Just wondering, were you still going to post reactions to the shorter episodes?

[@utlukka950]

Kitty and her mom aren't necessarily evil, more... chaotic neutral. They do what they want and care mainly about having fun and causing mischief. The difference is that Kitty's pranks are mean-spirited but ultimately harmless in the sense that she doesn't try to seriously hurt anyone, while her mother is much more of a risk-taker and seems oblivious of the possible consequences that her "pranks" could cause.

[@brithebi7342]

Background on Wonderland (and on Raven’s mom a little bit)- The reason why Raven’s mom is such a big deal in the show is because she didn’t JUST try to fulfill her own destiny- she tried forcefully taking over other stories as well. Part of that was cursing Wonderland to take over for herself. That’s also why Maddie, Kitty, Lizzie, and only a handful of adults (the White Queen and Mad Hatter for example) are the only Wonderlandians in Ever After. Wonderland is essentially quarantined for Ever After’s safety until they can figure out how to remove the curse (this is also a VERY big part of why Raven hasn’t signed- she wants nothing more than to not be like her mother, and in the books she saw herself trying to take over other stories the same way the evil queen did)

A little backstory! Lizzie, Maddie and Kittie are the ONLY students in whole ever after high that from Wonderland. And heres the thing, when the Evil Queen cast a speel on Wonderland, only a handfull people (Lizzie, Maddie, Kittie and the Mad Hatter) can escape. Thats why when Alister and Bunny came, the became so happy. They were a litteral refuges in ever after high. (I hope i explain good, english is not m first language, sorry 😭)

[@bugdomrulez]

i find it so sad that lizzie is the only one of them that cant talk to her family/be with her family. like the mad hatter is in ever after and kittys mom can go wherever she wants, but the queen of hearts is stuck in wonderland and she and her daughter are separated :(

[@swampbottom1109]

My take is that the Cheshire Cat isn’t *quite* evil, she’s just extremely morally grey and enjoys causing problems to be petty and watch chaos happen. It seems like she’s abusive and emotionally manipulative to kitty and that’s why kitty tries so hard to impress her, and why she’s ok with doing all those crappy things. It’s just the way she was raised. Kitty’s one of my favorite characters for this special alone, as a person with mommy issues her situation is pretty relatable in some ways

[@PrincessNana08]

Kitty is the definition of chaotic neutral. But she's not necessarily evil. Also she has such cute fits. The wonderland gang in general are my favourites. Watching you rage is still funny though. To answer your question, evil apple is more enjoyable cause she's actually being genuine there instead of being a patronizing, close minded, selfish ass while still acting innocent and righteous. At least evil is honest.

[@tinanana-]

Seems evil to me, they know their pranks hurt people (especially her mom), but they don’t care because they want to have “fun”. They are literally having fun at other people’s expense, and when the girls told kitty that her “pranks” are dangerous, she still didn’t care…that’s literally evil

[@lunarialoonatic]

She kinda is evil… her excuses are just as selfish as apple but Apple can’t have any depth bc she’s just “the devil in disguise” smh

[@swirl..9727]

agree to disagree, Apple is flawed due to her conservative mindset hence why she seems selfish but she's not that bad of a person.. tho I do enjoyed her charisma during her evil persona

[@kylaholcomb-co9fv]

The fact that Mathew still knows everyone name is a big win in my book

[@ariaphoenix2760]

Love Kitty so much. I understand she’s not the most likable here, but she really is her best in the book, “A Wonderlandiful World”. It’s my favorite in the series. By the way, I know everyone in the past videos keeps talking about this part in the book where Apple falls down a well and is traumatized for life, but buying a whole book for one or two pages might be unappealing to some, so I’m going to reproduce the whole bit in the comment below. Enjoy!

[@ariaphoenix2760]

When Apple was six years old, she had fallen down a well. She’d been chasing a dragonfly and climbed onto the well’s edge. Then… a seemingly endless fall that ended in a freezing splash, struggle, and gasp for life. She treaded water, her heavy petticoats pulling her down. She didn’t have the breath to either scream or sing for help. It was the first time in her life that she’d ever felt alone. Or cold. Or really, truly scared. Every night before bed, her mother had told her a story that should have been frightening: _Scary Evil Queen. Huntsman ordered to cut out her heart. Lost in dark woods with grabby trees. Dwarves, dwarves, more dwarves. Old peddler lady giving her a strangling ribbon. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned comb. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned apple. Crunch. Gasp. Faint (beautifully). Dead sleep. Cold glass coffin. Empty dreams. Then… kiss. Wake. Prince! Cheering dwarves. Huge choreographed dance number. Happily Ever After._ Even the scary parts of the Snow White story never scared Apple, because it was known. It was her mother’s story, and her mother assured her that one day that same story would be hers. Treading cold water in the well, feeling her legs tire, her face start to sink under, the cruel, smooth walls slick to her grasping fingers, six year-old Apple had changed. She realized that the real world was much, much scarier than any fairytale. Only in her own story would she be safe. It took two minutes for her servants, her parents, and a horde of woodland creatures to find her and pull her out of the well. Two very long minutes. By the time she was wrapped up in fifteen blankets before a fire, worried bunnies huddled onto her lap, shoulders, and head, Apple had made an important decision. She wanted her story. She wanted it ASAP. The sooner she was in that nice, safe, familiar tale-poisoned fruit and all-the better. Her story wouldn’t happen without Raven. So Apple had to help Raven onto the right path. And if that didn’t work, she’d _make_ her.

23:59 Yes, you got that right. Kitty's mom put a Topsy turvy spell on the book of Wonderland riddles that causes the people who read the riddles inside of it to have their normal personalities to be the exact opposite.

[@aebu.g]

I think kitty's mom as someone said is chaotic neutral. She's doing chaos just for the sake of fun but the kind of chaos that doesn't leave a permanent damage. Just like what she did in the film she can actually just reverse the spell back to normal if ever things got out of control.

[@tinanana-]

[@aebu.g]

@@tinanana- chaotic neutrals likes to follow what they want or what they believe in, it can be either be good or bad. Are they evil? Not necessarily too. Just cause someone is chaotic it doesnt mean theyre evil. Theres also something called chaotic good which is opposed to rules or tradition and makes chaos to change the rules/tradition for the better of other people (robin hood is an example).

[@Jeetaruey]

I love Kitty. She wants to fulfill her destiny and make her family proud, but she isn't cruel and heartless. Her mother presses her to go past her boundaries and we can see in this special she is aware when things go too far. You do have to remember Kitty is from Wonderland and their morals aren't quite like ours. Even with Maddie and Lizzie, you can see them being a bit different from the other students. Also please react to the mini episodes, too. They are important and I love many of them. :)

[@desteneeytmsp]

Fr and people compare Kitty to toralei. Toralei is more like kitty's mum then kitty herself especially because toralei has no regrets. Like toralei literally got somebody to steal draculauras heart, Stole catty noirs voice, betrayed cleo and the fear leading squad, trying to make her own school loose and break apart in Friday night frights, making the ghouls stay on Friday the 13th

[@luckybug479]

I reviewer I watched mentioned that Kitty saying “I would’ve thought my wonderland friends would understand.” Might imply that “chaos” is sort of a cultural thing of wonderland. Which sort of creates an interesting perspective on the problem (not saying that dismisses Kitty’s actions but that does create an interesting layer)

[@kitkatmuffin]

One of my favorite scenes in the books is when Madeline gets unjustly expelled and Apple and Raven have to come up with a plan to prove her innocence (I forget what she was expelled for). In order to do this however they have to keep it a secret from Maddie, so to prevent her from hearing their narration they think of bunnies to cloud their inner monologue XD Another of my favorite scenes is when the book narrator gets Wonderland Fever and becomes unable to narrate, so Madeline and Kitty start narrating the second half of the story themselves until the Narrator gets better

[@memeempress]

Kitty and her mom are the chaotic neutral definition of “I’m going to cause problems on purpose” and “I’m doing this because it’s the funniest thing to do.” It’s in their nature to be pranksters, much like the original Cheshire Cat that tried to lead Alice astray by being unhelpful. Also, I might not simp for Alistair, but I’m absolutely not surprised people do. Alistair best boi.

[@thedingdongsunshinefuture]

About Kitty, when you have a certain reputation that can make it difficult to change. Because you know that people expect you to act a certain way so if Kitty tried to stop playing pranks and stuff they still wouldn’t trust her, they’d probably think she’s playing some long con to lull them into a false sense of security. I’d assume she’s been following her mother’s lead since she was little, so she’s had this prankster reputation for a long time. That must be pretty isolating because people don’t want to hang out with someone who will just mess with them all the time. Meaning the only person she could be close with was her mother, who praised and encouraged mischief. Sorry for the character study essay, that’s just how I imagine she came to be the way she is.

[@kaylieeng9629]

Ravens mom went beyond her own story and tried to take over all of Ever After, including Wonderland (not just sticking to her own story). That’s why she’s considered the “most evil” and why everyone is expecting Raven to follow in her footsteps and be evil. Only a few citizens of Wonderland (Maddie, Lizzie, Kitty, The Mad Hatter, and maybe a few others I’m forgetting) were able to evacuate before all portals were sealed off. That’s why Lizzie’s mother (the Queen of Hearts) and Kitty’s mom (the Cheshire Cat) are still in Wonderland, they never made it out. It also explains why Allistair and Bunny know Maddie, Lizzie, and Kitty, they were friends when they were younger.

[@pompe221]

"You never played Stabby Stabby Death Death before?" OK, I genuinely LOL'ed at that. Wait a minute. How did the Cheshire Cat get to EAH when Kitty called her? The well was still plugged up at that point. Or did she come through the super-secret portal that Ginger and the White Knight used to get back to EAH?

[@AMStryx]

Their ability to disappear is basically like a teleporting ability unique to them.

[@poisxnivi]

@@AMStryxwait, so why can’t kitty teleport to wonderland? is it cause she hasn’t signed the book?

[@AMStryx]

@@poisxnivi That's one possibility making it where the full potential of her ability isn't unlocked yet. Another possibility is that it's not that she can't teleport to Wonderland, only that she's agreed to stay safe in Ever After until the incomplete curse is(or can be) safely lifted. After all, Lizzie can use that map to find the well to go back any time, but doesn't likely since she agreed to stay safe too. Could be both possibilities, too. Of course, I'm not sure it's ever explained in any of the various media and lore given for Kitty exactly how that ability is supposed to work and what it's limits are supposed to be even at full potential. It could have a range limit for all we know.

[@AMStryx]

Rereading og question. Cheshire Cat had already followed Alistor and Bunny to EAH before the well got plugged since she can momentarily be seen on more than 1 occasion watching the chaos unfold that was caused by her trick.

[@poisxnivi]

@@AMStryx hm, maybe edit: now that im reading the comment again after rewatching wtw, idk about the kitty and lizzie agreeing to stay in ea theory anymore, cause would’ve one of them mentioned how they could go back to wonderland?

[@fatimahaamer9272]

Your point at the end about the fragility of the EAH world, and how one thing out of place could destroy the world, makes me think that maybe that's another reason why following your destiny is so important. Maybe when the Headmaster said you could all go 'poof' he was talking about something similar to this.

[@imstalkingyu]

not you blaming Kitty the entire time for being taught by her mother that she needs to be mean in order to be loved 😂

[@quinnd6273]

The idea with Wonderland was that when the Evil Queen decided to break out of her destiny and try to take over other stories, she attempted to destroy/take over Wonderland. She was stopped, but her curse would have seeped into Ever After so it was almost entirely sealed off. (minus the well in this special!) This allows the Cheshires to move between worlds due to their abilities (though Kitty can't because she doesn't have control yet), but everyone else is trapped. It's suggested that the Mad Hatter and a couple other Wonderland adults took as many kids as they could and got out of Wonderland before it was sealed, like Lizzie's mom sent her out to make sure her heir would be safe. Hence why Maddie, Kitty, and Lizzy are at Ever After High! It also makes Maddie and Raven being BFFs so much sweeter because Maddie doesn't let what Raven's mom did to her world affect the way she views Raven. That's also why Raven doesn't want to sign in the books-- she's shown a future where she breaks out of her story and attacks Wonderland like her mom did. There's a cool fan theory that the Wonderland kids have already lived out their destinies because Alistair is already in Wonderland and knows them all-- their story happened early whenever Alistair entered Wonderland for the first time! It would make Alistair being stuck in Wonderland and not Ever After make more sense! Also! Apple's fear of rebelling is mostly due to a traumatic experience when she was a kid where she didn't listen to the rules and almost died falling down a well-- she associates her destiny with safety. Even though Raven's story ends badly for her, to Apple there is nothing more dangerous or scary than the unknown of not following the rules. It's definitely selfish but a little more understandable!

Even if Kitty cares less about the whole "follow your story" mentally than Apple or Raven, it still affects her. She does bad things she calls pranks not only because of her lineage, but also because its quite literally whats expected of her! Shes the daughter of the Chesire Cat, its her duty to do these things ON TOP of wanting her mother's approval! That's what makes the issue complex! These are teenagers who have been taught their wholelives to do whats expected of them to do!

23:24 WAIT!!! I'M NOT DONE!!! CARE FOR A TRIM, BRIAR?!

[@poisxnivi]

35:03 as much as I love kitty, imma have to agree with you here. i honestly don’t like how this plotline ended, even if this HAD to happen for the plot, im kinda upset that this was never touched on again

[@AbbyX365]

Every video Max questions how the kids came to be. And each time it makes me wonder and yet wish I didn’t.

[@rosestorm3695]

I find Apple more relatable as a villain and I'm a little concerned about that.

[@rafaelmatos5851]

The next special is so great! Way Too Wonderland is one of my favorites!!

[@-Tomarrystan-]

I will keep rewatching this ❤ please do way too wonderland and then dragon games!

[@StarkeeperLen]

the special that introduced my favourite ever after couple

[@fairytalelover-d7c]

The fact that Apple White under the topsy turvy spell acts so evil is speculated to be the reason to believe that she and Raven were swapped at birth but it is not true. Actually Apple in her normal character is helpful, understanding( sometimes) but her opposite self is evil because the opposite of goodness is badness so she acts like that in the movie simply because of this.

I. NEED. MORE these vides are my daily dose of joy and literally make my day❤

FINALLY, I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER, I can't wait for the next ones

DARLING’S HEREEEEEEEEE

28:23 mattel once they cancelled eah be like

[@ariaphoenix2760]

Apple’s background for being a bitch, ripped right from the books: When Apple was six years old, she had fallen down a well. She’d been chasing a dragonfly and climbed onto the well’s edge. Then… a seeming endless fall that ended in a freezing splash, struggle, and gasp for life. She treaded water, her heavy petticoats pulling her down. She didn’t have the breath to either scream or sing for help. It was the first time in her life that she’d ever felt alone. Or cold. Or really, truly scared. Every night before bed, her mother had told her a story that should have been frightening: _Scary Evil Queen. Huntsman ordered to cut out her heart. Lost in dark woods with grabby trees. Dwarves, dwarves, more dwarves. Old peddler lady giving her a strangling ribbon. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned comb. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned apple. Crunch. Gasp. Faint (beautifully). Dead sleep. Cold glass coffin. Empty dreams. Then… kiss. Wake. Prince! Cheering dwarves. Huge choreographed dance number. Happily Ever After._ Even the scary parts of the Snow White story never scared Apple, because it was known. It was her mother’s story, and her mother assured her that one day that same story would be hers. Treading cold water in the well, feeling her legs tire, her face start to sink under, the cruel, smooth walls slick to her grasping fingers, six year-old Apple had changed. She realized that the real world was much, much scarier than any fairytale. Only in her own story would she be safe. It took two minutes for her servants, her parents, and a horde of woodland creatures to find her and pull her out of the well. Two very long minutes. By the time she was wrapped up in fifteen blankets before a fire, worried bunnies huddled onto her lap, shoulders, and head, Apple had made an important decision. She wanted her story. She wanted it ASAP. The sooner she was in that nice, safe, familiar tale-poisoned fruit and all-the better. Her story wouldn’t happen without Raven. So Apple had to help Raven onto the right path. And if that didn’t work, she’d _make_ her.

[@fairytalelover-d7c]

Is this happened also in the cartoon canon?

[@ariaphoenix2760]

@@fairytalelover-d7c It’s hard to tell what carries over, but since we get no backstories from any of the characters in the cartoon, this is the only one we have to go off of, so I choose to believe so.

[@fairytalelover-d7c]

@@ariaphoenix2760well, there are backstories in the cartoon, like the evil queen, Crystal winter who was Ashlynn and Briar' s friend at spellementary school... there are very few backstories i know but the books( some of them) are canon with the cartoon so there are a few similarities between the books and the cartoon. But Bella and brutta sister are not mentioned in the cartoon

[@ariaphoenix2760]

@@fairytalelover-d7c True, but since the cartoon retells the story of Legacy Day without retelling the backstories revealed in the books, I have to believe that that part is canon to the story. I don’t think I watched anything past Dragon Games so I didn’t know about the other backstories, but it’s good to see some exist at least

[@Ruthvika_Rajesh]

@@ariaphoenix2760it’s all canon from the books

[@stcrrgazed]

haven’t even watched this yet, currently at school and I’ve been busy with so much work. but i love your eah videos so much and I can’t wait to sit down and watch this when I have the time!! i’m honestly really looking forward to your review on dragon games because that’s my favorite special out of all of them :)

[@ell4450]

Can’t wait for the wonderland season reactions

[@fotiskogias3764]

Loved how weird that movie was I remember watching it when it came out, it really seemed like it was from Wonderland. Also the shirt Mathew is wearing seems to fit to the theme and I really like the design.

[@dreo5845]

OHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR LIKE 2 MONTHSSS, cant wait :))

[@kemahz1893]

Every time I watch that episode of ever after high it always sends me into a jolt of happiness. This is one of my favorites.

[@miguelflores3122]

Yesssss, more Ever After High ❤❤❤❤

[@poisxnivi]

17:47 honestly I never thought about it like this and but that you mentioned it… now i have a hc that grimm just treats the wonderlandians like this on a daily basis because I just dislike him that much

[@poisxnivi]

30:28 i don't think so, considering alistair asked her where she DIDN'T put the book, anything else besides where she actually put it would've been the truth

[@Sprite-yz4py]

Please continue this series 🙏🙏🙏

[@-Tomarrystan-]

yes Please mathew

[@scarletknightwalker235]

Cheshire Cat just being the Ever After High version of "It was just a prank Han~!"

[@laurensinclair8803]

Please finish the ever after high videos! I miss them and you’re hilarious watching it

[@-Tomarrystan-]

[@hellothereeewasntavailable]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[@angelcakeeeee]

Mat you should watch the way to wonderland or dragon games next! Those are my personal favourites, thanks for the amazing video! :)

[@-Tomarrystan-]

I agree that he should watch them!

[@zainapatel231]

Please watch the next episodes I cannot wait

[@aryagriffith2352]

Can we talk about the "neighbor dies lmao"

[@rachaelricci9836]

Now you need to watch the Way to Wonderland episodes

[@purplesunset6328]

Loved this video but it was nice seeing you react to the shorter episodes too. As they're not specials they have more space for smaller plots and developing side characters which is nice to see.

[@lealindhorst2172]

You need to react to ever after high way too wonderland
