Loved it! Do "Reaching out" next

[@denjiiiyttyooo244]

season 2 episode 17 is king's episode and his lore, u can react to it!

[@WayneVialpando28]

Hootie is in the house. Hootie is the house.

[@sillyface6950]

When is better. Francois or John luc

[@SukeveClips]

More miraculous videos 😭

[@brandonwithnell612]

honestly poor statue guardian thing, fellah is just trying to do its job, failed to protect its masters kid, accidentally broke the kids horn off and then was stuck in the ruins unable to save them from their kidnapper only to be harassed by the kidnapper again years later and when it finally gets its purpose back to be the kids guardian it pretty much dies as its forcibly removed from the ruins

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

King talking to Luz was absolutely heartbreaking. Realizing your life was a lie is tough but at least there's hope for his dad :)

[@SolarEclipse-po7iu]

Oh boy...

[@forrestfyre7846]

Nobody tell them

[@SimplySammi77]

NO ONE TELL THEM! THEY DONT DESERVE TO KNOW UNTIL THEY REALIZE.

[@vanilla6326]

Just an FYI it’s implied the island is kinda hidden, meaning Eda was able to find it for a reason. King would’ve been safe in the tower but he wouldn’t have grown up as loved as he is with his owl family

[@izuto727]

Watch season 2 episode 17 to find out the rest of King's backstory

[@sevilaliyeva]

Yes please 🙏🏼

[@ItisJasmine27]

Yes!

Isn’t it 17?

[@izuto727]

@@bigmuscleslee1457 oh wait, you're right. Thank you for the correction, i forgot

[@Pinkie-Dash]

He should just watch the whole show 😭😭

[@amberlyrane8006]

Mathew McKenna and Danny Motta would fight over whether Hootie is amazing or freaky 😂😂😂

[@SimplyTiggs]

They SO would

[@SiriSidie_]

Exactly what I thought

[@apolimeow]

The feel like evil twins do you know what I’m saying

[@DementisXYZ]

"Call me Jean-Luc." Next April 1, rename your channel to Jean-Luc McKenna.

[@StarTracker78]

Consider: the island doesn't appear on any maps; it doesn't exist unless King is looking for it; yet it appeared to Eda. Something WANTED Eda to find the island and take King and raise him? That could be why it appeared from the mist to her, offering refuge, luring her in out of the rain, leading her to King

[@alexandruulesan7009]

The genius behind King's story is that all throughout season 1, he was just the sometimes annoying mascot. Baby King if credited for the discovery of 716 new types of diabetes. He's so sweet it hurts! So, we all agree he needs to watch Edge of the World next, right?

[@BrittanyArtPoetry]

For the record Hooty is technically a worm type of demon. (It’s confirmed in later episodes, but I wouldn’t call it a plot spoiler, it’s just casually mentioned).

[@HeXPolska]

I would love to see you react to amphibia's highest rated episode, now that you've done both gravity falls and the owl house, it would be really fitting.

[@SaturnG_url]

Omg he totally should, he watch the pilot first though

[@HeXPolska]

@@SaturnG_url yeah definitely!

[@Zazabazaa]

To be fair, Eda didn't know that she was kidnapping him lol, to her she was saving him from an attack and taking him to a safe place. Plus, as somebody else commented, the island can only be discovered when it wants the visitor, which means that whomever is controlling that *cough*dad*cough* wanted her to find the child

[@someteennamedcharles2035]

Yep. This episode definitely changed most of us in our view of King. Many of us thought him to just be an adorable midget man who roommates with Eda back in season1, but nope. Turns out, he is literally a child (younger than Luz no less), that Eda found and adopted.

[@dreamweaver.]

I need an owl house review collab between you and Danny Motta. The contrast is freaking hilarious. I would die of laughter. 😂

[@SylvaGardenia]

Also if you want another King episode: Edge of the World is a really good one and goes more into the questions you're asking.

[@foxblaze1505]

Man, after having the complete context of Kings origins, it puts significance to the way Eda found him in the first place

[@UnforgetableLovee]

keep the word "infestation" in mind when you think of Hooty no other hints will be given lol

[@ryliedillman7391]

Oh now I NEED you to see more season 2 episodes on King's backstory, you're both gonna love and hate it!!

[@cass4464]

It is delightful to see how weird toh is to people who haven’t watched it in order. And how it still makes them feel things and want more

[@Starfall014]

I remember watching King's Backstory and I cried. lol. Anyways I'm going to watch the video now.

[@puppylover2325]

Edge of the World, King's Tide, and all of Season 3 are all great king episodes. and just great episodes in general. You could probably do all of season 3 in order because its just 3 episodes.

[@emmy_the_nbnd]

Okay but i said "you're the king of my heart" at the exact same moment Mathew did and THEN Luz said it 😅😅😅

[@SaturnG_url]

You should watch Agatha all along (only if you’ve watched Wanda vision in order and movies involving Wanda/the Scarlett witch) it’s very witchy and good, the whole show isn’t out yet it’s releasing on a weekly basis

[@leiavargas7962]

Hooty scares the 2:48 crap out of everyone

[@MalekhiLee]

Hearing mat tryna explain what hes watching is one of the funniest things on yt😂

[@valentinafangirling]

“He’s like a toddler” well!! Lmao he is!!! King is like what 9 years old??? Thats a baby lol

[@mmmm-lg2mj]

[@AkaylahWestland]

Kings backstory is honestly so sad, and yes, i admit it, i haven't seen the entire vid, I just wanted to comment

[@suzie_do_you_copy]

Oh, Edge of the world is going to BREAK him...

[@Kelpie_5656]

This is only part 1 of Kings backstory. There’s another episode much later in the series

[@AlephSharp]

Hooty isn't just a flesh tube, he's a Lighty Feathered flesh tube

[@Jence_]

This got so dark and I was so sad when I first watched this

[@canyouguessit]

Although yes it seems like Eda kinda kidnapped King, and I guess kind of did, later on we find out that his dad allowed Eda to find his home and wanted Eda to take care of King, we are not told this word for word but you can put it together on the last episode of TOH

[@thesphealking6442]

You should react to Amphibias highest rated episode

[@breeeeeaaathofthewild]

I found Hooty and King kinda annoying at first, but they both grew on me and I love them so much now (Hooty still scares me, haha, but yk, still love him😂)

Yooooo more TOH!!! Now could you react to any bit of amphibia? This is like day 30 of me asking :>

Should we expect your channel to change name to "Jean-Luc" soon? xD

We need Matthew to react to fnaf the musical. He has so many fnaf song videos, and he missed arguably the best content

[@Lilt348]

NOW WATCH THE FINALE

[@stacylogan4970]

Hey Mathew, off topic of the video right now butI was thinking since you watch Phines and Ferb (sorry if I said that wrong) you should watch Milo Murphy’s Law they have some weird but amazing songs it is like Phines and Ferb and kinda relate to it so I hope and maybe you read this comment and take it in mind.

[@_MidnightSnow_]

King is the king of my heart

[@kitkatmuffin]

I’m not gonna spoil anything, but I will say that it’s not kidnapping if the fog willingly let her in 👀

Has to be the earliest I've ever been to a video but ello! And yeah King's story is super sad! Love your videos though from one of your hearing disabled viewers love your humor your vids always make my day!

I JUST GOT ON KZbin AND THERE'S MORE OWL HOUSE? LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Maceror]

Mr. McKenna, I do believe it would be "Awesome Epic Gamer" of you if you were to react to Avataro Sentai Donbrothers Out Of Context

[@kaycie4102]

was watching ur other owl house videos and this popped up and jump scared me

[@SaturnG_url]

You should react to amphbia, it’s in the mystery animation group of gravity falls and toh, it progressively gets more intense and deep. The out of context would be hilarious 😭

[@IgluChan]

OMG HE IS CONTINUING THE SHOW GUYSSS

[@lesquidhorse9728]

Hooty's in a birdhouse, fantastic

You should watch friendship is manly

[@BilgeRadić]

The order in witch you’ve watched this show confuses the shit out of me

He usually watches highest rated then lowest rated then random episodes

[@SophieStarPlayxz]

Watch season 2 episode 17 for more King lore!! ^^

[@Tm-dn9ob]

10:00 they knew it was posible already they just never bothered to figure out how... early wiches did it all the time

[@ccm_mndz]

It would be cool if you watch the the second and the 3 one (if you don't want to see the entire show) :p It's totally worth it, the lore is great.

[@mushom_]

I feel like we somehow need to convince Matthew to watch the entire series

[@Janewolfwalker]

How does Mathew know about the boiling isles being his dad? What did I miss?!

[@jaxcraft2848]

Yeah. This episode is deep.

[@DannyRayqu]

At this point Matt, just watch the entire show, we want you to 😂

[@margaritadask3172]

You should react to jade thirwall's solo music. I think you'll like it. She is as good as Sabrina Carpenter and Dove Cameron

I no longer feel like watching this because he was spoiled

[@sandpavver]

YAY! MATTHEW POSTED!! AND IT'S THE OWL HOUSE! :D

[@MatthewEndosoWorld]

Because the crazy shit on the boiling isles is NOT CRAZY TO THEM... The reason why it is believable that King is "the king of demons" is because that would be like a 11-12 year old saying that he was the king of all humans. Also he wasn’t the king of demons so Lilith was right about that part.

[@rainetheace336]
