THE OWL HOUSE 1x2 REACTION | Witches Before Wizards | First Time Watching

[@BGTitanAvatar]

“Look kid, everyone wants to believe they’re ‘chosen.’ But if we waited around for a prophecy to make us special we’d die waiting. That’s why you need to choose yourself.” That. That right there was when I knew I was going to absolutely adore this show.

[@Kaiju23]

I'm right there with you, that line is what told me this show was gonna be something special, the kinda story that only comes around once in a very long while.

[@joeldean2706]

Yea that line from Eda. I knew that this show would be great and I'm glad watched it. This show is fantastic

[@egranger2128]

What I would give to watch TheOwlHouse for the first time again.

[@MTTT19]

Hooty is essentially the Dr. Zoidberg of the series. The character everyone is mean to for no reason.

[@Omn1Media]

😂

[@EndymionDeVere]

Eda casually eating Adegasr is a mood

[@ImperfectXIII]

I found Hooty kind of annoying at first, but he VERY QUICKLY grew on me. (Also, he and King are voiced by the same dude - Alex Hirsch!)

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

Hooty can be annoying in some ways. But when he isnt, you do gotta like him or feel sorry for him.

[@Kkeicyy_]

guess what's in my mouth that I'm about to throw up...! ......THE MAIL!!

[@ZukoHalliwell]

Hooty is basically the Zoidberg of this show.

[@P.G.A._Official]

Omg Mr. Gravity Falls!!!11°°!!!++++11!++!1

[@TheCartoonConnoisseur]

It's only up from here on out. I have always viewed the first 2 episodes as a 2 part introduction to the show. From here on out the show really starts

[@joeldean2706]

Same here. Looking forward to seeing reactions to the bigger episodes.

[@wendyheatherwood]

Toy safety regulations really weren't as tight in the 1980s. I'd like to say not to the extent of being deadly sharp, but the original lawn darts weren't fully banned in the US until 1988 and they were responsible for at least three deaths.

[@KingsBard]

The land being formed/carved from a titanic corpse is such a fun setting, big norse mythology vibe.

[@lucasfox2494]

Big Xenoblade Chronicles vibe!

[@astropunch101]

Fun Fact: that nose creature is actually voiced by the creator of the show

[@whatanonsense856]

... and is also kind of a self portrait, if I remember correctly.

[@DarcOne13]

​@@whatanonsense856Yep! It's her self-insert!

[@whatanonsense856]

@@DarcOne13 Ah! Thanks for the confirmation! I think I saw this character outside the show, too ... like in some short comic referencing Dana's life.

[@IceMetalPunk]

As great as the first two episodes are, episode 3 is where the show really takes off; where the lore and arcs truly begin. Can't wait to enjoy it all again with you! 🧙‍♀

[@nicolasgarant9124]

What I like about this episode and why I consider the first two episodes to be a pair is that, I think they have messages that complete each other. " It's okay to indulge your fantasy....but you need to stay a bit in reality too."

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

The first season is a rollercoaster in terms of quality, but at the end the rollercoaster turns into a rocket ship and does not slow down.

[@sarafontanini7051]

i think what makes this episode stand out is how it accentuates how Luz can't jsut live in a fantasy, the Isles aren't like her books and she's not some special chosen one. She's jsut special in her own way. THis episode jsut sold to me that they aren't gonna ignore Luz's flaws and act like she doesn't need to change at all, but she has to accept SOME change.

[@sdaubs]

You mentioned loving Hooty's voice. The voice is done by the same person as King (the little dog like creature), there was several lampshades about it in future episodes where King dislike's Hooty's voice

[@gabsrants]

This show is awesome with the setups they do. It's always all out in the open and yet you never see it coming. Episode 1 - "What are the fireworks for?" - "They were for the act 3 closer." cut to act 3 ending with the fireworks being chucked into the warden's mouth Episode 2 - "Never trust a man in sandals" - gets betrayed by a man in sandals

[@NVSirius]

Fun and Silly Fact (I think): King has a Mouth but We don't see it because the Animators had trouble Animating it

[@eintim332]

Nice for catching that tidbit about the sandals - cant wait for next week and your reaction to the rest of the cast, this show will get better with every episode! Love your reactions.

[@Nitrinoxus]

What a great way to start my morning! - That initial gag with the passing monster is kind of a distillation of this show's comedic style. I get the feeling that won't be the _last_ bout of hysterical laughter this show kicks off! - Well, _that_ didn't take long. Hooty's baffling at the best of times, but he has his funny moments. - Owl Lady isn't a morning person. Who'd'a thunk? - Between the runaway success of _Hazbin Hotel_ and the gloriously unrestrained _weirdness_ of the Boiling Isles, I wonder if Disney ever _regretted_ not letting Dana set her story in Hell. - "Weh!" is kinda King's _thing._ - I'd give Luz more flak about being too eager to believe what she hears, but... I mean, she's _14. _*_Every_* person below the age of 25 is _some_ flavor of stupid. - You may end up regretting wondering about Hooty's anatomy. (He's voiced by Alex Hirsch, by the way, same as King.) - As tough as it was to watch Luz get carried away by her own need to be special, it was crucial for her to learn that lesson. The world doesn't work off of fantasy-novel logic, and it's frequently cruel and callous to those who don't fit in -- you've gotta find the beauty amid the bleak, and seek out your own path to follow. It's a good lesson for _any_ show to have, and something that's been lacking from Disney's previous attempts at stories like this. - You pretty much got it in one: the Boiling Isles are built atop the bones of a Titan, a colossal creature whose remains gave rise to an entire ecosystem of creatures over the ages. It'll get explored in more detail later on how the Isles' natural history played out, though most of the Demons of the Isles (the non-humanoid denizens, basically) originated from the Titan... as did a few _other_ plot-relevant things I shouldn't talk about yet. - Don't forget what I said about the episode titles hiding a message. *A W*

[@miribalis]

your pitch perfect king impressions are such a highlight of this series

[@Finkeren]

If you're this much into it already, you're in for a WILD ride. Apart from maybe one or two episodes the rest of the season is better than the first two and then Season 2 rolls around and oh boy.... I can honestly say, that I've never seen a single season of a show THAT tightly written and THAT consistently stellar. Trust me, it gets really, really good.

[@ImperfectXIII]

Yay best Disney show continues!

[@michaelbrowne3088]

Omn1 this ride is only going to get better.

[@TIMIRST]

Remember watching this like it was yesterday😢

[@b3yourself91]

I love the message the episode has.

[@YowhaddupCMfan]

I love that you are properly disturbed by this episode. The puppet things are horrifying. 😅 I also love that Eda can still have these really deep moments of wisdom to help Luz.

[@weisserdrachey]

I love Hooty! 💖 Love your reaction to when Eda ate the demon 😂😂😂

[@ingeaten]

Your hair looks gorgeous today sir

[@whatanonsense856]

11:18 Asking the important questions!

[@docavar5698]

You mean ASS-king? 😅

[@DarcOne13]

Season 1: You are special and weird, just like everyone else, and that's beautiful. Season 2: Everyone deserves a second chance. A third chance might be a mistake. Season 3: Growing up isn't a tragedy, but enjoy the time you have, because Disney might only give you three episodes to wrap everything up.

[@EmirJYanshu]

Hooty is quite a character lol. Looking forward to your reactions on him and other characters lol

[@RicG23]

King and Hooty share a voice actor-the creator of ‘Gravity Falls’: Mr. Alex Hirsch

[@Rutabega_NG]

Can't believe that I have found two different reactors who have just started The Owl House in the last couple months. I get to watch it again! This show is the reason I started watching reactors in the first place. Before that, I didn't see the point.

[@JacobChouinard-fn1cl]

which ones im addicted to watching reactors watch shows ive already watched

[@Rutabega_NG]

@@JacobChouinard-fn1cl Omn1 here, obviously, and Danny Motta. He's actually already on the second season. He generally watches two episodes every reaction, that's why he's already that far. If you search the Owl House on KZbin, you probably find more. I'd be surprised if there aren't at least a few more new reactors. Really, searching any show should bring up reactors unless it is really old or unpopular.

[@JacobChouinard-fn1cl]

@@Rutabega_NG oh yeah funny enough I'm already watching Danny lmao

[@PrincessOfSwords]

Fun behind the scenes inspiration: living on a giant corpse as physical land was inspired by The Sleeping Giant mountain in Hamden, Connecticut, Dana Terrace's hometown. Hooty's voice is a purposefully bad impression of Mickey Mouse.

[@PypperAlexanderalt]

HEY IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKS AT KING AS A KUBONE

[@alexandruulesan7009]

The conspiracy theory character, aka Tiny Nose is voiced by Dana Terrace, the show's creator They could not have made a more wizardy wizard if his name was Gandalfbledore 11:10 *THERE IS NO BEGINNING, THERE IS NO END, THERE IS ONLY HOOTY*

[@jimlight5137]

18:50 keep that observation in mind. That’s going to be a running theme.

[@FlybyStardancer]

Alex Hirsch has described Hooty’s voice as Mickey Mouse hyped up on too much sugar and spun through a washing machine. 🤣

[@CardSearcher911]

And it was originally a joke but Dana loved it and Alex had to learn how to talk with it for long periods.

[@andreasengels7293]

Hio Hoody´s voice is the Voiceactors version of imitating Micky Mouse^^.

[@raye-raphaelsashay8521]

So glad you're having fun! I don't always watch reactions to episodes in season 1, since I tend to prefer seasons 2 and 3, but I'm really liking these videos. They remind me of how much I love the show.

[@lucasfox2494]

The land being formed from a titanic corpse is such a fun setting! Reminds me of the Xenoblade Chronicles games in which the same happens!

[@amandap7599]

The magical world is inspired by the art of Remedios Varo, John Bauer, and Hieronymus Bosch. Look up some art by those artists. It explains a lot. Lol.

[@sydude666]

This is a solid episode. The show has a decent start but just gets better and better and I know i'm not the only one excited for the next episodes reaction to see (In my opinion) the best character in the show !

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

The whole island is a giant dead creature. More details later in series. But I always loved the concept.

[@joshuawinters7644]

2:25, We'll Officially Meet Them Next Episode 5:46, There's A Lot Of Stuff About This Show The Homophobes Over At Disney Weren't Chill With

[@M3ltedNikhowaz6426]

fun fact hootys voice is Alex Hirsch doing a bad micky mouse impression.

[@brandonphoummany9668]

Yay!! 3x weeks Owl House???

[@armadillo-arts]

fun fact- hooty’s voice came from a bad mickey mouse impression by alex hirsch that ended up sticking lmao

[@Randoo0o0o0o0o0o-f]

If your sad now, just wait till s2 and 3

[@Luzarioth]

Eda is in here mid to late 40s according to the creator of the show. I am usually not a fan of older Women (Ming Na-Wen doesn't count !) but Eda ? Hell yeah ^^

[@kojiberri]

🎉🎉🎉

[@WayneVialpando28]

Well, there’s also some else you gotta be concluded on this show was not meant for Disney Channel for Cartoon Network. It was an adult programming show that’s where reference to Hell came from at the time. Cartoon Network was only looking for 15 minute segments shows they skipped out on this, so she modified it, now the other character in the opening the one on the far right is a very unique character. I can assume you realize why they cut it off so I’m gonna leave it to you to put two into together. You’ll get the reference. I’m talking about by episode 16 and you should be able to get it earlier Good luck

[@supertia2]

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Luzarioth]

weeeeeell...they worst episodes of the entire show are still to come... BUT, and that IS a BIG BUT, there are 2 Phases of Owl House, the "we need to find our Grove" phase, which contains a few not so good episodes and the "HOW IS THAT A DISNEY SHOW" phase, which has basically only bangers... and phase 1 already ends at a certain point in Season 1. I always hope that Reactors stick to it until that point, because once it is there... one does not simply stop watching it.

[@blueboyscout4297]

Don’t read the comments. YOU WILL GET SPOILERS! Some people think they are clever and can’t help themselves.

[@Mr.MossyTeacup]

Unrelated to this episode or season, but in season 2 episode... 7? (This ISN'T a spoiler, btw) There's a nonbinary character who uses they/them pronouns. Their name is Raine, and it's just something to be aware of! (One of the other reactors I watch just watched the ep where they're introduced, and the misgendering was painful to witness)

[@justsomeone4445]

Dude, you need to step up your game and post these daily! The really awesome stuff is in the second season. It has lesbians... LESBIANS!!!!

[@alexroth882]

For me this is the worst episode of the show, so if you like this one enough then it really is only up from here
