The Owl House S01 E18 "Agony of a Witch" Reaction

[@danielmanzano3287]

"And how pathetic are you, that you can't beat me at my worst" is one of the best lines I've ever heard, so brutal.

[@YoshiPotter88]

SAME! I love this line so much when I first heard it I got excited but also I got goosebumps as well like WOW what a line!

[@alyciadweeb]

The voice actress delivered it so perfectly, too! Definite goosebumps!

[@maxdon2001]

I love that line!

[@isaacstevenson2960]

One of my favorite lines in any show period.

[@Poisonouscosmic]

“Then why were you *SO* *EASY* TO CURSE!?" Eda: was literally sleeping

[@alyciadweeb]

Omg this has me cackling 🤣🤣

[@watertommyz]

It actually makes me sadder...Eda was in a place of trust, and comfort. That she trusted and loved you Lilith. 😭😭

[@troubaderring-do9640]

"Fun" Fact: The fight takes place at sunset. Luz gets home at dawn. She walked alone across the Boiling Isles through the night.

Oh my god 🥺🥺

That also means she probably hasn’t slept in 24 hours probably longer. Girl has gone through so much stress and she still soldiers on.

[@Omnimegas]

that fight between eda and lilith is arguably the best sequence in this show. spencer wan popped off with the animation, the back-and-forth dialogue between the two was spectacular, it was *impossible* not to be emotionally invested throughout

[@BilgeRadić]

It WAS the best sequence in this show. Then season 2 happened

[@Kaitouace2750]

That genuine yell when Lilith grabbed Owlbert was so good lol.

[@alyciadweeb]

It was the final straw for me 😂

[@itzmehDevi]

"Maybe it is the curse..but then how pathetic are u..that u can't best me at my worst" Still one my fav lines from the show :D

[@donovan802]

“Then why were you SO EASY TO CURSE?!” It was at this point in the show that the fandom displayed TREMENDOUS hatred towards Lilith

[@FlyingPotatoChickens]

that week when all of owltwt had icons with lilith’s face crossed out was hilarious

[@twist58]

The words that echoed in my mind when that revelation was uttered: “Oh no, you did NOT!”

[@jingl3ball]

“Then why were you so easy to curse” um......maybe because she was sleeping???? 😴😴

[@ArkadiBolschek]

Weird, right?

Luz: this girl is ready for trauma Ep.18: aight bet

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

This episode was by far the best “anime fight” style in cartoon history 😁 also I was shocked when I first time watching the series to never guess Lilith be the main reason of Eda’s curse.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

I love that this battle shows how much both Lily and Eda were holding back in episode 5. They weren’t serious at all then. And again, Spencer Wan’s incredible animation.

[@kinghijinx5892]

This where things start getting serious. Serious And very sad. No joke, I cry everytime Eda sacrafices herself to save Luz. Especially the "thank you for being in my life" line. Also the Eda vs Lillith is an awesome visual spectacle and is one of the best action scenes in the show. For the question, I don't know who I really thought might have cursed Eda, but I dont think it was Lillith. I do remember being supprised at that reveal.

[@jimballard1186]

"I'm going away, and I don't know if I can bounce back this time" is a gut-wrenching line all on its own, but Wendy Malick's delivery twists the knife. I'm getting moist-eyed just remembering it.

[@wtimmins]

Eda's curse and living with it and potions and then possibly ending is such a powerful metaphor for a bunch of real things.

[@threeguysandagirlinabeachhouse]

One of my favorite episodes in animation history, this episode is a masterpiece. I hope you like it!

[@cosmotv5297]

Eli... hello. I agree tho!

[@bluebelleisabelle]

I expect Dana to pay for my therapy after this episode bsjsjdjd /j The witches dual between Eda and Lilith is incredible, and I looked forward to watching you react to this episode :D I look forward to your next reaction as always !!

[@alyciadweeb]

LOL same girl! I need to speak to someone after this! 🤣 Thanks for watching, as always 🥺❤️

[@lp6195]

I think the photo of young Lilith in round glasses from the previous episode provided a big hint that Lilith cursed Eda, but the line delivery in this episode is just so unexpected and hits so hard. Also, Luz's return to the Owl House post fight really takes on another layer when, as another reactor pointed out, the fight was in the evening, and Luz arrives home as Hooty's waking up, meaning she walked home all night, by herself, right after losing Eda. Also also, it's amazing to see your reaction to Lilith during the fight! I think it really captures how we all felt as we went from hoping Eda and Lily could patch up their relationship to finding Lilith's actions irredeemable. Also also also, is that Gee Gee?! I didn't realize he appeared so soon!

[@BlahCraft1]

From here on out, there are "no filler episodes". It is a nonstop rollercoaster of emotions, and you will love the ride.

[@AnimaMandala]

This episode was the turning point for the series, more in line with what Dana originally envisioned. Season 1 was all about laying down the ground work and getting the characters to a point where they can handle higher-stakes challenges. Writing at its BEST!

[@phousefilms]

Love your reaction to Emperor Belos(noticed what he was breaking open to empower himself?)saying "I know...". And Lillith's revelation! Can't wait for the finale!

[@Glaceonmon]

the answers to all of the questions that you asked at the end, still have yet to be answered as of right now! sooo, it'll be fun to go back through all the seasons with fresh eyes to see if we may have missed something..

[@haldon12]

The reveal really took me by surprise, I think because the visuals only make sense in hind-sight. I think that's the sign of a well-crafted surprise reveal - not that there are no hints, but that the hints are unclear enough that they only make sense when you know what they are building towards. That's both easier and harder in animation - easier because you can bury the lead more, but harder because it's challenging not to cheat and make a reveal impossible to guess.

[@brianperkins2527]

This is one of those shows on par with the amazing writing in Gravity Falls. When this show ends I am going to be so sad. Everyone and everything in this show is fantastic.

[@chefcircuit5392]

Owl house fans: I’m ready! I’m ready! Agony of a witch: No you ain’t!

[@kaylinswrld]

This is an episode that made me cry. Because of the hatred that Lilith displayed for Edalyn not only as a person but as a sister who is supposed to be loving and caring.

[@watertommyz]

It especially hurts knowing just how much it really messed up Edas relationships with everyone...and what sucks is it how it even happens.

[@kaylinswrld]

@@watertommyz agree

[@meistermiller]

I love the depth and complexity of this show. The characters are phenomenal, and the plot is amazing. Only just found your channel, but dying to see your reaction to the next episode... and then Season 2 after that :3

[@malphone7940]

They must haves used all their budget on that one fight because damn is it glorious.

[@zoeholmes4939]

Also the scene at the end with King going over to Luz, only Luz has a shadow, showing how alone she feels in that moment :'(

[@my_name_is_enzo_gabriel9525]

Let's all thank Spencer wan and the crews for the amazing animation in this episode

[@lulystalgianature2968]

Ugh! Late again. Friday and weekends are so horribly busy for me. But we feel you Alicia. This episode was WAY too intense. And it makes you realize that whenever there's a dance or a fight, expect the animation to be... EPIC!

[@my_name_is_enzo_gabriel9525]

Dude after watching s2 ep 12 this episode hits so different now

[@amidoshi03]

Right!!!!

[@thefirstone4864]

Yeah that's some lighthearted and wholesome content.

[@barkingmonkee]

In retrospect I think I should have seen it coming that Lilith was the source of the curse, nonetheless I was fully blindsided. Also, you're right- on rewatching the biggest thing that stands out to me, even more than the epic animation of the Lilith/Eda fight, is how tight the writing is. When you reflect on it, Dana packed a very impressive amount of storytelling into one standard length episode.

[@CommandConfirmed]

I did not expect it one bit. But looking back it made sense because the show was well written. The way Lilith was worried about the curse and genuinely wanted to remove it points to her guilt about cursing her to begin with.

[@punkypony5165]

When this episode first aired I didn't predict Lilith was responsible for the curse.

[@watertommyz]

This, this is the episode that hurt me...I had my doubts about Lilith, but once she admitted to cursing Eda, I was like angry and hurt all at once, and felt so bad for Eda. The writing and payoff of this episode was so good and to top it off with the fight scene....so good.

[@FoxFace804]

When I was watching this when it came out I thought that THIS was the season final. I was so happy the following week when the actual final came out 😂

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

lol, I remember first time I saw this, I said the same thing: “Nooo! Not Owl-Bert!

[@jamesanimations4885]

"I hate my dumb hart for making me feel things"

[@tadcooper9733]

God, this episode went so goddamn hard.

[@donathan5175]

I had an assumption that Lilith was the one who cursed Eda, there was some dialogue between them that made her look so guilty now that I look back at old episodes like “Covention”. Another big point was that the one who cursed Eda, I just assumed had to be close to her already and Eda didn’t have a sister with such a important antagonistic role for nothing. Other than that, I love your work! Keep doing amazing! Have a great day, night, year whicheva!

[@twist58]

Enjoy this ride before the season finale! This is a fight sequence with a stunning revelation. And what a cliffhanger!

[@my_name_is_enzo_gabriel9525]

Answer about ur Question .... I think most of the fandom including me had the feeling that it was Lilith who cursed eda year we're still shocked during the reveal

[@NoahST07]

I'm an adult... but I always cry at the end of this episode.

[@martinratagris]

I really enjoyed this reaction. I agree that the animation, writing and direction is very well done in this series and it is very obvious in this episode. We already got some great fragments in earlier episodes, from the animation of the first time Luz did magic or the first fight between Eda and Lilith but this episode hits so much harder because it builds on previous chapters. We have know of Eda's curse from a long time and we also knew that it was getting worst. And while we were only introduced to him, the Emperor's precense was felt all the way from the introduction of covens. I wonder if it was obvious Emperor Belos sort of ate a palisman or if the giant heart sort of overshadowed that.

[@Sherrilite]

holy shit I remember your gravity falls reactions and now I'm back lmao, glad you're still as lovely as before

[@isaacstevenson2960]

Normally I’m really quick to predict things so I had a feeling deep down that Lilith cursed Eda but just from the way she said it made my jaw drop. To this day that line still echoes in the back of my mind.

[@amidoshi03]

Oh man! This episode! Time to get some tissues ready ❤️ Watching this after the latest episode makes me realise so much! How much one can change, a bunch of lore, and plot points! And let's just say, Hooty and Lilith have a.....complicated relationship. I remember after this episode how almost everyone wanted to cancel Lilith. And I did too (I watched the finale in one sitting, but I needed a moment after this to cry and recover, and I HATED her). I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this show is spectacular. Animation, writing, voice acting, everything!!! I did not see Lilith being the one to curse her from a mile away. I thought maybe it was something else or something, but Lilith!? Nope.

[@CaptainSpycrab]

I actually got _spoiled_ on Lilith as the curser. One of the first things I saw of this show was a 'best of Lilith' compilation that I clicked on out of curiosity that literally opened with the 'why were you so easy to curse' line.

[@mild1natio2]

Almost every episode in season 2 is better than almost every episode in season 1

Man, this show is wild. It felt off to me for the first few episodes. I found it disappointing, because I was a huge Gravity Falls fan. But by Grom, I was hooked, and this episode put it over the top to being a contender for my favorite show.

[@rockwizard5]

I hope you get to amphibia sometime after TOH because it has to be my favourite ongoing show right now and toh and amphibia are both nearing their end

[@Oonagh-e3i]

Commenting this again. If you like this show, I definitely recommend she-ra and the princesses of power! It's personally my favourite animated show! Also, as heartbreaking as this episode is, I love it so much! I didn't suspect Lilith would be the one to curse Eda!

[@wtimmins]

OMG She-Ra is one of the best shows ever. Definitely.

[@Oonagh-e3i]

@@wtimmins THANK YOU! I AGREE.

[@tenmark7055]

Lilith using Luz as bait, actually putting her life in danger was more unforgivable than the curse itself (and keeping it a secret for 20 years). Using a threat against a child to take down the mentor/mother figure... Sorry, to me that soul is so damaged that I just cant believe she is redeemable... but hey, this is Disney, right? The sisters will sing a song, do a soul-gaze and everything will be forgiven (Spizzzt - thats me spitting my disgust. Sorry, sorry!). Lets see how Dana gets past this!

[@racermigs1]

This reminded me of Book 1 Episode 8 of Infinity Train.

[@King-tk5bg]

I knew Lilith cursed Eda because EdDaWiz spoiled it for me. I was watching his reactions to Amphibia, but he could never stop talking about Lilith. I don't think he's done already, I expect to hear it again. But while I was spoiled about this specific part, I didn't know anything else about the show, and his rant made me curious about it. So it was sort of a good thing anyway.

[@brianmannell9754]

Even though I felt like the show was tailor-made for you, I sort of feel you on the "I like the characters, and this is fun, but there has to be more to this show, right?" bit for most of season 1. Maybe it could've used more/stronger hints of the over-arching story, maybe an appearance from Belos. That said... That Belos reveal in the throne room... The imagery of that scene was nuts, right? lol I'm glad the over-arching narrative is revealing itself more now. Typical super-power bad guy at the top kind of thing, but Belos' character and the lore presented just adds so many layers of narrative mystery and intrigue to me. You can tell there's so much more beneath the surface in the story to explore. Such a great penultimate episode. :)

[@YoshiPotter88]

This whole episode was EPIC and pretty upsetting I was not sure how to feel about this one I was pretty emotional but I will say I would love to have Hooty as my body guard holy cow! (By the way you will slowly start to like Lilith) and Kikimora HECK NO She is horrible she's like Umbridge from Harry Potter, and also you might want some tissues for the next one it will get wild!

After you watch The Owl House, you should definitely watch Amphibia, too. It’s also super good and also more intense than you would think if you watched the first episode, just like TOH. You should also watch Arcane, that show is pure incredible.

Spoilers for why Lilith was so mad at Eda as to curse her: She wasn't mad. Her family was divided by an authoritarian leader who is also the head of a cult, teaching his followers that it's okay to hurt others to get what you want. If you remember the year this show came out, it's pretty on the nose.

[@eazolan]

And this is what bugs me the most about the show. They didn't put much work into the previous episodes, then actually put some effort into the last two. It's just lazy writing. They just showed us how good they can make it!
