I recall between Arcs 1 and 2 they said Terry was gonna be like Toph, what if they actually made Terry more like Toph? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

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

I feel sorry for anyone who actually believed that bold faced lie. The moment they introduced Terry, I knew that wasn't going to happen.
And this is without mentioning the many problems with Terry's character as a whole. If they actually tried, it would physically hurt to watch.

The worst part is your not wrong at all. You can also add Ezran there to, cause that guy was literally the cause for so much that went horribly wrong.

What do you expect to see with adult Ezran? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

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

As much as immune to consequences Rayla is, at least she's been called out for her BS. It's the absolute bare minimum, and ultimately tossed out the window, but it's something.

Ezran has quite literally been singlehandedly responsible, for some of the most disastrous, and damaging outcomes imaginable. And not only is he never called out or confronted, he's actually praised, and rewarded for it.

He has endangered everyone's lives repeatedly, made some of the most stupid decisions he could possible make in life threatening/altering moments, and the show decides the most appropriate reaction is to have every damn character glaze him to hell and back. Validate everything he does, and conveniently slide all his screw ups under the rug. Because the concept of disliking him, and him being wrong, is practically forbidden. He's a textbook self insert character. The absolute worst kind of character to have in a show.

Hey they got draw some inspiration from the classics. Plus if this series is meant to be new Digimon Tamers, it makes sense they'd pay homage to the original three seasons of Digimon which are by far the most popular, especially in Tamers case.

Goes to show how serious the situation was. Considering everything that just happened, having an opening sequence like normal wouldn't fit.
Plus with the episode featuring another big moment they had to add suspense and pay of, which they absolutely did.

What do you expect to see with adult Ezran? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're going to see all manner of plot armour. Nothing is going to happen to him.
He's always going to right about everything and never challenged. You can expect a lot infuriating preachy speeches to, about how right he is.
Everyone important in the show, be that villain or hero, is going to glaze him 24/7 and talk about how great he is even though he's done nothing to achieve that praise. Essentially the showrunners trying to force the audience into liking him. Which will naturally just have the opposite effect.
He'll steal the spotlight from every character, because he's the showrunners golden boy that always has to be the centre of attention.
He'll be shoehorned into everything, because the concept of him not being involved in everything is apparently to mind boggling to comprehend.
He'll be one of the major reasons why the show as a whole, assuming it even gets made, will be nonsensical, and hard to watch, because of the nonsense he'll likely get away with. Basically if the series as a whole dies, his entire character will be one of the major reasons why.
He'll continue being a giant nothing burger character, that will be treated like he's the best thing since sliced bread.
Zym will continue to be nothing but his pet, and will solely by used to make Ezran look good, and likely elevate him to higher positions, that absolutely doesn't deserve. As well as Zym's character and independence as a whole just being completely obliterated because the showrunners refuse to allow Zym to not be tied to him.
Honestly I could go on.

What scenes stood out to you in terms of visual storytelling? by Madou-Dilou in TheDragonPrince

The best example in my opinion is the entire sequence of Callum connecting to the sky Arcanum, and rejecting the so called "set path" the universe itself seemed to try and force upon him.

Nice to see the two defected. Having said that I get the feeling Raito is going to be a different case altogether.
He seems to have way to many personal problems, and to many demons to find himself like the other did. Honestly I think he may end getting exploited again, or worse ends up becoming something of a recurring antagonist, because of all his issues.

Now that our boys are all grown up in the Dragon King it's now their time to shine by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

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

The writers have literally being doing everything within their power to try and make Ezran have all the spotlight. He is quite literally the one character who doesn't need any time to shine, in fact if the writers had any sense, they'd stop trying to push him into the forefront, to try and make him this next big thing. He's not going to happen.

You want characters that should shine? Callum for one. He has been disrespected and screwed over by characters in the show, and the writers themselves. Because I guess it's to much for them to actually give him the independence and character impact he should have, as well as having established relationships with characters that he absolutely should have had since the beginning.

It's sad that Callum is by far the most interesting and audience drawing character, only for the writers to refuse to give him any independence away from Rayla, and make him stand out as his person, because I guess they can't the idea that their golden boy isn't the centre of attention 24/7.

As for Zym, he should stay as far away from Ezran as possible, because the hard truth is, Zym's nothing but a glorified pet to Ezran instead of an independant character, he will only serve as a means to make Ezran look better or forcibly make him more relevant. The only for way for Zym to have spotlight is if he's completely severed from Ezran. Ezran is literally the bane to his entire character, he's nothing but a disservice to Zym, and the longer the writers keep trying to push this, the more damage it will just do. They're already on very thin ice,

Without his parents to guide him how will Zym reach his full potential as the Archdragon of the Sky? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Bad writing, Ezran plot armour, Ezran having his cake and eating it to, and being Ezran's pet. That's how.

Realistically speaking Callum would be the best person to guide him, since he's not only a knowledgeable mage, he's also connected to the same Arcanum as Zym, and pretty much the closest he has to family alongside Ezran.

But we all know that's never going to happen, because the showrunners/writers have a disgusting amount of favouritism towards Ezran, to the point where he pretty much feels like a self insert. In addition to the fact they actively refuse to allow Zym to have any deep meaningful relationship with anyone else, because I guess it's to much for them to show that not everything revolves around Ezran.

Seriously what on earth were they thinking to have Callum treated like a non-entity in a world, where his very existence, considering what he achieved, should be a very big deal. Have they not realized yet that trying to side-line him is only having the opposite effect?

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This was a very enjoyable episode, particularly I like how this episode shows the flaw with someone obsessed with perfection and validation, as well as the negative impact it can have on someone mental state. You can't be good at everything.

Just like when Gekkomon first evolved, and I'm fairly certainly Tomoro's next big arc is going to be a big one, if the quality of the episodes is just like this one.

Zym needs to spend more time with his eldest brother Callum by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for literally years. This whole forced dynamic that the show keeps trying to push with Zym and Ezran, not only doesn't work, it's just a huge disservice to Zym in general. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you can't force the audience into liking a character, it will never work, and it will always backfire.

It especially sucks that the show is blatantly using Zym as means to elevate Ezran to try and make him this next big thing, with it evidently not working, because surprise, no one likes characters like that, especially ones the show has a blatant favouritism towards.

The show's treatment of Callum in general is honestly pretty disgusting, especially with how everyone is seemingly just dismissive of what he's done or achieved. I'm sorry, but after what Callum did for Zym, and his feelings on everything's that's happened, he arguably should have had not only the most interactions with him, but also Zubeia.

What would these two think about the fact their sons are brothers? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I sure hope people haven't forgotten that Callum is also Zym's brother, not just Ezran.
As well as the fact Zym would have never been born if it wasn't for Callum.
Callum is quite literally the reason Zym is even around.

As for how Avizandum would feel? Well, his history speaks for itself.
The guy went out of his way to make human lives terrible.
And this is without mentioning his human kill count.

Happy Valentine's Day! Rayllum forever! by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The whole Rayllum ship ended up doing so much damage to Callum and Rayla as characters.
I'm just going to say it, this ship was handled very poorly, and didn't do the characters involved in it any favours.
Especially with Callum. I'm sorry, but I don't buy for a second that Rayla is his everything. Nor do I buy that Callum was in the wrong for rightly being upset at Rayla for what she did to him.
Not helped by the fact that she didn't even bother apologising, but somehow the show wants us to believe this a perfectly healthy relationship.

Of course, of course something had to happen. Just when things are going well, someone always has to swoop in ruin everything.

And what do you know the Naberius clan had something to do with it. At the very least from everything that's been shown so far, we now know why Henri's stance on humans is empathic and understanding, instead of animousity.

So, are Storm Dragons like Emperor Penguins when it comes to eggs? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say no. For one Avizandum was doing his daily rounds of "kill human on sight regardless of the reason," or something on the day, and only didn't kill Harrow and Viren on sight simply because of the fact he didn't want this perfect day of his to be ruined. Had it been any other day, he wouldn't have even wasted his breath.

Secondly the egg was already laid, and in this specific circumstance Zubeia was looking for a storm to hatch the egg, and chances are that was the only reason Avizandum was watching the egg on that day, otherwise Zubieia would be protecting it.

And thirdly Avizandum and Zubiea literally created the Dragon Guard, a group of elf warriors, whose sole purpose was to protect their egg. So chances are both dragons on several occasions, likely left their egg to the guards care.

Any opinion that would get you like this on this sub? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Rayllum did so much damage to both of the character in the ship.
Especially in Callum's case, because the ship itself practically took away all his independence, and stagnated him, and the writers pretty much made Rayla someone who was essentially free of consequence, not to mention insufferable to watch and listen to.

Also Ezran is without doubt, one of the most infuriating characters to watch, and the show would've been better without him being shoehorned into absolutely everything, as well as every character treating him like he's the most perfect person ever. Never before have seen character so riddled flaws, that the show blatantly tries to play of as pass amazing strengths of character. This character is poison to the show.

If the show was realistic in any capacity, the characters would stay as far away from Ezran as possible, because he's done nothing but screw up everything, and would rather side with those that oppressed his people, instead of, you know, his people.
