This was really dark. To me, because eda felt worthless, it felt more like a suicide attempt than self sacrifice. It's one of my favourite scenes in animation!! Just beautiful
It was both. They were about to commit homicide and suicide after. Raine was ready because "didn't have anything to lose", and Eda thought that she was able to take that sacrifice in her crisis of "King and Luz have real families to return with" like "they are going to leave me behind eventually, so..." it was very sad... (sorry my english is not good)
@@jenmordecai8817 This is far from the only instance of darker messages in kids’ animation. For example, MLP’s infamous scene where Pinkie Pie goes insane, and then another episodes involves literal magical mass murder as Pinkie’s clones are sent back to the Mirror Pool. Another example is Digimon Tamers, and while this is an anime (which basically automatically makes it darker), even in the _English dub_ of this _kids’ anime_, there’s a scene where a 12 year old talks about wanting to do the self-oof before attempting to do said oof using a hand puppet. Isn’t that lovely? Now, another example of underlying messages from TOH: Chronic Illness’ effects in families, symbolized by Eda’s Curse in Keeping Up A-Fear-Ances. Gwendolyn (may have spelled that wrong, my apologies!) Clawthorne paid more attention to Eda, the child suffering from a curse (chronic illness), neglecting Lilith to an extent (the healthier child). Admittedly, I did kind of see this reflection from some other comments around the internet, and I may be misremembering and/or misinterpreting some details. TL;DR, even kids’ shows can have dark secondary meanings. Kids may not always see them, but older viewers do more often. I do realize I went on a tangent there, which may have been a slight bit unnecessary, especially given the fact that you seem a bit young based on your reply here. That, and the fact that I’m 6 months late... 😅
I'm pretty sure Raine says 'fears' haha - its a reference to a previous scene where Eda tells Raine to get the jump on their fears and give em a wack in the face
For people who don't know, Requiem is a Great name for it as Requiem serves a name in music, but also having the meaning of a Remembrance for something. It's literally indicating Eda's Requiem (A memory dedicated to Eda) of sorts...
How sad would that have been, for Luz and King to go searching for Eda, eager to share with her the fantastic news, only to find the horror of what she did to herself in a misdirected sense of worthlessness.
@@Cl3m0ntine oh yea. I loved Raine and Eda’s relationship, and I was literally so heartbroken when Raine was just trying to protect Eda, not push her away. Raine’s my fav character, so I’m really exited to see what comes next 00
This melody is amazing, I leave myself thinking a lot what would have happened if Eda and Raine had continued to play. Maybe this scene is a Disney gem.
Okay but I just got to say, I appreciate Eda’s foot tap 0:24 (And the head nod before that). As a band kid, I like the little detail because I do the tapping when I play. Don’t know why it makes me so happy, but it does. But I loved this scene so much. The music, the motions, the character emotions and words.
Definitely one of Eda's best scenes. And to think just how close they came to destroying two witches who were actually allies. A classic moment from a very interesting cartoon.
I wonder if this is going to come back up in the future. A disintegration spell is a pretty dark thing for a kids series to bring up only to drop right after. Maybe they try again later, but with Eda's curse now in check it becomes more controllable?
Omg I have a theory. Hear me out. (Mild spoiler warning) With the newest episode out now (season 2 ep 15) I think what this power in the video might be is the same bard magic that Raine used to change the chemical composition of the tea (or any liquid) but just cranked to the maximum. Eda might be capable of changing the molecular structure not only of liquids but also of living matter. It could be tied to the negative emotions she’s feeling which is why it spiralled out of control (or I could be completely wrong and the whole thing is unrelated) but imagine how powerful Raine would be if they also somehow mastered that kind or power.
I think it’s that Eda’s curse is messing with the magic that keeps the island alive through Raine. Since their instrument connected with the area around them once Eda joined it started destroying what Raine touched.
Eda's curse messes with her magic, or to be more exact, it destroys magic. Raine is using their magic to which creates a magical field around the area but because Eda's curses alters or destroys magic, its effecting the magical field that Raine created
This is a beautiful scene with so much that can be read into it, but one of the things that stands out most to me is the implication that some of the curse's effects can be spread through vestiges of Eda's magic. The tactical and narrative implications are concerning. I would suspect that this comes from the collector turning the owl beast into a scroll as opposed to the owl beast itself.
When she fell to the floor it felt like she was trying to get the curse to kill her faster, she would rather die than see her kids leave her. (Also, holy cow this was 8 months ago?????)
This was a really beautiful moment in the show,but as stated by another comment on this video,Eda being ready to die felt more like a suicide attempt than a self-sacrifice,and i love Eda a lot so seeing that genuinely made me tear up
Invade no one realizes why it became destructive is that since she’s devoid of magic and stuck with the owl beast who’s known for its purely chaotic and destructive behavior, it was using the curse to destroy and consume, that’s why it glows with such a dark aura Also another reason is because when she’s joins in, is when it becomes destructive in nature, unlike when twine was only playing
The music is beautiful and the way it stops when Eda hears Raine ask if she had kids and somone to go back top. It's perfect. It's like in that moment she realised she had somone to live for and love but she tries to hide it away. Also the voice activity dromedary and Raine is perfect. Raine especially has a lot of emmpipns to deal with both here and in the series and they knock it out of the park with every scene
This was a beutiful seen 2 starts to push lindsey to the side this was amazing song beautifully played (grabs broom starts pushing away lindsey stirling even more)
Looking back and realizing that king’s only living family is Eda and everyone at the owl house. Imagine king finding that Eda sacrificed herself for him. She wouldn’t be the only person to have sacrificed themselves for king. Could you imagine king’s guilt
Ugh their love story makes me so sad! I need more, such a beautiful love story it literally makes me cry, what a beautiful couple they could've been, even amazing parents at that 😩😭
Magic, excitement, enchantments, comedy, wonders, imagination, romance, music, action, fantasy, thrills, and adventures. How sweet to see Raine Whispers and Eda Clawthorne perform magical music together. Yes, what an enchanting melody to hear this morning. And then a reaction when he sees a picture of her with kids, Luz and King. But the wizard was not angry at her. Eda did not want to make Raine feel bad. He still cares about her and loves her 🎵🎼🎶🔮🪄💫✨⭐️🌟🌠🌌🧙♂️🧙🧙♀️🐲🐉🧝♂️🧝🧝♀️🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚🧞🧞♂️🧞♀️🧜♂️🧜🧜♀️🧌🦄
In this episode, Eda feels worthless. In Thanks to Them, Luz feels sorta the same way. I am way too in love with this show and Luz and Eda are my favorite relationship. (Mother and daughter/platonic)
This scene always got to me because Eda crouching down felt like she was trying to speed up the process. :/ She didn't feel like she had a family that cared about her and her "kids" other people waiting for them elsewhere (so she thought) so Eda really felt like she had nothing to lose.
I’m watching through owl house for the first time right now. (Halfway through season 2). This episode is easily one of my favorite episodes so far. As dark as this scene was it was beautiful. And the song was beautiful too
If I won a cent every time a duet made me cry, I would have two cents, which isn't much but it's still weird enough that it happened twice. This is the second time an emotional duet almost made me cry and my spine shiver. The first time was in Omori
What is up with Disney and having literal songs of death in their cartoon series as of late? No joke, I actually got flashback to “Wither and Decay,” from Tangled while watching how everything around them was seemingly disintegrating.
imagine a whole AU where Eda and Raine reunited like 10-12 years earlier and now have a child whos like, 6 and has fluffy ears because of Eda's curse. and Raine just shows up like 1-2 times a week to see the kid. and remember the scene where King announced he was changing his last name? imagine that but the whole time theres just this short kid with poofy/fluffy teal hair and sunglasses, plus the most derpy face you've ever seen. I know this would probably not happen but I've been trying to imagine what a biological child of Eda and Raine would look like since, I dunno, 7 hours ago? also question: you know how witches have bile sack thingies? does the owl curse destroy a persons magic by like, tearing a metaphorical hole in the bile sack thingy?
