The Dragon Prince

The story of a journey was the point, focus, character development and mode of world building - it was tossed aside to be able to give "big pictures and background" that 1) while I am sure, and I did, want more - what we got was not useful and 2) broke the methodology.

They set up Ezra splitting from the group in order to show his journey as king along side the continuation of the others journey... that is fine... I didnt watch past ep2 or whenever the gay elves showed up but- thanks for that synopsis... zero reason now to watch...

Seasons 4,5,6,7 confirmed.

Good... good. This show is pretty darn good, so it warms the cockles of my heart to know it will get enough seasons to put forth a decent story.

Dropped it when the gays got turned up... kids haven't asked to watch it... so, it's done in my house.

Sad. Had a lot I would have enjoyed.

Hope y'all enjoy

They setup a really cool world to explore with a lot of unanswered questions, while the episodes that specifically called out the gay/lesbians were forced I enjoyed the series a ton. Kinda hope they have a few episodes similar to Avatar (Korra) that detailed the first avatar, just with the dude who discovered dark magic and how that came to be.

I appreciate when they actually model the characters after the person who plays them, either they are casting right and it fits or they're doing something wrong.

But then you look at Horizon and shake your head, wonder why someone hasn't made a mod to do exactly that.

Huh, 2 year time skip? Given that most of the human army was destroyed after being turned into crazy lava people I assume we'll see alliances with humans and elves? Glad this got some more seasons given they are axing a lot of other content.

There was some novels that were released after S3 ended and before they locked in the deal for S4-7, so it's not an arbitrary time skip at least.

This was.... bad. I enjoyed the hell out of S1-S3, enough to watch it every few months or put it on as background noise.
- Badass aunt (Amaya?) reduced to effectively Lesbian bride plotline
- Fire elf queen reduced to lesbian queen & brother wants the throne because racism plotline
- Forced Religion/faith plotline over a fire elf candle vs a human engineer in a camp full of cloth tents
- Viren reduced to a nervous/anxious mess, admittedly after being dead/brought back to life but still
- Claudia's earthblood elf bf having a conversation with Viren that 'he' knew 'he' was a 'Terry' since he was little
- Callum and Rayla apparently went from willing to die for each other to her leaving for the entire 2 year skip, writing/dialogue was awkward and terrible.

The only thing this crappy season did well/was cool to watch, are the bits of background regarding Arravos and the arch dragons. They should have skipped the 2 year hiatus and just gone through the aftermath of the battle, Callum learning more sky magic and Ez taking back the throne.

Edit: Also that dragons have apparently never had jelly tarts, kind of a funny gag with jelly tart guy.

Seems accurate, not the best showing for the first leg of their return

starting this now. imho. the previous seasons don't deserve that high of praise. The story line is kindof fucked. and, alot of characters actions and motivations are just ?????

Viren especially. what even the fuck is this guys plan? for my king and country, kills his king. for humanity!, is the butt buddy of some evil mirror elf. Nothing this guy does or says makes any sense... dark magic! show never explained why dark magic is actually bad.

ohh, this is starting off bad. Voice acting seems worse. Writing seems even more childish then before.
The childish writing could be passed off as either child characters, or child target audience. But when you create properties like this, you need to grow with your audience. its been 4 years, since the start. Your audience is now 4 years older. if it was 12, they are now 16.


They established Varen as being smart, and paranoid. But on being rezzed, he asks no questions. doesn't ask what Claudia had to do, what price she paid, doesn't comfort her. no thank you, or you shouldn't have done it/trusted the elf. Doesn't ask what Aavaros WANTs in exchange for his help..

What a show spends it time on says alot. They thought the deaf lady getting engaged with the elf was very important to show. that couldn't happen off screen.

epi2.
boyfiends plant powers.. trans flag flowers. for fucks sake.. this kid is going to be a trans elf aren't they?

you know what, nah. not even going to finish. I'm out. Again, its not even the kid being trans, although, that just shows how up their asses they are. Its they again, stopped the show, to put up the trans flag breaking the fucking 4th wall, to do it. Priorities. It shows these show writers have no idea what they are doing. this is like High Gaurdian spice. Stopping the show, to evangelize and show representation, with shit that has NOTHING to do with the plot or storyline, while utterly failing at actually telling the main plot.
