The Dragon Prince Writers NEED To Give Terry A Character Arc

- I don’t think you could find a single person amongst The Dragon Prince fandom that hates Terry. And if there is one, I think they might need to be on a watch-list or something. Everyone loves Terry! So… why hasn’t he really got any story? It’s commendable he’s so beloved with such minimal development and individual growth, but seriously doesn’t he deserve some agency? Will this come in the final season (if they don’t continue on which has been teased). That’s what we’re discussing today. Enjoy.
Terry was so intriguing for me upon introduction because he was the first magical being (besides Aaravos) we saw who didn't openly disapprove of using dark magic, and that's fascinating. Why is he okay with dark magic when pretty much every other non-human character treats using it even once like an unforgivable atrocity? Terry is dating a dark magic user and has even stated that he's seen Claudia do "evil things," but he stays in the relationship despite being a pretty morally upstanding dude. How does he rationalize that? I wish they would dive deeper into this aspect of his character
Strongly agreed. No other character has such an opinion on dark magic, where they don’t practice it but aren’t opposed to it. It could be very interesting in a lore-focused episode.
It would also be funny if Aaravos is the one whom asks him, like he’s the closest thing to a deity outside of the arch dragons somewhat yet even he’s confused on why Terry is ok with said magic.
So true although we dont know the reason for that yet, i still found that such a breath of fresh air for a character seeming morally good like him to have lack of animosity towards the use of dark magic since hes an elf himself. I doubt the writers will do anything with him thought, i still love him to bits regardless.
Edit: just heard from the comments about the writers having a terry-focused ep in s7, finallyy
In a recent interview with Aaron E. he said that there is an episode in season 7 called "True Heart" that is apparently Terry-focused.
S7 will be chance to see Terry's narrative arc growing as a individual and I want to know how he and Claudia met each other and falled in love despite Claudia been a dark mage.
Well let’s see what happens
Somehow Claudia has an elven boyfriend. We have spent 3 seasons with this character and we got nothing substantial.
We have Claudia that was shown to heavily dislike elves. Even in s4 with her talk with soren. Giving her an elven love interest demands an explanation. Terrys inclusion in the story has done more harm than good.
Claudia has overcome her disdain for elves and got rewarded with an elven boyfriend. It feels like Claudia is already redeemed at the start of s4. The sunfire plotline about the human elf relationship? Viren and Claudia the main antagonists are not an obstacle. Due to Terry they are a positiv example how to overcome the differences between humans and elfs.
The writers have only one season left and Terry is still an incomplete character.
I'm afraid that so far Terry has been the poster child for codependency. Their with someone whose actively doing straight up evil things, but their in a relationship so their going to twist themselves up into knots to justify staying. He murdered someone for her! Terry is not going to abandon her no matter what. It's a good thing they don't have kids.
The writers have said that they’d like to eventually tell the story of how he and Claudia met and fell in love, either as a graphic novel or a movie. Also they confirmed that a season 7 episode titled True Heart will have him make a huge decision, so I’m really excited about that.
The franchise already gets grief for depicting Rayla's departure in a graphic novel.
There's a leaked image of Stella & those ugly baitlings on a Terry boat. He clearly left Claudia.
I still find it odd that Claudia, someone who was okay with killing elves and believed they were their enemy, started dating one. It would be one thing if they were friends turned to lovers along the show, but with Terry being confirmed trans... It makes me wonder if he was included only for the sake of diversity
She hates their arrogant attitude towards humans. Terry is the opposite of arrogant and didn't judge her before getting to know her. He's aware that Claudia does Dark magic but doesn't think she's "irredeemable", unlike a lot of people do in Xadia
@@DragonGoddess18 And that's kinda part of the problem. They can't just leave out a significant chunk of Claudia's character development and a whole new character out of the narrative and say "yeah, they met and became a couple offscreen" and refuse to elaborate further.
Terry REALLY needs to get some character development in some way. Like this could be a Moxxie and Millie situation where Terry could be risk at being Claudia's Plus one than an equal character.
I was wondering if when Claudia left him. If she didn’t come back he would help the protagonists but become a hell bent batman sort of character that devolves into a villain. Ofc that didn’t happen but oh well
I'll say that I do atill enjoy his character for being a supportive person to Claudia, but I also agree, it would be very nice to see him get more development and maybe see his reasons for why he's so loyal to Claudia depsite everything. Mayeb there coukd be a point where he thinks she's gone too far and actually leaves, or she hurts him in a devastating way and that causes the rift. Either way, I hope they at least don't ruin his character.
I don't even care about the dragon prince but I'm invested now because of all the smarty pants videos about it
I think we’ve had more of the Sunfire Civil War arc on screen than Aaravos, you know the OVERARCHING ANTAGONIST?!
Terry might be one of those wasted potentials in the dragon prince later seasons. I would have been happy if they cut down the Sunfire elf plot to give Terry more to do.
No way bro posted that soon after the creator of tdp confirmed there's gonna be a Terry episode in season 7
2:01-2:07 Wreck-It Ralph reference
His death will be the final nail in the coffin that turns chlodia good
Or evil.
I get what you mean. However, I do like Terry a lot and I do think some of his writing can be a bit better
Yeah Terry is a nice character, kinda wish there was more to him though.
Did I miss the killing part
Sadly, Terry only a plot device.
5min ago is a violation
Wait its actually confiremed he is trans? I saw that idea floating around but i thought it was just a head cannon
The Voice Actor who is trans himself confirmed
@@lasseehrenreich5502 ahh. I don't watch much BTS content about the shows I binge-watch, so it makes sense that I missed that. I really wish that important cannon information like this was in the actual show and not just sprinkled into random interviews, it gives a lot more context on why Terry chooses to associate with some dark mage and even date her, instead of his own kind, if tree elves happen to have the same attitude as humans irl towards trans people, it also raises questions about how both elves and humans see trans individuals, because they seemed pretty ok with same-sex couple, so why would they draw the line with gender transitioning? And how does gender transitioning even work in the dragon prince universe? Maybe they use magic for that? Maybe they didn't want to go into too much details in order to not pull an "High Guardian Spice" but do you really gatta leave casual viewers like myself completely in the dark? this feels like the owl house all over again
@@fruity4820 I'm not sure about Netflix allows but I wish too more the had be explicit About It now I also wanna know elves viewpoints on trans people
@@fruity4820 Actually, Terry's trans identity was confirmed in the show two times in season 4. There was a scene where he talked to Viren about what his childhood was like growing up in the Uncharted Forest; paraphrasing his words here, everyone thought he was a doe but he always knew he was a buck and that's why he chose the name Terrestrius. The second time was in an end-credit illustration of the flower he made bloom which had the trans flag colors.
@@lonerider4164 guess I am just bad at picking up on subtext
I'll be that person and say that I don't really like Terry all that much because there's not much else to him besides being Claudia's boyfriend. Also I didn't really like that part in the finale where he said Claudia was being cruel when she taunted Rayla with the coins of her parents.
You are trying to free the entity that has manipulated humanity and elves into being constantly at war with each other, and that that's where you draw the line?
That & by tricking Rayla, Claudia saved Terry's life. Those coins may come in handy again you doof.
I stopped watching after season 3 you think it's worth getting back to ?
Yes. Season 4 was pretty bad but season 5 is good and season 6 is the best one out of all seasons in my opinion
@@lucamagic Okay I'm gonna watch it as soon as I have time for it
5 was bad too.
@@TheMrPeteChannel I do not agree.
Can you make a video explaining the rooster miraculous in detail?
