Less controversial question/scenario: somebody put a Whoopee Cushion on Andrias' throne. Whodunnit??

Grime has a lot of Villainous Valor and a Villainous Friendship with Sasha. He might be brutal and cruel, but he's not a backstabber.
It always bugged me that he was wanted for treason in S2, since he didn't betray anyone, he just failed at suppressing the frog revolt. I think it was supposed to be an early hint that whoever ruled in Newtopia wasn't actually benevolent, but it's never really called out, and he does commit treason later (though he probably wouldn't have if the newts hadn't tried to kill him...)
Or grimey as he liked to be called.
see my completed Tangled (Varian) fanfic collection! https://archiveofourown.org/works/24467056/chapters/59049532A recent youtube video compared Amphibia to The Owl House. The video said that The Owl House, in its last two seasons, was consistently a 9 out of 10. Amphibia on the other hand was generally a 7 out of 10, but occasionally went all out and went up to an 11 out of 10. In other words, The Owl House was generally the better show, but Amphibia, at its best, did sometimes surpass it. But those moments were few and far between.
How many people agree with this opinion?

I mostly agree with that. I don't think Amphibia ever quite outdid Owl House's best moments, but it matched its highs at least.
Something I will give Amphibia is that I like its earlier episodes more than Owl House's early ones. They feel more in line with the rest of the show.

I agree with that. Early Owl House episodes were very much hit or miss, and the show found its real footing in Season 2 (and the shortened Season 3 is a masterpiece all the way). By contrast, Amphibia had a stronger start, and while the finale was still really good, it wasn't as great as the Owl House finale.
I actually liked Amphibia's finale better than The Owl House's... I think it just hit better for me emotionally.
In general I do agree with that assessment. I think TOH was more consistently better in quality but Amphibia had higher highs. I generally like Amphibia's season finales better than TOH's season finales, though all of both shows' season finales were very good.
When we're done, there won't be anything left.
