I can't believe I didn't notice that bit of foreshadowing hidden in Derek's stuffed animals on my first viewing. It's quick but not really hidden out of frame or anything. Totally creeped me out when I rewatched it for the review.
First episode of this Season 1 was fantastic imo. Unfortunately it's desire to back peddle to episodic comedy rather than keeping up a genuinely dramatic serial was disappointing to me.
right? I was disappointed once I started noticing each episode was its own separate story. At first I thought that maybe Groening & co. don't have a flair for the dramatic. I forgot that some of the most heart warming moments in television history came out of Futurama.
I definitely feel like this season left us hanging I really felt like it just touched the surface and like you said I want more bring on season three. I did like a lot of the character development amongst the side characters especially Oona. Elfo’s story line this season reminds me a lot of Buffy’s story in season six of BtVS. I really hope he gets more emotional depth in season 3
Hey great video, I have some things you might of over looked, the tunnels underneath the castle is where Dagmar and the albino elves saved her, elfo and Lucy. Jerry was introduced in part one and we as the audience learned much about his and his siblings until Dagmar and bean come back to Maru, and we find out his is related to her and therefore bean (also we find out he got the crown used on him at the age of ten permanently making him that intellect.) All this made his sacrifice for bean all that more important and why he got to go to heaven and why god was so mad at elfo for scolding him. Elfos mom is the ogre queen (the benefit of pops being on the road I believe he called them fringe benefits). That's why she was so shocked at his name as bean and him left, why elfo is green, why he has a blood rage. That also makes the ogre he stabbed in the eye his half brother! Edit: I missed that you talked about elfos mom potentially being half ogre. I noticed my mistake on another viewing of the video, sorry about that. very much enjoyed the video.
Loved everything with Elfo in heaven, but I agree, he's pretty inconsistent after that. Also, did you see the latest Simpsons episode? Just Stamp The Ticket Man is back! With a love scene!
Ethan Sloan yes! I had shown my girlfriend the video on Just Stamp the Ticket Man and we watched that episode together and I turned to her and said “HEY LOOK HE’S BACK!”
They really do need to get things moving along in terms of what the hell is going on for the next part. There’s nothing wrong with a mystery, but not knowing what Dagmars deal is besides trying to “fulfill a prophecy” despite Bean literally staying with her for 2 episodes feels just as cheap as the writers still trying to make a mystery of Elfo’s origins despite them being able to ask his dad anytime they’d like. Why give them the screen time if they’re bending over backwards to not give the audience an answer?
When I saw this in my subscriptions I remembered part 2 came out, considered going to watch it, but then just watched this instead. The show just doesn't really do it for me. Well part 1 didn't at least.
Your review echoes pretty much how I feel about the show. I am in the "exploration is the best thing they've got going" camp and I could do without the Game of Thrones intrigue. I *am* excited by the possibilities of other "-Lands" with the introduction of Steamland.
I honestly feel like this part was weaker than the first. Since of how fast the part goes through the stories and arcs, i kinda felt a bit a bit disappointed on how lackluster the part is.
I think the XIII century. According to the phrase "you're a modern woman, a XIII century woman". It seams that other regions just were more technologically developed.
Great review. I'm still on the fence by season 2. There's so many moments where they tease you but the exposition leaves me wondering why I should care sometimes.
I feel like this was an improvement over the first set of episodes, and I'm someone who enjoyed them. As much as I am liking the show, and as much as I want it to succeed I still cannot deny it does have a few flaws here and there. It's still a very cool show that has very endearing fantasy/adventures elements, and I'm always engaged with that. In terms of the humor I admit it can be hit and miss at times, but I feel that they're starting to find their stride now, and the humor aspect is improving. It's also quite impressive how for being a Matt Groening series the show really hasn't had any guest stars yet. In terms of guest stars they've mostly just had other Matt Groening alumni like Lauren Tom and Phil LaMarr. It was awesome to here Phil LaMarr in these episodes, and having him voice both God and the Devil was freaking awesome. I hope other Matt Groening alumni like Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright, Frank Welker, and Hank Azaria appear in the show. I also feel the secondary characters are getting more development, and I cannot wait to see what they go through in the next season. I hope the show continues to get better, and I hope it becomes a major hit for Netflix.
My involvement with Disenchantment is I feel compelled to watch it because I watched all of S1. So I watched all of S2 even though it felt like a huge chore. It feels like a bunch of nothing happens and you end up less endeared to the characters and with more questions.
Oh wait. Maybe I'm a dumb-dumb. But I swear - at first I thought it was a faux-betrayal, but after awhile I actually _was_ convinced by Luci's 'betrayal'. And I was sincerely, truly enthralled and surprised by that episode. Like, I felt genuine relief when he swooped in and saved Beanie and Elfo. Because the series has done some pretty surprising deaths & such I did think oh shit they went there?! Haha. Like I said, I'm probably just a dumbdumb.
I agree with you here, my main dislike about this season is the pacing of individual episodes, they felt too quick, I could barely latch onto anything. and the second thing was the treatment of the mysteries of part 1. the turning everyone to stone thing was super important and it appears to be solved too quickly (or is that just me?). but yeah overall I like the show, and want part 3.
Okay im watching the intro advertisement, haven't seen your take yet . . . But I'm really hoping you talk about how much better season 2 is 😁 I FRIGGN LOVED IT. I didn't hate season one, at ALL. But i knew it was just going to get better & better... i was right. I understood why lots of people didnt like it because i think i liked it more than most, for the potential i see. A lot. But sometimes i tend to give too much slack to animation aha. So idk. But also, im not watching this show for laughs. The show is an incredibly intriguing plot with fascinating characters that I absolutely love. Luci is one if the best new characters in adult/teen animations. The world building is my favourite thing abut most animated series, though, so thats likely why im so fond of it - it is soooooooo imaginative & pretty. Like STEAMLAND? I FUCKING LOVE STEAMLAND. Anyway, yah its not laugh out loud funny, rarely. Its just amusing and light @ times. Jokes are just sprinkles on top of a fun and intriguing and imaginative sundae 😁.
Yeah, the way this show is so cavalier about setting up plot points and forgetting them immediately really breaks the serial immersion in a really bad way. I can't take things seriously if the show doesn't take them seriously. The nice thing about Gravity Falls' setup is that part of the overarching plot _is_ discovering the weird supernatural stuff so even when it's doing wacky episodic shenanigans it feels like some progress is being gained in addition to the bits of scattered lore. Another thing is that Gravity Falls has a strong supporting cast whereas Disenchantment's side characters are barely memorable. Oh, Odval wants to usurp the king? Maybe that would mean something if we knew anything about him outside of his love of orgies. I guess there's something conspiratorial going on with secret societies but there's barely any focus and it's mostly played as a joke. Really feels like they're just going through the motions. Merkimer's pretty cool, I guess. I like Oona too but she's undercooked. I get that trying to mix serialization with episodic stuff is a tall order (Gravity Falls didn't do this perfectly either) but at this point it feels more like episodic stuff but every 3 episodes there's a subplot that's sorta related to something that happened before. Maybe it's unfair to expect writers who aren't used to this to nail it right off the bat but I dunno. I tend to be more frustrated at things with potential that don't commit toward it but I'm still pretty lukewarm here.
Elfo man...they introduce him in the elf village and he's this grim sonuvabitch: establishing him as the grumpy elf. But then when he meets Bean and the others he's Elfo the happy elf boi. I didn't think they handled defining his personality all that well tbh.
I think Elfo has a lot of uncovering ro do that is what i like about Disenchanted its trying to let the mystery come from uncovering and not discovering things
I feel they took two parts in order to world build and devolop characters. World building usually takes an episode or two. They have so much set up, but it's lead to almost nothing. If the writers want a great series they need to take the world they build up and do something with it for part 3.
I agree. There is obviously something interesting hidden in the catacombs of Dreamland Castle, but the show isn't in any hurry to explore it. There's something interesting about Elfo's parentage, but the show isn't in a hurry to explore it. I get pacing and all and not blowing through all their secrets... There just isn't a strong enough inciting incident to the series to hook people. They shouldn't be restricting the series by hiding all the stuff that makes their characters and setting unique to the fantasy genre.
If I’m being honest, the second season felt like we walked in one big cul de sac oh sure stuff happens along the way, but where we end feels like we really only took 3 steps forward, no questions answered but 8 thousand more raised, and somehow I feel like Bean went backwards with how naively dumb she was. Really hoping this show doesn’t pull a JJ Abrams and give us disappointment when answering the questions
Tadicuslegion78 that’s an excellent analogy. nothing of consequence happened or resluted due to the stone spell of s1. and at the end of s2 we are right back to where we were at the end of s1 with regards to dagmar and bean. sigh. i don’t dislike this, and maybe my expectations were too high because of simpsons and futurama, but i felt this show has been good, not great. .
I don’t know. I mean it’s not like I hated it, but they touched on so much stuff yet never really developed it. So many interesting set pieces, but they all basically lasted for one episode. And some stuff goes by so fast, like that mermaid island, that I don’t really get why it’s even in there.
I feel like Disenchantment doesn't use it's potential. The characters have moments in which they reflect and all, but in the end, the are all the same characters again. The Elfo and Luci banter jokes feel so repetitive. I watched the 2 seasons and it feels as if nothing has changed from the 1st episode. Ok the lizard queen is gone, Derek feels lonely. I know actually a lot has happened. But I don't see too much character development, which doesn't fit all the things that has happened. They walked through hell and they basically all the same.
I have such mixed feeling about the show. I had hopes after Season 1, hoping it'd get much better, but it only got a bit better, so I feel a bit let down.
I like that you conpare Bean to a Homer/Lisa composite character. She struck me more of a Fry/Leela/Bender type character. These days Homer's too braindead and pathetic I feel to be a character we have any sympathy for, and Lisa is too self-righeous and whiny. Fry is naive and in over his head, Leela is opinionated and quick to violence, and Bender is greedy and oppotunistic. Bean shows all these qualities.
Serialized ... this is the keyword. Whenever a sitcom gets serialized, you really know it jumped the shark. South Park fell on their face hard, so they became episodical again. The Simpsons are like Two and a half Men with Charlie Sheen - a Sitcom. Disenchantment is like Two and a half Men with Ashton Kutcher - a Soap Opera (Don't blame Ashton Kutcher - blame the Executive Producer). While Soap Operas have some fans, they aren't sitcoms and a connected plot is certainly a bad thing for a sitcom, as it lacks variety. Most controversial Simpsons episodes from the Mike Scully period make permanent changes to the canon like the changes for Apu and Lisa, so change equals bad. While millenials like and hype some soap operas like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, theese are different from the Simpsons in genre (Drama vs Comedy), medium (Internet vs Television) and demography (Millenials vs Gen X). Making simpsonized Game of Thrones is bound to fail.
I hate disenchatment so much. The characters are bland, meet Bean generic feamle protagonist she is having trouble getting along with her dad I have never seen that a milion times before. She is just Areil if she was a jerk she is very boring and plain. Meet Elfo an elf that wants to be bad. Even though he flip flops being good and bad at any mommenty and he is a jerk like the rest of them so it doesn't really work. Then you have Luci Bender mixed with Garfield. He is restricted to bean shoulder most of the time so he doesn't really do much. The writting is cliched. The jokes are abysmal they are some of the corniest jokes I have ever heard in my entire life. For some reason they are always insistant on telling for the most obvious jokes possible in any situation. like in that exorcist episode when the priest guy captured Luci in a bottle to drop him in the vocolcano. They save the demons. Bean: We unleashed evil on the world Luci: Isn't it great. *Baddum tisssss* get it he is the demon I didn't see that coming. for every 50 bad jokes there is one chuckle. I have heard Fozy Bear tell better jokes and they are bad on purpous.
Aw, it makes me so sad that theres so many people that dislike the show. I love it, so, so much. Its so imaginative, intriguing & different. I got so wrapped up in the world. Im sorry you didn't enjoy it :(
Also i agree the show isn't funny. Its not really a comedy to me. Its more about world building, interesting and creative characters and the humour is just to add a lightness & fun air to not take itself too seriously. Its not laugh out loud funny its just, amusing :) . Imo.
@@britann9539 The characters aren't even interesting they one note Bean: gets drunk complians, Luci: lame one liners not so bad after all Elfo: I am the seet one but sometimes im edgy and the world is dull. Its just a gerenic fantasy setting. Look at Steven Univeres I don't like that show any more but its world is way more unique.The whole world is just refrences rather than its own thing. For example hell from the Bible, Hansel and Grettle Nurcy Rhymes, Her mother is Mortica Addams. It makes me want to watch the real addams family because it has actual humor.
@@SonofTiamatI can't tell if this comment is satirical It sounds like Star vs the Forces of evil kinda she was reblious to her parents especially her mother. A much better show. Ironically it is a rip off of most disney princesses. Bean: I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. Also Bean is such a boring character
I can't believe I didn't notice that bit of foreshadowing hidden in Derek's stuffed animals on my first viewing. It's quick but not really hidden out of frame or anything. Totally creeped me out when I rewatched it for the review.
You can also see one of those elf things in the background of a part 1 episode. It's behind Elfo when he walks down the stairs in episode 4
What about the quote from bean in the begin of the season “ do I look like I’d shoot to” to her dad in the clock tower
I like it it's not as good as Matt other but I still like it but great reviewer jims
Your voice is so relaxing
First episode of this Season 1 was fantastic imo. Unfortunately it's desire to back peddle to episodic comedy rather than keeping up a genuinely dramatic serial was disappointing to me.

Hey great video, I have some things you might of over looked, the tunnels underneath the castle is where Dagmar and the albino elves saved her, elfo and Lucy.
Jerry was introduced in part one and we as the audience learned much about his and his siblings until Dagmar and bean come back to Maru, and we find out his is related to her and therefore bean (also we find out he got the crown used on him at the age of ten permanently making him that intellect.) All this made his sacrifice for bean all that more important and why he got to go to heaven and why god was so mad at elfo for scolding him.
Elfos mom is the ogre queen (the benefit of pops being on the road I believe he called them fringe benefits). That's why she was so shocked at his name as bean and him left, why elfo is green, why he has a blood rage. That also makes the ogre he stabbed in the eye his half brother!
Edit: I missed that you talked about elfos mom potentially being half ogre. I noticed my mistake on another viewing of the video, sorry about that. very much enjoyed the video.
Bean is more of a mixture of Leela, Bender and Amy.
Now that I've seen this comment, Bean must say "guh" at least once.
I'm leaning towards a blend of Fry and Lisa Simpson with her.
Loved everything with Elfo in heaven, but I agree, he's pretty inconsistent after that.
Also, did you see the latest Simpsons episode? Just Stamp The Ticket Man is back! With a love scene!
WHAAAAT? JUST STAMP THE TICKET MAN IS B A C K !
He's back, in pog form
Ethan Sloan yes! I had shown my girlfriend the video on Just Stamp the Ticket Man and we watched that episode together and I turned to her and said “HEY LOOK HE’S BACK!”
Jerry was gone too soon!! I hope we get some clips of him and god next season.
At least Jerry is God's favorite.
They really do need to get things moving along in terms of what the hell is going on for the next part. There’s nothing wrong with a mystery, but not knowing what Dagmars deal is besides trying to “fulfill a prophecy” despite Bean literally staying with her for 2 episodes feels just as cheap as the writers still trying to make a mystery of Elfo’s origins despite them being able to ask his dad anytime they’d like. Why give them the screen time if they’re bending over backwards to not give the audience an answer?
The "stience" bit got me laughing every time.

Your review echoes pretty much how I feel about the show. I am in the "exploration is the best thing they've got going" camp and I could do without the Game of Thrones intrigue. I *am* excited by the possibilities of other "-Lands" with the introduction of Steamland.
I honestly feel like this part was weaker than the first. Since of how fast the part goes through the stories and arcs, i kinda felt a bit a bit disappointed on how lackluster the part is.
Just binged your Simpsons history and I happened to check your channel and you still upload, yay.
Haven't finished yet but I gotta say, I love the backgrounds in part 2.
Been waiting for this review since part 1.
I would have liked to see more fairies. But maybe I'm just biased
I've been so excited for this review!
I think Steamland was the most interesting part of the whole series.
Agreed. And if only that it opens up the possibility of other '-Lands'
@@SteveNeubauer Steamland made me question what time period the series takes place.
Janus Zeal it takes place in the same time lord of the rings is set. Where they use lanterns and horse drawn karts but still have cameras
I think the XIII century. According to the phrase "you're a modern woman, a XIII century woman". It seams that other regions just were more technologically developed.
Congrats on 50k subscribers.

Would love to get a video on your favorite Itchy & Scratchy shorts

Hmm.... A Disenchantment Point 'N' Click Adventure game (in the style of King's Quest). I like that idea!
My involvement with Disenchantment is I feel compelled to watch it because I watched all of S1. So I watched all of S2 even though it felt like a huge chore. It feels like a bunch of nothing happens and you end up less endeared to the characters and with more questions.

Nah Gravity Falls is actually funny and the characters have depth beyond 1 or 2 traits.
Elfo man...they introduce him in the elf village and he's this grim sonuvabitch: establishing him as the grumpy elf. But then when he meets Bean and the others he's Elfo the happy elf boi. I didn't think they handled defining his personality all that well tbh.
nothing to do w the episode but why's there a random accordion noise in ur vids? i always feel like the pizza song is gonna start playing lol
I think Elfo has a lot of uncovering ro do that is what i like about Disenchanted its trying to let the mystery come from uncovering and not discovering things
waits its already out!?
Can somebody please tell me why Bean's ears turned red im that one episode?
Cause one of those mermaids nibbled on them, Bean asked her if they do that in the previous scene and the one mermaid said she was quite good at it.
I feel they took two parts in order to world build and devolop characters. World building usually takes an episode or two. They have so much set up, but it's lead to almost nothing. If the writers want a great series they need to take the world they build up and do something with it for part 3.

If I’m being honest, the second season felt like we walked in one big cul de sac oh sure stuff happens along the way, but where we end feels like we really only took 3 steps forward, no questions answered but 8 thousand more raised, and somehow I feel like Bean went backwards with how naively dumb she was. Really hoping this show doesn’t pull a JJ Abrams and give us disappointment when answering the questions
Tadicuslegion78 that’s an excellent analogy. nothing of consequence happened or resluted due to the stone spell of s1. and at the end of s2 we are right back to where we were at the end of s1 with regards to dagmar and bean. sigh. i don’t dislike this, and maybe my expectations were too high because of simpsons and futurama, but i felt this show has been good, not great. .
I don’t know. I mean it’s not like I hated it, but they touched on so much stuff yet never really developed it.
So many interesting set pieces, but they all basically lasted for one episode.
And some stuff goes by so fast, like that mermaid island, that I don’t really get why it’s even in there.
I understand it’s flaws but…
I have really loved Disenchantment thus far
They're doing what Star vs stopped doing after season 2.
I should pick this show back up again...but I'm seeing a lot of weird similarities.
They should have opened the story and explored Steamland more!
No King Zøg is amazing.
I feel like Disenchantment doesn't use it's potential. The characters have moments in which they reflect and all, but in the end, the are all the same characters again. The Elfo and Luci banter jokes feel so repetitive. I watched the 2 seasons and it feels as if nothing has changed from the 1st episode. Ok the lizard queen is gone, Derek feels lonely. I know actually a lot has happened. But I don't see too much character development, which doesn't fit all the things that has happened. They walked through hell and they basically all the same.
I liked it . But i was not in the edge of my chair like in the first season finale
Can you please do histories of the Crazy Cat Lady
This would really have worked more as a point and click kind of game
i'm really enjoying the show, but i'm with you on it needing improvement. it's not bad, it just could be better, which is disappointing sometimes.
I don't love it but I don't hate it ether, first few episodes of part 2 with Dagmar/Heaven were great then it dragged until the last one.
Part 1 was easier to watch the second time around, 2nd was ok, but yeah a little frustrating
I have such mixed feeling about the show. I had hopes after Season 1, hoping it'd get much better, but it only got a bit better, so I feel a bit let down.
I like that you conpare Bean to a Homer/Lisa composite character. She struck me more of a Fry/Leela/Bender type character. These days Homer's too braindead and pathetic I feel to be a character we have any sympathy for, and Lisa is too self-righeous and whiny. Fry is naive and in over his head, Leela is opinionated and quick to violence, and Bender is greedy and oppotunistic. Bean shows all these qualities.
Elfo Camino: A Disenchanting Bad Movie
Ha I like that joke
I think that the king is based on the king from game of thrones
season 2 is way better than 1. I think they are going to keep improving in season 3
Please keep doing Simpson’s character histories , they’re my favourite and I hope they’re not a thing of the past
hey, it’s not great, but matt groening finally made a good HD season
(well, 2, i guess)

Hey, I just obliterated your stance with 1 surname.
Disenchantment works better when its's a fantasy story that what it's try to be a sitcom, like Futurama or Simpsons.
the shows pretty good, i just dont like how they set up a joke and then explain it immediately after the punch line... ???
Yeah its good ... Not great
But i think so far
Its an enjoyable ride compared to a lot of junk on Netflix
11:57 Wrong Gravity Fall is actually funny and the characters have depth.
Disenchantment disappointed me, a lot. As a huge fan of Futurama, I found the show to be obvious, stupid, and corny.
I stopped after the first two episodes, since it felt like they paused a few seconds after each joke for the audience to laugh.
Bruh one of the first views!
This serie isn't good
First!!
I hate disenchatment so much. The characters are bland, meet Bean generic feamle protagonist she is having trouble getting along with her dad I have never seen that a milion times before. She is just Areil if she was a jerk she is very boring and plain. Meet Elfo an elf that wants to be bad. Even though he flip flops being good and bad at any mommenty and he is a jerk like the rest of them so it doesn't really work. Then you have Luci Bender mixed with Garfield. He is restricted to bean shoulder most of the time so he doesn't really do much. The writting is cliched. The jokes are abysmal they are some of the corniest jokes I have ever heard in my entire life. For some reason they are always insistant on telling for the most obvious jokes possible in any situation. like in that exorcist episode when the priest guy captured Luci in a bottle to drop him in the vocolcano. They save the demons. Bean: We unleashed evil on the world Luci: Isn't it great. *Baddum tisssss* get it he is the demon I didn't see that coming. for every 50 bad jokes there is one chuckle. I have heard Fozy Bear tell better jokes and they are bad on purpous.
Aw, it makes me so sad that theres so many people that dislike the show. I love it, so, so much. Its so imaginative, intriguing & different. I got so wrapped up in the world.
Im sorry you didn't enjoy it :(
Also i agree the show isn't funny. Its not really a comedy to me. Its more about world building, interesting and creative characters and the humour is just to add a lightness & fun air to not take itself too seriously. Its not laugh out loud funny its just, amusing :) . Imo.
@@britann9539 The characters aren't even interesting they one note Bean: gets drunk complians, Luci: lame one liners not so bad after all Elfo: I am the seet one but sometimes im edgy and the world is dull. Its just a gerenic fantasy setting. Look at Steven Univeres I don't like that show any more but its world is way more unique.The whole world is just refrences rather than its own thing. For example hell from the Bible, Hansel and Grettle Nurcy Rhymes, Her mother is Mortica Addams. It makes me want to watch the real addams family because it has actual humor.
Bu-bu-but she's a princess who doesn't want to be a princess! Why u no think that isn't original or compelling???
@@SonofTiamatI can't tell if this comment is satirical It sounds like Star vs the Forces of evil kinda she was reblious to her parents especially her mother. A much better show. Ironically it is a rip off of most disney princesses. Bean: I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. Also Bean is such a boring character
Spoilers, the only trigger warning of any real consequence.
