THE END
@@Veeveebear This is too accurate, but you forgot: Edgy goth girl goes squid mode and gets hentai'd.
The entire situation at Lux Aurea just felt so... manufactured. The group knows they need to leave before sundown or suffer known dire consequences. Amaya knows how bad this could get, she would do anything to protect Callum, and she has the capability to pick him up and drag him out if need be. Despite all of that, she allows the group to stay too late so that Callum could leaf through books to try to find info on how to save Rayla's parents, something that even Rayla admits is not time sensitive and could wait. Callum doesn't think to just grab a pile of potentially useful books to go, or promise to come back again when they can to find the info. Callum seems to forget how books work and never even considers that he could take one with him, the lemur has to rip the page out to get him to leave. Callum, a very bookish person, forgets that he can take a book from a LIBRARY. This whole scenario relies on every character in the group making absolutely nonsensical decisions. Callum has to hold the idiot ball, Amaya has to allow Callum's life to be endangered when it was fully within her power to force him to leave. If anyone in the group had been operating at their normal mental capacity the group would have never stayed past sundown.
shit like this has me scowling at the fact that callum and sokka share the same VA, couldn't some of sokkas sense translate over into post s3 callum
There's also the fact that 1.) Stella who can take the book with them and 2.) Callum has a photographic memory - he can remember what book it is, leave, and come back when it's bright out???
Literally there was never an understanding that they couldn’t come back in the morning at the very least
or... they could come back again the next day!
@@alexhco Yeah, thats what I thought when I saw it.
Im so tired of these minion like animal characters being introduced and then accomplishing nothing. There are plenty of times where stella could have done something to help. Like why didnt stella teleport a key/ something to remove the restraints on the boat sooner? Why didnt bait attempt to blind the captain BEFORE he was put into the cage? If your gonna have animal minions make them interesting smh. Especially Stella because she has hands to properly grab sh*t
I actually really dislike how Callum handles Rayla stealing the key from him. I'm glad he didn't blow up on her, but I think he veered past maturely handling the situation and into "Rayla can do no wrong she must have a reason for whatever she did even if it looks bad to me" territory. Because actually, Rayla did do something stupid and needlessly deceptive and she and Callum need to actually talk about that and not just hand waive it. I feel like this unconditional forgiveness is just another side of the coin to how Callum ignored Rayla all last season: both routes mean he doesn't have to actually talk about it when Rayla does something that bothers him. This new strategy just allows them to get back together without having to talk about it rather than being isolated and miserable while not talking about it. Ugh, I don't really understand why this ship is still popular. I liked them in season 3, and I don't think the relationship is unsalvageable, but this is not a remotely healthy relationship right now and it feels like the show is trying to depict it as one. I'm never going to be comfortable with this relationship until these two actually talk about Rayla's two year ghosting of Callum and how much that clearly hurt him, and at this point I'm not convinced the show will ever do that. Seems like they just want to get them back together while burying the past.
These are some good points. I also had the same issues on how the situation was handled.
Call me crazy, but I think it was typical Netflix meddling. Their relationship was wholesome, based on trust and mutual respect (like Aang and Katara, it's a strong suit of Aaron and his wife's writing). But Netflix doesn't want wholesome. Netflix doesn't want trust and respect. Netflix wants drama, and for female characters to screw over male character in some messed up social political message for men to suck it up and accept it. Anything short of that is deemed ''insecure'' and creates a whole arc for that guy to figure out he was the problem. It isn't just Netflix doing it. Netflix did it with Castlevania (Trevor and Sypha), Amazon did it with The Boys (Hughie and Starlight) as well as with Invincible (Mark with Amber, Rex with every girl he's with), hell Insomniac did it with their Spider-Man 2 game (Peter with MJ). Basically you can see it in a ton of fictional products lately. And while Rayla and Callum definitely didn't start like that, they have devolved into it.
Like, right after they professed their love for each other, Rayla just ditches? And then Callum's just supposed to accept that? And then they make his entire S5 arc about just learning to accept literally anything she does? It makes no sense, and as you say; it really isn't healthy. Respect and trust is great, but it has to be earned. Callum trusting Rayla if they were in their S3 arc would be understandable, but him trusting her after the shit she pulled in S4 is the opposite of logical. They just turned him into a simp. I hate it. He used to have the right balance of respect for her, and respect for himself.
You said it better than I can
I think the writers of the show have a favorite and it's obviously Rayla because as you said, "she can do no wrong" in their point of view
@@TheStraightestWhitestYou're right about all of this. Also, considering how Ezran acted in season 4, I think Callum felt peer pressured into forgiving Rayla. Even if Ezran didn't mean to
My least favourite part in the story is the tone. The sun elves are getting murdered and screaming behind doors, then it just shifts to the main cast talking about glow toads and giving them names.
It just feels kinda *off*
I WONDER WHY
omg you are soo right! I call it tonal whiplash and it was awful all throughout S5. What is the point of having a more mature storyline with huge stakes and vengeful elves when every other scene is filled with cringeworthy, childish jokes? Personally, while I think the ocean elf, Finnegran was intriguing at first, I really hate that Ezran made it seem like he had a weapon of mass destruction only for it to be baby glow worms. I don't know if this was meant to be a joke, but it felt like an awful joke the way Ezran said something about him possessing something he shouldn't have.
Also....have they EVER brought up how Rayla is a super powerful and deadly moon shadow elf EVER again since s1????? She turned into her cool form ONE time and then they NEVER did ANYTHING with it-?
Right?!?!! This is my biggest frustration. How has she not been using those powers since with all the threats they've encountered? Don't get it.
I've found that it's a running trend in TDP in introduce things and then forget about them later. For example, in S1 it was EXTREMELY CONVENIENT that they had the Primal Stone of Wind to save the Prince from dying and letting him hatch. So why aren't there any other Primal Stones? Surely they weren't introduced so the group could have one that could solve a problem for them and then be forgotten right?
Avatar was one of the greatest shows of all time due to how the story was planned. Nothing is wasted. If something is shown, it's because it'll come up later, even as a small detail. Sometimes when I rewatch Avatar, I'll notice something in Book 1 that alludes to Book 3. The world is so nicely woven together that it feels authentic.
The Dragon Prince actually did this well in the first 3 books! It wasn't Avatar level writing, but who really expected that. It was still very good. I also really appreciated how Dragon Prince actually had stakes. In a lot of media aimed towards kids nowadays nothing matters. Dragon Prince actually had stakes. People died, or were seriously injured. Relationships were harmed by the actions of those in those relationships. It felt genuine.
When season 4 came out, they lost ALL these good features. It got too preachy and once I figured out nothing was at stake I got bored. I watched about 2 episodes of this season but when I realized the story wasn't fixed, I tuned out.
Season 4 threw the show off balance, but it was salvageable. But from the sounds of it, the show didn't recover. And it's a shame because it had GREAT potential.
I've always had some complaints about The Dragon Prince, but not really any more than any other show. It took a few seasons to warm up to it but by the end of S3 I felt like the show had really arrived, like it had proved it could do a lot of what it promised (big, high stakes fantasy story with interesting characters and exciting action) and was ready to start delivering on its potential.
Season 4 somehow reversed all of that momentum. Action replaced by speeches, bad guys defanged, character relationships purposefully broken up.
Season 5 is definitely better, and I'd always encourage people to come to their own conclusions, but I'd be lying if I said I thought the show had fully recovered.
@@VogJamagreed hopefully with the next book things will be repaired If only slightly but progress is rarely ever linear they will be ups and downs as long as it improves overall I am happy
To me the red flags were visible in season 1 already
I'm impressed that you were willing to make an entire!!!
except great divide, nothing there was returning.
You know honestly
It might have been more interesting to not see Zubea get cured. Like I'm pretty sure a zombie arch-dragon would be some pretty damn high stakes for next season.
Its too late at night for me to really think about how a zombie dragon could be used here, but I feel like you don't have to be a genius to figure out something
yeah, i mean -aaravos wasnt lying about her being "ravashing" >:3 but since the show went to shit, we might as well sacrifice her for the sake of the story
Even Aaravos stated that claudia shoud be FAR more powerfull than them and she still lost in a boring way
I'm actually surprised that the sea which guards Aaravos' prison wasn't guarded by something. You'd think that if not the Archdragon of the Sea then at least some sort of sea guardian would be in charge of protecting that place from any intruders.
@@xDinomanx Imagine a sea beast like the one that nearly killed the quartet in the earlier seasons once it smelled Bait. It'd be terrifying. And it absolutely should have had a guardian like that, if only because sea monsters are terrifying.
Either Terry is a useless part of the story, is the forced in key to her redemption arc or, in my theory, Terry is an Aaravos puppet that is manipulating Claudia in order to keep her from giving up and giving her the hope to keep going on. That's why he never really tries to stop her from going after her evil plans and keeps elements in play he can use later.
I might be giving the writers too much credit with that last one and it's probably the first option.
I think you are reading to much into it, I think Terry is basically just a simp copy of Callum.
Atleast Callum has a personality and has matured but Terry doesn’t even have a own personality and is one of the useless characters in the series. He ruined Claudia’s story. Claudia was supposed to be like Azula evil and badass and now she’s just weird and cringe. He’s unimportant.
@@Melis-dz8ey I strongly agree. Terry came outta nowhere and added nothing to the plot. He was padding. Pure padding. Because from S4 to S6, basically nothing has changed. There's been no progress on the goals of either the protagonists or antagonists.
I think Terry will be killed of to drive claudia over the edge
Also that Terry being trans added nothing to the plot. It could of been used as an explanation of why Terry is working "with the baddies" to help fully transition to male by magic.
I tapped-out at the needless heroic sacrifice in the library, which was then immediately rendered pointless by the pursuit of an alternative plan anyway - so it all just happened as a way for us to get a zombie-dragon...just lost faith in the writing at that point and stopped caring about what was going to happen, haha. Won't be coming back to watch season 6...
I think I'm in for the long haul but I can't blame anyone dropping the show at this stage.
Especially after 2 seasons where it feels like so little has happened. I don't like the idea of burning an entire season on set-up but that's what season 4 ultimately was. So if season 5 is supposed to be the pay off... It just doesn't seem worth it.
"So they could have a zombie dragon" Boy do I have something to tell you that'll disappoint you...
The ending shot of episode 8 made me irrationally mad. The Jailor placing Aarovos' prison in a place called "The Sea of the Outcast" is kindof on the nose already but why, oh why is there a GIANT CARVING OF AAROVOS AT ITS ENTRANCE!? Who put that there? I cant imagine the carving was already there before the prison was put there so was it carved there afterwards? why? and by who? The location of the prison was supposed to be of utmost secrecy, to the point of death if you knew, the only person who was supposed to know was The Jailor right? Did the Jailor make that carving? Why? Just couldn't help but leave a giant clue or something? It just takes it from being an innocuous location to being literally the first place you'd look. This wouldn't be so bad if it were somewhere so obscure that it didn't have a name, or no one knew where it was, or how to get there, but its named and on the maps, people go there, maybe not often but often enough to name and know how to get there.
Now I'm no mage or prison architect or anything but if I wanted to hide away histories greatest monster I would not want it anywhere near a mountain sized statue of them. I get that its a wonderful shot visually and artistically but narritivly it makes my brain hurt.
Nobody figured out that the most infamous "castout" was in a place called The Sea of the "Outcast".
I've only just finished episode 2 but I must say the show really has a problem with having too many characters to focus on. It wouldn't be so bad if the scenes were longer and weren't split up so much, but as it is now Callum is making a dumb joke one moment and then viran (or however it's spelled) is having some dark nightmare the next. I'm getting a lot of tonal whiplash that could be solved by simply having an episode separated into segments per character group instead of jankily switching between them every 2 minutes.
Also, is it just me or is the character animation more lifeless this season? I feel like in the past the shows choppy animation style could work in it's favor, but now it feels like it's trying to cut corners. It might be just me, but the characters seem a lot more stiff nowadays
TDP's has been suffering from having a bloated cast for a long time now, which is why I don't get why they're still bothering with characters like Karim.
There's only 9 episodes per season, that time could be better spent on Viren/Claudia so that they didn't spend 2 seasons lost in the forest and having nightmares as a substitute for actual character development.
And yeah, I didn't touch too much on the animation/look of the show but it's definitely something other people have pointed out. Especially the lighting in some scenes looks really flat and weird.
I was tracking how many cuts there are in TDP's 4th and 5th season and each episode has on average 14 cuts. That's a lot of fucking cuts for a 25 minute episodes.
i love this show to bits but oh my god, my disappointment is palpable. the earlier seasons’ clear objective of get the dragon prince to xadia made it feel more grounded in a way. now i feel like i’m watching a bunch of disjointed events. The Finnegrin thing was fun! but why! what does that have to do with anything 😭
and this one is just nitpicking but what’s with the animals, i stopped caring after Zym and despite being the titular character, he’s not a character anymore like he can leave now
i did like that callum used dark magic again, i want to know how they get around that and hope they get into the moral grey-ness and nuance that can be found in the lore of dark magic
Man, I don't even know what they're thinking with the mascot animals... I always felt bad for Bait because it Ezran basically forgets him during the show and Callum just kind of half adopts him out of necessity, but now it feels like the story's forgotten about Zym too. Sure, he's there, he's in scenes, but nobody ever acknowledges him. And then Stellar's in the same boat after only 2 seasons, just basically a background prop.
You're right about the show feeling like disjointed events, that's seriously such a great way of putting it. It's a weird feeling when a story feels arbitrary, like you're watching a sequence that technically forms a narrative, but nothing happening feels any more or less consequential than anything else.
@@VogJam honestly! i was rather obsessed with ezran’s relationship to bait and zym (and i’ll admit, the cuteness factor of it as well!), i don’t remember hearing him talk to a single animal in 4 or 5, like that whole thing is just no longer a thing despite the multitude of mascots now
"Callum can be tempted back into doing dark magic." I feel like given the choice between dying and allowing most of his friends and family to be killed or using a piece of octopus tentacle to turn some chains into snakes at a marginal cost to his... idk, soul, life force? It's hard to even call that falling to temptation. He basically had a gun to his and all of his friend's heads. Ugh, sorry for the repeated comments, but this show has just gone in such a wild direction and I am baffled by so many of its writing decisions. It's been such a strange turn. Season 1-3 aren't perfect, but I do like them for the most part.
Other thoughts: Why does the dragon tailing Claudia not report back to Zubeia/the other dragons at any point, either as soon as they spot the group or after losing the fight? Is one of those giant statues at the secret location of Aaravos's prison Aaravos? Because if it is... that really does not seem like a great way to keep a secret. We still don't fully understand why Dark Magic is even evil. Why is Callum using a calamari popper to turn some chains into snakes such an evil act, especially when it hurt no one and allowed him to save other people. It's not like people in the world don't kill and eat animals for food, so why is it different using a piece of one for a spell? We need an actual explanation for why dark magic is bad, and at this point it feels like we'll never get one. If Claudia and Co. had no idea what Aaravos's prison was, literally the only way she could have found it was Callum and Co. having traveled there to stop her, meaning that they endangered it more by looking for it than if they had just focused on tracking down Claudia via dragon sweeps over the continent.
Finally, I'm tired of hearing about how "it's better than season 4" and "it's setup." Season 4 was terrible, and season 5 being better than terrible but still not good is not a complement. And if season 5 of this show is STILL setup then I don't think we're ever going to see what payoff looks like.
Yeah
They kept saying Dark magic is "super evil" and all but they don't do much in convincing me or you or others in the fandom that it is always evil. Plus, nobody is proven to be a vegan in the Dragon Prince universe so yeah, what are they complaining about?
As a writer myself I 100% agree. If your audience is asking questions about the story then you did something wrong. I expected Claudia to lose her dad and go full blown evil and win in the end making the stakes extremely high because now we have aaravos and Claudia lose on the world. But know everything is perfectly fine and nothing was done this season. My opinion is the story is there but is filled with dumb side quests and dumb characters to fill time.
We needed Arravos to have at least 2-3 seasons of horrible acts before he is defeated, not till the last season to be released and then defeated. So frustrating
@@LordFlames As a fellow writer, I so agree with this. I think S5 should've ended with Aaravos being set free. Not only would that have been great setup for S6 which was missing from this finale, but it would've also actually given him time to show us why everything banked on his imprisonment. If he is only unleashed by S7, AKA the finale, he will not get enough time to shine, especially among such a bloated cast. This guy is their Thanos. He's been teased from the beginning. His influence is everywhere. They can't release him and then defeat him in the same season. That'd be like Thanos only showing up at the back end of Age of Ultron instead of having two films dedicated to him, and literally going down within the first 20 minutes of his appearance. It will be seven years of setup with literally zero payoff. A total flop.
Payoffs where there were no prior setups are frustrating, but nowhere near as frustrating as lacklustre payoffs to endless satisfactory setup. A bad payoff can literally break a product. The finale to Game of Thrones showcases this better than anything. It made the at the time highest rated and most watched TV series of all time be considered not even worthy of a rewatch by 92% of over 2M voters when asked. Now that's bad. It wasn't even imagined to be possible considering how lauded the first four seasons were. And yet it happened, and I got the sneaky feeling TDP is heading the same direction. S4 already destroyed much of what made S1-S3 enjoyable.
I'm starting to think that the series was originally meant to last three seasons, and the thing became so successful that they decided to stretch it to seven, but as they ran out of story they started making up stuff.
I'm kinda heartbroken. Not like sh*tting and crying, but I got SO invested in this show during season 1-3. Like man, I'm a BIG shipper once a pair hooks me and Rayllum had me squealing in my seat.. now they don't. Season 4 ruined them for me completely. And all the characters are just off idk, maybe cause the animation is making them way less expressive than they used to be. And I pretty much agree with all your points. Just makes me so sad cause I loved this show and I don't believe it can pick itself back up after these disasters of seasons. It's rare that I get hooked on a show, even popular ones. :/ Feels like losing a sentimental item.
The Lux Aurea plotline, I think, could be more compelling as a main plotline because it feels more natural as a sequel to the first three seasons. You have the elves who were forced to flee their homes and have to recover from that while at the same time living alongside what are essentially human colonists. Neither side really trusts or understands the other... But I guess that has to be relegated to the c-tier plot, lest it feel too reminiscent of real life stuff. 100% a story that can be told but it needs the right person to tell it.
That aside. I think the storyline following Zubeia carries more emotional weight, especially after her hallucination scene where she says she wants to give up on life to be with Avizandum again. It gave me real feels and I would like to see that explored more in seasons 6 and 7, whether it would be better for her to free herself of grief and join her husband or if it would be better for Zym's sake that she doesn't. Her interactions with Soren are bittersweet, too, because of how they are genuinely good with each other but the fact of who his father is would always be a reminder of what she has lost.
I would've loved to have seen more of this too. Her in deep conflict, trying not to fall to corruption and slowly the corruption overtaking her. But no, Mr. Mushroom mage heals her. This should've had better pay off.
Man, I just don't care bout the Amaya subplot. It takes up so much time. The relationship is forced, it feels like it was meant to tick some representation boxes, and it skipped completely past the most interesting part: how Amaya and that elf queen got together. A relationship like that needs to be developed, especially because they were literally at war with each other a few seasons back. They needed to take a few steps back, have the forbidden romance subplot be the trigger for the political turmoil. Sets up some really interesting conflict.
The Rayla/Callum relationship, and Virren's family, really keep me invested in the show. If I were the show runners, I would've cut the Amaya arc to just an episode, used the extra time to cover events around Xadia, set up the players around the continent and give Aaravos some surface area to do his manipulations, and focused more on the political intrigues and divisions between the dragons. I would have given Rayla a more compelling reason to have left Callum.
I'm guessing the hook is meant to be
- what's gonna happen to the dragon queen and the mushroom guy
- a sun elf civil war.
- Sol Reg will regain his eyes and challenge the queen.
Except all of these are side plots and they forgot to setup a main one
Personally, I liked season five. Though the beginning was clunky, I liked the Finnegran arc a lot. Finnegran is (in my opinion) the best villain the show has ever had, especially concerning how little time he did have. Seeing Callum actually get tortured by him was surprisingly dark and I like that it's finally getting that more intense tone the creators promised after season three. I also really liked the scene in which everyone refuses to give each other up, and then Finnegran just turns it around by pointing out how Callum could easily use dark magic to free them. It's good setup for Callum's moment of using it later, and I like how Finnegran is able to play against Callum's philosophy. And of course, the final panning away shot revealing that Callum did give in and use dark magic again felt really impactful and it gave the entire arc actual importance in the wider story.
I also liked the sun elf stuff this time around. Not the actual stuff happening, that was boring, but the introduction of the vampire elf was really cool. I thought she, along with Finnegran, was one of the best villains the show had to offer, and the scene of her attempting to steal the sun seed REALLY felt like they were leaning into the darkness, which I appreciate. Seeing her cut down soldiers mercilessly felt like payoff for the tone shift that was promised, and didn't really happen.
I felt like this season was way better than season 4, but it still was a little disappointing. I think the way they handled the Sunfire Elves plot was way better. But I wish Aaravos was in it for more than (literally) 1 scene. And that scene wasn't even that good in my opinion...
His scene in Season 4 where he takes control of Callum and then breaks the mirror was awesome. I loved it, and I feel it did a great job of adding to Aaravos's threat, but his (again, only) scene in Season 5 was just an info dump about how viren's gonna die unless he sacrifices the butterfly thing. And I also felt a little weird about the "OUR child" thing.
The Scumport part was really fun and I loved Finnegrin as a character, except for how Ezran puts everyone's life in danger for the show's newest cute animal mascots and nobody calls him out for it.
Overall, I'd probably give it a 6/10. Definitely better than Season 4, but Aaravos should've gotten more screentime.
It is kinda dumb that Ezran wasn't called out for his dumb actions and behaviors
Almost as if he's not allowed to improve
Teaser for season 6 dropped and it looks promising so far but we didn’t get much though. Season 5 was a step in the right direction and I’m hoping season 6 fixes the majority of what’s left to fix
I'm really hoping season 5 ties up a lot of loose ends and has more focus on the main plot. That way, by the end there is a set goal and only one or two ends that need tied up that can be resolved in depth in a big build up to the final fight in season 7. I also hope that the Rayllum plot makes a lot of progress, getting a significant part of an episode or maybe even an episode of its own towards the end of season 6 or beginning of season 7. Just something where they have a deep conversation where Rayla apologizes for walking out and they finally realize (again) how important they are to each other, making them both stronger for the final fight.
TDP has honestly been treading water since the very first season and with how slow the paper-thin plot has been moving across all 5 seasons, considering how much time they've wasted in 2 out of their 4 remaining seasons I don't know how they're gonna end this without it feeling incredibly rushed and unsatisfying.
This. There's only 2 seasons left, and there's three plotlines of drama unrelated to Aaravos that have yet to be resolved (Rayllum, Sun Elves and Humans beefing, and the Prince guy trying to claim his sister's throne using Sol Regem). That's enough content for literally a season or more, especially at the filler pace we're getting. S4 and S5 literally resolved less than a single plotline meanwhile.
That is extremely bad news for S6 and especially S7. It means every single one of those plotlines is going to have a trash and rushed conclusion. It's inevitable. Because they are forgetting that we still have AARAVOS, the big bad, while we only have two seasons left. You can't set him up for seven seasons but then have him get beat the same season he finally leaves his damn cage. He should have been out already by the finale of S4 or S5 at the latest. If he doesn't get out and already gets time to wreak havoc during early S6, this show is dead. It will have literally been all buildup without payoff.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I'm starting to think Aaravos may not actually leave his cage in the last two seasons. Part of me thinks they'll pull a switcheroo and continue Claudia's sloppily written decent into villainy by making her the big bad instead.
@@Grf1556 If they pull a fast one with Aaravos, the entire integrity of the show is ruined.
I thought avatar was the best show that I have seen. but when I saw Dragon Prince the season 1-2 I loved but when I saw season 4 I kinda lost interest and most of Dragon Prince did not ever make me laugh .
Yeah, the comedy of the show has always been pretty weak, but the rest of the writing has definite;y dropped off a lot as well these last 2 seasons. It's a shame to see it not reach its potential.
I am lament to agree however I still like the series and I hold hope for the next seasons where it lacks in comedy it makes up with wonderful lands and sights like a mix of avatar and toklen's Lord of rings
I enjoyed this recap/review of S5. Congrats for getting through most of it without comparing it to AtLA. I genuinley thought after Terry had committed his first murder, he would grow a personality or something. I guess not. Your comment about "moth boy" being sired by two guys and what it does for LGBT representation kinda made me chuckle. I really wonder if they thought that through. I think I might be one of a few people who hates S5 more than S4. It's honestly just super frustrating for me, especially because of the tonal whiplash. So many dark, creepy things are happening and they're all joking about glow toads or something. The whole thing about Finnegran's island being filled with some of Xadia's most dangerous people was completely undercut by all the humour. There are defo some things I didn't notice when I watched it, like Terry dissappearing when Viren was talking to Aaravos, or Zubeia not helping General Amaya at the library. So, thanks for the insight. I'll probably keep watching because I'm already 5 seasons deep, what's another 2?
I had multiple elements annoy me this season.
First the passing in each episode, and then I mean mainly the jumping between the different storylines. Sometime you’d get 2 lines and they’d jump to the next story already? And worse when they would jump back and forth between two story lines, only showing 2 min or less at a time. I feel like they were trying to build tension but a lot of it is never picked up on again and it felt very weird and empty.
And secondly the weird disassociation between event. Like we just heard in the library what one scratch can do, then the mother dragon is clearly attacked, but nobody ever mentions the ramifications of it at all, only Sorren shortly shows concern but even then when she is supposed to pick them up at sunset and she doesn’t show up they don’t discuss it or even show concern that she never showed up
They just go on their merry way?
Also why did Ezra&co suddenly show up at the library? How did they know they were there at all? Why do they never go to Janai to tell her about their aunt?
It felt so empty of emotions, so empty of consequences. It was just super odd to me
And I completely agree about Claudia’s storyline, she doesn’t really do anything until the last episode nor does her character grow or develop
Virren’s dreams were alright but then him entering a second coma? When already nothing was happening in their group was so weird and unfulfilling
It feels like they have too many characters that don’t do anything
Zym doesn’t do anything, not even show any emotion for his mom. Sorren is just there most of the time. And now they added three small versions of Bait?
They already have too many characters that don’t do anything??
Okay rant over sorry guys
For a show trying to be a spiritual succesor to avatar, the world building falls flat, the conflict is more straightforward than claiming to be nuanced, and a severe lack of character focus/struggle in relation to the world they are in.
Avatar was such a great series. The story and even the non benders had good written story‘s and scenes. Even the side characters were written perfectly or the villains. The only thing I loved in the TDP is the main straight couple Rayllum. The plot and characters are to weak and slow I don’t care about anything else in the show besides Rayllum. Sadly the series is not good enough like Avatar.
As a writer myself I 100% agree. If your audience is asking questions about the story then you did something wrong. I expected Claudia to lose her dad and go full blown evil and win in the end making the stakes extremely high because now we have aaravos and Claudia lose on the world. But no everything is perfectly fine and nothing was done this season. And F TERRY HE IS THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN THIS WORLD he is only there for plot and unfunny humor.
We needed Arravos to have at least 2-3 seasons of horrible acts before he is defeated, not till the last season to be released and then defeated. So frustrating, and this is either lazy writing or what I think is someone else is influencing the story because it was a hit. Just like 80% of all movies and shows…
You pretty much summed up my thoughts about this season exactly. Strong start, compelling episode 8, but ultimately the show wasn't able to outwrite the issues it's been incubating for 4 seasons now.
Definitely. It feels like the show's taken so many steps backwards that this season having 1 step in the right direction just doesn't cover it at this point.
Season 4 & 5 were 18 episodes and it barely feels like any progress has been made and yet there's (presumably) only 18 episodes of the series left...
I have a feeling this series might be going down the path of Voltron Legendary defender. Where it peaked in the earlier seasons, but is dropping in quality with ever new season while season 5 is a step up from 4 I can’t help but be concerned about this shows future. I hope I’m wrong I don’t want to be right about this feeling.
It brought it to a new stage where people keep debating of the series is actually still good or not. Basically it’s currently on the pathway of Voltron.
Dragon Prince was an enjoyable and charming animated series that, sadly, only lasted three seasons. There were rumors that there were plans to have it run longer, but I choose not to believe them due to lack of evidence.
I really love the idea of the sword to kill Aaravos, imagine the desprate battle with Aaravos, Claudia and Callum being half possesed by Aaravos and half escaping Aaravos's control because of the love of his friends vs king Ezran with his creatures, Soren with the sword trying to persuade his sister and kill Aaravos, and Rayla fighting and trying to shake Callum out of his trance. Aaravos doing insane magic and halfway through, Viren truly switches sides and joins the gang and Soren trying to take down Aaravos and trying to persuade his daughter to not follow in his footsteps and die because of Aaravos and dark magic.
Regardless of your use of the word "irregardless", I think you nailed it. Excellent analysis especially on why it fell flat at the end.
... I think I've listened to that line 4-5 times in edit and never clocked that. WHOOPSIE
I liked it a little more than you did, even though I largely agree with your criticisms. I really loved Viren's arc this season even though you totally nailed it by pointing out how dumb it was for him to wake up and then arbitrarily still be in a coma. I think they did a really good job of portraying a compelling and believable redemption for him, and I loved the themes of that sequence. I really hope he isn't dead as he's quickly become one of my favorite parts of the show.
The only thing that keeps me engage is Callum's character, and Araavos. literally 😂
I don't really care about anything else but seeing Callum became corrupted or something. And Araavos being Free. The Finegans little Ark was the only one that felt interesting and felt had some level of tension. And it was mostly about Callum and him using Dark Magic again.
But even though I say that. What also keeps me engage is that I can see and feel the potential Dragon Prince has. It had everything to be as Iconic as Avatar. But is like everything is Half-Baked, something has always been missing stopping it to be as great as it could, and I don't know what that is. It annoys me because, repeating myself, I see the potential!
I thought season 5 was loads better than season 4. Certain aspects of the storytelling really do still frustrate me though. I feel like the main events of season 4 and 5 could have happened over the course of one 13-episode season rather than two 9-episode ones. The creators clearly HAVE a direction, but they're spending too much time on side stuff that doesn't really matter rather than just... getting on with it. While it was entertaining, the group drawing the attention of Finnegrin by stealing his glow toads was completely contrived, and because Finnegrin is now presumably dead, it makes it seem like his existence was pretty much meaningless. They could have found another way to write Callum being forced to use dark magic so that it was actually relevant to the larger story.
To be fair, I think there were pacing issues in the first three seasons as well, but the character arcs were more effective. I'm worried though that like season 3, season 7 is going to be too jam-packed to explore all its ideas effectively because the preceding seasons meandered too much.
It fixed Viren. That's good enough for me
As for Rayllum? I plead the Fifth
Does anyone actually understand the scale and geography of the world. Cause sometimes im not sure how long and how far locations are. I dont know if we are supposed to refer to the map or is the show just conveys it poorly
I believe that most of the problems mentioned at the end of this video is due to the short amount of time that the writers were given to tell this story. 7 seasons sound nice, right? But not nice enough to justify 9 episodes with each having a duration of around 25 mins. I firmly believe that The Dragon Prince should have been given A LOT more time to properly tell each characters story.
I’m not gonna lie, Terry is really nice and really cute but I am damn sure he’s just that so that when Claudia inevitably kills him it makes the audience sad
I think I will cheer.
Terry encapsulates the problem with post S3 of the show. Jokes that don't land and padding to draw out the runtime.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I agree. He also doesn't make any sense as Claudia's bf, given that she hates elves. And considering how kind he seems, I don't understand why he gravitates to her. Their relationship makes no sense.
I know this is late but do you think you could make a video on your review on season 6 trailer?
Credit where credit’s due, season 5 has its good points, the finagrin side quest was done prettywell (although being an additional subplot in a series with too many) with good character development, started off pretty well and fixed a few issues with season 4.
However, it also has so many points where it just doesn’t work.
My first major gripe is the library episode. The season went through so many episodes to set up this library and the necessity to find a way to kill a star touched elf. The episode does get us knowledge of this mcguffin sword, the thing that can return rayla’s parents and provide points of tension in zubeia getting corrupted and Amaya and Korvus getting trapped. There’s episode itself is fine but the most aggravating part is that nothing from this episode get used. The sword is brought up once and then forgotten, Zubeia gets magically healed at the very end and Amaya and Korvus return unharmed. The only inportant contribution to the plot this episode make is forcing the group to meet Finegrin and to maybe not have Amaya around when her fiance is captured. Hopefully the knowing of the sword is setup for a future season but i wouldn’t count on it seeing as the key to aaravos in season 1 still hasn't been brought up.
Some of the animation is a bit wierd as well like the static zubeia shadow that just enlarged and the screenshots in Viren’s first comma (these were mostly just funny)
The ending was very anticlimactic. The fight was anticlimactic and i felt like the way it tied everything up was not really effective.
I really hope season six is better but at this point i just hope it’s not worse.
I gotta say, the one of the only things keeps me wanting season 6 and 7 is rayllum😂
I thought season 5 was better than season 4, but i wish we would get more of the ocean villian. I mean just when it became boring, we got something interesting in him. But they just killed him when we had still so much questions. Why was he so fixed on getting control? While his whole life and power is over letting control go. That torture power is awesome, but what is the reason he needs it? I understand that he wants to revenge his beloved pet, who is killed. Its always painful to lose your friend, but do you need to torture your own man? I feel like he has so much more dept. Maybe not enough for a whole season, but I think you would get at least 2 a 3 more episodes with him filled and it would be more interesting than season 4.
20:21 I really don't understand why the prison has to be in such a conspicuous location. I mean, have arrows pointing at it, would you?
Octopods don’t have gills on their necks like fish they really should have given Claudia the little tube things they actually breathe through
If I am being honest, season 5 was not as good as the previous seasons. Hope they pull a trick shot on season 6.
I also think season 5 is better than season 4 but still not as good as the previous ones. However, I look more positively at the next seasons than you. The creators came up with the stupid idea of going 2 years ahead without changing anything (because you had to wait 2 years for the 4th season, which is now some stupid norm with the creators that hiatus in real life must coincide with hiatus in the history of the story) and now everything what should happen in these 2 years is happening and now at once, that's why many characters are waiting in limbo until they are important. It's annoying but after this season I have a reasonable idea of where it's going and I like it enough to want to wait for it. Before Aravos is released, the dragon queen will die and the sun dragon will regain his sight and Xadia's civil war for the "dragon throne" will begin between him and Ozymandias, and Aravoss will prey on this and form a team of his mages consisting of, among others, the brother of the queen of sun elves, this pirate who was eaten by a sea creature (he definitely survived) and Nadia. Ideaw has more where this is going, but it's more fanfiction than guessing based on what happened in the series.
The first three seasons were quite good. Seasons 4 and 5 were rather middle class to bad.
In general, I don't like when conflicts only consist of characters being too stupid to use their powers or not being able to think logically.
For this series being called "The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos", we see very little of Dragon Prince or Aaravos. They introduce the new animal character Stella with her portal magic, but then Stella only uses her portal magic 3 times or so. Although, there would have been much more opportunity to use this ability. I would have rather seen Zym become a proper main character and part of the hero group. But the dragon prince is basically just a big blue dog with wings who can't even fly. That's what always bothers me about all dragon stories, that dragons are just reduced to exotic animals and not as main characters.
We also see very little of Aaravos in the two seasons. For being the big brilliant villain, he's achieved virtually nothing. I also didn't understand the whole Aaravos prison being divided between the archdragons. Basically, you only need one piece of this secret to find the prison. I also don't understand why the location of the prison is marked with two gigantic stone statues of star elves.
Can i ask did the timeskip actually do anything relevant to the plot?
My hot take is that our boy Ehasz didn't have enough story for 7 seasons, but Netflix said "you're doing 7 seasons", so they stretched out the story they already had, and added some new storylines
The Sun Elf storyline and Terry are prime examples of this, if you ask me
Literally nothing will convince me that they had that planned from the start, even as an idea
Also I want to point out at 10:26 amaya is wearing a lot of what appears to be metal which would risk electrocuting her
I suspect Teri is an agent of our favorite Star Elf. He's powerful, seems to have a good morale compass but is A okay with all of Clauds horrorible actions. I think Aaravos placed him there to maked sure the mission is completed and to help keep Clauds mind together as she dives deeper into dark magic
You know he was just created for crossing off a checkmark right? Personally I don't care if he's straight, gay, gender confused or arro/ace. He's an annoying goofball still with no back story & I hope he dies or "just leaves".
Im just continuing watching the show just because I've stuck with it for so long. There are only 2 seasons left, so lets see what happens. The trailer for season 5 looked cool and very grim. So I think going down that route is a good idea. But, I don't have my hopes up.
I watched the show, after falling in love with Avatar the last airbender at old age. Avatar was really a revelation, an delicate artpiece, and ok..but i really find the first three seasons of the Dragon Prince very interesting and engaging..it seemd to me an interesting show where there were not easy or clear divisions between "good" and "evil" in a complex way with a lot of potential...but than from season 4 that radically changed. The last two season were unwatchable, litteraly i felt quite sick..due to all the crazy cuts, and the digital graphic that ruined the growned up Cullum and Rayla facial expressions. It really made me angry how the show changed from season 4 and how got boring and in the end really bad, in my opinion... Characters who seemed deep and multifaced in the previous seasons somehow changed and are like charicatures without any personality, the main plot is not particularly interesting or could be but we still dind't reached any interesting turning point, the other storylines are unconclusive and boring, like the library thing, and there are a lot of incongruencies all the time...like... Why everyone is surprised that Zubeya gets zombiefied if they said all the time that one bite wound have cause it for sure? and at the end on the beach Viren was with Terry, so i expected that when Claudia got back after her defeat she would have found him and talk to him..why is he now alone in some kind of wood waiting his dead?...and i also find that Zym has a real dog voice very strange and ugly... not going to watch season 6. Thanks for the video
I've just finished episode 7 and yeah, I literally thought they just plowed through the wreckage and made it through just fine because plot armor.
The crab ship looks terrible. It's a cool concept but the execution looks like they didn't even render it.
So you know that overhead shot of the giant ship right after the legs come out and stuff? I noticed an editing mistake there. So there's this big spike and It's between the camera and one of the big poles on the mast that holds up the sails, so the pole is supposed to be behind the spike but we can still see it because they forgot to edit that part. The whole ship just looks so out of place in that shot, the disappointment is palpable.
The next episode after it was pretty cool though, and I liked the return of the blind pirate guy.
Terry is 100 % supportive of Claudia, no matter what she does. He seems like a genuinely good person, whereas she is obviously increasingly evil, and also sinking deeper into dark magic abuse, something he enables. He isn’t just absurdly over-the-top nice all of the time, he’s also hot and useful. (I get the impression they’re having good sex, off camera.) But what is she bringing to the table in their relationship? When has she done a single thing for him? Apart from ordering him around.
To me the only explanation that makes any kind of sense,is that she has used dark magic to make him love and obey her. She is a mindboinking SA perp and he is both a slave and a SA victim. But I don’t think this show, which is now super PG, can go into that level of adult fear and darkness. So I don’t understand why they are writing these implications into the story.
I guess they don’t adress this in season 5 either…
2:04 I never noticed Rayla in that shot 😂
It didn't need to be "rescued", it is a wonderful series throughout. Including season 5.
To be honest, I think the fireplace is pretty cool and I’m glad they didn’t try inside plot his story.
i think one of the most jarring aspects of this show is how forced every cute animal scene is. it feels like they’re doing everything in their power to create merchandise. that’s not an issue because shows need money but it feels so janky and out of place. seasons 4 and 5 have felt the most egregious with stella and those random ass glow toad tadpoles.
good thing i didnt even know that there was a season 4. but now that i know that it's crap, it's kinda making me sad
Thank you. You saved me time from watching the season.
That Fortunate Son joke was beautiful 😂🤣
It really wasn't that much of an improvement over 4.
Really 24 minutes of a 32 minute long video entitles did season 5 save the show was just you recapping the entire season? This could have been a 6 minute video of just the end part of thought on season 5.
I think the main problem with s4 and s5 is that its villains are bad. Claudia could defeat a dragon in s2. I wasn't impressed that Claudia could defeat a dragon in S5. Even some birds in ep5 were more threatening than Claudia in the final fight. In season 4 she could put an arch dragon to sleep but in season 5.
Viren is neutered. In season 4 we got at least a semi interesting cliff hanger. If they let Viren die in s6, then I question the showrunners writing skills. We spend so much time with Virens redemption, then letting him die is stupid.
Terry could be Claudias fever dream and nothing changes.
Aaravos is a mystery box that waits to disappoint us. Remember Snoke from Star wars? I think the the story would be better if it didn't had Aaravos. The human elf conflict and dark magic can carry this show alone.
My season 6 predictions
Callum will free Aaravos, because he is curious about the prison. Set up in s4 and so on.
Claudia will use her leg to help Viren. Now we have a disabled character and representation. Terry is a trans and that it. What is Claudias goal after s5? I don't know. Claudia and Terry could have had a conversation about their future. I mean they spend all this time on a boat.
The sunfire plotline still feels out of place. It feels like Netflix has demanded that there needs to be more black representation and black people need more screentime. Karim is a weak antagonist that has no business with callum or claudias group. The sunfire priest was bitten by Aaravoss bug and is the only thing that keeps the story somewhat relevant.
The story in s5 seems weak. Our heroes look activly for trouble. Callum has to stay too long in the bookery or Ezran needs steals some baitlings to prevent a dangerous pirate from going fishing. I feel lile none of these side story matter. Season 4 and 5 could be one season.
Idk why Terry is so fine with rescuing an evil elf
I also don't know why he was so upset that Claudia saved his life by tricking Rayla with fake coins. Someone should tell that goofball that by keeping the real coins it might save them again.
I skipped most of the scenes with karim and his sister, that story was and is not strong enough
He wants the sun seed to revive sol ragems eye sight.
On the protagonist’s side, the story is doing a great job with Callum. So far he’s been one of the most captivating and compelling characters these two seasons. It’s just really unfortunate I can’t say that about the other protagonists.
The focus of the main plot now is to get the coin parents, parents in the coins, out of the coins so the parents are in not the coins parents no longer. the coin parents, parents in the coins are no-longer the coin parents parents in the coins, now the not coin parents, parents out of the coins. So then they can work on being the good parents, parents that are good and no longer the coin parents, parents in the coins.
I love the world, I love the hard issues the series tackles, but I feel like it lacks structure and has a lot of filler and doesn't know if it wants to be a kids show or a young adult show half of its runtime. I feel like it's lacked heart after the first seasons and the timeskip was absolutely useless. NEVER make your audience read a book to catch up on story on your TV SHOW or whatever graphic novel dunno. Also Rayla's VA really needs to DIAL IN, she lately has seemed like she's focusing more on keeping the accent than actually ACTING and EMOTING.
Just watched the whole 5 seasons for the first time. I think 5 is even worse than 4. So I'm not holding my breath for 6.
I think that the sunfire elves will wage a war on humanity and Callum will release Aaravos out of desperation in order to stop them. Callum is very anti-Aaravos right now, but perhaps he could find information later that challenges the narrative that Zubiea has been telling him.
It's funny how people even dare to compare this to Avatar. It is a nice for 3 seasons but I didn't even watch another 2 because they were garbage aka wasn't even the same show so why watch it. Avatar is just on another level. Dragon Price had a potetial to be awesome but they destroyed it so yeah. Let's be honest guys DP is done. It's below the grave. Also if people can't notice that DP got politicized then I don't know what to say. It's over.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
It begs the chicken or the egg question though: Did the show go obscenely woke because of creative bankruptcy? Or did its creativity get axed in favor of social political messages?
There's a documentary made about subliminal messages. It got banned from CZcams, pretty sure it's on Rumble and Odysee. But it basically exposes how much this happens. A show starts off normal, uninfluenced by politics. It just focuses purely on quality storytelling, world building, good action, and character arcs. But it does that specifically to get people hooked, because once hooked, people will generally keep watching and thus fall victim to subliminal messaging.
It's sinister like nothing else.
@@TheStraightestWhitest that is some next level of theory crafting. And not a healthy one. If you start doubting everything. You will be miserable. Dragon Prince was made before woke fiesta happened. Like many other shows. Later on because most buissines in America are interconnected. Everyone got forced to place this into their creations. That's why cancel movement was inforced. Woke would never be easy to overthrow the goverment as they pleased. It was all done to force a manipulation onto everyone.
@@TheStraightestWhitestWould be sinister if it was something wgat actually wirjs and not just some by conspiracy theory nonsense.
Tbh it's good to see that as bad as CZcams is, they at least delete conspiratorial nonsense.
@@i.cs.zamodits You got a lot of issues. Gotta be trolling.
Zombea?? lolol
I personally like the Dragon Prinve. I just watch it to watch it. I dont watch it to criticize the whole thing. It doesnt bother me at all.
I meant fire prince.
The seed was to restore sol ragums eye sight
the quality of wighting hasn't changed it always been bad.
Wish rayla would go back to her old clothes
You don’t have to be condescending to the younger audience. Its not a foreign concept for a kid to check out something that came out in 1990.
all this setup is so annoying
I think season 5 absolutely ruined the show, it was worse than everything else combined.
This show had so much potential, and I hate to see it being torn apart and wasted like this. However, I can't drop it until it finishes, because as a professional writer I think it's important to consume other stories, the good and the bad.
The creators have screwed the writing up in ways I didn't even think were possible. It's like they're going out of their way to make it worse. Season 4 was never THIS bad.
I didn't think it was possible for this show to turn out this bad when it could've been so good.
A lot of the aspects of the first three seasons that were jarring and horribly written (such as everything about Ezran's inconsistent character and actions in season 3, how the final battle was handled, what happened with Pyrrah, etc, etc, etc) can be overlooked if you give it enough effort.
Even a lot of what made season 4 bad can be overlooked if you really try hard enough. It was a setup season, and a lot of stories are usually off to a rocky start. I know because the first book of my book series was not nearly at the same level as the others, but I was very proud of where my writing went afterward in the following books once the pace was picked up. I know from experience that starting a story is hard, and it's usually not as great in comparison with the rest of the story. For these reasons, I was willing to overlook a lot of the stuff about season 4, so long as the next seasons were better.
But season 5 wasn't better. It could have been so much better but it was 100 times worse. It just shoves the plot convenience, plot armor, plot devices, and atrocious writing in your face at 100 times a larger magnitude than the first four seasons.
I used to love this show so much, but season 5 was just blow, after blow, after blow, after blow, after blow. It also made me realize that the first three seasons weren't as great as I initially thought, and stopped me from continuing to overlook what happened in season 4. It made me go from loving the show to hating it as a whole.
There's no way it can redeem itself with only two seasons left. It's a lost cause, and it kind of already was, I just hadn't realized it yet.
''It was a setup season, and a lot of stories are usually off to a rocky start.

The first 40,000 words or so (even though most who've read it found it compelling) absolutely pale compared to what I'm writing now.
Let’s be honest the show is not what it supposed to be anymore. Even the original author left the show.
@@Melis-dz8ey Aaron Ehasz left?
@@TheStraightestWhitest No not him but the other Orginal author left the show. And he was absolutely right.
This series should be like Avatar a good fantasy series it had potential but they completely ruined it now it’s just a pervert woke series.
Just because I ship the normal straight couple Rayllum on the show that doesn’t mean that i will watch this bland series because sadly it’s not about Rayllum or a good written story anymore.
They will be nothing happening again we are in season 6 and all characters are bland without a good character development.
The fanarts of Rayllum are better than the original one. If there will be any good scenes of them I will only watch it on CZcams. The series is dead let’s be honest. Even Rayla’s outfits and hairstyles are more feminine and better!
@@Melis-dz8ey Seems pretty par the course for Netflix. They always tend to turn shows with great beginnings into cringe wokefests of shit writing.
BLOOOOOD OF CHIIIILD
"Claudia has been taken down a peg." I see what you did there.
Ugh its horrible the finigren plot he was great and they WASTED HIM by a talk no jutsu
Did you just do a frickin Q joke
Yeah, I stopped watching after season 3… I think? I was vetting the show for my kids who love ATLA. The show was alright. You dunking on it doesn’t make me want to continue though lol.
Season 3's kind of feels like the best place to stop right now, but who knows, they pull it out the bag?
I don't think there's anything inappropriate for kids but honestly, there's just better shows they could be watching out there.
the bidenjoke nearly killed me
I actually like season 4-5. they are slow and not as funny as 1-3. but 5 is a but better Love the Raylum moments is 5
I still don't understand... most of your complaints honestly. Really liking this show and season 5 was my favourite. I also like this show much more than Avatar so... eh? The comparisons lost me as well.
Hey, fair enough, if you're enjoying it I don't want to stop that.
I think your blinded by the cute animals and poorly developed ships, friend
Agreed, people are way too critical about details.
I'm just keeping the first three seasons and that's It.
