The best scene of the ENTIRE season is when Rayla declair herself Stella's mother, u can't change my mind. "She is an orphan, or she wAas. Now she has got a cluddle-mama *nose kiss*"
@@emreiskgor9838 I love how her face isn't one of "oh good i loves him so much" but yes one of "MOON ones hum?????" and do that face just to joke with him, but i'm pretty sure she had a mix of feeling HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA
Iunno, I think Callum is sorta justified in his feelings. I mean Rayla was gone for two years, she could have at least sent him a letter or something but he was left not even knowing if she was still alive…and she left on his bday at that. She just showed up and acted like nothing happened, so I get it. I think some of his distance has to do with Aaravos using him as a puppet in ep. 4. He might be scared to get close again with him being an obv target for Aaravos.
Yeah that was something that bothered me as well. It seems the presentation implied that Rayla was justified in her actions - which she was. She felt a heavy burden and fear and she needed to take care of herself. The issue is that in a relationship, being considerate of your partner's feelings is important, and Rayla really did that wrong by leaving without saying a thing. And even moreso when she finally showed up again, she didn't even attempt a proper apology. "I know I hurt you." is acknowledgement of a mistake, but it isn't an apology. And without an apology after all that happened, I think it's more than fair that Callum remained cold for as long as he did. To further this point, I think its worth noting that after Rayla asked Callum to stay with her in the tower for the night, she once again left in the morning without saying anything. In a way, it sends a message that she may not have learned anything from this whole situation. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a point for conflict further down in the story. But with that said, I think the lukewarm reconciliation at the end of this season leaves a lot of room to really expand on the Rayllum character dynamic in either the next seasons of a tie-in comic.
@@ernestng6780 yeah tbh i think they both are justified of their actions they both had motives and made mistakes, but i'm glad they made up in the end, when Rayla almost died Callum realized how much he cares for her
@@ThePokemonPrinceYT I just hope they address these unresolved mistakes they've made in the next season. 9 episodes definitely wasn't enough time to handle the main plot (especially with 3 major plotlines concurrently) and flesh out the relationship issues, but I'd definitely be disappointed if in season 5 they kind of brush it aside. That said I'm glad they didn't rush a reconciliation without tackling the issues either, I think that would have been fanservice at best and bad writing at worst. The ending was really sweet though, I'm with you on that
@@ernestng6780 Callum could let Rayla leave, he understand her feelings and sorry her. But Rayla never really said sorry because Callum doesn't let her do so, she isn't ready to forgive her so he doesn't want to her to say sorry. I really miss a "sorry" from Rayla, but i think that will be more worked in future season, when they stop to explain why Rayla really come back, what happened to her in that time.
I actually like how Callum was mad with Rayla at first. I would be too. If the woman I love left suddenly, leaving only a note for me to know where she went, and then didn't stay in contact so I could at least know she was alive and well, I'd be pretty damn pissed. And I also like how Aaravos didn't fully strangle Callum. I think it's a Sonic 06 Mephiles killing sonic situation, where his decision seems stupid on the surface but is actually genius. Aaravos is a smart villain, and with the scene of Callum asking Rayla to kill him, it makes me think he kept Callum alive on purpose so he can use them later.
Aaravos def plans to use Callum again and Callum knows and it’s already eating at him. I mean I think some of Callum’s coldness is cause he’s still mad, but I also think he’s worrying about her getting hurt if Aaravos possessed him again. I mean when he suggested Soren go with Rayla he talks to Ezren and Ezren thinks Callum is messed up caused he’s still mad at Rayla, but what was actually bothering him still was Aaravos using him as a puppet.
The Human girl they mention several times is the ancestor of Harrow and Ezran who would go on to become Queen of Katolis. There is an upcoming story, The Orphan Queen, that will explore her story.
Actually that girl who reminds Rex of Ezran is propobly the Orphan Queen. One of Ezran's great great great great... (you get the point) grandmother who was friends with Aaravos at some point. That's how Harrow's family got the rune cube.
Now that I watched all of S4, I am genuinely curious on why Terry not only chose to date Claudia ( a human and a dark mage), but is seemingly going along with all the dark magic involved in order to free Aaravos. We don't know much about his past, but it is pretty easy to assume that earthblood elves were not inmune to the anti-human propaganda or how dark magic is inherently dangerous. Like you mentioned, It is heavily hinted that Terry had a difficult childhood due to being trans. Probably, the treatment was so rough that he started searching for love and acceptance somewhere else, including a very pretty dark mage going through a though time. I would love to see either a graphic novel or more episodes in S5 focused on those two years Claudia had to basically be all alone in Xadia to revive his father and her meeting Terry, That would be amazing!
Seeing a flashback episode or something or the sorts would be awesome for how they met and everything since! Could Terry be the downfall of Claudia if he decides to "swap sides" lol? That would hurt ngl
Bro I loved you video, and yes I agree Rayla is absolutely beautiful this season. Also loved you simple reviews and yes I can’t wait for more Rayllum moments and sweet things happening next season, wide as we know it will come out way sooner, hopefully summer 2023!! Rayllum forever! Great video again, earned a subscriber
When the baker said brown goey pastry I was screaming CHOCOLATE, ITS CHOCOLATE behind the screen and when it's ezran's turn to give stuff I knew he was eventually gonna give them Chocolate tarts
Callum is 100% justified. He helped her see the dead and she almost died because he let her go alone. He tells her that if she wants to go investigate Viren, then they should go together. And despite agreeing, she ghosted him. She abandoned him with just a goodbye letter for 2 years. Thats very scaring in a relationship, especially for someone as emotional as callum. And while Rayla is trying, she clearly doesn’t understand how she mess things up. As proof, unlike with Ezran, she never apologized to Callum. I mean, I love them, and I definitely think they are a great combo. But I also think that Duty for rayla can be a flaw that will lead her to make these mistakes and that it had to be explored now. Especially before the whole Aaravos debacle starts.
Honestly I was more annoyed with Rayla than Callum. She didn't even say sorry. Although, I will say it makes sense for her character. She seems to have zero social understanding. In reality, they really just need a good long chat to air out everything to each other.
Terry is too pure for this world and has to be protected from the mean earthblood elves who value animal cruelty and toxic masculinity above all else(and I tought they are a chill druid society)
@@dodozinha1508 with how he was acting in regards to his childhood definitely, "Back when everyone thought i was a doe" could mean he tried to come out but no one accepted him or worse tried to force him into believing he was wrong. Of course there's also the chance he was just to scared to tell them but after the episode we saw of them i don't think they're that open to differences, especial one like Terry's case, not say him begin trans is bad just that the others in his village probably didn't understand or like the difference it made.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVED HIM FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIM *IN THE TRAILER* he is amazing he is my favorite he must be protected, also yes the earthblood elves do suck i thought they'd be nicer but NO. so ye. lol
@@ardeni8385 hopefully next season will confirm those we've seen are considered savaves even among other earthblood elves, sunfire elves have some religious zealots too who should be classified as dragon food, Karim did nothing to change my mind, upon rewatch he is even more annoying
Nah man, the one outta pocket over here is rayla, at least she could have said sorry once. She even admitted to doing the wrong thing by leaving. But overall I blame it on the pacing of this season, felt too much like a bridge season where nothing important happened until the very end. Hopefully next season will be better.
Season 4 is considered an "act 1" season so I think it's understandable you feel like nothing particularly important happened until the end. I partially agree, but there was a ton of great set-up to ready the rest of phase 2/the show
The end credit pictures of episode 9 show Viren passing out like Callum when he first used dark magic. It could mean Viren will go through the same thing Callum did and obtain a primal source
Oh yeah... Damn, I didn't think about that! Hopefully it more means he holds off on dark magic a little more rather than learning a primal (because that could be terrifying)
Dragon Prince Theories 1. Aaravos' Guide looks like Gollum (Picture Riddles?). 2. We know the Tidebound Elves are involved in Aaravos' prison. 3. Clue to Prison Theory - Sky Archdragon: The Mirror = The Prison's appearance - Earth Archdragon: The Map = The Location of the Prison - Ocean Archdragon: The Blueprint = Entrance and features of the prison 4. There are no Star Archdragons but only Void Dragons and Star Devouring Dragons. 5. The Key of Aaravos reminds me of the One Ring (Callum couldn't drop it in the lava). 6. Viren became unconscious like Callum when he reused Dark Magic. He might go through the same mind journey Callum went through and find his primal source (Likely Star Magic?). The end credits images of Episode 9 showed Viren in his Dark Magic form, becoming exhausted, and collapsing like Callum did when he first used Dark Magic. Book 5: Ocean Theories 1. The Tidebound Elves are well known for their powerful magic. 2. The Tidebound Elves are needed to help free Rayla's Parents and Runaan. 3. The Blueprint of Aaravos' prison is guarded by the Ocean Archdragon. 4. With the blueprint, Claudia's group will free Aaravos in Book 6: Star. 5. Team Zym will meet descendants of the Tidebound Elves who crafted the prison. 6. Rayla hates water so she will be scared underwater at Tidebound Archipelago. 7. Rayla's reunion and future relationship with her parents is similar to the relationship between Nya and her parents in Ninjago Season 14 Seabound. An overcaring mother who wants to spend more time with her daughter with a supporting father. 8. Rayla and her parents' reunion example: th-cam.com/video/HkQxvAi4lak/w-d-xo.html Character Similarities to other Stories 1. Aaravos reminds me of Sauron (Annatar) and Darth Sidious. 2. Viren is like Count Dooku and Saruman combined. 3. Claudia reminds me of Morgan Le Fay 4. Callum reminds me of Anakin Skywalker, Merlin, and Frodo. 5. Ezran reminds me of Bran Stark, Aragorn, and King Arthur. 6. Rex Igneous reminds me of Smaug and Nelfarion (Deathwing). 7. The Startouch Elves remind of the Maiar (Lower Ainur). Dragon Prince Location Similarities to other Stories 1. Umber Tor reminds me of Erebor. 2. Tidebound Archipelago will probably look like Atlantis
Very good season! Had a fun watching with some little bits of wisdom along the way. Excited for the next 3 seasons since it was renewed for 5,6 & 7 The women is definitely Ezrans ancestors IMO. Lots of cool world building in these episodes. I am sure the 3 Quasar diamonds will play into how they defeat Avaroos or something. My pet theory in the end Claudia will help be the reason they defeat Aravoos because deep down she has good. Claudia’s intentions to serve her dad and be a good daughter at any cost is just blinding her to what is right.
We actually saw Stella find another Quasar Diamond in the Crystal Labyrinth and stash it away with her portal-like powers. I personally think it will be used to do a Star Spell to perhaps trap Aaravos, or maybe Aaravos will use possessed Callum to do a Star Spell with it because his Star magic is weakened because he is ‘in a place where stars do not shine’ to escape. Honestly Season 4 set up so many good theories and stuff, I can’t wait for Season 5, which I think will be called Ocean.
I can't accept the Callum slander on this video! :'v Rayla left him just like that on his birthday being gone for 2 years without even a letter and then she cames back and acted like nothing happened, caring so little about how Callum felt. In general Rayllum was managed so poorly like some of the other plot points. They tried to put too much in too little time and space... Plus I disliked how they treated Callum's character. We are told by him he basically got traumatized by being posses by Aravoss, yet both times he tries to talk about it they make it a joke, why setting the seriousness when you gonna end up treating it like it wasn't that big of a deal anywyas... Also Aravoss controlling him in the first place, there was no proper build up to that (as cool as it was). I think they could have done better. In general there are many thing the could have handle better in the season. But well, I still enjoy this show and the characters so I'm sure I will keep watching it even if they screw up things in the long run, I mean, I kept watching SPN until its finale day so... xd
It was a lot to try cram in with everything else, but I have done a Rayllum in S4 video if you'd like my full expanded thoughts. (I give the situation from both perspectives and point out the strengths and flaws in both of them.) I think you raise a really good point about them trying to put too much in with the little time that was actually given. Hopefully they've warmed up a bit now after such a long "break" (very heavy quotation marks) and season 5 will come in strong!
10:50 Callum has been really bad at picking up on a girl's approach invitations for 4 seasons now... Teenage boy, so he probably doesn't understand when a girl is flirting with him and giving him an invitation, but still.
Since terry does sound pretty masculine i wouldn’t be surprised if Claudia helped his transition with dark magic, at least his voice. It would make sense why they would connect with each other, and his acceptance of dark magic.
Also after I realized he was trans take a better look at his shirt thingy, if Claudia didn’t help him with dark magic to transition the I think his vest might also serve as a make-shift binder cause of the way it looks like a mix between a vest and a corset. Also….Terry is too precious that I just really want Claudia to realize the evil she’s doing and stop before she drags him down with her
one of my favorite atla reference is when sorin was going to chase cladiea but the dragon would not go when he said com on or lets go but the dragon went when he went yip yip
I think that girl Rex was talking about is Ezran/Harrow descendant. There was some talks we gonna get a series/comic/movie based on her. She is known as the "Orphan Queen". My guess is that she is the first queen of Katolis. Best episode is episode 4. The only talking scene with Aavaros was the best scene ever.
I definitely agree that Callum should have been more open to Rayla!! Sure, he can be mad for an ep or two, but it took the whole season to get to a hug! ☹️😭 Terry is way too good for Claudia (+ Viren) and I have no frickin clue how he fell in love with her in the first place… but he should have gotten out before he ‘had to’ kill Ibis to save her. 😡 Nope. I’d rather Ibis had been able to finish the job and NOT have died. 🥺💔 I absolutely LOVED Ezran this season!! He’s always been my favorite, and this season only solidified that love and appreciation for his character! He is the most mature kid I’ve ever seen in a show, and his influence on everyone is absolutely priceless!! Also, he’s the best king I’ve ever seen in a show as well. Best king, best bro, best friend, and best animal lover!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️ Also Zym, the two of them go hand in hand as my favorites! 🥰🐉 Could you cover more deeply the scene with Ezran’s speech about hurt and the incredible editing between him, Claudia, and Ibis? That’s my favorite moment in this season, and I’d love to see you zoom in further on it! 😁🙏❤️ You’ve earned my sub! I think you’re super underrated! 😁👍✨
I'm on Callums side, Ralya left on his birthday without even saying goodbye to him face to face and then shows up two years later with nothing to show for it other then a weird looking monkey. She never even apologizes she just expects him to accept everything, then she runs off again well he's asleep comes back and apologizes to Ezran? She honestly seems more sad about leaving Ezran with the way she speaks to him compared to Callum. Oh yeah and she then runs off again to fight three enemy's at once in a collapsing cave which is basically suicide, barely comes back alive with once again nothing to show for it and Callum finally makes up with her even though she keeps purposely hurting him just so she can fight Viren solo when she could do it with him and other allies if she had the foresight of her weird monkey thing.
Thanks so much! I would too honestly, but unfortunately I just don't know enough about it to call out all the Easter eggs. I got a few basic ones like the book Claudia was reading at the start of S1 and the two you mentioned above (especially the boomerang when they first meet Nyx), but that's about it. Maybe I do a community based thing where people can send me stuff; I'll see! Thanks again for watching :)
I think it was an ok season overall, in my opinion it wasn't as good as previous ones, but I hope it will act as a bridge to epic seasons to come. I think the worldbuilding was good, but it did feel a bit rushed in my opinion, especially with the C plot taking up so much time. I felt they often weren't using their time efficiently and were doing unnecessary things instead. I did enjoy watching it though.
@Plumbus C137 to be fair though we don’t entirely know how the cube works. however, with how we’ve observed how the cube works, it generally has to have the corresponding side face the magic for it to glow, so it if were on the inside that could be like a loophole
13:39 To be fair to Claudia, Rayla did push her father off of a cliff and is now holding her boyfriend at knife point and threatening to kill him. Rayla was also partly responsible for Soren getting paralyzed and she was a co-conspirator to killing king Harrow. If Rayla never entered the picture Claudia probably would have ended up in a relationship with Callum and lived happily ever after. Seriously though, Rayla really has to be Claudia's #1 enemy, so yeah, Claudia probably doesn't see much reason to be nice to her. Also Rayla never agreed to the trade, so Claudia had no reason to give Rayla the coins at all anyway. Yeah she tricked Rayla into thinking she threw the actual coins towards the lava which was kind of mean, on the other hand if she had thrown the actual coins towards the lava and risked destroying them, that would have been even worse. I would think Claudia's actions here were much worse if Claudia had agreed to the trade but then tricked Rayla, however since Rayla didn't agree to the trade, it's hard for me to think Claudia acted too cruel here, considering the situation.
16:05 - i think i saw her in one of the Zubeia flashbacks/tales : you can notice her sleeve in the forescreen of shot with tidebound elf (4 episode). Maybe she is a prison key-keeper?
Oh damn, you're so right. What a cool idea. That's awesome you noticed! Hopefully we'll hear more about her in S5? (15:55 in ep4 for anyone wondering btw)
i loved the video and the return of TDP but yeah i think that this thing between callum and rayla is not very in character for callum, i think is just the writers trying to stretch it the most the can to avoid writing a relationship at this point :/
Callum's feelings are justified. She disappears for 2 years very suddenly putting their relationship behind her, but when it suited her she came back and just expected to pick things up where they left off. Its deeply hurtful and she hints at wanting his affection as if he had forgotten and she was nudging him into remembering to be her boyfriend. Maybe I am misremembering but I don't recall her being very sorry for leaving. She seems to understand early on that people might not welcome her but but Ezran's easy acceptance as an all loving hero seemed to give Rayla hope she didn't need to apologize to Callum who obviously wasn't on board with letting go 2 years of rejection.
I watched it all in one night and I'm so happy that there is another person who enjoyed it too 😲. I understand that compared to the other season this one did feel a bit off like the crew is trying to get everything together after a long break. There are some issues with the plot or how things flow but over all I did have a lot of fun watching this season especially with them exploring more of the magical side of the world. I personally really like Terry I feel that there is alot more to him like his cheerful personality like he is using it as a mask or something, but if would be perfectly fine too if he is just genuinely cheerful. Plus Terry is just a lovable character 😌 but he is carry an aura of the death flag 😬 cheerful, likeable, killed, and in love with the antagonist...mmmm now that is a death flag just waiting to go up. I also really like the elf boy that guide the group too heres to hopping that he stays as a main member 🤞. Also didn't like how Callum was angry at Rayla but understandable as she left him for 2 years and its hard when its your first relationship and stuff...plus I'm bias as I really like Raley as a character 😆
I believe the human woman who exposed Aaravos was the first queen of Katolis. Harrow mentions the first queen in one of Viren’s flashbacks in the previous seasons. There wasn’t any reference to her working with the dragons though, literally the only piece of evidence that I’m going off of is Harrow saying the first ruler of Katolis was a queen and the woman that exposed Aaravos resembling Ezran
I think this season hammered the fact that Claudia is irredeemable at this point. Tricking rayla like that with the lives of her parents was especially twisted given that Claudia knows better then anybody what it is like to lose her parents. I'm calling it right here, by the end she either dies or has to be stripped of her powers. Cause at this point, she is a child playing with a hand gun
It does seem like the only resolution to her story is actually for her to die as she learns how devastating the consequences of her actions are. (Still such an amazing character though even with all the very dubious - to say the very least - choices)
Rayla is the one who killed her father... Also Rayla had her boyfriend at knife point and threatened to kill him and wouldn't even agree to the trade with Claudia. Claudia didn't even throw the real coins towards the lava, so there was no chance in them getting destroyed. If Rayla had agreed to the trade and the Claudia tricked her anyway, you might have a point, but Rayla really didn't deserve the coins.
@@MistyKathrine ...From taking over the world while sacrificing herself in the process (and technically he's not dead anymore). Well, of course not, she has no reason to believe her. The point I raise, I think along with a lot of others, is that there was no reason to do what Claudia did; she could've just kept them. In regards to saying she didn't even throw the real ones, I really can't help you see how sick that is. No, she didn't, so Claudia, like I've said, should've just kept them and reasoned another way to get Terry. (It's probably also a good hint when the show even calls out how bad the character's actions were.)
@@EmberNexusYT Rayla's actions were also pretty bad though. Holding someone she doesn't even know at knife point because of her need for revenge to the point where she is unwilling to even make a deal is also pretty bad, especially in the context of a show that has repeatedly talked about how evil the need for revenge is. Cycle of violence, Harrow killing Avizandum, elves killing Harrow etc. Rayla's goals for revenge clash with one of the overarching moral themes for the entire series that vengeance is bad.
14:36 She's not evil though, she's always had a good heart and always tried to do the right thing, however there is a lot of reasons for her to really dislike Rayla and these scene is a lot more complicated than many make it out to be as I explained in my other comment.
I'm waiting for more episodes. Bro, they're keeping us in suspense I'm pretty sure something bad happens to Callum later on. The part where Callum asked Rayla to kill him if Aaravos takes over him again or so... So I'm thinking Aaravos would use Callum against him. So.... Its either Callum self sacrifices himself or something like that... Like I'm just questioning what's gonna happen next. Callum clearly has a big part to play in season 4 can't wait for more episodes.....I'm getting over excited. Plus idk what to watch on Netflix rn...
While this season was enjoyable, you guys need to stop lying to yourselves: it was pretty underwhelming. The season was incredibly slow paced and felt like 3 episodes stretched out into 9. They went heavy on the jokes (and making Soren the humor character) and most of them just didn’t land. The sun elves storyline was also pretty pointless and just felt like filler content, and they turned a petty dispute into a season-wide major conflict. This season was also titled “The Mystery of Aaravos”, but we really do get is a couple minute lore dump that explains everything and that’s kind of it, you’d think they’d at least find where he’s at but the heroes didn’t even get the map. The last episode was the best, but that’s should’ve been the standard for the rest of the episodes. They also didn’t deliver well on the important reconnections like Soren/Claudia, Soren/Viren, and Callum/Rayla.
I definitely agree, there was some really good moments but moments but most of it really seemed badly executed. Especially when the official account hinted at dark Callum but we only got like 2 scenes of it. And Rayllum was also done bad, rayla didn’t properly apologise to Callum and expects everything to go back to the way it was
100% agree, the show starts at a B, the lore and worldbuilding was that good s1-3, but folks are fooling themselves that this wasn't disappointing after that long of a break, and definitely the most underwhelming of the seasons. The Lux Aurea storyline was dull and drawn out 5 episodes too long, important events happened off screen and aren't developed (Claudia living at the Spire, not getting caught, and meeting Terry, Rayla leaving, etc), the jokes went overboard for a show addressing "mature" themes and didn't land (e.g. the fart jokes), I don't buy that Terry would be with the villains group for even a second without asking more questions or that Claudia would be attracted to him, and the moth creature not being able to speak for Aarovos goes unexplained and could have been used for a season named after him, and the entire season is rushed at times, at the end and the Aarovos lore parts, but otherwise just doesn't have a lot happening as Created said. Callum not immediately forgiving Rayla was the BEST part of the season for me.
The only criticism, if you can call it that, that I have on Terry is just his placement being aligned with the villains. I don’t really comment on trans rights or representation cause I don’t have a rat in that race, I’m never bothered by it unless it’s hamfisted and comes with hours of social commentary that don’t affect the story. Terry’s scene where he tells Viren that everyone treated him like a “doe” when he knew he was a “buck” was a wonderful way of telling us and Viren that Terry was trans. The thing that confuses me is that they’re making the good guys wholly intolerant of trans elves/humans?? I mean I understand that all the different elves aren’t monolithic in beliefs, but it does just kinda suck that it’s now established lore that “Earthblood elves are kinda dicks in multiple different ways” with them ostracizing Terry and being pretty cruel with their treatment of the drakes in the Drakewood.
I am sure there is a problem with time management in this season. Even in the video you did, there's so much information in short time. Probably you work like that, it's ok, but this franchise need more time on screen, or more "chapters" in every "book".
Please tell me that I am not the only one who thought the trial in episode 6 was bullshit. That was the worst defense anybody could ever ask for. It sounded like a child came up with that defense.
Question I have is what is Terry...is he a girl? That is dressing as a male? Other videos suggest this. I feel he is a (he) but is small in comparison to the rest of his clan...as he said he is referred to as a doe.
Terry is confirmed to be Trans (as he mentions in I think ep 6 or 7 to Viren). He was born a girl but isn't now. (Hence the "doe -> buck" thing he mentions.)
Yeah it looks pretty and there are nice character moments, but the writing is just so weak overall and the pacing is completely messed up. The characters are all ferried along this "retrieve a thing" quest which just gives off so many Rise of Skywalker vibes and it is boring beyond imagination. Not to mention that whole thing in the dragons lair. Rayla and Soren talk OUT LOUD (in a cavern which we see carries echo BTW) like two steps away and NONE of the four villains hear them??? Nobody, not even the giant pissed off arch-dragon who HATES intruders, tries to stop Claudia during the ENTIRE time of her lullaby thing??? Why aren't these people doing anything? The world is at stake supposedly but nobody seems like they give an ounce of shit about it. It's like the complete inverse of Primal, everybody just talks incessantly and commits no actions at all. It's so jarring compared to how everybody acted in the series thus far. I liked Soren. I liked Zubaia. I liked Soren and Zubaia interacting. Perhaps cos their VA's seem to be the only ones of the main cast giving a proper shit. I'm pretty sure they used a computer generated voice for Ezran. Terry is the absolute worst, he can go fucking die off-screen. Fuck Terry. Also the council of Katolis cos why are they even in this? None of them do anything. I hope for things getting better but I won't expect anything.
I honestly didn’t think it was that spectacular I thought there was gonna be more it was very underwhelming… don’t get me wrong it was good I just felt empty after watching it.. and I’m a huge huge fan of this show!! hopefully we don’t have to wait long for the next season.. great video as always! 🤗🫶🏻
Coming off of rewatching the previous three seasons again beforehand, I agree. However, once you put in perspective this was an "act 1" season, they covered an insane amount very quickly and in quite amazing depth. (I think that emptiness feeling will probably go away once we're able to watch S5 straight after...) Season 5 is going to be amazing! Thanks so much! :)
I personally thought it was the weakest season by far, and have been hearing the same from others, so it's good to know that at least there are opposite opinions around.
I agree. Even if i concede that this season is meant to be a kind of act 1, but we've seen some amazing things already happen in the previous seasons, why not build on that a bit more, do a bit more world building + lore exploration than just exposition. Instead they just did fart jokes.
The best scene of the ENTIRE season is when Rayla declair herself Stella's mother, u can't change my mind.
"She is an orphan, or she wAas. Now she has got a cluddle-mama *nose kiss*"
the scene callum said he loves moon--- rayla stares with joy -- uuhmm opals then she sighs :D
@@emreiskgor9838 I love how her face isn't one of "oh good i loves him so much" but yes one of "MOON ones hum?????" and do that face just to joke with him, but i'm pretty sure she had a mix of feeling HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA
You are both spot on. If I had to pick two scenes for cuteness, it'd be "nose-kisses" and "the moon ones are the prettiest"
Something that made me happy was that "trees to meet you" is a phrase earthblood elves actually say.
@@IAmSchwi OMG YES YESSS
Iunno, I think Callum is sorta justified in his feelings. I mean Rayla was gone for two years, she could have at least sent him a letter or something but he was left not even knowing if she was still alive…and she left on his bday at that. She just showed up and acted like nothing happened, so I get it. I think some of his distance has to do with Aaravos using him as a puppet in ep. 4. He might be scared to get close again with him being an obv target for Aaravos.
Yes completely agreed
Yeah that was something that bothered me as well.
It seems the presentation implied that Rayla was justified in her actions - which she was. She felt a heavy burden and fear and she needed to take care of herself.
The issue is that in a relationship, being considerate of your partner's feelings is important, and Rayla really did that wrong by leaving without saying a thing. And even moreso when she finally showed up again, she didn't even attempt a proper apology. "I know I hurt you." is acknowledgement of a mistake, but it isn't an apology. And without an apology after all that happened, I think it's more than fair that Callum remained cold for as long as he did.
To further this point, I think its worth noting that after Rayla asked Callum to stay with her in the tower for the night, she once again left in the morning without saying anything. In a way, it sends a message that she may not have learned anything from this whole situation. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a point for conflict further down in the story.
But with that said, I think the lukewarm reconciliation at the end of this season leaves a lot of room to really expand on the Rayllum character dynamic in either the next seasons of a tie-in comic.
@@ernestng6780 yeah tbh i think they both are justified of their actions they both had motives and made mistakes, but i'm glad they made up in the end, when Rayla almost died Callum realized how much he cares for her
@@ThePokemonPrinceYT I just hope they address these unresolved mistakes they've made in the next season. 9 episodes definitely wasn't enough time to handle the main plot (especially with 3 major plotlines concurrently) and flesh out the relationship issues, but I'd definitely be disappointed if in season 5 they kind of brush it aside.
That said I'm glad they didn't rush a reconciliation without tackling the issues either, I think that would have been fanservice at best and bad writing at worst.
The ending was really sweet though, I'm with you on that
@@ernestng6780 Callum could let Rayla leave, he understand her feelings and sorry her. But Rayla never really said sorry because Callum doesn't let her do so, she isn't ready to forgive her so he doesn't want to her to say sorry. I really miss a "sorry" from Rayla, but i think that will be more worked in future season, when they stop to explain why Rayla really come back, what happened to her in that time.
I actually like how Callum was mad with Rayla at first. I would be too. If the woman I love left suddenly, leaving only a note for me to know where she went, and then didn't stay in contact so I could at least know she was alive and well, I'd be pretty damn pissed.
And I also like how Aaravos didn't fully strangle Callum. I think it's a Sonic 06 Mephiles killing sonic situation, where his decision seems stupid on the surface but is actually genius. Aaravos is a smart villain, and with the scene of Callum asking Rayla to kill him, it makes me think he kept Callum alive on purpose so he can use them later.
Aaravos def plans to use Callum again and Callum knows and it’s already eating at him. I mean I think some of Callum’s coldness is cause he’s still mad, but I also think he’s worrying about her getting hurt if Aaravos possessed him again. I mean when he suggested Soren go with Rayla he talks to Ezren and Ezren thinks Callum is messed up caused he’s still mad at Rayla, but what was actually bothering him still was Aaravos using him as a puppet.
Honestly I think Callum’s fears of being used by Aaravos again is part of what will lead him right into his hands.
Bet Callum self sacrifices in the show later on or some effed up shit happens
The Human girl they mention several times is the ancestor of Harrow and Ezran who would go on to become Queen of Katolis. There is an upcoming story, The Orphan Queen, that will explore her story.
Im on callums side with this one gone 2 years without a word and he just suppose not be mad and forgive her nah she is going to have to earn it
Actually that girl who reminds Rex of Ezran is propobly the Orphan Queen. One of Ezran's great great great great... (you get the point) grandmother who was friends with Aaravos at some point. That's how Harrow's family got the rune cube.
callum has every right to be mad, i mean she leaves him in on his birthday and she shows up two years later and acts like nothing happened like wtf
Now that I watched all of S4, I am genuinely curious on why Terry not only chose to date Claudia ( a human and a dark mage), but is seemingly going along with all the dark magic involved in order to free Aaravos. We don't know much about his past, but it is pretty easy to assume that earthblood elves were not inmune to the anti-human propaganda or how dark magic is inherently dangerous.
Like you mentioned, It is heavily hinted that Terry had a difficult childhood due to being trans. Probably, the treatment was so rough that he started searching for love and acceptance somewhere else, including a very pretty dark mage going through a though time.
I would love to see either a graphic novel or more episodes in S5 focused on those two years Claudia had to basically be all alone in Xadia to revive his father and her meeting Terry, That would be amazing!
Seeing a flashback episode or something or the sorts would be awesome for how they met and everything since!
Could Terry be the downfall of Claudia if he decides to "swap sides" lol? That would hurt ngl
Bro I loved you video, and yes I agree Rayla is absolutely beautiful this season. Also loved you simple reviews and yes I can’t wait for more Rayllum moments and sweet things happening next season, wide as we know it will come out way sooner, hopefully summer 2023!! Rayllum forever! Great video again, earned a subscriber
I know right?! I have a Rayllum video next ;) Thank you so much!!
@@EmberNexusYT can’t wait bro, love Rayllum so much! Looking forward to the video! Keep up the good work man
When the baker said brown goey pastry I was screaming CHOCOLATE, ITS CHOCOLATE behind the screen and when it's ezran's turn to give stuff I knew he was eventually gonna give them Chocolate tarts
Callum is 100% justified. He helped her see the dead and she almost died because he let her go alone. He tells her that if she wants to go investigate Viren, then they should go together. And despite agreeing, she ghosted him. She abandoned him with just a goodbye letter for 2 years. Thats very scaring in a relationship, especially for someone as emotional as callum. And while Rayla is trying, she clearly doesn’t understand how she mess things up. As proof, unlike with Ezran, she never apologized to Callum.
I mean, I love them, and I definitely think they are a great combo. But I also think that Duty for rayla can be a flaw that will lead her to make these mistakes and that it had to be explored now. Especially before the whole Aaravos debacle starts.
Honestly I was more annoyed with Rayla than Callum. She didn't even say sorry. Although, I will say it makes sense for her character. She seems to have zero social understanding. In reality, they really just need a good long chat to air out everything to each other.
I'd be down to watch them chat honestly (and with no interruptions too would be nice)
That would be aprecated!
Terry is too pure for this world and has to be protected from the mean earthblood elves who value animal cruelty and toxic masculinity above all else(and I tought they are a chill druid society)
AND ARE PROBABILLY TRANSPHOBIC!!!
@@dodozinha1508 with how he was acting in regards to his childhood definitely, "Back when everyone thought i was a doe" could mean he tried to come out but no one accepted him or worse tried to force him into believing he was wrong. Of course there's also the chance he was just to scared to tell them but after the episode we saw of them i don't think they're that open to differences, especial one like Terry's case, not say him begin trans is bad just that the others in his village probably didn't understand or like the difference it made.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVED HIM FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIM *IN THE TRAILER* he is amazing he is my favorite he must be protected, also yes the earthblood elves do suck i thought they'd be nicer but NO. so ye. lol
@@ardeni8385 I also thought Earthblood elves would be really nice for some reason 💀
@@ardeni8385 hopefully next season will confirm those we've seen are considered savaves even among other earthblood elves, sunfire elves have some religious zealots too who should be classified as dragon food, Karim did nothing to change my mind, upon rewatch he is even more annoying
Nah man, the one outta pocket over here is rayla, at least she could have said sorry once. She even admitted to doing the wrong thing by leaving. But overall I blame it on the pacing of this season, felt too much like a bridge season where nothing important happened until the very end. Hopefully next season will be better.
Season 4 is considered an "act 1" season so I think it's understandable you feel like nothing particularly important happened until the end. I partially agree, but there was a ton of great set-up to ready the rest of phase 2/the show
The end credit pictures of episode 9 show Viren passing out like Callum when he first used dark magic. It could mean Viren will go through the same thing Callum did and obtain a primal source
Oh yeah... Damn, I didn't think about that! Hopefully it more means he holds off on dark magic a little more rather than learning a primal (because that could be terrifying)
15:34 I'm Glad This Happened. Cause Next Season I Want An Apology In Advanced For Rayla Leaving On Callum's Birthday.
Dragon Prince Theories
1. Aaravos' Guide looks like Gollum (Picture Riddles?).
2. We know the Tidebound Elves are involved in Aaravos' prison.
3. Clue to Prison Theory
- Sky Archdragon: The Mirror = The Prison's appearance
- Earth Archdragon: The Map = The Location of the Prison
- Ocean Archdragon: The Blueprint = Entrance and features of the prison
4. There are no Star Archdragons but only Void Dragons and Star Devouring Dragons.
5. The Key of Aaravos reminds me of the One Ring (Callum couldn't drop it in the lava).
6. Viren became unconscious like Callum when he reused Dark Magic. He might go through the same mind journey Callum went through and find his primal source (Likely Star Magic?). The end credits images of Episode 9 showed Viren in his Dark Magic form, becoming exhausted, and collapsing like Callum did when he first used Dark Magic.
Book 5: Ocean Theories
1. The Tidebound Elves are well known for their powerful magic.
2. The Tidebound Elves are needed to help free Rayla's Parents and Runaan.
3. The Blueprint of Aaravos' prison is guarded by the Ocean Archdragon.
4. With the blueprint, Claudia's group will free Aaravos in Book 6: Star.
5. Team Zym will meet descendants of the Tidebound Elves who crafted the prison.
6. Rayla hates water so she will be scared underwater at Tidebound Archipelago.
7. Rayla's reunion and future relationship with her parents is similar to the relationship between Nya and her parents in Ninjago Season 14 Seabound. An overcaring mother who wants to spend more time with her daughter with a supporting father.
8. Rayla and her parents' reunion example: th-cam.com/video/HkQxvAi4lak/w-d-xo.html
Character Similarities to other Stories
1. Aaravos reminds me of Sauron (Annatar) and Darth Sidious.
2. Viren is like Count Dooku and Saruman combined.
3. Claudia reminds me of Morgan Le Fay
4. Callum reminds me of Anakin Skywalker, Merlin, and Frodo.
5. Ezran reminds me of Bran Stark, Aragorn, and King Arthur.
6. Rex Igneous reminds me of Smaug and Nelfarion (Deathwing).
7. The Startouch Elves remind of the Maiar (Lower Ainur).
Dragon Prince Location Similarities to other Stories
1. Umber Tor reminds me of Erebor.
2. Tidebound Archipelago will probably look like Atlantis
Very good season! Had a fun watching with some little bits of wisdom along the way. Excited for the next 3 seasons since it was renewed for 5,6 & 7
The women is definitely Ezrans ancestors IMO. Lots of cool world building in these episodes. I am sure the 3 Quasar diamonds will play into how they defeat Avaroos or something. My pet theory in the end Claudia will help be the reason they defeat Aravoos because deep down she has good. Claudia’s intentions to serve her dad and be a good daughter at any cost is just blinding her to what is right.
God I hope so, I forgot that seasons are only 9 episodes
We actually saw Stella find another Quasar Diamond in the Crystal Labyrinth and stash it away with her portal-like powers.
I personally think it will be used to do a Star Spell to perhaps trap Aaravos, or maybe Aaravos will use possessed Callum to do a Star Spell with it because his Star magic is weakened because he is ‘in a place where stars do not shine’ to escape.
Honestly Season 4 set up so many good theories and stuff, I can’t wait for Season 5, which I think will be called Ocean.
I can't accept the Callum slander on this video! :'v
Rayla left him just like that on his birthday being gone for 2 years without even a letter and then she cames back and acted like nothing happened, caring so little about how Callum felt.
In general Rayllum was managed so poorly like some of the other plot points. They tried to put too much in too little time and space... Plus I disliked how they treated Callum's character. We are told by him he basically got traumatized by being posses by Aravoss, yet both times he tries to talk about it they make it a joke, why setting the seriousness when you gonna end up treating it like it wasn't that big of a deal anywyas... Also Aravoss controlling him in the first place, there was no proper build up to that (as cool as it was). I think they could have done better. In general there are many thing the could have handle better in the season.
But well, I still enjoy this show and the characters so I'm sure I will keep watching it even if they screw up things in the long run, I mean, I kept watching SPN until its finale day so... xd
It was a lot to try cram in with everything else, but I have done a Rayllum in S4 video if you'd like my full expanded thoughts. (I give the situation from both perspectives and point out the strengths and flaws in both of them.)
I think you raise a really good point about them trying to put too much in with the little time that was actually given.
Hopefully they've warmed up a bit now after such a long "break" (very heavy quotation marks) and season 5 will come in strong!
10:50 Callum has been really bad at picking up on a girl's approach invitations for 4 seasons now... Teenage boy, so he probably doesn't understand when a girl is flirting with him and giving him an invitation, but still.
Your wording is so much better than mine lol
Since terry does sound pretty masculine i wouldn’t be surprised if Claudia helped his transition with dark magic, at least his voice. It would make sense why they would connect with each other, and his acceptance of dark magic.
Also after I realized he was trans take a better look at his shirt thingy, if Claudia didn’t help him with dark magic to transition the I think his vest might also serve as a make-shift binder cause of the way it looks like a mix between a vest and a corset. Also….Terry is too precious that I just really want Claudia to realize the evil she’s doing and stop before she drags him down with her
Interesting theory. That would be a nice way to tighten their relationship
One of your best videos yet for sure :) Season 4 was great like you said!
Thanks a ton, I really appreciate that!
The call backs/Easter eggs to ATLA were awesome too
i agree, i screamed when soren said yip yip to the dragon named sqeaky, hope we get to see that dragon again next season
I don’t get why Zubeia didn’t just blast through the wall of boulders at Umber Tor’s main entrance…
one of my favorite atla reference is when sorin was going to chase cladiea but the dragon would not go when he said com on or lets go but the dragon went when he went yip yip
I think that girl Rex was talking about is Ezran/Harrow descendant. There was some talks we gonna get a series/comic/movie based on her. She is known as the "Orphan Queen". My guess is that she is the first queen of Katolis.
Best episode is episode 4. The only talking scene with Aavaros was the best scene ever.
That's pretty cool! It'll be nice to (hopefully) get some more backstory about her in season 5!
@@EmberNexusYT yeah.
My bad, the orphan queen is actually their ancestor lol.
I hope after that hug we will get to see more Rayllum in the next 3 seasons.
I definitely agree that Callum should have been more open to Rayla!! Sure, he can be mad for an ep or two, but it took the whole season to get to a hug! ☹️😭
Terry is way too good for Claudia (+ Viren) and I have no frickin clue how he fell in love with her in the first place… but he should have gotten out before he ‘had to’ kill Ibis to save her. 😡 Nope. I’d rather Ibis had been able to finish the job and NOT have died. 🥺💔
I absolutely LOVED Ezran this season!! He’s always been my favorite, and this season only solidified that love and appreciation for his character! He is the most mature kid I’ve ever seen in a show, and his influence on everyone is absolutely priceless!! Also, he’s the best king I’ve ever seen in a show as well. Best king, best bro, best friend, and best animal lover!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️ Also Zym, the two of them go hand in hand as my favorites! 🥰🐉
Could you cover more deeply the scene with Ezran’s speech about hurt and the incredible editing between him, Claudia, and Ibis? That’s my favorite moment in this season, and I’d love to see you zoom in further on it! 😁🙏❤️
You’ve earned my sub! I think you’re super underrated! 😁👍✨
Watch us not get a kiss until season 6, they’ll make us wait three seasons again for it 😂
Thanks! That's super appreciated :) Ezran has always been great 😁 Absolutely, I'll see what I can do!!
@@vixiestarfire STOP NOOOO 😭😂
@@EmberNexusYT Heck yes!! 😁✨👑 Awesome, thanks!! 🙏❤️
@@vixiestarfire Lmao, I hope not... But I can't help but feel you're right ahh
I'm on Callums side, Ralya left on his birthday without even saying goodbye to him face to face and then shows up two years later with nothing to show for it other then a weird looking monkey. She never even apologizes she just expects him to accept everything, then she runs off again well he's asleep comes back and apologizes to Ezran? She honestly seems more sad about leaving Ezran with the way she speaks to him compared to Callum. Oh yeah and she then runs off again to fight three enemy's at once in a collapsing cave which is basically suicide, barely comes back alive with once again nothing to show for it and Callum finally makes up with her even though she keeps purposely hurting him just so she can fight Viren solo when she could do it with him and other allies if she had the foresight of her weird monkey thing.
I actually loved it
Tho I wish we get more
16:06 😂 Again The Double Face Reaction Never Gets Old.
One of my favorite shots! It's a double double face!
Great video! I would love you to go over the Avatar the last airbender references like the yip yip and the boomerang
Thanks so much! I would too honestly, but unfortunately I just don't know enough about it to call out all the Easter eggs.
I got a few basic ones like the book Claudia was reading at the start of S1 and the two you mentioned above (especially the boomerang when they first meet Nyx), but that's about it. Maybe I do a community based thing where people can send me stuff; I'll see!
Thanks again for watching :)
I think it was an ok season overall, in my opinion it wasn't as good as previous ones, but I hope it will act as a bridge to epic seasons to come. I think the worldbuilding was good, but it did feel a bit rushed in my opinion, especially with the C plot taking up so much time. I felt they often weren't using their time efficiently and were doing unnecessary things instead. I did enjoy watching it though.
I feel like we're on similar lines; it wasn't my favorite season, but all the opportunities it sets up for act 2 & 3 of phase 2 is awesome.
i think one of the rare star crystals is in the key of aravos
I really wish I had thought of that myself. It's genius!
@Plumbus C137 Eh.... majik?
@Plumbus C137 to be fair though we don’t entirely know how the cube works. however, with how we’ve observed how the cube works, it generally has to have the corresponding side face the magic for it to glow, so it if were on the inside that could be like a loophole
13:39 To be fair to Claudia, Rayla did push her father off of a cliff and is now holding her boyfriend at knife point and threatening to kill him. Rayla was also partly responsible for Soren getting paralyzed and she was a co-conspirator to killing king Harrow. If Rayla never entered the picture Claudia probably would have ended up in a relationship with Callum and lived happily ever after. Seriously though, Rayla really has to be Claudia's #1 enemy, so yeah, Claudia probably doesn't see much reason to be nice to her.
Also Rayla never agreed to the trade, so Claudia had no reason to give Rayla the coins at all anyway. Yeah she tricked Rayla into thinking she threw the actual coins towards the lava which was kind of mean, on the other hand if she had thrown the actual coins towards the lava and risked destroying them, that would have been even worse. I would think Claudia's actions here were much worse if Claudia had agreed to the trade but then tricked Rayla, however since Rayla didn't agree to the trade, it's hard for me to think Claudia acted too cruel here, considering the situation.
16:05 - i think i saw her in one of the Zubeia flashbacks/tales : you can notice her sleeve in the forescreen of shot with tidebound elf (4 episode). Maybe she is a prison key-keeper?
Oh damn, you're so right. What a cool idea. That's awesome you noticed! Hopefully we'll hear more about her in S5?
(15:55 in ep4 for anyone wondering btw)
10:30 What? She was referering to when he was badly hurt and paralyzed earlier in the show
That was the orphan queen the one that found aaravos being the betrayer
i loved the video and the return of TDP but yeah i think that this thing between callum and rayla is not very in character for callum, i think is just the writers trying to stretch it the most the can to avoid writing a relationship at this point :/
I honestly couldn't get that far into it.. The humor and some character choices made me wonder what happened to the team behind the show.
Man screw that noise Rayla aint shit this season
Callum's feelings are justified.
She disappears for 2 years very suddenly putting their relationship behind her, but when it suited her she came back and just expected to pick things up where they left off. Its deeply hurtful and she hints at wanting his affection as if he had forgotten and she was nudging him into remembering to be her boyfriend. Maybe I am misremembering but I don't recall her being very sorry for leaving. She seems to understand early on that people might not welcome her but but Ezran's easy acceptance as an all loving hero seemed to give Rayla hope she didn't need to apologize to Callum who obviously wasn't on board with letting go 2 years of rejection.
10:12 They Say "Don't Go Towards The Light." For A Reason. 😱
I watched it all in one night and I'm so happy that there is another person who enjoyed it too 😲. I understand that compared to the other season this one did feel a bit off like the crew is trying to get everything together after a long break. There are some issues with the plot or how things flow but over all I did have a lot of fun watching this season especially with them exploring more of the magical side of the world. I personally really like Terry I feel that there is alot more to him like his cheerful personality like he is using it as a mask or something, but if would be perfectly fine too if he is just genuinely cheerful. Plus Terry is just a lovable character 😌 but he is carry an aura of the death flag 😬 cheerful, likeable, killed, and in love with the antagonist...mmmm now that is a death flag just waiting to go up. I also really like the elf boy that guide the group too heres to hopping that he stays as a main member 🤞. Also didn't like how Callum was angry at Rayla but understandable as she left him for 2 years and its hard when its your first relationship and stuff...plus I'm bias as I really like Raley as a character 😆
I believe the human woman who exposed Aaravos was the first queen of Katolis. Harrow mentions the first queen in one of Viren’s flashbacks in the previous seasons. There wasn’t any reference to her working with the dragons though, literally the only piece of evidence that I’m going off of is Harrow saying the first ruler of Katolis was a queen and the woman that exposed Aaravos resembling Ezran
I've only had N'than for half a season, but if anything happens to him I'm killing everyone in this room and then myself.
I liked the season until I realized its just half of a season
I think this season hammered the fact that Claudia is irredeemable at this point. Tricking rayla like that with the lives of her parents was especially twisted given that Claudia knows better then anybody what it is like to lose her parents.
I'm calling it right here, by the end she either dies or has to be stripped of her powers. Cause at this point, she is a child playing with a hand gun
It does seem like the only resolution to her story is actually for her to die as she learns how devastating the consequences of her actions are.
(Still such an amazing character though even with all the very dubious - to say the very least - choices)
Rayla is the one who killed her father... Also Rayla had her boyfriend at knife point and threatened to kill him and wouldn't even agree to the trade with Claudia. Claudia didn't even throw the real coins towards the lava, so there was no chance in them getting destroyed. If Rayla had agreed to the trade and the Claudia tricked her anyway, you might have a point, but Rayla really didn't deserve the coins.
@@MistyKathrine ...From taking over the world while sacrificing herself in the process (and technically he's not dead anymore). Well, of course not, she has no reason to believe her. The point I raise, I think along with a lot of others, is that there was no reason to do what Claudia did; she could've just kept them. In regards to saying she didn't even throw the real ones, I really can't help you see how sick that is. No, she didn't, so Claudia, like I've said, should've just kept them and reasoned another way to get Terry. (It's probably also a good hint when the show even calls out how bad the character's actions were.)
@@EmberNexusYT Rayla's actions were also pretty bad though. Holding someone she doesn't even know at knife point because of her need for revenge to the point where she is unwilling to even make a deal is also pretty bad, especially in the context of a show that has repeatedly talked about how evil the need for revenge is. Cycle of violence, Harrow killing Avizandum, elves killing Harrow etc.
Rayla's goals for revenge clash with one of the overarching moral themes for the entire series that vengeance is bad.
I loved it
Finallyyyy
14:36 She's not evil though, she's always had a good heart and always tried to do the right thing, however there is a lot of reasons for her to really dislike Rayla and these scene is a lot more complicated than many make it out to be as I explained in my other comment.
I'm waiting for more episodes.
Bro, they're keeping us in suspense
I'm pretty sure something bad happens to Callum later on.
The part where Callum asked Rayla to kill him if Aaravos takes over him again or so...
So I'm thinking Aaravos would use Callum against him. So....
Its either Callum self sacrifices himself or something like that...
Like I'm just questioning what's gonna happen next. Callum clearly has a big part to play in season 4 can't wait for more episodes.....I'm getting over excited. Plus idk what to watch on Netflix rn...
Season 5 is likely to be at least six months away... but dw, we'll all be waiting together. At least it won't be three years! (hopefully >~
@@EmberNexusYT I know right.
Imagine if they brought out a few more episodes this month lmao.
Does anyone else think that Callum can be mentally stupid something and Rayla has to keep him in check
While this season was enjoyable, you guys need to stop lying to yourselves: it was pretty underwhelming. The season was incredibly slow paced and felt like 3 episodes stretched out into 9. They went heavy on the jokes (and making Soren the humor character) and most of them just didn’t land. The sun elves storyline was also pretty pointless and just felt like filler content, and they turned a petty dispute into a season-wide major conflict. This season was also titled “The Mystery of Aaravos”, but we really do get is a couple minute lore dump that explains everything and that’s kind of it, you’d think they’d at least find where he’s at but the heroes didn’t even get the map. The last episode was the best, but that’s should’ve been the standard for the rest of the episodes. They also didn’t deliver well on the important reconnections like Soren/Claudia, Soren/Viren, and Callum/Rayla.
I definitely agree, there was some really good moments but moments but most of it really seemed badly executed. Especially when the official account hinted at dark Callum but we only got like 2 scenes of it. And Rayllum was also done bad, rayla didn’t properly apologise to Callum and expects everything to go back to the way it was
100% agree, the show starts at a B, the lore and worldbuilding was that good s1-3, but folks are fooling themselves that this wasn't disappointing after that long of a break, and definitely the most underwhelming of the seasons. The Lux Aurea storyline was dull and drawn out 5 episodes too long, important events happened off screen and aren't developed (Claudia living at the Spire, not getting caught, and meeting Terry, Rayla leaving, etc), the jokes went overboard for a show addressing "mature" themes and didn't land (e.g. the fart jokes), I don't buy that Terry would be with the villains group for even a second without asking more questions or that Claudia would be attracted to him, and the moth creature not being able to speak for Aarovos goes unexplained and could have been used for a season named after him, and the entire season is rushed at times, at the end and the Aarovos lore parts, but otherwise just doesn't have a lot happening as Created said.
Callum not immediately forgiving Rayla was the BEST part of the season for me.
The only criticism, if you can call it that, that I have on Terry is just his placement being aligned with the villains. I don’t really comment on trans rights or representation cause I don’t have a rat in that race, I’m never bothered by it unless it’s hamfisted and comes with hours of social commentary that don’t affect the story. Terry’s scene where he tells Viren that everyone treated him like a “doe” when he knew he was a “buck” was a wonderful way of telling us and Viren that Terry was trans. The thing that confuses me is that they’re making the good guys wholly intolerant of trans elves/humans?? I mean I understand that all the different elves aren’t monolithic in beliefs, but it does just kinda suck that it’s now established lore that “Earthblood elves are kinda dicks in multiple different ways” with them ostracizing Terry and being pretty cruel with their treatment of the drakes in the Drakewood.
I am sure there is a problem with time management in this season.
Even in the video you did, there's so much information in short time.
Probably you work like that, it's ok, but this franchise need more time on screen, or more "chapters" in every "book".
I'm hoping to have longer videos in the coming year so I can cover things in more depth! Thank you for the feedback :)
Please tell me that I am not the only one who thought the trial in episode 6 was bullshit. That was the worst defense anybody could ever ask for. It sounded like a child came up with that defense.
It is not the words that matters - it is the person the words were for. It was about knowing the heart of the listener.
Question I have is what is Terry...is he a girl? That is dressing as a male? Other videos suggest this. I feel he is a (he) but is small in comparison to the rest of his clan...as he said he is referred to as a doe.
Terry is confirmed to be Trans (as he mentions in I think ep 6 or 7 to Viren). He was born a girl but isn't now. (Hence the "doe -> buck" thing he mentions.)
I think Veran will die to free Aravos, why would Aravos spend so much effort in trying to keep him alive.
Honestly, I kinda think so too. He'll be forced to sacrifice or something
spectacular?
did we watch the same show? 😭
coming off the heels of season 3-this season was a big letdown.
You missed the Easter egg of avatar
Season 4 was a mess. I liked it, but it was just a mess.
Yeah it looks pretty and there are nice character moments, but the writing is just so weak overall and the pacing is completely messed up. The characters are all ferried along this "retrieve a thing" quest which just gives off so many Rise of Skywalker vibes and it is boring beyond imagination. Not to mention that whole thing in the dragons lair. Rayla and Soren talk OUT LOUD (in a cavern which we see carries echo BTW) like two steps away and NONE of the four villains hear them??? Nobody, not even the giant pissed off arch-dragon who HATES intruders, tries to stop Claudia during the ENTIRE time of her lullaby thing??? Why aren't these people doing anything? The world is at stake supposedly but nobody seems like they give an ounce of shit about it. It's like the complete inverse of Primal, everybody just talks incessantly and commits no actions at all. It's so jarring compared to how everybody acted in the series thus far.
I liked Soren. I liked Zubaia. I liked Soren and Zubaia interacting. Perhaps cos their VA's seem to be the only ones of the main cast giving a proper shit. I'm pretty sure they used a computer generated voice for Ezran.
Terry is the absolute worst, he can go fucking die off-screen. Fuck Terry. Also the council of Katolis cos why are they even in this? None of them do anything.
I hope for things getting better but I won't expect anything.
I honestly didn’t think it was that spectacular I thought there was gonna be more it was very underwhelming… don’t get me wrong it was good I just felt empty after watching it.. and I’m a huge huge fan of this show!! hopefully we don’t have to wait long for the next season.. great video as always! 🤗🫶🏻
Coming off of rewatching the previous three seasons again beforehand, I agree. However, once you put in perspective this was an "act 1" season, they covered an insane amount very quickly and in quite amazing depth. (I think that emptiness feeling will probably go away once we're able to watch S5 straight after...)
Season 5 is going to be amazing! Thanks so much! :)
@@EmberNexusYT I agree with you on that for sure. I hope they don’t take long for season 5 lol
@@rawrxheather ...can't be any longer than the wait for this season...
(this is not a challenge Wonderstorm 😭)
@@EmberNexusYT Right lol don’t do that to us lol
Are you serious mean 4 there is beat 44444 there’s no 3 it is 4 in there
I didn't like it as much as the previous seasons, something feels off, maybe toned down? More childish jokes maybe? Dunno, but I'm not convinced
I personally thought it was the weakest season by far, and have been hearing the same from others, so it's good to know that at least there are opposite opinions around.
I agree. Even if i concede that this season is meant to be a kind of act 1, but we've seen some amazing things already happen in the previous seasons, why not build on that a bit more, do a bit more world building + lore exploration than just exposition. Instead they just did fart jokes.
