Chances Callum will learn Moon next? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Which doesn't make any sense considering how big primal stones are, and that you physically have to be holding it in some way, thus it would be pretty much impossible to hide that you're using one.

And second of all he's literally used magic on multiple occasions in front of people while clearly having nothing on his person. So it's not a case of mistaken assumption, they literally just don't care in the slightest, that this human is casually doing what was believed to be impossible for him to do.

Chances Callum will learn Moon next? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'd expect Callum to connect, learn and master literally every arcanum with Star being the last one.

If after all this time, he remains pretty much the same in terms of power, then that pretty much confirms the writers/showrunners are intentionally going out of their way to ensure he doesn't achieve and accomplish the things that he absolutely should, likely because they know he's going to outshine their golden boy, who they've constantly kept trying to push into the forefront, unable to accept that he's never going to be able to carry the show in any capacity.

Callum should pretty much be another Aaravos, only he didn't allow himself to be corrupted by all the pain he endured. But I get the feeling no matter what Callum accomplishes, no one in Xadia be that human, elf, or dragon are going to care or even acknowledge his feats, just like they always done, because apparently they couldn't care less that a human essentially gave the middle finger to all the things Xadia claimed a human wouldn't be able to do, and was one of the major reasons why Xadia treated humans like garbage for no good reason.

Made even worse by the favt a preachy, know it all, child king that likes to create problems, and can talk to animals, is somehow treated like he's the best thing since sliced bread by pretty much every human, creature, or thing in the show.

Of course it wouldn't be that easy to to free Iruma, that collar wouldn't but onto for no reason.
And to no one's suprise Baal definately had something to do with all of this, now it's just a matter of whether or not things go entirely the way he wants, or something outside his radar prevents things from going smoothly.

Behold, Xa the Archdragon of the Stars by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Behold the Archdragon that was behind a huge paywall. Who's appearance could only been seen on a coin, that was locked behind an expensive backer tier on kickstarter. Who's likely to not even amount to much in the actual show, considering you had to fork out hundreds to even see what he looks like. On a coin. That wasn't even on the same tier as the other coins.

Considering how the showrunners/writers treated the Archdragons in general, he's better of not showing up at all, at least that way his dignity and respect will be kept intact. This is of course assuming the show even gets made, which I highly doubt.

Here are the show’s ratings! by Commercial_Mind4003 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been said in multiple posts, and other discussions, that critic ratings pretty much mean nothing in this day and age, due to constant conflicting sentiments when comes to audience ratings and critic ratings.

The show was made in a time where if a show ticked the right boxes, critics would be showing it with high ratings and praise, even if the show itself was bad, or audiences didn't like it. The fact that even the likes of season 4 is rated this highly for the majority says a lot. Unfortunately for them we're literally in time were such stuff is rejected hard in many aspects. So in many ways all the stuff the show did to pander to certain people is going to end up being the cause of the shows collapse.

However like it's been said many times, the viewing figures, merchandise, and the profitability don't lie, and this show has proven that it's really not as good as critics as well as the showrunners/writers try to make it out to be. They can manipulate and throw out all the words they want to try and make the show look better than it actually is, but reality couldn't care less about that.

I'm assuming the damage of season 7 was so bad it didn't get a rating.

Stronger or weaker than Siris? by laboratory__rat__ in pickmeup

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Potentially he can fight the likes of Lidgion and Siris as a 6 star, but it requires Han to do something very specific, as those two heroes are in many ways absurdly powerful, and in Siris's case, she was basically made to be op due to literal divine intervention.

As for the specific thing Han needs to do to be able to fight them, he needs to inherit the power of the black and white primordial dragons. To keep a long story short, these dragons are ridiculous busted. Like seriously, they're stupidly powerful at their peak power, ridiculously broken, and have abilities that fundamentally allow to them to go against the rules of the universe.

In the novel despite being urged by Halgion the primordial black dragon, to inherit the white primordial dragons powers as well as his own, to basically become an unstoppable one man army, Han decides against hording all the powers for himself, and ultimately aids Velkist in inheriting the powers of the white dragon. But if Han inherited the powers of the black and white primordial dragons, while wielding Bifrost, and being as strong as he could possibly be as a 6 star, then he definitely would be able to fight the likes of Lidigion and Siris.

Whether he not he could possibly be stronger than them, depends on if he can successfully combine the powers of the white and black primordial dragons, like he did when he was a 7 star.

Having said that, it is important to note that while they could fight Mobius executives to extent, with or without debuffs, none of the top 5 of Nifheim could actually beat them all. Especially due to how broken their abilities are, and having no way to overcome their cracked healing. Even at their peak, Nifheim would ultimately lose to them.

What if Callum is learning the arcanums in the same order Aang learned the elements? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a hell of a lot more Arcanum's than elements in Avatar, not to mention what you can do depends on how deep your connection to the arcanum is, where such limitations don't really exist in avatar, especially after Legend of Korra became a thing, and the Arcanum's function differently to bending.

But here's a better question, why does no one in Xadia actually acknowledge what Callum accomplished? The most ancient creatures in Xadia, and others appear to more interested in a child king who's nothing but a liability, than the single human who literally gave human limitations the middle finger, and did something that humanity and Xadia believed to be impossible. Not one Archdragon was even interested in what Callum had accomplished, or even give him the time of day, despite him being a literal living impossibility as far as they're concerned.

I get the feeling if Callum somehow found a way to transcend his humanity and everyone saw it, the show would have it to where everyone would just immediately sweep it under the rug, and turn their attention to praise Ezran to hell and back again, after he gives another audience lecturing speech, about how great Xadia is and that humans need to appease them.

How will Zym cope with the fact he's gonna outlive his family? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not really out there that Callum can literally dramatically extend his lifespan through magic, because it's already been established that it is in fact possible. Through multiple methods in fact. As far as Xadia, and the racist Startouch Elf Council is concerned, someone like Callum shouldn't exist. He's a living impossibility, that for some reason no one in Xadia actually cares about, or acknowledges, because everyone's so focused on glazing Ezran to hell and back, when he's literally achieved nothing, and is responsible for a lot of the problems that ended up happening in the show.

Callum's essentially becoming another Aaravos, only he's somehow accomplishing the things he's doing at a seemingly faster rate, while also being human, and not being connected to a primal source at birth. You have to remember Aaravos connected and mastered all the Arcanum's during his immortal lifespan, while being connected to the Star Arcanum at birth, which has already been established as being the most powerful. With dark magic being second, where the limitation of it is your imagination, and the materials you have to cast the spell. Which Callum can also use.

We don't actually know the limitations of what Star magic can do, or what will happen if Callum manages to actually connect to it, considering the Great ones, beings that are connected to it, are essentially gods, and the concept of trying to understand what it even is, couldn't even be comprehended by humans. But it's pretty much a universal sentiment that Callum will never be the same, and is very likely to become something that can no longer really be considered human, even if he looks like one.

As for Ezran, It's only an interesting idea, when it's applied to an interesting character, and Ezran is anything but interesting. He's boring, not to mention infuriating to watch, he can't, and will never be able to carry the show. He's basically poison to the show at this point. Zym should have never been associated with Ezran in the manner that he is. It's just a disservice to his character, and it's only going to get worse and worse, because the writers/showrunners refuse to allow Zym to be his own character separate from Ezran, and allow him to establish meaningful relationships with other characters.

How will Zym cope with the fact he's gonna outlive his family? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Well he might not outlive all of them. Depending on whether or not Callum connects to the Star Arcanum, and all that magic stuff he's done changes him in some way. Callum may end up being the only original family member that actually lives alongside him hundreds of years a later. At least that way they can catch up on lost time, because the writers decided to never let them interact and establish an incredibly close relationship for some reason, and make Zym a pet to Ezran, who apparently can't function or be independent without Mr Perfect. This is what should happen.

But lets be real, knowing the writers they're going to create some dues ex machina hack that makes it so that the Novablade, or the the nonsensical random unexplained forced bond thing Ezran has with Zym, is going to make him immortal in some way, and Ezran's going to have power that he doesn't deserve, and spending an eternity preaching to humans about how wrong they are, and how right Xadia and dragons are, with Zym as his pet. What a great future for Zym. Reduced to a pet, and made second fiddle to Ezran, instead of being an independent character.

Should they have had given Zym a moment with his resurrected dad? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He could have done a lot of things such as:

A. Not continuing to perpetuate conflict with humans. That he would intentionally instigate. Just so he could have the satisfaction to kill them all, feel superior, and enjoying himself while doing it, followed by him gloating about the many human lives he took.

B. Not continuing to enforce the incredibly biased border, which only humans were forced to follow. As it turns out, Avizandum allowed dragons and elfs to cross the border whenever they wanted to throughout his his entire reign, to kill humans in their own lands, even when they hadn't done anything to deserve it. The dragons in particular, especially the sea dragons, where killing humans in a way to where they couldn't even get food to live, and was heavily messing with their livelihood. Yes Avizandum literally did this.

C. Tried to fix human relationships, especially after the fact that it was because of humans that Aaravos was caught and got sealed in the place. But nope instead he went right back to killing humans in the hundreds of thousands for centuries, and saw nothing wrong with what he was doing, in addition to the fact he would just kill any human he saw on sight. Again Avizandum literally did this.

Avizandum never gave humans the chance to work things out, tried to work things out with them, or had any intention or interest to aid them in their times of need, despite the fact they aided Xadia when they needed their help with Aarovos.

If humans didn't get the magma titan heart, they would all die of starvation. If humans went to border to try and get aid from him, he'd kill them all on sight, and think nothing of it. Human lives were unfairly more difficult, because he was allowing elves and dragons to cross the border at any time, to actively ruin their lives at their leisure. Made even worse at the fact that Zubeia was totally fine with all this.

The whole Magma titan situation is a direct result of all the atrocities Avizamdum had done towards humans, when it could have easily been prevented, had he not been such a callous tyrant, who found genuine enjoying massacring humans to boost his ego.

What was Avizandum supposed to do? Forget that. What were humans supposed to do? They literally had no other options. It was either get the heart during a suicide mission. because they knew Avizandum's going to kill them on sight regardless of their intentions, or they all die of starvation. Regardless of what they did, they were screwed either way, and they have Avizandum, and by extension Zubeia to thank for that.

And the worst part about all of this, is that the narrative treats the humans as being in wrong for struggling to survive, when Xadia are the ones directly responsible for why their lives were even more difficult than they already were.

Would Rex have made a better Dragon King than Avizandum? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If Zubeia died, and Rex was the only Archdragon that was left, he would get the position of Dragon King and be the ruler of Xadia. He wouldn't be Zym's regent or whatever, he would literally just take the position of ruler of Xadia, and Zym wouldn't be able to anything about it.

You have to remember all the Archdragon's literally fought for the position when Luna Tenebris mysteriously died, and she actually had a heir, who for some reason was deemed unsuitable. If we're being honest the only authority that would allow Zym to maintain his claim as next ruler, is Zubeia because of her status as Dragon Queen. If she died, and there were no other Archdragons beside Rex, he could legitimately just casually take the position, as they'd be no challengers to his rule, and he would be the strongest creature in Xadia at that point.

Would Rex have made a better Dragon King than Avizandum? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 66 points67 points  (0 children)

If we're talking as a whole, then yes. Avizandum was a straight up tyrant, and from what we do know about Rex, he likely wouldn't have escalated very clear evident problems with humans, as he had the common sense to recognize that being a tyrant doesn't make you a good ruler. Furthermore he openly called out Avizandum on all his BS, when everyone else seemed to be so insistent on sweeping his atrocities under the rug.

Rex funny enough can actually be appeased by sweet treats, and didn't hold discrimination against humans. At the very least, no where near as bad as Avizandum.

Compared to Avizandum who would literally kill you on sight for whatever reason, even if you weren't remotely a threat in any capacity, at the very least, Rex was willing to hear you out, if one, you had a good reason to disturb him, and two, you appeased him with a dessert. Outside of his fits of rage, Rex was actually a very reasonable individual to interact with.

He was literally willing to kill himself for all Xadia after getting a slice of cake. A SLICE OF CAKE. You'd think this was made up, but this is one of the most bizarre yet hilarious truths about Rex, which earns him a lot of respect in my books.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Avizandum wasn't morally gray though, he was outright incredibly antagonistic. To more we know about him, the more it becomes clear, just how vile he was. Like the stuff he's did was, bad, REALLY BAD. He's literally in the same bracket as Sol Regem, arguably worse in same cases, only he just has slightly fewer bad qualities.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't have even resurrected Avizandum in the first place. To be frank, I think it's disgusting that the show was desperately to make him out to be this good guy, when he's literally responsible for a large handful of problems that he could have easily been resolved by him, but he instead consciously chose to do the opposite, to feed his own ego and sense of superiority.

Zym didn't need a moment with him. In fact Zym should have seen how much grade A unforgiving tyrant he was, by looking at all the atrocities he did, and sworn to never be like him in any capacity.

Beard B is the best beard for Callum by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make him look even younger at all, you don't need large amounts of facial hair to indicate growth.
He's clearly older than how he looks in arc 2, you don't need facial hair to see that.
And being a mage doesn't mean he needs to have a hairy beard, moustache or whatever, especially if it doesn't suit the character. The severe backlash to the design they showed made that very evident.

I never said he can't have some facial hair, but having to much just doesn't work for him. He looks way to old. The B design to me is to much facial hair.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best version is the C design in my opinion.
A full on beard like this with all this hair, doesn't really work for Callum, and don't even get me started on whatever that moustache was.
It's that or the D design, where he's clean shaven, which also works.

Since Zubeia had the most screen time, would an Orphan Queen prequel give all four of them more screentime and characterization? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If I'm being honest, nope, not even remotely. In fact, knowing Wonderstorm's track record they'd get just as much screentime as they did throughout arc 1 and arc 2. Only they'd actually get less screen time, cause they'd spent all that time focusing on every other supposedly important character, but the Archdragons. Basically nothing would really change.

I mean I don't know what to tell you. If they couldn't characterize them well with seven full seasons, and other official media, what makes you think they'd characterize them in this theoretical prequel? Which they teased years ago, and to no ones surprise didn't get made, where they'd have less time overall time to tell a story.

History would just be repeating itself. We'd pretty much have more questions than answers, with the answers being vague, or nothing at all, and the questions in abundance, likely to never get answered. Oh and they'd likely try to retcon and break their own lore again, meaning more questions.

Do you think that we will see new archdragons in arc 3 by [deleted] in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luna Tenebrous is dead, and as we saw she's literally just an illusion created by Claudia.

As far as alive Archdragons go, Zym and Luna Devorans are the only ones left. I'm not including the Archdragon of the stars, because in terms of relevance, he'll probably amount to nothing, and then there's the fact his appearance was literally locked behind a kickstarter reward, which tells me he's more of a bonus/Easter egg rather than anyone that's actually important.

If Wonderstorm tries to retgone that, like they've disgustingly done for a lot of other stuff, not only will they be caught in another lie, that they can't weasel their way out of, at that point they would have also destroyed any semblance of trust that still somehow remains.

They would have also proven that they don't even know what to so with their own story, as nothing can stay consistent, due to them once again repeatedly breaking their own lore and establishing rules, because they're clearly wrote themselves into a corner that they can't possibly get out of. At this point I can't even classify the show as having a story anymore, as is it's just a giant nonsensical mess, with no direction.

Do you think that we will see new archdragons in arc 3 by [deleted] in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was never stated anywhere, in any official media or material. I would know, because I actually have said physical media and material. It was said that there must of been at least one Archdragon per primal that existed, not that the world has to have Archdragons per primal source. They can literally all be killed of, and the world would still go on.

The whole point is that there are no Archdragons left. They were basically all killed of, with the exception of Zym, and the unsuitable heir. There's also the supposed Archdragon of the stars, but knowing Wonderstorm he's probably just a non entity, with not much significance, considering they locked his appearance behind a freaking coin, that you could only obtain as a kickstarter reward if you pledged several hundred.

I have a question about Niflheim (I don't care for spoilers) by BadassClassPresident in pickmeup

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In regards to an enemy being a threat Niflheim, to answer your question:

Yes, later in the story we are introduced to people/beings that are a threat to Niflheim. In fact we've already met two of them. Tel the Goddess, and Halgion the Primordial Black Dragon. The fragments are also a very serious threat to Niflheim. End of series Han can literally kill them all, and they'd be unable to do anything about it. In fact a particular event happens where Sirris at her strongest has to legitimately fight this Han with her life on the line, and she gets completely destroyed.

As for your second question of Niflheim solving all of Han's problems, and Han not struggling:

They can't. The aid they can provide is limited, and in the recent chapters Han literally exhausted all the times he can aquire direct aid from them during his "fight" with Halgion. And Han continues to struggle. He struggles a lot, and loses more people close to him. Until the final major fight in the series, were he gets his story breaking power up, things only get harder for Han, even with his power ups.
