If there's one video I'm glad I came early to, it's the one for the gay witch show

Personally as a handicapped person I've always seen Eda's owlbeast/curse to be a metaphor for both mental and chronic illness. Eda literally says "I can't cure it but with the right potion it's managable" or something along those lines, and in the episode where she confronts the beast and they're chained together she resolves to work with it. I've always seen that as Eda *finally* accepting that she has limits. That her illness just isn't going to go away and she's more mindful about that. But that's just me

Hunter doesn't turn on Belos because he finds out that he's a grimwalker. He turns on Belos when he finds out that Belos planned on killing him, has killed countless versions of him, and sorta enjoys killing him.

1:09:01 Correction, Luz didn't save the Basilisks, they saved themselves and Vee saw Luz at the fair in the first episode and went through the portal right when Luz had just left.

One correction: Eda’s actually the younger sister

1:41:28 This is beating a very dead horse but something to consider anyway, the cancellation didn't take place in October 2021. Dana had known about it for quite a while when she talked about it during her Twitch stream in July of 2021. Based on the timeline, it's quite possible that TOH was cancelled within a year of it's premiere. Which even in Disney's case is practically unheard of for a show without severe external issues. It could certainly be that it was cancelled due to serialization, but it's not as though Disney didn't know the show was a serial when they ordered two seasons of it, even before the premiere. Someone took executive action to cut the show, who we'll never know, why we'll never know, though not fitting the 'Disney Brand' certainly infers that someone didn't like the content. What content, again, we'll never know.

Okay one thing I need to point out: Luz in episode 1 did bring a bundle of tapped together fireworks to school... or as it's better known: A BOMB! Luz probably did need to tone it down a bit and camp obvioussly wasn't that bad given how Vee talks about it. Still the Boiling isles probably was the better solution.

The scene where Luz dies is absolutely heartbreaking everytime I see it.

Magical dommy mommy is not a sentence I ever thought I would hear

33:53 actually in the library episode Luz blushes when both of Amity's siblings wink at her (first at Edric when they invite her to go be mischievous with them and later at Emira when she chooses to stay to help Amity)

21:47 i always took it that king’s lesson was that other people have their own problems to deal with even if they aren’t the exact same as his own

I understand not being totally sold on the owl house season 1 when it was still airing, but idk I was immediately hooked. The episode where Luz and King write a story together couldn't be more on the nose about what the first season was trying to accomplish. It was giving you a bunch of low stakes fun and fluff to get you to become familiar with the personalities, routines and goals of well rounded characters, so that when shit hit the fan you were totally invested. Fantastic season id give it an 8/10.

1:43:32 Regarding the shows queer rep is much more than the sheer amount of queer characters but also the variety among them: Lilith is canonicly aroace, it happens that I am aroace to, our comunity is so invisible that every time we are represented is like a small celebration, plus the popular theory that Gus's dad is to, the amount and diversity of queer characters makes this the gayest show I know, maybe borderline with She-Ra and the princesses of power

Sometimes i can really make a parallel of Eda's curse, not only as a non socially acceptable disease, but as a mental one of that, such as BPD and borderline. As someone diagnosed with both i can really understand the feeling of having to keep up with drinking a "magic elixir" because if i dont i will indeed become a monster, hard to contain, which has hurt loved ones before i learned how to deal with it -just like Eda!-. Having to deal with a curse that quite literally makes you sometimes a danger to others really does make you isolate from society, as you learn that maybe it's best for people if they dont interact with you, as well as seeing how repulsed people -or witches - are by your disorder. I can really see myself in Eda struggles and i really love the representativity, even if not purposefully

I thought Lilith was older than eda. She has that older sister jealous of younger prodigy vibe

In the episode hall of mine, I kind of already knew that the child was inner Bellos it was pretty clear because he had the same purple glow that the inner Willow had.I just thought I should say that.

ToH is just such a feel good and fun show, and I think there's a strong case to be made that Luz and Amity might be the healthiest depiction of a relationship, gay, straight or otherwise, I've ever seen on a tv show. I don't know if Dana had them get together when they did due to the cancellation or if that was always the plan, but I loved actually getting to see their surprisingly mature relationship play out rather than just getting a full series of will they/won't they as is the norm (particularly in animated shows). Season 1 plays out the way it does as a compromise far as I'm aware, things like the magic school were imposed on the show by Disney and not what Dana really wanted to be doing. If she'd gotten free reign, I imagine the show we'd have gotten would be darker and closer to season 2 right from the start. My only qualm with the finale is I wish Amity had been more involved with Luz's side of the plot- she was as much of a lead by the end as Eda or King so it was kinda odd seeing her relegated to the B story sideline. But that's a small nitpick given the circumstances.

The Owl House is amazing, I hope the writers and animators on this project get to continue working on more amazing stories. Watched the entire show when I was 19, and I fucking loved it

"stay away from my Luz" Luz: having gay panic as Amity looks back at her

I've been binging all your unpacking videos after the Moral Orel one. Absolutely love your videos!

I would need my own hour long video to properly respond to how amazing this video is, but I will comment one thing to add on: King's dad was also voiced by Arin Hanson himself

SPOILERS A little addition to belos's backstory, his brother didn't run away, belos murdered him out of disgust for his love for a witch. He was a murderous monster even as a child

Edas Reqiuem is such a beautiful song. I really enjoyed playing it on the piano, and even there it sounded beautiful.

Damn 3 shows that got screwed by networks, might as well do Final Space next,

Magic literalism is SUCH a good term omg - subscribed 😅

I thought the same thing about Belos chipping his ears, but Rebecca Rose posted some clean images of the Hollow Mind portraits on her Twitter account showing that he literally cut them off entirely.

How does this video only have 400 views? This is a really well put together video.

I have been enraptured with this show since 2021, I even made an original species and a fan interpretation of the Coven systems based on the show! I think it'll hold my attention for many more years to come. I hope it sticks around long enough to see me into adulthood.

Luz charges her phone through the portal, more specifically with presumably an outlet on the other side of it; I believe the delapidated house behind the one she grew up in already has power hooked up, which would explain this as we know the portal always opens up at that threshold, though her mother might make reference to turning the power back on to that house in season 3, I cant remember. In one scene you can see her charging cord going through the portal door. I believe it was the same scene where she says "thats enough internet for today" to/with king in the vicinity, but I might be misremembering. I'm pretty sure thats the case, anyway. Been a few months since my last watch through, though I'll try and remember to come back and update this comment either way when i do soon. Cheers!

1:40:00 funny thing is, there’s an exact parallel to this, the french show Wakfu. Seasons 1 and 2 were DEMANDED to be episodic by the french channel and this they had to space out the plot with “filler” and only got as much support until then. However since the creators run a multimedia company focused on MMOs, they managed to squeeze in themselves a third season picked by Netflix with a season 2.5 connecting it and this year will release their crowdfunded season 4 and lemme tell ya, the channel’s limitations really show when you contrast the plot’s writting to the “filler’s”. Season 3 in particular almost giving me tonnal whiplash.

Omg so excited that you popped up in my feed! I loved your Moral Orel analysis so this is such a great surprise!

This was one of the shows made me realise that i am a lesbian (one of the others being kill la kill, another is RWBY). It was alot harder hitting then i thought it would be.

I like to believe the covens are metaphors for college degrees

1:18:11 #neverforgetsteve I fucking love you for this. Never forget Steve. I remember when the show was still airing and we didn’t have a face reveal for this dude yet I just called all the coven scouts “the steves” 😂 I have no idea why. But I did.. and since I found your channel and talking about one of my favorite shows, that was a big comfort. I’m now subscribed.

The best part about gay cartoons is the music and getting to play it for yourself but the second best part is easily Mero's Unpacking of them

There are several common synchronization voice actors between The Owl House and other Disney cartoon series. Wendy Malick is the voice of Edalyn Clawthorne in The Owl House but also the voice of Principal Folsom in Cornelius Fillmore. Mae Whitman is the voice of Amity Blight in The Owl House but also the voice of Robin Spencer in Cornelius Fillmore and the voice of Rose in American Dragon. But I can see even more analogies and parallels to other Disney cartoon series. And in this case I mean Sabrina's Secret Life, the successor of Sabrina the animated series. Because especially in the beginning Amity is like Cassandra, Edalyn is like Aunt Zelda, Lilith is like Aunt Hilda and King the Demon dog is like Salem the cat. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The show does actually show how she keeps her phone charged, though you may mention 5hat when we get to that episode. Also of note when she first learns the light glyph, its notably on a phone screen, a surface that ties in to the in between reflection realm, notably where the person capable of teach her that rune resides and has been watching from.

The saddest thing about Flapjack's sacrifice is a similar one probably inspired Phillip to feed on them

As a person from Connecticut. Relate table.

I've been watching your videos for a while now, stumbled on the Moral Oral video a while back, and I love them. You, Sara z, and Frightranker are all reasons I'm stepping into content creation, and yes I agree with her, since I did also grow up in Connecticut and now raising my own child in Connecticut, "the supernatural" feeling that New England gives totally a "Forever Halloween" vibe. So yeah, I just wanted to say Thank You, thats all.

Not to get super Personnal, but I don't really fall into any minority groups at all, but I do have really bad ADHD. Needless to say, seeing a main character who(while never stated in story) very clearly is ADHD as fuck but not a complete stereotype or joke was really amazing and eye opening. I get it now: representation is a hell of a drug.

Those 2 hours are gonna be good

this video was so perfectly made, im so glad that you actually went into detail on aspects of the show rather than just summarized the plot like a lot of other people do… genuinely one of my favorite owl house videos ever, im so glad youtube recommended this to me and i can’t wait to watch more from you!

What a beautiful and well-done summary/part analysis video for a gorgeously done show! The way you tackled each season and really got to the core messages and themes they all explored with quite the cast of characters was great. It isn't easy for any creation to live on and be as talked about, but those who manage to just do that are honestly impressive feats. I liked watching your Infinity Train Unpacking video and was quite surprised but joyful to see you do one about the owl house too, so I guess all I'm trying to say is thank you for making it.

Once again an impressive unpacking. I honestly love these and hope you can find amazing shows. I used your Unpacking of Moral Oral for a panel on Animation. I am trying to find other shows similar to this

The owl house, amphibia, helluva boss,and dead end paranormal park reminded me why I love animation

this series was one of the best i saw. thanks for the video!

i loved this video, thank you so much!

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

Your videos are a pleasure to watch. The time and effort you put in them are a blessing. Glad I found your channel!

such a good video. i especially love the analysis of the latter half of s2 and its real-world parallels. i think this show is definitely solid enough where the video could be made up of a little more analysis and less summary, as the video does feel a bit summary heavy (which gets a bit boring when youve seen the show and know the scenes youre talking about -- but if this video is intended for audiences that arent quite familiar with the show, its actually really solid & provides a lot of important context for the uninitiated. though i also understand not wanting the video to be understandable by those who havent seen the show without it being any longer than it already is. this one's pretty hefty!) all in all, the editing, script, music, are all very well done! bravo!

I love this show so much. I discovered it by accident during it's 1 season and pretty much immediately fell in love with the world and characters. Fantasy was always my thing and I really related to Luz's struggles with fitting in and being stuck in your fantasies. The years when TOH was on TV were very difficult for me and this show comforted me in many ways during the worst days. I began to be more open with my interests and made more friends. This cartoon also made me more interested in making my own fantasy story that I hope I can make into cartoon someday. Yeah, this witch gay show means a lot to me and it's nice to come back to all my fav moments. Thank you for this amazing video. I loved it

The video is great - the montage and storytelling, I'm amazed

46:26 Steve actually was introduced in the first season, in the Lilith and Eda search for the relict episode

Hell yea OWL HOUSE!!! Home of my awakening

Love your unpackings

Gone but not forgotten

Seeing how many corrections for the video are in the comments I'm laughing

Luz lost contact with the human world and COULDN'T contact the human world anymore, let alone her mother after she broke the door. Love the video.

19:54 Uh... well. Honestly, I'm in the same boat. ^^; 33yr old lady that won't shut up about how great this show is. You just recognize a good show when you see it. (And I also had the same initial reaction to season 1. Friends suggested the show to me, I watched the first few episodes sparingly, and then when I got to the season finale I was hooked! And it only got better from there.)

I was waiting for this for a while and you delivered!! Great job!! My favorite video of yours since moral orel

49:47 the purple highlight foreshadowing the hair change. And blushes mean crushes!

2 hour long owl house video? Just what I needed

All praise to the owl house, but also praised to Alex H and Gravity falls- "It has the most amount of tags, beating Gravity falls- granted that show has been off the air for seven years" that implies it had the most tags for seven CONSECUTIVE years and that's AFTER it was canceled, not even including the 4.5 years it ran. His work on Gravity falls and The Owl House is truly unforgettable.

Thank you for doing this video. The owl house and gravity falls are my 2 favourite Disney series

1:45:25 witchunter.. *brother* , not friend. A brother who Belos murdered.

This show is a work of art, and it deserved more time to fully flesh out its story. I'm so glad I was able to experience its beauty

Really well made video! TOH is one of my favourite series. Wish we could have had more time dedicated to more episodic elements to chill with our characters in S2 and especially S3. The team did so well with what they had though. Came out really well despite the setbacks. Screw Disney.

Looooveee the effort put in to this video, I am a huge fan of the owl house and those who sing its praises!! A few minor details first(some people have already mentioned): lilith is the oldest! Also, luz didn’t free the basilisks, they escaped themselves and Vee was able to take Luz’s place right within a few minutes of her absence in the first episode. Another thing I think is important about Belos, and will be long: I think he did have unconditional love and that his brother didn’t abandon him, he just late hate and rage takeover and chosen to reject it, unlike Luz who embraces those around her, to a fault. I think it’s implied that Caleb (his brother) can be referenced from Hunter and the previous Grimwalkers. Hunter and the others always end up going against Philip because they knew it was wrong and they cared about others, rather than their mission/purpose. The brothers’ bond and reason they split apart can be detailed in Hollow Mind in the background (ah I remember hyper analyzing those paintings when it first dropped). Caleb and Philip grew up as witch hunters in the puritan times. They were “lured” by a witch, probably with the intent on killing her, until the allure of the Boiling Isles sways Caleb’s mind/perspective. Meanwhile philip has always been a sniveling little freak, and got pissed especially when he realizes Caleb and the witch (Evelyn, who is implied to be a Clawthorne) fall in love and presumably conceive a child. There was also a point where philip, i think before he finds out about his nibling to be, started drawing glyphs on himself not to cure his (deserved) broken nose, but to use the power to do what he came there for. One of the paintings you see he has one of his outbursts after inhaling palismen and Caleb hugs him to pull him out of it. So what does Philly boy do once his brother shows off his wife, Caleb mistakenly thinking they had found the way to mend their rift? He K*LLS HIM. And not even like an out of control thing, he did it with a knife and ran off like a coward as Evelyn went after him. I think it’s implied when Luz and Lilith meet him in the past, he had already m*rd*red his brother, rather than being abandoned. I do believe this aspect of the background was an important one missed in your fantastic video and to sort of make belos truly unredeemable because like you said, he was always manipulative, he was just using a facade to shield it. The guy who does that to his older brother just because he fell in love with an “undesirable” or whatever has self-inflicted trauma drawn on by backwards hatred. Anyways i just finished the video and love love loved it. Can’t wait to watch the others mentioned from the comments (Moral Oral??? Let’s go!!) thanks so much for the review of one of my top 3 fave shows ever :)

17:37 Older sister I'm pretty sure, eda just looks 60 or so cos of the curse aging her body faster than normal

Babe wake up, another Meromorphic vid dropped!!!

Slight side tangent, can we stop acting confused when sapphic/gay relationships have kids? Like, this is a thing irl it's not that fantastical to imagine that there's a magical version of IVF or some other fertility treatment. We might even see in our lifetimes two afab or amab people be able to have children together (we already have children with three bio parent's dna one providing the mitochondrial dna and the other two providing chromosomal dna).

I would love to see an analysis of Amphibia!

Collector is, been, and always will be my favorite character.

My Goat, Let's fucking go

Aye, early for once! Love your stuff my friend, keep it up!

44:00-1:59:59 I love 💕💗the fan comics !

I watched the entire thing no speeding up 🎉🎉

1:38:50 I think it´s a pretty important distinction that she didn´t leave, King threw her into the door with his shout. She would have stayed (and probably died) with the isles. I think that is important to the flaws of her character

ARIN HANSEN IS IN OWL HOUSE HUH???

16:46 -There is a moment in the show where it literally shows Luz lying next to a phone connected to a jar of something like "electric bees")) 21:42 - Most likely, something like “If you are taken seriously, your actions can have serious consequences”...

I like unpacking video. Hope you also unpack Teen Titans and controversial way it ended

Great video

Luz and amity are just so fucking adorable

A+ video aside from the trump jump scare. XD Love TOH, such an amazing show Disney didn't deserve.

1:03:58 I was waiting until he was talk about my favourite episode

To be fair new Duck Tales are in fact really really good

On Eda's curse disability: A KZfaqr by the name of Oakwyrm has an awesome video talking about disability in The Owl House, would definitely recommend. He has a bunch of really good videos about disability, neurodivergence, and queerness in shows in general too.

I still find it funny that out of the 5 main kids, only Gus hasn’t been confirmed to be lgbtq+

the main character luz go through so much physically and mentally that we can relate to her because it's something that we are going through today like in part of the video you said that she chose to stay and arive at her destination but now we can see as a audience that the director wanted luz to go through something more deep than any other Disney movie and show the journey to be a hero not the destination and to have this character learn what means that its not the destination it is the journey that you go on that learn a lot from even though the journey will be difficult physically but most importantly mentally and thats why i understand why the series was cancelled early but we both know that this series and luz is not over actually let me rephrase that we both know that the journey of the series and the journey of the protagonist luz is not over and the journey of this series and the characters is only the beginning. I believe we will them again because of the questions that need answering and from the large fan base that is growing everyday from fan art, fan animations and fan comics

yall, i just relized king is literally the oldest character of the show, he was in that egg before the titan died and before belos came to the demon realm

the three episodes we got for s3 make me happy we got a conclusion, but also even more sad bc they so clearly show the potential a full s3 would've had

Sorry to be that guy, but Lilith is actually the older sister. I couldn't help it after hearing younger sister a lot.

Bro on his first watch: This is... I mean it's cute I guessssWHAT THE FUCK DID I MISS!?!?!?

and in the midst of my hyperfixation, thank you

In terms of bisexual main characters, it's pretty common knowledge that Korra (from avatars Legend of Korra) was the first big step for showing queer representation on kids animated television, and she is indeed bi. I know many people feel the show didn't do enough and that it doesn't count because Korra doesn't show enough interest in women before the very end, but it's confirmed outside of the text that the intent was there earlier and was being pushed for and couldn't have been showed better than it was due largely to that being suppressed on purpose (and also like, Korra's entire thing as a character is having a hard time introspecting and understanding herself and struggling to connect to others and find the love she wants, so while it was unexpected, it made sense to me. Plus there are signs of intimacy you just don't see anywhere else with her character, like writing to Asami even at her lowest point where she couldn't bring herself to reach out and seek connection anywhere else) Again it's pretty common knowledge that the intent was for her to be bi even though it's something the viewer can choose to ignore or can find executed poorly within the text, so I feel that she's worth mentioning, and that if the video includes mentioning Luz as the first without knowing that I'd question the authority on the subject of representing queerness in media. It's practically unavoidable to know about Korrasami and a lot of tOH fanart has crossovers and references to that pairing

Hmm.. This and the moral orel vid together. I like your channel.

KZfaq auto played and I was confused thinking Coffeezilla was talking about the owl house

"Outright shitty" No one was expecting that one

Actually, Eda is younger than Lilith, but Eda is stronger which causes Lilith to place a curse on her. Lilith only looks younger because the curse has worn Eda down.
