That's going to be a VERY short video since they already covered the basement plot of Season 2... which was like half of the actual plot. Season 2 was just one big training montage with a weird 2 episode flashback that both has no real impact on the plot while also undermining major existing themes.
@@DairunCates ...How exactly? Season 2 sets a clear path for where the characters' (well, except Aaravos) arcs are going. It's a map, and definitely not something to skip. Which theme does it undermine? It DEVELOPED on many of them.
@@DairunCatesI think you're getting the actual placement of the basement arc messed up. All they showed here was Gren getting captured and Viren doing weird dark magic and discovering the existence of Aaravos, all of which happened in season 1. They still have all interactions between Viren and Aaravos left for the season 2 video.
Real question though dark magic doesnt seem all that bad I mean if all you have do is kill shit and use its parts it's basically no diffrent from what humans have been doing since forever Aside from the ugly side effects of coarse
@@JE-zl6uy I'll need to check but the actress in Dragon Prince does sound Irish. She makes me think of Murial from Courage the Cowardly Dog...I so love that accent.
A popular fan theory used to suggest that Viren used his two-headed Soulfang serpent to switch the souls of Pip and Harrow. This was later debunked as false by creator Justin Richmond at the Comic con of 2019, when Harrow was confirmed to be dead.
@@Rynewulf cept that it would go radically against Viren's entire motivation to that point, that Viren was on the verge of offering himself before being shut down, the moonshadow elves murder/suicide armlets showed the king as dead, and killing the kids only makes sense if Viren is operating from the reality that Harrow is dead, and the boys can't rule or (as was later proved true) would be controlled by another councilor, and thus the war (that came to pass without him, via the dragons invading) wouldn't have been prepared for. He gives the parrot some sideeye in the morning after it's over. That's "the set up"
@@Markmaben17 Except that we don't really know exactly what the pact triggered on, as in mechanically. All it could do is be finished once the body of Harrow dies. It indicates nothing about the Soul being different.
@@maxxor-overworldhero6730 ok but that doesn't address any of the other material or character points raised. He was literally ready to die for Harrow, so even if he pigheadedly forced it on harrow to save him, he would consequently almost certainly try to then reverse it/put harrow into another body. There's literally no point if he doesn't. If he cares enough to save harrow, he'd absolutely turn him back. If he resolved that harrow needed to be out of the way to save the nation, he literally would let things play out as it happened.
Loyce Gulledge It is weird that people any accent in a fantasy show, because none of the country's exist there. Not the USA, not England, not Ireland etc.
I like that their elves are all different, like elves used to be WAAAAAY back in the day. But then again, that’s how we got Tolkin dwarves so I can’t really complain.
Idk why, but I honestly love the "last Word Response" cutaways or whatever you'd call that, in stuff like this. (where the last word of a sentence becomes the first word or topic of the next sentence). Something about that always struck a chord with me in media. Great job guys! Can't wait to see what else you come up with in other shows as well!
Season One: Slow to introduce the necessary elements. Vague on a lot of the lore and world building. Season Two: So much better than the first season! Plenty of explanations for what everything talked about in S1 means. More intrigue, more development, just more in general.
Season one moral complexity: cycle of violence, ideology, moral issue of life-based magic Season two: ok the dragons actually are invading unprompted, the elves and dragons might be infighting, the other kingdoms are ruled by feckless cowards, and it's been proven humans can learn magic
@@Indeside We start to see more of why Dark Magic is seen as taboo by the elves, and even why humans tread lightly around it. We also learn just how justified the Evil Vizir's hate is, but also how twisted his goals are becoming by that hate, neither of which is seen in S1. For a starter.
@@Darkgun231 it was a huge revelation of the nuance of his character to me when the interrogation scene with the chief Moon Elf happened, because 1: we learn that essentially they are a suicide cult, indoctrinated to consider themselves already dead if captured 2: How do you punish someone striving to die? Force them to live 3: that coin purse is not empty. How many assassins have the elves sent over the years, among whom only a few may be captured?
Eh. Season 2 had good and bad moments. The flashback makes zero sense unless the Evil Vizir is lying through his teeth to look good in front of the other leaders. He'd never do something so dumb, "selfless" and completely counterproductive. I also found the whole "Empathy for the angry dragon burning down cities" was brushed off waaay too easily. While of course the main trio's purpose is to stop the war and the cycle of vengeance and find a peaceful resolution, that wasn't a situation that should have gone down that easily. There should have been at least a smidge of conflict between the kids and Miss Scottish Elf, instead they just assume the dragon is right and help him/her! No matter what kind of justification one can come up with, the damn thing just burned down innocent people for funzies, they have no way to know the context of the matter and to be frank neither do we. Even from our perspective, the dragon comes off as pretty violent and douchy. I really hope the next season can patch up the wobbly bits.
I like it but I'm not really a fan on how they building the magic father(forget his name) on being the only bad guy and making basically all other kingdoms just meh about the hundreds of years of fighting the elves
@@TheBiggestMoneyBoy also just kinda glossing over the dragons/elves trails of tearing all of humanity for the crimes of a very select few. And the Dragon king would just kinda kill any human that tried to cross into elven lands no mercy its not like the elves looked down on/oppressed humanity or anything o/
@@TheBiggestMoneyBoy This is being written/directed by the same guys behind Avatar: The Last Airbender, yeah? I really wouldn't worry that much about the characters and situation gaining more nuance as the show unfolds.
They tried lowering the frame rate to mimic hand-drawn animation, but with hand-drawn animation, you can distort the image in the between-frames to make it look more fluid than it really is. It's much harder to do that with CGI. What's an easy way around this? Just render more frames! I don't know why they didn't realize this.
@@JohnEusebioToronto Bla bla bla "artistic vision" bla bla bla. Bunch of artists that have never played a modern video game at 144hz or 240hz in their life. Like seriously, they need to play DOOM at 240hz and realize just how wrong they are. Because watching this show at 60fps would be amazing. Watching it at 5fps like it was rendered in real time on a laptop with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics on single channel ram... sucks! The first episode is suppose to draw people in with over the top quality, I've seen Power Point Presentations more fluid than that!
@@SairinEarthsea it's done in the same style as their Dragon Ball Kai Abridged shorts where they very briefly summed up an entire season in about 5 minutes
This might sound sarcastic but I'm glad you're able to sell out and get sponsorships. That mean the future for tfs is stronger and I wish you all the best
BlankPicketSign agreed. I don’t see how it could b any more tasteful. All joking aside, just realized that the things covering her sensitive bits r those jelly-filled pastries Ezran is obsessed with
@@balrog0444 When you say "weird frame rate", do you mean it is one of those 10fps CG "animated" slide shows that look like it was rendered in real time on a laptop with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics?
DUDE, these voice impressions ARE SO GOOD. Seriously, SO GOOD. Also yes, Viren and Harrow definitely banged. That 'on your knees' line?? STILL gives me shivers....
The fact that Rayla was the only one taking these seriously worked *really* well with the fact that her voice actor sounded exactly like the original. It was like the original character was just trapped with an entire parody cast
I think this implies that the channel thought callum was the dragon prince FOR HALF THE SEASON and then he found out HE WASNT so he got mad and mocked it at this abridged
This show is making me feel weird feelings. Is.. Is this what it's like for other people when a regular character has your name? This... I've never felt like this before! I hate it! I love it!
