Before you comment; Yes, I know there's a longer version of that "Blood is thicker than water," quote, wait literally five minutes, I'm doin a thing with it.
If you want to see a show that actually had GREAT LGBT rep, look at Loud House. Sure, its fandom has a history of...strangeness that near equal to that of Owl House and maybe it might not be as popular. But still; when it comes to LGBTQ+ rep, the show never shies away from it
It's refreshing to see a cartoon not be afraid of the gay. Edit: Gee people are still replying? Everyone else has already made points in the replies! Look at the number! You don't need to continue making points in the replies! Leave my notifications alone!
as a 19 year old lesbian (god i cant even say that word without it feeling bad or wrong, but anyways), it's so great to see a character like amity who i can relate to so much. even though the damage has already been dealt to me (homophobic parents, comphet, etc) and it's going to take me to take me a long time to get over my internalized homophobia, i still find so much comfort in amity's characterization and how she acts towards luz. thanks for this video! ♡
Don’t let anyone get you down, ever. If you’re lesbian, that’s ok. Be happy with who you are and stick close to those who care for you and understand you. I don’t know how you should get your parents to understand, but I’m sure you can figure it out. Hope you’re doing ok.
i love the line amity says to willow, “You weren’t too weak to be my friend, i was to weak to be yours”. i find that line so meaningful and the delivery in that episode is so well done.
56:00 Actually they did show that lesson but in a different way. When Eda tells Luz about cheating Luz says that if you cheat you can't know if you are good or not. When Eda won not only was she happy because she won but also that she did it without cheating. It was a proof that she is still good even with the curse aging her faster. Which is something that eda shows she struggles with in episode 11 when she tries to get the flower of eternal youth just to proof that she isn't too old.
Oh, neat. I like subtle lessons like that, not overt "Don't cheat cuz bad" morals. Actually seeing how good Eda feels not cheating for probably the first time in her Grudgby playing days is much more meaningful.
The fascism of the Emperor is actually a lot deeper and more accurate than most depictions of fascism, as most who write don't have a firm grasp of its political ideology. Key factors that separate fascism from every other totalitarian state is rife throughout Belos' Empire. The worship of the state and the idea that the everyman is a hero of it as evidenced by the existence, propagation, and the hype surrounding the Emperor's coven within the Isles' society, that "you too" can become a member of this prestigious faction of the government's greatest 'heroes'. The rejection of modern ideology, of the wild witches, and the old traditions while imposing new traditions in the form of the Coven System, all the while acting like the old ones were never traditions to begin with and that the new ones were always a part of their culture. Whereas a(n oppressive) communist regime will completely reject the sense of tradition of its people, erasing their individuality save for a select few, a fascist regime will embrace and subsequently abuse the sense of tradition of its people, and use their want for individuality and aspirations for greatness to suit them to its needs. The Coven System itself is a shockingly effective method of accomplishing every ounce of this. By labelling it as the norm, it is seen as traditional, by segregating the different types of magic it hides behind a mask of individuality, and by putting a single Coven above all of the others it gives the people a chance to excel, but only in the name of the state, and does all of this while being an effective method to control the most dangerous thing to Belos' rule: Other Witches. I absolutely love this show. It's not often that you find something so intricately crafted and laid out. This is just one of many examples where the harder you look at this show the more sense it makes, as opposed to unraveling at the seams like many works of fiction do.
And my favorite part is how casual it is? Like it’s integrated very naturally so you totally understand why the casual citizen of this empire would fall for it.
@@turner15 I really like that because that's how it always is. To everyone living inside a fascist or otherwise totalitarian system it's, it's just the system they're living in. There isn't anything else. The Coven system is just a part of life to the witches of the Boiling Isles, and nearly everyone living there believes it to be a good thing, thanks to the Emperor's erasure of history and propaganda. This is the same psychological perspective through which the citizens and the soldiers of Nazi Germany, North Korea, the USSR, and many, many more totalitarian states saw or still see the world around them. What I find especially compelling, though, as I said in my comment, is that the Owl House understands what makes Fascism uniquely horrifying. Fascism makes you _like_ it and think that it's good for you. It offers promises of things like community that you're already entitled to without the tax of your individuality, and pretends that it itself is a gateway towards individuality. Even Luz's friends, who are genuinely good people, believe that the Covens are a _good thing_ because that's what the Emperor wants them to think.
I used to be the "stop shoving gay representation diwn our throats" guy. Then I realised I was so deep in the closet, I was having tea with Aslan. The real gay was me all along.
One my favorite parts of the owl house is that they treat luz and amity's relationship as NORMAL. They dont mention that they are bi or lesbian, because they don't care. The relationship is treated as any other. A lot of other LGBTQ+ relationships are specifically pointed out or emphasized to make s point. It's nice subversion of expectations.
I also like that it isn't actually a primary focus of the show - like, it's just a thing that is. Not some big series-ending reward for the heroes, not the singular defining trait of the characters, it's just a piece of character development.
okey my first language is spanish I grow up with everyone one around me talking spanish I've known that luz is light for all my life and I still didn't get the light glyph
I actually started crying when you started talking about the representation. I’m bi and I rarely ever get any characters I can relate to in that way. It’s really refreshing to be represented. I hope we can get more representation in the future from this show and more.
Dana: can we put in faires that want to eat your skin? Disney: yeah sounds good. Dana: okay how about next we put in a horrifying octopus thing who manipulates and gaslights the main character. Disney: I don't see why not Dana: okay next we introduce a lesbian character who is the love interest for the bisexual main character? Disney: Ha! No.
The Owl House shows another feature of fascism: the power of the wealthy in fascist societies. The Blights are shown to be powerful enough to be able to prevent Willow from attending Hexside.
"Look at the woosh and the circles and the bouncy and they didn't have to and OMG THIS EPISODE and CAN YOU LOOK AT THAT" Now THIS is the kind of review I want to hear for an animated show. It's not even a joke, like you might not know the animation terms but I can feel the enthusiasm and appreciate it even more than I did the first time I watched it. However, I gotta say I disagree that King and Eda didn't consider themselves family before Luz appeared. Eda does treat King like her kid, taking him to the park so he can play with other kids, giving him toys (so he can form his evil army), obviously feeding him, keeping him on her house and going so far as to indulge him on his little fantasy of having a crown that contains all his evil power just because it makes him happy. All of that screams mom behaviour independent of Luz's involvement. The thing that Luz did changed was that now they are more openly affectionate with each other, but there was already a strong bond between the two of them.
but king works for Eda, so Eda gets benefited from king through chores, its ether the or king paying rent, Eda only treates king as a kid because, HES SO SMALL AND ADORABLE
My wife and I loved this show. We've watched it 3 times. She dressed as Edalyn for Halloween and I made a Hooty puppet to hand out candy with (he barfed up candy on trick or treaters as I stuck him out a crack in the door to be COVID safe) The Owl House is the only good isekai. You can't change my mind.
I dunno; I liked Kid in Aladdin's Palace. Digimon Tamers is a classic. Pokémon Rescue Team was pretty fun. Never Ending Story, the book, is a classic. I feel like I should mention Narnia, even I didn't really care for them.
Tbh i watched this like halfway through before actually realizing how long ive been watching this. Thats why i like vids like this because they immerse you into something long yet it doesnt feel like it.
as a 19 year old lesbian this show is absolutely fantastic, no stigma around differing sexualities at all, its just treated like its the most normal thing in the boiling isles, which, well, it is, i dont like it when shows try to be inclusive and make a huge deal about two characters being queer and instead it ends up feeling like a cry for attention rather than just a normal thing. This show just casually shows that a character has two dads with no big announcement or flair, like how you should do it. Dont treat queer characters as something special, treat them how you would treat any other character, which this show does perfectly.

You know, with some of the themes you mentioned in this, the one that caught my attention the most is "These witches be gay"... I'm kidding, it's the "found families" trope which reminded me of a brilliant anime I watched a while ago (multiple times, I might add) called "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" aka "Kobayashi san chi no Maid Dragon". It deals with the found family trope among other things, it's also a show about gay dragons... So yeah, I don't wanna spoil anything but people should seriously watch it. It has beautiful animation, very likable and relatable characters (mostly), well developed relationships, unexpectedly deep conversations about... things and just such a wholesome vibe.
I really hope cartoons can normalize gay men, the most people get is the fathers of a side character. I only know one show where a side character is gay, and that’s KIPO... It’s refreshing, to see A lot of shows have lesbian relationships but very few have gay relationships :( I asked my brother if he was more comfortable with lesbian couple or a gay couple, he said he likes lesbian couples but he isn’t comfortable with gay couples.
Film Freak, our friend and I talk about this a bit in a podcast ep that's gonna drop soon (and FF's gonna promote it on his channel here so be sure to like subscribe ring that bell). Essentially we figure it's because gay relationships are seen as inherently sexual while at the same time lesbians appeal to horny hetero men so.... hypocritical bullshit basically lol. Much love for Benson/Troy and may they pave the way for soft mlm in cartoons forever amen
I'd be more happy if gay male characters were written more competently instead of the stereotypical "I'm so fabulous." trope they typically get stuck in.
@@Drums_of_Liberation super valid. the very minimal rep mlm is finally getting in cartoons (Dragon Prince, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) has been good about that so far. hopefully that's the start of a good trend!
@@bexdeekay1272 that's good to hear. It just irks me that for all the talk of equal representation it's only the lesbian or female bi couples that get portrayed with the proper respect while gay male relationships are still treated as outdated overflamboyant caricatures.
Eh, it’s still true that cis gay men are most represented overall if you count other kinds of media; I didn’t find a single sff novel growing up that had positive portrayals of gay girls in relationships, though I read several with gay boys in them that I liked. And sapphic representation in cartoons is still really lacking compared to straight representation-half a dozen shows is objectively not a lot, lol! And all of those shows’ creators had to fight the networks to be allowed to portray what they wanted to portray. I would also LOVE to see more gay men in cartoons, without a doubt! But we’re still living in a homophobic society, and no one is privileged just for having a few more scraps, you feel? We’re in this together.
am I about to watch an one hour, ten minute and 1 second video about how a show is great even thought I already know why and how great it is? yes yes I will
29:06 as someone that doesn't particularly like lgbtq rappresentation in media (not because gays=Satan but because it's often left unexplored due to censorship), I really like the relationship between Luz and Amity. It feels very natural and not too forced, making it even a major point in the character arc of Amity herself. So good job to the owl crew, they accomplished what many other show could never do
I don't like representation in media mainly because it's the "Corporate Approved" form of it, Owl House dies feels so natural and realistic that you can tell the creators and writers care about what they're making
“Not too forced” I’m a bit curious what you mean by that. What would you change for it to not be so forced? And I do agree, I love how the characters are characters first with their unique identities being integral to who they are without being distracting. They are a person first and foremost, with flaws and goals, and I love it. Very hard to find.
I love how edas curse can be compared to mental illness. especially with her line "noone likes having a curse but if you take the right steps its managable."
I believe in Japan they refer to the animation style that this show has as 'Sakuga' which is absolutely amazing and requires a hell of a lot of time and effort because each scene in that has a large number of gorgeously and intricately drawn frames which give that seamless flowing look. I hope the animators on this show got compensated appropriately because this show's animation is just outstanding. *Thinking of Eda v Lilith and the grom dance sequence* Which kinda reminds me of the one thing I found lacking in She-ra. If only that show had animation like this, it would be perfect! *A bit of a spoiler alert for the following ramblings* Also, dwelling on just the representation thing (which a lot of videos are doing) in this show does a disservice to it in my opinion because it has a lot of other things going for it too. A menacing and mysterious villain, Eda (everything about her is just fantastic), Lilith and her questionable decisions, etc. I found the relationship dynamic between Eda and Luz especially intriguing. It feels really well portrayed and seems like the core of the show for me so far. That can change and I hope they do something similar with Lumity because Amity gushing over Luz is just all kinds of adorable. I do feel like there are still negatives to this show because after the first couple of episodes, there didn't seem to be any direction the show was moving towards. It kinda got mediocre for me, not a waste of time but just kinda meandering while still being entertaining enough to watch. King got a bit unbearable at times as well.
sorry, i know I’m seven months late to the party but I strongly recommend giving season 2 another try. There’s been some good character development so far, and most importantly King actually got purpose and character development that makes him way more tolerable imo.
M'kay. I'm afraid I'll have to be controversial here, by saying that Pacifica didn't need or -HECK- even deserve a character arc. I mean, even Alex Hirsch himself has said that he wanted Pacifica to stay a bully, just a tiny bit less of one after 'The North-West Manor' episode. He said something along the lines of wanting an antagonist who ISN'T the villain. Sure, we all had that moment where we thought romance was afoot between Dipper & Pacifica, but Hirsch didn't like the cliché so he scrapped it, sorely disappointing many viewers, but still leaving content for gags and troubles (like Pacifica not wanting to put on Mabel's apocalypse sweater). TL;DR: Pacifica was never *meant* to have a character arc, a fact validated by the creator of Gravity Falls himself.
If anyone's curious there's a podcast called something like Gravity Falls: Behind the Scences where Alex comes on with various writers and voice actors and gives commentary for each episode revealing basically everything about the making of them.
the fact the owl house was able create such a relatable character and i wish the owl house was there when i was a little younger cause i would have been able to feel excepted earlier
I randomly got suggested a Lumity fan compilation on UA-cam, and it really made me want to watch this show I have now watched it all, and can't wait for season 2
I love it when creators notice and take a moment to appreciate animation in any animated show/movie, whether it's a children's cartoon or not. When creators do this, they are not only seeing the animation for its worth, but also noticing the animators who work on these projects and thanking them for their hard work.
1:03:05 “wow you listened to me talk for over an hour, you have the patience of a saint my friend” No my good man, you simply have enjoyable content :D
What??? I genuinely thought this video had so many more views until I saw the comments about it. This is such a good breakdown, very well formatted and high quality! The owl house is honestly one of my longest specific hyperfixes to date, I genuinely love this show so much. Im looking forward to season 2 so much,,
This was an amazing breakdown! I've been enjoying the show since it came out and it's my longest (specific) hyperfixation to this date and I wanted to see what others liked about it. The fascism elements were never my focus in comparison to the comedy, relationships and found family trope, but the way you explained it really got me thinking. You've put an unimaginable amount of effort into this video and I'll stick around to see what else you'll get up to :)
Wow, I was so busy with my homework that I had to keep this video in a separate tab in Microsoft Edge and when I was done I would watch it ... And I think this hour was absolutely better than my 6 hours doing homework. . Thanks for this video, I actually saw it until to the "first gay Disney character" part lol PS: I'm from Venezuela :p
wah thank you for the great great video on my new favorite cartoon, I'm watching it with my younger siblings and we absolutely adore it, I really am thankful for cartoons like these, they give me a certain hope and love that feels so soft and warm
We hear that season 2 gets block for what Disney considers "incorporate" EVERYONE: GIVE IS THE DAM RELATIONSHIP EVEN IF ANOTHER CHARACTERS, *YOU WILL GIVE US IT*
God, that red flag portion had no right to make me laugh like that... I actually had to go find a video of that scene from the game so I could watch it a few times over.
I loved this, and also hello from a fellow old person who thought she'd grow out of watching cartoons...and is now watching them at 32 with zero regard for the intended demographic.
This show hits so close to home for so many reasons. I have ADHD, Luz has ADHD. I’m Bi, Luz is Bi. I am pretty sure I have autism, Amity can easily be read as autistic. So many of my experiences have been reflected in this show, and it isn’t even done yet. It also got me thinking that getting a girlfriend isn’t totally far fetched/that I’m capable and worthy of having a partner. Which is something that I kind of subconsciously gave up on. This show makes me feel seen, heard, and loved in a way I can’t truly explain. I know it has flaws, but oh my god, I absolutely adore this show.
All I wanna say is your explanation is so clear and brilliant that even the 16 yrs old me understands it (except the politics part ofc). It's so long but even though it takes an hour I can't help but watch the whole thing because it's so good so is your narrative talking. I love the LGBTQ as well but even though I myself is part of it I'm more relate to Luz's struggle with family and society more. And also I'm a fangirl of Luz and Amity, it's so cute. Me and my bae always gay panic because of them being cute.
I just like the show because Luz goes in with OUR expectations of a perfect fantasy world like Harry Potter, and we un-learn those with her. Also i'm a sucker for Lumity AND found family and I just love the whole cast, but especially the main three. It's such a good show, and while having dark themes, it's still has this light-hearted vibe and is super comforting for me personally, AND the animation IS SO GOOD. I also like that it's slow-paced and takes time to develop conflicts and characters over time while creating some every-day life for it's characters. I just, can't wait for Season 2
"Anyway, back to the gay " I have not done a literal spit take in a long time. Congratulations, youve brought my "days without a spit take," to ZERO, you magnificent bastard
Something that really made owl house special was the dark and demonic tone they put in this world, its not a "magical world of fantay", its a REALM OD BLOOD-SUCKING DEMONS and that cracks me up. Seeing all these nightmarish imagery being put under a more comedic and cartoonish light, almost as if they got the team behind Bayonetta or Darksiders to do the art direction on Gravity Falls's animation team (the school bell always cracks me up), and the characters recognize they are all demonic and creepy . almost like Addams Family with a ton of sass. As for Bellus, he CAN be redeemed if he is a puppet of the titan, as if the aforementioned titan wants to get back to life and thats the unity, to, I don't know, sap the magic of all witches to bring the titan back to life, and Bellus is just a puppet either completely mind-controlled or just too scared to defy the titan because it either means his harm, or in a more noble effort, the harm of everyone else that would come if the titan is contradicted.
“First Impressions are mostly wrong” ( Idk I forgot what it was ) Me who’s friend’s first impression of me was too quiet and is very loud around my friends : *”Yes, very, VERY wrong”*
I have tried to hear any of Mae's other roles in Amity but I just can't and I'm frustrated yet impressed at the same time. I want to be at her level of voice acting some day where you won't know which roles she's played unless you're told. I can kinda hear Katara at 57:50 but other than that, there's nothing.
I quite enjoyed the video. I enjoy video essays, and it's always nice to hear someone discuss why they like something I also enjoy. And the video was very well made
Jackie CHan Adventures, TMNT 2003, Gargoyles, Spectacular Spiderman, X-Men Evolution, The Secret Saturdays, Ben 10: Alien Force and Teen Titans had season long arcs
This is why I love this show so much. I HATE it when a show boils down their character, to the BLACK one, or the GAY one. there's way more to a person than that. I remember a few years ago that they where going to make a Hungarian hero over at Marvel. Honestly I want a little excited to see my people be more than the villain FOR THE FIRST TIME IN COMICS. Yes look it up for almost 100 years all Hungarians were villains in comics. However when I started looking through the book, I found out that she was just a stereotype of, " HAHA, LOOK AT ME I AM EASTERN EUROPEAN AND I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH GOOD, ISN'T THAT WEIRD?!" Well I promptly put the book down and walked out of that store. This is the problem I have with this focus on representation as of the past couple of years,, most of them have been awful and offensive. However when ever I call it out I get people REEEEing at me that I don't understand because I am a white straight guy. Like Assholes all of YOU have gotten a good rep years, or decades ago while I only got Marvel's Borat over here. There has still yet be a good Hungarian, they are either a crude stereotype, or villains. EDIT: also your whole Fascism thing was very interesting, however I would totally argue that it's totally Marxism/Communism. They do the same thing. I Have been to china three times in my life, Seen the Killing Fields of Cambodia, and almost married someone for a Communist country. The way she looked at the world was very similar to what you described. They are just the other side of the same terrible coin.
I think the reason Amity and Luz's relationship works is because it's real. I'm a more conservative person but I'm also bisexual, and seeing lgbt representation in shows that is so clearly designed for the sake of virtue signaling and sending a political message frustrates me to no end. I have to put up with disingenuous political correctness AND I don't even get any good character development or genuine representation out of it. Amity and Luz's relationship is as frank and open as any heterosexual relationship in fiction and doesn't go the route of "two people in love against all the world's expectations, defying the evils of straight culture." Instead, it's just... sweet. It shows a real portrait of what a healthy relationship, regardless of the genders involved, can be like. And I really appreciate that.
While watching Raya and the last dragon I was so sure she and the antagonist girl were going to be the romantic couple of the film but no. None of that happened
I'm not going to watch the whole vid because it's long but I do know that it's all true. The Owl House is great and any cartoon-lover would straight-away like this!
As someone who is half Navajo, the whole "Savage Age" and Eda teaching Luz that the isles are alive and will provide help when you need it really struck a cord with me. Not in a bad way just something that felt familiar in a way? If you know U.S. history, I'm sure some will know how the government tried to wipe out Indigenous tribes. Claiming them as "savages" who *needed* to be forced out of their homes, be "introduced" to Christianity, and residential schools. Saying how they were uncivilized people so the best way to "help us" was to completely get rid of their culture, making it illegal to dance or sing traditional things, and so forth. I don't know the whole, "Savage age" and "Wild witches" really reminded me of things I was sorta told growing up? Being called savage by my elementary classmates and what not. Not too sure if that was the intention but it definitely felt familiar to me and that only makes me love The Owl House even more because I feel like that my feelings are valid in a way? Because I was often brushed off and some people will just say some bullshit that invalidates me and my entire existence you know?
Woah… this is a awesome review. This is the first time I’ve watched a hour long UA-cam video in a while, I can’t wait to see your review of season 2 once it comes out :)
I'll watch it, and I'll probably love it, but I hope its season 2 doesn't end up like svtfoe season 2, because if children's animation isn't made for me (an adult man) then who's it made for?

Amity and Gus and my favorite characters. Luz is a bit too much in my opinion.
@Grace Garcia (gg1772) What evz.
as a 19 year old lesbian (god i cant even say that word without it feeling bad or wrong, but anyways), it's so great to see a character like amity who i can relate to so much. even though the damage has already been dealt to me (homophobic parents, comphet, etc) and it's going to take me to take me a long time to get over my internalized homophobia, i still find so much comfort in amity's characterization and how she acts towards luz. thanks for this video! ♡
Just know that you have support! It took me a long time to get over my internalized homophobia too, to accept my bisexuality
Your parents should except for who you are not who they want you to be
Don’t let anyone get you down, ever. If you’re lesbian, that’s ok. Be happy with who you are and stick close to those who care for you and understand you. I don’t know how you should get your parents to understand, but I’m sure you can figure it out. Hope you’re doing ok.

i love the line amity says to willow, “You weren’t too weak to be my friend, i was to weak to be yours”. i find that line so meaningful and the delivery in that episode is so well done.
Every time anyone trys to describe hooty I'm just thrown back to that one seen where amity calls it a 'bird tube'
Scene, not seen. Those words mean two very different things.
My bird tube is hard.
I call him the worm bird, *THE ONE WHO DOESN’T BEGIN, ØR ĘÑD*
Hooty is a worm demon with an owl face.
Then she proceeds to beat the shit out of him a few minutes later. I love that scene.
56:00 Actually they did show that lesson but in a different way. When Eda tells Luz about cheating Luz says that if you cheat you can't know if you are good or not. When Eda won not only was she happy because she won but also that she did it without cheating. It was a proof that she is still good even with the curse aging her faster. Which is something that eda shows she struggles with in episode 11 when she tries to get the flower of eternal youth just to proof that she isn't too old.
Oh, neat. I like subtle lessons like that, not overt "Don't cheat cuz bad" morals. Actually seeing how good Eda feels not cheating for probably the first time in her Grudgby playing days is much more meaningful.

By labelling it as the norm, it is seen as traditional, by segregating the different types of magic it hides behind a mask of individuality, and by putting a single Coven above all of the others it gives the people a chance to excel, but only in the name of the state, and does all of this while being an effective method to control the most dangerous thing to Belos' rule: Other Witches.
I absolutely love this show. It's not often that you find something so intricately crafted and laid out. This is just one of many examples where the harder you look at this show the more sense it makes, as opposed to unraveling at the seams like many works of fiction do.
Yea facisim is a fuckin death cult for incels
And my favorite part is how casual it is? Like it’s integrated very naturally so you totally understand why the casual citizen of this empire would fall for it.
@@turner15 I really like that because that's how it always is. To everyone living inside a fascist or otherwise totalitarian system it's, it's just the system they're living in. There isn't anything else. The Coven system is just a part of life to the witches of the Boiling Isles, and nearly everyone living there believes it to be a good thing, thanks to the Emperor's erasure of history and propaganda. This is the same psychological perspective through which the citizens and the soldiers of Nazi Germany, North Korea, the USSR, and many, many more totalitarian states saw or still see the world around them.
What I find especially compelling, though, as I said in my comment, is that the Owl House understands what makes Fascism uniquely horrifying. Fascism makes you _like_ it and think that it's good for you. It offers promises of things like community that you're already entitled to without the tax of your individuality, and pretends that it itself is a gateway towards individuality. Even Luz's friends, who are genuinely good people, believe that the Covens are a _good thing_ because that's what the Emperor wants them to think.
I think I got my essay for film class...
@@ggitggud8242 Aw, shucks.
I used to be the "stop shoving gay representation diwn our throats" guy. Then I realised I was so deep in the closet, I was having tea with Aslan.
The real gay was me all along.
You either die a cishet, or you live long enough to see yourself become the gay.
@@filmfreak1994 LMAO
same.
I'm still am like that but as long the writing and development is pretty good I can make exceptions.
LMAO I LOVE THIS
One my favorite parts of the owl house is that they treat luz and amity's relationship as NORMAL. They dont mention that they are bi or lesbian, because they don't care. The relationship is treated as any other. A lot of other LGBTQ+ relationships are specifically pointed out or emphasized to make s point. It's nice subversion of expectations.
I also like that it isn't actually a primary focus of the show - like, it's just a thing that is. Not some big series-ending reward for the heroes, not the singular defining trait of the characters, it's just a piece of character development.
Fun fact: Luz in Spanish means light...get it coz...light glyph- YEAH
okey my first language is spanish I grow up with everyone one around me talking spanish I've known that luz is light for all my life and I still didn't get the light glyph
I love it when a characters name has a special significance
@@hellothere-bo7bn ikr?
Amity is Latin for friendship and Spanish is derived from Latin soooooo
@@Barc-fp8cg not to mention that amity's name is somewhat a contradiction/oxymoron
I actually started crying when you started talking about the representation. I’m bi and I rarely ever get any characters I can relate to in that way. It’s really refreshing to be represented. I hope we can get more representation in the future from this show and more.
Dana: can we put in faires that want to eat your skin?
Disney: yeah sounds good.
Dana: okay how about next we put in a horrifying octopus thing who manipulates and gaslights the main character.
Disney: I don't see why not
Dana: okay next we introduce a lesbian character who is the love interest for the bisexual main character?
Disney: Ha! No.
Well, uh...about that...
Turns out with a good enough story, even the big brute Disney can be swayed.
The Owl House shows another feature of fascism: the power of the wealthy in fascist societies. The Blights are shown to be powerful enough to be able to prevent Willow from attending Hexside.
"Look at the woosh and the circles and the bouncy and they didn't have to and OMG THIS EPISODE and CAN YOU LOOK AT THAT"
Now THIS is the kind of review I want to hear for an animated show. It's not even a joke, like you might not know the animation terms but I can feel the enthusiasm and appreciate it even more than I did the first time I watched it.
However, I gotta say I disagree that King and Eda didn't consider themselves family before Luz appeared. Eda does treat King like her kid, taking him to the park so he can play with other kids, giving him toys (so he can form his evil army), obviously feeding him, keeping him on her house and going so far as to indulge him on his little fantasy of having a crown that contains all his evil power just because it makes him happy. All of that screams mom behaviour independent of Luz's involvement. The thing that Luz did changed was that now they are more openly affectionate with each other, but there was already a strong bond between the two of them.
I imagine there'll probably be an episode going into how they met that might prove me wrong on their relationship.
King doing the swingy swing
but king works for Eda, so Eda gets benefited from king through chores, its ether the or king paying rent, Eda only treates king as a kid because, HES SO SMALL AND ADORABLE
everyone's reaction to the animation:
I feel like they definitely were a family even before luz but they would've hesitated to say it much more
My wife and I loved this show. We've watched it 3 times. She dressed as Edalyn for Halloween and I made a Hooty puppet to hand out candy with (he barfed up candy on trick or treaters as I stuck him out a crack in the door to be COVID safe)
The Owl House is the only good isekai. You can't change my mind.
That’s legit awesome and creative to hand out candy.
my next life as a villainess is p. good too
YASS
Amphibia is also pretty good :P
I dunno; I liked Kid in Aladdin's Palace. Digimon Tamers is a classic. Pokémon Rescue Team was pretty fun. Never Ending Story, the book, is a classic. I feel like I should mention Narnia, even I didn't really care for them.
I clicked on the thinking "oh this will be a great short like 10 minute video" and then I look at the time it's a full 1 hour 💀😭
That's my secret Cap, needless excessiveness.
Tbh i watched this like halfway through before actually realizing how long ive been watching this. Thats why i like vids like this because they immerse you into something long yet it doesnt feel like it.
My thoughts exactly lmao
FIlm freak: I'm not gonna give a complete rundown of every episode...
Also Film Freak: *Summarises the entire first season*
There's enough I left out for people to still be surprised... I hope lol
The fidget spinner joke got me cryin'
as a 19 year old lesbian this show is absolutely fantastic, no stigma around differing sexualities at all, its just treated like its the most normal thing in the boiling isles, which, well, it is, i dont like it when shows try to be inclusive and make a huge deal about two characters being queer and instead it ends up feeling like a cry for attention rather than just a normal thing. This show just casually shows that a character has two dads with no big announcement or flair, like how you should do it. Dont treat queer characters as something special, treat them how you would treat any other character, which this show does perfectly.
*Looks at view count in the past few days*

Thank you for liking this show
Me: *clicks what we gained*
The first thing I see: *the owl house intro*
Me: I mean, your not wrong..
okay but not to be shady TOH will alwyas be better then J.K rowling
forgot to say that the animation they use is sakuga for the running etc and so on :D hope that helps!!
You know, with some of the themes you mentioned in this, the one that caught my attention the most is "These witches be gay"...
I'm kidding, it's the "found families" trope which reminded me of a brilliant anime I watched a while ago (multiple times, I might add) called "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" aka "Kobayashi san chi no Maid Dragon". It deals with the found family trope among other things, it's also a show about gay dragons... So yeah, I don't wanna spoil anything but people should seriously watch it. It has beautiful animation, very likable and relatable characters (mostly), well developed relationships, unexpectedly deep conversations about... things and just such a wholesome vibe.
I really hope cartoons can normalize gay men, the most people get is the fathers of a side character.
I only know one show where a side character is gay, and that’s KIPO...
It’s refreshing, to see
A lot of shows have lesbian relationships but very few have gay relationships :(
I asked my brother if he was more comfortable with lesbian couple or a gay couple, he said he likes lesbian couples but he isn’t comfortable with gay couples.
Film Freak, our friend and I talk about this a bit in a podcast ep that's gonna drop soon (and FF's gonna promote it on his channel here so be sure to like subscribe ring that bell). Essentially we figure it's because gay relationships are seen as inherently sexual while at the same time lesbians appeal to horny hetero men so.... hypocritical bullshit basically lol.
Much love for Benson/Troy and may they pave the way for soft mlm in cartoons forever amen
I'd be more happy if gay male characters were written more competently instead of the stereotypical "I'm so fabulous." trope they typically get stuck in.
@@Drums_of_Liberation super valid. the very minimal rep mlm is finally getting in cartoons (Dragon Prince, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) has been good about that so far. hopefully that's the start of a good trend!
@@bexdeekay1272 that's good to hear. It just irks me that for all the talk of equal representation it's only the lesbian or female bi couples that get portrayed with the proper respect while gay male relationships are still treated as outdated overflamboyant caricatures.
Eh, it’s still true that cis gay men are most represented overall if you count other kinds of media; I didn’t find a single sff novel growing up that had positive portrayals of gay girls in relationships, though I read several with gay boys in them that I liked. And sapphic representation in cartoons is still really lacking compared to straight representation-half a dozen shows is objectively not a lot, lol! And all of those shows’ creators had to fight the networks to be allowed to portray what they wanted to portray. I would also LOVE to see more gay men in cartoons, without a doubt! But we’re still living in a homophobic society, and no one is privileged just for having a few more scraps, you feel? We’re in this together.
am I about to watch an one hour, ten minute and 1 second video about how a show is great even thought I already know why and how great it is?
yes
yes I will
*American pledge and its troubled history*
Now we don’t have time to unpack all of that
OMG I CANT WITH LITTLE MISS PERFECT PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE IT
29:06 as someone that doesn't particularly like lgbtq rappresentation in media (not because gays=Satan but because it's often left unexplored due to censorship), I really like the relationship between Luz and Amity.
It feels very natural and not too forced, making it even a major point in the character arc of Amity herself. So good job to the owl crew, they accomplished what many other show could never do
I don't like representation in media mainly because it's the "Corporate Approved" form of it, Owl House dies feels so natural and realistic that you can tell the creators and writers care about what they're making
“Not too forced”
I’m a bit curious what you mean by that. What would you change for it to not be so forced?
And I do agree, I love how the characters are characters first with their unique identities being integral to who they are without being distracting. They are a person first and foremost, with flaws and goals, and I love it. Very hard to find.
This video is SEVERELY underrated, this is a perfect analysis of what makes The Owl House so incredible
According to the literal CREATOR OF OWL HOUSE "THERE IS NO BEGINNING THERE IS NO END THERE IS ONLY... HOOTY"
This is honestly one of the most underrated hour long cartoon analysis videos I have ever seen.
I can’t wait for Season 2!!!
I love how edas curse can be compared to mental illness. especially with her line "noone likes having a curse but if you take the right steps its managable."
so ive watched the whole show. just listened to this while working my rain whispers cosplay.
I believe in Japan they refer to the animation style that this show has as 'Sakuga' which is absolutely amazing and requires a hell of a lot of time and effort because each scene in that has a large number of gorgeously and intricately drawn frames which give that seamless flowing look. I hope the animators on this show got compensated appropriately because this show's animation is just outstanding. *Thinking of Eda v Lilith and the grom dance sequence*
Which kinda reminds me of the one thing I found lacking in She-ra. If only that show had animation like this, it would be perfect!
*A bit of a spoiler alert for the following ramblings*
Also, dwelling on just the representation thing (which a lot of videos are doing) in this show does a disservice to it in my opinion because it has a lot of other things going for it too. A menacing and mysterious villain, Eda (everything about her is just fantastic), Lilith and her questionable decisions, etc. I found the relationship dynamic between Eda and Luz especially intriguing. It feels really well portrayed and seems like the core of the show for me so far. That can change and I hope they do something similar with Lumity because Amity gushing over Luz is just all kinds of adorable.
I do feel like there are still negatives to this show because after the first couple of episodes, there didn't seem to be any direction the show was moving towards. It kinda got mediocre for me, not a waste of time but just kinda meandering while still being entertaining enough to watch. King got a bit unbearable at times as well.
sorry, i know I’m seven months late to the party but I strongly recommend giving season 2 another try. There’s been some good character development so far, and most importantly King actually got purpose and character development that makes him way more tolerable imo.
@@semidecent4395 I agree. I had similar problems with the first half of season one but absolutely adore all of season 2 so far.
M'kay. I'm afraid I'll have to be controversial here, by saying that Pacifica didn't need or -HECK- even deserve a character arc. I mean, even Alex Hirsch himself has said that he wanted Pacifica to stay a bully, just a tiny bit less of one after 'The North-West Manor' episode.
He said something along the lines of wanting an antagonist who ISN'T the villain. Sure, we all had that moment where we thought romance was afoot between Dipper & Pacifica, but Hirsch didn't like the cliché so he scrapped it, sorely disappointing many viewers, but still leaving content for gags and troubles (like Pacifica not wanting to put on Mabel's apocalypse sweater).
TL;DR: Pacifica was never *meant* to have a character arc, a fact validated by the creator of Gravity Falls himself.
Fair enough, but I still think Pacifica is a lot more interesting when she's not just a bully.
If anyone's curious there's a podcast called something like Gravity Falls: Behind the Scences where Alex comes on with various writers and voice actors and gives commentary for each episode revealing basically everything about the making of them.
the fact the owl house was able create such a relatable character and i wish the owl house was there when i was a little younger cause i would have been able to feel excepted earlier
Amphibia, Infinity Train, and The Ghost and Molly Mcgee: *I'm about this man's whole career.*
I randomly got suggested a Lumity fan compilation on UA-cam, and it really made me want to watch this show
I have now watched it all, and can't wait for season 2
I love it when creators notice and take a moment to appreciate animation in any animated show/movie, whether it's a children's cartoon or not. When creators do this, they are not only seeing the animation for its worth, but also noticing the animators who work on these projects and thanking them for their hard work.
21:35 “waiiiiit a minute” I AM LAUGHING SO HARD

that one owl house nerd OMG SAME
1:03:05 “wow you listened to me talk for over an hour, you have the patience of a saint my friend”
No my good man, you simply have enjoyable content :D
So happy to see that you made a video for season 2 and 3 that's longer than this, bout to binge them now!!!
What??? I genuinely thought this video had so many more views until I saw the comments about it. This is such a good breakdown, very well formatted and high quality!
The owl house is honestly one of my longest specific hyperfixes to date, I genuinely love this show so much. Im looking forward to season 2 so much,,
AN HOUR LONG VIDEO ABOUT WHY THE OWL HOUSE IS GREAT?! YES PLEASE
I didn't know Amity was Katara and now I can't stop hearing it.
This was an amazing breakdown! I've been enjoying the show since it came out and it's my longest (specific) hyperfixation to this date and I wanted to see what others liked about it. The fascism elements were never my focus in comparison to the comedy, relationships and found family trope, but the way you explained it really got me thinking.
You've put an unimaginable amount of effort into this video and I'll stick around to see what else you'll get up to :)
Wow, I was so busy with my homework that I had to keep this video in a separate tab in Microsoft Edge and when I was done I would watch it ... And I think this hour was absolutely better than my 6 hours doing homework. . Thanks for this video, I actually saw it until to the "first gay Disney character" part lol
PS: I'm from Venezuela :p
wah thank you for the great great video on my new favorite cartoon, I'm watching it with my younger siblings and we absolutely adore it, I really am thankful for cartoons like these, they give me a certain hope and love that feels so soft and warm
We hear that season 2 gets block for what Disney considers "incorporate"
EVERYONE: GIVE IS THE DAM RELATIONSHIP EVEN IF ANOTHER CHARACTERS, *YOU WILL GIVE US IT*
Watching you just take a good minute at the very least to nerd over the animation is that quality content I didn't know i needed, but i did.
God, that red flag portion had no right to make me laugh like that...
I actually had to go find a video of that scene from the game so I could watch it a few times over.
I loved this, and also hello from a fellow old person who thought she'd grow out of watching cartoons...and is now watching them at 32 with zero regard for the intended demographic.
My grandfather (85) is reading One Piece on his tablet...😆
That AVPSY clip caught me so off guard
Me watching this after through the looking glass ruins. It only gets gayer from here.
So glad I found this show 7 days before the second season, because that just means I don't have to wait too long for more, I love it
You’re so lucky, I have been waiting for months 🥲
This show hits so close to home for so many reasons.
I have ADHD, Luz has ADHD. I’m Bi, Luz is Bi. I am pretty sure I have autism, Amity can easily be read as autistic. So many of my experiences have been reflected in this show, and it isn’t even done yet.
It also got me thinking that getting a girlfriend isn’t totally far fetched/that I’m capable and worthy of having a partner. Which is something that I kind of subconsciously gave up on.
This show makes me feel seen, heard, and loved in a way I can’t truly explain. I know it has flaws, but oh my god, I absolutely adore this show.
Honestly, Amity never hit me as a autistic person, why do you think she is?
This cartoon is seriously one of the best I've watched in my entire life. It has a lot of potential.
All I wanna say is your explanation is so clear and brilliant that even the 16 yrs old me understands it (except the politics part ofc). It's so long but even though it takes an hour I can't help but watch the whole thing because it's so good so is your narrative talking. I love the LGBTQ as well but even though I myself is part of it I'm more relate to Luz's struggle with family and society more. And also I'm a fangirl of Luz and Amity, it's so cute. Me and my bae always gay panic because of them being cute.
I just like the show because Luz goes in with OUR expectations of a perfect fantasy world like Harry Potter, and we un-learn those with her. Also i'm a sucker for Lumity AND found family and I just love the whole cast, but especially the main three. It's such a good show, and while having dark themes, it's still has this light-hearted vibe and is super comforting for me personally, AND the animation IS SO GOOD. I also like that it's slow-paced and takes time to develop conflicts and characters over time while creating some every-day life for it's characters. I just, can't wait for Season 2
"Anyway, back to the gay "
I have not done a literal spit take in a long time. Congratulations, youve brought my "days without a spit take," to ZERO, you magnificent bastard

The first promo image dropped in 2018??? Where??? TOH has become my favourite show and I'm shocked I didn't hear about it before it premiered!
Something that really made owl house special was the dark and demonic tone they put in this world, its not a "magical world of fantay", its a REALM OD BLOOD-SUCKING DEMONS and that cracks me up. Seeing all these nightmarish imagery being put under a more comedic and cartoonish light, almost as if they got the team behind Bayonetta or Darksiders to do the art direction on Gravity Falls's animation team (the school bell always cracks me up), and the characters recognize they are all demonic and creepy . almost like Addams Family with a ton of sass.
As for Bellus, he CAN be redeemed if he is a puppet of the titan, as if the aforementioned titan wants to get back to life and thats the unity, to, I don't know, sap the magic of all witches to bring the titan back to life, and Bellus is just a puppet either completely mind-controlled or just too scared to defy the titan because it either means his harm, or in a more noble effort, the harm of everyone else that would come if the titan is contradicted.
Catra and Adora the end of she-ra the princess of power made me cry tears of joy
“First Impressions are mostly wrong” ( Idk I forgot what it was )
Me who’s friend’s first impression of me was too quiet and is very loud around my friends : *”Yes, very, VERY wrong”*
I have tried to hear any of Mae's other roles in Amity but I just can't and I'm frustrated yet impressed at the same time. I want to be at her level of voice acting some day where you won't know which roles she's played unless you're told. I can kinda hear Katara at 57:50 but other than that, there's nothing.
Wait they actually are the same voice actor? i just finished ATLA and I didnt know that thats insane
And also the voice of Tinkerbell in the Disney Fairies movies.
23:55 And this is why Mabel is wearing a rainbow sweater throughout the episode; as Alex's protest to this change.
Good man that Hirsch
WHAT A VIDEO!!! that was an amazing take on not just the owl house but also just cartoons in general. GOOD JOB!
Im so excited for season 2, especially because of the new character "creepy Luz"
It’s not hard to listen to you for an hour when it's this interesting 👌😆.
Luz: Oblivious
Amity: Gay panic
Lumity: exists
historians: And they were good friends
I can pick my friends, and I can pick my nose, but I CAN'T sail this ship into Tortuga all by me onesie, savvy?
I quite enjoyed the video. I enjoy video essays, and it's always nice to hear someone discuss why they like something I also enjoy. And the video was very well made
Jackie CHan Adventures, TMNT 2003, Gargoyles, Spectacular Spiderman, X-Men Evolution, The Secret Saturdays, Ben 10: Alien Force and Teen Titans had season long arcs
This is why I love this show so much. I HATE it when a show boils down their character, to the BLACK one, or the GAY one. there's way more to a person than that. I remember a few years ago that they where going to make a Hungarian hero over at Marvel. Honestly I want a little excited to see my people be more than the villain FOR THE FIRST TIME IN COMICS. Yes look it up for almost 100 years all Hungarians were villains in comics. However when I started looking through the book, I found out that she was just a stereotype of, " HAHA, LOOK AT ME I AM EASTERN EUROPEAN AND I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH GOOD, ISN'T THAT WEIRD?!" Well I promptly put the book down and walked out of that store. This is the problem I have with this focus on representation as of the past couple of years,, most of them have been awful and offensive. However when ever I call it out I get people REEEEing at me that I don't understand because I am a white straight guy. Like Assholes all of YOU have gotten a good rep years, or decades ago while I only got Marvel's Borat over here. There has still yet be a good Hungarian, they are either a crude stereotype, or villains.
EDIT: also your whole Fascism thing was very interesting, however I would totally argue that it's totally Marxism/Communism. They do the same thing. I Have been to china three times in my life, Seen the Killing Fields of Cambodia, and almost married someone for a Communist country. The way she looked at the world was very similar to what you described. They are just the other side of the same terrible coin.
I think the reason Amity and Luz's relationship works is because it's real. I'm a more conservative person but I'm also bisexual, and seeing lgbt representation in shows that is so clearly designed for the sake of virtue signaling and sending a political message frustrates me to no end. I have to put up with disingenuous political correctness AND I don't even get any good character development or genuine representation out of it. Amity and Luz's relationship is as frank and open as any heterosexual relationship in fiction and doesn't go the route of "two people in love against all the world's expectations, defying the evils of straight culture." Instead, it's just... sweet. It shows a real portrait of what a healthy relationship, regardless of the genders involved, can be like. And I really appreciate that.
I didnt notice Amity and Katara have the same VA cuz its so different aa
DEAR GOD learning that Lefu being gay was a tribute to Howard Ashman BOILD MY BLOOD
I got chills when the intro started playing
Your video was so good that I dint notice the minute mark
I love this show so much, and i'm so hyped for season 2!
3mins in, completely forgot this was about owl house.
GREAT VIDEO GREAT VIDEO GREAT VIDEO
you make me laught at 1:00 am with that moment (27:40)
i did'nt expecting a joke. I was taken by surprise
While watching Raya and the last dragon I was so sure she and the antagonist girl were going to be the romantic couple of the film but no. None of that happened
Of course not. Disney are cowards.
I'm not going to watch the whole vid because it's long but I do know that it's all true. The Owl House is great and any cartoon-lover would straight-away like this!
I LOVE THE OWL HOUSE!!!!!!!
It was fun to listen to you talk for an hour. No patience needed.
Nice grim adventures of billy and Mandy reference
This felt like a 15 minute video because of how entertaining you are
i did not notice that this video was an hour long. I was just grinning and mouthing all the quotes all the way through
As someone who is half Navajo, the whole "Savage Age" and Eda teaching Luz that the isles are alive and will provide help when you need it really struck a cord with me. Not in a bad way just something that felt familiar in a way? If you know U.S. history, I'm sure some will know how the government tried to wipe out Indigenous tribes. Claiming them as "savages" who *needed* to be forced out of their homes, be "introduced" to Christianity, and residential schools. Saying how they were uncivilized people so the best way to "help us" was to completely get rid of their culture, making it illegal to dance or sing traditional things, and so forth. I don't know the whole, "Savage age" and "Wild witches" really reminded me of things I was sorta told growing up? Being called savage by my elementary classmates and what not. Not too sure if that was the intention but it definitely felt familiar to me and that only makes me love The Owl House even more because I feel like that my feelings are valid in a way? Because I was often brushed off and some people will just say some bullshit that invalidates me and my entire existence you know?
disney made the show only 3 seasons with the 3rd being only like 4 episodes GOOD JOB DISNEY
I cant belive i actally got a chock when he said ive been wathing for an HOUR!
25:25 we’ll look at knocking on hooted door !! Whoop whoop
Woah… this is a awesome review. This is the first time I’ve watched a hour long UA-cam video in a while, I can’t wait to see your review of season 2 once it comes out :)
Svtfoe also makes both Star AND Jackie Bi in season 4 which is really cool
I'll watch it, and I'll probably love it, but I hope its season 2 doesn't end up like svtfoe season 2, because if children's animation isn't made for me (an adult man) then who's it made for?
"Because if children's animation isn't made for me (an adult man) then who's it made for?"
That one's going in the favorite comments list
“If children’s animation isn’t made for me (an adult man) then who’s it made for?”
The jokes write themselves at this point
