I love seeing people's reactions when they have no prior knowledge of a show I love, seeing them seeing the ships, new characters and epic fights for the first time is one of my favourite things!! Especially with such an amazing show like the owl house
(At 31:50) you can tell from Lilith's face, this is NOT what she agreed to and all she wanted was to fix a mistake she did to her little sister. Now she realizes that "man in power" she trusted… is a deceiver.
(At 3:45) This one part Bump said really make me laugh. Willow: We should have just kept a low profile. Boscha could get away with MURDER, if she wanted to. Principal Bump: What's this? Boscha got away with murder? I can't say that I approved, but at least she's trying new things.
Next up: Season 2, generally considered by many and myself the best season of The Owl House, and it’s easy to see why. There’s a reason why most creators give it their all when companies like Disney decide to pull the plug on something without reason, and if they do have a reason, it’s to hide their true colors (Amphibia pun somewhat intended; now that I’m thinking about it, maybe they should consider watching Amphibia now that they’ve finished Gravity Falls)
@@donovan802 Yeah! I'm not actually a Patron, but looking at it I can see the newest Amphibia reaction is episode 3. Pretty sure they're further than that though, maybe halfway through season 1 at this point!
i actually like that lilith's reason for cursing her sister wasn't some massive complex issue. it was simple childish jealousy that lead to a stupid mistake. i also think it's worth pointing out, as many people in the chat did, that lilith thought that the spell would only take away eda's magic for *a day.* her intentions were still bad, especially considering the duel was going to decide their futures, but like many real-life conflicts it was a foolish, petty mistake that led to massive, lasting, unintended consequences. on another note... one thing that caught my attention when watching this episode for the first time is the scroll the curse was on. did it give false information, saying that the curse would only take away someone's magic for a day? i assume lilith read it or had information about it before she used it, which leads me to think that the true nature of the curse wasn't on the scroll for some reason. if so, why? did someone write it like that?
She didn't even know it was a curse, just that it was a kind of spell to nullify Eda's powers for a day, and like she said, it was "necessary to make sacrifices", even if she did something wrong, we can't forget that she was just a teenager
Yeah I feel like ppl forget how stupid kids can be. They’re not mature at handling their own emotions. It’s funny how ppl expect so much maturity from children emotionally but then also treat them like idiots as if they can’t use logic. It’s the other way around really. They’re logical, but they’re not emotionally stable.
We went from laughing so much at Amity’s gay panic to immediate emotional trauma with these three episodes. Also, Episode 18 was THE episode that caused everyone to vent their hatred towards Lilith on the internet (like one of the few times you could go onto Twitter and see actually warranted hatred towards something/someone not focused on reality).
"For something as dumb as this" Okay but to Lilith, it wasn't something dumb. It was her future at stake. If she lost this duel, she'd never be able to join the Emperor's Coven.
Yeah, their reaction was pretty extreme, I’m not sure if they understood as much that it wasn’t just a “duel for sport” sort of thing and it was the fact that this was Lilith’s opportunity to get into the elite. I mean, look at her, she was the head of the Emperor’s coven, a highly esteemed position. She was only able to get into the coven in the first place because of that fight. And we’ve seen how much this society puts pressure on the idea of covens and finding your place in society. For Lilith, who bought into the system ideologically, joining the emperor’s coven gave her identity. Eda meanwhile forged her own identity outside of the system laid out, which can be seen even when she was younger for refusing to fight her sister, because Eda didn’t feel like she needed the coven for identity, and valued her own ideals of family more. Super interesting scene that says a lot about the characters, but it felt a little bit like they didn’t understand how important winning the fight was for Lilith.
@@code8825 I think their point is that nobody should hurt their own family in order to achieve success. If def wasn’t trivial, but it was more like weighing what’s most important. Family or status and money.
Also this was the only coven she ever wanted and this could mean if she failed she could be covenless and be hunted by what was her dream, putting more sadness to her even counting what we know in season 2, but she still did a bad thing even on accident
Big late but heres my take. Doesn't matter how much the fight mattered, doesn't matter if she didn't mean to curse her for longer than a day, she did something that is flat out no excuses beyond messed up and she shouldn't be let off the hook for any reason. That doesn't mean she can't be forgiven (That is Eda's decision, and hers alone), but this should never be forgotten or in any way smoothed over because she "didn't mean it" or was "doing it for her own future". Think of it this way, as an analogy to irl human life. Lilith and Eda were being tested to see if they could get into a prestigious university like Harvard but there was only one spot left, the other would have to settle with a mediocre college at best. Lilith was well aware that she would likely fail to beat Eda's score, so instead of letting Eda even try Lilith drugged her enough to hospitalize her for the day just to eliminate the *chance* that Eda would outperform her. There were a myriad of other things Lilith could have done or tried before jumping to cursing Eda, like an imprisonment spell to prevent her from showing up, distracting her with illusions, or the easiest one of all, sit down and have a heart felt chat with the sister she was best friends with about her fears and concerns to see if there was a peaceful way to resolve the situation.
Lilith meant to do something bad but relatively harmless. It's like they were competing for a spot in the Olympics and she gave Eda laxatives so she couldn't compete but it didn't mix well with her allergy pills and gave her a heart condition
(At 21:32) If I were to guess, that's NOT a giant heart. If anything, THAT'S probably a giant bile sac, which is the source of magic attached a individual's heart.
Haven't seen it mentioned, but it was mid-day when Luz and the gang went to the castle. But it's morning when Luz gets back home. She walked all the way back to the Owl House, alone.
The trio of AUDIO shorts definitely ARE necessary between episode 10 & 11. After Episode 10 of Season 2 look up "Luz's Diary" ; "Palisman Observations", & "Lilith's Letter to Hooty"
Since people have recommended Infinity Train I'll suggest Over the Garden Wall, it's a short show but has a good reputation for it's atmosphere and interesting ending.
If you thought season 1 was good, season 2 is going to kick it up to near perfection with no filler, incredible character development from our known characters and new ones. You guys are gonna love it!
(At 34:40) Glyphs don't work because there's no strong source of magic, like the Titan's remains that have circulate through the entire demon realm (over the centuries), existing in the human realm.
you definitely gotta watch amphibia next. It's basically the sister series to owl house and admittedly it's got a pretty slow start as the plot doesn't really begin until halfway through the first season but when the story gets going it's just as good as owl house and gravity falls
I will definitely be checking it out. I just finished The Owl House myself. I loved Gravity Falls, but was hesitant to check out Owl House and Amphibia, but I definitely will now
@@mohj6042 Yeah sorry! Could still be a fun watch, but if you are looking for more than fun kids show shenanigans then Amphibia has minimal to offer (and most of what it does have to offer isn't of high quality as I said before) The second season is decent (s3 being the worst) but if you don't vibe with season one you won't vibe with the show overall. I do hope you enjoy it though!
I will just say that to Lilith joining the emperors coven was her childhood dream. She grew up believing that being by the emperors side is all that matters and she was brainwashed into thinking sacrifices must be made to join the coven by the emperors propaganda. Thus she cursed her sister. She thought all it would do is weaken her magic for a day. She thought it was a minor debuff spell. She never expected Eda to become monster. After that all she did was try and rise up the ranks of the coven to get close enough to the emperor to convince him to cure Eda. He realized this and used curing Eda as the carrot to get her to do everything for him.
This season finale was truly amazing. Honestly, I really enjoyed ur theories and reactions to certain scenes and characters. As for Lilith cursing Eda, u have to remember that they were living in a totalitharian society and, more importantly, Lilith truly believed in its greatness. She did that because, as she said, that's what Belos would've done and she viewed him as a perfect individual. So Lilith was basically a victim of propaganda who spent her life trying to correct her mistakes while simultaneously running away from them.
So season 3 of the Owl house may not air in the near future, but Amphibia finished its 3rd and final season not to long ago and definitely worth a look, especially if you liked the Owl House.
If you guys are looking for recommendations I strongly suggest "she-ra and the princesses of power" (the 2018 Netflix reboot), it's really good, like, cry trauma funny good, also Amphibia because it's the funny frog show :))
I haven't seen all of Season 2 just yet, but at this point of the story, looking at the Emperor Belos's staff, it makes me think that he's some kind of Technomancer or something.
Best rant from Luz: Luz: That just INVALIDATES… all our efforts! If catching that thing is *so* important, WHY do anything else?! There's NO reason to watch *ANY* OF THE OTHER PLAYERS! THAT'S SUCH A *STUPID* RULE!
Season three is coming out October 15th! The third season was confirmed early season one and the cut was announced after season 2 episode 8 aired during a stream!
@@AceOfSerberit I'd love to provide it but the site is a registry for video media. It would be leaking info about thousands of other shows/movies too and that's just,, not great. I CAN say The people who leaked it to the fandom were Owl Club, who used the same source as me. My friend actually had to email them to take the link to the og info off their release date leak! It's def legit, and a delay is incredibly unlikely. Shockingly enough the third episode was extended by 10 minutes too! (I have a tumblr post going into further detail if you'd like more info but if not? The extension is looking incredibly likely!)
As always, loving your great reaction to this super fun series! And the Lilith reveal is always such a blast. Like y'all, I was angry that Lilith was the one who cursed Eda, even if it was only for a day. But then I started thinking back to how Eda's been portrayed this entire season -- constantly cheating, scheming, and usually getting away with it. I'd bet good money that while Lilith cursed Eda with a supposed-to-be-a-day-long-take-away-your-powers-curse, back in the day Eda cursed Lilith on more than one occasion. Interactions like the first witches duel between them where Lilith says "I only cheated because I knew you would" and Eda's delighted "Welcome down to my level!" says that when the two of them have clashed in the past, Eda never fought fair -- and cursing an opponent to get the upper hand? Definitely Eda's style! But also definitely not the "straight-laced" / "by the book" Lilith's style! Thus the shock and surprise! Heck, Lilith out-Eda'd Eda herself with that one!
46:24 yes! PLEASE do infinity train! It's a masterpiece full of lovable characters, an amazing concept, pretty great animation, lots of emotions, and the writing is incredible
Show recommendations: - Infinity Train- it’s an anthology-style series but with continuity between characters and world building. This show starts off cute and just gets progressively darker. More of a sci-fi tone but it’s FANTASTIC - Over the Garden Wall- watch this show in autumn, you won’t regret it. - Amphibia- first season is SLOW. following seasons pick up big time with the occasional filler. - codename: Kids Next Door - Avatar the Last Airbender (if you haven’t already seen it)- arguably one of the best western series. Longer than most modern shows too. - Centaurworld- it’s an experience - Hilda - Star vs the Forces of Evil- curious to see your opinions as the later seasons are very polarizing.
Over the Garden Wall and Infinity Train for your next shows. Along with GF, TOH, and Amphibia, they're the best modern cartoons (and imo better than every adult animation except Bojack/Rick and Morty)
It's crazy that you instantly call her sister a b**** after learning she cursed her and you completely overlook all her efforts to fix edas Curse and protect her
She cursed her baby sister…deliberately and then left her to deal with it for over 20 years by herself while constantly pushing her to join a coven she never wanted to be a part of. And then she threatened to kill Luz, someone that that she knew Eda had grown very fond of and basically told her to piss off after she pushed her sister to her limit in order to capture her. Yes she made a stupid mistake as a kid, but the fact that she acted so cold and awful towards her sister well into adulthood, never admitting it was her fault until it escaped her in a fit of jealous rage, and belittling her lifestyle for which she is majorly responsible for is nothing short of disgusting and pathetic. Regretting your actions mean nothing if all you’ve been doing since then has amounted to fuck all in terms of helping the person you’ve wronged. I’d say bitch is a well earned title.
@@karenroque3583 @Karen Roque but she didn't mean to curse her? her intentions were to put a spell on her to take away her powers for a day so she'd lose the dual, not curse her. so when eda turned into the owl beast, lilith had to live with her consequences of accidentally cursing her, but she didn't deliberately curse eda. and i agree she was very cold to her and should have told her the truth but this was meant for us to realize lilith wasn't the evil person we thought she was, and that she wanted to right her wrongs. that meant recruiting eda with the intentions of having belos take away her curse (which obvs he never planned on doing)
infinity train for sure! i would also recommend "she ra and the princesses of power" and "over the garden wall" (though you'd wanna wait til autumn to watch the latter). but mostly infinity train. i would personally rank it a good bit above amphibia, quality-wise (despite amphibia and owl house overlapping in a lot of ways because they were made in the same studio at the same time) but that's just my personal subjective opinion and some ppl would disagree one nice thing about infinity train is that each season is its own little story, so you could just watch season 1 (10 episodes, 11ish minutes long, so like the equivalent of like 5 owl house episodes) to test the waters and see if you like the series or not
in lilith's defense: what coven you join is a way bigger deal than like, getting into college or something. it's basically what you'll be doing for the rest of your life and all magic not allowed by your coven is sealed away forever. and the emperor's coven has always been framed as something almost everyone aspires to, not to mention having the privilege of using all types of magic. that said lilith's response was absolutely horrible anyways lol and everyone knows it including her. i do enjoy that it's pretty clear eda forgives her not because her actions are easily forgivable (they are very much not), but because she plain just likes her sister. they clearly got along surprisingly well even in modern day, even in the middle of Being Mortal Enemies and whatnot; and lilith herself clearly feels the full weight of what an awful thing she did to her sister. so there's no point for eda to hold it against her, since she does actually like having her sister around again and not being, yknow, on opposing sides of the law its one of those cases where the question of whether a character "deserves" redemption or forgiveness is pointless because the actual question is whether the person she hurt WANTS to forgive her. eda would have been entirely in her rights to not allow her sister back into her life, but she does because that's just what makes the most sense for her character.
If I had to recommend one cartoon for you to watch it would be adventure time, it 10 season long and there is 4 special episode to watch for when you've finished it. The plot takes sometimes to begin but when it comes it’s amazing. And the ending is one of the best cartoon ending ever.
Cartoon shows that you could watch: The dragon prince, infinity train, the last airbender, the legend of korra. Animes: My hero academia, the rising of the shield hero, fire force.
(At 19:44) To be fair, put yourself in Hooty's position. You're terribly lonely because no one likes talking to you. Your job involves beating up hordes of people who try to attack your boss. The people you just beat up are lying on the ground recovering, and the people you're protecting from them still don't want to spend time with you. Why WOULDN'T you take this opportunity to have a tea party with the defeated attackers who are too tired to run away? It's the best thing you've got.
The thing about shorts is..it's kind of like some filler episodes in Anime but shorter It has nothing to do with the actual plot but you can watch it if you want.
You should really watch Amphibia when you're done with the owl house and you haven't seen it yet The first season could be considered slow but a lot of season 1 is important for comebacks in season 2&3 And 2&3 are awesome Let's just say it made me cry more than twice Also... Gravity falls, owl house and amphibia are basically the same universe Edit: And she-ra and the princesses of power is another great show
Always love hearing peoples initial theories on who/what Belos is. Cuz the show does such a great job of keeping details like that under wraps here, while still effectively showcasing how dangerous and menacing he is. So seeing what people come up with, regardless of what it is, is so much fun
I know you said you’ll be watching Amphibia, but I definitely still recommend that one. Over the Garden Wall is really cool and I absolutely recommend it, but it’s only around 1.5/2 hours, so it’s definitely a short one.
God I always forget what a seismic tone shift meeting the emperor for the first time is. Btw, we never got an explanation for what the fuck that even is. It could be the heart of the titan, but it seems too attuned to Belos' emotions (beating faster as he loses patience with Lilith ) for it to be that simple. And if the titan's heart is beating, then how has it been decomposing for so long? I want to know what that beating heart's about damn it. It's one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a kid's show, and I don't imagine it wasn't pushed back on by the producers, which means it was a very deliberate choice.
24:07 I would have LOVED if “the emperor” had actually planned on saving Eda but he needed the Healing Hat to do it, so when Lilith asked him to save her he would just say he couldn’t BECAUSE she was too reckless.
There is another message hidden in the episodes that is separate from the message you get from the first letters of the episode names. There is a cryptic word in every episode hidden in the background, which are in a phonetic Runic language, and would then need to be translated to english to get the hidden word. Put the words in the order of the episodes to get a full message. The message for season 1 would be: “TWO WITCHES TORN APART NOW ALONE TWO HEARTS OF STONE A CURSE OF FEATHERS AND MUD A BETRAYAL OF BLOOD”
Wait so I have a question! Okay first, when someone said Hooty kidnapped Amity and brought her to the house, if you go back, you'll see she walked over there on the crutches waving as she went inside the house, but then Hooty picked her up and took her over to the couch. (for the end of episode 17). NOW- The question I have is, There are SHORTS?! I was not aware of Owl House having shorts inbetween seasons. If so I would love to find out where. Thank you!
Show recommendations: My top recommendation is either Infinity Train or Kipo... but I've listed a couple shows I think you'd be getting recommendations for below with spoiler-FREE description to give you a vague idea of what you might like or be interested in more. Also all the shows below are finished airing as far as I know, so no waiting will be required for finale seasons and such :) (Infinity Train, Centaurworld, Kipo and the age of the wonderbeasts, Star vs. The forces of evil below) ... Infinity Train-I don't know how to describe it besides intriguing and Gravity Falls-ish. It's really amazing. Centaurworld-humour of Amphibia, but some episodes warrant trigger warnings. Dark yet fun,sometimes to the point of ridiculous. Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts-Reminds me of Amphibia but with a quicker pace She-ra-Definite Kipo and Owl house vibes, but it picks up pace quicker than the owl house if my memory serves me right. Star vs the forces of evil-Its Disney again so there's that, but it has the humour of Amphibia with the some like Owl House vibes. (Some say it went downhill for the finale season, but I never watched the last season so I can't say)
You guys should watch Inifinity Train next; it's a series thats set on a seemingly endless train travelling through a barren landscape; the train cars contain a variety of bizarre and fantastical environments. The passengers on the train are people it picks up who have unresolved emotional issues or trauma.
Suggestions ahoy! You guys have already talked about doing Amphibia, which is the natural next show to watch. Beyond that, I think you should watch The Dragon Prince. It isn't even halfway over yet, but what there is so far is gold. And if by some chance you haven't seen Avatar the Last Airbender, definitely do that too.
Season 1, while good still, definitely has some weak episodes, the body swap and carnival come to mind for me personally. But goddamn season 2 just blows 1 out of the water so I'm excited to see you guys get to it.
Alright I know this reaction is a little old at this point but centaur world needs to be viewed by this group I think they’d love it. Plus not nearly enough reactions of that show exist xD
34:40 you can use witch magic/magic from witches bile sac but you can’t use glyphs. 3x1 SPOILER- But in the 3x1 episode she found out she can use them after many failed attempts.
After Owl House you should do Amphibia, finish the trifecta of amazing Disney series about weird ass shit. And they're theoretically all in the same universe.
I'd definitely recommend for you guys to continue watching owl house with season 2, I feel like this show only gets better! But if you're looking for more shows to watch afterwards I'd definitely love to see you react to avatar the last airbender. It's one of my favourite shows, it's just brilliant. Great character development, good lore, lovable characters and fantastic humour.
The last two episodes are the first times my favourite character appears! Just a cameo tho his real debut is s2e01 lol. Can't wait to see how you guys react to him!
If y'all are looking for another show to watch after this I definitely recommend amphibia IT IS SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED OML I HAVE NEVER CRIED SO HARD BECAUSE OF A SHOW FIVE TIMES PLEASE WATCH IT WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE
A show I think you should check out is Shera and the princesses of power. It’s more of a show that cycles through different types of upbringings and manipulation. Trust me it’s worth watching. In fact most shera fans are owl house fans, shera ended the time owl house begun and fandoms kind of merged into each other. Please check this show out. It’s so good and it all has a deeper meaning.
I love seeing people's reactions when they have no prior knowledge of a show I love, seeing them seeing the ships, new characters and epic fights for the first time is one of my favourite things!! Especially with such an amazing show like the owl house
Totally get it. This is kinda ... my fifth time watching the show through reactions

"Amity's character development has been the best in the show!"

"For something as dumb as this"
Okay but to Lilith, it wasn't something dumb. It was her future at stake. If she lost this duel, she'd never be able to join the Emperor's Coven.

Lilith meant to do something bad but relatively harmless. It's like they were competing for a spot in the Olympics and she gave Eda laxatives so she couldn't compete but it didn't mix well with her allergy pills and gave her a heart condition

@@aaaaaaaasdef Sorry to add on, but it's bile sac, not sack! Sac ≠ sack
Haven't seen it mentioned, but it was mid-day when Luz and the gang went to the castle.
But it's morning when Luz gets back home.
She walked all the way back to the Owl House, alone.
The trio of AUDIO shorts definitely ARE necessary between episode 10 & 11. After Episode 10 of Season 2 look up "Luz's Diary" ; "Palisman Observations", & "Lilith's Letter to Hooty"
Since people have recommended Infinity Train I'll suggest Over the Garden Wall, it's a short show but has a good reputation for it's atmosphere and interesting ending.
If you thought season 1 was good, season 2 is going to kick it up to near perfection with no filler, incredible character development from our known characters and new ones. You guys are gonna love it!
Over the garden wall is a great short series. It only has 10 episodes
(At 34:40) Glyphs don't work because there's no strong source of magic, like the Titan's remains that have circulate through the entire demon realm (over the centuries), existing in the human realm.
you definitely gotta watch amphibia next. It's basically the sister series to owl house and admittedly it's got a pretty slow start as the plot doesn't really begin until halfway through the first season but when the story gets going it's just as good as owl house and gravity falls
I will definitely be checking it out. I just finished The Owl House myself. I loved Gravity Falls, but was hesitant to check out Owl House and Amphibia, but I definitely will now
I like amphibia but the story and writing quality really isn't comparable at all. Feels dishonest
@@camarvan oh man is that true, I'll still give it a shot, but sucks hearing that
@@mohj6042 Yeah sorry! Could still be a fun watch, but if you are looking for more than fun kids show shenanigans then Amphibia has minimal to offer (and most of what it does have to offer isn't of high quality as I said before) The second season is decent (s3 being the worst) but if you don't vibe with season one you won't vibe with the show overall. I do hope you enjoy it though!
@@camarvanPlease.. the owl house better than amphibia?
I will just say that to Lilith joining the emperors coven was her childhood dream. She grew up believing that being by the emperors side is all that matters and she was brainwashed into thinking sacrifices must be made to join the coven by the emperors propaganda. Thus she cursed her sister. She thought all it would do is weaken her magic for a day. She thought it was a minor debuff spell. She never expected Eda to become monster. After that all she did was try and rise up the ranks of the coven to get close enough to the emperor to convince him to cure Eda. He realized this and used curing Eda as the carrot to get her to do everything for him.
If you guys haven't watched Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel Legend of Korra, you really should! They are great series! :D
Infinity Train would be an AMAZING show for yalls to watch!
This season finale was truly amazing. Honestly, I really enjoyed ur theories and reactions to certain scenes and characters. As for Lilith cursing Eda, u have to remember that they were living in a totalitharian society and, more importantly, Lilith truly believed in its greatness. She did that because, as she said, that's what Belos would've done and she viewed him as a perfect individual. So Lilith was basically a victim of propaganda who spent her life trying to correct her mistakes while simultaneously running away from them.
So season 3 of the Owl house may not air in the near future, but Amphibia finished its 3rd and final season not to long ago and definitely worth a look, especially if you liked the Owl House.
If you guys are looking for recommendations I strongly suggest "she-ra and the princesses of power" (the 2018 Netflix reboot), it's really good, like, cry trauma funny good, also Amphibia because it's the funny frog show :))
They have allready started funny frog show on patreon
@@thijs6439 oh nice
she ra is amazing, one of my favourite netflix shows
Also DuckTales 2017, Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts
@@Otisboy121 yeeeeees, they're both amazing!! also kipo is super underrated, it's one of netflix's best gems
I think either infinity train or amphibia two very emotional and very good shows
Infinity train is pretty amazing, kipo is also pretty cool, in case you haven't watched it.
FYI, Luz's last line was "Leave a light on for me, mama. I love you."
I haven't seen all of Season 2 just yet, but at this point of the story, looking at the Emperor Belos's staff, it makes me think that he's some kind of Technomancer or something.
Have you guys already watched Avatar the last Airbender? If not, I think that would be a great option to watch next.
Best rant from Luz:
Luz: That just INVALIDATES… all our efforts!
If catching that thing is *so* important, WHY do anything else?!
There's NO reason to watch *ANY* OF THE OTHER PLAYERS!
THAT'S SUCH A *STUPID* RULE!
Magic sports in a nutshell.
I loved that rant
Season three is coming out October 15th! The third season was confirmed early season one and the cut was announced after season 2 episode 8 aired during a stream!
Man…
source on that date?
@@AceOfSerberit I'd love to provide it but the site is a registry for video media. It would be leaking info about thousands of other shows/movies too and that's just,, not great.
I CAN say The people who leaked it to the fandom were Owl Club, who used the same source as me. My friend actually had to email them to take the link to the og info off their release date leak! It's def legit, and a delay is incredibly unlikely. Shockingly enough the third episode was extended by 10 minutes too! (I have a tumblr post going into further detail if you'd like more info but if not? The extension is looking incredibly likely!)
As always, loving your great reaction to this super fun series! And the Lilith reveal is always such a blast.
Like y'all, I was angry that Lilith was the one who cursed Eda, even if it was only for a day. But then I started thinking back to how Eda's been portrayed this entire season -- constantly cheating, scheming, and usually getting away with it. I'd bet good money that while Lilith cursed Eda with a supposed-to-be-a-day-long-take-away-your-powers-curse, back in the day Eda cursed Lilith on more than one occasion. Interactions like the first witches duel between them where Lilith says "I only cheated because I knew you would" and Eda's delighted "Welcome down to my level!" says that when the two of them have clashed in the past, Eda never fought fair -- and cursing an opponent to get the upper hand? Definitely Eda's style! But also definitely not the "straight-laced" / "by the book" Lilith's style! Thus the shock and surprise! Heck, Lilith out-Eda'd Eda herself with that one!
That's a really good point.
Actually Lilith was a child when she did the curse and she thought it was for one day so its very forgivable actually
When u spend enough time on twitter u automatically reach for a retweet button when u see a comment like this only to not find it there.
46:24 yes! PLEASE do infinity train! It's a masterpiece full of lovable characters, an amazing concept, pretty great animation, lots of emotions, and the writing is incredible
Spoilers:
“Hooty kidnapped her [Amity].”
Bro foreshadowing without knowing it.
lol
Spencer Wan not only animated that fight scene, but also Luz and Amity's dance in episode 16.
Show recommendations:
- Infinity Train- it’s an anthology-style series but with continuity between characters and world building. This show starts off cute and just gets progressively darker. More of a sci-fi tone but it’s FANTASTIC
- Over the Garden Wall- watch this show in autumn, you won’t regret it.
- Amphibia- first season is SLOW. following seasons pick up big time with the occasional filler.
- codename: Kids Next Door
- Avatar the Last Airbender (if you haven’t already seen it)- arguably one of the best western series. Longer than most modern shows too.
- Centaurworld- it’s an experience
- Hilda
- Star vs the Forces of Evil- curious to see your opinions as the later seasons are very polarizing.
Over the Garden Wall and Infinity Train for your next shows. Along with GF, TOH, and Amphibia, they're the best modern cartoons (and imo better than every adult animation except Bojack/Rick and Morty)
It's crazy that you instantly call her sister a b**** after learning she cursed her and you completely overlook all her efforts to fix edas Curse and protect her
Shhhhhhh
Season 2 it's coming, they'll get it.
Ikr! Lilith should be judged for her life serving the coven system, not a mistake she made at 16 and regretted every day for the rest of her life
She cursed her baby sister…deliberately and then left her to deal with it for over 20 years by herself while constantly pushing her to join a coven she never wanted to be a part of. And then she threatened to kill Luz, someone that that she knew Eda had grown very fond of and basically told her to piss off after she pushed her sister to her limit in order to capture her. Yes she made a stupid mistake as a kid, but the fact that she acted so cold and awful towards her sister well into adulthood, never admitting it was her fault until it escaped her in a fit of jealous rage, and belittling her lifestyle for which she is majorly responsible for is nothing short of disgusting and pathetic. Regretting your actions mean nothing if all you’ve been doing since then has amounted to fuck all in terms of helping the person you’ve wronged. I’d say bitch is a well earned title.
@@karenroque3583 Yes. But they called her a bitch for the curse, not for the real shit
@@karenroque3583 @Karen Roque but she didn't mean to curse her? her intentions were to put a spell on her to take away her powers for a day so she'd lose the dual, not curse her. so when eda turned into the owl beast, lilith had to live with her consequences of accidentally cursing her, but she didn't deliberately curse eda. and i agree she was very cold to her and should have told her the truth but this was meant for us to realize lilith wasn't the evil person we thought she was, and that she wanted to right her wrongs. that meant recruiting eda with the intentions of having belos take away her curse (which obvs he never planned on doing)
infinity train for sure! i would also recommend "she ra and the princesses of power" and "over the garden wall" (though you'd wanna wait til autumn to watch the latter). but mostly infinity train. i would personally rank it a good bit above amphibia, quality-wise (despite amphibia and owl house overlapping in a lot of ways because they were made in the same studio at the same time) but that's just my personal subjective opinion and some ppl would disagree
one nice thing about infinity train is that each season is its own little story, so you could just watch season 1 (10 episodes, 11ish minutes long, so like the equivalent of like 5 owl house episodes) to test the waters and see if you like the series or not
40:50 She said "Deja una luz puesta para mí. Te quiero." = "Keep the lights on for me. I love you."
in lilith's defense: what coven you join is a way bigger deal than like, getting into college or something. it's basically what you'll be doing for the rest of your life and all magic not allowed by your coven is sealed away forever. and the emperor's coven has always been framed as something almost everyone aspires to, not to mention having the privilege of using all types of magic.
that said lilith's response was absolutely horrible anyways lol and everyone knows it including her. i do enjoy that it's pretty clear eda forgives her not because her actions are easily forgivable (they are very much not), but because she plain just likes her sister. they clearly got along surprisingly well even in modern day, even in the middle of Being Mortal Enemies and whatnot; and lilith herself clearly feels the full weight of what an awful thing she did to her sister. so there's no point for eda to hold it against her, since she does actually like having her sister around again and not being, yknow, on opposing sides of the law
its one of those cases where the question of whether a character "deserves" redemption or forgiveness is pointless because the actual question is whether the person she hurt WANTS to forgive her. eda would have been entirely in her rights to not allow her sister back into her life, but she does because that's just what makes the most sense for her character.
If I had to recommend one cartoon for you to watch it would be adventure time, it 10 season long and there is 4 special episode to watch for when you've finished it.
The plot takes sometimes to begin but when it comes it’s amazing. And the ending is one of the best cartoon ending ever.
Cartoon shows that you could watch: The dragon prince, infinity train, the last airbender, the legend of korra.
Animes: My hero academia, the rising of the shield hero, fire force.
If you want a show similar to owl house maybe watch amphibia air has a similar plot but are also very different from each other
(At 19:44) To be fair, put yourself in Hooty's position. You're terribly lonely because no one likes talking to you. Your job involves beating up hordes of people who try to attack your boss. The people you just beat up are lying on the ground recovering, and the people you're protecting from them still don't want to spend time with you. Why WOULDN'T you take this opportunity to have a tea party with the defeated attackers who are too tired to run away? It's the best thing you've got.
The thing about shorts is..it's kind of like some filler episodes in Anime but shorter
It has nothing to do with the actual plot but you can watch it if you want.
You should really watch Amphibia when you're done with the owl house and you haven't seen it yet
The first season could be considered slow but a lot of season 1 is important for comebacks in season 2&3
And 2&3 are awesome
Let's just say it made me cry more than twice
Also... Gravity falls, owl house and amphibia are basically the same universe
Edit: And she-ra and the princesses of power is another great show
Always love hearing peoples initial theories on who/what Belos is. Cuz the show does such a great job of keeping details like that under wraps here, while still effectively showcasing how dangerous and menacing he is. So seeing what people come up with, regardless of what it is, is so much fun
I know you said you’ll be watching Amphibia, but I definitely still recommend that one. Over the Garden Wall is really cool and I absolutely recommend it, but it’s only around 1.5/2 hours, so it’s definitely a short one.
Man, Hooty is a security system there to protect Eda. It seems to me like his tactics aren’t actually that bad. He doesn’t even kill them,
emperor belos once said "To Be Great You Must Be Willing To Make Sacrifices" remember thse words you guy will need it on the day of unity
God I watched when the season was first coming out and we had to wait weeks for the last episode. The chills and the heartbreaks
God I always forget what a seismic tone shift meeting the emperor for the first time is. Btw, we never got an explanation for what the fuck that even is. It could be the heart of the titan, but it seems too attuned to Belos' emotions (beating faster as he loses patience with Lilith ) for it to be that simple. And if the titan's heart is beating, then how has it been decomposing for so long? I want to know what that beating heart's about damn it. It's one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a kid's show, and I don't imagine it wasn't pushed back on by the producers, which means it was a very deliberate choice.
Y'all were talking and missed the "it was only supposed to last for a day" bit
24:07 I would have LOVED if “the emperor” had actually planned on saving Eda but he needed the Healing Hat to do it, so when Lilith asked him to save her he would just say he couldn’t BECAUSE she was too reckless.
I have a headcanon that Lil didn't care about the healing hat because she had already tried stealing it to fix the curse and it didn't work.
2:43 "Can't reason with crazy"
Oh no...
Lilith was on her Mable mood. She was a kid though and the use Hex me as kick me. Maybe it was a really bad mistake
There is another message hidden in the episodes that is separate from the message you get from the first letters of the episode names. There is a cryptic word in every episode hidden in the background, which are in a phonetic Runic language, and would then need to be translated to english to get the hidden word. Put the words in the order of the episodes to get a full message.
The message for season 1 would be:
“TWO WITCHES TORN APART NOW ALONE TWO HEARTS OF STONE A CURSE OF FEATHERS AND MUD A BETRAYAL OF BLOOD”
Wait so I have a question! Okay first, when someone said Hooty kidnapped Amity and brought her to the house, if you go back, you'll see she walked over there on the crutches waving as she went inside the house, but then Hooty picked her up and took her over to the couch. (for the end of episode 17). NOW- The question I have is, There are SHORTS?! I was not aware of Owl House having shorts inbetween seasons. If so I would love to find out where. Thank you!
The shorts are called Owl Pellets from what chat has told us
The Owl Pellet shorts were originally shown mid season 1 and are on Disney+. There's also a compilation of all five on UA-cam.
Show recommendations:
My top recommendation is either Infinity Train or Kipo... but I've listed a couple shows I think you'd be getting recommendations for below with spoiler-FREE description to give you a vague idea of what you might like or be interested in more. Also all the shows below are finished airing as far as I know, so no waiting will be required for finale seasons and such :)
(Infinity Train, Centaurworld, Kipo and the age of the wonderbeasts, Star vs. The forces of evil below)
...
Infinity Train-I don't know how to describe it besides intriguing and Gravity Falls-ish. It's really amazing.
Centaurworld-humour of Amphibia, but some episodes warrant trigger warnings. Dark yet fun,sometimes to the point of ridiculous.
Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts-Reminds me of Amphibia but with a quicker pace
She-ra-Definite Kipo and Owl house vibes, but it picks up pace quicker than the owl house if my memory serves me right.
Star vs the forces of evil-Its Disney again so there's that, but it has the humour of Amphibia with the some like Owl House vibes. (Some say it went downhill for the finale season, but I never watched the last season so I can't say)
I’ve been waiting for this
ME TOO
We all have
You guys should watch Inifinity Train next; it's a series thats set on a seemingly endless train travelling through a barren landscape; the train cars contain a variety of bizarre and fantastical environments. The passengers on the train are people it picks up who have unresolved emotional issues or trauma.
scissor 7 is a slow burn till the end then it turns into an inferno
If you asked me after episode 18 whether I liked Lilith, I would have laughed
Now? She's probably one of my favourite characters
You're gonna expect season 2 to have
Parental conflict
A lot of emotions
Island exploration
New characters
After Owl House you guys should DEFENITLEY check out infinity train or Amphibia, (Amphibia is more similar to The owl house so you guys might like it)
They animated that guy from Castlevania in an Owl house style
My suggestions are:
1) Infinity Train
2) Infinity Train
3) Infinity Train
4) (if you're interested in adult Western animation) Bojack Horseman
The fight scene till the course is finally complete is the best, most epic and beautiful sequence in the show by far!
Suggestions ahoy! You guys have already talked about doing Amphibia, which is the natural next show to watch. Beyond that, I think you should watch The Dragon Prince. It isn't even halfway over yet, but what there is so far is gold. And if by some chance you haven't seen Avatar the Last Airbender, definitely do that too.
27:40 I started watching the owl house about when episode 17 came out
Then 18 came out...
That was one of the longest weeks I've ever lived through
Season 1, while good still, definitely has some weak episodes, the body swap and carnival come to mind for me personally. But goddamn season 2 just blows 1 out of the water so I'm excited to see you guys get to it.
Amity is my absolute favorite character, such a great season all around
God I love this show so much. I also vote for you to watch Infinity Train afterwards!
Putting in another vote for you to watch centaurworld. Its got humor, depth, and bojack levels of self reflection
Watch The Dragon Prince!!!! It's so, so good
Alright I know this reaction is a little old at this point but centaur world needs to be viewed by this group I think they’d love it. Plus not nearly enough reactions of that show exist xD
Oh, a great show: Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts! Fuck it's good. Also, Dead End is very very good too.
34:40 you can use witch magic/magic from witches bile sac but you can’t use glyphs. 3x1 SPOILER- But in the 3x1 episode she found out she can use them after many failed attempts.
I would definitely recommend either SheRa: Princess of Power, Steven Universe, or Adventure Time
After Owl House you should do Amphibia, finish the trifecta of amazing Disney series about weird ass shit. And they're theoretically all in the same universe.
I'd definitely recommend for you guys to continue watching owl house with season 2, I feel like this show only gets better!
But if you're looking for more shows to watch afterwards I'd definitely love to see you react to avatar the last airbender. It's one of my favourite shows, it's just brilliant. Great character development, good lore, lovable characters and fantastic humour.
9:28
I just realised Hooty just got a full view of Lilith’s chest
Omg you guys gotta do infinty train too, it's amazing and I'm still so angry it got cancelled
The last two episodes are the first times my favourite character appears! Just a cameo tho his real debut is s2e01 lol. Can't wait to see how you guys react to him!
I recommed watching Infinity Train and Over The Garden Wall after you're finished with The Owl House.
If y'all are looking for another show to watch after this I definitely recommend amphibia IT IS SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED OML I HAVE NEVER CRIED SO HARD BECAUSE OF A SHOW FIVE TIMES PLEASE WATCH IT WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE
Watch Infinity Train and BoJack Horseman. Very different but two phenomenal shows
It’s unbelievable how realistic their predictions are….
So after s1 next week s2 and after the finale of gf next week amphibia
I also agree on Amphibia
I can't wait for them to see my favorite character in season 2 this is gonna be so fun.
Holy crap episode 19 made me cry, that hasn't happened when ive been watching something in a LONG time
When you're done with the owl house, you could watch a very good show "Infinity train" or "She-ra"(she-ra and the princesses of power).
A show I think you should check out is Shera and the princesses of power. It’s more of a show that cycles through different types of upbringings and manipulation. Trust me it’s worth watching. In fact most shera fans are owl house fans, shera ended the time owl house begun and fandoms kind of merged into each other. Please check this show out. It’s so good and it all has a deeper meaning.
You guys are gonna love season 2!
Season 2 is just top notch. Can’t wait for you guys to watch it!!!
