[@Poisonouscosmic]

I wouldn't say Luz's decision at the end was along the terms of "ditching the human world and her family forever", it was more of a casual "this is going to be my summer camp instead of the one in the human world I didn't want to go to" choice. She can stay here and have Fun Magical Adventures for the summer while pretending to be at summer camp, or return to the human world and go to actual summer camp and be miserable.

[@wolfyrichards]

And then she gets caught up in major witch drama lmao

[@larniieplayz6285]

Yeah

[@Zazabazaa]

Yea I was kinda caught off guard when he started insisting that she's just running away from home, I mean she was expected to go to a summer camp, it's not like her mother is expecting her... also we literally see that they have a portal back, she is seriously not stuck there (for now) and not in any hurry to get home (for now)

[@Silacide]

Trust me, it *IS* a comedy horror. It's intense for a Disney show and you should ABSOLUTELY watch everything without spoiling yourself!

[@c0mpu73rguy]

Comedy, maybe, but I don’t really see what’s horrific in this show save for one or two episodes.

[@Jzombi301]

@@c0mpu73rguy its tame horror compared to an actual horror movie but thats just because its a childrens show that aired on the Disney Channel. it was supposed to be even more horror focused before she pitched it to Disney. it has a lot of creepy animation and some of the way a lot of the shots are framed and how the scenes are made is very horror-esque. there is a lot of dark undertones in many of the episodes, especially with how Belos is portrayed. he and his backstory make the show so much darker and intense. plus Dana Terrace loves certain horror cartoonists and storytellers, which is what inspired a lot of her character creation.

[@c0mpu73rguy]

@@Jzombi301 Even when it comes to children shows, I've seen way creepier stuff, like Courage the Cowardly Dog (now THAT used to scare me as a kid).

[@SketchyDoodles]

The owl house is really good - the first episode isn't the *best* really but the show gets so good, and very very dark especially in season 2, you should definitely watch more!

[@TheCanderemy]

its been days but I'm still thinking about the latest episode (hollow mind). they really upped the horror in season 2 and i'm here for it

[@AntonioCruz-jp4bh]

The first episode is good but the rest of the show is infinitely superior. Once Edas development kicks in, the story becomes amazing and season two is somehow throwing hit after hit that it’s hard to pick a favorite at this point

[@SketchyDoodles]

@@AntonioCruz-jp4bh yea I like the first episode, but I find it's message a little heavy handed and a bit too on the nose lol

[@avch1209]

It is convenient that Luz likes witches and magic and there is a world of witches. Surely in her school there was a boy or girl who was a fan of alien stories but who unfortunately never ran into a portal to an alien ship..

[@coena9377]

A few things: 1) As others have mentioned, the show gets so much better as time goes on. 2) I also like that they don’t demonize Camilla (the mom). Later episodes really establish her as a loving single mom who does her absolute best for Luz. 3) Eda and King aren’t antagonists, they’re just chaotic. 4) We still don’t entirely know what King is. He’s certainly something important but probably not a king of demons. 5) Luz has no intention of abandoning the human world, she’s just planning to stay in this world for the summer. I’d definitely recommend watching the rest, even if you don’t make reaction vids to them. Also while you’re on an animated show binge, Infinity Train is phenomenal and only 10 minutes an episode.

[@pumpkin2986]

Oh don’t worry, Luz hasn’t ditched her Mom and home permanently. She’s basically just going to stay on the Boiling isles for the rest of the summer, while her Mom thinks she’s at the camp.

YEAH LMAO

[@phantomkitten73]

"I'm not expecting like, Hereditary style decapitation scenes" Well, you're not wrong, the decapitations in this show are in fact, not as violent as either of the ones in Hereditary. It's true, this series goes for much more family friendly decapitations.

[@AnimaMandala]

The Owl House is an absolute gem, and definitely worth investing time in. It has an excellent balance of plot progression, world building and character development. And trust me, King only gets more endearing from here.

[@lilasophia7]

toh definitely gets better in season 2 in my opinion. don’t get me wrong, i love the first season too, but season 2 has a lot more plot and deeper storylines in my opinion. you should definitely do more videos on toh, this was a great video!!

Also yea, of course she'd talk like that about a stranger, this is Eda we're talking about. She's soft on the inside but she's also fucking insane lol

It gets so good. Especially in season 2 when it can get shockingly dark for a Disney cartoon. I won't get into spoilers, but we're talking about stuff like murder, abuse, grief, etc.

[@lonixa561]

The newest episode Hollow Mind fits the horror aspect of the show perfectly

[@allister4606]

I beg you continue with this series it becomes so much better nearer the later episodes you wouldn't regret it!!!

[@kimchi-p31w]

I love "the owl house" I have certain episodes in season 1 I think are important for character development and finale. But season 2 is just a pure masterpiece and roller coaster of emotions But you should definitely continue

[@Hoodie9129]

"It's a Disney show" Said by a man who doesn't know the horrors of the latest episode. For real, i thought gravity falls got dark but DAMN, therapy is going to be needed for you and the characters.

[@warriorcatkitty]

King's Tide still has me broken hjvghjhk

[@hcanimation4102]

Yeah Hollow Mind was something else 😐.

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

yeah, this is a good show. I think as you know, first episodes are more to set up initial premise, introduce characters, and begin the story's self justification, which has all happened here. Luz has a fantastical chance to discover a chaotic summer of weird magic with an eccentric, rogueish middle-aged outlaw and her tiny, mysterious, heckin adorable Alex Hirsch companion. And kids watching it have this fun exciting premise that's familiar yet new, and us adults have enough worldliness to ask the bigger questions of "hold up this isn't necessarily OK" So yeah, this is setting up the stall, so to speak: the world will take shape in the coming episodes, and we'll obviously discover the world of the Boiling Isles with Luz.

[@DementisXYZ]

Absolutely fantastic show, and I'd be down to see more reactions. Also, fun fact, at 7:30 the little head girl is Tiny Nose, and she is both voiced and is a self-insert of show creator, Dana Terrace.

[@dagulisia]

Luz decided to stay there to not be at "InBoxCamp". She wants to go back home to her mom, but hated the idea of the camp Camilla had forced onto her.

[@brysonturner6019]

I love revisiting Episode 1 again, because you realize just how far Luz has come since then. And just wait till you meet the rest of the cast. Hoo boy.

[@keioooooo]

Oh trust me, this show will become interesting and very very dark as the show progresses. It'll become even darker in season two, as it shows more heavier subjects. (especially the latest episode)

Luz's idea is not to leave her family or anything, her logic is "if my mother thinks I'm in summer camp, she won't miss me and I can spend the vacations here", everyone knows it's not a very long term decision and that it's gonna be problematic, but tbh I would've done the same
