So apparently there was a lot of studio interference in the first half of season 1 which is why it was meh.

My personal favorite episode is Understanding Willow. They could have easily done an episode where Willow and Luz go into Amity’s mind and had us learn about her from her memories directly, but instead they developed Amity through her reactions to Willow’s memories and I love it so much.

[@isaacstevenson2960]

I also really respect the fact that although Willow is exceptive of Amity’s apology and her genuine effort to explain what happened an fix things, she still doesn’t 100% forgive her yet. Sometimes even when you explained what really happened and make a genuine effort to fix things, your actions can sometimes never be 100% forgiven, but it’s always important to know that apologizing and making things right to prove that you’ve changed is always the best place to start. I’ve always personally taken that message to heart.

[@rosecandy8922]

Hot take: I found "Understanding Willow" more emotional than "Agony of a witch". I think it's because I watched the show on Disney + instead of having to wait.

[@anidleteen]

Me too, and I think for the same reason Im sure if i had to wait a week to find out, I would be thinking of AOW more often and get emotional But I could go straight to the next episode and feel relief quickly

Yeah I think that's defintley a Disney+ thing, since it was almost depressing to wait an entire weak after agony of a witch.

[@porchprophet1641]

i was one who had to wait a week in between episodes, very active in the fandom, and let me tell you it is SUCH a different experience to have to wait 7 whole days after agony of a witch for the finale, especially after waiting 7 days for agony of a witch after an upbeat episode like wing it like witches. the suspense build-up after AOAW made it feel much more... i dont know? hurting? it just made everything a lot more packed with emotion. i don’t think someone who watched it on disney+ would get the same experience, which could also be pointed out as a flaw *shrug*

[@47ratsinahoodie]

One of my favorite lines in TOH is when Amity calls Luz a bully in Lost in Language. Like you said about Luz in A Lying With and a Warden, Luz's weirdness can get out of control. Although Luz does start to tone that aspect of herself down, the Boiling Isles seem to fuel her spontaneity and, like her weirdness, she doesn't see how that affects people. I think that moment really helps Luz recognize others' feelings. In I Was a Teenage Abomination and Covention, Luz doesn't show too much consideration for how her actions affect Amity but in Wing it Like Witches, Luz does seem to come to the realization that she needs to consider others more a bit faster. At least, that's what it seemed like to me. Overall, I just really liked that line from Amity. When we have optimistic and spontaneous leads, we never really have them shown to us in much of a negative light but here, Luz straight up gets called a bully.

[@ShinyGaara65]

I...never thought about the pilot like that. I personally figured those examples are the outliers and no one's been able to either relate to her or rein her in. But now that I think about it...the pilot was a curveball. But not on us. On the executives. They wanted a "weird is good" message, they got it. And then after getting greenlit, they had nowhere to go but up and to build the show they REALLY wanted. :) However I do agree with your points. This was a good vid, Pat. Glad to see you being real and real happy.

[@sophisticatedPJs]

Lost in Language was one of my favorites mainly because of how well it expanded on Amity's character, background, and relationships with the people around her. It made for a really good look at a character who's struggling with her home life without making it a melodramatic sob story, as a lot of shows tend to do with "the mean girl turned good". They never tried to rush or force her development in this episode which was incredibly important I believe. Everything's really grounded and the character interactions just flow naturally and seamlessly, aside from of course setting up one of my favorite animated relationships of all time. It's the episode that made me start to really root for these characters, and turned amity from just okay, to an absolute gem of a character that a lot of people can relate to.

[@sadlobster1]

Speaking of the whole "Luz gets a hefty taste of reality while in a fantasy world thing;" I can kind of see where you're coming from, Finn. Not every realm of fantastical adventure is going to be like that of Hogwarts but there's still some wonder to be found. While I AM a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, D&D and classical mythologies of all kinds; the only other show I can think of that has themes near similar to Owl House is that of ABC's Once Upon A Time. While the series DID feature sorcery and fairy tale figures, it also had them face off against real world issues like relationship issues, addictions (to magic mostly,) the importance of family and what true love REALLY means. What's ironic is the fact that (for those unaware) the series mostly takes place within the Human World, specifically in a town in Maine called Storybrooke

[@Lillyluvsanime]

So, the thing with the first few episodes being kinda surface and then the story getting stronger as you move further along in the show is pretty common lately with animated series, particularly those with a young audience in mind. They start out episodic, introducing you fairly gently to the characters, environment and world systems with a few stand alone adventures, ones that don't necessarily connect one to the next and watching them out of order doesn't generally affect the viewing. It gives you the chance to sort of wade into that world, rather than diving in head first. Throughout these more minor adventures, bits of crucial information get dropped here and there that serve as the first few pieces of the whole plot puzzle. When those pieces start coming together is when you start seeing the story becom more connected and serial (at this point viewing order really does matter) and each episode is more significant to the overall story arc. Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Amphibia and Gravity Falls have all done the same thing (I mean, Steven discovers his powers when eating an ice cream sandwich... not a SUPER dynamic intro, but it helps you get to know the characters). Minor adventures that don't really get referenced until later on when the overarcing story is established, and the longer the lead characters stay in their setting, the more they become entangled in the story of the world they got dropped into. So, it's sort of like if you go away on vacation to another country, you're more likely to just see the surface, touristy things and one day doesn't really connect to the next because you're trying to experience as much of the environment as you can, but if you decide to live there longterm, you not only become more familiar with the environment and the people around you, you become part of the story of that place more and more the longer you stay there.

I’m also glad that things are gonna get better for Willow and Amity. I’ve just been waiting for an episode like this for a long time. And my least favorite episode is Once Upon a Swap. It’s just a generic body swap episode with nothing more to it.

My first impression of the old house was like "help" in 1 word the more detailed version is "i came here for the bestiary and i don't know what anything is, help" because i have gotten there for the bestiary and i have readed the freaking whole the witcher bestiary and i was lost about the particular version of the griffin and the cutish version of the demons wich i have seen particulary in nowhere else.

[@sevenequalsoneheart6710]

Covention was my favorite episode because the Emperor's Coven reminded me of Pokémon Gens 3, 4, and 6's Pokémon Contests and Pokémon Showcases which in my opinion were the best Gens of the anime because of how pokemon could utilize their moves and abilities in ways that the normal battles couldn't fully utilize, even to the point where the move adapts to the respect pokemon's physical Features like skitty using Double Slap with its tail rather than it's paws for example.

All I think I can say is I love cartoon reviews or just reviews in general! Sometimes it tells me the parts where I missed good stuff and the meanings that I never would've known and appreciated more if it werent for people's reviews. So far my favorite new cartoons rn is Amphibia and the Owl house,they're not perfect but it's still precious to me even though alot of teens my age dont usually like cartoons cause they see it more as childish and would be a bit judged by watching cartoons because of some adults seeing cartoons only as goofy and useless. I dont have anything against other teens liking different things but I just wish they'd give these types of stuff a chance.

[@oatatas]

12:50 oh my god is that the Wizard101 title screen music? That was not something I was expecting.

[@oatatas]

Off memory, in order, the Wizard101 music he used was: Intro music, Wizard City battle music, ravenwood music 1, Wizard City music 1-3, Haunted/Dark cave theme, ravenwood music 2, Also there was some dragonspyre music in there somewhere

[@TheThunderBat]

My fav episode hands down has got to be Agony of a witch, I got super emotional with that one. It really shows how much Eda has come to love Luz.

[@cristyflaherty4902]

I agree on all of you best and most of the worst. Grom and the finale are definitely my favorite episodes. I agree that the show got better as it went on. I do like the pilot but agree the other episodes were better. I can agree with you on Luz in the pilot taking it to far with the things like fireworks and snakes, but the message about weird being good is a really great message(I may or may not be one of those people who can be weird) but as long as it doesn't go to far like Luz's projects(like you said about balance). I am definitely like Luz minus how far she took her projects and I absolutely love King because he is hilarious and I swear he is Bill Cipher's new form.

[@DwarfDaddy]

Personally I thought the body swap episode was worse but I definitely agree with you on pilot Luz vs rest of the series Luz. The Warden was still enjoyable character though and I hate how little screen time he got.

[@mobchao]

How could the body swap episode have been great? Easy. Luz, being in Eda’s body, learns about the hardships Eda has to go through being cursed after thinking Eda just doesn’t care or is being lazy. That is a more serious way that could have further developed their relationship.

[@theofficalsilentraven]

Holy shit you right-

[@thekrillsterex628]

I know people love the “gay” but honestly if there was any relatable character... it’s admity for me. She’s been conformed all her life and in finding something new and a little strange to her. She starts to open up more and more as luz tugs at her heartstrings. And I like how she has to get over it little by little as It goes on. And it really shows even in later episodes. Showing who she really wants to be. Also the fear of getting rejected... is too relatable. And then of course.... even the gay crush panic. I’ve had that so many times it’s not even funny. And it isn’t always gay panic. It’s straight panic.. ( or bi panic) or panic in general as she’s just a little scared of her crush/ secret getting out.

[@PmpknHead]

The best thing about Lying Witch and a Warden was the wardens design and animation. I could rewatch that for hours

[@greatdevourskeleton7685]

i am not sure if you watched it but there was a show called little witch academia that is similar to the owl house in some ways

[@IamSamisMe]

I totally forgot that this vid was originally 10 words or less with the cool s1 review

[@anidleteen]

Enchanting Grom Fright is my favourite, not just because of the gay But because the fears just build so much for the characters, especially the Blight siblings I can (and have) written essays analysing the fears and how they affect the siblings, where they stem from, and what it truly means etc

[@lextatertotsfromhell7673]

Ok, but it’s mostly because of the gay, let’s be real

[@txrizzy3014]

"and if the creators play their cards right, season two can only go uphill from here" oh, boy, is finn in for a treat...

[@greaterstacks1975]

What editing software do use. Your videos are so fun and expressive

[@AJponyAPschannel]

The hype of the season two of owl house is real!!!! 😱 🥰 Hopefully we’ll get them bisexual witches 🤩

[@twist_ending7545]

Sapphic witches. Please don't erase Amity's sexuality.

[@sadlobster1]

If there was any episode of this season that I disliked, it would have to be Once Upon A Swap. Not only has the silly "walk a mile in my shoes" trope been done to death but in the end, NO ONE but Luz seemed to have learned a lesson. Furthermore, the episode would've worked so much better if it went about like THIS! Instead of the switches we got; Luz would be in King's body, Eda would be in Luz's and King would be in Eda's body. Through this roster, Luz would learn that being such a "cute little guy" isn't all it's cracked up to be. In Eda's body; King would (obviously) abuse his newfound powers, thus leading to him getting in trouble with Lilith. He'd also find a way to try and force people to buy things at the stand. As for Eda, she'd end up meeting with Boscha and her fellow bullies; just like King did in the original story of the episode. Only instead of challenging them to a race, Eda would try to blast them with magic; only to discover that she can't channel her powers through a human. In the end, the three of them would ultimately learn just how difficult each of their lives were and instead of having ONE person clean Hooty...they'd ALL do it. One more thing, instead of them keeping their original voices; anytime the trio would speak, they'd sound exactly like the bodies they're in. Just imagine hearing King's exclamations of "might" with Eda's or hearing Eda try to sound intimidating with Luz's

[@kingcamelot1395]

You make valid points, but this episode gave the fandom Kuz, which makes it "okay" in my books. I'm not over my GF phase, okay?

[@kalebthecreator0613]

Even when Finn gets really angry he still sounds kinda calm.

[@bee458]

When you said "mity confirmed" I suddenly understood why the twins call her mittens

[@YariZArts]

Haha love the addition of wizard 101 music in the background. I was like....wait a second... haha

[@erika-paigehutch3930]

Grom is the best episode hands down. maybe i'm to gay for my own good but it's the best and no one can change my mind

[@apoker7295]

6:14 "Like an adorable wide eyed fungus, with The dark side" is probably the best part in these video😏🤟

[@Fictionboy16]

Well, you finally freaking did it... There have now been THREE versions of Owl House Season 1 in 10 Words or Less.

[@kuribohgremlin5596]

The amount of quotes that come from this video and how many parallels i can draw is almost limitess "The foxyest magic hobo on television" " Precious gay tomato baby" The parallels like the luz mushrooms and the new hair

[@ajerjavec4723]

Good review but I’m still The idea that the camps the one writing the letters luz mom because there’s one in fanfiction that wall is a crossover with Hellboy called hell’s boiling point which literally shows the cam contacting Luz mom long before grom Hell it happened before the convention episode so yeah eda is extremely unlikely the Camp is the one I think is writing the letters mostly because there’s no way in hell they wouldn’t have contacted the mom to informing That their daughter never arrived

[@eclair6910]

The owl house fandom has massive racism/white favoritism issues. Since Luz was revealed to be a bi afro-latina with ADHD her mistreatment by the fandom has only increased. The fandom gawks over characters like Boscha who is an awful person, simply because she's white coded unlike Luz, Willow, and Gus. Not only that but the abusive/toxic ships of Willow and Boscha which is just "barfing noises". The fandom just ships white characters with white characters, and a white bully with the person she torments.

[@anidleteen]

I honestly don't understand how people can ship Boscha and Willow, they keep saying rIvAlS tO lOvErS But they're not Boscha is a bully through and through, she has completely destroyed Willow's self-esteem and doesn't care about her, she would rather be feared and hated than unpopular Lumity works as rivals to lovers because they are only rivals for a couple of episodes, they start to learn from each other and understand each other and it works perfectly Boscha and Willow just doesn't work that way and it's so toxic I didn't even realise it as white favouritism but that's so true, they can't accept the Latina rival to lover so they make their own toxic white rival to lover 🤮

[@majora748]

i hear wizard 101 background music and it makes me happy :3

[@Kay-yi1qm]

Honestly my favorite part of the show is the animation especially during the fight scenes it's so buttery smooth and I want to shed a tear every time I watch it.

[@PurpleKyat]

Addressing the whole thing about how Luz became really over powered really fast think about the fact that while we only saw 19 episodes with what we can tell by what the characters say about what time it is and how long ago things happened she has spent nearly an entire year there plenty of time to master the spells off camera

[@quinnasher9743]

I can't take this seriously with the wizard101 soundtrack in the background

[@DoraeArtDreams-Aspy]

Awesome video Finn! Have you seen DuckTales 2017? It’s an amazing reboot!

[@Pookaloo]

"Precious gay tomato" I 100% aprove of this

[@thisisaname3283]

[@cristinacabrera7733]

Man you earned my respect when you changed the music at the lumity dance part

Hope your're doing well finn!

[@rilynnmillerr6357]

0:36 Me who has a fookin crush on Eda: EXUSE ME WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU The Owl House is very underrated "Treating her Good Witch Azura books as some kind of sacred texts" Me: *WHEEZE* 6:33

[@RPGLover87]

Soemthing fun with Amity and Luz is their names - Noceda means "Unyielding", or something along those lines. She is unyielding light, that much is clear and obvious. What's interesting is how her name would interact with Amity Blight's if they got together and Amity took her name - Amity means friendship, initially a toxic, diseased variant. Her parents' attitudes are a literal blight on her life. As she grows closer to Luz and the Clawthornes and distances herself from her status and parents she is becoming closer to Luz's example - she is becoming a Noceda. An Unyielding Friendship.

[@RPGLover87]

BTW, I was actually completely wrong - I looked it up and Noceda is actually a type of tree. I'm a fucking idiot :v

[@pinkfluffyant6335]

In my opinion, the first episode was made so on-the-nose intentionally. Disney is very specific with the shows they sign, and I think they made it so by the numbers to increase the chance of having the show accepted. It feels like an attempt to play the system that Disney runs on. I 100% agree with your statements on the episode, but I definably think that that was on purpose.

[@yaminogame]

I have been waiting for this 😊

[@chadspamton2159]

14:00 I’m pretty sure they aren’t allowed to show a huge slug eat a bunch of salt and then have its insides liquified on Disney…

[@rustycottoncandy]

PFFFFT Just when you said "I had cake", an add came to me and the first thing it said was "Did you have everything? Well- almost everything." Lol

[@jeremy1860]

This video was as great to watch and listen to as I was hoping it would be 😊

[@kalimbers1475]

The "Eda Vs Lilith" Fight Gives Me The "I Will Fking Kill You If You Hurt My Child" Vibes. By Eda's Face ofc.

[@ermacmacro7136]

I think it might be a tad misleading when Eda calls it a body swap. Eda might just straight up be transforming them all into each other. So it changes them into the other body entirely, which allows for the clothing and voice changes....like a large scale illusion spell. Plus, I think that the visual and auditory differences between the three of them is only visible...to the audience. There is the possibility that to the characters, these three look exactly the same and we just see these differences to really tell who's who where the others can't

[@stephenburton8445]

13:18 I recognize that music. Well played good sir.

[@WeirdWonderful]

Also episode 19 doesn't work for me. It ruins all the buildup of Lilith as a great, hateable antagonist that was built up in episode 18 (kidnapping a child, intentionally pushing her into danger to make her sister drain her magic and become a mindless beast, admitting she was the one who cursed Eda in the first place) by having her insta redeemed in the first couple of minutes, re-does Eda's Farewell to Luz but without any of the actual impact, and has Belos come off as a moron since he tried to pretend he let Eda go after Luz and company took his right hand woman hostage on stage and broke Eda out, while destroying his petrification gun thing. It was just kind of a mess.

[@cristyflaherty4902]

Season one is pretty much Lillith's redemption arc because the whole time she wanted Eda to join to make things right and so her curse could be healed. It doesn't accuse her actions like kidnapping Luz or cursing Eda in the first place but she was trying to make things right.

[@cabra0693]

After "through the looking glass ruins" this 6:10 is hilarious
