- This was a very interesting watch!
This was found from a 4chan leak, a bunch of other different Disney TVA shows had their pilot episode’s leaked (this is one of them) there are slight details in the story here then what ended up being used.

so i hate the fact that they didn't keep the "you've insulted me for the last time" "no i haven't your makeup looks tacky"
I feel like this could have worked either in the first fight scene we got (witch’s duel) or in any of the fight after we learn that they are sisters. Edna definitely still believed these insults to be tru, as evidenced by her poor attempt to get out of meeting her dad, and I feel like she should have had a chance to voice these thoughts in the final product. (Although her hiding out from her sister unless she sushi have the time to escape before Lilith catches up to her also makes sense as a valid plot point because she clearly still cares for her sister and missed the bond they shared as children (Them’s the Breaks, Kid).
I wish they kept that too, it's hilarious
Alternate title: 21 minutes of characters voiced by Alex Hirsch and occasionally the final cast
omg alex hirsch has so many different voices its carzy
he’s a great voice actor 😭😭😭
Yes, but is there any minute in which they remind us all the time that we can be weirdos?
Well yeah it was just placeholder voices until they got proper voice actors that happens all the time that's why often voices in storyboards don't match the final animation
@@thundertits I know, it's just funny that most of it was Alex Hirsch, which is surprisingly accurate to a lot of other additional voices in the show
Holy, she goes to the Boiling Islands becaouse AMITY??
That changes BIG things
Lumity version two, tbh I would absolutely watch a fanmade version that expands on this pilot and gives us a totally different lumity plot
Just like Miles did with Gwen in ATSV.
And In this universe, anyway.
Also, This Owl-Verse is WAY different than the one we know!
@@BluAru I wouldn't be at all surprised if this sparks some fanfiction.
Actually the first concept was Luz died and she went to Hell because the whole island is hell in the concept but this is different
@@bryanthernandez9769 That’s strangely similar to the original premise of Jimmy Two Shoes.
Also, now THAT’S an Owl-Verse I would love to see!
Does anybody get the feeling that they would have fallen in love with this version of the show too?
Wayyy More !!!
TOTALLY
Yep
Yep
Yea
Eda being able to willingly turn into an owl beast is interesting. I wonder if this version of the show would never have included her curse.
Eda seems to be able to turn into an owl and Lilith seems to be able to turn into a bat. So I think these were meant to be more so powers than curses, originally.
According to her character sheet it seems she had an Aging Curse instead in this version
@@Valelebee She still kinda has this in the show too. The Owlbeast Curse also seems to age her since she looks significantly older than Lilith (who is still supposed to be Eda's older sister in both versions).
@@Valelebee where u find charater sheets lol?
@@Asterite100 I think that's just the stress of her curse aging her up. Many people with sicknesses or disabilities kinda have the LOOK of age to them because of the stress of dealing with those problems. I've personally known a couple of people who look much older than they actually are due to certain stresses in their lives.
Ok, now I want the whole show with this premise so that I can obsess over Lumity all over again
REAL!!
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE SAPPHICS YEARN FOR ORIGINAL PILOT LUMITY
Maybe a movie retelling in theaters. Assuming we get it in 2D. It needs a nostalgic resurgence back.
This would make a great version for a reboot
REALLLL
5:12 Eda saying "I know what you are" has so much meme potential
homophobic dog meme
lmao
FR
Lol 😂😂😂😂
“I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE”
*bi flag fades in*
“Us weirdos have to stick together, remember?”
“NO! I DON’T”
Eda, I love you-
CODY WOLF!!
😂😂😂😂😂
How is it that this literally Pilot episode is as good as the actual series, seriously Dana definitely knew what she was doing when she was making this show and she did such an amazing job with it, and the jokes are so good, even in this Pilot
Idk about the jokes but, as an English 2 honors student I feel like this pilot hooked more with mature viewers.
She need to make more fr.. I'd watch em 🤷♂️
@king-gv3bk bro how the hell is it heterophobic??? It literally has a straight couple in it
@@king-gv3bk Tell us you didn't watch the series without telling us lol
The show goes against my beliefs but I won't go ham. Unless it attacks my beliefs directly.
“Okay… she got away with it. She got away with it everybody!”
Love they kept that joke! 😂
That and Luz coo'ing over King and then wildly grabbing at the air as Eda holds her up makes me laugh every time.
& Hooty getting pissed after being poked in the eye!! One of my fav jokes in the show, glad to see it was there since the beginning!! :)
My first reaction to that line was literally: "GRUNKLE STAN????"
That's my favorite quote
@@V_MCmine too!
Luz: Do you think we are soulmates in every universe?
Amity: I don't know, maybe?
...
ANOTHER UNIVERSE:
But in this universe she threw away Luz's drawing
@@senortrekkie But in the universe we got she tried to get Luz dissected
@@hoeyinwong5087 true. Am was a ruthless little psycho sometimes sheesh
@@senortrekkie i mean...that's a private mean comment about this random girl she barely met...compared to attempted vivisection it's not so bad...
@@pedroian5964 fair point.
Wow…not gonna lie, I kinda prefer this over the actual first episode. The jokes land some more, the “weirdos sticking together” moral was handled less on the nose here & there’s some more plot set up. I’m guessing some of the changes were due to Disney higher up interfaces. Like the higher ups wanted more episodic stuff compared to plot & they prefer more on the nose messaging. Getting that impression based on how some of the other Disney cartoons were. I guess that explains why Amphibia had a hefty amount of episodic episodes, resulting in it being critiqued for not having enough plot episodes & too much “filler”.
And wow, the amount of differences compared to the final show! Lilith being more of a baddie & Hexide principal? Amity secretly studying in the human world & meeting Luz there first? Eda’s (& Lilith’s) ability to transform being less of a curse & more of a ability? And Eda secretly working for the Emperor? I’m curious to see how the plot would have went with this set up. Fanfic writers & fan comic drawers get to it!
Dana did say that the show really didn't feel like it belonged to her until like episode 15, which explains why half of season 1 is episodic, it was Disney's doing
I agree
@@ajay.adr2Where did she say that, again? Was it on a livestream or something?
That is standard issue broadcasting preferences. An episodic first season with the second being less constrainted in structure.
Plus… you kinda need episodic shenanigans to establish the setting’s base foundation. Get us in a casual vibe before ramping it up.
Frankly, Amphibia was good at this. We care about Wartwood’s citizens in Season 3 in the war because we got to know them in Season 1 as simple country folk.
Los creadores nos pondremos manos a la obra sale y vale❤❤
5:35 idk why but the badly photoshopped dancing here is so funny to me 😭
Same with the burger king crown to💀💀
and the fedora i was giggling throughout this whole thing
The fedora killed me the first time I saw it. Any consequent jpgs just made it funnier.
😂😂😂😂
Imagine what this version of the show would be like
Not much cuz Disney litterally funded this
You say that, but the school its self was disney interference
@@CheeseMiserdana had the opportunity to go with cartoon network but chose disney, that proves you otherwise
@@evolvediove5621 hmm. I wonder why.
@@evolvediove5621 maybe she worked their and knew a lot of the crew already. Hmm.
Okaaayy...
I liked this pilot way more than the actual first episode and I think this fills a lot of plot holes of the show, I like that it was showed that Luz was actually bullied and not just let it implayed and I think the world building and the magic looks more interesting and appealing.
What holes?
Also the human realm could’ve played a bigger role in the series. I kinda wish this have the human realm be a little more prominent in the series
@@kmmk5022 I’m pretty sure it was suppose to in season 3 but it got cut short so :/
I agree. I also love how it was set up more than the first episode we got. If only we got this in the final it probably would’ve set things better. Idk that’s just what I think. I love the idea of Amity being the human world, and it just sounds way more interesting to me and would’ve set things up more with her family on why they sent her away. And I love Lilith being the head master and again, sounds way more interesting with the way she would’ve run the school. I’m just ranting at this point lol.
Also I wish they kept in that three eyed character. She could’ve been comedy gold. Like, she could’ve been such an iconic character.
Though do you think that maybe the character could possibly be an alpha or beta version of Boscha?
That is interesting. So in this version, portals weren't hard to come by and there were multiple other dimensions. And travelling through the portal doors is an everyday thing, too.
This would've DRASTICALLY changed basically all of seasons 2 and 3 in the final show
Someone needs to write a fanfic of the owl house based on the pilot
Yeah it felt more like monster inc. Where the doors where used for work and other things
Since the chest gem thingy is a Emperor thing in this version and the portal key came from it, I'm sure they're highly regulated and still near impossible to come by if you're not working for the Emperor (That is if Amity's parents still work for him in this version, giving her access to the human world).
Most likely Eda would "betray" the Emperor and loose the gem thingy and their way to the human world before season 1 ends and making a part of season 2 still be about the Owl crew trying to gain back access to portal technology minus Belos trying too as well since he already does.
Belos hating humans would still change things drastically.
And that Luz came to the Boiling Isles because of Amity and not Owlbert.
Yeah the basic the old plot seemed to be that the emperor ( not belos and not evil) is stuck as a pupa and not able to communicate so there a council that speaks for him which is controlled by a shady masked dude (proto-belos, even made the coven system) who wants posses the titan body and take over the demon and human realm but he needs a human soul to accomplish his goals which is why he's after luz ( even though there another human named Williams who shares a familial connection with him and was born in the 19th century)
Ok, I like how the canon Owl House went, but this pilot leaving us on a cliffhanger like that is just BRUTAL! Now I gotta know how this version goes!
I wanna know too
According to the pitch bible, things would ultimately come to a head via Eda being forced to choose between curing her (aging) curse and Luz. The curse cure involved sacrificing a human soul... Oh, and proto-Belos (Councilor Obron) wanted to sacrifice Luz too! In order to achieve his evil plans of possessing The Titan and using it to take over both the Human *and* the Demon Realms!
@@emilycarrick3570 Did Amity and Luz still end up together in this alternate timeline
I think the fact that Eda’s fang fell out would lead her to getting the fake gold one. I can only imagine a similar incident happening in the canon.
i think that was her fake gold one?
@@cherrybomb4umaybe, though we can’t really tell without any color.
@@GreatBuckeyeGamer yeah but her fake gold tooth is removeable and when she was young before the curse she never had a fang
@@cherrybomb4u And that same episode, we can see her put it in her mouth.
@@carlmplay4163 yeah so that wasn't her real tooth that fell out!
Omg when Eda said “this is beautiful why would anyone throw this away “ I genuinely teared up its was such an emotional scene kinda sad they didn’t keep it in the final one😭💞
THE WAY LUZ CRIES BREAKS MY HEART
that's how they had to present a protagonist like someone who have depression, ostracism and difficulty socializing, not the way that the first ep did
@@ai_izi yeah i feel like the true first episode only implied that she was getting bullied and stuff whereas this shows it, but i think they had to change it a lot because disney doesnt like the plot based series lol
@@miilk. yeah, the true first ep just showed Luz as someone who is dangerous for her environment, and that problem remains even in S2, that's why the crew tried to fix in in Thanks to Them, but the damage was done
@@miilk. Mine too
14:20 I cannot fucking believe it’s just a jpeg of a Burger King crown
i was just laughing at that
20:23 Eda saying it’s beautiful and who would ever throw this away made my heart melt
Eda was always meant to be Luz’s mother. Never biologically but always truly.
For a pilot episode this is pretty awesome !
It’s so cool comparing this to first episode and seeing what they kept and decided to scrap/rework
Definitely love that all the jokes that I loved in the pilot were there from the start.
To be fair that should've been the first episode of season 1 because this has a lot of impact and drama than the first episode that we had back then
I wonder if they recycled the whole “Gemstone that someone else can control you with” concept into Amity’s necklace. Also I am rioting over Edna’s soft “Why would anyone throw this away?” Line not being in the show
EDNA 😭😭😭
12:00 amity going "girl, i know" is something i didn't know i needed to hear LMAO
14:19 THE CROWN IS JUST A JPEG OF A BURGER KING CROWN BAHAHAHAHAA
18:07 THEY'RE THE SAME BREED OF WEIRDO ADLKFASHDFKJDSHA;OA //////
(also, i enjoy the detail of showing luz picking the lock of her own locker earlier in the episode and then coming in clutch with the ability toward the end. that was pretty cool)
this feels like watching TOH for the first time all over again. this is great, tysm for uploading!!!
The locker thing defo made more sense to me than that weird glowing barrier that no one but a human could get through? Rewatching the final pilot ep, that weird, not really logical plot point kinda took me out of the lore for a hot sec.
@@kimberlylandeck8663 i guess so? it's definitely funnier this way, with the crown being trapped inside some "ancient human tech" or whatever, and that eda and king are too comedically stupid to just like... magic it open or something lol. i don't know that it necessarily makes more sense though HAHA
7:51
I feel bad for saying this but this is so much funner than the actual first episode😭😭
No you're not wrong tbh😭
agreed tbh😭 we were ROBBED I need fanfics of this rn this is basically an au
@@miravxz real
Right! I enjoy watching the owl house, but I’m not as into it as I wish I was. If it was like this however I probably would be.
We... Were... ROBBED!!!
Amity going to Luz’s school is such a fun twist, and it hasn’t been confirmed yet cuz I don’t see her ears, but the fact that Luz probably found the demon realm is because of her adds so much interest to their dynamic
As much as I enjoy the series we got, I can't help but wonder how the story would have played out had this been the initial set-up.
We need fanfics of this
@@kmmk5022 Grap you paper, pencil and photo to look up pictures for reference! Anyone can partake, this is a creator's buffet! So everyone join in, it's time for us to plummet.
I love the occasional use of actual pngs
This feels like what a 2000s-era Owl House would be like
I feel like this’d be a cool retelling as a movie or two. Especially with Amity being there in Luz’s world from the start.
Or like a reboot
Nah, too soon. I mean, an alternate version not unlike how Anime would have big franchise retelling their stories. Think Dragon Ball.
@@matt0044maybe a movie series then?
@@kmmk5022 A trilogy. One where Luz gets Eda to teach her. A second where she goes to Hexside. A third where the Day of Unity occurs (under different circumstances).
The Hexside one could have Hunter there as an undercover operative. Likely as a test by Belos to see if his conditioning is solid to not betray him this time. That and an expansion on the Grom.
@@matt0044Ooooo that would make an amazing movie trilogy.
Lilith chopping Eda head is the most realistic portrayal of siblings they could do
I actually love how Luz breaks the portal key, so she’s staying in the isles not fully by her own choice
oh wow I legitimately did not expect to be introduced to pilot amity lol 0:51
Amity jumpscare
EDA’S GEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE HER WAY OF TORTURE?!!
Amity being an exchange student in the original pilot does explain the Amity looking human from the first episode.
omfg The fearleading poster at 11:37 that is literally just Saturn Devouring His Son is making me lose my mind???
It's so cool to me how eda's design practically hasn't changed between this and the final show. It tells me Dana had eda in her head for a long time and already fleshed out as a character
I love the fact that no matter what they always planned the school bell to be Alex screaming in his Stan voice it’s so funny every time 😂
Although the Pilot is amazing and shows how dark Dana wanted the series to be, there are some things that I didn't like with it.
1. The fact that the enthusiasm to become a witch that Luz had in the final version wasn't really there, and it was more like she was "stuck" in the Demon Realm like Eda said. I'm glad that this was added in the final version because that enthusiasm was shown throughout the entire season, and we could see how much Luz wanted to be a witch.
2. Amity being a key part to Luz discovering the Demon Realm doesn't make a lot of sense. Even if this would add more sense for Lumity, this show is partly about believing in yourself to acheive great things, and in the final version, her Azura book is the representation of Luz's passion. Owlbert stealing her book and leading her to the Demon Realm makes more sense because from a viewer's perspective, this would mean that her passion led her to what she wanted, and that her walking through the portal seemed less accidental. In the pilot, we kind of see l that it's completely accidental.
3. In my opinion, Lilith and Eda's transformations are a bit weird and a little bit disturbing. I think that the concept of the curse of the Owl Beast is much better because it adds a lot more to Eda and Lilith's character development.
There are also some things that are in the pilot bible that are, in my opinion, a bit worse than the final version, like the fact that the Emperor was supossed to be "Emperor Pupa" instead of Belos. And I might be wrong, but based on the description, the fact that the Emperor is human doesn't seem to be a thing, and in my opinion, Belos being human was an amazing plot.
What I like with the Pilot is that we kind of see how Luz was treated in the Human Realm.
So, I wouldn't say that the pilot is better than the final version, but not worse either. A mix of the Pilot and Episode 1 would be amazing.
I agree, I also give credit to the final version with the plot of Eda and her curse, Camila being a very important character in the development of Luz from the beginning and the connection that Luz's book represents and thanks to him we had the beginning of Amity's friendship, the reason why she wants to be a heroine as Azura is in her own way and the background of how she got that book thanks to his father's last gift 😢
You described it just perfectly! Gotta agree with this!
Emperor Pupa wasn't even proto-Belos, he was the thing proto-Belos claimed to speak for in place of the Titan. Councilor Obron was the actual proto-Belos, and he was still going to be human / a witch hunter, with William (proto-Hunter) being blood related to him rather than a clone of someone blood related.
I thought I was the only one who thought it wasn't better than the one we got.
Having Amity visit the Human world beforehand is interesting, but yeah it is not a good sole motivator for Luz to be on the Boiling Isles. Especially since the Pilot hints that they rarely interacted until now.
The random pngs throughout the animatic have me dying 😭
Ok, now i want to see more of this version
Oh my fucking god... saaame...
same omg
More! MOOOOORRRE!!!!!🤣🤣
Someone write a fanfic
Or get a reboot ready, or make a movie trilogy
Bro I want to see emperor Belos so bad
Holy shit, that's a whole alternate universe here! Crazy to think the show could have been this.
This should be used for a reboot
“why would anyone throw this away?” oh god i’m sobbing
1:51 I love how the blood splatter represents or foreshadows Amity's tomato face
Wished we got to see Gus and Willow but omg an Eda betrayal would hurt so much
Actually in minutes 17:19 you can see them in the crowd of students
They're in here too, for a second!
@@etetgg1364 we need MORE!
@@ic236 ngl I like them more as just background characters
@@arenmattexx238 honestly same xD
Alex's voice is littered all throughout this video, 6:43 that guy is so clearly just Stan! I can also hear a lot of lines/takes (like Hooty's) reused in the actual episode 1. You can also hear Dana at 10:33 and 17:56 subbing in for King and Eda.
ty for pointing this out!!!
5:40 the screaming customers are him as well
“Crown!”
I think at 20:35 it's also Dana saying "What's going on?! What's gotten into you?!" I love these little lines by her, i wonder if she had voiced the entire thing before giving it to the voice actors
@@_TreebitThat doesn’t sound like her. Eda seems to be voiced by Wendie and whoever voiced her in the Next Time Reel depending on the scene. That line sounds like it came from the latter VA.
18:48 “no i dont!!!!” so fitting of eda to not fucking remember anythin😭
She’s me fr
willow and gus in the crowd at 17:18 :o
Omg it is
I'm saying it now as much as I like the episode 1 we got... This pilot is 100 times better
Well youd suck at making a show then
I do prefer a few of the changes they made in the final version, mainly Luz choosing to stay, rather than being forced to as I feel it was more impactful for Luz’s character and of course led to her heroic sacrifice of the portal at the end of season one and provided many plot points in season two, but it was really interesting to see how this originally played out.
Some parts are better , some are worse
I miss TOH so much
Omg?? Eda working with Emperor Belos in this premise is so interesting! The thing with her gem shocking her if she lies and the bird-guy also having a gem makes me think she’s potentially unwillingly working with Emperor Belos? Maybe she wasn’t always unwilling to work with him? Ooohhh so many questions!! It’s also so cool how Eda seems to have control over her owl ability. Seems like in this premise she either just has it as her sort of cool thing, or it’s still a curse and she just has more control over it? I hope somebody makes something out of this premise, like a comic or fanfic or some kind of script-audio-reading thing!
Actually, the intent wasn't for it to be Belos; it was going to be "Emperor Pupa", an insectoid creature trapped in its cocoon whose council "speaks" for him - meaning they just lie and say what they want is "the Emperor's will". The actual prototype for Belos was Councilor Obron (secretly a human hundreds of years old who trapped Emperor Pupa in the cocoon so he could create the Coven System and control witches).
Maybe the gem is why they can control their curse, and the exchange was the emporeror gets to control them
17:54 it was so shocking that she switched voice actors for a second
The way this is way better than the actual pilot hurts
the actual real image of dancers on the tv and the guy just being flipped back and forth is kill me ToT i love this
oh they switched the joke from around 10:00!! thats cool
WOW and the END? edas working for the emperor against her will? thats sick!! so cool so see the other ideas they went through on the way to making the show!!
I missed this show so much😭 istg I would've loved either version of the first episode
I always felt the pilot was the weakest episode. And this furthers that. We see way more of Luz here and understand why she dislikes earth so much. She was a forgetful, outcasted goofball. Amity actually stands up for her which is why she’s so eager to be friends. And her relationship with Eda starts out stronger.
I kinda wanted to see the human realm play a bigger role in the series
@@kmmk5022 i blame bob iger and bob chapek and the random disney executive who give the idea of cancelling the shows and making excuses to cancel it
@@kmmk5022 I’m sure it was initially. Dana said a lot was cut because of the shortening. I’m estimating we were supposed to get the same amount of earth eps as Amphibia.
@@LaissezFairyWritermaybe she should’ve just split the episodes in like episode A and B and have 2 eleven minute episodes.
Also I wish they kept in the 3 eyed character. She could’ve been comedy gold. Like she could’ve been a very iconic character
Though do you think she could possibly be like an early version of Boscha
@@kmmk5022 I thought that too. But I think they didn’t do it for two reasons: 1. Disney wanted the show to be different from Amphibia aka 22 min vs 11 min segments and 2. it would be much harder albeit impossible to convey the same content without the full runtime. Imagine Hollow mind as an 11 min ep.
Yup, the final version definitely prettied up a lot of characters and creatures. Such a shame too. I really like the creepy, horrific monsters. But I guess that’s to be expected on Disney.
The version of the show is great too!!! I'm so excited to watch it all‼️
This is all we will see 😭
@@OwlHouseAddiction I KNOW😭
I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PILOT 😿
I was half through it,but It was wonderfull
17: 00 They just used the Mighty Eagle scream from Angry Birds
This whole concept feels a lot smoother than the og pilot. It is nice seeing the emperor brought up so early, and using Lilith this early too feels like a good set up for her character.
I do have some gripes. I kind of feel the whole show ignored the theme of learning how to find balance between fantasy and reality for the theme of "Weirdos stick together". I also don't know how to feel about demon realm residents being allowed to go to the human realm and why it is encouraged if humans are seen as lesser. Maybe they were sticking to the idea of Belos wanting to invade after all and these people were encouraged to go as heroes, braving new territory for the Isles. Maybe they weren't planning for Belos to be a witch hunter.
I'm wondering if this version of Belos would have been similar to Amon from Legend of Korra (human posing as a witch and fostering hatred between the two worlds to build power)
The only difference is the end and that they hate humans.This will be a good movie bc gives more for first episode.
@@user-io4bl5gi2bYeah like an owl House movie trilogy
@@jamesbevan9939 The series bible got leaked too and Belos isn't actually in this! They have an Emperor Pupa, a literal cocoon whose will is divined by three councilors implied to be keeping the cocoon from ever hatching while using the emperor's otherwise unfathomable will as their authority.
@@sanmeiwolfthat sounds cool! Where can I find that?
See, this is how you write good angst. We actually see how the real world has hurt Luz in this pilot. Being bullied by her peers in school, presumably still having her imagination squashed by her mother, and now getting her heart broken by Amity when she sees her again. Add to that her mentor working for Belos and perhaps the fact she’s the reason Belos rose to power, and you’ve got a tragic storyline to make Pink Floyd’s The Wall look like a standup comedy sketch.
They need to make a parallel show based off this pilot
This version of the pilot is better! Everyone's motivations work a lot better here, and it makes the actual pilot feel incomplete or overedited by comparison. Eda's curse makes a lot more sense as a method of control for the Emperor, instead of being a random scroll from the Collector.
The only thing is, this probably would have been too much for a first episode. It set up so many plot points when most networks want more casual adventures, and they didn't know if the show would last long enough to pay off these plot points.
I guess that explains the recurring critique of season one being too episodic. The Disney higher ups appear to have wanted the show to be that way. At least season 2 & beyond they were able to be more story driven. Maybe those claims of fans saying Dana wanted the plot to go at that pace is kinda true.
Saying that Eda's curse would have been better if it was just a taser used by the emperors coven is a WILD take that I disagree with.
Also that three eyed character in the pilot would’ve been an icon
@@svgaming263 Yeah that's not what I meant though. It makes more sense for Belos to be involved with the curse instead of the Collector, so they can use it for dramatic tension. The rest of the storyline still works; now Lilith got the scroll from Belos, but still didn't know the effects would be permanent. Belos still promises to reverse the curse but goes back on his promise. And Eda gets free of Belos's control by learning to coexist with the Owl Beast and claiming the power for her own.
This make Belos a more personal enemy to the owl family, which is sorely needed since his history is intertwined with Eda's ancestors and we barely got to explore that.
Ya think that three eyed girl could’ve been an early version of Boscha?
I wasnt expecting to see amity so early
OMG sooo Awesome that this storyboard footage was found! This version sure looks darker then the one we got! So 🆒️ that various pilots of DTVA shows has been unveiled on 4Chan!
Lilith feels more intimidating in this version. Also, the fact that Eda secretly worked for the emperors coven. That would've been some nice drama
7:47 I know a lot of stuff was changed, but hooty being in the sun just further shows his importance that never got explored
I WANT A COMPLETE VERSION OF THE HOOTY MURAL ASAP. ARTISTS PLS, IM BEGGIN ON MY KNEES.
AMITY BEING IN THE HUMAN REALM IS SO INTERESTING?????
17:17 That rendition of the main theme hits HARD 🔥🔥
Bro The OG Pilot had more interesting things and events than the original episode we got, Ngl I rate this a 9/10 overall I enjoyed it there was more people, and good first expressions and etc.
This is amazing 🤩! But I can see why this didn’t get to be the finale version, it kinda reveals too much for the first episode, like we don’t really learn that Eda has a sister, let alone reveal her sister is Lilith later on into the show. But I love how some of the things were kept for the final product. ❤❤
Aye. The jokes I love were always there, and no matter which version they were in, THEY GO HARD.
To everyone saying this is better, no it's not. They're both equally interesting, but that doesn't make this one better. The reason you think it's better is because you're used to the original and this version feels new and interesting.
Ultimately, I think the characterization in the final version is better. The slow buildup with Amity, the way she becomes more three-dimensional as we learn more about her, and just her personality sets her up better for her redemption arc. And as for Lilith, if she had a monster form like Eda, that'd basically change the entire plot of season one and her whole arc.
Yes, there are aspects of this that are funnier or would've been cool to see in the final version, but it's not better. You are underestimating the actual pilot
amity was there from the begging as well i love it, and shes an exchange student oh wow if this was part of the story we got i think people would of loved it more, i see some of the early bully amity is there, the bully persona she gives of till she cracks and my god that ending it makes me want to watch more of it, netflix buy it of disney and make this a film....oh no...iv gotta watch it again from the start ffs this is like the 100th time
This needs to be the first episode if the series gets a reboot
OMG EDA WAS GOONA BETRAY LUZ WE NEED A FULL SERIES OF THE PILOT 😭😭
This would've definitely been a very interesting alternative-Luz and Amity meeting right off the bat and having Amity's soft side shown _before_ her bratty side, along with Luz going to the Isles because of Amity; widespread interdimensional travel; Lilith being a teacher, having a beast form at the start rather than getting one from sharing Eda's curse, it being a bat rather than a raven, _and_ her being able to control it, along with getting thrown into another dimension; Eda actually having a connection to the Emperor's Coven, albeit a likely-unwilling one...
Not sure how this version would've played out compared to the version we got, but it's definitely an interesting little oddity. I'd love to hear about their original plans for the show when they made the pilot, and where they wanted the story to go.
This version would’ve also been so cool💥💥 I hope a really dedicated fan make some more to the original pilot because I would love to see this version of the story progress😭❤️
Yeah I’d totally wanna see a reboot of the series with this as the first episode. Or even part of a movie for an owl house movie trilogy
Im the only one that likes the version that we got more than this bc it feels like they give us so much and not like much to found? Like its beautiful pilot of e1 and i love it for the dark horor that it gives but it files like 20 first minutes of a movie and not a series
EXACTLY. Pacing is super important, even in a show that hasn’t received a public reaction/response to it, and that’s why I like the final pilot version better (but I wish they kept in the locker part. It makes much more sense than a HUGE ASS BARRIER that only a human can get through? Like, that part kinda took me out of the world for a hot sec rewatching the pilot after the first two seasons in.)
Lowkey was waaay better than the actual pilot
i think the real episode one works better- this one is FULL of information from the like the first half of season one. I think it’s too much for just a pilot. I’m glad they spaced out introducing characters and plot points.
That’s because it’s more like a first episode
But it could make for a good part for a movie for an owl house movie trilogy
Anyone else curious how this would have played out
Yes!! I wish we could see more of this
The ending is what I’m most curious about
@@liam6170 same
This could make a great reboot first episode
Now this is an AU that I'd love to see more of.
Pilot seems more interesting than the actual show.
Eh you just say that cuz this is different
@@tobsonasanya4765 no cuz it’s better
One thing I didnt like was Amity being the reason for Luz to go. The theme of being yourself made more sense with Luz chasing Owlbert with the book
“AEaEEAAEAEAEAEAHHGSEGHEGAE. AMITY’S MAD AT US.” Killed me. Lol
THAT…WAS…AWESOME OH MY GOD!
I love how there were so many slight differences, it felt like I was watching something else completely! I also love how Amity was just *a little* nicer here than she was in the whole first season lol. I thoroughly enjoyed that😍
20:21- 20:39 genuinely made me tear up a bit like the episode really made me feel bad for Luz about her art and when EDA saw it I thought she would say a snarky joke about it but say it was fine BUT
SHES SAYS “This is beautiful, why would anyone throw this away” and it shocked me a little the way that the line was said and the music shift during the line was but so cute and wholesome at one point I felt like that when it came to my singing performances so seeing Eda valid Luz’s art and calling gorgeous after Amity called it trash was very much needed
THIS IS SO DAMN CUTE (I low-key love this pilot more more than the actual one but it made me more concerned about how to build Amity and Luz’s relationship-)
I would’ve loved this version better honestly
King: Yeah. The little horns on her passport should’ve been a dead giveaway.
Okay. That was savage King! And also a bit funny! 😆
So Amity in both of the earth and the boiling isles
20:27 this scene is soo cute and sweet 😭
Wow, i didn't see The Owl House Pilot, thanks for post it, it's preety good. One more thing: What is the date for this pilot episode?
the small pilot reel was made in 2018, which means this original story board was most likely made that same year + very early 2019
I like the fact that the catalyst for luz getting to the demon realm is Amity in this version
This is better the final episode OMG!! Why does Disney have to be so strict about goddamn changing plots for goddamn sake, seriously, this should’ve been episode 1
Except what we’d get wouldn’t be the show we like now.
Yeah like this is a way more interesting concept. This could be great for like a reboot or movie
@@kmmk5022 all this happen because disney don't take risk anymore because when a show took a risk is gone that's exactly what happen to the owl house they took a risk and disney struck it all down
If only someday Disney brought back so many of they’re old and forgotten shows like Fish Hooks, Brandy and Mr Whiskers and many lost pilots, Disney is wrong for cancelling shows that could’ve made Disney better, what’s worse is now that they are bringing shows that look like crap into the channel like primos
I love this almost as much as the existing show
I gotta be honest I kinda like Eda a lot more in this version than canon😭 idk something about goofy immediately more friendly willing to take in Eda makes me super happy
...I will PAY to have this version made
Edan being a bad guy would have been totally insane, and something I could see stayed in the final cut, but still loved the show evan without that twist
This is a gift . Holy Titan , is this cool ! 😍 It feels so good to get some more Owl House content and this pilot and everything that could have been is incredible to see . I really love some of the monster designs in this pilot , especially Lilith’s monster form . There’s also a few moments and scenes I like better than what we got in the show
I massively disagree with this pilot being better on the whole or that some changes we’d get weren’t needed. It’s a good alternative take on the story but it wouldn’t be our Owl House.
I mean some concepts of the pilot were pretty good.
I mean that three eyed girl would’ve been an iconic piece of comedy gold
1:05 if only they added that in the actual first episode. It would’ve made sense as to why she only had the head of her Azura doll when she gave King the dolls crown!
19:17 coraline refrence
it's so fun to see how similar this is to the first episode, with almost barely any differences other than some key plot points of course
