Some of you may be wondering whatever happened to my original video? See, people were complaining about my rant towards Raine Whispers and while I thought it was uncalled for, I had to put it in to get my point across. I also had to edit a few stuff out criticizing the fandom and experiment with censorship so that i can monetize these videos in the future. So I hope you enjoy this edit.

Sorry you have to deal with these idiots
Can you make a Animated Series please I want to see if it's good or not
“Harry Potter for Steven Universe Fans” is probably the most accurate description of the TOH fandom I’ve ever heard.
TOH > Harry Potter
@@VigilanteLuluthe bar is quite low
@@VigilanteLulu Harry potter's highs far eclipse anything in the owl house, but in overall quality ; you're probably right.
The problem with owl house is that luz never evolve or reflect on her actions. She is always getting validated and there is a dangerous massage of living in dilusions and not facing reality, it's okay to feel outcast becuase you are different but not to the level where she cuase disaster on the real world and go on to escape from reality. That not a healthy to face life which the show excuse it with "it's okay to be wierd" way to The show make as if the mother didn't have a point but she really have a point to worry about her duaghter mental state of living on fantasy. I find luz noveda to be selfish time to time. She didn't even remember about her mother only at the begining. The relationship for me between them are not that justified and some side character don't have developmenet like gus which he get on only one episode which was overshadow for that dance between luz and amity. Ampibia build side characters way better and gave them propose and there is more at stake than owl house.
Well said, my friend.
Another problem is the plot. It’s like “let’s make errors, then let’s revolve them and then let’s make other ones” in an never-ending cycle or “let’s make thing in a not logical way”
Example are:
-The finale of the first season is caused by Luz. In order to revolve, Eda tries to save her, but she is captured. In order to save Eda, Luz ought to give the portal to the emperor, but she destroys it. At the end, there is a new problem: Eda hasn’t got magic.
-the emperor wants to go to the human world and hasn’t got the key, but the portal...but now I ask myself...are you serious? You could have easily that damn key with the portal when you had Luz in check...
-Amity takes with her the key to the lake...once more:In the name of logic, how can you so naïve or simpleton to take something important with you?
And what happened? Easy answer, she had to give to Hunter, because he talked about Luz...
@@Flap1521 Don''t get me wrong. Anne did have selfish thing but the show most of the time, not always, do not validate her. See Marcy that wanted to stay there and how the consequences of her action end up biting her up in the end. Anne was understandable why she couldn't go back since she needed to find information of a way to go back and made sense she took months to go back and even searching for her friends while being loyal to her new found friends. Her goals was less selfish. Meanwhile luz was not forced, she just followed and enter the portal and even eda gave her the choice to go back but she refused to go back and wanted to become a witch without worrying about her mother and using the camp as an excuse to lie to her mother. two season in and she barely learn much of a spell and eda still haven't taught her basically anything which for me has to be one of the worst teacher and student dynamic I've seen. She once again have the choice to go back to her mother but nope, she still want to avoid reality. The show like to validate luz escapism to fantasy and like i said, that's not healthy way to cope. Maybe that why i don't like isekai anime that much. Anne throughout the series think of her parents and worried what they might thinking. The scene where anne talk about her mother missing her and spring telling that if it was possible to miss someone he never met and they hug each other out in consolation is why i say friendship in ampibia is way better than owl house friendship. Some people say ampibia boring and respectfully i understand since season 1 was a whole thing about made a mistake or lie, learn a lesson or forgive and rinse and repeat but between those you could see their friendship and aspiration and dream and secrets. The last two episode of season 1 of ampibia were way better done than owl house two episode of season 1. However, i simply don't understand why they say that when owl house go so fast without telling much of importance and many character are so undeveloped and arcs are rushed over in season 1 and season 2 improve it but not enough since they still rushed arcs which many of the character development do not feel earned nor their friendship which i simply don't buy it.
@@kyordannydelvalle523 You’re perfectly right.
If I may, between the first and the second season (the third doesn’t finish and I don’t want to express a premature judgment), I really prefer the first because, in those episodes, the time was “realist”, that is, it does seem that 3 months have passed (for example relationship of Anne with the other characters) and, of course, during that time, Anne grew up becoming more mature.
But the second season is a different story: confused and too diluited, even if I acknowledge there are some very good and interesting episodes, but some episodes were completely useless.
I find also interesting seeing the difference between the confrontation of Anne with her parents and Luz with her mother.
Anne, wrongly, was lying, but for good reasons and, for that, I can understand.
Luz, in one way or another, is totally wrong and indefensible. I exaggerate, but I would like to see Luz losing all she has gained in the Boiling Islands and maybe it would be the final check mate for her and she will become more mature at last.
"The problem with owl house is that luz never evolve or reflect on her actions"
Forgetting episodes "Separate tides" and "hunting palisman", where the main conflicts are *exactly* about this, yeah sure
"and there is a dangerous massage of living in dilusions and not facing reality"
"as if the mother didn't have a point but she really have a point to worry about her duaghter mental state of living on fantasy"
This is the point of many episodes where Luz tries to act as Azura and fails miserably. Every time she tries to do something just based on her fantasies of grandeur, she fails miserably. And Yesterday's lie shows what could've been for Luz. With Vee's friends who also were at the camp being completely normal kids, with their own habits
"She didn't even remember about her mother only at the begining"
Cause she had a set plan to return to her mother when camp was over so she had no reason to worry? When she's in the same situation as Anne (where she is stuck in the Boiling Isles) she misses her mother, constantly tries to send messages to her even though it doesn't work and she tries her best to make a portal back to earth
"Ampibia build side characters way better and gave them propose and there is more at stake than owl house"
...No? Not really?
Sprig still does the exact same stuff he did from the beginning of the series. He gets told to not do something, does that thing, learns his lesson and in another episode he does it again. And he still does this, even though it's the final season. I don't care if it's realistic for a kid to cause that trouble, cause it's UNrealistic for the people around him to not get mad at him for constantly doing that.
Hop Pop went from a nice character with depth to a gag character who makes some funny faces/gets hurt in a funny way.
Polly went from a reasonable character who was surprisingly mature to a reckless, violent and careless ball of destruction that needs to be told to calm down. And this is the main cast.
If you're talking about Sasha and Marcy, yeah, duh. Those are the two best written characters of the entire show.
I'm not saying The Owl House did all of this better, i'm saying "Stop trying to One up The Owl House". Most of the people in the comments here and in every video criticizing it will be spamming how Amphibia is a powerhouse of writing and how TOH sucks, which is a confusing one sided competition that i have no idea where or when it started, but i really wish it could just stop
@@pedroian5964 Anne and Luz haven’t got the same situations. In that, the problem is “how they got into”: Anne was “obliged” by Marcy and her naïve egoism, but Luz remained consciously in the name of “Oh it’s time to achieve my dream” or of “I am different and I don’t want to lose my identity or liberty”.
Frankly speaking, Luz cares about her mother and that’s a fact, but I sometimes compare her interest for her mother like “I should come back to her...Oh no. Anyway”.
Paradoxically Luz is more interested to the people in the Boiling Islands than her mother and she knows them since a few time. What a great love for her mother, I presume.
And last thing, about the characters of Amphibia, Hop Hop, Spring and Polly were always so with some exceptions.
To be honest, I prefer that kind of characters than ones in Owl House and, before you can say it, I consider Owl house and Amphibia on the same level for the time being.
I believe that the main issue with the show is just that there's just SO MUCH GOING ON AT ONCE.
The writers seem to favour certain plot threads like Lumity and Eda's curse while just throwing in every over plot thread into single episodes (This is with S2A, this doesn't happen really with S1). The characters are also just not touched on as much as they should to actually be characters. The only characters who actually have something to them are just the main three with some side characters that get barely touched on having personality. It's a bit annoying seeing characters like Willow and Gus just get nothing in S2A, in S1 they had some very slight connections to the plot.
Amity is one of the main characters with no personality and is generally just labelled as 'the lesbian character'. Something weird that's always bugged me is that Amity, Willow and Gus are all collectively removed from any major plot episodes with Amity especially. I originally though it was strange how they forcefully removed Amity from Agony of a witch and Young blood old souls. But then as S2A continued the hexide gang just were never connected to the main plot going on. The only actually PLOT episode that Amity's been in was Eclipse Lake, which I do agree was repetitive with the girlfriend thing.
Lumity itself was a bit too quick, but I'm glad it wasn't a canon at the season finale situation. If Lumity had more time building up Amity as a character before throwing them into a relationship. I feel like when S2B starts it'd be better if Lumity wasn't at all focused on the gay panicking and was more focused on Luz and Amity being independent characters.
I'm glad that King's getting a plot at this point though I think it's a little late it's handled better than plot lines that have been basically ignored. All the plot lines that are kept to one episode should've been teased throughout different episodes like King's (Eg; Raine). That way they'd still have some relevance to what's going on
Vee or Five is a tricky subject because while I'm glad they actually did do the doppelgänger idea it would've been more interesting if they had a motive. The theories for the letters and the shadow faces were so much cooler and more interesting than what actually came out of that episode, though the last scene of the finale was very well done compared to it.
I'm sure that if Disney hadn't cut The Owl House short the end product would be better seeing as it'd give them more time to develop all the plot lines they want to get to. I do like the show and the content that comes from it but I definitely have issues with it. (This is all my opinion and this is being written while on like 2 hours of sleep so if some stuff doesn't make sense it's probably due to that)
I agree with this take. Overall, I think TOH would be a much more high quality show if it was given more time to fully flesh things out and develop the story at a natural pace.
Season 1 wasn’t that good, I was hoping season 2 would succeed where season 1 failed but no
Actually I’m pretty sure that even if Disney didn’t decide to cut the shows budget or the 3rd season short or want to cancel the show it still would’nt improve anything, it would just remain a mess until the very end.
@@theblackswordsman5039 Have you seen Season 2? It has improved a TON!
@@theblackswordsman5039 Yep, Season 1 wasn't good. It was GREAT! And Season 2 makes it even GREATER!
Wait what happened to the original?
People kept complaining about my rant towards raine whispers and other aspects. So I had to do some editing.
@@beemaisterreviews1623 ah oki
The Owl House is a 6 out of 10: So Average, It’s Okay
Okay here’s my true problems with the show
Honestly I don’t care what anyone says but Lumity kinda.. sucks.
Like Luz did not have a crush on amity until that little kiss on the cheek.
Amity back in the first half of season 1 was actually really cool and she actually felt like a somewhat rival to Luz. I didn’t really like that she appeared 2 episodes RIGHT after her debut because I’d rather they focus on something else other then amity. It would of made more sense to do more amity in later. Also do they HAVE to make amity’s character just Luz. It’s just the classic Amy rose with sonic
Second. Why does almost EVERY character have to be friends with Luz in the end. I wish in S1 Episode 7 that Luz and amity’s siblings could of have a little rivalry since she thought them bullying amity was terrible, but NOPE just has to make everyone her friend. Maybe I’m getting some ideas from OS Ben 10 sure But atleast that show knew what it was doing
Why thank you
You are right. Lumity really had its magic when the two were rivals. That talk they had before Luz went to fight gromm is really good. But now, they are just a normal teen couple with no magic at all, they don't any singular interaction.
Both of them doesn't really know that much about each other. The nichname "awesome girlfriend" doesn't really say something about their relation. Luz saying that "Amity is cool, smart," or talking about her colour hair, is something that people say when they don't really know why they have a crush on other people. I always say that even Marcanne from Amphibia already have more development and it is better, as a ship, than Lumity, and that is not even a canon ship.
BYEE Y'ALL ARE SO GOOFY
Goofy for having a opinion? Twitter moment
@@alixtennyson2007 I don't even have Twitter but whatever you say
Honestly this teaches us that just because alex hirsch is involved in something doesn't automatically mean it's gonna be the next Gravity Falls
PREACH
Show's still great though, even if it isn't a Gravity Falls-tier masterpiece.
@@VigilanteLulu And even that's subjective. I've heard a TON of people say they like it just as much, if not more. It's reached GF status for quite a few, it seems
If Disney didn't end the show prematurely then I think the pacing and overall show would have been much better. Why?
Considering it has filler, it wouldn't
I’ve noticed a lot of the poc characters are incredibly underdeveloped in comparison to the white characters, how does Amity, Eda, Hunter, and even Lilith (to some extent) have better character development than Luz, Willow, and Gus. Amity isn’t even part of the main trio yet her development exceeds Willow and Gus by more than it should, plus I’d like to see more of Amity trying to make up for her shitty attitude towards Willow cuz let’s be honest here if Luz hadn’t showed up Amity would not have apologized, hell she probably only did so she could get closer to Luz and the show hasn’t even confronted this notion either, Understanding Willow was basically understanding Amity, Willow has little to no development and only exists for Amity’s character. Don’t even get me started on Gus, they did him so dirty by having his focus episode get overshadowed by Lumity. Should we even talk about how for a “Afro-Latina” Luz has no black features whatsoever? I can see the Latina in her but not the African. Even her development is little, she hasn’t had any major developments or anything compelling about her, the writers give more care to their white characters than their poc one as For a “progressive” show they really do their poc representation so dirty.
Criticism aside one of the only good things in this season was King’s development and lore, Hunter, and Odalia being a milf. I do wanna see an episode of her trying to get rid of Luz for influencing Amity’s rebellion.
''Amity isn’t even part of the main trio yet her development exceeds Willow and Gus by more than it should.''
Call it white favoritism all you want, but I think this is good how it is, because come on... Willow and Gus have just as much personality as my half-broken PC lamp. Oh wait, less, even. At least my lamp looks like it has an eye and looks cute... Shortly, my point is that Amity, who gets more development and screentime, is an infinitely more interesting character than those two blank slates of paper.
@@comicguy416 Becoming more powerful isn't character development, it's power development. Character development comes more from the dissection and reevaluation of ideals. For example, in "Avatar: The Last Airbender", Aang is forced to accept the responsibilities and consequences of a role that he never wanted, Zuko redefines the meaning of honor, Sokka becomes more humble and acknowledges that he might not the great warrior he believes himself to be and Toph accepts that asking for help is not the same as weakness. In "Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts" Wolf learns to care more for others and Kipo learns the harsh realities of survival. Gus and Willow may grow in power, but the show has very few episodes dedicated to exploring their ideals and how they reshape them. They tend to center more around Luz, Amity and Hunter.
@@ThePrincessCH Personally dissagree on Willow and Gus not having development. While yeah, Luz, Amity and Hunter get the most (which I think is kinda nessisary), Willow and Gus' arks are more about gaining confidence in themselves
Willow is bullied for years, so has low self worth and deep resentments, but Luz helps her switch to a course where she's able to thrive, she makes peace with her old bully, but for a while is unable to truely forgive her until half a season in after really seeing her change, which her gradual boost in confidence and power is linked to, and eventually finds a partner who sees and admires her as strong and capable, something even her friend group struggled with. She's definitely not the insecure girl we're introduced to
Meanwhile, while he's definitely more of a comic relief character, Gus has episodes where he self reflects on the status of the magic track he's chosen and episodes examining his tendency to be manipulated by others, something we've seen several times in the series, then is put in a nightmare bubble where he has to confront those fears directly
Overall, they're less developed than the main cast, but they've definitely changed as people. Character development doesn't have to be at the forefront of an episode, it can be done subtly in larger stories
@@allaround33 Hunter seems to be a redundant character, given that they already have a disgraced, high-ranking member in the Emperor's Coven in Lilith and her redemption only lasted for one episode. They could have made Hunter into some sort of magical robot to spy on Luz at Hexside and possibly break her down, and place more emphasis on Lilith's development. Lilith's understanding of Glyphs already surpassed Luz's, since she figured out the Glyph combo and Eda, her supposed teacher, barely mastered the basics. Why not have an episode dedicated to that dynamic?
They could also cut back on the Lumity scenes to focus more on Amity's relationship with Willow or Gus. There is an occuring argument that Amity's character has been reduced to being nothing more than Luz's girlfriend. Amity and Willow used to be friends before Luz, and while Willow acknowledges Amity's efforts to make amends, some scars run deep. They could have an episode where the two are in an advanced class (since Luz is still a beginner when it comes to magic in general) where Willow struggles and Amity excels. Amity offers to help her and while she isn't intentionally trying to belittle Willow she hasn't gotten past the impression that she's a weakling. Willow, on the other hand, wants to prove her wrong but they have been on thin ice for so long that she's not entirely sure on how to proceed. It would be an ideal character growth moment for both of them without making Luz the center of their world. I am aware that Luz is the protagonist, but I was under the impression that the show was meant to showcase that while Luz is different the world doesn't revolve around her.
@@ThePrincessCH I agree with a lot of this (exept for Hunter being made entirely redundant, because for the flaws his character has, his dynamic with Belos is far more personal than with Lilith, and reveals a lot more about Belos as a character and a villain through Hunter's eyes, the "magical robot" thing is a little out there), and perhaps we'd of gotten many episodes like that if if weren't for Disney's poor handling. However, we can sit here and think of alternative stories all we like, but looking at the final product, I enjoy what we have, and, although they had more potential, I just don't see Willow and Gus as poorly developed, because I think their character growth is subtle yet tangible, and they really do feel different by the end than by their introductions
While I didn’t really mind the Raine rant, I do think you made the right decision editing the video.
I'm glad you took the advice you got from the previous edit and edited some stuff out. Still hope your S2B video will go more in depth of the episodes themselves rather than just talking about certain characters. It would definitely give the viewers a more understanding of your point of view on the show. I liked the video just because you went out of your way to change the video a little. Most reviewers wouldn't have done that.
My opinion on this show is negative as well. I disagree with you on king's and hunter's story being interesting. I honestly do not care about any of the characters because of how rushed and unsatisfying everything is to me. We already knew King was adopted my Eda. We already knew he wasn't the king of kings because it played it off as jokes in season 1.
The emotional moments with King wanting his dad just didn't touch me as I would like. The main problem for me with this show is just the dialogue and how the characters tone are lackluster. The show needs a better voice director or even better actors. I honestly can't tell if it's the actors fault, or the main people in charged not doing more repeats of the lines.
Hunter is just a kid that wants approval but it's played off in the most by the note way ever. I liked his first appearance but gosh, he's just kinda pathetic with that episode of him and amity fighting.
thanks for the comment. i appreciate it.

@@comicguy416 might not be the only thing i am gonna get
My personal opinion is that if The Owl House had no LGBTQ+ elements at all and had better world building, better story, better plot, better direction, better writing, better development, character arcs and motivations, more mythological and historical references and sources and many more, then it would be a nice series. Lumity/Huntlow is very overrated, overhyped, boring, forced, rushed, without very strong chemistry, without any use to the story and plot, and very fake and dysfunctional. Lunter has more features in the series and works great in From Enemies to Friends and From Friends to Lovers. This is my opinion and if some people don't like it, fuck off. I don't care what other people think.
Agreed.
@@JRProductions1203 Finally, someone who agrees with me. I'm sick of reading and hearing every stupid excuse that "Dana Terrace worked very hard to represent the LGBTQ+ Community" and other such bullshit.
@@JRProductions1203 If a Series has better story, plot, writing, world-building, characters, more well-written, functional, healthy, natural, normal, heterosexual couples (regardless of personality, character, social class, culture, nation, country, people, race or genre) and other interesting things, then there is no need for the LGBTQ+, MLM, WLW and other such bullshit. What they say "Series is for everyone" is not so much true. Series are not for everyone. Why? Because not everyone will like it. Because if the Series try to please everyone, they will lose their value and meaning. The Series should be addressed only to those who understand their value and meaning. Not to those who like the Series because they represent, promote or advertise them.
@@JRProductions1203 I like normal couples in Series (regardless of personality, character, social class, culture, nation, race or genre) not because they "represent", "promote" or "advertise" me but because they are classic and common. Because our parents, our grandparents and the whole world grew up with them. Not every "progressive" is going to come and destroy the standards we were raised on with their own "standards" like "homosexual romance" and other such bullshit.
@@JRProductions1203 I really like Anime/Manga, Cartoon/Comic and Game Series. But you know what I don't like? Agenda and Propaganda. When I watch a series, I don't care about the agenda or the propaganda. All I care about is, the story, the plot, good direction, good writing, development, motivations and character arcs, the characters themselves, the mysteries, the sources, the references, the lores, the symbolisms, allegories, theories and anything interesting a series or movie has.
Not mention amity inconsistent powers. In lost in language she nearly killed from a monster in children books. Then she's seen with training wand because her spell really weak and now she's the best witch in the show.
She's portrayed as the top student at Hexside, so she's always been great with magic.
@@VigilanteLulu Then, why does she need a training wand?
Unironically enough, my least favorite episodes in this Season are all episodes that involve Amity, and I feel sad saying because she had the potentiality to get proper character arc, to be an enjoyable character, to make the story ding dang better. But nope, they freaking jeopardize the interesting plot lines and shove her sexual orientation down our fucking throats. If this continues in Season 2B, I dunno what to say.

I'm just gonna say this, there are different ways of seeing things, not seeing the big picture results in stuff like this video, completely biased and spiteful. There was more which makes not only season 2 better than season 1, but making The Owl House Disney's best show.
Amphibia is good, but one good finale can't top off 10 really well developed episodes.

I apologize, I started to think after my comment, people have their own thoughts, they shouldn't be swayed by a group of people and it shouldn't be toxic.
Yeah there are the imperfections, but I barely know anyone who has made this type of video about the owl house and I guess that's great.
I praise this show a lot because I enjoy it so much, some people don't enjoy it ex. my family members don't care for it. Not many people agree on something, but I can understand that you don't hate it, you just simply called out the show's flaws. I do see some noticable flaws, but the story and pacing happens due to the show almost ending, even though its just starting.

Yes! Thank God I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way
Me too man. Me too
even as a fan of the show, I'll have to agree. Sometimes when I watch the episode I always find myself dumbfounded or confused with what they're saying
It is sad alot of the plotlines went *"I'm fast as fuck boiii"* But you can't blame them since the number of episodes was decreased greatly all because one executive said "it doesn't fit the brand 🤡" , fudge you dinsney.
Have you seen Arcane yet? I highly recommend it. One of the characters is confirmed to be lesbian but they don’t rub that up your face. She gets a REALLY good character arc that isn’t just romance. Hell, every character in Arcane gets equal spotlight, no overshadowings and all that crap, literally a well written arc for everyone. It truly avoids every issue of The Owl House when it comes to storytelling and LGBT rep.
2:33 Things I think that would greatly improve the show. 1) In the first episode, Luz tries to be friends with the other kids and they make fun of her for being childish and don't want to be around her rather than her scarring all her classmates. They tried to do a be yourself message when she brought snakes to school. I know its a cartoon and nobody got hurt but why undercut the moral of your story like that. 2) Get rid of the Think inside the box camp, 3) Have her go back and forth between earth and the Boiling Isles like Kagome does in Inuyasha. That way she isn't abandoning her mother on earth. 4) Significantly tone down her recklessness. Have her actually listen sometimes when someone tells her not to do something.
Amphibia: Improved in it's second season and make you a fan
Owl House: Still didn't make you a fan after watching it's second season and still focused on getting popular of gay relationship than having a plot
And to see this show is more popular than Amphibia. SMH man
Exactly. It sucks that shows with actual good writing like Amphibia are overshadowed by shows whose fans (and creator) only care about shipping and their precious little lgbt rep
@@softlymeowgical7609 yeah I’m a fan of that show too!
@@softlymeowgical7609 thanks for the suggestions! Haven’t seen several seen of these. I’ve been meaning to watch Infinity Train and Hilda for a while now, so thanks for the reminder lol
@@softlymeowgical7609 All of those shows are 1000 times better than TOH
@@softlymeowgical7609 I like you. You have good taste.
I don't really get some of the criticism you said in this video
Some of the criticism sounds as if this was a whole season ("If they just gave that kid an episode", "Bump and Belos have an ideological fight", "Have Eda find the creator of the curse and then make peace with the owl beast"). It's fine if you were saying what could've been done better in a certain episode, but this is literally asking too much.
Belos might be defied, Hunter might get a "Zuko alone" episode and Eda might find a descendant of the Collector (Moon faced hunter's name) - since i doubt she's even alive - and find it out more about the curse, but it's not gonna happen in the first 10 episodes of the season (specially when Hunter and The Collector JUST got introduced). You talk about pacing while wanting to cram stuff that would need to be very much rushed to happen.
Or even the part of "Many plot lines that are pushed aside almost immediately" is a prime example. Of course they're not going to just resolve every plot line in the *first HALF* of the season.
It would be like criticizing Amphibia by saying "The basement creature is never explained and left at that", "We never get to know the origins of the calamity box" and "The basement creatures just get forgotten with no explanation".
You can definitely judge the season and say YOUR opinion on the show, but you can't just let that affect you judgement
i see.
thank you for your response.
@King Pistachion tf? What other comments?
And still, you do you. I won't enter in an argument about something this subjective
@@pedroian5964 Well you see, your opinion is objectively WRONG!!!
just because it wasn't finished doesn't mean he cannot still criticize what happened. that's like saying you can't criticize a tv show that is airing because it isn't finished, yet look at what was happening when the season 8 game of thrones episodes were airing and after another, people could tell it was going downhill. those people and Mr. @BeeMaister Reviews are allowed to still criticize an incomplete series, with all that has already happened in a half or whatever of the show currently airing
@@eftbro9963 There's no such thing as an objective opinion.
You know if there are any games you like to review, how about Psychonauts? It’s one of my favorite games and I think you should try it out, there are actually 3 games you should take at look, you know if you have the time
y'know i have been thinking of making a video on psychonauts and its sequel. i didnt play rhombus of ruin because i dont have VR.
@@beemaisterreviews1623 I think you should, they have incredible visual storytelling and fun characters.
Fun fact: the owl house could’ve was over at episode 5. When it’s shown that’s the coven signs act as glyphs. So by theory they could use the emporers coven sign as a glyph to do any type of magic.
Could’ve been over*
That’s not a fun fact, that’s a theory lol
@@averagecartoonfan3519 Yes, but a theory with proof nonetheless.
Except Luz can write glyphs on paper that can create spells which is a dumb and contrived plot device
@@theblackswordsman5039 Not necessarily. I mean, by that logic any unique ability a character has is a “dumb and contrived plot device”. I do think it actually makes some sort of sense, and actually gives more insight of the magic in the owl house and how it works. Not necessarily being casted, but commanded.
i blame disney for this... as there was supposed to be mkre seasons but they freaking cancelled them... and now its the whole show is super crampeds and im not just nkt here for it... it feels like the show was slow on season 1, fast on season 2 and now it's just bleh...... you know? like i want lumity feel natural not forced, i want the whole bells plot to be addressed more adn then theres king and edas curse. like TO MUCH TOO LITTLE TIME
Not canceled just cut short
Please add this to the second part of the review, emperor Btchos is even less of a character than he is a villain, SPOILER dude just fucks off and the story just straight up copies gravity falls
How does it copy gravity falls and how is belos less of a character?
@@user-mz9xo3hx1h the hole point of a previeusely sigilled entity that can bend reality and gets freed creating "lameageddon", it was even seen like 2 times in the whole show so it is even worse. And the plan of the "villain" is even insulting calling it a plan, it doesn't achieve anything waiting 400 years to kill only those that live in the isles and still not all of them, he shouldnt even think to go back home beacuse his curse will turn him into a monster anyway. Gotta tell you a litte something, if this dude put the gliphs of petrification under everyone's skin and activated them all at once wouldn't he already won at least 50 years in advance? Hell, if he says he needs to do anything to protect humanity why didn't he destroyed the door in the '600? If one of theese answers will be about time travel that somehow Belos does never use to end the show before it even began i just answer with "its been a good conversation sir"
@@sonoio869 bill cipher and the collector are very different one is a pure evil demon who wants to spread weirdness and chaos throughout the multiverse while the other is an undisciplined child with lots of power also how in the world could put belos petrifaction glyphs on everyone when they work instantly and everyone would notice what he's doing and the reason it took him so many years is probably cause for a long time he lacked the ability to get everyone in one place and about the him becoming a monster thing while it is valid its acknowledged in show by both the collector and luz
@@user-mz9xo3hx1h and the idea of this undishiplinated child that has the same origin as Bill about playing is by altering reality to spread weirdness and chaos to at least one universe. About that gliph thing it could have worked even easyier because there wouldnt need to call everyone in the same place without using people that can teleport at any time in order to make that spell compleately useless *wink wink*, in a world where you can connet in socials anywhere and there is also streaming those detonations signals reaching everyone wouldnt even be a problem. Also petrification is something that no one ever cured from so it is as deadly as the magic succ.
Hope i answered it all if so tell me
@@sonoio869 the collector came from the space and bill came from what he described as a flat dimension
Watch season 3
I like the MoringMark cartoons, but TOH has many plot holes and bad writing oh well.
Am I the only one who thinks Raine comes across as a femboy? Did this character have to be "non-binary"? Am I the only one who's bothered by this!?
You’re not the only one. Raine doesn’t have to be “non-binary” because people can tell the character is a man. An effeminate man but a man nonetheless who happens to be a former lover of Eda. However, I will say he needed a better voice actor and characterization because the series doesn’t utilize Raine to his full potential even if it contributes to an overarching arc that is the Day of Unity. Moreover, it plays into one of the plot holes in The Owl House’s already weak foundation.
SPOILER WARNING EP 12 elsewhere and elsewhen
So apparentely time travel is a thing and for no reason Luz and Lilith are the only people ln the universe to have ever traveled through time because they went searching for some stupid holes in the ground (holes that open at random and for some reason no one ever fell on one of theese by accident).
First question: why did the emperor never searched for those portals to, i don't know, take the door before it got shread into bits or an almost limitless quantity of palismen?
Second: why didn't Luz connect the dots about the only human on the isles being Belos from the fact he never used magic like the others do? was a surpise seeing the villain being revealed as the only human that got on the isles? Not at all
Third: why using the going back in time trope if it was absolutely useless in the first place? They needed informations about the door but apparentely never cared and got home with nothing in return.
Just be prepared, we are going to "Belos planned all Luz did" kind of trope.
@@owenramos5932 some theorized in the first season finale it was Belos clone to attack Luz in order to explain why later he contradictorily wanted to talk to her. And also that he can see the future so it would explain his lack of action in the entire series. The amount of bullshut people have to make up in order to sell hype
@@sonoio869 But remember: "It is just because season 3 was canceled😭😭" XD
@@owenramos5932 they said the same thing even when steven universe future sucked, it got rushed, a SIX SEASON SERIES
@@owenramos5932 about that "twist" where belos planned all of this since the beginning, you are right, man how did you know that... 😐
...Whilst I agreed with some of your negative points (Like the story structure being messy, some side characters like Gus and Willow being completely pointless, dozens of plot holes and inconsistencies, etc.) and politely disagreed with the others (I.e. The show being boring, the jokes being unfunny, *literally every point you had against Amity Blight* and so on...) in the season 1 review (Heck, I myself thought it could have been leagues better than it was), I absolutely need to draw the line at season 2A not being good.
There was not a second of it I didn't feel invested in, from King's story, to everything about Eda and Raine, to Amity standing up to her mother, to all things *gay,* to my personal favorite part of the show, Belos's and Hunter's dynamic and relationship... Everything is so well-made! Yes, there's not much room to breathe in and the show is sometimes so tightly packed it seems like it would collapse in on itself by a touch of a feather, and some characters like Willow and Gus again are still not getting enough attention, but to all that, I'll say: *BLAME THE GOD DAMN RAT!*
On the other hand, you have good and even improved elements, like Hooty still being the most hilarious creature to bless the multiverse and in my opinion the most purely laugh out loud funny comedic sidekick character (But oh, just you wait! He's way more than that) ever created, Amity and Luz are still *gay* as heck (More *gay than they have ever been, even, as their relationship is now cannon) and I love it, the mystery regarding everyone's favorite Brit Philip is absolutely amazing, and the way the journal was eaten by a tape recorder rat just so the characters don't get the full insight on his journey was really smart and so much more! If I listed every single good aspect of The Owl House we'd be here for all eternity, so I won't do that. I am of course fine with everybody's opinion, including yours, but in *my* opinion, TOH, as it stands is an 8.5/10.
(And yes I am completely aware of season 2B's existence, I just wanted to cover 2A and *only* 2A, because news flash: The series is sitll amazing even without it's existence, and it's greatness is only amplified by the fact that it does!)...
(...And whilst I am glad that somebody other than me prefers Amphibia over TOH... Saying that 2A is a 5/10 *25:07* is a straight up letdown)...
*(**15:33* ...Also, what the hell is Schaff doing here? One things for sure, though: He, the guy who rate TOH Season 2 a 9/10, definitely wouldn't be proud of you)...
