Compare the production team who made Amphibia vs TOH. Dana had plenty of experience in the industry, but TOH was her first time writing scripts and nearly all of the crew who worked on TOH were fresh out of college and had limited experience working on anything else. This was everyone's very first professional project, and you can tell by how the writing suffers for it. Cartoons made from the latter half of the 2000s and onwards (before streaming) usually excel when they have 2-3 writers an episode. Not only was Dana new to writing scripts, but Owl House had 3-4 writers per episode on average. Too many scriptwriters on a average sized show or movie will kill any sense of emotional "flow" and effective story focus as things will feel like they're checking off boxes or lacking tension.
