Thanks I’ve watched the owl house for years since it came out made my family watched it so whoever told him and reminded me about it thanks and now I can watch with Danny
A little fun fact: Hooty's voice is just a bad Mickey Mouse impression Alex Hirsch did for a joke, but Dana Terrace found it so funny she told him to keep it
@@stygian6642yeah, king, Hooty and multiple background characters are voiced by Alex and the character who was locked up for their conspiracy theories was voiced by Dana Terrace, who created the show
It was a scratch (a standin voice to help with animation) voice initially. Dana heard the joke Alex made literally just to make her laugh, and said "Yep. That's the Owl House."
"Lady I don't think you know how candles work!" She canonically doesn't. Non-magical tools confuse the shit out of her. The wants to burn things part is also very accurate. You got the essence of Eda's character in one line of dialogue. I don't know whether to be impressed with your analytical skills or the writers for making the scene.
@@KingTyranitar-mg1jkthat’s sort of why people think so, they think Bill becoming King is him getting recompense. Not the mention his whole “A-x-o-l-o-t-o-l my time has come to burn, I invoke the ancient power that I may return” speech
To be more specific: the creator of this show is Dana Terrace, who worked on the Gravity Falls team. Alex Hirsch features as a voice actor and was a creative consultant, but he’s not the creator himself! Still, Dana definitely brought a lot of that Gravity Falls vibe forward!
I was waiting for someone to comment this. I can't believe this comment is so far down. Every time he said Alex made the show, I was like "could you not do 2 seconds of research?"
The fact that Danny uttered the sentence "Luz is trying to find a balance between wanting to be understood and respecting people's boundaries" not halfway through episode 1 must be remembered for the finale season
Fun fact: Eda is heavily implied to be Grunkle Stan's ex-wife (she married him in las Vegas to steal his car and all his winnings). It's never officially confirmed, but he talks about her in one of GF's DVD commentaries and what he says fits Eda too well to not be intetional
I love that Luz' response to the "shadow box that reflects only sadness" is not "that's NOT what it does" but "that's not ALL it does" idk if she's saying tv's are indeed also sad or is just being careful to not completely shatter Eda's worldview but it's very sweet either way
I love that Luz lost Danny immediately with the snakes, he called her an “unsalvagable child”, and then she had him right back with her love of editing AMVs. Like the most violent 30sec character arc
"If we had Griffins flying around vomiting spiders, I would dedicate my entire life towards hunting Griffin into extinction" close enough, welcome back belos 2.0
11:16 Despite how popular this show was, Disney completely dropped the ball by never producing ANY merch for the show. Everything you see is made by the fandom.
now that you mention it, that really spells out how determined Disney was to torpedo this show. it was still accessible to kids, but I'm sure the adult fans could've justified it's continued production through merch sales alone
I think that’s one of the reasons why its such an interesting show when you look at it from the perspective of a disney cartoon. A lot of fandoms like to headcannon that characters neurodivergent, but this is probably one of the first disney shows to be more direct about it and other bits of representation.
Okay, but that doesn't mean they don't have to learn to navigate through the "normal" world. They don't have to embrace it, but the truth is that there must still be a balance of Conformity vs Individuality to exist and function in a society.
If Disney had given it full support it would have been a Harry Potter killer - Instead it was their highest rated show with almost no merch or promotion.
"She should be taken to the vet and put down" is a WILD line, considering that Luz's mom is ACTUALLY a veterinarian! 😂 But seriously, Owl House is SUCH a great show and I will never forgive the House of Mouse for canning it like they did!
As a DEVOTED Gravity falls fan, Owl house was a heaven send for the silly characters that then become encased on a VERY SERIOUS PLOT that leaves them ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATIZED. Side note: I literally CANNOT WAIT for you to meet the Golden Guard.
“Gravity falls voice actor carry-overs” I mean it’s *mostly* Alex Hirsh, we did kinda recommend another show where half the cast is voiced by a guy named Alex.
“To clarify, I’m not gay. But for some reason, that’s my brand - people *love* sending me shows about two boys trying their absolute hardest *not* to hold hands for like a whole six season series” 😂 and Danny, we love you for sticking it out with us
When the owl house first came out, i was a stressed eighth grader, stuck in covid, and i clung to that show like a life line. Luz, King and Eda (and other characters further down the road) got me through absurd times in my life. Im now one year from graduating and whenever i want to curl up and die, I rewatch this show. Theres so many fun facts i can spew about this show, so many theories that have all long expired, but i was THERE for them. Little Miss Perfect and all (iykyk)
@@Evan-kit *started* before covid, the end of season one (or at least the gap between s1-2) was very much during covid. I remember discovering it at about the same age at the same time
The show is made by Dana Terrace. While Alex Hirsch is heavily involved voicing multiple characters ( for example King and Hooty) he did not create this show
It actually does turn into a cold case file later on. Theres a milk carton in the background of Luz's mom's kitchen with a missing person pic of a character from a different show that also slipped into a different dimension
@ssnekky yes it's more funny cuz it is three characters hooty king and Steve who are played by him the same amount of characters in the hellaverse who are played by Alex Brightman
Fun fact, the creator of the show is actually Dana Terrance, Alex Hirsch just does a few voices (hooty, king, the guard, and many many many side characters)
not really, Alex was actually a creative consultant or something in that direction, I can`t recall exactly. So he is involved in a lot of the takes and choices the show makes. So he is not just a VA
@@martinkrastev6325 fair enough, I didn't mean it in a "that's all he did" type of way but more of a "he was mainly involved in the voice acting section" I also recently found out that him and Dana dated for a little bit so that's cool too
Luz: such a genuinely good character, she makes you forget her acts of domestic terrorism Eda: likes setting stuff on fire King: a menacing demon overlord trapped in a cute little body that wants snuggles you think you're joking, but you have such a solid understanding of these people
The line about king either being an overloard trapped in a cute little body or wanting cuddles, is so funny to me. given the theories about that very thing, and that alex voiced him very similarly to bill cipher
Fun Fact: The episode titles of each season spell out a phrase, and each episode contains a code that can be deciphered to create words that form another phrase. So far, the title phrase is "A", and the code phrase is "Two".
OMG I FOUND IT!!!! I won't spoil it for anyone else who wants to find it but that is SO COOL, thank you so much for commenting this, I can't believe they put in the effort to do that, so cool!!! 😊😊😊
I think the reason why so many people recommended TOH and similar shows is bc not only are you a funny reactor, but unlike a good chunk of other popular reactors, you're not weirdly racist/homophobic/transphobic/sexist/etc. You take things fairly seriously when it calls for seriousness and you don't make overly "edgy" jokes that feel gross. Based on what other people have commented and how I feel, you really make your channel feel safe for people who want edgy reactors that don't take stuff too far. And that's why ppl keep recommending gay stuff and tumblr-popular shows lmao, it's bc they know you're not gonna be weird about it and actually appreciate it for the reasons they do. And that's exactly why I'm here too! Thank you for being the funny straight guy who appreciates silly gay shows!!!
Y'know, that's not something I'd ever consciously clocked, but you are completely correct. He makes jokes that smack me in the face and catch me off guard because I don't expect them and usually go in a direction I wouldn't have connected them to, not because they're cheap or edgy for shock value.
For the record, TOH was given a shortened season 3 because it "didn't fit the Disney brand", which is generally assumed to mean that it was cancelled for being gay. However, since the executives knew it was going to be gay when they greenlit it, and the creator said she didn't think they were homophobic, there's also a theory that it was cancelled for being too structurally different to other shows on Disney Channel. Edit: I think the person who cancelled it wasn't part of the group that greenlit it, so they may be exempt from Dana's statement about not being homophobic. I'd think there would have been more executive backlash towards the gayness in TOH than the minimal amount Dana has mentioned were that the reason, but it still could be.
That possibly makes even less sense considering they let Gravity Falls and Amphibia air with no issue, two shows with vibes that somewhat mirror one another. Like for crying out loud Amphibia and Owl House are essentially both western isekai
@@shadowslime3640 Amphibia is notably more episodic than The Owl House, which is what I meant by structural difference. They are quite similar in other ways.
Didn't executives change? They got a second season because it was already greenlit and then the new person didn't sign off on a third. Dana said she didn't think they were homophobic but honestly if they were i doubt they'd just have outwardly shown or directly said it. So honestly who knows.
17:17 Wait until you see just how long it takes her mom to find out she never went to the summer camp. Also, if you think the griffins are bad, wait until you see the giraffes.
"I don't want her running around getting all horned up because she looks at a bold soup and thinks it's an orgy" is a wild statement that I thought would never be made 😂
So I remember when this cartoon was very early in development, like before Disney picked it up. It started as an indie project. And the reason the boiling isles is terrifying is because it was originally just Hell. You can imagine why that had to change for Disney.
@@stevenhedge2850 yeah but they did that knowing it was thebest way to not make both sides as angry. Quite literally a PR move to try and keep up the totally not bigotted 🙄reasons for cancelling. It wasn't really a chance for the show to finish upo, it was a chance for them to keep making money. (Them beinbg disney)
it still astounds me that this show wasn’t given much merch in the way of toys, even though a plushie King is THE BIGGEST MISSED OPPORTUNITY EVER - so much so that a popular fanmade one was created by The Mystery Shack very early on in the show’s run and is still sold to this day lol
Fun fact: the giant-nose conspiracy character is a caricature of the show's creator (who also voices her)! Also yes, please more reactions to Owl House! Your shock, laughter, and rants had me laugh-wheezing! Thank you!
From the video point 16:05 on Luz Noceda uses funny sayings as spells. To connect the word "Expecto", the Latin word for "I expect", with the word flying sounds logic. Because in this moment Luz really expects that she can fly away with that Owl broomstick. The formulation "Magicus Escapicus" seems to come from the cartoon series Magic Mixies. Because in this series there is a young Latin girl named Sienna that uses the spell formulation Magicus Mixus in every episode in order to create a Mixling or in order to transform things. And Luz Noceda from the series The Owl House is also a Latin girl just like Sienna from Magic Mixies. I confess that Luz represents a wonderful adorable character. The complete series The Owl House is phenomenal.
danny, please i BEG. do more episodes on this show. it is probably one of my favs if not my favorite show ever. the first season might start a little slow, but when the true story starts, youre gonna get sucked in. that almost gaurtanteed
The owl house is one of my favourite shows ever it means the world to me as an autistic person to have a show with so many neurodivergent coded characters along with a story which perfectly represents the struggles we face along with the communities we can form from those struggles
danny, please, i’m begging you, keep reacting to this show. i need it like i need oxygen to live. you don’t understand how good the show gets, if you like this episode you will LOVE the episodes to come. also best character appears in s2, hes THE tumblr boy. you will know when you see him, trust me.
Eh even at it’s heaviest ToH isn’t *that* bad. There’s some pretty emotional individual story beats, but I’d say the show over all is a lot less heavy than something like She-Ra gets.
@@MegaApostel no it’s absolutely a kids show. Maybe more of a tweenager demographic, but its definitely for kids. There’s some dark elements to it, but its only “dark” in terms of how overly sanitized so much kids western programing is today. It’s still lighter than older cartoons were like BatmanTAS or even some parts of Avatar.
7:17 I have no idea. Given what state she lives in, the fireworks alone should have gotten her expelled and six months of juvie. The principal had to have pulled strings to keep her out of there.
To be fair, when she gets sent to the principals offics shes basically told to just start acting normal, not to stop bringing dangerous animals to school😂
@WaltDevil060 & what part of "stop being weird" & comparing that to getting over excited in a play makes it clear that the dangerous animals are the concerning part & not the personality being the issue? Plus, lots of kids would love(& have) brought animals they love to school. The only thing "not normal" abt Luz's is her choice in animal, not the fact she brought them in
He's doing it. He's actually doing it. The Owl House now, She-Ra next. I don't care what you say, a person can hope. And Danny's commentary would be hilarious.
I cannot wait for the reactions to the later seasons and storylines, because it looks light hearted and whimsical. Then it just crushes you and lets you bleed out :3
Danny while watching season 1: " it's not outwardly saying this is gonna be pg-13 strap in for blood!" Danny while watching season 2: " I stand corrected."
I know you don't watch live action series, but there's this thing called Good Omens, about angel and a demon living on earth and are friends in secret, who get the news for heaven and hell that Armageddon is coming. But because they both love living on earth so much, they decide they're going to try and stop it. (They're also gay, if you couldn't tell)
One of my favorite jokes in all of media is Mabel not believing something and saying let me get my skepticals and proceeds to put on glasses. I laughed unreasonably hard
I actually had a middle school student recommend this show to me. They pestered me until I watched it and I'm glad I did. Not only did I enjoy it myself but it gave me another avenue to talk and connect with my student on their terms
as someone who has written lore revolving around the baby sensory videos with dancing food, i felt attacked by him saying the food fanfic girl needing to be behind bars
This show wasn't created by Alex Hirsch btw, it was created by Dana Terrace. Alex Hirsch was involved in the production as far as I know and he does voice act in the show but please lets give credit where credit is due
Yes. It was created by Dana Terrace. During that time her and Alex Hirsch used to be together, but have now broken up. BUT in Gravity Falls, years before Owl House, there is a shot when Dipper is flipping pages and you see the black silhouette of Eda in the book. SPOILER (Maybe) Fan theory that Eda and Grunkle Stan used to date. Both of them talking about a certain ex.
"doesnt give me much on where the show is gonna go" the first season is notorious for this, it gets real REAL fast later. so glad you watched this~!!! please finish the series~!
All I can say is if you have a decent time with the first few episodes, it just gets substantially better. Episode 15 is when Dana Terrace said the show really became her own, and that's when the quality starts rocketing.
look forward to meeting Hunter! He may be traumatized but uh you'll see soon enough (He first appears in season 2, but pretty much becomes a major character by season 3)
It was Dana Terrace who created the show. And it wasn’t cancelled for being too gay- it just didn’t ( at the time) fit the Disney brand since it covered darker themes per se. Though, I’m pretty sure a new executive who came onto the Disney scene ( not the one who greenlit the show) was in fact not a fan of the gay direction. So he continued with the motion to shorten the third season.
Sooooo..... what your saying is, the executive nerfed it, because it was too gay? I guess I'm just really mad about the current direction Disney claims they are going, when they canceled Owl House and replace it with slop, and then expect us to lap it up.
DANNY'S STARTING TOH??? LETS FUCKING GOOO!!!! Luz is one of my absolute favorite characters (as well as Hunter, who appears in S2). She is so relatable and such a fresh air for a protagonist. Not that others are bad, there's just not many protagonist that represents the demographic Luz represents, which is a shame because there are so many Luz's looking for a piece of themselves on media.

What?!?! I thought the only message was "Thanks For Watching" with the last 3 episodes, theres more?!!?!? I need to look into this lol
@@bionicsquid5577 First letter of every title spells something out.
OMG I FOUND IT!!!! I won't spoil it for anyone else who wants to find it but that is SO COOL, thank you so much for commenting this, I can't believe they put in the effort to do that, so cool!!! 😊😊😊
Ofc Alex forces hidden messages into shows he’s working on
@@HenryGray-sy4pu so cool :3
I think the reason why so many people recommended TOH and similar shows is bc not only are you a funny reactor, but unlike a good chunk of other popular reactors, you're not weirdly racist/homophobic/transphobic/sexist/etc. You take things fairly seriously when it calls for seriousness and you don't make overly "edgy" jokes that feel gross. Based on what other people have commented and how I feel, you really make your channel feel safe for people who want edgy reactors that don't take stuff too far. And that's why ppl keep recommending gay stuff and tumblr-popular shows lmao, it's bc they know you're not gonna be weird about it and actually appreciate it for the reasons they do. And that's exactly why I'm here too! Thank you for being the funny straight guy who appreciates silly gay shows!!!
this, i second this so hard, this is so true.
So real
Y'know, that's not something I'd ever consciously clocked, but you are completely correct.
He makes jokes that smack me in the face and catch me off guard because I don't expect them and usually go in a direction I wouldn't have connected them to, not because they're cheap or edgy for shock value.
this is so true
Definitely agree with this! I love how much Danny's audience trusts him with their favorite shows :)
For the record, TOH was given a shortened season 3 because it "didn't fit the Disney brand", which is generally assumed to mean that it was cancelled for being gay. However, since the executives knew it was going to be gay when they greenlit it, and the creator said she didn't think they were homophobic, there's also a theory that it was cancelled for being too structurally different to other shows on Disney Channel.
Edit: I think the person who cancelled it wasn't part of the group that greenlit it, so they may be exempt from Dana's statement about not being homophobic. I'd think there would have been more executive backlash towards the gayness in TOH than the minimal amount Dana has mentioned were that the reason, but it still could be.
That possibly makes even less sense considering they let Gravity Falls and Amphibia air with no issue, two shows with vibes that somewhat mirror one another. Like for crying out loud Amphibia and Owl House are essentially both western isekai
Just thought I'd mention it Amphibia was also shortened as well by Disney I believe, dunno much about gravity Falls though@@shadowslime3640
@shadowslime3640 ... I wouldnt say no issue, Alex hersh had to fight disney a lot to include the stuff in the show
@@shadowslime3640 Amphibia is notably more episodic than The Owl House, which is what I meant by structural difference. They are quite similar in other ways.
Didn't executives change? They got a second season because it was already greenlit and then the new person didn't sign off on a third. Dana said she didn't think they were homophobic but honestly if they were i doubt they'd just have outwardly shown or directly said it. So honestly who knows.
17:17 Wait until you see just how long it takes her mom to find out she never went to the summer camp.
Also, if you think the griffins are bad, wait until you see the giraffes.
You and Luz having the exact same reaction to seeing King for the first time is incredible
I think that is most people reacting to King for the first time
8:11
“Lady I don’t think you know how candles work. I think you just want to burn things.”
Remembering young Eda….
I mean, he’s not wrong!
YOU DID NOT.
"I don't want her running around getting all horned up because she looks at a bold soup and thinks it's an orgy" is a wild statement that I thought would never be made 😂
I love how almost everyone is like everyone in the Conformitorium should be freed, except HER, she needs to stay here.
So I remember when this cartoon was very early in development, like before Disney picked it up. It started as an indie project. And the reason the boiling isles is terrifying is because it was originally just Hell.
You can imagine why that had to change for Disney.
the worst part about it being cancelled is that disney still uses it in promotions to show how inclusive they are like they didn’t literally cancel it
Cancelled shows don’t get finales though it wasn’t cancelled the third season was shortened but they did give it a chance to wrap up unlike most shows
@@stevenhedge2850 yeah but they did that knowing it was thebest way to not make both sides as angry. Quite literally a PR move to try and keep up the totally not bigotted 🙄reasons for cancelling. It wasn't really a chance for the show to finish upo, it was a chance for them to keep making money. (Them beinbg disney)
@@christophersgrignoli1034 but there was no merchandising so they weren’t making money they didn’t need to make the specials and finale
Disney promised the creators a full three season and then cancelled it, it was still cancelled even though they were given a chance to wrap it up
@@stevenhedge2850need to no. Want to yes. Same ordeal SU went through by their final lap. Even GravFalls got hit when they dare add a gay character
Fun fact, The Owl House is actually classed as a “Comedy/Horror”!
That adds up
Mostly season two
@@YoelSchwarzyeah
I have seen very little of this show, but I can tell you right now that that's super accurate
"I think you just want to burn things" Yeah, yeah that describes Eda pretty well
_"Either he's a menacing demon Overlord trapped in a cute little body or he wants snuggies. You can't be both!"_
*King:* CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
“Oh…oh no…I’m FEELING!”
Welcome to the show Danny!
"And what happened then? Well, on RUclips they say,
That Danny's heart grew three sizes that day.

The boxes that it checks are

"What the hell is the Owl House?"
Me: Probably the best serialized cartoon since Gravity Falls
“Two boys trying not to hold hands” sounds like THIS GUY should watch Luca
“I like this, this is cute”
…just wait till season 2….
its always season 2 where the wholesome fun gets absolutely destroyed
@@rockcandyeyeball (shudders in good omens 2 flashbacks)
it still astounds me that this show wasn’t given much merch in the way of toys, even though a plushie King is THE BIGGEST MISSED OPPORTUNITY EVER - so much so that a popular fanmade one was created by The Mystery Shack very early on in the show’s run and is still sold to this day lol
The way I tell you how I search the internet for hootie merch....It makes me so had
Fun fact: the giant-nose conspiracy character is a caricature of the show's creator (who also voices her)!
Also yes, please more reactions to Owl House! Your shock, laughter, and rants had me laugh-wheezing! Thank you!
From the video point 16:05 on Luz Noceda uses funny sayings as spells. To connect the word "Expecto", the Latin word for "I expect", with the word flying sounds logic. Because in this moment Luz really expects that she can fly away with that Owl broomstick. The formulation "Magicus Escapicus" seems to come from the cartoon series Magic Mixies. Because in this series there is a young Latin girl named Sienna that uses the spell formulation Magicus Mixus in every episode in order to create a Mixling or in order to transform things. And Luz Noceda from the series The Owl House is also a Latin girl just like Sienna from Magic Mixies. I confess that Luz represents a wonderful adorable character. The complete series The Owl House is phenomenal.
danny, please i BEG. do more episodes on this show. it is probably one of my favs if not my favorite show ever. the first season might start a little slow, but when the true story starts, youre gonna get sucked in. that almost gaurtanteed
Can’t wait for Danny to meet the ✨golden guard✨
honestly he's either going to love him or hate him no in-between and I cannot *WAIT* to witness that
@that_one_raccoon if he hates him, he'll lighten up come hollow mind
@Vixen1409 eh, maybe, or maybe the opposite. Might love "The Golden Guard" but hate "Hunter." Wouldn't be the first.
I can HEAR him making fun of him
@@Luzisaustralian ESPECIALLY his little hair worm
11:05 “why did I love that bit?” summarized all of my feelings for Hooty. Can’t explain it, just love that bird/tube/worm/HIM

The way this is written like someones pronouns in their bio makes me cackle- “my pronouns are bird/tube/worm/him!!!”
10:59 The start of a great journey to crippling addiction to merch. Ah, such nostalgia.
The owl house is one of my favourite shows ever it means the world to me as an autistic person to have a show with so many neurodivergent coded characters along with a story which perfectly represents the struggles we face along with the communities we can form from those struggles
Facts (from autistic person)
danny, please, i’m begging you, keep reacting to this show. i need it like i need oxygen to live. you don’t understand how good the show gets, if you like this episode you will LOVE the episodes to come. also best character appears in s2, hes THE tumblr boy. you will know when you see him, trust me.
AGREED
“We love you Danny” we say in unison.
We love you danny
We love you danny
We love you Danny
We love you Danny
we love you danny
15:28 kills me i keep coming back just to hear him go "OH MY GOD"
the owl house is one of those shows that was made for kids but then gets really depressing because teenagers and adults watched it more
Actually, the age rating was 12+. The target audience was young teens and above.
Eh even at it’s heaviest ToH isn’t *that* bad. There’s some pretty emotional individual story beats, but I’d say the show over all is a lot less heavy than something like She-Ra gets.
This show was never made for kids
the Story was much darker - The story was town down a lot because of Disney
@@MegaApostel no it’s absolutely a kids show. Maybe more of a tweenager demographic, but its definitely for kids. There’s some dark elements to it, but its only “dark” in terms of how overly sanitized so much kids western programing is today. It’s still lighter than older cartoons were like BatmanTAS or even some parts of Avatar.
Post said show was made for kids
but this was not the writer of the stories intent.
yes the end result that got aired is for kids
16:48 "OH! OH NO, I'M FEELING!!!" is so real
😂😂 Oh honey, you've got a big storm coming.
Best part of the video his reaction to feelings
The owl house:exists
The fandom:GAY.
gæ
7:17 I have no idea. Given what state she lives in, the fireworks alone should have gotten her expelled and six months of juvie. The principal had to have pulled strings to keep her out of there.
Connecticut apparently
THE OWL HOUSE 🗣️🗣️ (enjoy Danny. You will love it)
To be fair, when she gets sent to the principals offics shes basically told to just start acting normal, not to stop bringing dangerous animals to school😂
Which is part of being normal. What type of kid brings live snakes and spiders to school?
@WaltDevil060 & what part of "stop being weird" & comparing that to getting over excited in a play makes it clear that the dangerous animals are the concerning part & not the personality being the issue?
Plus, lots of kids would love(& have) brought animals they love to school. The only thing "not normal" abt Luz's is her choice in animal, not the fact she brought them in
"This is an unsalvegable kid."
Me, who was just like Luz growing up, who grew up to own many snakes and plays TTRPGs.
question do you bring snakes to and to let them loose at school
Did you also plan to let off fireworks inside school buildings?
13:49 "there's a lot of traits in Luz that I see in myself" *Neurodivergent radar freaking out in the back*
"This is going to be a pg show"
OH DANNY WAIT JUST WAIT
Shhhh SHHhh!!! Hehe hehe..Let it happen…it’s a cannon event.
@@Justanotherqueer7476 CAN'T WAIT
This is the kind of PG that gives kids nightmares and also changes their lives for the better.
@@grey8288 yup
He's doing it. He's actually doing it. The Owl House now, She-Ra next.
I don't care what you say, a person can hope. And Danny's commentary would be hilarious.
HE HAS TO WATCH SHE RA
YES PLEASE
Ohhhh I love She-Ra! I feel like it takes a little bit to ramp up, but the characters really pulled me in!
Yes she ra has to be next after he finishes all of the owl house
This, this would be excellent
I cannot wait for the reactions to the later seasons and storylines, because it looks light hearted and whimsical.
Then it just crushes you and lets you bleed out :3
I can't wait for Belos and the Collector!
I cant wait to see the light die out of his eyes as he watches how belos treats Hunter. Thats gonna be fun
16:14 kicking my legs like an excited kid rn bc Danny caught the reference *AND* remembered which HP spell makes things float 😆😆😊
Actually king can be both, king is very much both a menacing demon overlord and he also wants snuggies :3
17:00 I'm not about to claim Luz stops doing crimes, but it's usually for better reasons after this
Holy shit we back in Owl House content on RUclips, my main purpose of watching this is just to see how reacts to Kings Tide and Hunter's secret
Im excited to see lumity
Fr tho
@@galiggshalfpint6269OMG I LOVE LUMITY SO MUCH
SHUSH SHUSH LET HIM WAIT, WE WANT TO SEE ALL OF IT WE CANT TELL HIM ANYTHING LET HIM NOT EXPECT THE FUTURE
As well as Enchanting Grom Fright and Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door
Danny while watching season 1: " it's not outwardly saying this is gonna be pg-13 strap in for blood!"
Danny while watching season 2: " I stand corrected."
I know you don't watch live action series, but there's this thing called Good Omens, about angel and a demon living on earth and are friends in secret, who get the news for heaven and hell that Armageddon is coming. But because they both love living on earth so much, they decide they're going to try and stop it. (They're also gay, if you couldn't tell)
So that’s what Good Omens is about nice
Omg it would be so amazing if danny watched GO! Its the perfect balance of tumblr, gay, and unexpected pain!
Please please please say this happens
Yes please
YEEESSSSS I love good omens
“Oh thank god this show is actually funny” oh just you wait Danny. Just you wait.
One of my favorite jokes in all of media is Mabel not believing something and saying let me get my skepticals and proceeds to put on glasses. I laughed unreasonably hard
12:37 I love how what Tinella Nosella just spoiled the entire ending so casually
I actually had a middle school student recommend this show to me. They pestered me until I watched it and I'm glad I did. Not only did I enjoy it myself but it gave me another avenue to talk and connect with my student on their terms
as someone who has written lore revolving around the baby sensory videos with dancing food, i felt attacked by him saying the food fanfic girl needing to be behind bars
that sounds actually really interestting, i wanna know
about the lore in sensory videos
@@aaqshsh2617 Same here i wanna know how deep it goes, and what they managed to piece together by looking at really small details
This show wasn't created by Alex Hirsch btw, it was created by Dana Terrace. Alex Hirsch was involved in the production as far as I know and he does voice act in the show but please lets give credit where credit is due
Yes. It was created by Dana Terrace. During that time her and Alex Hirsch used to be together, but have now broken up. BUT in Gravity Falls, years before Owl House, there is a shot when Dipper is flipping pages and you see the black silhouette of Eda in the book.
SPOILER (Maybe)
Fan theory that Eda and Grunkle Stan used to date. Both of them talking about a certain ex.
"doesnt give me much on where the show is gonna go"
the first season is notorious for this, it gets real REAL fast later. so glad you watched this~!!! please finish the series~!
All I can say is if you have a decent time with the first few episodes, it just gets substantially better. Episode 15 is when Dana Terrace said the show really became her own, and that's when the quality starts rocketing.
look forward to meeting Hunter! He may be traumatized but uh you'll see soon enough (He first appears in season 2, but pretty much becomes a major character by season 3)
Name is spoiler
He actually has a cameo in Agony of a Witch(season 1). You can see him standing next to Belos.
edit his name rn please 😊😊😊
It was Dana Terrace who created the show.
And it wasn’t cancelled for being too gay- it just didn’t ( at the time) fit the Disney brand since it covered darker themes per se. Though, I’m pretty sure a new executive who came onto the Disney scene ( not the one who greenlit the show) was in fact not a fan of the gay direction. So he continued with the motion to shorten the third season.
Sooooo..... what your saying is, the executive nerfed it, because it was too gay?
I guess I'm just really mad about the current direction Disney claims they are going, when they canceled Owl House and replace it with slop, and then expect us to lap it up.
9:58 Did danny just inadvertently parallel the exact plot progression of a certain not to be named character with a ten second bit? Yes, yes he did.
17:18 bOY you have no idea how that's gonna go
"This kid needs to be taken to a vet and put down." The principal had the same thought lol. Guess what her mom does for work.
Lol ik
You are going to collectively revive the owl house fandom
10:00 yeah Danny those spiders probably die within seconds of escaping the Griffin’s mouth spiders are the least dangerous thing in the boiling isles
IT HAS BEGUN
(said in the tone of shang tsung from 90s Mortal Kombat movie
*plays Mortal Kombat theme in the background*
Dana Terrace is actually the series creator, Alex Hirsch is the creative consultant and he voices King and Hooty
DANNY'S STARTING TOH??? LETS FUCKING GOOO!!!! Luz is one of my absolute favorite characters (as well as Hunter, who appears in S2). She is so relatable and such a fresh air for a protagonist. Not that others are bad, there's just not many protagonist that represents the demographic Luz represents, which is a shame because there are so many Luz's looking for a piece of themselves on media.
HUNTER ❤
