The stench of queerphobia becomes even worse if one speculates that Disney have become so fucking spineless and pathetic that they were too scared of a boy MC being seen as "gay" if he goes through a journey of self discovery involving sparkly magical powers in a whimsical world.
And I know Hexed has been in production since like 2019, but them changing the MC from a boy to a girl reeks of several things, including Disney not so low-key wanting to replace Luz as their "awkward teenage girl that goes into a magical world with witches."
Now when people ask what Disney's equivalent to *barf* the Terfling IP is, Disney can point at Hexed and say "Look! We have witches and magical worlds too!", now it'll be even easier to sweep The Owl House under the rug while pushing this no doubt throughly sanitized and committee shaped IP.
But The Owl House is too queer and too "radical" to be pushed as an IP, so the most it's getting is a graphic novel years after it ends, while Hexed will get the premium Disney treatment with a fuck ton of merch and supplemental material everywhere.
Coming back to add that, while there certainly seem to be plot differences between Hexed and Owl House, Disney clearly wants Hexed to be their "awkward teenage girl goes into a strange magical world" IP, which they know can be a fucking gold mine.
Reminder to watch the pilot of and support Knights of Guinevere, we need more of Dana Terrace's next masterpiece:

And like, sure, most audiences don't know or care about any of this, if the movie tanks it'll be for other reasons, but queer people who follow this kind of stuff are understandably not super enthusiastic about Hexed right now
