#TheOwlHouse #Ranking - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I think I can speak for the entire TOH fandom when I say I’m both incredibly excited and anxious to watch the first part of Season 3 tomorrow.
TRUEEEEE
I actually saw the first 6 minutes at NYCC, so my excitement & anxiety have been taken to the next level!
how’d you like it?
IT WAS GREAT
@@Now_Roxas Is there a way to watch it outside of America?
The fact that the worst episode would be considered perfectly acceptable for most cartoons honestly just speaks to how good the rest of the show is.
It's mainly just because of how low the bar is set for a decent episode in modern animation. There are way too many horrible shows nowadays.
Nah all of season was fairly bad besides the grom episode
@@RobloxBussiness I thought it was fine. Not exceptional or story driven like season 2, but the episodes that were plot relevant were good, and the ones that weren’t were still fun because the characters were really endearing. Except Lilith. I don’t like Lilith other than her name and design.
@@carelessdreamer personally my main problems were Lumity (incredibly rushed during season 1) and the character relationships in general were most,y rushed and left a lot too be disired almost many of the filler episodes were incredibly unoriginal and basic tropes
Fr
The body swap episode despite not being that well done plot wise has some of the best jokes in the entire show… there is a bunch of great ones but my personal favourite is:
“Are you the famous Eda the owl lady?”
“That depends, are you a fan of… magic? :D”
“No. But I am a fan of… THE LAW!l
YOO that’s my favorite joke from that episode too! It just works so well with the scout’s delivery.
In my opinion, the body swap episode was pretty important plot wise. It strengthened the bonds between characters, it caused Luz to be more aware of magic and take it more seriously. And the most important part, it was yet another crushing and humiliating defeat with Lilith which is what led to the season finale being as intense as it was.
One funny thing about reaching out that I never hear anyone mention is how when Luz sees how Amity dressed the abomaton she says "I think Eda has the same outfit" and like a minute later in the same scene Eda calls it "that ugly thing".

Thank you 😌
Thanks!
tysm
Of course King's Tide will be in the 1st place:000
Also thx ✨✨
Labyrinth runners is actually my favourite episode in the series. It's important for the plot, yet not too overwhelming and it makes a fantastic job at developing Gus, Hunter and Willow and stablishing a strong bond between them in a short amount of time and moving forward with the plot while still giving us a break from the last episodes which were quite heavy. Also, the message of it is what really makes the episode for me, it's amazing how well they manage portray anxiety and PTSD with Gus and Hunter and how it's less powerful when you have people you can trust (Hunter comforting Gus after everything he's gone through is such a powerful moment). Overall just really emotional, entertaining and an easy rewatch for me.
(Sorry if my English is not as good, it's not my native language ;w;)
Actually your english is great!
dude why say your english isn't good? i didn't even notice english isnt your first language
I KNOW. It and Hollow Mind are my favorites, although I may just enjoy the scenes of Hunter having a panic attack.
@@whoreburguer Thanks a lot! I'm really trying to be more confident in myself
@@mob7740 I'm a little insecure about it but I'm definitely working on that 💗
The Owl House really filled the void in my heart that both Adventure Time and Gravity Falls left when they both ended. I love pretty much everything about this show from the characters, the setting, the plot, the animation, the music. Literally everything.
The body swap episode for me felt like the worst because it was the least consequential. They said that they learned their lessons. But in future episodes, the characters didn’t actually seem to learn from their actions. This is the only episode in the show that I would confidently categorize as filler.
Kasrium did a great video of how they fixed that 3 act type structure episode in Knock Knock Knockin on Hooty’s Door. Having them side by side highlights the genius of KKKHD.
@@amandab3946Not to kill the vibe, but I just realized that "KKKHD" has to be one of the most unfortunate acronyms unintentionally conceived.
My top 10
10. Enchanting Grom Fright
9. Yesterday's Lie
8. Reaching Out
7. King's Tide
6. Echoes of the Past
5. Hollow Mind
4. Eclipse Lake
3. Eda's Requiem
2. Thanks to Them
1. Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door
I imagine Alex Hirsch not being able to keep a straight face while screaming 'LALALLALALALALLALALLALALALLALALALAL' for what I'm thinking was more than one take.
I'd say my favorites, based solely on personal rewatch value (and in no particular order), would be 'Understanding Willow', 'Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door', 'Eda's Requiem', 'Any Sport in a Storm', 'Reaching Out', 'Them’s the Breaks, Kid', 'Lost in Language', 'Hollow Mind' and 'Echoes of the Past'. Most of them were in your Top 20, so I can't complain (? Anyway, solid ranking and loved how polished you make your scripts, even if they're only meant for you to read.
Solid choices, and thank you! It actually means a lot hearing feedback on that kind of stuff :)
same but i’d switch out understanding willow with kings tide
@Aliza Rayne so cute
@Neri Neri knock knock knocking on Hooty’s door is my all time favorite
Honestly, Hollow Mind and Thanks to Them are massively butting heads competing for my favorite episode.
I agree 100% about Gus and Willow’s behavior in Really Small Problems. I hated that episode because of it tbh.
I now enjoy Really Small Problems a bit more than before(this is probably because of King’s Tide). BUT I wish that Willow and Gus was better in this episode. I can excuse Gus a little bit as he’s still young, so it makes sense he’s not mature enough yet. Though Willow on the other hand should’ve known better since she was 14 during that episode and should known that her and Gus is taking away time/activities Luz promise King they would do.
Hollow mind and Thanks to them, are awesome episodes, The two (and Hunting palismen) are My favorites, i love these so much (Sorry, my english is not The Best, is not my languaje, i speak spanish)
Same here
@@Rosa-he6xb I still can forgive Gus if he's the same age like King or below. Because that age are total innocent. But here he's 12 and act like a big brother taking what's his little brother to get. Being the only child in their family only make them look worse. People really saying Luz and Hunter gave sibling vibes like Amity and her sibs but Luz originally only child and she's better
39:19 this has got to be one of my favorite moments from the first half of season 2- I died laughing in the interactions between Luz and Hunter😂😂 especially when Luz SLAPS the ever living daylights outta Hunter just for him to wake up 😂
I'm very late to the party only binging the series a couple of months ago but It didn't take long for me to fall head over heels in love with the series, it now stands as my favorite cartoon of all time. The show as a whole but especially the character of Amity have become my comfort show and character. I'm sad that there's only three episodes left but I have faith that the team will deliver and the girl their series the spectacular send off it deserves.
Principal bump was shown to be strict until he had more fun with Luz Gus and Willow doing entertaining things and have shown he really care about the students well into the later episodes.
I think he’s a really kind hearted guy. Remember the post that theorised Eda’s “Permanent School Record” files had drastically diminished, almost in half. Head Canon that empathetic Bump went through her record after he got promoted to Principal, and took the nonsensical harmless acts of rebellion out.
The Escaping Expulsion episode was SO PURE, he cried over a photo album of memories from the trio.
And in the most recent episode, For The Future, you see him set up shelter for students in the school gym & hand out sleeping bags etc. 🥲
My top 5:
1. Hollow Mind
2. Thanks to Them
3. Agony of a Witch
4. Eclipse Lake
5. Enchanting Grom Fright
Him: tables isn’t the worst villain but he isn’t the best either
Me: *any episode with Tibbles is an episode to be forgotten*
There was one moment in Keeping up A-fear-ances (the episode where Mama Clawthorn was being scammed), when Eda found out what Luz and Mama Clawthorn were the one terrorizing her her she said "I have the right! to! be! upset!" as she was turned into the owlbeast. I'm really sad that was never talked about. By that point in the series, the owlbeast is triggered by emotions and I wondered how Eda dealt with the fact that feeling her emotions could result in something bad happening. Eda's line really spoke to me and it kinda sucked that it was brushed off.
Agreed that the amphibia Easter egg was poorly timed, it could have been somewhere in Thanks to them or something but I like how they are officially in the same universe
My top fifteen
15) King's Tide
14) Escaping Expulsion
13) Looking Glass Ruins
12) Keeping up Afearances
11) Hollow Mind
10) Knockin on Hooty's Door
9) Eda's Requiem
8) Understanding Willow
7) Eclipse Lake
6) Yesterday's Lie
5) Reaching Out
4) Covention
3) Hunting Palisman
2) Enchanting Grom Fright
1) Lost in Langage
Sidenote: I was really surprised to see LiL so low. I know it being the best episode is an unpopular opinion but in the bottom half of season one? For me, it has the wittiest and dialog, my favorite magic concept of the week and some of the show's best moments. I think that Luz and Amity work off of each other the best in the episode of all their episodes together (except maybe Understanding Willow). I'll also acknowledge that I'm extremely biased because Amity is far and away my favorite character and I love every second the Blight twins are on screen but even that aside I still think the episode deserves a lot more credit than you give it here.
I'm always down to hear someone else's unique ranking. I should have made clear that I still love Lost in Language, it just didn't hit me as much this time around. This list is simply my attempt to rank a show for which I like every episode to some degree.
I thought it was so cool how in the episode Hollow Mind, they told a story while there was a story already going on. I'm talking about how they gave us Philips backstory through the pictures in the background during the episode. That's really great storytelling 👍.
They really managed to make that the darkest episode of the show so far. Season 3 is already on that path.
Even though Hunters panick attack in that episode and also in Labrynth Runners are sad and painful to watch, it's also important to see something like that being represented in shows and movies because some people go through that in real life and also suffer from anxiety. His panic attack also shows how deeply hurt and traumatized this poor boy is 😔, sadly Belos will kill him if he goes back to the castle.
The way they write characters with PTSD in this show is really well done.
I have but one prediction for season 3 and that is that King will be the one to stop the Collector. In 'Oh Titan Where Art Thou' King expressed that he no longer wanted people to see him as a big scary monster anymore and I think that is how the Collector feels as well but just hasn't realized it yet. Because of their power the Collector never understood the weight of their actions and the consequences of them. After such a long time in isolation just to come out and see everyone is afraid and trying to take them down might be a breaking point. That's when King will realize they also don't want to be feared and will hopefully get through to them.
Say What you will about “Really Small Problems” but it’s got one of the best lines in the show: THOSE ARE MY DUMB KIDS.
So excited for season 3! Gonna go watch the first episode after this video.
The fact that most of the episodes on the lower end of the list are there not because they're bad in general, but because they're just worse than the rest really speaks to how insanely good this show is
Not bad but not interesting and below expectations of TOH can give. If the show itself a solid 9/10 those episodes are below 7.
@@jstnshi-eenmkbar yeah that's what I'm saying, the fact that the worse episodes are still watchable and somewhat enjoyable really speak for how good this is
Yeah I would have put Real Small Problems at the bottom and then once upon a swap after that. My main reason being I hate how Willow and Gus test King in the episode and how KING had to apologize, not them, when all he was wanting was to hang out with Luz. Woth Once Upon a Swap...I'm just not big into those type of episodes no real other reason
I don't blame you for hating those two episodes.
"Eda's Requiem" brings many new and very interesting characters into the show, which basically already earns itself a spot here. Like Raine, every member of BATS and Darius alone make it worth it, but other than that it provides a backstory on how Eda got to where she is now. The ending of the episode also furthers both King's plot as well as the plot of the entire show.
"Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door" is an episode I'm a little conflicted with. On one hand it tries to cram 3 individual stories into a single episode, bringing serious implications for Eda, King, and Luz. On the other hand I think that all of the plots honestly work pretty well. King's plot is what tips the audience to the fact that King is not a normal monster, Eda's plot is finally an exploration of just what her curse actually is without just weird repeated events, and I can appreciate the Luz and Amity plot because it didn't allow The Owl House to fall into the trap so many shows fall into. What I am referring to is when shows constantly tease a relationship between characters without delivering. Luz and Amity here are directly put into a relationship without any more beating around the bush, their chemistry has already been established in season 1 so they are able to just proceed.
"Eclipse Lake" very good episode that provides both some individuality for Amity as well as establishes a dynamic between Hunter and Eda, King, and Amity. Plus the whole revelation surrounding titans blood in the portal key is massive when it comes to the rest of the series.
"Yesterday's Lies." This is a super good episode. It finally provides context to who the other Luz is, introduces V and finally gives us more dialogue from Luz's mom. The ending of the episode is also really compelling with an amazing performance from the voice actors.
"Elsewhere and Elsewhen" is a very interesting episode to say the least. It is the first appearance of the collector, provides to the audience direct insight that Phillip and Belos are one in the same, and creates a dynamic between Luz and Lillith.
"Any Sport in a Storm." Honestly I wasn't a very big fan of the season 1 grudgby episode, but what this episode brings to the table honestly fixes my problems with that episode. Firstly introducing Hunter to Gus and Willow without Luz or Amity there is a very good move from a writer's standpoint because they get to establish their own individual relationship with him. We also get to see more Viney and Skara both of whom I like a side characters; and overall I just like that Willow and Gus get their time to shine here without Luz so that they are able to develop as individuals. Plus the interactions between Darius and Hunter throughout the episode are absolutely excellent and perfectly show Hunter's situation as well as call into question Darius's allegiance.
"Reaching Out" serves mostly as a window into characterizing Amity's relationship with her father and shedding some light on her siblings as well. I just think it works really well to accomplish those goals, and the relationship parts between Luz and Amity feel really genuine here.
"Them's the Breaks, Kid." I like seeing Eda and Raine interact.
"Hollow Mind" is a contender for my favorite episode in the season. Obviously the impact doesn't hit when not watching the episode, but it cements Belos/Phillip as a psychopath, reveals exactly what his plan is, and provides an outlet for Hunter's entire world to be shattered. The voice acting from Bellos, Luz, and Hunter Especially sell the episode. There is not much individually to say, but it is an experience.
"Edge of the World." Alex Hirsch does a really great job this episode with King. It really hits you with how desperately he wants to have a family, a real family of his own people. Then the revelation hits and boom King knows he's a titan, and both the audience and the character are left to ponder the implications of that.
"Labrynth Runners" is honestly such an interesting episode. It isn't exceptionally important, it isn't the most high stakes, but still somehow it is one of my absolute favorites of the season. Gus and Hunter finally get to have some genuine interactions and they have some great "best friend" energy. We get to see how Gus and Willow met, we see Willow and Gus really trusting Hunter as the episode progresses. There is also the plot between Willow and Amity, and while yeah it is kinda cliche, I still think it fits the characters and works well. This is also the episode that illusion is expanded upon as magic which as you will have read I love.
"O Titan, Where Art Thou" is just a really solid episode that kinda serves as the calm before the storm. Every character gets some kind of mini revelation, especially King. Plus we get more of CATS and that include Darius. Oh and Luz carves her egg palismen. Nothing more to say really
"Clouds on the Horizon" is a great penultimate episode to season 2. It starts with some fanservice with the hyper animated kiss and then works its way through the motions of Luz and the others finding a way to get Belos. I really like the insight Alador is given here as well. Meanwhile Eda and the rest of the crew are working on their own plan, and the whole branding Eda point carried a lot of impact. Finally ending with Luz having been taken directly to Belos By Kiki Mora is a great Cliffhanger
"Kings Tide." This is an amazing conclusion to the season and explaining it barely does it justice. It is incredibly tense in atmosphere throughout both plots and keeps up this feeling through most of the episode. I could explain it, but that is an injustice. Go rewatch the episode now.
I am not going to explain the season 3 episodes but they would both make it. My fingers are weary, and like 3 hours have passed. Sorry for the dissertation in the comments of a video ranking Owl House Episodes but this show will not leave my brain and I wanted to get all of it off my chest and into the comment section of a youtube video where no one will care to read it but at least it is there.
Oh and also I had to separate this into parts purely because I made this too long. I am not very smart with my time am I. Sorry lol
My top 3 would be Yesterday's Lie, The Intruder and Labyrint Runners in that order.
I just LOVE Vee so much being my absolute favourite character by a mile.
The intruder is probably the most suspenseful episode in the whole show and is the episode that completely sold me on the owl house.
Labyrinth Runners actually got me to kinda like Hunter. He was always bland to me, to the point that my reaction to his "death" in Hollow Mind was a shrug but I guess he just needed his little brother Gus to be interesting and likeable.
“Intruder” definitely sold me on the show too. Like “I was a Teenage Abomination” got me interesting more, but it was really “Intruder” that reeled me in.
My ranking for all of TOH is 1,000,000/10 best show ever!
0:56 I just realized they broke the 4th wall there, Hooty marked 7. Cartoon ‘yes’
This is a fun video and great list! I’ll always see Reaching Out as the very peak with astonishingly good writing, even if it doesn’t have the stakes of the ones you have just above it. Incredible interwoven and layered episode.

My favorite episode is Understanding Willow (‘cuz she’s my fave), followed by Any Sport In A Storm, Eda’s Requiem, Thems The Breaks Kid, and Knock Knock Knocking On Hoody’s Door
Through The Looking Glass Ruins in 26th really hurt. That's THE best Lumity episode for me, and Gus's story was really nice as well. I know you didn't say anything negative about it, but I couldn't possibly find 25 episodes that are better.
This video is so well put together! Even though I don't personally agree with a lot of the ranking, you made very good points and did a great job explaining why you ranked each episode the way you did. Even got me hyped to see what the top best episodes would be. And it's just so cool to see a fan express how much they love the show, even with the episodes that most fans dislike. This deserves more views and attention.
I just realized that Principal Bump has canonically shooed a Titan away with a broom 😂
lol i completely forgot about that
I bet we all collectively shit our pants as soon as hollow mind, kings tide, and thanks to them happened
Came back to this video after watching the series finale. What a great way to look back and reflect on this awesome show. Hoping you make an updated list, even if it’s only three more episodes. #ThankYouOwlHouse
I personally heavily disagree with I Was A Teenage Abomination being the episode where the show clicks into place (I would say that episode is either The Intruder or Covention). It's a fun episode but pretty much all characters feel stereotypical, Hexside is a really generic school setting for a show about magic, teachers being unable to realize that Luz is not an abomination was kinda annoying and the plotline of the shy character who gets bullied actually being super smart or strong has been done a lot of times before. It's not a "bad" episode but I personally think it's one of the weakest of the show
Yeah I feel like that too a bit. Willow and Gus was good for me during the episode when I first watch it and so was Amity. But it bothers me now when seeing why Amity was mean to Willow and her development afterwards. As it made no sense for Amity to bully Willow when Boscha and her gang was no where to be seen and she claimed she never wanted to bully Willow in the first place. So why did she pick on her out where no others would see them? It’s still a good episode and introduction to Willow, Gus, and Amity….but it definitely didn’t age well with the new information we learn later in S1.
I don't think it's among the weakest (although definitely in the back half) but I agree that it's more of a fun episode and the next two are more when the show clicks. And yes the teachers not realizing Luz was not an abomination did seem a little dumb.
All episodes are S+ for me except episode 2
Fun fact through the looking glass ruins was "censored" in Poland while the show was aired before late night hours and we havent seen first lumity kiss on tv untill like 2022
- Ranks Knock Knock Knockin on Hooty’s Door 9th -
*The fandom was declared war*
Favorite episodes from season 1: Agony of a witch, Enchanting Grom fight, Young blood old souls, understanding willow, the first day, the intruder, I was a teenage abomination
Season 2: king's tide, Labrynth runners, any sport in a storm, escaping expulsion, keeping up a-fearances, through the looking glass ruins, Eda's requiem, hunting palisman,Pakistan, knock, knock, knocking on Hootie's door, yesterday's lie, follies at the coven day parade, hollow mind, them's the breaks kid, o titan, wherefore art thou, elsewhere and elsewhen, clouds on the horizon
35:19
best hooty line ever
and I agree with a lot of this list
I find it hilarious that even at the lowest ranks, he’s still finding it difficult to not compliment basically everything about it
Thanks for the owl house "recap" for the first special.
Time to sleep and wake up with a new episode.
This has to be one of my favorite owl house episode reviews! Only a little bit of bias but not too much, lots of really good points, and doesn’t rate episodes higher because HOOTY IS IN IT! My personal pet peeves about ytubers aside, I think you’re awesome Mr. Nat

5- Yesterday's Lie
4- Reaching Out
3- Eda's Requiem

Really good take. Only change I would make is switching the top 2.
@@conorgillingham2564 that's on you I guess but for me? Oh I will always put Hooty's Door on the Top because that episode has EVERYTHING it's such a masterpiece for me , everything was perfectly balance and which results for that episode to become the Best one in the show so far (for me)
When hopping into this video I was really surprised by the fact that once upon a swap was not in last place
The Owl House ( said it like eda always says it ) is definitely the best Disney show I wish it didn't and but I'm happy knowing that Luz and everyone else are living happy lives especially when they allsaid BYEEEEE
My top 5 are
5. Labyrinth Runners
4. Reaching Out
3. Hollow mind
2. Thanks To Them
1. Any Sport In A Storm
My fav episode is when Steve isn’t in his uniform for the first time
weird, witches before wizards is one of my favorites. it sets up luz and her arc very well and its a great dose of reality
Did we all just agree eclipse lake, knock knock on hootys door, and kings tide are in our top 10
Ooh, YOU made this before season 3 episode 1 came out, I was gonna say "AY YA FORGOT SEASON 3 EPISODE 1!"
My top 3 are:
Hollow mind, thanks to them, and Hunting palismen❤
Who else agrees that everyone was freaking out when luz leaned in when looking at hunter!?
👇
Agony of a Witch, Eda's Requiem and Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's door. If my pfp didn't give it away, I'm an Eda stan.
40:30 I FELT SO BAD HERE😂 The bad but said boi had zero idea on how to interact with kids his own age and I felt that
Here's the thing: The Owl House and its episodes are, for the most part, pretty uncontroversial within its fandom. I'm sure you'll raise some eyebrows with stuff like how low Lost In Language is placed, or that O Titan Where Art Though finds itself all the way up at rank 4. But overall, the fandom overwhelmingly agrees on what the better and worse parts are. It's not like Amphibia where major aspects of the show have the fans militantly polarized.
There's only one real exception to that, only a single episode that I've seen dramatic love-hate splits on: Them's the Breaks Kid. Personally, I think it's easily the worst episode in the show and pretty much a case study on how not to do backstory episodes (for examples of how to do them, check The Last Airbender's 'The Storm' or She-Ra's 'Lightspinner'), and I've heard people view it with even more vitriol than that, while for others its among their favorites.
(Warning, potential Season 3 Ep 1 spoilers)
What keeps me from hating Them's The Breaks Kids is more as a parallel so Season 3 Episode 1, and by extension, both scenes of Luz's moms dealing with school in Season 1. Where Eda excelled but was also a troublemaker, Camila struggled socially and potentially academically.
Neither agreed to conformity- Camila to sending Luz to the Box camp, Eda to the Coven System. Yet after dealing with the conformity, they escape to support themselves and later their family.
I guess Thanks To Them is a better-woven Them's The Breaks.
If we're talking unpopular opinions, Once Upon a Swap got me properly into the show, and the idea of possession of another's body does change from a harmless episode to a dramatic point in the latest episode. About how it can be exploited.
Really? Huh I guess I haven’t been around many parts of the fandom to hear about this. I never knew some fans had a love/hate relationship with this episode.
18:02 I never noticed that wanted poster for a friend, that's adorable.
1. Thanks to them
2. Hollow mind
3. Yesterday’s lie
4. Any sport in a storm
5. Clouds on the horizon
6. Eclipse lake
7. Labyrinth runners
8. Hunting palace men
9. Understanding willow
10. Agony of a witch
6:01 well it kinda connect, like this moment
I absolutely LOOOOVEEEEE reaching out!!! If i could only ever watch one toh episode that’s the one I would pick. #1
I was actually able to save the reveal of Philip being Belos for hollow minds due to my overwhelming stupidity
"I AM YOUR GOD" -Hooty in a Belos costume
Funny that the Bat Queens backstory never got answered😅
To me owl house and gravity falls are almost like perfect molds with 2 different substances. Both have similar and almost uncanny similarities but both shows accomplish things other shows have never done and blew standards of how we see animation out of the water. (Although owl house sometimes had gravity falls type humor and it took me until kings tide to not hear bill cipher when king said literally anything.)
45:30 HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS WAS A THROWBACK LINE!?
Though I respect your opinions, labyrinth runners is in my top 3 episodes and I was so upset to see it so low. Though I respect your opinions its one of the episodes I relate to the most. And thems the breaks kid. Though that’s bc I have a raine and Eda bias XD totally respect your opinions tho! Love hearing different perspectives
My favs are wing it like witches, enchanting from fights, any sport in a storm, eclipse lake, and through the glass ruins.
in a few hours the final episode of toh airs!! I literaly cant wait! also hollow mind is my fav episode
I’m honestly not that big of a fan of the first season of the owl house. I don’t think it’s bad just mediocre but the second season really won me over. I can’t wait to see what the endgame of the show has in store
Same for me with both Owl House and Amphibia. Both shows had a difficult first season to go through but picked up at the end. When season 2 came around I think I was won over (again in both shows) within a few episodes.
Iirc it's a really common thing with a lot of shows. It takes a bit of time before all the characters are established and I think a lot of shows also play it quite safe in the first few episodes.
@@Tintelinus You make a good point. First seasons often do play it more safe. I've recently watched season 3 of Amphibia and season 2 of the Owl House and I'm more positive about their first seasons. It's not perfect, but it made me realize those episodes helped a lot in getting attached to the characters.
@@JH24821 I actually think amphibia has a way better first season then the owl house
@@theghostwiththemost789 I agree with that as well, although I still found it difficult at parts to get through. I tried to watch in a batch but that didn't work. When I started to watch an episode a day it became easier and before I knew it I realized I wanted to watch more episodes a day. That didn't really happen with the Owl House until after Grom Night.
1:01:19 - At this point, it’s pretty obvious which one made the top spot, but this is my first time watching this video, so I’ll just have to wait and see…
Edit at 1:03:00 - CALLED IT! I knew it was gonna be King’s Tide all along! But (and this is a BIG but), this episode shouldn’t be your favorite anymore. We’ve got Thanks to Them now. And it’s WAY BETTER! I know this video was made a couple of weeks ago, but still, once Season 3 ends, you should expand this video to the entire 43 episodes and re-rank them. I’d love to see you rank the entire Owl House from beginning to end; not just the first two seasons.
7:46 I also love this episode, it’s amazing
It is a snake shifter named stringbeem
Eclipse lake is my personal favorite of the first 2 seasons (S3E1 was amazing though)
at the start i made it my goal to guess the episode that was coming up based on the audio clip you played before it. and i got all 40. i almost missed the one for adventures in the elements and said understanding willow.
Nice!
I completely agree with last place
Like I get the ongoing theme of Luz not being the chosen one starts here and I can appreciate that, but I just do not enjoy watching that episode
Ok entirely unrelated to the list but lowkey got that kronk voice
Why does it sound like every other sentence in this video ends with a question mark?
I relate to the list really hard, except my bottom would be once upon a swap, otherwise, the ranking is spot on for me lol
was it really surprising that kings tide was number 1?
no not really
Me just watching this while drawing flapjack
Time to re-do all this in a bit considering s3 ep 3 (show finale) comes out in April lmao
King's tide is a mixture of emotions It is my number 1 too
Understanding willow is my favorite episode
My top three is probably reaching out, lost in language, and clouds on the horizon
4. Magic Part 2, aka Fights in this show
Now the Owl house has 2 states to its animation. There is its standard state where animation is fluid but still somewhat rigid, looking good enough to bring out expressive characters without breaking the bank. Then there is hyper animation where it honestly feels like the amount of frames is doubled overall, however, this does not happen frequently. There are four moments in particular that stick out as having hyper animation in the 3 seasons so far. There is the Grom fight in "Enchanting Grom Fright," the Eda and Lillith battle in "Agony of a Witch," The dialogue and kiss between Luz and Amity in "Clouds on the Horizon" and there is the fight with Belos possessed Hunter in "Thanks to Them." Now I may be missing one or two, but these are what I remember. Out of these 4 the Grom fight is easily my favorite, the animation is creative and snappy and the fight itself is done in a very creative dance style. It serves as a resolution to the buildup of both the characters and as a visual spectacle that I could watch repeatedly. I have practically no complaints about this scene, but it works as an excellent comparison to the scene I really want to talk about, the Eda vs. Lillith battle. The first time I watched this scene, it was an exceptional visual masterpiece that conveyed the conflict in an energetic and powerful manner. Rewatching it again though I got the feelin it was a missed opportunity in some ways. It is no doubt the best animated portion of the entire show; the use of the magic system feels lacking though. Both Eda and Lillith have been built up as having access to all types of magic and being exceptionally strong at everything they can do and yet, they only really make use of spells that simply fire lasers or teleportation magic with Lillith using some sort of shield spell. This fight could have been the perfect opportunity for both characters to make use of their favorite styles of magic (styles that I may add are somewhat opposite as we know from season 2 that Eda much prefers magics like illusion or bard to Lillith's most used techniques) to have a fight showcasing every single part of this extremely creative and in depth magic system. It is still an excellent scene and a highlight of the entire show, being narratively and visually stunning, but this was essentially the final opportunity to show a witch make use of all types of magic in a fight and yet the spellmanship is exceptionally generic in nature. Honestly their fight in Covention despite it's lacking hyper animation is a more creative battle between these two characters as it provides a more unique arena that gives way to a variety of spells.
Nat we are the same person we one day tried out a random Disney show and decided "hey this is the good stuff this is my favorite"
Also Edric is underrated
And my personal fav episode is knock knock knockin' on hooty's door

Numbers are obv the order of the episodes in the show.
2. Pacing between seasons
Okay, this was my biggest criticism of the first season when initially watching the show. Most of the first season suffers from a pacing issue of sorts (in my opinion). Especially on the first handful of episodes the plots feel like they wanted to tell a slightly larger story than they had time for. This results in the climax and resolution of the episodes feeling rushed and somewhat tacked on. This is noticeable for me especially in "A Lying Witch and a Warden," "I was a Teenage Abomination," "Once Upon a Swap," and "The First Day," though this doesn't mean these were the only episodes I felt had this issue. It does smooth out as the series goes on but it really stuck out to me, so I wanted to mention it.
Season 2's pace is honestly pretty good, maybe a minor hiccup here or there, but nothing awful.
Season 3's pace is what worries me. Because Disney sucks, the show is left with only 3 44 minute episodes for a season 3 that wraps up the characters and conflicts. Now they did know ahead of time that they would have to deal with this, but that still left them with way too many ideas for where the characters should end up than they could realistically resolve. The two episodes released for season 3 have handled this pace well enough, as even though they felt fast paced, it was still coherent and logically made sense without feeling like characters were trying to escape conversations so that there would be time to fit in something else. What I am worried about is the final episode, because whatever they could not fit within the first two is likely going to be jammed into the third in an attempt to wrap up most loose ends. I just really hope the ending feels satisfying, relatively speaking, though I despise Disney for forcing an excellent show to conform to a tight deadline esque schedule.
All of season two is great because we get Hunter
