Yessssss

[@oprime]

Just like the Grom episode! Both were successfully failed! Lol!

[@grants9282]

Remember when everyone was absolutely positive this was going to be a filler episode? Dana sure proved everyone wrong

[@StarcoFanatic]

I know, right?! I was in that camp, too. I underestimated Hooty, I admit. Shameful, I know, and I'm sorry! 😞 😔

[@DanGamingFan2406]

HOOT HOOT! At last, the episode everyone thought would be "filler," but was actually three major plot episodes in one and, in my opinion, the best episode of the show so far!

[@kylemorello4787]

Four, if you count Hooty officially becoming part of the group, and not just comic relief.

I remember everyone hated Hooty but when this episode came out he was the MVP...but I was a Hooty stan from the beginning. I KNEW HIS WORTH.

[@NeoSpokenWorld]

This episode was the ultimate curve ball for the fandom, back when the titles were revealed almost everyone dismissed it as a filler episode, but what we saw in the end was one of the most packed episodes with a lot of character developement and everyone loved it, easily one of the best episodes of the 2nd season

[@giancarlourielmarpa6037]

I can tell this is gonna be your most favorite episode in the entire season if not the series

[@pika1222]

I know I’m a bit late but I wanna explain the dream sequence. So, that entire scene with Eda as the Owl Beast getting captured and then escaping, that was actually an explanation on how the Owl Beast curse came to be. Apparently the Owl Beast was a real creature, who was being hunted down by this hooded figure (not spoiling who that boy is tho) and, after presumably escaping his net, was turned into a scroll that was then found by that dude on the beach. This explains why the Owl Beast is sort of like it’s own being in Eda’s mind

[@EmiyaHikari]

i actually wasn't a big fan of lumity before mikey made me understand how well-paced and earned it is. one thing i will always like about this ship though, is how luz and amity's lack of confidence and experience makes it so natural and unique.

[@troikas3353]

Id say even more unique is how how healthy and supportive their relationship is depicted after this. So many fictional couples are shown, even in kids shows, as unhealthy just to mine cheap drama. its refreshing seeing a healthy relationship for once.

@@troikas3353 I feel like Rayllum did amazing as well with the pacing and realistic relationship.

[@PuccaLover15]

We all knew this would be your new favorite episode.

[@ej07_]

Hooty is canonically infinite. He is awesome

[@badgerdax1763]

We WERE all waiting for you to react to this, its already a 3 in 1 for reactors, but you got the benefit of being a hooty fan. And seeing your big grin the entire reaction was worth the wait!

[@JNDReacts]

Fun fact about the thumb moment: right before Luz holds out her hand, Amity's holding both of her hands together and her own thumb is rubbing the back of the other hand, so it's like Luz noticed that and copied the motion!

[@duckysguidetoshipping8930]

This episode is the best and I swear Dana pushed so hard for this she needs applause

[@jennifermedicus2735]

I knew you'd be grinning so much this episode. Been waiting for it ever since you said you loved Hooty. And I swear I could hear the collective NOOOOOs being yelled when Hooty ate the letter.

[@santosic]

YES! I've been waiting for this one as soon as I found out that you loved Hooty. Mostly to see if that love for him stays the same or if it improves. And I can't wait to see what you thought of that ending 😜

[@Harthic]

When this episode title got revealed, everyone assumed it was just gonna be a filler episode. After all, what could a Hooty focused episode do? Turns out the answer is a LOT. Hooty helped push forward the development of our 3 main leads. The whole episode is just incredible. We learn so much about how demons work. We also learn a ton about Eda's life. And, of course, we get our big Lumity moment. I love everything about this episode. Just absolutely fantastic.

[@liamevans9815]

To answer your question at the start, Bob Dylan originally wrote "Knocking On Heaven's Door" and GnR later covered it. They did a wonderful cover of it at the Freddie Mercury Tribute.

[@J_to_the_F]

I sometimes wonder if Dana is just sitting in the office taking bets while writing the story. Like: "I bet you can't make the people hate Amity even more whilst the first episodes" She:"no problem!" Some time later: "I bet you can't male the entire fandome love Amity!" She: "no Problem." "I bet you can't unite the different oppinions about Hooty so that all people love him".... And it goes on like that...

[@randomname1201]

In retrospect, it's perfect that "Eclipse Lake" is the episode directly following this one, so nobody knows what Titan's Blood looks like at this point, and the only ones who've seen King's Blood (Tinella & Hooty) were left out in the adventure and didn't really see the Titan's blood much in any episode afterwards

[@Samgreen90]

(At 17:32) proof of two things: 1) Luz IS a Bisexual and Amity IS a Lesbian. 2) Disney CAN'T handle this fan service popularity and they hate SO MUCH… wanna to cancel it.

[@Otisboy121]

Hope this one was everything you’ve ever wanted to see out of Hooty!

[@iLiketoLaugh123]

I KNEW you would use that face for the thumbnail the moment you started to really love Hooty and I am not disappointed.

[@Spyko-]

oh you have no idea how hyped I was for you to reach this episode ^^ also the character at 10:34 is called "The Collector" in the credits.

[@Samgreen90]

(At 13:15) this is probably Hooty's means of getting back at Amity… for beating the shit out of him. By kidnapping Amity and turning her into an airtight owl pellet?

[@jarvisfowlkes3200]

Hooty the goat he made Lumity happen I'm do happy he helped everyone out which makes this one of my favorite episodes of the series

[@kelseygomez2495]

This whole episode! It was not at all what I expected when I heard the title, but it did not disappoint at all. The moment you said you were gonna watch the owl house and Hooty was your favorite I couldn’t wait for you to see this episode! You FINALY made it! I love this portion of the episode because so much was given to us then but also so many questions appeared. I also thought the same thing with no sound it was perfect. It’s true Luz and Amity just feel so earned! The writers do a fantastic job at building these characters. I really do appreciate that Hooty has gotten much more screen time this season. The show wouldn’t be what it is without him

REEEEE FINALLY I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS EPISODE

[@buggy8188]

I watched this episode with a friend of mine and we both screamed when hooty ate the letter

[@Korbin_Arts]

Eda's curse is very much a metaphor for mental illness. it causes difficulty with relationships and takes over sometimes. it can be managed but not cured with medication. but ultimately the best decision is to embrace it and make peace with it instead of denying it. accepting a mental illness as part of yourself helps turn it into something managable.

[@AkiraADV]

I will always remember the time where a lot of people, including me, thought this episode was going to be filler because it was a Hooty episode.

[@marskiih]

Season 2 came to finnish disney+ just a few days ago so I managed to watch this episode today. And as a fellow Hooty lover I can relate to this

I’ll say this right now the curse is definitely a curse but the actual owl beast itself is actually a separate entity and we saw some of its memories in this episode

Also the reaction to the last couple seconds is a very common one for this episode😂😂😂

[@charliehall1944]

ERNESTO LOOK KING HAS HAS MACHIG

[@darmorel549]

There so much going on in this episode, that only focusing one one thing feels so wrong, but Titan is this important. So Luz was bullied in the human realm, and it was said in one single line that was more mutter then yelled and has to be thought about is just.... aaaaaaa. Seriously, the line is 'Oh, no. I'm gonna be made fun of again.' that it. By itself it bad, but taking and applying it to some of Luz other traits, and it make a lot of sense. Luz flaw is that she doesnt think she deserve help, which is probably gotten from here. And then there tons of lines that are made worse by thins (ex Luz talking about Bosha to king in s1e8 says 'Even if I could, it's not worth it. You wouldn't understand how to handle teens like her'). There a lot more, but I leave that for you to discover if you want to.

I was waiting for hooty to eat the letter to see your reaction. I was pleased.

An episode for Uncle Hooty 🦉🦉🦉🦉

[@zeroknight1311]

Yo! Best episode! 1. Harpy Eda gets revealed as an amazing transformation for Eda's character arc regarding her curse. Plus we also find out more about the Owl Beast and see a new Character. Also potiental Lilith Harpy form in the future...? -BTW the new character wasn't originally going to be in the series. But when Dana and team was told that the series will have three 44 minute specials as season three, the added the collector and changed what they had planned for certain episodes as a result. This is clear due to a story board showing such a thing. 2. King's powers. His demon type being unknown sets up the mystery of what he is. Especially with the power he has. Plus the ending shows that we'll eventually get some form of answers regarding's King's origins. Since we have to wait for Hooty to cough up the letter left for King by the guy we seen in the last episode. 3. Luz's and Amity's relationship is stable. Tho Hooty kidnapping Amity just makes me think he had just ate Amity when she was close enough to The Owl house. Bonus: Hooty's face in the thumbnail is a meme. Also I think someone edited Hoot's neutral face onto a muscular body as apart of a Hoot once Said video..... Found the video it's by Luzbian_Amity here on KZbin. And I suggest not watching it since it may contain spoilers.

So, back in the Creepy Luz reveal, i said this was the episode we were most waiting for you to view. That was a lie! And i did consider adding a "well, except for one later" or somesuch, but decided against, on account of spoilers. Anyways, thank you! It's especially interesting since you were always pro-Hooty. As you may imagine, this is the episode that caused a large part of the fandom to turn around on him. (Though i believe the final scene de-converted a some people) Also, unrelated: "I'd never had a dream this pretty before" is the kind of line that gets sadder the more you think about it. I love it.
