The Ghost and Molly McGee Made Me Cry | First Impressions

[@thesupernaturalhouse]

Molly is like a golden retriever puppy while libby is a black cat.....they fit PERFECTLY together friend or more

[@SoulQueenoD]

I really appreciate the fact that Molly and Daryl get along and that he's occasionally involved for her hijinks. Also, I just realized that Libby is still wearing her turtleneck during her Bat Mitzvah and that she wears turtlenecks because she likes turtles.

[@pupstuff4389]

I never noticed the turtlenecks thing that's really funny

Yeah it’s very refreshing of having healthy sibling dynamics in cartoon shows.

“Scratch is the weakest character in the show” Fair enough. He sometimes feels incredibly shoehorned in to an episode, but he is incredibly funny with Dana Snyder’s line deliveries.

[@Jjjr-]

I think as the ghost council sees that scratch isn't doing too well he's gonna get more interesting cause it was kinda surprising the show started with that

Hate how most people overlook a good show because it doesn't have a "deep" or more "mature" storyline I really love this show but I see no one talk about it. Some even theorize that this and many other shows will do some type of crossover in the future and while that can be cool why can't they just stand on there own?

[@Nightman221k]

I'm so glad this show seems to be sticking to a lighter and episodic feel. I don't need overarching drama in everything. I just want a show where a girl and a ghost become friends and do goofy stuff. I like how Molly is relentlessly chipper and to me it's a fun dynamic that I see staying fresh for a long time. No need to sully it by having her go through traumatizing stuff.

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

Well aside from being nervous about people finding out about Scratch.

[@jacobb4795]

Molly and Libby kinda remind me of Luz and Willow from the owl house. Although Molly and Libby definitely have more of a romantic vibe

[@emargaux]

I love how ‘dress up and travel’ was brought up lmao that’s Taiwan’s censoring of the Lumity scenes

[@gabipaiva1302]

I love Lily, she puts a smile on my face every time I hear her voice

[@LilianOrchard]

Which voice lol

[@koolgamers6763]

I watched this whole show over the course of a few weeks when it dropped on Disney plus and yeah this show is not only good, but at the same time seems to have warded off the annoying cartoon fandom that seems to coalesce around “lore” cartoons these days. I look up one video about amphibia and all the sudden YT trys to push me down the rabbit hole of these awful clickbait content creators who take the show more seriously than the show itself does. I love Amphibia and TOH in a vacuum but sometimes that can sour the experience a bit.

[@mysticwayfinder3578]

This show is revolutionary in the sense that Molly would start a revolution if it meant one dedicated to showering Libby in affection. Go ahead. Tell me I'm wrong.

[@kidpixel4818]

No no, you’re right.

[@kidpixel4818]

Honestly the closest thing I can think of this show going “dark” is Scratch eventually gets sent to the void of failed phantoms and Molly and her friends and family having to break him out. Which leads her to accidentally taking down the Ghost Council and setting up a new system. (maybe even implementing some of her culture on respecting spirits rather than fearing them) But that’s less becoming “dark” and more of a series final conflict.

[@ghostspider2056]

When I first heard about this show, my thoughts were “Isn’t this like that other show called Dude, That’s My Ghost”.

[@VigilanteLulu]

This show is that, but better!

[@sophieb5537]

10:48 For some reason, I was expecting to hear Mikaila in the background ask "What's wrong?" and have Lily just be like "I'm fine...this show is just hitting me in the feels."

[@barnabyn.rivers4430]

Yes, yes, and YES to all that! Btw, I was NOT expecting the holocaust reference in “Festival of Lights.” If I was drinking water when I was watching that episode, I would of LEGIT done a spit take!

[@ItsJustJess20]

I managed to watch all of the episodes (so far) of the show on D+ and no joke, I adore this show. It is very energetic and hilarious, the animation is very fluent and nice (especially by TV standards), the tone of the show and the relationship between Molly and Libby reaches extreme levels of wholesome and sweet (but in a good way), and "The Festival of Lights" is probably my all time favorite episode. Plus it gets extra points for being different and shying away from using the usual show cliches to just do its own thing and offer something sincere and heartwarming rather than dull and laughably edgy. The fact that the creator says that the show will not get dark in S2 makes me very glad because I find the show perfect as it is 🥰💖

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

The Ghost and Molly McGee is quite the fun and cozy show. We need some more shows like this instead of hoping that every animated show has to be plot driven and plenty of serious moments. Sometimes it’s good enough to have show that’s mostly lighthearted fun. While I like Scratch as much as Molly & Libby, I can see how you and others aren’t a fan of him. There are some moments in the show that make me go “does he need to be in this episode/scene?”. It’s like the writers are a bit worried about episodes that don’t have all the main characters in it. Maybe later down the line they’ll get the courage to do some episodes that don’t have Scratch (or other mains) in it. Not every episode needs to have all the main characters in it. I mostly like Scratch because I grew up watching his voice actor in Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And Scratch is basically a Disney friendly version of Master Shake. And I tend to like jerkish characters like that. Yup, it’s weird how there are fans of Amphibia and The Owl House that are acting like they are super serious 90% of the time. Like Amphibia fans are upset about there not being enough serious plot episodes in the 3rd season so far. It’s like they forgot that seasons 1 & 2 had a decent amount of not so plot relevant and serious episodes in it too (even with the 2nd season picking up the pace of the plot, it still has a good amount of fillery like episodes) and that there’s still half a season to go for that show. I’d classify Amphibia as a fun one-off adventure show that has the occasional serious and plot moments/episodes. Even The Owl House was like that in the 1st season. The 2nd season picked up the pace, but it’s also going a bit too fast for certain fans liking. And to make things weirder, I’ve seen some act like shows like Craig of the Creek need to be like that. So far the only noticeable confirmed LGBT+ stuff in the show is that one of Molly’s teachers (Mrs Roop) is casually mentioned being gay in the episode “No Good Deed”. Hope there’ll be some more like that. And yup, Libby is precious along with her relationship with Molly. And her dynamic with Scratch is pretty fun too. Hope there are some more episodes centered around them too later down the line. I wonder if they’ll do some more with Andrea in later episodes. And I’m not saying that as a shipper trying too hard to make her and Molly a new Lumity. Neat video overall!

[@jewelqueenwrite]

That dress up and travel line had me spit out my drink 😂 Anyway, this show is great and this is why it works and I enjoy it a lot

[@DariusKetchum2010]

I just love this show. I find Scratch to be funny, Molly is adorable, and so is Libby.

[@Nightman221k]

I think their relationship SO FAR strikes me as the creators wanting to depict it as platonic, but I definitely recognize the fruity vibes. If people ship it I think it's A-OK though.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

personally I'd prefer that they stayed platonic but that's more because I flat out don't understand romantic relationships (of any kind, real or fictional) so platonic relationships in shows just feel more impactful in my view.

[@thechurroguy5013]

My favorite episode is also the Miracle of Lights, and my favorite part is Libby’s poem about the tale of the Maccabees, and the origins of Hanukkah. I live in Texas, and one of my closest friends that I love more than life is Jewish. She always struggled with being proud of her family’s heritage due to the stupid amount of AB assholes that live in our state. So when we watched the series, and she listens Libby’s poem, she was crying because of how happy she felt to feel represented on TV that wasn’t super anti-Semite. Bless this show for having such a wonderful character like Libby.

[@emma_nutella58]

Maybe they could reveal one of them is ace/aromantic that be a great way to rep the ace community either way I don’t mind either way their relationship goes whether staying as friends ir a couple

I'm gonna give this a watch, I've been needing something colourful and silly after Centaurworld decided to end its first season with hyping how dark the next one was gonna be. Unrelated note: People think Kubo and the Two Strings is a dark and mature animated film? Sure it's not cartoony but I actually watched it in the cinema and I thought it was a family friendly adventure film.

[@PBee-hd2by]

Your brief comment about shows handling the Civil War made be think back to that one Disney live-action show (Maybe Girl Meets World??) where a teacher character side stepped it by saying the Civil War was caused by ~disagreements between parties~ and the message was "Have civil discussions between each other even though you have disagreements :)". They also tried to compare the Civil War to the kids protesting homework in class. Oh, and I don't think they mentioned slavery once. Even if they did, it was so brief that I can hardly remember it. I don't think the bar can't get lower than that. Anyway, the Ghost and Molly McGee is like a show made of warm pastries. Every bite is sweet and comforting, and it's just a nice show to sit down to if you're stressed or a wee bit tired.

[@uncolaman99]

I was very disappointed when "The Simpsons" had Lisa's class say that the Civil War was about slavery... and then Lisa Simpson "corrected" them, saying that it was about tariffs, state's rights, and other things. Lisa was supposed to be the smart one. And the show's narrative sided with her!

Upon watching the trailer for this show, Scratch was the only thing keeping me from watching as I don't always enjoy the asshole secondary main character that helps push the story or creates issues to be resolved by the end of the episode. But hearing this I will now go give it a shot.

[@desidominguez2876]

Whenever I'm reminded that people think shows that touch on serious and adult issues need to also be super grim and gritty, in my head I'm like "Black-ish and its seven equally educational and topical yet entertaining spinoffs are right over there! What are you talking about?!" I'm glad you enjoyed The Ghost and Molly McGee if only because we all deserve some wholesome soft food after another rough year.

[@moonlitlaurel8103]

Just one thing I asked myself while watching. Is "Kristallnacht" the normal english word people use? In german that word isn't really used anymore, because it is an euphemism that plays down the actual horrors of the progrom night.

[@LilianOrchard]

In North America, "Kristallnacht" is just the name of the event itself. Like saying "9/11" or "The Cuban Missle Crisis." Granted I see your point as one I day I looked up what a pogrom was only to go "Oh, Kristallnacht was a pogrom... I should have known that."

And then season 2 rolled around and Molly was put into a love-at-first-sight hetero relationship with some ghost hunter across the street to Scratch’s chagrin. And does anyone else get the vibes of a neo nazi sending threatening looks to your mixed-race sibling from across the table, and nobody else at the table really caring that much and just acting like everything is normal? At least it did stay episodic

Just a note here, 8:01 is NOT the holocaust, it's the pogroms. Certain background details can clue you into this, as well as the generations Libby was talking about leading back farther than most people with holocaust survivor relatives. Usually the holocaust is about two or three generations back, but Libby mentions more than that(I think, but even if not I believe its been stated by other jewish people that its the pogroms and not the holocaust)
