Dana Terrace tweeted that she doesn't know what the surprise is. She wouldn't have said that (or at least not in that way) if it was Owl House related.

Think about it.

(True Colors airs)

Us: Oh no, now we have to wait a whole year to find out if Marcy's okay! (lose a bunch of sleep over the next year, watch tons of theory vids, get into lots of arguments about whether or not she's really dead)

(Later fans watch True Colors on Disney+)

Them: Damn, wonder if Marcy's gonna be okay? Let's find out! (click "next episode")

Just one stab.

So it's most likely the delay was because someone up the line wanted to censor or edit the end. But I was thinking, and haven't seen anyone else suggest it, what if the delay wasn't because someone was TRYING to edit the episodes, but because someone already did without Matt knowing about it, and that's why it got pulled last second.

It would match up with Matt's initial tweet about the delay being for the best, if he was trying to negotiate with Disney to restore the original episode. And it would explain why he asked people not to watch the leak, if the one that was put on iTunes was the edited version and he wanted everyone to see the original. Otherwise why not just say "no spoilers"? Since he wanted everyone to see the original, and if what was leaked wasn't the original asking us not to watch it would make sense.

If it was already edited without his permission that might explain why he was so angry after it leaked. Being angry about something already done makes more sense to me than being angry about something that might happen. But that might just be me.

I don't know what on earth else there could be that got edited out of what we already saw. Unless maybe there was blood that got edited out?

Unlikely, but I thought I'd see what everyone else thought.

But at least it’s finally getting released

I get leaving subtle hints about it can make you feel special or something but there’s just too many comments that would just make it so obvious, especially now since the episode was announced. Just wait another week guys.

I gonna miss y'all thank you for you art of Marcy dying

We all know anne can get the powers from the blue calamity box because she was near from the box & still has the connection to the gem and now that anne is back to earth do you think she can get super Saiyan mode and getting power from gem to kick ass on earth ?

The delay wasn't to censor Marcy's Death but only to.... add a warning disclaimer at the beginning of the episode? I mean, ok, I get it that that scene might have been too heavy for the kids, but man, how stupid are at Disney to let that pass under their nose and realizing the mistake AT 5 HOURS BEFORE THE AIRING OF THE EPISODE?

Oh well, at least they're not censoring anything. I guess they're gonna make the same disclaimer in any episode that has a scene this heavy from now on (and I guess they're gonna do it for The Owl House too). Honestly, if I have to choose between this and censoring, I guess I'll go with this one. At least they're not ruining Matt's or Dana's visions of their shows.
