@@thethirdbill I can't wait to watch you see this show. I love so much of the characters in this show and their arcs and the lessons they teach. And I can't wait to see how you react to a lot of it
“That dragon has the power to get you out of contracts!” I feel like since said contract was made to avenge his death, Zym was just like “Yo I’m still alive.” And the binding was like “Oh, word?”
The popular theory ever since season 1 is that the King's soul was swapped with his parrot, and that the king is in the parrot's body now. Which would be an amazing pay off to Ezran being able to talk to animals. But that's still just a theory.
@@lorettabes4553 okay sure but creators debunk theories only to reveal it was the truth all along all the time. I'll believe it when it's debunked in canon. And that's not even because I love this theory so much, even tho I do, that's just the lesson you learn from being in the gravity falls fandom. (A FAKE LEAK! HE GAVE US A FAKE LEAK TO THROW US OFF THE SCENT! I'm still not over that)
Bill, you should do "Trying to Stan Hilda" Hilda is a show on Netflix and it is EXACTLY the kind of thing you'd love. It's very cute and wholesome and overall just amazingly well written and charming. Every character in the show is an absolute delight.
I'm now like trying to think of nice sweet things for him to watch to give him a break from all the high emotions of all these shows 🤔 Anyone got ideas?
The dark magic is really interesting..because they are essentially using natural magic resources for human benefit which is an interesting allegory to how we use our earth's resources and its not always "good" or comes with negative effects
Also, #spoilers for S3, but what I think is most interesting is how on the third season's opening they retell the shows opening to reframe how humans only developed dark magic bc they weren't able to use 'natural magic' and were therefore being bullied by the dragons, adding a new layer of 'survival' to that 'little crime'
@@unknowndane4754 My point exactly. I know they say it as a joke, but they mention that dragon snot is a powerful ingredient to use for castings. How many other random things can they use. Are there magic sheep that they can sheer for wool? Are there magic cows that they can use the milk from? I honestly want them to answer that question because I don't feel bad for the butterflies at all. They are insects that he has apparently raised for use. To me, that just seems like a sustainable farming practice.
@@rolay7730 I will be discussing spoilers below so for anyone who hasn't watched the show, proceed at own risk: The best example is the magma golem, I would also at any price take the life of what seems to be a magical being if it meant hundred of thousands people didn't starve.
WHAT!!! BESTIE YASSSSS S1 is solid but S2 and S3 ARE FIRE I am soo hyped for you to get into this I love these characters especially the complexity given to the King and Claudia
@@izazifizazi Covid and they got Greenlit for a full 7 book run, a book for each element including Dark so I imagine they're writing the full story 1st and then actually animating it so once book 4 comes out it'll be quicker between books
11:45 “I hope the aunt is nice when she gets all the information” Me, remembering “she thinks I’m cute but won’t admit it” :) Also, are you watching the end credits? They have important information!!! In illustration format!!!
@@Cel-Garcial yeah! All the end credits have several little illustrations that go with them. They’ll show character interactions, hint at future characters and their relationships to current characters, illustrate little memories, even a few jokes (I remember there being an illustration of Callum with cactus juice, not sure when it was but it exists!)
The 'Viren is actually King Harrow' theory is the funniest thing I've seen anyone come up with that would be such a weird and wrong turn for this story
I used to watch it with my mom when we lived nearby. She's a big fan of animation and Dragon Prince is one of her favorite shows. She got so mad at some characters, it was funny.
My mom does not want to watch anything animated. Idk, I think she thinks its all terrible cuz she watched some animated shows for her childhood together.
@@Nella_nova My dad is like this. They are the same age (55) but they grew up in very different environments, so I think that might have made a difference. My mom and I both are excited for the ATLA live action because my father FINALLY will watch the story that both of us love so much 😆
Okay, this thing with dark magic is so interesting cause pretty much everyone reacts the same way to it (myself included), you know, "it's too on the nose" "literally called DARK magic" "how could it not be evil" etc. I think it's a pretty natural reaction cause we all understand that killing magical creatures to harness their energy is a pretty, at the very least, questionable thing and we also understand the term "dark" to mean "bad" or "evil". BUT in reality killing creatures for magic is not so different from killing them for food, or leather or other such things (something that a large part of society actually considers good or at least acceptable). AND "dark" really can mean many things, for example "obscure" "rare" or "unknown" and is really just tainted but the context of our real life history (and western, mostly religious, mostly catholic beliefs). I think it's important to consider the fictional context in which dark magic was discover and how it came to be known as such. Xadia would've been a world where there coexisted two different races of people, one clearly more powerful than the other, is it not natural that humans would've sought out a way to match their neighbours (even before the context of being in conflict with them)? How would you feel if you lived right next to a race of gods? How did the elves see the humans? How did they treat them? And who deemed the humans' new found power "DARK"?
The Dragon Prince is sooo good. Simultaneously very nostalgic and very fresh, though I think part of that has to do with the Avatar influences The show in general has a lot to say about breaking cycles of trauma and violence, especially in the next two seasons, and becoming your own person. Some really heavy topics that I think they did a great job addressing.
The first book is really good, but whenever I rewatch it I'm always surprised at how little happens. One when I think about this show, I think more of Book 2 and 3 because there is just so so much coming!
Man I can’t wait for parts 2-6, Netflix pls, I am engaging in content. That aside I’m psyched that you’re watching Dragon Prince this series got some genuine fist pumps out of me for the magic story and ‘other’ themes(representation) no spoilers I don’t exactly remember what’s all in book 1. Excited for you to watch Books 2&3!
Seasons 4-7 have been greenlit and are now in production but haven’t come out yet. The story is going to be sectioned off with seasons 1-3 as an arc, 4-6 as an arc, and season 7 on its own
this made me want to rewatch the whole series tbh. i hope you continue to watch the other books! Soren and Claudia have my favorite character development and I love to see you react to their arcs.
Yes!! I’ve been waiting on you to do this! I LOVE you saying Raven’s phrase, because that’s exactly what I said!! Lmao!! Also you trying to ship Viren and the King? 😂🤣 The king’s wife Sarai is Amaya’s sister. The Queen is LIFE. I love her. Also Amaya is amazing too. The sign language, the connection between them once you get to the next season, so good! Really would like you to do the next seasons, it gets so good.
Hey Bill!! So happy you got around to watching this show. I think you’re really gonna enjoy the next two seasons. I just want to thank you for your videos. As someone who lives alone and doesn’t have many friends who watch the same shows as me, watching your reactions feels like watching my favorite shows with a friend. So thanks for being you ❤️
I'm meaning to start the second book novelisation today but before that I thought you'd appreciate a section from the first one that doesn't spoil anything but shows how complicated things were between Viren and Harrow (it's viren's pov during their last scene) Viren could tell the King's fuse was short tonight. Time was running out. And he was having trouble being direct. He wanted to offer his life for Harrow's, but he wanted him to understand that this was more than just a sacrifice of a subject to his king. This was personal. "You are my king. But you are also my friend," he began. "You're friend?" King Harrow asked, his eyebrows arched with suspicion. "Yes, my friend," Viren said softly. He knew that over the years he had come to King Harrow with so many clever tricks and schemes, and sensed that even now Harrow suspected an angle. Viren closed his eyes and took a deep breath. If he wanted the king to understand, he would need to be straightforward. He wanted to say simply *I love you and I will die for you* . Viren looked the king directly in the eye. "Right now, I do not come to you as my king. I think of you more as my brother." A strange euphoria swept through Viren as he spoke the words. A lifetime of ambition and struggle suddenly meant nothing compared to this moment of sacrifice and love. But King Harrow wasn't having it. "I see the problem now," King Harrow said. "it's that you believe you are special. Better than everyone else. Above the laws of this kingdom." With each word Harrow's anger mounted. How dare Viren come to him in his final hours and lecture him about how they were equals. He pounded his fist against one of the bed posts. "That's not what I am trying to communicate," Viren said. "Please listen." But there were too many worries swirling in King Harrow's head. "Assassins are coming to murder me tonight and you're wasting what precious little time I have left," he barked. "No, Harrow_" "Just stop," King Harrow said. He held up his hand to silence Viren. "In fact, if you're going to speak to me at all, you should address me correctly. How about 'No, Your Highness.' In fact, let's try 'Yes, Your Highness,' for a change." Viren's face went white with rage. He'd come here with the best of intentions, prepared to give his life, and the king was too stubborn to even listen. He curled one lip up. "Oh, are you sure you wouldn't prefer 'Your Royal Highness'? Or 'Your Esteemed Inimitable Majesty' perhaps?" Harrow didn't deserve the loyalty Viren had prepared to offer. "I have tolerated your arrogance long enough," King Harrow said standing. "Maybe even encouraged it. But if today is my last day as king, you will know your place." "And where, exactly, is that place?" Viren demanded. "Right here, on your knees," King Harrow commanded, pointing at the floor. "You are a servant of the kingdom of Katolis. You are a servant." Silent, Viren bent to his knees. He'd been stupid to even consider making this sacrifice. The king didn't consider him a brother or even a friend. In the king's eyes, he was worthless. He was nothing. Viren's heart turned as cold as the stone beneath his knees. If he wanted to defy his former friend one last time, he'd have to do it tonight. And that's where it cuts away TL; DR viren loved harrow(the type of love is unclear)but it super hurt his feelings when harrow devalued their life long friendship to the point of tainting everything they had To be clear their relationship was very complicated and viren may actually have a point(despite being clear cut in the wrong), there's a lot to say about the two of them that I will save until you learn more(that and this comment is already too long), I look forward to part 2 and 3(and eventually 4-7)
Aaaaa! I’ve been waiting for this day to come, Dragon Prince and thethirdbill, I’m so excited to watch this after a day that is no doubt gonna be exhausting.
I saw someone else in the comments recommend watching Hilda to you and I definitely think you should do it! it's a very cozy animated series on Netflix and as of now it has 2 seasons and a movie with a 3rd season on the way
Wait really?! Exciting! Everything I could find said they were going to do a third season but instead the movie was made in place of that. Do you have a link to where they’ve announced season 3?
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT SINCE LAST YEAR YES BILL DRAGON PRINCE IS PERFECT FOR U. Trust me you're going to become obsessed with the 3rd season
holy shit, I started watching you about a week or two ago, from your encanto vid, and I was actually thinking about the series when I got the notification, Im so excited your watching this! It has to be one of my favorite shows, a huge inspiration for me ever since it first came out!
Ooooo I was actually not expecting this! but it’s really nice too see a lot of ytbers reacting to this wonderful series! I really really Hope you enjoy it Bill!😄
Man I can't wait for 2 and 3! And 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 eventually, i encourage them all. Honestly, i very much enjoyed the video because I felt like you really understood the show. You were able to pinpoint a lot of things very accurately, even some of your speculations are surprisingly accurate, and that was very cool to watch.
i just finished the video and im really glad u liked the show. it’s been a while since i’ve watched it, but it definitely gets so much better throughout the seasons. i think the way they animated it was really cool because it’s in 3D!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I can't wait for you to continue to watch this show!!! it's just incredible and this reaction was so enjoyable :DDD
Can't wait for you to experience the rest of what's out! (And for all of us to get S4 and onwards) Looks like you enjoyed it. Knowing more coming up, I'm certain you're going to continue enjoying the series.
I LOVE THIS SERIES! I'm so excited that you are helping spread the word of how AMAZING IT IS!!! This series is such a f*n boss! It regulates things that main society likes pretends are minorities. There are interracial, gay, and lesbian couples and no one even bats an eye. They have families and normal dynamics. There are families that are blended, and families that have been split. They really show how family dynamics can get twisted around but you still love them. There are characters that are deaf, blind, and that have had limbs amputated. This series takes no prisoners and it is rated Y7. It is about damn time that children finally get a real representation of the world.
i love this show so much like i literally usually like fantasy settings either but it still manages to be one of my favorite shows ever it's great!! excited to see your reaction to the other seasons :3
Also side note (separate comment to try and help make the algorithm happier for you!) I can't subscribe cause I already am but I get really excited when you do shows I've seen and love. You have some really nice insights and I'm so happy you support mental health and are just a great reactor. Now I just have to somehow be patient until the other books can be watched and we get to have those videos too. And eventually ideally book 4 too please! (Hard to have all the patience for all this) But it's exciting to know it'll come eventually hopefully!
i've been hoping for this for so long and i'm so excited it's here!! i was beginning to think you wouldn't get to even though i've always thought you'd love it a lot! s2 and s3 just get better and better (and gayer throughout)!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! TDP honestly is one of the best shows in a long time, just as good as Kipo and few others. And It just keeps getting better every season, Im sure you will not be expecting this. TDP has much more of a spirit of ATLA than Korra tbh. We-re currently have 3 season and graphic novel with the continuation of a story. Season 4 is in development, and 7 seasons are confirmed. I love this show so much, but it is so underrated! So thank you for getting attention to it, TDP really deserve it. Can't wait for you to see next seasons :3
Man, I can't wait for parts 2 and 3 and eventually 4, ideally. I encourage parts 2 and 3.

And that's where it cuts away TL; DR viren loved harrow(the type of love is unclear)but it super hurt his feelings when harrow devalued their life long friendship to the point of tainting everything they had
To be clear their relationship was very complicated and viren may actually have a point(despite being clear cut in the wrong), there's a lot to say about the two of them that I will save until you learn more(that and this comment is already too long), I look forward to part 2 and 3(and eventually 4-7)
Dragon prince let's gooooo! I hope we get episode by episode breakdowns of at least season 4 onward once it comes out
"They turned on incognito mode" killed me, great video and interesting theories, can't wait or the videos on season two and three! :D
YESSS LETS GO I LOVE THIS SHOW
edit - coming back after the vid, king u should definitely watch the other seasons
I saw the thumbnail and i immediately press play so harddd likee I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE FINALLY WATCHING THIS OMG
Aaaaa! I’ve been waiting for this day to come, Dragon Prince and thethirdbill, I’m so excited to watch this after a day that is no doubt gonna be exhausting.
Yeah, this is was a lovely video :)
i gasped so loudly when i saw this video on my youtube page hahaha haven't even seen it yet but i'm hyped
I saw someone else in the comments recommend watching Hilda to you and I definitely think you should do it! it's a very cozy animated series on Netflix and as of now it has 2 seasons and a movie with a 3rd season on the way
Wait really?! Exciting! Everything I could find said they were going to do a third season but instead the movie was made in place of that. Do you have a link to where they’ve announced season 3?
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT SINCE LAST YEAR YES BILL DRAGON PRINCE IS PERFECT FOR U. Trust me you're going to become obsessed with the 3rd season
OMG. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS!!! IM SO GLAD WE GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS WITH YOU!
holy shit, I started watching you about a week or two ago, from your encanto vid, and I was actually thinking about the series when I got the notification, Im so excited your watching this! It has to be one of my favorite shows, a huge inspiration for me ever since it first came out!
Saw the notif and had to immediately watch, loved this series
Thank you for that swift (I assume) Spyro reference around 17:26 it shot me back to the early 2000s like a catapult
that was absolutely a Spyro reference! haha
Ooooo I was actually not expecting this! but it’s really nice too see a lot of ytbers reacting to this wonderful series! I really really Hope you enjoy it Bill!😄
I dropped everything when I saw this notif! So excited for this!!
I didn't realize you didn't watch the Dragon Prince till now. Have an awesome time with it and can't wait till Book 2 and 3!
Not me and Bill having the same mind about the "on your knees" line 👀
Man I can't wait for 2 and 3! And 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 eventually, i encourage them all.
Honestly, i very much enjoyed the video because I felt like you really understood the show. You were able to pinpoint a lot of things very accurately, even some of your speculations are surprisingly accurate, and that was very cool to watch.
i just finished the video and im really glad u liked the show. it’s been a while since i’ve watched it, but it definitely gets so much better throughout the seasons. i think the way they animated it was really cool because it’s in 3D!
i’m so glad you too picked up on the vibes between viren and the king cuz I also was like “ayo 😳🏳️🌈⁉️”
YES!!! I have been OBSESSED with this series and I am so happy you saw are reading this series!!!
Oh I absolutely adore TDP I hope you enjoy the next seasons!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
I can't wait for you to continue to watch this show!!! it's just incredible and this reaction was so enjoyable :DDD
This was one of my favorite live commentaries. "Auntie America" had me howwwwling
( *Micheal Scott voice* ) OH MY GOD OK ITS HAPPENING- EVERYBODY STAY CALM
Man, i cant wait for parts 2 and 3, and you know, for eventually 4, ideally.
such organic unsolicited support! thank you so much for your unscripted kindness!
AWWWWWW HELL YEAH I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO KEEP WATCHING THIS IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS
So excited to see this, this show needs more love. Also I definitely can't wait for parts 2 and 3. :D
Can't wait for you to experience the rest of what's out! (And for all of us to get S4 and onwards) Looks like you enjoyed it. Knowing more coming up, I'm certain you're going to continue enjoying the series.
YEAASSSS I love dragon prince
Yay!! Yes please continue and do the rest of the seasons!!!
I LOVE THIS SERIES! I'm so excited that you are helping spread the word of how AMAZING IT IS!!!
This series is such a f*n boss! It regulates things that main society likes pretends are minorities. There are interracial, gay, and lesbian couples and no one even bats an eye. They have families and normal dynamics. There are families that are blended, and families that have been split. They really show how family dynamics can get twisted around but you still love them.
There are characters that are deaf, blind, and that have had limbs amputated.
This series takes no prisoners and it is rated Y7. It is about damn time that children finally get a real representation of the world.
i love this show so much like i literally usually like fantasy settings either but it still manages to be one of my favorite shows ever it's great!! excited to see your reaction to the other seasons :3
Oof I'm so happy you watched these but DAMN you will love the next two like forreal you will LOVE all the character development 💖
Also side note (separate comment to try and help make the algorithm happier for you!) I can't subscribe cause I already am but I get really excited when you do shows I've seen and love. You have some really nice insights and I'm so happy you support mental health and are just a great reactor.
Now I just have to somehow be patient until the other books can be watched and we get to have those videos too. And eventually ideally book 4 too please! (Hard to have all the patience for all this) But it's exciting to know it'll come eventually hopefully!
As a person who has been starved of Dragon Prince content I really appreciate the video!
I always get goosebumps from that intro. It's just soo good ❤️
I just recently became obsessed with the dragon prince (since like last week) so its perfect timing 😊
Yaaaay I can't wait to see your reviews of seasons 2-3 and beyond!
Please more bill I have been waiting for someone to react to this!
I've been waiting for a new dragon prince book to come out for literal years- glad that you have now joined us all in this arduous wait
I can't wait for all the future videos on this series!
i've been hoping for this for so long and i'm so excited it's here!! i was beginning to think you wouldn't get to even though i've always thought you'd love it a lot! s2 and s3 just get better and better (and gayer throughout)!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER!!!
Pleeeeease keep watching until season 3!
THIS SO IS SO GOOD IM SO EXCITED TO JOIN YOU ON THIS JOURNEY!!!
Can’t wait for more parts!
Omg I can't wait to hear your opinion on the second and third season and predictions for the fourth one!!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!
TDP honestly is one of the best shows in a long time, just as good as Kipo and few others. And It just keeps getting better every season, Im sure you will not be expecting this. TDP has much more of a spirit of ATLA than Korra tbh.
We-re currently have 3 season and graphic novel with the continuation of a story. Season 4 is in development, and 7 seasons are confirmed. I love this show so much, but it is so underrated! So thank you for getting attention to it, TDP really deserve it. Can't wait for you to see next seasons :3
I’m so excited to see your thoughts for the next 2 and I’m so excited for you too meet some characters
Watching you watch this after I have seen all of It☺️☺️ can’t wait see you complete it:) this was fun!
