Hey, I don't know if this is your thing, but here's a video idea for you: Amphibia Alternate History - what if the human girls never got to Amphibia? Also, same concept with the Owl House would work imo
YO I'M HALF THAI AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT THE REP IS *IMMACULATE*. Bro you don't even know how fucking stoked I was to see a THAI MAIN CHARACTER IN A SHOW THAT DIDN'T DEPICT THAI CULTURE AS BAR GIRLS AND TOURISM. I relate to Anne so much with her loud, energetic personality and how proud she is to be Thai, and how stubborn she is, AND THE PART ABOUT HER MOM SINGING GOOFY THAI LOVE SONGS, *MY MOM DOES THAT*. Of course I still relate to Marcy in with the interest in things like D&D and she's so ADHD coded too, but with Anne it's just so amazing to see my culture shown so accurately and often. I will proudly admit I was audibly squealing when I saw her in traditional Thai clothes that have names that i don't know how to spell in a language other than Thai. This is the first time I've really seen a character who I can relate to almost fully, flaws and all, it's not often I see characters that look like me either. Matt Braly definitely made me feel seen with this show, and I'm so excited to see where Amphibia goes from here.
@@yikes404 (kind off? got diagnosed later than my brother because of it but because my mom also has adhd it was still early enough, I know it happens though so I'm sorry if it happened to you)
Vietnamese here. My mom would also sing dumb love songs on repeat. Especially in the car. It’s funny how Southeast Asian culture can blend with each other while still being unique. Thai food is much better than Vietnamese, though.
Can we take a second to talk about how visually please the pallet of the entire show is though? Amphibia's more earthy tones was one of the things that drew me more towards it rather than the owl house, as every color just feels like it belongs in the same universe- which is probably due to more an emphasis on pastels and dulls, giving a more natural feel compared to the owl house who has brighter- more eye catching colors due to the whole magic/witchy tone of the location.
I say this under every video but: marcy's expressions MAKE true colors! The way she goes from precious goodness to absolute horror to anger to sadness to her crazed bargaining rant before finally breaking down is simply incredible
Was it because Andrias betrayed Marcy? Or that Marcy was the reason Anne and Sasha became stranded? Or that Sprig almost died? Or that Marcy DID die? Feel free to stop me at any time.
@@shellyvision9693 Yeah! So great that she had to be nerfed! Via DEATH!! Aha...That sounded a lot funnier in my head. Though, I was serious about the "Great" part.
I really enjoyed how Sasha is portrayed since I have a friend who's just like her, the kind of guy who is incredibly controlling and bossy towards me, while at the same time doing genuinely nice things for me that make it difficult for me to call out his more egregious behavior. I related to Anne's struggle of how to do deal with Sasha a lot.
I had a friend just like that in primary school who is actually Thai so I thought it was funny because I also have blonde hair so it’s like roles reversed.
I'm super glad this is a video focusing more on why a show is fun and enjoyable rather than nitpicking or only focusing on the negatives. It's great to have some more positivity with videos like this.
I'm not gonna ignore any criticisms I might have about a given thing, but I'm more interested in talking about things I like than things I hate, personally.
? what's wrong with criticism sorry but the only reason this video is so positive is because imo this show is almost perfect. Maybe u just prefer positivity in which case don't mind me lol
@@nascour5991 there's nothing wrong with criticism, it's just really common to see someone go into a show and being really overly critical and end up missing everything that makes it fun. Seeing someone make a video about how much they enjoy something is a nice breath of fresh air for me
I thought of that gag literally the day I recorded the bit about Sprig and Ivy. My wife is pretty much down for anything I ask her to do in these videos
I understand how people can get ticked off with what some people find as “forced diversity” in certain pieces of media, but it’s weird that people actually had problems with The Owl House and Amphibia where representation is done so well and so naturally that you don’t find yourself really paying attention to it as much.
If Season 1 focuses on Anne and Sashas relationship, and Season 2 focuses on Marcy and Annes relationship than I hope Season 3 focuses on Sasha and Marcies relationship.
I'm so glad that more people are watching Amphibia. I love the close-up expressions of the characters in this show. Also, the characterization through dialogue for example, Hop Pop mention he was a theater major in the first season. Then, in season 2, he got his own episode showing off his theater skills. I just love the small details and moments that make characters who they are. I'm so excited for season 3 coming out this October!
For me, Owl House is a show I immediately got into, love the alt fantasy aesthetics, whereas Amphibia was for of a slow build but god, I'm glad I stuck with it. Both are amazing in their own way and both deserve much more respect then they get from the network. Looking forward to Amphibia S3 and Owl House S2 & 3
Well that's understandable since amphibia paces itself lets you get attached to the characters and get to know them that way the emotional moments hit close to heart I like the owl house but it rushes its story and paces its self way too fast but again they're 2 different shows.
@Lex Bright Raven the pacing of the owl house is wayyyy to fast before you can even process what is going on something else happens and that's not good story telling it feels rushed all the time and most of the emotional moments happen with no build up it feels forced I like the owl house but those flaws really have an appearance In season 1 season 2 is better but not by much I'm just a fan of getting to know the characters willow and gus are victims of this.
@@ghostchild3479 Was so hard for me to _feel_ Eda's sacrifice in the S1 finale, the show rarely paired Luz and Eda in adventures directly, specially after Luz joined Hexside. Yet somehow Amphibia made me _feel_ for Sasha's sacrifice in the S1 finale, even if Sasha rarely was on screen up to that point beside some key episodes. Then i noticed, it wasn't 'cause Sasha, but 'cause Anne. We saw Anne growing up the entire season, up to understanding her friendship with Sasha thanks to her friendship with Sprig. Damn i can't get over how well written Amphibia is.
Amphibia is tragically underrated, I binged it all in early 2020 during quarantine, and to this day, it's my favourite piece of media ngl If you havent watched it yet, I highly recommend it
That’s when I watched season 1 and then I waited so long for season 2. I checked Disney plus every day waiting for it. Then I forgot about checking after about a year and now I’m finally watching season 2.
Love this video, I really understand what your saying, I love Amphibia because in season one you know there’s mystery, and you’re so excited to get to that mystery that you just wanna skip past all of the episodes, but you still want to watch them at the same time because although it’s taking a while all these hilarious episodes keep us entertained, I love how Amphibia can mix in so much humor mystery and melancholy into one series.
I feel like people overlook the mystery element of amphibia but that’s my favourite part of the show and why I started watching it. It has similar vibes to gravity falls but it has its own original plot and characters and is still a very unique show.
57:23 Thats because Its some sort of Fire sword. The sword is so hot that there wasnt actually any Chance blood could have come Out. Thats probably also why He was able to keep Marcy Alive without human nurse/doctor knowlege
Amphibia writers: okay, so Disney let us stab her. But there’s to be NO BLOOD. How do we let a character get stabbed but not let them bleed?Two words: *fire sword*
I love this type of positive videos: both praising a show and giving solid arguments instead of relying on blind praise. Regarding Hop Pop's voice, I initially thought it was done by Dan Castanella, since I can't help but hear Grandpa Phil from Hey Arnold. It surprised when I learned he was voiced by Goofy's voice actor. While I haven't watched the Owl House video, I really enjoyed this one and I am interested in seeing even more videos in this vein.
I adore this show, I adore video essays and long form reviews, it's like... this video was made for me But in all seriousness great video and analysis, can't imagine how long this took to edit lol
I'm watching this after Amphibia ended and you really summed up the reason how much this means to me, this show can be insanely funny and quirky but there's so much more about this show that quirky silly frog cartoon. I really can't recommend it enough to everyone
- HEy, 🅱️EccA!!!!!! - What!!! - I lOVe you!!!!! - I love you too!! - Good!! - GoÖd!!!!! Honestly, every video like this is a delight. Thank you for posting. You are very underrated. :-)
I never rlly cared about sasha until now so I never really thought about what the end of Reunion meant for her character. Heartbreaking! Heartstomping even.
I've been watching both The Owl House and Amphibia for a while. Even though I am following the Owl House more I have to say Amphibia is just my favorite of the 2. I just love the characters and how the Story is progressing seamlessly
wow this was AWESOME, i cant imagine how much work you put into this, and yes i watched this whole thing beginning to end tho i was drawing a bit after you talked about the true colors segment, i totally agree with all your point and i cant wait what will happen in season 3 of Amphibia, especially introducing the frog family to Annes parents lol
I started and finished Amphibia last week and I hate that I slept on this gem for so long, but it was totally worth it, can't wait for season 3. I also watched your Owl House video and glad I found this one as well
I noticed that you uploaded this video a few weeks ago when I was a few episodes into Amphibia. I really enjoyed your Owl House video and watched Amphibia more diligently so that I could watch this video. And it is a really good video! I love your character analysis and after finishing True Colors (may I say WTF?!) yesterday, I needed to hear someone else talk about it.
About 1:11:38 - The Ghost and Molly McGee is another Disney show with a Thai main character, and I'm pretty sure it's coming out at the same time as Amphibia season 3.
this: appears in my recommended Me: huh, haven't seen that video ?? ill watch it wait it's like an hour, maybe ill watch the first like 15 mins Me, nearly at the end of the video: THIS CREATOR IS SO GOOD THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD I MUST SUBSCRIBE- WAIT HOW THEY ONLY HAVE 4.81K SUBS ???????? HOW????????????
About the show's formula compared to SU: Personally, I think a lot of the filer episodes work much better for Amphibia compared to Steven Universe. I think part of that has to do with the fact Amphibia is not like our world, so time spent not on the plot is still fun because we can explore more of Amphibia, it's culture, and creatures. In SU, anything that was not about the Gems was very similar to our own world. So it's a little harder to establish intrigue with basic human characters compared to Amphibia's outlandish depiction. Not that the human characters in SU were boring, but to me personally most of them were either mediocre, annoying, or merely charming. Granted I found the characters in Amphibia more enjoyable and easy to watch haha, the Gems were very grating to me at times.
*1:17:03* The Chickalisk scene really deserved a shoutout in the Humor section, and I'm glad it got the credit it deserved, as it undoubtedly is comedy platinum. Man, that scene was on another level of bonkers!
After watching Amphibia from the very start up to that point, i was always prepared for any wacky stuff... and yet that scene destroyed me, took me so off guard i had to pause the video and watch it again just to make sure i was watching it correctly and not making shit up. Amazing show.
The difference between an episode with not much in it and filler is the ending. A filler episode ends with nothing changing at all, they went to a place to do something but that thing didn't matter so oh well. Notorious filler is in naruto, the various "methods of finding sasuke" episodes are all complete busts, they start with them trying to find a way to track sasuke, and end with that method failing for some reason. Rinse and repeat about 10 times.
EXACTLY! This is why I love Amphibia and I would say even puts it in the same league as Adventure Time. The majority of Adventure Time episodes are "filler" but you don't even realize that fact because almost every story no matter how seemingly inconsequential actually develops characters and adds to the overall complexity/multifacetedness of that world even if the plot itself isn't driven forward. It's the same in Amphibia. If a show is a sandwich the plot is the bread and butter but the meat and the veg and the delicious sauces are the characters and the world building.
@@LeoBladini not for amphibia every episode is always remembered and reminded us that the characters changed even more so that the characters sometimes look back on those events they even had a whole episode about it lmao.
The adventures in Amphibia didn't really feel insignificant or forgotten either it had its purpose of development of the characters and their relationships with the side characters or maybe become important plot points or to be looked backed in future episodes, and how our Anne went from ' Anne the beast' to 'Anne of the year' all throught one season making it believable
from tv tropes: 'There is a common belief that the original quote was actually "The blood of the covenant [or battlefield] is thicker than the water of the womb," which would have been an inversion, however, this is actually an Urban Legend and the earliest known versions of the quote (dating back to 12th century Germany) are played straight." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amphibia is the greatest. I knew I would be a great show from the first episode. From its music, well written story to its importance of friendship and found family it just has it all.
The one thing that puts Amphibia above the owl house for me, is that Luz never learns. Her whole problem is that she keeps blindly jumping into things and she is never punished for it. She always finds away to magically fix things. While Anne learns something new about life and her character develops regularly. I dunno tho Luz might change in season 2b. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk
Fr in the Owl House mid-season 2 finale when Luz is like “yes mom I have matured” I had to pause because . . . when did that happen?? Did I miss something? Luz still acts exactly as she did in the first episode lol, in fact she’s probably gotten worse 😂
@@livvworm Um? That's... just false. You can have your own opinions ofc but don't act like she hasn't developed as a character just because you don't like the show. I agree that Anne learns more but Luz still has development. I hated Luz in the first episode. A lot. As somebody who hated her in episodes 1-3, I can confirm that I personally have seen her grow as a character if that makes sense.
I lost my dad a few months ago all the family part's in this show made it so much easier to remember not just the bad but also the good in a sort of surprising way
This is actually the best amphibia video I’ve ever seen, I’ve been waiting for a great video documentary (it that the right word?) about amphibia and thanks for delivering lol…
I was very on the fence this whole video on subscribing to you because I know not all your content is like this. But the " *I LOVE YOU!* " SENT ME! Yall had me giggling silly at 3 AM. Com an' man, people trynna sleep here.
Not having more episodes of Sasha and Grime having wacky adventures in season 1 is the greatest mistake in animation history (defintely not exaggerating). Also, wow your voice quality sounds really nice in this.
thank you for speaking about amphibia! i recently finished watching the show and was looking for people talking about it. i loved it very much, and it makes me happy to see other people enjoying it/talking about it
I have a Disney+ subscription. The fact that The Owl House and Amphibia episodes weren't released on there in a timely manner is exactly why my partner and I pirated every single episode. Pirating meant we could watch it on the same day it came out instead of who knows when (and thanks to The Owl Club and its sister site for Amphibia, in high quality with decent subtitles). Even releasing the episodes a couple hours after they aired would have been alright with us because we're 18, we don't wake up early enough to watch TOH right when it airs and we were off doing our own things on Friday nights when Amphibia would air. Disney could have cultivated so much more direct hype for their properties if they were just smart and listened to what consumers wanted. If their dying TV shows got timely releases on Disney+, they wouldn't appear to be dying. More people would happily pay for Disney+ if they could watch Disney channel shows the same day they aired on cable.
Also I love Sasha as a character. She's very flawed but you can see how that spark of change in her during True Colors. Also I'm resounding through the video sorry in advance
Thank you for summing up my exact feelings in a way that can actually do the show justice besides " IIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" But also, why didn't you talk about the season 3 intro?
I had really never been interested in Amphibia until Season 2 came and all the Owl House youtubers I watched switched to Amphibia content. At some point I finally decided I might as well give it a look and I’m so glad I did.
Fun fact about the Spider-Man thing: the Sinister Six was changed to Insidious Six because the network thought the word “sinister” was too scary for kids, just like most other rules/restrictions the show had. Just more proof how ridiculous networks can be...
true colors really left me shocked and i’m scared yet incredibly excited to see what season three will bring. with that crossover panel, we got tons of new info and i cannot wait for october
Wonderful retrospective on one of the shows I've enjoyed most over the past year. Thank you! There's something so affecting about the depth of feeling that you clearly have and communicate - love for the story and characters and creators involved, which is just good for the soul to hear. I CANNOT WAIT for season 3, and all the new glimpses of change we're going to get with the new format. If I was to add one final element to your concluding 'hop-podge', it would be the music. TJ Hill has done amazing work especially in season 2, and the theme repeats in True Colors were just jaw-droppingly gorgeous. But really just thank you for 85 minutes of insightful goodness. Looking forward to wherever you go next!
I'm not the best at articulating what I like or dislike in musical critique so I mostly don't talk about it unless it's integral to what I'm trying to say. But yeah, the music for the show is pretty great. Especially given how little time TV composers have to work on any given episode or recurring themes.
this was really awsome to listen to and personally i love that "kids shows" are acctually talking about some more thing that could effect them that's what i think started with avatar and why it's so loved even if the characters were kids they weren't just kids end of story they had different motivations and worries and i think it's a show that a lot of these writters conciously or unconciously also got inspired by because these shows are the ones that stuck in your head. and the same reason why certain episodes of Phineas and ferb get remembered much more then other those that acctually effected the characters in the show. and the things that they could be going through.
Season 3 prediction. You know how the episodes are split into two mini episodes? I think this season will have one half of the episode dedicated to Anne and the planters on earth, and the other to Sasha trying to re-create the rebellion and save Marcy.
32 minutes > I lost a ton of my family during the pandemic including two of my four grandparents, my uncle and a handful of family friends. I almost lost my dad as well and it was a lot. This scene breaks me every time. I'm a grown ass 26yo woman who is reduced to sobs everytime I see that clip. I'd do anything to hear my grandfather speak to me in Persian even when I didn't know what he was saying.
What I noticed about True colours is it's heavy Laputa themes, with the magical key to an all powerful flying castle that the protagonists have a connection two and can (presumably) command it's power along with the villian, and the villian using the castle to rule over the world(s).
Hopping mall really hit me hard especially with sprig I’ve always heard stories about my old family members who’ve passed away before I ever met them and I get told I’d would’ve liked them a lot,it’s nice but it picks at me so the line “can you miss someone you’ve never met” really hit me
amazing video!! i LOVE amphibia and was hoping to find more analysis videos on it so im very happy youtube recommended this to me. theres SO much nuance to how this show, its world, and its characters are constructed, and i especially love the dynamic between anne, sasha, and marcy
Holy shit i just realized this video made me watch amphibia jumping in for the first time and now im here crying over the finale episode of the show. The way time moves can surprise you sometimes
Hopping Mall always hits me hard. They just wrote the characters so well. And the music is the perfect touch. And now that season 3 is out, seeing Anne and her parents, I keep thinking back to that scene.
im kinda mad cause i havent watched the show yet but i was crying listening to a grown man crying while talking about a "kid's Show". Idk if i like u or hate you for that but now im not gonna sleep until I finish watching the entirety of Amphibia, Wish me luck tomorrow at work.
Incredible essay! Put everything I love so much about Amphiba in a better way than I ever could. Despite preferring Amphibia I can't wait to watch your Owl House video, as I think I've been a bit too negative to the show in the past. Hopefully seeing what someone genuinely loves about the show can help me with that.
Loved the video. My comment for the algorithm: Thanks for the sound volume, airhorn sound effects can be fun but if they're too loud they can hurt so I do appreciate that you made them easier on headphone users 😅 Edit: I really hope you do a season 2 video of owl house with a spoiler section for really important plot stuff and moments cause hearing about true colours is actually what convinced me to watch the show. I love video essays about things that I'm interested in and sometimes hearing the stuff that's plot important about the show just tells me "wow, this stuff actually happened? Now I NEED to watch it!"
When sprig talks about his mom was crushing to me, I knew my mother but she died when I was quite young and this moment took me by surprise, this was closer to make me cry than much other moments from shows that really try to make you cry and are advertised by that.
You said at the start of your True Colors segment that you couldn't talk about the show without talking about it. I completely agree. Compare it to the chekov's gun theory. Amphibia season one and two built up 30 different chekov's guns and True Colors fired them all point blank one after the other in ways that subverted expectations while still keeping in character. It was beautifully written imo, especially the tragedy of Marcy. God I hope she's ok.
Amphibia's filler doesnt really annoy me like steven universe's, because it does a good job helping give a purpose to them and it isnt the most annoying thing during story as it aint something big like SU's. Also waiting for when a kids cartoon has a character say "Fuck"
exactly i could watch amphibia while still wanting to know more but watching steven universe sometimes just was boring even when it had some good moments in fillers.
It isn't a filler if the episode has a purpose. Amphibia still has character development in their lowkey episodes. SU has some episodes that are purely waste of time. Like, i won't complain if those were at least entertaining, but damn SU gets tedious to watch at times. To this day Amphibia has never get tedious, and every episode has fullfiled its purpose in the series overall.
@@chunkymonkey7983 Oh yeah, the one episode i usually use as example of filler. Also one of the worst episodes in Amph. Not a bad one, but damn it sucks compared to the rest of the series, even back in S1.
1:15:16 By far the best husband-wife relationship I've actually heard. I've seen people do this kind of stuff, but you can never tell if it's genuine, and my parents are a bit old to understand this kind of relationship. So this is beautiful to see and puts a little hope in my heart when I've been in the dumps. Good people, you are. Good people.
I’ve been looking for a video like this! Amphibia is my favorite show out right now and might end up being one of my all time favorites for a long time. Thank you for this i couldn’t agree more with what you said in this episode. I feel like Amphibia can be explained in one episode great episode and it’s Wally and Anne. The show is built of character dynamics and character building and Wally and Anne does it best!
Ngl, I wasn't really feeling Amphibia at first, but I trusted the fanbase and after episode 10 I was INVESTED, not to say you should start at ep 10, the epsiodes before are also important for setting foreshadowing, establishing character, the works, but MAN, that hit me onto a grind. I just binged all the way to S2 Finale and I can't wait for S3 to hit D+
LOVED this video essay!!! i'd love to hear more about how amazing this show is haha I really love this show so much and I really wish there was more reviews or video essays on how amazing it is!!!
I already really enjoyed this video for putting my love of Amphibia (which is honestly my favorite show of all time, no contest) into words, but then you said the TERF line and I love it even more

Aha...That sounded a lot funnier in my head. Though, I was serious about the "Great" part.
I really enjoyed how Sasha is portrayed since I have a friend who's just like her, the kind of guy who is incredibly controlling and bossy towards me, while at the same time doing genuinely nice things for me that make it difficult for me to call out his more egregious behavior. I related to Anne's struggle of how to do deal with Sasha a lot.
I had a friend just like that in primary school who is actually Thai so I thought it was funny because I also have blonde hair so it’s like roles reversed.
I'm super glad this is a video focusing more on why a show is fun and enjoyable rather than nitpicking or only focusing on the negatives.
It's great to have some more positivity with videos like this.
I'm not gonna ignore any criticisms I might have about a given thing, but I'm more interested in talking about things I like than things I hate, personally.
? what's wrong with criticism sorry but the only reason this video is so positive is because imo this show is almost perfect. Maybe u just prefer positivity in which case don't mind me lol
@@nascour5991 there's nothing wrong with criticism, it's just really common to see someone go into a show and being really overly critical and end up missing everything that makes it fun. Seeing someone make a video about how much they enjoy something is a nice breath of fresh air for me

This show’s comedic timing is ON POINT.
My favorite jokes are the “cut to black abrupt stop” ones at the end of each episode.
Hop pop always has the best ones. "I don't feel safe." "Where are we gonna live!?"
@@tentativegazer my favorites: "oh frog I'm unemployed!!" ^w^)!!
Binge-watching and 'Instant-Watches' are big problems.
Another great line of his. "How would I have know that!? I'm a musical theater major for frogs sake!"
Like when something big and scary appear, everybody screaming and then, cut.
Way to saying "Yep, this is life in Amphibia".
I love when they shout “I love you!” to each other 😆.

I understand how people can get ticked off with what some people find as “forced diversity” in certain pieces of media, but it’s weird that people actually had problems with The Owl House and Amphibia where representation is done so well and so naturally that you don’t find yourself really paying attention to it as much.
If anyone gets mad at a series having diversity, and it isn't like an established character, I think they're just being whiney.
@@8bitmagic That's a polite way to say racist.
@@voltairines6352 Yup far too polite, I take it back. They're being whiney racists.

HILDA TOH AND AMPHIBIA? OMGGMKGMOGKGMGMOM
If Season 1 focuses on Anne and Sashas relationship, and Season 2 focuses on Marcy and Annes relationship than I hope Season 3 focuses on Sasha and Marcies relationship.
Or maybe all three of they’re relationship
That's not going to be easy
yess since Sasha and Marcy are the ones stuck in Amphibia now maybe we'll get some scenes/screen time dedicated to just them

I'm so glad that more people are watching Amphibia. I love the close-up expressions of the characters in this show. Also, the characterization through dialogue for example, Hop Pop mention he was a theater major in the first season. Then, in season 2, he got his own episode showing off his theater skills. I just love the small details and moments that make characters who they are. I'm so excited for season 3 coming out this October!
I just love how the first we hear of Hop Pop's theater background is him falling asleep while reading "So You're a Failed Actor." It's priceless.
And they made use of that in true colors too!
For me, Owl House is a show I immediately got into, love the alt fantasy aesthetics, whereas Amphibia was for of a slow build but god, I'm glad I stuck with it. Both are amazing in their own way and both deserve much more respect then they get from the network. Looking forward to Amphibia S3 and Owl House S2 & 3
Well that's understandable since amphibia paces itself lets you get attached to the characters and get to know them that way the emotional moments hit close to heart I like the owl house but it rushes its story and paces its self way too fast but again they're 2 different shows.
@Lex Bright Raven the pacing of the owl house is wayyyy to fast before you can even process what is going on something else happens and that's not good story telling it feels rushed all the time and most of the emotional moments happen with no build up it feels forced I like the owl house but those flaws really have an appearance In season 1 season 2 is better but not by much I'm just a fan of getting to know the characters willow and gus are victims of this.
@@ghostchild3479 Was so hard for me to _feel_ Eda's sacrifice in the S1 finale, the show rarely paired Luz and Eda in adventures directly, specially after Luz joined Hexside.
Yet somehow Amphibia made me _feel_ for Sasha's sacrifice in the S1 finale, even if Sasha rarely was on screen up to that point beside some key episodes. Then i noticed, it wasn't 'cause Sasha, but 'cause Anne. We saw Anne growing up the entire season, up to understanding her friendship with Sasha thanks to her friendship with Sprig. Damn i can't get over how well written Amphibia is.
Amphibia is tragically underrated, I binged it all in early 2020 during quarantine, and to this day, it's my favourite piece of media ngl
If you havent watched it yet, I highly recommend it
Binge-watching and 'Instant-Watches' are big problems.
That’s when I watched season 1 and then I waited so long for season 2. I checked Disney plus every day waiting for it. Then I forgot about checking after about a year and now I’m finally watching season 2.

Love this video, I really understand what your saying, I love Amphibia because in season one you know there’s mystery, and you’re so excited to get to that mystery that you just wanna skip past all of the episodes, but you still want to watch them at the same time because although it’s taking a while all these hilarious episodes keep us entertained, I love how Amphibia can mix in so much humor mystery and melancholy into one series.
I feel like people overlook the mystery element of amphibia but that’s my favourite part of the show and why I started watching it. It has similar vibes to gravity falls but it has its own original plot and characters and is still a very unique show.
57:23 Thats because Its some sort of Fire sword. The sword is so hot that there wasnt actually any Chance blood could have come Out. Thats probably also why He was able to keep Marcy Alive without human nurse/doctor knowlege
Cauterization baby!
@@elianna838 yes (i think)

"People don't like "the great divide" from avatar the last airbender"
Me whos absolute favorite episode was and still is "the great divide": 👁👄👁
I always thought that episode was fine, lol
Compared to the rest of the series it was pretty bad IMO, but mine and others’ opinions should not stop you from enjoying what you enjoy
I love this type of positive videos: both praising a show and giving solid arguments instead of relying on blind praise.
Regarding Hop Pop's voice, I initially thought it was done by Dan Castanella, since I can't help but hear Grandpa Phil from Hey Arnold. It surprised when I learned he was voiced by Goofy's voice actor.
While I haven't watched the Owl House video, I really enjoyed this one and I am interested in seeing even more videos in this vein.
I adore this show, I adore video essays and long form reviews, it's like... this video was made for me
But in all seriousness great video and analysis, can't imagine how long this took to edit lol
I'm watching this after Amphibia ended and you really summed up the reason how much this means to me, this show can be insanely funny and quirky but there's so much more about this show that quirky silly frog cartoon. I really can't recommend it enough to everyone

I never rlly cared about sasha until now so I never really thought about what the end of Reunion meant for her character. Heartbreaking! Heartstomping even.
I see what you did there..
I kinda agree with you on Sasha and her character development.
I've been watching both The Owl House and Amphibia for a while. Even though I am following the Owl House more I have to say Amphibia is just my favorite of the 2. I just love the characters and how the Story is progressing seamlessly
wow this was AWESOME, i cant imagine how much work you put into this, and yes i watched this whole thing beginning to end tho i was drawing a bit after you talked about the true colors segment, i totally agree with all your point and i cant wait what will happen in season 3 of Amphibia, especially introducing the frog family to Annes parents lol
You make really awesome videos. I can see that you've put a lot of effort in them. I think you are underrated. Keep up the good work,
Hbomberguy and Oversimplified are also 2 good channels.
Or Josh Strive Hayes.
I started and finished Amphibia last week and I hate that I slept on this gem for so long, but it was totally worth it, can't wait for season 3. I also watched your Owl House video and glad I found this one as well
literally same
I noticed that you uploaded this video a few weeks ago when I was a few episodes into Amphibia. I really enjoyed your Owl House video and watched Amphibia more diligently so that I could watch this video. And it is a really good video! I love your character analysis and after finishing True Colors (may I say WTF?!) yesterday, I needed to hear someone else talk about it.
After seeing What Disney did to the 3rd season of the owl house, I can concur that they (the executive side) sucks.
About 1:11:38 - The Ghost and Molly McGee is another Disney show with a Thai main character, and I'm pretty sure it's coming out at the same time as Amphibia season 3.
I'd seen bits of that show's promos but didn't know about that. Cool.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Molly is Thai too!
@@wolfkitty42 I looked it up and it said she is part Thai part Irish but they don't seem to express her Irish heritage really
Just realized in the chess game anne is a heron and hop pop was technically fighting anne in the scene which relates to sprig and polly's parents

Me: huh, haven't seen that video ?? ill watch it wait it's like an hour, maybe ill watch the first like 15 mins
Me, nearly at the end of the video: THIS CREATOR IS SO GOOD THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD I MUST SUBSCRIBE- WAIT HOW THEY ONLY HAVE 4.81K SUBS ???????? HOW????????????
About the show's formula compared to SU: Personally, I think a lot of the filer episodes work much better for Amphibia compared to Steven Universe. I think part of that has to do with the fact Amphibia is not like our world, so time spent not on the plot is still fun because we can explore more of Amphibia, it's culture, and creatures. In SU, anything that was not about the Gems was very similar to our own world. So it's a little harder to establish intrigue with basic human characters compared to Amphibia's outlandish depiction. Not that the human characters in SU were boring, but to me personally most of them were either mediocre, annoying, or merely charming.
Granted I found the characters in Amphibia more enjoyable and easy to watch haha, the Gems were very grating to me at times.
Also it was good at humor and its emotional moment God the emotional moments...
*1:17:03* The Chickalisk scene really deserved a shoutout in the Humor section, and I'm glad it got the credit it deserved, as it undoubtedly is comedy platinum. Man, that scene was on another level of bonkers!
After watching Amphibia from the very start up to that point, i was always prepared for any wacky stuff... and yet that scene destroyed me, took me so off guard i had to pause the video and watch it again just to make sure i was watching it correctly and not making shit up. Amazing show.
The difference between an episode with not much in it and filler is the ending. A filler episode ends with nothing changing at all, they went to a place to do something but that thing didn't matter so oh well. Notorious filler is in naruto, the various "methods of finding sasuke" episodes are all complete busts, they start with them trying to find a way to track sasuke, and end with that method failing for some reason. Rinse and repeat about 10 times.
EXACTLY! This is why I love Amphibia and I would say even puts it in the same league as Adventure Time. The majority of Adventure Time episodes are "filler" but you don't even realize that fact because almost every story no matter how seemingly inconsequential actually develops characters and adds to the overall complexity/multifacetedness of that world even if the plot itself isn't driven forward. It's the same in Amphibia. If a show is a sandwich the plot is the bread and butter but the meat and the veg and the delicious sauces are the characters and the world building.
but..... nothing change after each episode. the character development from the episode disappear in the next one. what are you talking about
@@LeoBladini not for amphibia every episode is always remembered and reminded us that the characters changed even more so that the characters sometimes look back on those events they even had a whole episode about it lmao.
The adventures in Amphibia didn't really feel insignificant or forgotten either it had its purpose of development of the characters and their relationships with the side characters or maybe become important plot points or to be looked backed in future episodes, and how our Anne went from ' Anne the beast' to 'Anne of the year' all throught one season making it believable
from tv tropes:
'There is a common belief that the original quote was actually "The blood of the covenant [or battlefield] is thicker than the water of the womb," which would have been an inversion, however, this is actually an Urban Legend and the earliest known versions of the quote (dating back to 12th century Germany) are played straight." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Amphibia is the greatest. I knew I would be a great show from the first episode. From its music, well written story to its importance of friendship and found family it just has it all.
The one thing that puts Amphibia above the owl house for me, is that Luz never learns. Her whole problem is that she keeps blindly jumping into things and she is never punished for it. She always finds away to magically fix things. While Anne learns something new about life and her character develops regularly. I dunno tho Luz might change in season 2b. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk
I see very clear setup of that happening in s2, but it's yet the start. When you'll watch the recent TOH episode you'll see what I'm talking about.
Fr in the Owl House mid-season 2 finale when Luz is like “yes mom I have matured” I had to pause because . . . when did that happen?? Did I miss something? Luz still acts exactly as she did in the first episode lol, in fact she’s probably gotten worse 😂
@@livvworm exactly
@@livvworm Um? That's... just false. You can have your own opinions ofc but don't act like she hasn't developed as a character just because you don't like the show. I agree that Anne learns more but Luz still has development. I hated Luz in the first episode. A lot. As somebody who hated her in episodes 1-3, I can confirm that I personally have seen her grow as a character if that makes sense.
@@BreatheForAMoment alright, how did she mature then? Really, please tell me because I can’t think of anything
Owl House and Amphibia are great complements for each other -- they're very much 'sister series' in a sense.
I lost my dad a few months ago all the family part's in this show made it so much easier to remember not just the bad but also the good in a sort of surprising way
This is actually the best amphibia video I’ve ever seen, I’ve been waiting for a great video documentary (it that the right word?) about amphibia and thanks for delivering lol…
I was very on the fence this whole video on subscribing to you because I know not all your content is like this. But the " *I LOVE YOU!* " SENT ME! Yall had me giggling silly at 3 AM. Com an' man, people trynna sleep here.
Not having more episodes of Sasha and Grime having wacky adventures in season 1 is the greatest mistake in animation history (defintely not exaggerating).
Also, wow your voice quality sounds really nice in this.
Thank you! I found some free software that helps make the Blue Yeti sound a little more professional. Been using it for the past couple months.
Binge-watching and 'Instant-Watches' are big problems.
thank you for speaking about amphibia! i recently finished watching the show and was looking for people talking about it. i loved it very much, and it makes me happy to see other people enjoying it/talking about it
I have a Disney+ subscription. The fact that The Owl House and Amphibia episodes weren't released on there in a timely manner is exactly why my partner and I pirated every single episode. Pirating meant we could watch it on the same day it came out instead of who knows when (and thanks to The Owl Club and its sister site for Amphibia, in high quality with decent subtitles). Even releasing the episodes a couple hours after they aired would have been alright with us because we're 18, we don't wake up early enough to watch TOH right when it airs and we were off doing our own things on Friday nights when Amphibia would air. Disney could have cultivated so much more direct hype for their properties if they were just smart and listened to what consumers wanted. If their dying TV shows got timely releases on Disney+, they wouldn't appear to be dying. More people would happily pay for Disney+ if they could watch Disney channel shows the same day they aired on cable.
Those websites were exactly how I watched the shows too. Disney is pathetic.
So I watched both seasons. I love how season 1 Ann grows up through the season. I love her arc for the first season
Also I love Sasha as a character. She's very flawed but you can see how that spark of change in her during True Colors. Also I'm resounding through the video sorry in advance
So side note. I was very tired when writing this so yea XD
Thank you for summing up my exact feelings in a way that can actually do the show justice besides " IIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!"
But also, why didn't you talk about the season 3 intro?
Cuz even if someone feasibly watches the whole video without seeing the show they can still be surprised at how much season 3 is gonna shake things up
You're pfp is making me cry.

I had really never been interested in Amphibia until Season 2 came and all the Owl House youtubers I watched switched to Amphibia content. At some point I finally decided I might as well give it a look and I’m so glad I did.
Fun fact about the Spider-Man thing: the Sinister Six was changed to Insidious Six because the network thought the word “sinister” was too scary for kids, just like most other rules/restrictions the show had. Just more proof how ridiculous networks can be...
true colors really left me shocked and i’m scared yet incredibly excited to see what season three will bring. with that crossover panel, we got tons of new info and i cannot wait for october
Wonderful retrospective on one of the shows I've enjoyed most over the past year. Thank you! There's something so affecting about the depth of feeling that you clearly have and communicate - love for the story and characters and creators involved, which is just good for the soul to hear. I CANNOT WAIT for season 3, and all the new glimpses of change we're going to get with the new format. If I was to add one final element to your concluding 'hop-podge', it would be the music. TJ Hill has done amazing work especially in season 2, and the theme repeats in True Colors were just jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
But really just thank you for 85 minutes of insightful goodness. Looking forward to wherever you go next!
I'm not the best at articulating what I like or dislike in musical critique so I mostly don't talk about it unless it's integral to what I'm trying to say. But yeah, the music for the show is pretty great. Especially given how little time TV composers have to work on any given episode or recurring themes.
this was really awsome to listen to and personally i love that "kids shows" are acctually talking about some more thing that could effect them that's what i think started with avatar and why it's so loved even if the characters were kids they weren't just kids end of story they had different motivations and worries and i think it's a show that a lot of these writters conciously or unconciously also got inspired by because these shows are the ones that stuck in your head. and the same reason why certain episodes of Phineas and ferb get remembered much more then other those that acctually effected the characters in the show. and the things that they could be going through.
Season 3 prediction.
You know how the episodes are split into two mini episodes?
I think this season will have one half of the episode dedicated to Anne and the planters on earth, and the other to Sasha trying to re-create the rebellion and save Marcy.
You were right!
32 minutes > I lost a ton of my family during the pandemic including two of my four grandparents, my uncle and a handful of family friends. I almost lost my dad as well and it was a lot. This scene breaks me every time. I'm a grown ass 26yo woman who is reduced to sobs everytime I see that clip. I'd do anything to hear my grandfather speak to me in Persian even when I didn't know what he was saying.
Can we just appreciate how wholesome 1:15:12-1:15:22 is?
Yes, PLEASE.
What I noticed about True colours is it's heavy Laputa themes, with the magical key to an all powerful flying castle that the protagonists have a connection two and can (presumably) command it's power along with the villian, and the villian using the castle to rule over the world(s).
Hopping mall really hit me hard especially with sprig I’ve always heard stories about my old family members who’ve passed away before I ever met them and I get told I’d would’ve liked them a lot,it’s nice but it picks at me so the line “can you miss someone you’ve never met” really hit me
I just finished True Colors. It made me cry for 2 hours lol. R.I.P Marcy. 😥
Don't worry she's not dead. 1. It was shown in the season 3 intro she's alive and 2. Disney would never kill off one of their protagonists permanently
amazing video!! i LOVE amphibia and was hoping to find more analysis videos on it so im very happy youtube recommended this to me. theres SO much nuance to how this show, its world, and its characters are constructed, and i especially love the dynamic between anne, sasha, and marcy
Holy shit i just realized this video made me watch amphibia jumping in for the first time and now im here crying over the finale episode of the show. The way time moves can surprise you sometimes
Hopping Mall always hits me hard. They just wrote the characters so well. And the music is the perfect touch. And now that season 3 is out, seeing Anne and her parents, I keep thinking back to that scene.

Incredible essay! Put everything I love so much about Amphiba in a better way than I ever could. Despite preferring Amphibia I can't wait to watch your Owl House video, as I think I've been a bit too negative to the show in the past. Hopefully seeing what someone genuinely loves about the show can help me with that.
I’m kinda glad I waited for season 2 to come on Disney+. I never saw spoilers for true colors!
Waiting for it to come out on Disney + was my only option
Loved the video. My comment for the algorithm: Thanks for the sound volume, airhorn sound effects can be fun but if they're too loud they can hurt so I do appreciate that you made them easier on headphone users 😅
Edit: I really hope you do a season 2 video of owl house with a spoiler section for really important plot stuff and moments cause hearing about true colours is actually what convinced me to watch the show. I love video essays about things that I'm interested in and sometimes hearing the stuff that's plot important about the show just tells me "wow, this stuff actually happened? Now I NEED to watch it!"
Great analysis on the show! Always happy to see more people talking about it!
I never knew this show could bring me back to watch Disney again. I'm glad Amphibia and the Owl House exists.
My heart goes all out for Amphibia and your awesome vid.
Thank you!
Always love watching it w the fam.
Fantastic wonderful video. Love the characters and humor and the backgrounds of Amphibia. also Sally Galaxy Shippuden is a great parody name
When sprig talks about his mom was crushing to me, I knew my mother but she died when I was quite young and this moment took me by surprise, this was closer to make me cry than much other moments from shows that really try to make you cry and are advertised by that.
Finally more people are starting to watch Amphibia and as someone who’s been here since day 1 I couldn’t be happier
You said at the start of your True Colors segment that you couldn't talk about the show without talking about it. I completely agree. Compare it to the chekov's gun theory. Amphibia season one and two built up 30 different chekov's guns and True Colors fired them all point blank one after the other in ways that subverted expectations while still keeping in character. It was beautifully written imo, especially the tragedy of Marcy. God I hope she's ok.
Amphibia's filler doesnt really annoy me like steven universe's, because it does a good job helping give a purpose to them and it isnt the most annoying thing during story as it aint something big like SU's.
Also waiting for when a kids cartoon has a character say "Fuck"
exactly i could watch amphibia while still wanting to know more but watching steven universe sometimes just was boring even when it had some good moments in fillers.
It isn't a filler if the episode has a purpose.
Amphibia still has character development in their lowkey episodes.
SU has some episodes that are purely waste of time. Like, i won't complain if those were at least entertaining, but damn SU gets tedious to watch at times. To this day Amphibia has never get tedious, and every episode has fullfiled its purpose in the series overall.
@@miserirken yup exactly what im thinking!, While I enjoyed some of SU's filler eps they werent in anyway rly helping develop characters or story
@@miserirken We can forget about Cracking Mrs. Croaker though...
@@chunkymonkey7983 Oh yeah, the one episode i usually use as example of filler. Also one of the worst episodes in Amph. Not a bad one, but damn it sucks compared to the rest of the series, even back in S1.
1:15:16 By far the best husband-wife relationship I've actually heard. I've seen people do this kind of stuff, but you can never tell if it's genuine, and my parents are a bit old to understand this kind of relationship. So this is beautiful to see and puts a little hope in my heart when I've been in the dumps. Good people, you are. Good people.
I’ve been looking for a video like this! Amphibia is my favorite show out right now and might end up being one of my all time favorites for a long time. Thank you for this i couldn’t agree more with what you said in this episode. I feel like Amphibia can be explained in one episode great episode and it’s Wally and Anne. The show is built of character dynamics and character building and Wally and Anne does it best!
Everybody criticize S1 slow pace, but trust me there are almost no filler in Amphibia as proven by S3
If you watched the hardest thing you'd know why this scene hits different now 21:39
2:40 I love how the impactful clips are JUST from True Colors. XD
Ngl, I wasn't really feeling Amphibia at first, but I trusted the fanbase and after episode 10 I was INVESTED, not to say you should start at ep 10, the epsiodes before are also important for setting foreshadowing, establishing character, the works, but MAN, that hit me onto a grind. I just binged all the way to S2 Finale and I can't wait for S3 to hit D+

fun fact! "Hopadiah" is a frog version of 'Obadiah', a biblical name. So yeah there's most likely a frog bible out there.
And the characters say stuff like "Oh my Frog" and "Thank Frog", implying Frog is their version of God
The name sounded familiar to me as a religious name but I thought the actual real name also started with a H
