*SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE FIRST SEASON*
The Owl House has been an absolute blast to watch over these past few months, Luz, Eda and Amity have become fast favourite characters of mine and I can't believe the first season is over already! The show delivered, and then KEPT delivering. I was an onslaught of laughs, heartwarming moments, beautiful animation and more ...

"A little bit of gayness" Amity: are you sure about that

[@linesinmotion]

If I say anything more than that i'll embarrass Amity 😔

[@shadowwriter329]

Yeah “little bit of gayness” isn’t best used for Amity’s gay panics. Super cute don’t get me wrong but oh the gay panic is strong with this one.

@@linesinmotion well season 2 is gonna come out when amity does so ehh

[@Willowwhisp90]

Oh boy you had no idea

[@Tintelinus]

Its funny, its a show set in a world of demons and monsters, yet to me one of its greatest strenghts of the show is how...wholesome and loveable it is. The show never feels...cynical to me, decpite the sarcastic jokes. Maybe its cause Luz is such an optimistic bundle of joy which sets the tone of the show as a whole idk but its something I love. There are serious moments, disturbing shit, genuine villians, important messages, sarcastic humour. But the world doesnt just feel heavy or hopeless. Its frankly amazing. For the record im not saying there is anything wrong with heavy moments, far from it. But the shows general tone just has this optimistic feel too it and frankly right now thats incredibly welcome.

[@linesinmotion]

This is also another really good perspective on the show, it always has this hopeful feel about it which is so infectious and leaves you finishing every episode wanting more of this bundle of joy main character (except maybe the ending of episode 18 haha!) Things go wrong for Luz all the time, she messes up a spell or she gets caught up in something she probably shouldn't, but it's so entertaining to watch because of that optimism and ... realistic? reactions she gives.. Any other young girl would be terrified travelling into a hell realm, but Luz absolutely loves the place!

[@Tintelinus]

@@linesinmotion Luz messes up a lot and can get both herself and others into trouble. But she very rarely if ever does it out of malice, she just doesnt think it through which I think makes it endearing rather than annoying. Plus as someone with ADHD god can I relate to fumbling into a mess with no ill intentions Xb.

[@812558]

This. I've noticed a running trend with animation aimed at a slightly older crowd trying to assure their viewers that their work "isn't for little kids" leaning way too hard into mean spirited humor, "tropes are bad" writing that seems to try to be "smarter" than its genre is purely through lampshade hanging and insulting other genre works and bleak - yet shallow - world building. Now you can totally make a good show that is dark and cynical in its writing and world building...but "dark" doesn't automatically equal "mature" and, when everyone's output seems so similar, it's really nice to have something with *actual* mature themes and subjects that doesn't treat itself like it needs to be grimdark and meanspirited to cover them.

[@philly_sports1558]

I agree. So much heart and wholesomeness is provided Luz being such a lovable protagonist.

[@chefboiarby304]

@@812558 That reminds me of Amazon Prime's "The Boys." It's a show that is a satire both of modern day American culture as well as the superhero genre. It definitely tries to be clever and edgy while carrying a very cynical tone throughout with lots of very dark moments, and yet it feels very refreshing and enjoyable. I think a big part of this is that the show has an ensemble of compelling characters and develops them very well.

For me, the first few episodes were a bit boring to me but the more episodes I watch, the more addicting and fun the show became. I’m really hyped for season 2. Anyways, excellent video, definitely needs more attention

[@linesinmotion]

The first few episodes of any 20 minute show are always some of the most difficult to write, from what I've researched - i imagine showing plot, character etc in a short amount of time is difficult 😔 But TOH worked for me from the start, it's nice to see how people grow into loving a show so differently! Thank you for watching and commenting, season 2 hype indeed!

[@pabloa8102]

lines in motion agree The first few episodes were actually surprisingly wholesome if partially set up Episode one was just Joy, the weirdos got to stick together, decapitation dating and Luzura were great, and it set the thesis that individuality is good while every episode places conditionals and limitations, providing nuance Ep 2 is right of the bat with this, with Luz learning that she needs to control her hyperfixations and that her fantasy life is just a fantasy after almost getting all 3 of them killed, and we get the wholesome scene with the 3 on owlbert over the isles Episode 3 was just fun, there wasn’t much more than character intros, but fun Ep 4 was a lovely allegory for chronic illnesses, mental atypicalitys and and the like, and having Luz learn a new spell, Lastly episode 5 was a deeper dive into the individuality lesson, an understanding of Eda’s take on the matter over covens, Liliths intro and also, Fun The worst case scenario, you giggle for 20 minutes, the best case scenario, you giggle for 20 minutes and go through an emotional roller coaster

[@simplyever-poet6349]

I think one of my favorite things about Owl House is the opening. It amazing me every time just how it so completely it captures the heart and spirit of the show.

The Owl House's comedy has always landed sweet spot after sweet spot in my heart, and I couldn't agree more of how much of a joy it is to watch because of well.... everything. It builds on the foundations of what makes a good fantasy and teen story, and just executes these so well. But most of all, I'm a straight guy but it is SUCH a blessing that this generation of kids get to have this in their childhood and teach them about gender identity. The greatest thing I will always appreciate about this show, is how it depicts Luz and Amity's relationship and how normal (as if high school romances are ever normal) it is just to fall in love and be in love. I so wish my generation had a Disney show to tell us that something like this isn't just okay but is also completely normal.

The thing I was excited about Miraculous Ladybug's Chloe for was the lesson you don't see in kids shows that bullies are people too, and that even bullies can change. The speculation to her becoming a hero was that she would eventually start to become nicer and all the bad things about are explained in a way that you see why she's nasty, how she could be a better person, but the handling of her character pails in comparison to Amity. Both of these characters have parents that are elite, and both of them are mistreated emotionally by at least one parent (For Amity it's both), and both have a moral compass that is hidden behind their need to be the best, and carry that they are better than others. But where as Amity starts seeing how she effects people and changes for the better, Chloe is written off as irredeemable by her own writers and pushed to be worse because they say she can't be a better person. I fell in love with both of these shows equally fast, but only one of them has the talent to actually go places and keep the characters interesting and more than two dimensional. I wanted ML to tell children that even bullies can change, and maybe they aren't little monsters. But The Owl House not only does it better, but with more realism, which is funny because it's a cartoon about magic and fantasy.

[@linesinmotion]

I actually need to get around to watching Ladybug (made animation fan, i know 😅) But this is definitely a character trope I enjoy, and TOH crew have done a lovely job with Amity, i agree!

Well said sister. However there is one thing I feel I must disagree with you and that’s Hooty. I absolutely love that Annoying Bird Tube.

I think it’s safe to say most of us saw the way he made short work of the Emperor’s Coven who are supposed to be the best of the best and we even saw him hijack one of their bodies like a sock puppet.

Professionally made script, smooth editing, and also the jokes sprinkled throughout the video are icing on this beautifully crafted cake. Your voice is also very calming and I could listen to it all day. You deserve more views and subscribers!

[@linesinmotion]

😭 😭 This comment made my morning, thank you for such kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sand5464]

This video is such a classic. I remember watching this when it was first released and ive watched it about 5 times already. Such a great video Man I miss that season 1 era of toh. The speculation, the shipping, green haired amity, the community. It was so fun back then. Not that its not fun right now, but its just not the same Edit: Welp, the show has ended. I'm actually doing a marathon of Owl House videos that I really enjoyed during my time in the fandom. Farewell to this masterpiece of a show.

[@johngehan3840]

This is such a great video. Love the owl house so much, great to see such high quality stuff being made about it already.

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you very much! And same here, the wait for season two will be horrible 😭!

[@wileecoyotegenius5955]

Amazing video. I never expected The Owl House to be so good when I first started watching it off of a friend's recommendation. At first I loved Luz and her genre-savvy yet bubbly and optimistic attitude, but as the show progressed my favorite part became Amity and her slowly opening up to genuine friendships. I can relate a lot to her need for privacy and her fear of judgement, and it's inspiring to see her overcome it. Also, I'm not usually huge into shipping but OMG LUZ AND AMITY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER IT IS TOO MUCH FOR ME! Overall this show is wonderful and it's been a beacon of joy for me in these very trying times. I can't wait for season 2.

[@linesinmotion]

Absolutely love Amity, she's easily one of my favourite characters and a big highlight of the series for me! Her and Luz really are super cute, love how the show has been dealing with them so far, and I can't wait to see more - thanks for watching!

[@sadhbh6889]

It’s a shame that this show faces quite some controversially despite the positive affect that it had on people. Great video analysis and commentary you described this show perfectly 👍

[@linesinmotion]

Very sadly, can't say I'm surprised... Any children's tv show that includes topics surrounding LGBT issues are always flooded with hate. Thankfully though, TOH has brought in a lot of positive responses and means a lot to ppl! Thanks for watching the video 😊

[@homuras]

im going to miss this show so bad

[@zer0w0lf94]

6:50 This Gus edit was brought to you by The Oracle Coven. Coming back here after Season 2 and the first third of Season 3 is quite nostalgic. We really had no idea what we were in for. I can only imagine how this video will make us all feel after the series is over.

[@lonniegabbie]

This video is absolutely fantastic, the production is impeccable, you’re talented!!! You deserve many more subs!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you so much for the love and support!

[@ClubedeLivrosdeAzura]

Great video, very informative. Also, I love this editing!! The Owl House has lots of potential, and I'm already looking foward for the next season

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you, your words mean a lot! And same, i'm getting itchy waiting for a new season already haha

[@esfdoggo399]

I really do love the show and how unique and quirky it can be. Dana and the team really made something here. Hoot hoot

[@linesinmotion]

They did indeed! Makes me even more excited for season 2!

[@soundsofstabbing3627]

The Grom episode was amazing and it was really cool to see Lumity become canon but some of my favorite Lumity lines were from the sports episode like the comments on cute uniforms and "wow... sports."

[@Tykool]

Wow, can we talk about the editing in this video? I loved it so much and it really stood out the me. It was very entertaining to watch, great work!!

[@linesinmotion]

😭😭 Thank you!!!! I find editing to be one of my favourite parts of video making, I'm glad people seem to be liking it, much appreciated!

[@michaelpascal9845]

I WANT SEASON TWO NOW!!! However made this good job

[@linesinmotion]

I'm in the same boat - thanks for watching!

[@witchstormm]

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE FACT OUR REP IS SPARSE! People tend to forget, so thank you for that!!

[@linesinmotion]

No worried at all, it's the truth so!

[@Unreported29]

What's amazing me from this show is how they were able to recreate a gravity falls vibe but at the same time being 100 miles away from it. Saison 1 was a grate opening for a new show because of how captivating episodes are getting the more we are watching it. But i feel like we missed a lot of thing that happened like we're does Hulu come from, Luz family, and others. Saison 2 is really doing great to solve that and I really hope that they will fully fixe it at the end of saison 2.

[@kiiyang2535]

I absolutely love Eda, so spunky and very lively. She's the best character to me in this show, and what tops it off is that her VA was also in Bojack Horseman as Bojacks mother. It's so jarring to hear both characters with the same voice :0

[@linesinmotion]

Eda is SO funny, the show would not be the same without her snark and snorty laugh!

[@chillysaurus5398]

*I loved it! :) The editing, narration, and slight jokes were wonderful! ✨I really hope this channel blows up :DD*

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you, I appreciate this lovely comment! 😊

[@skiesquiggles7319]

The quality of this video is... literally top teir. I was consistently blown away by the thoroughness and skill of the editing here. Couldn't agree more with the content of the video aswell, love this show and couldn't be more excited for season 2!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked the editing, it was a lot of fun at times (if not challenging too haha). And i'm eagerly waiting for season 2 as well 😊

[@sunlitsonata6853]

And it's over now. I'd love to see a followup video to this covering the rest of the show but don't know if it's in the cards.

[@Hi_Names_Nat]

This is such a good summary of why I love the show, but I think there's so much more that could potentially be talked about in season two. The show's jump to being more serialized, the representation of trans and non-binary characters in Raine, the way Luz and Amity's romantic relationship is written to be so much more grounded, real and sweet, giving us (imo) the best LGBTQ relationship in all of western cartoons so far, and the way the plot ducks and weaves around itself in incredibly brilliant ways that hint at the show being written much more for older audiences. All fantastic things that could be deep-dived, this show has absolutely so much to reflect on and appreciate about it.

[@ChadZLumenarcus]

The Owl House feels so much like a dearly loved project by everyone involved. The world building and consistency building is amazing even with all the chaos and seemingly crazy monsters and magic going on in the show. Something many shows fail at is hitting the right notes of what are limits and possibilities which quickly deflate any moment of tension or drama. Every episode feels alive. The characters feel like people who were observed and written about. It's seriously an amazingly well done show and I love it.

[@plushietwinninjas4990]

One if the reasons I enjoy it is because of the theories. After going through gravityfalls it had a fusion of hilarious humor and theories for some audiences. After the show ended it felt like The Owl House took up on the theories while Amphibia took on the humor. But that's just my opinion either way both of the shows are amazing

[@awally2319]

I was so closed minded about watching other Animated shows aside from Steven Universe. Because SU was (and still is) my favorite show of all time and I never believed there could be a show as good if not better than SU. But then... The Owl House came along... Something... Happened when I saw this show. It's just... A way of life for me now. And I adore this show and came to realize that I can always have multiple favorites of anything! Cartoons, Movies, Games, etc! And as of right now... Steven Universe & The Owl House are my 2 favorite cartoon shows of ALL TIME! Heck not even cartoon shows! Best shows for me of all time! (Hilda & Avatar are pretty close tho) So much that I'll make a video about it soon. I enjoyed this video and hope to see more from you! Cartoons are my life! I breath animation everyday! It's a way of life for me. Can't wait to see more in the future. "Here we are in the future!"

[@linesinmotion]

Hilda, Avatar, SU and TOH are all VERY good choices! I'm glad this show resonated with you and that you're enjoying it so much!! Here's to a great season 2!

[@awally2319]

@@linesinmotion To a great season 2 indeed! And for many future seasons as well! Let's hope it doesn't get canceled from dumb homophobes and religious moms.

[@linesinmotion]

@@awally2319 That's my only fear tbh, not having further seasons! It seems to have gained a LOT of good traction for Disney online however, and it'd look really bad on them to cancel one of their first shows that has lgbt leads.

[@awally2319]

@@linesinmotion Let us hope to avoid that outcome. I have faith in the creator Dana. And hope that she is smart enough and won't let the show get cancelled due to stupid backlash. The world is changing for the better. More accepting and more wholesome. And it's time for the people to change as well. In the words of wise skeleton... "You can always be a good person. If you just try"

[@reynbow9841]

This is SUCH a good analysis video,, I’d usually get bored but this one was really interesting

[@linesinmotion]

Phew, my biggest fear was the video not being engaging enough, but people like you give me a nice little reassurance! Thanks for watching!

[@R4ggedyM4n]

Now S2 needs to do one simple thing. Have Luz and Amity go on a date and become gfs. Bonus points if Luz doesn't realize it's a date until the last second.

[@linesinmotion]

Oblivousness to being crushed on can be such a fun trope, don't get me wrong I imagine Dana will do as much as she can to fully canon-ise (that's not a word, but it is now!) Lumity... But I find Luz being slightly obvious so funny and I hope we get a bit more of it... Especially if we start to get Lilith & the twins in on the know too ... That's just asking for chaos.

[@anothergamer112]

If there's one thing I love most about the show it's the spooky rustic aesthetic of the setting. It's like perpetual Halloween and I love it.

[@linesinmotion]

Oh I absolutelyyyyy agree! The background artists did an amazing job with this show, the setting really brings this spooky charisma to the story, and yet it feels so real and lived in

[@frimi8593]

0:17 this is untrue. Luz can go back home whenever the hell she wants. [SPOILERS] well, not anymore, but you know what I mean

[@sonialopez-cruz6649]

That's true but she was referring to the fact that in the first episode Eda did not allow Luz to leave. She basically forced Luz to help her and King get a crown. In exchange for that she would be able to go home. Otherwise she would have been basically stranded in the boiling Isles since Eda wasn't going to let her go willingly.

[@linesinmotion]

^ Ah yes, this is what I had meant during that part of the video, but I can see why it could have been taken differently - I should have made that part more clear!

[@mystic5848]

This is my favorite disney show chat wait for new characters in season 2 and all new mysteries

Same here! Looking forward to seeing the Blight parents especially, no doubt we'll have some Blight family drama next season! Thanks for watching :)

Glad to be one of your first subscribers, keep going your work is so well done ;) (Also sorry for the possibly bad writing)

Wendy's such a perfect voice for that character. I mean, I thought, "That's Wendy Malock," the second I heard it but great casting.
