THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 AV CLUB REVIEW TV

He wants to use magic again without the crutch of a magical device, but a powerful elf tells him that his humanity makes that impossible. Callum stole one of the latter in the show’s first season, allowing him to use sky magic, but he had to give it up to save the life of the show’s title character. Humans like Claudia and her father Viren (Jason Simpson) can only cast spells by stealing power from magical creatures, or using special magic items. This is a world divided between the human kingdoms and the magical realm of Xadia, where elves and dragons wield elemental magic. In its new season, The Dragon Prince becomes both a deeply satisfying fantasy story and a deconstruction of fantasy tropes, including the ones Avatar: The Last Airbender was guilty of itself. It’s clear now that season was burdened by the weight of an immense amount of setup, introducing the world, its magic systems, and its characters. The first season of the show from Avatar: The Last Airbender head writer Aaron Ehasz and veteran video game developer Justin Richmond showed promise, but was underwhelming compared to Ehasz’s previous work. The Dragon Prince’s second season is filled with these kinds of wonderful surprises. When Callum goes to talk to Ezran about growing up and facing hard truths, a monologue with an emotional significance that deepens through later reveals, Callum realizes he doesn’t have the courage to tell the truth, either. Instead, he only thinks about how he’ll share the grim news with his young animal-loving half-brother Ezran (Sasha Rojen). There would be plenty of drama in a conflict that hurts their relationship and drives Callum further toward Claudia.īut that isn’t what happens. The predictable outcome would be for Callum and Rayla to have a huge fight over the way she hid the information from him. She resolves to finally break the bad news, but Callum’s crush, the dark mage Claudia (Racquel Belmonte) beats her to it. The elf assassin Rayla (Paula Burrows) has a crush on the bookish prince Callum (Jack De Sena), and hasn’t told him that she knows his stepfather, King Harrow (Luc Roderique), is dead. In “Half Moon Lies,” the second episode of season 2 of Netflix’s animated fantasy show The Dragon Prince, the writers set up a pretty classic rom-com conflict.
