I still remember when the Golden Guard revealed his name was Hunter and I just turned to my brother and said, "Of course, he's named Hunter. I bet he cheats at laser tag."
@@user-op8fg3ny3j It's a reference to TheOdd1sOut's laser tag video, where he encounters a group of four people who were cheating at laser tag, and he gave all four of them the fake name "Hunter" because he felt like it was a thing someone named Hunter would do.
Yes! I was worried that Schaffrillas was going to say something homophobic for some reason, Idk why. But then he started talking about how great it was and that made me happy.
One aspect of the Owl House that I think it’s underrated is the magic system and lore. It managed to pull me in a way that I’ve only seen again in the Avatar universe. It’s seriously interesting to see how different people live there and use magic in different ways
I know right! And, with good magic world building, it lets the characters explore more with the magic without confusing the audience. A good story needs good world building.
Compare this to a lot of the isekai anime and it's unfortunate most of them don't feel they have any near as much thought into their mechanics while still being really digestible.
When I saw it at first I thought it was gonna be a filler "for fun" episode with Hooty shenanigans, I felt that a couple times and was also thoroughly impressed each time
@@maximoarana5549 It's more like the owl house doesn't have a big Climax and somthing really dark yet. You know somthing like amphibia season 2 finales or crossroads of destinies when the owl house gets to that point, people's opinion will be folded and changed they really like drama even with that statement if the show is not as dark as you expected doesn't mean it's bad many shows are not dark at all but still very well written.
I agree with this statement All the mcu shows have sucked (except wandavision). Clone wars season 7 is excluded. Mandalorian season 2 isn’t as good as the 1rst. Bad batch was okay, same with monsters at work. As a bonus it’s better than every thing dc has made since Dark Knight and Joker
Honestly i haven't seen either so i cant say which is better outside of the clips I've seen of that episode thats sort of a crossover with gravity falls and the fact that bill cypher is pretty much a demodog in owl house
As someone currently going to art school after working through public school and managing to get a scholarship, I relate to Tylor's position as being stuck unable to follow his passion, but the fact they mix it with the generic 'learn to appreciate the wacky situation' almost makes the show develop in reverse for me. Monsters at Work feels more like a display of Stockholm Syndrome than an appreciation of the Monsters behind the Monsters
Indeed. Val and Fritz are really annoying but Tylor never puts them on their place. In fact, he offends them by accident in the bowling episide and actually apologizes... why? They do suck at bowling!!!! They would have costed Mike a month of servitude and paperwork for Gary. If the series actually ends with Tylor rejecting being a jokester because he loves MIFT i'm going to be mad. You're right, it looks like Stockholme syndrome. Now if Tylor was a Lightning Mqueen type, a character full of himself who needs to learn humillity, that would work. He would be brought down a peg. Instead, he's already an hard-working humble underdog full of dreams who gets put in different annoying/unfair situations, and that's just not funny.
I think that Belos having a face that we get to see before the bound-to-happen-final-confrontation that's in every show ever really cements him as not just a menace, but an actual evil character. It shows his "humane" side, but you still know that this is the bad guy. It shows that there's actually something behind the mask, not just a faceless evil.
TL;DR - Showing his face with a smile and doing it casually makes us feel just as emotionally conflicted as Hunter. I think showing his face so casually (I mean this affectionately, as in they don't make too big a deal out of it) is a pretty good move. He turns and smiles at Hunter, and it sort of gives the audience the same conflict that Hunter has. By showing this genuine-looking smile and giving him some sense of humanity, it makes the audience feel conflicted on whether they still wholeheartedly believe he is a bad person. He's the bad guy, obviously, but is makes you wonder if he is going to get any kind of redemption or hope for him to be better. Given that he's emotionally abusing Hunter, and Hunter now has Luz and the Gang[TM] to run off to, he's probably feeling gaslighted into staying by Belos' side. Just an opinion tho
Ya I'll join in on that shit I liked willow heck my only real problem with season 2 is that willow barely says a thing or even shows up then again I was inclined to think the same thing about gus until season 2 which actually made him better
And that pains me the most about the TOH fandom and the series itself. No one cares about Willow AND Gus despite them being actual characters and It frustrates me of how much they get sidelined, making them feel like props. I really hope that season 2B they'll get better treatment.
IKR?? it's nice to see a gay couple actually get screen time AS the couple, instead of building them up the whole show and only getting their love confession (and maybe a kiss if we're lucky) at the end. *cough* SHE RA
@@HiHi-lt1cb I mean- it's not too fair to pick on shows like She-ra and Steven Universe since them pushing for that is what has let Dana get away with being so blatant in The Owl House, she said it herself that they paved the way.
When Luz was like "I promise!" to her mom I was like "nononononono....FRICK." this isn't gonna end well. After all Dana did say this half of season 2 was...the LIGHTER half. Jesus.
That was a great ending, especially Luz's reaction when she gets back to Eda. I'm curious to see what's going to happen next in the second half of the season.
Hunter got me to fixate incredibly hard on this show. He's so interestingly written and the fact he's going through both physical and emotional abuse is something that a lot of people including me can resonate with. This season has peaked in terms of show writing, it's incredible
A couple things: 1. At first Golden Guard/Hunter's voice pissed me off but they made that a running gag so im okay with it now 2. The Monsters At Work character designs feel uninspired 3. I appreciate that the The Owl House doesn't have a tedious liar revealed plot, just Luz telling the truth 4. It was only a matter of time before they made a Guardians of Ga'Hoole joke
@@quicksilveryt4000 a series of like sixteen really damn good books that got some nice spin-offs (exept for the one with the horses) and a really bad movie
@@adsfornothing3146 The movie is fucking gorgeous to look at but I have to actively try to forget the books whenever I watch it because if don’t I just spend the whole time seething
The best thing about season 2 of The Owl House is that while, yes, the episodes move the plot forward, they also work really well as individual stories with a lot of character growth, like Through The Looking Glass Ruins and Knock Knock Knockin on Hooty's Door.
Probably my favorite type of writing for these story-driven cartoons are ones where characters change and develop but each manages to have its own story in some way, and I definitely get that with TOHS2
It's such a crime that The Owl House is not a Disney Plus original and is stuck airing on cable first because if it came out weekly on D+ it would be HUGE.
25:10 the idea that LGBTQ scholars in the future will cite an episode titled "Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door" is a REVELATION. it is HYSTERICAL and AMAZING and EXACTLY what Hooty deserves. what an icon. what a revelation.
"Nothing will top Avatar..." I mean...do they have to? Owl House can still stand on the same podium as Avatar:TLAB, among other shows too. A fantastic cartoon, is a fantastic cartoon; it shouldn't be a competition, right?
Gonna have to disagree. Competition is necessary. It pushes people to raise standards of what we want from a good cartoon. Sure, the owl house is alright, but people can make a cartoon that's even better. That's why it's necessary to compare it to objectively excellent cartoons like Avatar to see what it did right and what it did wrong in order to make better cartoons. Not saying you have to do that. I'm only explaining why competition is needed.
Eh, it's just an opinion anyways, don't dig much into it. I think it's in my top 5 but certainly not the best, but that's literally just me and what my biases say about me. That's what Patrick feels bout avatar
I feel they were probably given a quicker heads up that they were gonna be canceled than the Star vs. crew received. The episodes are handling it better IMO.
I think TOH team has had a much clearer plan which makes a big difference. There hasnt really been any random twist villians in TOH at all. Even the ones we thought would be villians arent (looking at Vee). Luz hasnt created herself a freaking harem, the plan was very obviously that Luz and Amity would get toghether from the start and they went straight there, they didnt have her join and break up with like 4 people first.
My favorite part of The Hooty episode, was when King tried to dance and Hooty shouted "DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER!!!" I couldn't understand why Hooty was mad, and yet I couldn't help but laugh my head off. 🤣
@@cfrankovich If you haven’t seen the new owl house episode you shouldn’t read the rest of my reply bc of spoilers Basically she was sad for Camila because she was crying when she saw Luz in the headlight.
@@stxrstruck6755 it’s a really relatable mom fear. That your child might decide to leave you someday because the world’s against their spirit but YOU feel like you’re not good enough
@@cfrankovich Its a scene with rain, people crying and it is relate to any mom's fear. The scene is cliche, you don't need to know anything about the series to be sad about it.
Anyone else notice that, recently, everyone talks about the villains from Disney Television Animation's shows rather than the villains from the last few Disney animated films (apart from Tamatoa of course)? It's almost as if the villains on those shows have more time to develop their nastiness and aren't treated as a last minute plot twist. Who would have thought?
Idk, the owl house villains are pretty weak. Belos is not threatening at all, he doesn't do basically anything and you can already tell even he's going to get a redemption ark.
@@matyaskassay4346 to me it looks like he's manipulating the shit out of Hunter and the audience by presenting himself as non-threatening. Have you not seen how he almost stabbed Hunter's eye out and then went all nice on him? At least Amity's mom doesn't hide how abusive she is by manipulating Amity into trusting her.
The Owl House getting cut short while Marvel and Star Wars get milked to death... what a lovely world we live in. So glad that only a handful of franchises are allowed to exist. Who needs new ideas, right?
@@jollyboy3572 yeah. There were some Season 1 episodes I really liked, and some that I thought were kinda eh. I haven't disliked any Season 2 episodes so far.
The Owl House seems way too good to be a Disney property. It is so well made and progressive, it makes me so happy. Although it can’t top Avatar, it’s still fantastic
I love how early the show sets Lumity as cannon. This has been a pet peeve of mine with shows like SheRa and Kipo, since they made cannon that the main or important side characters be lgbtq+ around the end of the show. I would have loved one final episode seeing Adora and Catra be gfs and going on a date. With Lumity, we are gonna get to see an actual relationship at work rather than just a confirmation of it (idk if that makes sense lol). I am just so in love with The Owl House, its gonna be so painful to wait for the hiatus to end.
I can’t believe season 3 got even more shortened. I don’t think I’ve heard a single bad review of this show. By all logic season 3 should be getting extended. This makes me sadder than when spectacular Spider-Man got canceled.
Yes i agree I'm so excited though i can see why shows like she-ra and kipo didnt have it till the end since it would have been hell to have it even allowed to be put it in, I can't imagine how much convincing Dana had to do
Yesterday's Lie is kinda underrated though. It was my favorite episode of the show, and not just because of the scene at the end which is the only thing I see people mentioning about it.
I agree. So is the ''Eclipse Lake'' episode... It had a great adventure story, it focused on two of my favorite characters _(And their battle at the end, which I still consider to be one of the best, most well-animated battles of all time PERIOD),_ developed it's lore more then any other Disney Channel episode ever could _(Except for maybe True Colors from Amphibia)_ yet still keeping a boatload of mysteries yet to be uncovered; and how could we forget: That beautifully sarcastic suicidal scene at the end, where Hunter tries to f**king bury himself alive!
Also, Disney didn’t screw over Owl House because of Lumity, but because they’ve been short-changing a lot of their shows in the third season, like Big Hero 6: The Series and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Kind of a reason why I’m worried for Amphibia season 3.
When SCHAFF was like “everyone thought this was gonna be a filler episode about hooty. fuckimg cretins.” That was literally just me and my gf when we watched Ep 8
If there’s anything consistent about animated Star Wars shows, it’s that season 1 is always high potential with only decent execution, but season 2 always blows season 1 out of the water.
Hunter and Belos' "relationship" is a stark parallel to Eda and Luz. Eda and Luz started out really rocky, but now Luz might as well be a surrogate daughter to Eda. Eda puts Luz's wellbeing and happiness above all over things. They genuinely care about each other. Meanwhile Belos ABSOLUTELY mentally and nearly physically abuses Hunter, and is a manipulative ahole and just....it's great to see villains become more....REAL. Not just TAKE OVER THE WORLD but....real in the sense that people can manipulate you, they can abuse you not just physically but verbally and mentally as well and that is sometimes scarier than someone who just wants power for power's sake or wants to destroy the world...it's important to teach young people that so they can keep an eye out for the signs later in life. I want Hunter to escape Belos and just....I know he's a good bean but he's in a bad way right now....I hope by the end he just says FCK YOU to Belos.
There’s a theory that Hunter is a Belos clone. Belos is one of the brothers that got lost in the Boiling Isles and he wants to Emperor Palpatine himself into Hunter’s body.
@@dingle2987 ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooo I hate and love that at the same time. Like that is the EXACT sort of twisted shiz that Dana would pull cause....I mean look at what she's done so far lol but man I hope not cause Hunter deserves a break lol
Luz and Amity is a revolution in cartoon relationships. Usually it is just one side not being able to talk about their feelings and the other side being completely oblivious to it, in The Owl House, both sides are not being able to talk about their feelings and both sides are oblivious to it. What I am saying is all cartoons should have a Hooty to resolve the relationship cliche, so we can move on.
Oh and the fact that they dont end up girlfriends at the end, they have to keep working on eachother. Just the simple "Why is this so scary" when they got together was so genuine, I really felt that.
As a 16-year-old lesbian, Lumity has made me more excited than I can even begin explain. It is beyond euphoric to finally see good (actually, any) wlw representation in children's media. I honestly never even realized how important representation is for underrepresented groups until I realized who I was and felt alienated and isolated. I'm so glad people are finally overstepping the bs old "hush hush" nature of lgbtq+ relationships. I'm watching the Owl House with my first grade and third grade aged brother and sister and I can't wait for them to get to this part so it can organically and naturally open up the door to a conversation (if they want to have it). I want them to know that being lgbtq+ is normal and natural, but bringing it up out of nowhere feels almost disingenuous. I'm so glad to have this show that I could scream. I finally feel so represented, especially because of the fact that Amity and I both had purple hair when the season came out. I know Lumity is merely a drop in the ocean compared to INSANE amounts of boring straight couples in kids media, but it's a great start, and I can't wait to see where we go from here. ALSO THIS IS A PETITION FOR SCHAFRILLAS TO REVIEW THE NINJAGO TV SHOW
As a fellow 16-year-old lesbian I agree and am so happy that my little sister who's bi still gets to grow up with representation even when I didn't (she even realized she's bi from spop)
I liked your comment because I liked that you found representation but also I really want him to do Ninjago cause it’s criminally underrated recent seasons need to be brought to main attention
I love your comment, and I think all of this also applies to She-Ra and a few other shows I forgot the names of. and yes. Everyone wants the Ninjago, keep slaying sister
i feel the same way about raine being an NB rep and lilith being an ace rep (aro rep as well, but that part doesn't click with me like it would with people who ARE aro) 20 damn years and only 5 characters i can connect with (the other 3 being double trouble and entrapta from spop and dr. brennan from bones)
I really enjoyed season 1 of Bad Batch, but yes I admit they could have done a lot more. I liked it more than I did the first season of Clone Wars, and I think Omega offers a much different kinda vibe/value to Grogu. I love them both but for different reasons. I would've been disappointed if the show was revealed to be a one season story, but since season 2 was announced I've been so happy. Filoni does have a knack for developing underwhelming aspects of earlier seasons into something epic.
Same here! I didn't think that Omega was too similar to Grogu since she's more of an actual character with development and gets to grow to be a part of the group (no hate to Grogu I love him too). With a second season they hopefully get time to develop these characters more and really go in depth with them. Animated star wars shows usually tend to get better as they go along and I'd rather have a weaker start for a show than a weak ending. And the first season was already pretty good to me, but there's room for improvement for sure
I'd rate it a 7/10 if not for the series' biggest flaw. Don't click the read more button if you don't want to hear about a pretty controversial subject. This show is racist and that singlehandedly drops it to a 3/10.
@@galaxystudios370 How in the fuck? You don't even explain your reasoning. Even in the animated series, the clones are based off of Temuera Morrison, who is Maori decent. Idc if this is a bait comment because purposely making yourself look like a dumbass to stir the pot is still making yourself look like a dumbass.
With all the comments about the Owl House, I thought you were saying that the owl house needed to flesh out their characters more and that @NeptuneOW was saying that Hunter(toh) needed to die so that “Echo” could step into a leader position. I thought Echo being that mouse thing that Luz has LOL. 😂
I agree totally. Some of it felt half ass. The animation of course not. It is so hot with the Clone wars character/set design.❤❤ The plot twist were Crosshair took out his chip a long time ago directly contradicts the part where the effect of the chip being increased. Plus I didn't like that Omeega was basically a mouth piece for the audience bc she knows so much about the chips for and says stuff like "it isn't your fault". Also, i don't like that she's a girl, bc they just had to. But this isn't the greatest of my worries.😊 On that note, I really wish the chip only influenced the killing jedi part of order 66 and not their entire character(s). I feel despite being the bad guys they are still clones and hav the capacity to be responsibly polite. Also lots of the episodes, like Infested and their countless side quests that they do for Sid felt like filler. Infested felt more boring and pointless then The Great Divide in Avatar (just in my personal opinion. This isn't objective😊).
Enchanting Grom Fright and Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door are absolute godsends of modern children's cartoon shows. I am so hyped for the rest of The Owl House. This show is incredible on so many levels!
I think what works so well about The Owl House Season 2 being crammed with plot is that Season 1 has already invested us fans. Season 1 already had filler and plot alike to give us more insight into the characters and like them, so Season 2 exploring aspects of them that are also related to the plot is very welcome.
@@heygoat8750 To me owl house brings out the fan boy in me... I love Amphibia because of the characters... the both remind me of gravity falls but yeah I can agree with you on liking amphibia more than toh
The owl house does something that BOTH kids and adults can enjoy, and here's my hot take on what I enjoy: The absolute dissection of magic through reasoning and logic to make leaps in technology, such as using runes, combining runes, or integrating said magic into technology like Emperor Belose's giant rebuilt door which seems to be fueled by palisman blood to activate it. This is what's known as Thamuel Magic: where Magic is dissected, studied, maintained and harnessed through technology that runs off of and relies on said magic: We also know of a dark liquid that cancels out magic as well from the episode "the other lie": it could be a liquid form of titans blood, or more likely an intangible liquid form of corrupted titans blood (Which would be useless to use as it would make the door Luse summoned probably even worse), the key quality of this liquid is it disintegrates magic that tries to activate. Thamuel Magic has always interested me because I work for a science division, and even then I'm astounded by what the show pulls off, every facet of it is dripping with magical logic and reason.
@@not_ateral An thing called Thamuel Magic, which the show explores VERY extensively. Thamuel Magic in the most basic terms is: Combining technology and magic in perfect harmony in order to better the worlds science and harnessing of magic. An perfect example is the put together door emperor belos has "custody" of. Palisman blood seems to be a requirement to jumpstart it... but why? Why palisman blood?
I won't, just telling you that I PERSONALLY like Eda's Requiem, Yesterday's Lie, Hunting Palismen and Echoes of the Past a bit more. But considering Season Two only has one episode that isn't amazing (this of course being through the looking glass ruins), it's not a surprise that opinions vary this much.
@@Lucid_PZPL wha- what is there to not like about Yesterday's Lie? It further established that Luz has one big flaw, the dialog between Luz and Camila at the end is flawless and V is such a cutie. How is that worse than Through the looking glass ruins?
I have never seen the owl house but it really entertained me when the gay relationship was announced and 65 year olds crawled out of their holes to call it child prn. Really fucking funny
@@helenaperez4343 yeah but it's still frustrating. It felt like a way to get a cheap joke when they could have shown King's relative (I hesitate to call him King's dad cuz of the carvings, I feel like the demon we saw was some other relative like an uncle or something)
Wait so if we consider Mike and Sully's backstory in Monsters University, the long and short of their careers is they basically went from the mail room to CEOs. This is the plot line of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".
I feel that the only reason that people think this is because they don't do much with her. Like she has potential for growth they just don't use her like I want to know how/why her plant magic is so powerful
@Mia Pedriana Yeahh I agree with most of that. I think they could’ve used it as an example of mending relationships with people you’ve hurt/fallen out eith. I don’t think they should be besties even if Amity “had reason” to be deemed bully, so imo they could use them as an example of setting boundaries and progressing past old friends
I think James meant that he didn't like Willow since season 1, so her having no presence in this season apparently makes him like it more. Can't say I agree with that assesment, but eh, he gave The Owl House praise so I can't complain.
@@dullicecream if willow doesnt specifically want an apology from amity and doesnt mention wanting one, if the character gives amity the chance to do right by her wrongs without apology, then willow just doesnt need the apology in order for her to feel better about the abuse suffered from amity. although i just wanna see more of willow. shes adorable and needs more screentime that develops her. :3
I'm so glad somebody finally mentioned the waste of echo's character in bad batch, it very saddening that his best moment was "is there an echo in here... yes I'm echo"
Echo's shafting as a character is far from an unpopular opinion. If the team behind the Bad Batch looks at any audience response for the second season, Echo's character is going to be the first complaint they see.
*Say what you want, I freaking love Duncan.* The whole Mysterious Voice scene in the bowling episode had me dying. He's such a horrible and pathetic person but it's so funny.
@Patricio Escamilla Mues did Amity really need to almost lose her library job because of Luz no it didn't need to happen and the show would be fine Amity being hurt by Luz happens a few times in the show but her losing the job made no sense just makes it a cute thing they did together
I agree to an extent. I think getting to actually spend time with them as a couple is actually a lot better than constantly moving closer to being one. You get the same level of attachment but instead of only getting it at the end we're spending the majority of our season with it being a thing.
Holy shit, this is probably my favorite video of yours yet. I haven't even watched The Owl House and hearing the section on it for the second half of the video filled me with so much joy just from the sheer positive energy you both clearly had. Incredible work.
As an Echo fan, every time I see Echo in The Bad Batch, I just shout “ECHO IS JUST THE SCREWDRIVER OF THE GROUP!” Like Echo is literally only useful as a talking screwdriver, heck Tech could just use Echo’s screwdriver hand. I am sad for Echo, they made him a talking screwdriver. (Edit, oh also I stan Raine Whispers, please be okay Raine)
Honestly season works so extremely well because we care so much about these characters because we got to know them and their development and personality in season 1. Anyone who starts season 2 without watching season 1 first will probably like it a lot less. And even then season 1 was amazing in ways that are less obvious, like how Luz became my favourite character and immediately got stamped with ADHD by me in episode 2 (characters I like a lot will get headcanons from me that I feel fit but are still self projection, like I'm autistic but I knew for a fact Luz had ADHD AND I WAS RIGHT). Season 1 got us invested while having story treads that mattered more on a personal level then the bigger picture. This season just raises the emotions and stakes a bit more. Also this will sound dumb because some people say representation doesn't matter that much but it does a lot, especially different kinds of people are represented in one show. Lemme just grab a list of all the great representation this show has: -Luz for being bisexual and just being a good written (And even accurate) 14 year old with undiagnosed adhd (It was confirmed she has ADHD but I don't think it was ever said if it was diagnosed or not and since women don't get diagnosed as often I'm assuming it's not since she wasn't put in therapy to help her). The latter is very important because neurodivergency if it's in shows that don't focus on it follows stereotypes. Also Latina rep -Raine as non binary that isn't a shapeshifter, don't get me wrong shapeshifters are fun but when that's the only enby rep we get it stops being interesting if there's no other non shapeshifter enby characters -Eda as both a queer woman and with her curse that is portrayed as a chronic illness without the message that it needs a cure. I love the episode with Eda's mom because it shows just how annoying those kinds of people can be to deal with since most often a cure is unlikely to happen anytime soon for people with chronic illnesses. Anyone who says Eda's curse isn't a metaphor (honestly it's too direct to even count as one) for a chronic illness either doesn't have anyone to compare it too or don't want to see it that way. (I can and shall go on a rant why it's like a chronic illness if anyone is interested) -Principal bump is in this list because of how they threat him and how his palisman helps him see. Lovely addition to palisman lore and how they're more then just buddies that help you cast magic -Amity for being a lesbian and a bully who did their best to change after apologising and not immediately getting forgiven by willow -Willow's dads -Hunter has a disability since most witches can do magic with their vile sacks but he can't. -and Gus too (I also head canon him as autistic but I don't think if that'll be confirmed or not) Those are the ones one my top of my head, please tell me if I missed anyone. I love this show, it fills all the things I love and more and I could rant for hours but I'm going to keep it at this. I was sucked in by Eda and the horror sequel world, stayed for one of the best main characters ever, everyone's arcs and personality and of course still Eda the queen. Edit: I wanted to mention amity because during season 1 I thought she was really bland cause I've seen her kind of character way too much. I didnt mind her though since she was done with becoming better a lot faster then other characters like her. And then season 2 happened and now I like her, not my favourite but a good character for sure.
Finally got around to watching The Owl House portion of this video as I just finished season 2a (the episodes finally came out on Disney + in the UK) and boy howdy it was a great time. There was no bad episode in the new series imo, so I'm very excited to see where it goes from here. It also confirmed that King and Hooty are the best characters
@@not_ateral I believe in the 80’s and 90’s a lot of anime series got stretched out because they came on par with the manga, and sometimes the manga got delayed, so the people making the anime just made stuff up to fill in while the manga came out. The most notorious example is Dragon Ball z.
When I watched season 1 of the owl house, I thought it was.. okay, not great, as everyone seemed to think, just perfectly okay with fun characters and sometimes funny jokes. Season 2 on the other hand, has been EXCLUSIVELY amazing episodes, it is insane how the writers just decided they wanted to make a masterpiece. Season 2 has quickly become a favorite and it is 100% going down as one of the greats when it’s over.
While I still loved season 1 there’s just something about season 2 that’s magical. Every episode of the first half was great. Like they really put their heart and soul into this season. And I cannot wait for the second half.
Its mostly just because the Disney executives controlled a lot about what happened in season 1, after season 2 the team got much more creative freedom and was able to make the show they wanted to make
I agree, season 1 never got too interesting for me until Understanding Willow, but Season 2 just bombs you with some amazing episodes that is honestly making me think TOH might just be better than Gravity Falls, can't wait for season 2's second half
@@magi-yoshi41 Fun fact: Dana said there was a lot of executive meddling in the first part of season 1. She says it wasn’t until Understanding Willow that she felt like this was the show she really wanted to write. So your feelings make a lot of sense.
Shows you need to review: -The Dragon Prince -Final Space -Tales of Arcadia trilogy -Amphibia -She-ra and The Princesses if Power -Kipo age of wonder beasts
My god The Owl House has been a phenomenal ride thusfar. Everything is just so well done (especially Lumity, they're so good individually but when they pair up its beautiful), it's given me so much joy and made me quite emotional at times, which is really refreshing for me. As someone who's struggled with chronic disease for most of my life, Eda's arc especially hits close to home. Also the freaking Hooty episode got me to change my Discord profile picture for the first time in 4 years. I never change that, and this show hit me so hard that I just had to. I don't really recommend shows to other people because I don't watch a lot of shows, I don't have a lot of knowledge on this kind of thing, and I'm a naturally reserved person, but The Owl House is that good that it made me. This show, for me may only ever be topped by ATLA and the Clone Wars finale arc, and there's still more of it to come. 10/10 show. Thank you for being in my life when I needed you most.
I find it funny how knock knock knocking on hooty’s door on paper sound like the worst idea ever, to tackle three huge plot points at the same time but it does it beautifully
I never disliked Hooty, I did think the mean-spirited jests hurled at him in S1 was a bit excessive. And I definitely thought the tidal wave of hate Lilith recieved after her revelation was 100% maximum no chill lol Lulu and Hootsifer's friendship was my favourite thing in the first few eps of S2A, and when Lilith left I was genuinely shocked, bc what??? Hooty JUST got a friend omg no pls don't do this to him- That being said, I didn't expect much from ep 8 as the summary seemed so filler-y. I'm so glad I was wrong 😆✨ I said it before, and I'll say it again, Hooty is the MVP Also I'm pretty sure we'll get at least ONE ep centered around Willow. Right??
Good to see another person who likes Hooty, I was shocked that he was my favorite character and I hate how everyone treated him in season 1. I’m so glad he found a genuine friend in Lilith
I'm indifferent to Hooty mostly cause I see him as the Zoidberg of Owl House. Meaning I feel like he's the butt of jokes mostly for no reason but then he does stuff that slightly justifies it.
I didn’t like Hooty in season 1. He’s the literal Owl House and was rarely shown protecting it properly. Which is his job. I’m happy they have been making him more useful with a the recent fun episode and his friendship with Lilith. I’m happy he’s not going to go down in history with Ponyhead from Star.
Knock Knock Knocking on Hooty's door made me dab like, 5 times throughout, and mind you, dabbing is the cringiest, most degenerate thing a person could do
I personally didn't like hooty in season 1, Mostly because he seemed like a character who didn't need to be there aside from literally being the owl house. Almost everything he did seemed like a "ha,ha so random" type of thing. He felt more like an obnoxious background element than an actual character. But now I really like him, he has goals, aspirations and a lot more depth was added to his personality. Honestly, I think me hating him in season 1 made his arc have an even bigger pay-off. Because a lot of the complaints I had about him were also the insecurities and problems he had to deal with.
I love Amber from Eda's Requiem. She was in the episode for less than a minute but HOLY SHIT SHE IS CUTE!! All her lines makes me say ' Aw' . Her desing is really nice ( She is a small girl with blue eyes, white hair, bat ears and pink skin) and as a bonus she goes trough the fastest arc in history, at the begining she doesn't like Eda because she joined their group without her premision, but after they sucesfully complete Eda's plan she realises that Eda is cool. Maby she is just background character but in my opinion I think she deserves more Love from fandom
@@yaboimagnus4776 Technically you’re both right; BB Hunter is emotionally and mentally adult-approximate, but is only really about three to six years old, give or take. Fun with clones and ethics!
I think Echo should have been the emotional core of the Bad Batch and have him relate to Omega since they are both new to the Batch and we should have gotten scenes of Crosshair missing his brothers.
I mean, we have gotten the last one once in the episode where Crosshair and his squad kill those civilians. When they return to the barracks, Crosshair looks around the room and at the carved wall
I genuinely hope that when you do a video on Season 2B, you talk about Amity confronting Luz in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and Luz talking about the important personal event in "Reaching Out." Not only are they heavy hitting and good Lumity moments, they also break the normal clichés of what they're about.
"You know The Owl House Season 2A, seeing you being more story driven feels...different" "I know, but I was taught to see every situation as an opportunity, and today I'll show Schaffrillas Productions that *I* am an amazing tv show"
What I really like about Monster's At Work is that they're showing a period of time that got kinda skipped over in the movie. At the end of Monster's Inc there's a small time jump to that ending scene where we see a laugh floor filled up with jokesters, establishing the transition from scare power to laugh power. We needed this little time jump to give us the final scene where Sully sees Boo again but it also doesn't show us any of the struggle that would have come from trying to change the status quo so suddenly. In the first episode we see that many scarers are losing their jobs in this transition, and in a few different episodes they show us that it isn't exactly easy switching to a different power source. It's difficult finding people who want to work as jokesters and there are other power companies still using scare power to compete with Monster's Incorporated. Tylor Tuskman as a character is tied seamlessly into this conflict, since his livelihood was directly impacted by this change. So what we have here is Tylor is trying to balance his new job with his effort to move ahead in spite of the new friends he's making. It's a compelling conflict on paper and I'm hoping they'll flesh the idea out more in the future because they definitely aren't focusing on it as much as they could.
This!!! Thanks for making this elaborate comment it expresses what I think about the show exactly. Also I think it would be cool if they had more serious episodes later on and maybe even have Randall trying to come back from the human world as an antagonist
@Isaiah Stovall I mean the way that can be justified is the fact that they can't produce laugh energy cause they don't have very many funny monsters heck in one episode you see mike is practically carrying the company
@Isaiah Stovall Basically what Nevets said. As powerful as laugh energy is you have to take into account that until recently even Mike and Sulley believed human children were toxic, and many monsters likely still do. Thanks to the large spreading of fear/misinformation there's going to be plenty of skeptics, making it difficult for Monster's Inc to find many monsters that want to put their faith into laugh power this early on. They need to produce larger tangible results first. Basically, it's hard to do anything with it if you don't have enough monsters working to generate it in the first place.
@Isaiah Stovall They're showing that a power company's quota can change depending on environmental factors. In the one episode they're really not generating enough power it's also established there's a heatwave going on. What's not explicitly stated is that they need more power because the entire city is trying to run extra fans and AC units. In most other episodes they're just not meeting requirements because they're understaffed. They really just need to focus more on actual work situations instead of quirky shenanigans.
The fact that every single episode of Season 2 so far keeps giving amazing reveals and great plot development just makes it even MORE enjoyable. This could be driven by the fact that season 3 episodes have been cut down but I’m so used to shows just wasting time. So to see this is SO refreshing.
Controversial statement: I didn’t like Gus in owl house season 1. He was just loud and annoying, and even the detention episode didn’t change that for me. But after the looking glass ruins episode, I liked him way more. They made him an actual person, and toned down his fanboy energy a bit. Even so, I didn’t hate him in season 1. I just think he’s starting to feel like a much more essential part of the show. Also that witch puberty thing was brilliant
Honestly, I think that was one of the few episodes they really did right. They could totally replace filler episodes with episodes like that one that just focus on a character barely related to the bad batch and tell a story through that. It would function the same as a filler episode to space out the series, but still be interesting and not be just Cid missions. I'll admit, I'm slightly biased, though, because I've never seen rebels or the ryloth arc and didn't even know it was a cameo episode until after watching the whole thing.
No it fucking sucked ass and you could have cut it out and replaced it with another generic bounty exposition at the start of the next episode. As if the Bad Batch needs more of those but its better than wasting an entire episode with a side character who is probably not going to show up again while Echo and Tech come out less developed than an arts students life plans.
Snapclapplepop I totally agree! As the season went on, I started to feel bored, and felt dissapointed that they weren’t focusing on other characters like the clone wars did They haven’t really added any depth or character development to the bad batch, and so, there’s nothing new or interesting about them to get us to continue watching. It gets more boring as the series goes on. That’s one of the advantages the clone wars had: it was an anthology show, and could always swap to focusing on something new to keep it interesting
I was up till 3:30 in the morning finishing The Owl House season 1. I finished season 2 (or rather what Disney+ currently has) at 1 pm. I love this show now.
Monsters at work is okay, The Owl House season 2 so far is amazing and The bad Batch is a GREAT SEQUEL SERIES to Star Wars The Clone Wars, something that Rebels never was Lumity for the win.
Echo was really shafted. My man never found out about fives being KILLED for finding out about order 66 and he fought in the battle of kamino and got promoted to an ark trooper for his bravery but when it came to kamino being destroyed he has no reaction. I think he says 1 line in the season finale
This is super disappointing because Echo is the only member of the Bad Batch other than Crosshair who has a fleshed out character, BUT THAT FLESHED OUT CHARACTER ISNT WHAT HE GETS IN THIS SHOW WTF BAD BATCH:
Schaff, thank you so much for posting that original owl house video, if you hadn’t I never would’ve given the show a try, and it has quickly become one of my most absolute favorite shows of all time.

One aspect of the Owl House that I think it’s underrated is the magic system and lore. It managed to pull me in a way that I’ve only seen again in the Avatar universe. It’s seriously interesting to see how different people live there and use magic in different ways
How much attention the cartoon pays to the magical system and lore, so much the fandom takes this attention. I think this is fair.

I agree with this statement
All the mcu shows have sucked (except wandavision). Clone wars season 7 is excluded. Mandalorian season 2 isn’t as good as the 1rst. Bad batch was okay, same with monsters at work. As a bonus it’s better than every thing dc has made since Dark Knight and Joker
Honestly i haven't seen either so i cant say which is better outside of the clips I've seen of that episode thats sort of a crossover with gravity falls and the fact that bill cypher is pretty much a demodog in owl house
Looking back it’s better than every show besides clone wars
As someone currently going to art school after working through public school and managing to get a scholarship, I relate to Tylor's position as being stuck unable to follow his passion, but the fact they mix it with the generic 'learn to appreciate the wacky situation' almost makes the show develop in reverse for me. Monsters at Work feels more like a display of Stockholm Syndrome than an appreciation of the Monsters behind the Monsters
Indeed. Val and Fritz are really annoying but Tylor never puts them on their place. In fact, he offends them by accident in the bowling episide and actually apologizes... why? They do suck at bowling!!!! They would have costed Mike a month of servitude and paperwork for Gary.
If the series actually ends with Tylor rejecting being a jokester because he loves MIFT i'm going to be mad. You're right, it looks like Stockholme syndrome.
Now if Tylor was a Lightning Mqueen type, a character full of himself who needs to learn humillity, that would work. He would be brought down a peg. Instead, he's already an hard-working humble underdog full of dreams who gets put in different annoying/unfair situations, and that's just not funny.
You guys seriously need to stop calling everything Stockholm syndrome.

YEA LOL the moment I saw him in the opening I was like "oh yeah I'm definitely going to like him"
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Hunter the GG
I realize I should prolly clarify that in the original comment-
I still didn't find his character interesting
I think that Belos having a face that we get to see before the bound-to-happen-final-confrontation that's in every show ever really cements him as not just a menace, but an actual evil character. It shows his "humane" side, but you still know that this is the bad guy. It shows that there's actually something behind the mask, not just a faceless evil.
TL;DR - Showing his face with a smile and doing it casually makes us feel just as emotionally conflicted as Hunter.
I think showing his face so casually (I mean this affectionately, as in they don't make too big a deal out of it) is a pretty good move.
He turns and smiles at Hunter, and it sort of gives the audience the same conflict that Hunter has. By showing this genuine-looking smile and giving him some sense of humanity, it makes the audience feel conflicted on whether they still wholeheartedly believe he is a bad person. He's the bad guy, obviously, but is makes you wonder if he is going to get any kind of redemption or hope for him to be better.
Given that he's emotionally abusing Hunter, and Hunter now has Luz and the Gang[TM] to run off to, he's probably feeling gaslighted into staying by Belos' side.
Just an opinion tho
"Willow's barely focused on which is good because she's boring!"
*prepare to fight the horde*
Ya I'll join in on that shit I liked willow heck my only real problem with season 2 is that willow barely says a thing or even shows up then again I was inclined to think the same thing about gus until season 2 which actually made him better
@@NEVETSGILBERT1233 Gus's development that one ep was spectacular but all I could hear were the suffocating screams of Lumity fans

The best thing about season 2 of The Owl House is that while, yes, the episodes move the plot forward, they also work really well as individual stories with a lot of character growth, like Through The Looking Glass Ruins and Knock Knock Knockin on Hooty's Door.
Probably my favorite type of writing for these story-driven cartoons are ones where characters change and develop but each manages to have its own story in some way, and I definitely get that with TOHS2
It's such a crime that The Owl House is not a Disney Plus original and is stuck airing on cable first because if it came out weekly on D+ it would be HUGE.

25:10 the idea that LGBTQ scholars in the future will cite an episode titled "Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door" is a REVELATION. it is HYSTERICAL and AMAZING and EXACTLY what Hooty deserves. what an icon. what a revelation.
"Nothing will top Avatar..." I mean...do they have to? Owl House can still stand on the same podium as Avatar:TLAB, among other shows too. A fantastic cartoon, is a fantastic cartoon; it shouldn't be a competition, right?
Truth
Yep
Gonna have to disagree. Competition is necessary. It pushes people to raise standards of what we want from a good cartoon. Sure, the owl house is alright, but people can make a cartoon that's even better. That's why it's necessary to compare it to objectively excellent cartoons like Avatar to see what it did right and what it did wrong in order to make better cartoons.
Not saying you have to do that. I'm only explaining why competition is needed.
Mae Whitman is the voice of Katara and Amity

When SCHAFF was like “everyone thought this was gonna be a filler episode about hooty. fuckimg cretins.”
That was literally just me and my gf when we watched Ep 8
If there’s anything consistent about animated Star Wars shows, it’s that season 1 is always high potential with only decent execution, but season 2 always blows season 1 out of the water.
Hunter and Belos' "relationship" is a stark parallel to Eda and Luz. Eda and Luz started out really rocky, but now Luz might as well be a surrogate daughter to Eda. Eda puts Luz's wellbeing and happiness above all over things. They genuinely care about each other. Meanwhile Belos ABSOLUTELY mentally and nearly physically abuses Hunter, and is a manipulative ahole and just....it's great to see villains become more....REAL. Not just TAKE OVER THE WORLD but....real in the sense that people can manipulate you, they can abuse you not just physically but verbally and mentally as well and that is sometimes scarier than someone who just wants power for power's sake or wants to destroy the world...it's important to teach young people that so they can keep an eye out for the signs later in life. I want Hunter to escape Belos and just....I know he's a good bean but he's in a bad way right now....I hope by the end he just says FCK YOU to Belos.
Ya that would be super satisfying
I find it interesting that eda never actually calls Luz a daughter, but hunter actually does calls belos uncle
@@awesomegaymer5786 it's interesting in like a really depressing way for sure lol just...I WANNA GIVE HUNTER A FREAKING HUG DANG IT
There’s a theory that Hunter is a Belos clone. Belos is one of the brothers that got lost in the Boiling Isles and he wants to Emperor Palpatine himself into Hunter’s body.
@@dingle2987 ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooo I hate and love that at the same time. Like that is the EXACT sort of twisted shiz that Dana would pull cause....I mean look at what she's done so far lol but man I hope not cause Hunter deserves a break lol
Luz and Amity is a revolution in cartoon relationships.
Usually it is just one side not being able to talk about their feelings and the other side being completely oblivious to it, in The Owl House, both sides are not being able to talk about their feelings and both sides are oblivious to it.
What I am saying is all cartoons should have a Hooty to resolve the relationship cliche, so we can move on.
Only in disney not all of cartoon
Garnet would like to speak with you.
@KrodaStagg to be fair garnet is literally love
Oh and the fact that they dont end up girlfriends at the end, they have to keep working on eachother. Just the simple "Why is this so scary" when they got together was so genuine, I really felt that.
Bad Batch in a nutshell: “The thing I remember about the rise of the Empire is… how quite it was.”
I understand that reference. OG Battlefront fans unite!
As a 16-year-old lesbian, Lumity has made me more excited than I can even begin explain. It is beyond euphoric to finally see good (actually, any) wlw representation in children's media. I honestly never even realized how important representation is for underrepresented groups until I realized who I was and felt alienated and isolated. I'm so glad people are finally overstepping the bs old "hush hush" nature of lgbtq+ relationships. I'm watching the Owl House with my first grade and third grade aged brother and sister and I can't wait for them to get to this part so it can organically and naturally open up the door to a conversation (if they want to have it). I want them to know that being lgbtq+ is normal and natural, but bringing it up out of nowhere feels almost disingenuous. I'm so glad to have this show that I could scream. I finally feel so represented, especially because of the fact that Amity and I both had purple hair when the season came out. I know Lumity is merely a drop in the ocean compared to INSANE amounts of boring straight couples in kids media, but it's a great start, and I can't wait to see where we go from here.
ALSO THIS IS A PETITION FOR SCHAFRILLAS TO REVIEW THE NINJAGO TV SHOW
YES I AGREE 100% WITH ALL OF THIS COMMENT
As a fellow 16-year-old lesbian I agree and am so happy that my little sister who's bi still gets to grow up with representation even when I didn't (she even realized she's bi from spop)
I liked your comment because I liked that you found representation but also I really want him to do Ninjago cause it’s criminally underrated recent seasons need to be brought to main attention
I love your comment, and I think all of this also applies to She-Ra and a few other shows I forgot the names of.
and yes. Everyone wants the Ninjago, keep slaying sister
i feel the same way about raine being an NB rep and lilith being an ace rep (aro rep as well, but that part doesn't click with me like it would with people who ARE aro) 20 damn years and only 5 characters i can connect with (the other 3 being double trouble and entrapta from spop and dr. brennan from bones)
I really enjoyed season 1 of Bad Batch, but yes I admit they could have done a lot more. I liked it more than I did the first season of Clone Wars, and I think Omega offers a much different kinda vibe/value to Grogu. I love them both but for different reasons. I would've been disappointed if the show was revealed to be a one season story, but since season 2 was announced I've been so happy. Filoni does have a knack for developing underwhelming aspects of earlier seasons into something epic.
Same here! I didn't think that Omega was too similar to Grogu since she's more of an actual character with development and gets to grow to be a part of the group (no hate to Grogu I love him too). With a second season they hopefully get time to develop these characters more and really go in depth with them. Animated star wars shows usually tend to get better as they go along and I'd rather have a weaker start for a show than a weak ending. And the first season was already pretty good to me, but there's room for improvement for sure
I rate it a 7/10
I'd rate it a 7/10 if not for the series' biggest flaw.

Idc if this is a bait comment because purposely making yourself look like a dumbass to stir the pot is still making yourself look like a dumbass.
The Bad Batch has a lot of potential, it just needs to flesh out it's characters more for season 2. It also needs a more overarching story arc.
Hunter needs to die so the other characters can step up into a leader position (Echo)
With all the comments about the Owl House, I thought you were saying that the owl house needed to flesh out their characters more and that @NeptuneOW was saying that Hunter(toh) needed to die so that “Echo” could step into a leader position. I thought Echo being that mouse thing that Luz has LOL. 😂
No did missions
I agree totally. Some of it felt half ass.
The animation of course not. It is so hot with the Clone wars character/set design.❤❤
The plot twist were Crosshair took out his chip a long time ago directly contradicts the part where the effect of the chip being increased. Plus I didn't like that Omeega was basically a mouth piece for the audience bc she knows so much about the chips for and says stuff like "it isn't your fault". Also, i don't like that she's a girl, bc they just had to. But this isn't the greatest of my worries.😊
On that note, I really wish the chip only influenced the killing jedi part of order 66 and not their entire character(s). I feel despite being the bad guys they are still clones and hav the capacity to be responsibly polite.
Also lots of the episodes, like Infested and their countless side quests that they do for Sid felt like filler. Infested felt more boring and pointless then The Great Divide in Avatar (just in my personal opinion. This isn't objective😊).
@@marshmallowvampire8503 Holy shit, I never new you could make an episode of a show worse than the great divide.
Happy late birthday Patrick. Rest in peace.
Enchanting Grom Fright and Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door are absolute godsends of modern children's cartoon shows. I am so hyped for the rest of The Owl House. This show is incredible on so many levels!
I think what works so well about The Owl House Season 2 being crammed with plot is that Season 1 has already invested us fans. Season 1 already had filler and plot alike to give us more insight into the characters and like them, so Season 2 exploring aspects of them that are also related to the plot is very welcome.

The owl house does something that BOTH kids and adults can enjoy, and here's my hot take on what I enjoy:
The absolute dissection of magic through reasoning and logic to make leaps in technology, such as using runes, combining runes, or integrating said magic into technology like Emperor Belose's giant rebuilt door which seems to be fueled by palisman blood to activate it. This is what's known as Thamuel Magic: where Magic is dissected, studied, maintained and harnessed through technology that runs off of and relies on said magic: We also know of a dark liquid that cancels out magic as well from the episode "the other lie": it could be a liquid form of titans blood, or more likely an intangible liquid form of corrupted titans blood (Which would be useless to use as it would make the door Luse summoned probably even worse), the key quality of this liquid is it disintegrates magic that tries to activate.
Thamuel Magic has always interested me because I work for a science division, and even then I'm astounded by what the show pulls off, every facet of it is dripping with magical logic and reason.
what
i have no fucking idea what i just read but ok
@@not_ateral An thing called Thamuel Magic, which the show explores VERY extensively. Thamuel Magic in the most basic terms is: Combining technology and magic in perfect harmony in order to better the worlds science and harnessing of magic.
An perfect example is the put together door emperor belos has "custody" of. Palisman blood seems to be a requirement to jumpstart it... but why? Why palisman blood?
@@themadrat1495 Huh. No wonder I have half a braincell.
17:55 I’ve said this before but, Luz and Amity is honestly the only romantic relationship that I have really enjoyed watching.
Knock, knock, knocking on hooty's door is the best episode, change my mind
I won't, just telling you that I PERSONALLY like Eda's Requiem, Yesterday's Lie, Hunting Palismen and Echoes of the Past a bit more. But considering Season Two only has one episode that isn't amazing (this of course being through the looking glass ruins), it's not a surprise that opinions vary this much.
I personally like Eclipse lake and Escaping Expulsion better.
I personally think every episode is better than the last one (in this season, not last season)
I'm just going to predict the future and just say the series finale would be the best episode.
@@Lucid_PZPL wha- what is there to not like about Yesterday's Lie? It further established that Luz has one big flaw, the dialog between Luz and Camila at the end is flawless and V is such a cutie. How is that worse than Through the looking glass ruins?

I agree that Willow has barely been focused on this season but I don’t see that makes her a bad character as a result. Also yes Hooty is bae.
I feel that the only reason that people think this is because they don't do much with her. Like she has potential for growth they just don't use her like I want to know how/why her plant magic is so powerful
@Mia Pedriana Yeahh I agree with most of that. I think they could’ve used it as an example of mending relationships with people you’ve hurt/fallen out eith. I don’t think they should be besties even if Amity “had reason” to be deemed bully, so imo they could use them as an example of setting boundaries and progressing past old friends
I think James meant that he didn't like Willow since season 1, so her having no presence in this season apparently makes him like it more. Can't say I agree with that assesment, but eh, he gave The Owl House praise so I can't complain.
I just really want Amity to apologize to her :')
@@dullicecream if willow doesnt specifically want an apology from amity and doesnt mention wanting one, if the character gives amity the chance to do right by her wrongs without apology, then willow just doesnt need the apology in order for her to feel better about the abuse suffered from amity. although i just wanna see more of willow. shes adorable and needs more screentime that develops her. :3
I'm so glad somebody finally mentioned the waste of echo's character in bad batch, it very saddening that his best moment was "is there an echo in here... yes I'm echo"
Echo's shafting as a character is far from an unpopular opinion. If the team behind the Bad Batch looks at any audience response for the second season, Echo's character is going to be the first complaint they see.

Bad Batch had a better season 1 than Clone Wars and Rebels, but the season as a whole wasn’t that good compared to later Clone Wars’ seasons.

It’s probably because now they’ve learned how to make good season 1’s.
Definitely, even at its worst it was infinitely more bearable than the first season of Rebels
So imagine what BB's final season(s) will be
Yea
Lumity Disney's first gay couple jokes aside it's cute but it needed tweaking in some scenes before they become a couple but it worked out good enough
Yeah I kinda wish the development for the relationship would be built up more thankfully when it comes to dating its gonna take longer
I agree but sadly they had to rush it since the show is ending after season 3. Disney doesn't want Owl House anymore I guess
@Patricio Escamilla Mues did Amity really need to almost lose her library job because of Luz no it didn't need to happen and the show would be fine Amity being hurt by Luz happens a few times in the show but her losing the job made no sense just makes it a cute thing they did together
Awkward teens be like:
I agree to an extent. I think getting to actually spend time with them as a couple is actually a lot better than constantly moving closer to being one. You get the same level of attachment but instead of only getting it at the end we're spending the majority of our season with it being a thing.
Holy shit, this is probably my favorite video of yours yet. I haven't even watched The Owl House and hearing the section on it for the second half of the video filled me with so much joy just from the sheer positive energy you both clearly had. Incredible work.
We have to somehow give Disney a way to calmly tell them
WE WANT SEASON 3 IN ITS FULL ORIGINAL FORM
As an Echo fan, every time I see Echo in The Bad Batch, I just shout “ECHO IS JUST THE SCREWDRIVER OF THE GROUP!” Like Echo is literally only useful as a talking screwdriver, heck Tech could just use Echo’s screwdriver hand. I am sad for Echo, they made him a talking screwdriver.
(Edit, oh also I stan Raine Whispers, please be okay Raine)

Honestly season works so extremely well because we care so much about these characters because we got to know them and their development and personality in season 1. Anyone who starts season 2 without watching season 1 first will probably like it a lot less. And even then season 1 was amazing in ways that are less obvious, like how Luz became my favourite character and immediately got stamped with ADHD by me in episode 2 (characters I like a lot will get headcanons from me that I feel fit but are still self projection, like I'm autistic but I knew for a fact Luz had ADHD AND I WAS RIGHT). Season 1 got us invested while having story treads that mattered more on a personal level then the bigger picture. This season just raises the emotions and stakes a bit more.
Also this will sound dumb because some people say representation doesn't matter that much but it does a lot, especially different kinds of people are represented in one show. Lemme just grab a list of all the great representation this show has:
-Luz for being bisexual and just being a good written (And even accurate) 14 year old with undiagnosed adhd (It was confirmed she has ADHD but I don't think it was ever said if it was diagnosed or not and since women don't get diagnosed as often I'm assuming it's not since she wasn't put in therapy to help her). The latter is very important because neurodivergency if it's in shows that don't focus on it follows stereotypes. Also Latina rep
-Raine as non binary that isn't a shapeshifter, don't get me wrong shapeshifters are fun but when that's the only enby rep we get it stops being interesting if there's no other non shapeshifter enby characters
-Eda as both a queer woman and with her curse that is portrayed as a chronic illness without the message that it needs a cure. I love the episode with Eda's mom because it shows just how annoying those kinds of people can be to deal with since most often a cure is unlikely to happen anytime soon for people with chronic illnesses. Anyone who says Eda's curse isn't a metaphor (honestly it's too direct to even count as one) for a chronic illness either doesn't have anyone to compare it too or don't want to see it that way. (I can and shall go on a rant why it's like a chronic illness if anyone is interested)
-Principal bump is in this list because of how they threat him and how his palisman helps him see. Lovely addition to palisman lore and how they're more then just buddies that help you cast magic
-Amity for being a lesbian and a bully who did their best to change after apologising and not immediately getting forgiven by willow
-Willow's dads
-Hunter has a disability since most witches can do magic with their vile sacks but he can't.
-and Gus too (I also head canon him as autistic but I don't think if that'll be confirmed or not)
Those are the ones one my top of my head, please tell me if I missed anyone. I love this show, it fills all the things I love and more and I could rant for hours but I'm going to keep it at this. I was sucked in by Eda and the horror sequel world, stayed for one of the best main characters ever, everyone's arcs and personality and of course still Eda the queen.
Edit: I wanted to mention amity because during season 1 I thought she was really bland cause I've seen her kind of character way too much. I didnt mind her though since she was done with becoming better a lot faster then other characters like her. And then season 2 happened and now I like her, not my favourite but a good character for sure.
Finally got around to watching The Owl House portion of this video as I just finished season 2a (the episodes finally came out on Disney + in the UK) and boy howdy it was a great time. There was no bad episode in the new series imo, so I'm very excited to see where it goes from here. It also confirmed that King and Hooty are the best characters
The owl house gave us a Naruto+Nine-tailed-fox dynamic with Eda and the Owlbeast WITHOUT needing 800 episodes to get there.
Fun Fact: The majority of anime is stretched to fuck because the writers are stupid.
joke
@@not_ateral
I believe in the 80’s and 90’s a lot of anime series got stretched out because they came on par with the manga, and sometimes the manga got delayed, so the people making the anime just made stuff up to fill in while the manga came out. The most notorious example is Dragon Ball z.
When I watched season 1 of the owl house, I thought it was.. okay, not great, as everyone seemed to think, just perfectly okay with fun characters and sometimes funny jokes.
Season 2 on the other hand, has been EXCLUSIVELY amazing episodes, it is insane how the writers just decided they wanted to make a masterpiece. Season 2 has quickly become a favorite and it is 100% going down as one of the greats when it’s over.
While I still loved season 1 there’s just something about season 2 that’s magical. Every episode of the first half was great. Like they really put their heart and soul into this season. And I cannot wait for the second half.
Its mostly just because the Disney executives controlled a lot about what happened in season 1, after season 2 the team got much more creative freedom and was able to make the show they wanted to make
I agree, season 1 never got too interesting for me until Understanding Willow, but Season 2 just bombs you with some amazing episodes that is honestly making me think TOH might just be better than Gravity Falls, can't wait for season 2's second half
@@magi-yoshi41 Fun fact: Dana said there was a lot of executive meddling in the first part of season 1. She says it wasn’t until Understanding Willow that she felt like this was the show she really wanted to write. So your feelings make a lot of sense.

My god The Owl House has been a phenomenal ride thusfar.
Everything is just so well done (especially Lumity, they're so good individually but when they pair up its beautiful), it's given me so much joy and made me quite emotional at times, which is really refreshing for me. As someone who's struggled with chronic disease for most of my life, Eda's arc especially hits close to home.
Also the freaking Hooty episode got me to change my Discord profile picture for the first time in 4 years. I never change that, and this show hit me so hard that I just had to.
I don't really recommend shows to other people because I don't watch a lot of shows, I don't have a lot of knowledge on this kind of thing, and I'm a naturally reserved person, but The Owl House is that good that it made me.
This show, for me may only ever be topped by ATLA and the Clone Wars finale arc, and there's still more of it to come.
10/10 show. Thank you for being in my life when I needed you most.
I absolutely agree. This show came at a time where I am surrounded personally by death and sickness and stress. I’m so glad I have it
Your argument about how Echos relationship with rex was so true and HILARIOUS!😂😂
I find it funny how knock knock knocking on hooty’s door on paper sound like the worst idea ever, to tackle three huge plot points at the same time but it does it beautifully
I never disliked Hooty, I did think the mean-spirited jests hurled at him in S1 was a bit excessive. And I definitely thought the tidal wave of hate Lilith recieved after her revelation was 100% maximum no chill lol
Lulu and Hootsifer's friendship was my favourite thing in the first few eps of S2A, and when Lilith left I was genuinely shocked, bc what??? Hooty JUST got a friend omg no pls don't do this to him-
That being said, I didn't expect much from ep 8 as the summary seemed so filler-y. I'm so glad I was wrong 😆✨
I said it before, and I'll say it again, Hooty is the MVP
Also I'm pretty sure we'll get at least ONE ep centered around Willow. Right??
Good to see another person who likes Hooty, I was shocked that he was my favorite character and I hate how everyone treated him in season 1. I’m so glad he found a genuine friend in Lilith
I'm indifferent to Hooty mostly cause I see him as the Zoidberg of Owl House. Meaning I feel like he's the butt of jokes mostly for no reason but then he does stuff that slightly justifies it.
I didn’t like Hooty in season 1. He’s the literal Owl House and was rarely shown protecting it properly. Which is his job. I’m happy they have been making him more useful with a the recent fun episode and his friendship with Lilith. I’m happy he’s not going to go down in history with Ponyhead from Star.
Knock Knock Knocking on Hooty's door made me dab like, 5 times throughout, and mind you, dabbing is the cringiest, most degenerate thing a person could do
I personally didn't like hooty in season 1, Mostly because he seemed like a character who didn't need to be there aside from literally being the owl house. Almost everything he did seemed like a "ha,ha so random" type of thing. He felt more like an obnoxious background element than an actual character. But now I really like him, he has goals, aspirations and a lot more depth was added to his personality. Honestly, I think me hating him in season 1 made his arc have an even bigger pay-off. Because a lot of the complaints I had about him were also the insecurities and problems he had to deal with.
I love Amber from Eda's Requiem. She was in the episode for less than a minute but HOLY SHIT SHE IS CUTE!! All her lines makes me say ' Aw' . Her desing is really nice ( She is a small girl with blue eyes, white hair, bat ears and pink skin) and as a bonus she goes trough the fastest arc in history, at the begining she doesn't like Eda because she joined their group without her premision, but after they sucesfully complete Eda's plan she realises that Eda is cool. Maby she is just background character but in my opinion I think she deserves more Love from fandom

I genuinely hope that when you do a video on Season 2B, you talk about Amity confronting Luz in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and Luz talking about the important personal event in "Reaching Out." Not only are they heavy hitting and good Lumity moments, they also break the normal clichés of what they're about.

What I really like about Monster's At Work is that they're showing a period of time that got kinda skipped over in the movie.
At the end of Monster's Inc there's a small time jump to that ending scene where we see a laugh floor filled up with jokesters, establishing the transition from scare power to laugh power. We needed this little time jump to give us the final scene where Sully sees Boo again but it also doesn't show us any of the struggle that would have come from trying to change the status quo so suddenly.
In the first episode we see that many scarers are losing their jobs in this transition, and in a few different episodes they show us that it isn't exactly easy switching to a different power source. It's difficult finding people who want to work as jokesters and there are other power companies still using scare power to compete with Monster's Incorporated.
Tylor Tuskman as a character is tied seamlessly into this conflict, since his livelihood was directly impacted by this change. So what we have here is Tylor is trying to balance his new job with his effort to move ahead in spite of the new friends he's making. It's a compelling conflict on paper and I'm hoping they'll flesh the idea out more in the future because they definitely aren't focusing on it as much as they could.
This!!! Thanks for making this elaborate comment it expresses what I think about the show exactly. Also I think it would be cool if they had more serious episodes later on and maybe even have Randall trying to come back from the human world as an antagonist
@Isaiah Stovall I mean the way that can be justified is the fact that they can't produce laugh energy cause they don't have very many funny monsters heck in one episode you see mike is practically carrying the company
@Isaiah Stovall
Basically what Nevets said. As powerful as laugh energy is you have to take into account that until recently even Mike and Sulley believed human children were toxic, and many monsters likely still do. Thanks to the large spreading of fear/misinformation there's going to be plenty of skeptics, making it difficult for Monster's Inc to find many monsters that want to put their faith into laugh power this early on. They need to produce larger tangible results first.
Basically, it's hard to do anything with it if you don't have enough monsters working to generate it in the first place.

No problem brother

They're showing that a power company's quota can change depending on environmental factors. In the one episode they're really not generating enough power it's also established there's a heatwave going on. What's not explicitly stated is that they need more power because the entire city is trying to run extra fans and AC units.
In most other episodes they're just not meeting requirements because they're understaffed.
They really just need to focus more on actual work situations instead of quirky shenanigans.
The fact that every single episode of Season 2 so far keeps giving amazing reveals and great plot development just makes it even MORE enjoyable. This could be driven by the fact that season 3 episodes have been cut down but I’m so used to shows just wasting time. So to see this is SO refreshing.
Cant wait for the eventual review of the rest of The Owl House Season 2! Hollow Mind was crazy
Yea the segment where they talk about Hunter hits SO MUCH HARDER after watching that traumatizing episode
Controversial statement: I didn’t like Gus in owl house season 1. He was just loud and annoying, and even the detention episode didn’t change that for me. But after the looking glass ruins episode, I liked him way more. They made him an actual person, and toned down his fanboy energy a bit. Even so, I didn’t hate him in season 1. I just think he’s starting to feel like a much more essential part of the show.
Also that witch puberty thing was brilliant
Yeah, I get that Gus could be a bit much in Season 1, but he is a lot more interesting than Willow I have to admit.
Gus wasn’t even a character in the first season
@@Robtop-ml4sv Yes he was???
@@Robtop-ml4sv Excuse me?
@@trivialjester43 barely. he mainly was there to fit the role of a friend
Hooty is love, Hooty is life.
i can't stop being obsessed with the owl house
"Do we really need a whole episode dedicated to young Hera that the bad batch barely appears in"
Yes, yes we did.
Honestly, I think that was one of the few episodes they really did right. They could totally replace filler episodes with episodes like that one that just focus on a character barely related to the bad batch and tell a story through that. It would function the same as a filler episode to space out the series, but still be interesting and not be just Cid missions. I'll admit, I'm slightly biased, though, because I've never seen rebels or the ryloth arc and didn't even know it was a cameo episode until after watching the whole thing.
We also got to see Chopper, which is a good enough excuse for me.
No it fucking sucked ass and you could have cut it out and replaced it with another generic bounty exposition at the start of the next episode. As if the Bad Batch needs more of those but its better than wasting an entire episode with a side character who is probably not going to show up again while Echo and Tech come out less developed than an arts students life plans.

I totally agree!
As the season went on, I started to feel bored, and felt dissapointed that they weren’t focusing on other characters like the clone wars did
They haven’t really added any depth or character development to the bad batch, and so, there’s nothing new or interesting about them to get us to continue watching. It gets more boring as the series goes on. That’s one of the advantages the clone wars had: it was an anthology show, and could always swap to focusing on something new to keep it interesting
The second best episode in my opinion
The first best is the very first episode just because of the first few scenes (any scene before omega talked)
I was up till 3:30 in the morning finishing The Owl House season 1. I finished season 2 (or rather what Disney+ currently has) at 1 pm. I love this show now.
Monsters at work is okay, The Owl House season 2 so far is amazing and The bad Batch is a GREAT SEQUEL SERIES to Star Wars The Clone Wars, something that Rebels never was
Lumity for the win.
The Owl House season 2 is the most fun I’ve had with a show in a while, I just…I just fucking love it so far
Same. Haven’t been this into a show since Gravity Falls
@@penne4107 Same tbh
Patrick’s opinion and love of The Owl House is exactly the same as mine and it makes me so happy
I’m here after hearing about Patrick and Chris’ accident. It really hurts listening to their voices now
Seeing Owl House get so much praise makes my heart happy 🥰 It deserves all the love!!!
Echo was really shafted. My man never found out about fives being KILLED for finding out about order 66 and he fought in the battle of kamino and got promoted to an ark trooper for his bravery but when it came to kamino being destroyed he has no reaction. I think he says 1 line in the season finale
This is super disappointing because Echo is the only member of the Bad Batch other than Crosshair who has a fleshed out character, BUT THAT FLESHED OUT CHARACTER ISNT WHAT HE GETS IN THIS SHOW WTF BAD BATCH:
Schaff, thank you so much for posting that original owl house video, if you hadn’t I never would’ve given the show a try, and it has quickly become one of my most absolute favorite shows of all time.
"Why doesn't Echo interact more with Rex?"
I think Filoni heard you lol
Dave ain't no savior to Star Wars apparently.
