The Owl House 2x21 Reaction, "King's Tide"

enjoy! next ep on Monday!

Comments

"Are they TRYING to hurt us?" Yes. The answer is YES Kenny 😭

MeL

According to Dana Terrace, the Disney+ captions are incorrect; Belos did in fact say 'Caleb' when he saw Flapjack, not 'kill him'.

Kyle MacDonald

Also, Belos didn’t get rid of the basilisks, he brought them back somehow. They’d been extinct for a while until he came along. Vee said he was watching them to see how they drained magic.

Jenny D

To elaborate on the Caleb thing, if you go back to 2x13, it was Hunter’s palisman who gave him the name. Hunter was flailing when Willow and Gus asked who he is, Flapjack chirped, and then Hunter goes, “Caleb? Caleb!” Also, back in 2x06 when we first met Flapjack, at the end of the episode he chirps at the Bat Queen and she says, “You’ve finally found someone after all this time?” And in 2x10 the book Jacob showed with a picture of the two brothers meeting a witch, the brother in the front, who looked like Hunter and seemed eager to see the witch, had a cardinal on his shoulder.

Jenny D

yep he said Caleb

Kaylie Jones

He'd be a Trumper today.

Carlos Guzman

That's very nice of you, but I'm gonna have to decline. I'll return as a patron when I can.

Olivia

The "knife coven" leader is the head of the Healing Coven. It was a scalpel.

SweetCandle

Just to clarify, the draining spell has nothing to do with the door to the human realm. Below could've gone home whenever he wanted after Hunter gave him the portal key at the end of Eclipse Lake. The draining spell is exclusively because below is genocidal and wants to kill at witches. There is no purpose to it beyond mass murder. Edit: finished watching, great reaction. I always love seeing people react to the end of season 2 haha, it just comes out of nowhere. But expanding on my further point I really think you guys are comparing Belos to Father too much and it's causing you to misunderstand his character. He's a religious fanatic with an intense guilt complex, he doesn't want power for power's sake but because he believes he can use it to destroy the enemies of God, and by enemies of god i of course mean a religious/ethnic minority. The draining spell is just a pg way of committing genocide, outside of the obviously aesthetic inspiration it's not actually that similar to father's plan

Sarah

He did say Caleb

Azi

Ah, thank you for letting me know

Mathew Staib

Disney plus didn't cut it, its still at the end. It's just that Kenny didn't stay right until the end of the episode, and disney plus has a stupid mechanic of making the end credits small screen

Tom Horne

and therefore become the Witch Hunter General, which is totally a real and respected thing in the human world in the current time xD

fr0st

Also well spotted, Kenny, that is indeed an Amphibia reference!

fr0st

I love Montana's sudden Dr Seuss moment: Oh, this is the collector! The human form, not the reflector!

fr0st

I came to say this. Literally just wanted to kill them in one fell swoop.

LukeyBoi

Idk why Disney plus decided to cut it, probably from pushing commercials on Disney Channel, but there is a part at the end of the credit scene where the good from Belos falls down and closes the door because of him hopping on Hunter's shoulder.

Mathew Staib

I imagine it was a case of dancing around the issue a bit, probably not allowed to just say 'I want to kill all the witches'

J. Jenny Jameson

You seem to be confused as to the purpose/relationship of the draining spell, covens and the portal door. THe draining spell was NOT needed at all to open the portal. Belos literally just wanted to kill everyone then dip. Remember Eda had a portal door that worked for years. All Belos needed to open the door was Titan blood which Hunter got him in Eclipse Lake. The draining spell wasn't powering the door, it was just sucking all the witches magic away leaving them all to die. The spell is powered by the 9 coven heads which is why belos needed them. Basically He had 2 plans: 1 kill everyone and 2, open the portal and go back home.

Becky Ingraham

Belos didn't say "Kill him". It was "Caleb" and I'm fairly sure that was confirmed by the creator. And we had to sit on that finale for months haha

PearseNation

the subs are wrong on the Caleb/ Kill him part. Belos DOES in fact say Caleb and the subs are horribly wrong. Dont know why they were never fixed.

Becky Ingraham

Which is ridiculous because Dana even came out and confirmed it was Caleb, but people still lecture me for "getting it wrong" 🙄

Callum Ringsy

Welp, I guess Luz kept her promise to Camilla at least.

fr0st

They already watch both of those once a week and pretty sure they will look at new western animation shows to replace this one. They've mentioned a bunch previously that are front runners.

fr0st

The soundtrack is awesome https://youtu.be/liM0aMCwuZU https://youtu.be/LPJ2DYrcUgw

Catradora fan

He kinda of screams bigoted self righteous religious nut

Big K

Wow that’s nice of you

Big K

Yeah, who would he be saying “Kill Him” to anyways?

Big K

Yeah that’s what I thought you meant

Big K

They already do my hero academia. The pattern has been to do 1 anime and 1 western animation show so I think they'll look at those to replace

Suplee215

Yea. I can't find if thats a title that was used by more than just him or not. Says something about parliament not giving him the title which suggests there was a procedure for doing so

Suplee215

If you want to read about the unbelievably actually real Witch Finder General: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Hopkins

J. Jenny Jameson

Heh, that's what I meant with my question. I was so shocked at the end when it finally clicked that there was no master plan, just pure destruction.

J. Jenny Jameson

With the season over will they start watching Code Geass or My Hero Academia?

Zsolt Lengyel

Nah he said Caleb you're right Kenny

Blacklung

Just so you know Witch-Hunter General is in a way a thing from his time, Matthew Hopkins is sometimes called the Witch-Hunter General, pretty much means the leader of the Witch-Hunters back when they were still active.

Historia-Europa

It was "Caleb". Never fully trust subtitles on something that wasn't released as subtitles. Could be an auto-transcription error, could be an error by someone who didn't know the script well, but it was "Caleb."

JHB

The subtitles are wrong, he did say Caleb. Even Dana and the crew were confused when they first saw that. It's weird they still haven't fixed that... Also, there's a thing during the credits that got cut off for some reason.

Mark O'Leary

nope, subtitles are wrong and we are all very confused as to why. he doesn't say "kill him", he says "caleb". good ear!

clau

The whole "Caleb" vs "Kill him" thing is pretty widely disputed even still. You'll find out more about that in S3E1.

Gorkinzola

You were dead on Kenny, he did say Caleb

Corey Porter

He does say Caleb, Dana actually confirmed it not long after the episode released via Twitter- something along the lines of she didn’t expect them to go so hardcore with that subtitle error Also I’m pretty sure the orb the collector is in in the intro is just simply based off of a beast ball in Pokémon- a pokeball meant to handle ultra beasts which are just Pokémon from different dimensions

Kathleen Joyce

33:56 *Witch HUNTER General

Big K

Witch hunter general was a position in real life during the witch trials. Also during the trials it was believed that witches were literally evil people who made deal with the devil abs did their work. So this is a religious genocide attempt from a fanatic

Suplee215

Here we are!!!!! So psyched for the next season!!!

Neutral Nick

Hey Olivia. I dont mind paying for your sub for a couple months if money is tight. We have all been there, so there is no shame or pity here. Just trying to help :-)

Æther Paradox

This is the last reaction I’ll be able to watch as a Patron (gotta save money), but it was a fun one. I’m really excited to see you two finish the series. The draining spell is also separate from the portal. The only way to power a portal, as far as we know, is to use titan blood.

Olivia

While it is never said, it is implied that Philip is a Puritan or some other religious extremist.

Robin Jansson

The subtitles are wrong ! He does say Caleb, it's been confirmed

Néo

so one thing I’m not sure if you guys understand, Belos didn’t need to destroy the boiling isles to go home. He just needed titan blood and a door. He did the draining spell out of pure hatred and prejudice. He could have just left as soon as hunter gave him the portal key.

Big K

I feel like I've waited so long for y'all to see this episode. It's the culmination of all Belos's hard work :') my fav evil murder grandpa deserved every second of what happened LOL. Can't wait for S3 and also congratulations on the wedding!!! Also the subtitles are wrong, it really was Caleb that Belos said. That's his brother's name!
