I mean, that is the main storyline for every poorly written pacifist in fiction. "I have decided not to engage in violence or killing because backstory/beliefs/oaths" "But have you considered.....some people are bad?" "You know what, that never occurred to me, guess I'll abandon my lifelong principles after this one conversation!"
@@nomisunrider6472 I thought that Aang struggled with that conundrum pretty realistically, especially for a child, but then was just handed an unearned convenient out from the problem.
@@bharl7226 Nope. There was never going to be a point where Aang killed Ozai, because that would have proved Ozai right that the airbenders and their culture had no place in the world. It was Aang's spiritual training with the monks that brought him to the lion turtle and let him find a deeper solution. It wasn't him dodging the choice, it was him realizing that things weren't as simple as he thought, which is a major theme of the show.
@@nomisunrider6472 I disagree. I agree that they were never going to have Aang kill Ozai, but I don’t agree with that reasoning for why. Killing a killer doesn’t automatically make you as bad as them nor does it prove the killer right in their reasons to kill. That is the childish rationalization of unrealistic kiddy fiction which wants to (or must, in order to remain on the air, or maintain their family friendly rating) avoid killing at all costs. And you can rationalize the lion turtle deus ex out of nowhere solution with underlying reasoning if you like, but since that underlying reasoning wasn’t portrayed or earned in the actual show, it falls flat and comes across as dodging the choice imo. And because he was given a solution without having to struggle and work for it, which that struggle and effort is what made his journey up to that point such a narratively fulfilling character arc, it flattens/deflates the climax of his arc and ignores the last real change he could have gone through as a person. It was an unsatisfying ending for me because it was too fast and too easy of a solution after all that struggle and those failures before. Really a let down after the sincerely epic and tense final scenes. And I think that realizing things weren’t as simple isn’t much of a payoff when the solution was extremely simple. If he had been forced out of desperation in a fight he couldn’t win otherwise to kill the tyrannical dictator, he would have had a much more complex internal conflict about doing so and trying to resolve that would have been a much more satisfying and interesting resolution to his arc with one final deep change for him to go through. And I think that would have been more in line with the theme of the climax because they literally had him conflicting with past avatars about that choice right before the choice was removed as an issue. I just don’t agree that the simple solution that lets Aang avoid struggle and self-conflict is as interesting, complex, or in theme as forcing him to make the difficult choice that he didn’t want to make and have to deal with it and learn to live with himself afterwards. The show brilliantly forced him to struggle and suffer through conflict after conflict so much and so well throughout the whole show, but then took it easy on him at the end. At least that’s my perspective on it.
I am still baffled by how the worms even knew that. I can buy Darius being able to talk animal because dragon magic, but what sort of magic did these worms eat to have eyes and that degree of intelligence? Or maybe Darius horribly warped their minds and their bodies to do that like some sort of Cthulhu for worms and now they exist in agony, their only coherent thought amid a swarm of concepts too big for their feeble minds being the desire to run him over with a cart.
I remember going to see Dragonheart in the IMAX. I loved it. I remember it being so impactful. I cried all the way home over the dragon. My mom kept saying, “it’s just a movie. He’s not real.” It was real to me. I was like 6.
Same! I saw it on TV, though, so it wasn't crying home. It was sobbing in my mum's arms for a good hour, while she told my dad that they needed to keep me from that sort of movies. I mean, I will still cry over Simba losing his dad and Bambi losing his mum if I happen to be on a down day, and I'm 28. Those movies leave scars, and it's damn easy to pull on those heartstrings.
Kinda depressing how this series is playing out. It’s weird you think this would get a proper follow up given it’s initial hit and premise. But now they treat like some shit B movie series. It really is unfortunate.
@@samreddig8819 I guess. But even then it was a quality and serious enough production that made it so great kinda like tremors who went the same route. It was one of those stories everyone could enjoy and build off in a greater sense. Maybe we can see an earlier time when that order of knights was more prominent with more dragons. Or anything of that sort. But ya know we keep getting half baked and even cringe follow up movies. Which just erodes the majesty and potential ever so further of what the original offered.
Darius certainly does. His job is to capture and kill criminals in exchange for money. The advantage of sharing a heart with a dragon is that, no matter how much Darius gets beaten up or bleeds, he can't die. The only way for him to die is if someone hits Siveth straight into her heart: since they are bonded, if she dies, so does Darius. And Siveth had been keeping herself away from people, in her cave, for 30 years, so that, no matter what happened to Darius... as long as she stayed alive, so did he. When Darius gets attacked by King Razvan's guards, he, Lukas and Siveth (as a dog) are in the town and Siveth is still considered a traitor in exile, so she refuses to come to Darius's help (no matter how much she feels his pain) to not be discovered by the king and forced to abandon Darius and Lukas. But I think that, as soon as Siveth feels Darius getting the first punch, she turns into a mouse and sneaks into the pub to see what is going on and who is hurting Darius. As soon as Darius is left by himself, she reaches him (again, as a dog) and starts licking his wounds, fussing over him and whining, as if she's both comforting Darius and apologising for not having protected him. In every other occasions, Siveth watches over Darius as much as she does with Lukas: she has a strong motherly instinct and she sees both Darius and Lukas as her own small family
Excuse me Daniel, but around 35:20 you were referring to the building as the "abbott". The abbott is the person who is in charge of the building, which is the abbey. I'm ashamed and insulted that you would get such an important detail wrong; obviously this is the lynchpin that makes this movie Oscar-worthy.
I can't get over how incredibly fast that cart must have been going to knock the other cart off the road so hard that it basically explodes. Did the king have cheetah horses?
I think you got them mixed up with Sanderson fans. You don't hear about many angery Tolkien fans these days. I think there's only about 3 The rest are all very civi...or don't care! 😆
The most angry I’ve seen Tolkien fans get is Stephen Colbert ranting about the Lord Of The Rings movie adaptations removing characters, and that’s just genuinely funny and light-hearted banter. Tolkien fans seem super chill.
It’s writing like this that gives people hope, if this can get published and turned into a movie...well never mind I’ve seen worse crap at least this has a dragon with good enough CGI.
Holy godly freaking fuck...ive been waiting you, merphy or todd to do a video regarding dragonheart. It just breaks my heart daily to find out not many people know or love this movie.
I loved your narration of this movie. I had more fun watching you tell the story than I ever would have watching this movie. More stories like this it made me laugh so many times. Thank you
I can tell anyone now that's never seen these movies. Just watch the first two, that's all you need. The second is a B-Budget, but it's alright to watch as a sequel just for the nostalgia of the first.
My first dragon movie was actually the sequel to dragonheart and then I watched the first one. Now rewatching them, dragonheart 2 has aged so badly and I did like some ideas in it, but there was to much gross kid humor for my taste. But dragonheart 1, I personally think still holds up, maybe it's just because of "nostalgia goggles", who knows. There are scenes where the CGI looks a bit dated, but with other ones I can't believe how realistic Draco looks. The story still holds up, I think. I didn't like the other sequels however.
It was so goofy, initially, that I watched it for the pure cheese of it, and then I actually got invested. Merlin, Gueniviere, and Arthur all really grew on me. After Morgana went evil, her dastardly plans got repetitiousness, though. Anthony Head (aka Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) was terrific as Uther, although Uther was very bad at being a king or a father. The apothecary surrogate father for Merlin might have been my favorite, though. Good dude. Dragon only ever showed up as a deus ex. Also, the dude who plays Mordred went on to become Louis XIV’s gay younger brother Phillipe in the show Versailles! He has facial expressions and everything! (And the dude who played the monk in Vikings plays Louis. Versailles was a pretty good show).
Ok, I normally love pedantically picking apart plot holes in movies; but seing Daniel do it and appreciating the QUALITY behind this movie is so much better! 👌
My dad and I watched the original Dragonheart when I was a lil boi, and seeing that one image of the dragon after all these years terrifies me. Why- why is he staring at me like that, I am terrified
OMFG, you were right. This has no business being unironically good, and yet it *_is._* I would have never known this existed but I'm overjoyed that it does. I know I'm not going to get more but I really want more, and not just more of this story or these characters. I want more things like this where they're the fourth sequel of something and no one expects anything, but someone just feels like doing effort to it and making it better than it has any right to be.
I loved this movie. Considering it's a low budget #5 in a series that nose dived, this one was a pull up to being good. You seem to have missed a lot in the beginning, it all connects. The tone for me was your typical D&D game, light hearted moments mixed with casual gore and violence. The pacing was a bit fast, they obviously wanted to get the whole story in a certain amount of time. The writing wasn't bad and the way the characters interact was enjoyable for me. Not enough good dragon films out there, many have really terrible effects. Hope that we can go up from here.
Quick suggestion: Siveth may have Chinese or Russian ancestry, those dragons shapeshift all the time. They missed out not showing her human form, though.
The cart accident thing reminds me of my favorite line from First Knight, when Richard Gere knows where the nearest road is because of the buzzards circling the carcasses of animals run over by passing carts.
I'm only ten minutes in and there is no way the movie is more entertaining than this review/plot summary. Amazing job. Edit: finished this and now more than anything I want a second channel where Daniel gives this same treatment to all the B movies that I always kinda want to watch but never do. I would sub so fast
Had to stop watching this about 5 minutes in, so I could watch the film before I finished the video. Zero regrets. Also, scorpian guy? I think you mean Kai, last of the Brunnen-G. I really enjoyed this video. Would definitely be up for more content like this.
I indeed ate Twix bars (then known as Raider bars in my home country) when I watched _Dragonheart_ as a child. Realising you mean _that_ movie sparked spontaneous flash of joy in my heart. It became my favourite movie back then (until replaced by Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), even though I have only watched it once (I did not come to think of recording it on a VHS). I had no idea there is an entire series.
I can say wholeheartedly that I have not enjoyed any of the sequels. I watch the 1994 classic at least twice a year purely because while it isn't fantastic, it is the movie that made me love dragons. In all honesty, it didn't need any sequels. Watching you discuss this one though was fun as always. Keep being awesome Daniel.
Sounds like a perfect movie for half-sober night with friends, not gonna lie. Also, better 'animated' female animal character design than 90 percent out there. No mascara! :D
Yes, that was a lot of urine coming from the horse. You did not see that wrong!
I... I'm five minutes in and... WHAT?
Naaaay it was cider!!!
She has healthy kidneys
That's happens when a dragon doesn't go to the loo before shapeshifting.

Dragonheart WITH A VENGEANCE was definitely the working title. Could've been the next die hard
So this movie is about a peace-loving, pacifist dragon who learns that it's ok to maim and kill random people from time to time.
Thats nit at all what its about
Dragons can have a little violence, as a treat
This is actually how most d&d campaigns go, except replace the main character with a entire party of incompetent but implausibly lucky fools.

I'll never forget Draco. Sean Connery was amazing as a dragon.
Come!!! See the forest...
Indeed! The prequel series is entertaining, but Drago and Siveth are just sad rip offs of Drogon and Saphira. Draco will always be the greatest!

Maybe Darius is the kind of person who gets in a lot of fights, and the dragon is just used to feeling him get beaten up every other week or so.

My dad and I watched the original Dragonheart when I was a lil boi, and seeing that one image of the dragon after all these years terrifies me.
Why- why is he staring at me like that, I am terrified
It's fascinating the change in reaction to different mediums can have. Imagine the rant video we'd get if Daniel had actually read this as a book.
Please do more of this format. Best thing I seen all week
Well you've got my attention with that title
OMFG, you were right. This has no business being unironically good, and yet it *_is._*
I would have never known this existed but I'm overjoyed that it does. I know I'm not going to get more but I really want more, and not just more of this story or these characters. I want more things like this where they're the fourth sequel of something and no one expects anything, but someone just feels like doing effort to it and making it better than it has any right to be.
"Dragon come out"
"Fine, I'm gay"
I'm not kidding, "cart accident" was literally what orphaned my d and d character!
I loved this movie. Considering it's a low budget #5 in a series that nose dived, this one was a pull up to being good. You seem to have missed a lot in the beginning, it all connects. The tone for me was your typical D&D game, light hearted moments mixed with casual gore and violence. The pacing was a bit fast, they obviously wanted to get the whole story in a certain amount of time. The writing wasn't bad and the way the characters interact was enjoyable for me. Not enough good dragon films out there, many have really terrible effects. Hope that we can go up from here.
This reminded me of this weird film I watched with my mates when I was 10 about these people who harvested dragon guts to make hand grenades
Anyone know what that movie is called? Want to watch it again.
@@Zac_Craig-Claveau The greatest story never told
Quick suggestion: Siveth may have Chinese or Russian ancestry, those dragons shapeshift all the time. They missed out not showing her human form, though.
The original is still amazing IMO
The cart accident thing reminds me of my favorite line from First Knight, when Richard Gere knows where the nearest road is because of the buzzards circling the carcasses of animals run over by passing carts.
I feel like if I watch this it isn't going to be as funny as watching you watch it 😂
😂 This is awesome. I need reviews of the other dragonheart movies please 🙌🏼
This whole thing is so chaotic... I freaking love it 😂😂😂

They took the wolf prisoner
Everyone can talk to all creatures... Because every animal was the dragon the whole time!
I have had a sith day and was in a bad mood, this left me giggling like a schoolgirl, thanks mate :D
I'm only ten minutes in and there is no way the movie is more entertaining than this review/plot summary. Amazing job.
Edit: finished this and now more than anything I want a second channel where Daniel gives this same treatment to all the B movies that I always kinda want to watch but never do. I would sub so fast
Had to stop watching this about 5 minutes in, so I could watch the film before I finished the video. Zero regrets.
Also, scorpian guy? I think you mean Kai, last of the Brunnen-G.
I really enjoyed this video. Would definitely be up for more content like this.
I'm so glad the cows are alright! I was really worried about the cows the whole time
This is the most disheveled and goblinous our host has ever been. I am in awe of this chaotic mess of a movie.
This is a roller coaster of emotions, that I was not even remotely prepared for.
Jesus Christ, this is why I love this guy! Just strait up ranting about fantasy. "The dog was the dragon the WHOLE TIME!" Love it, absolutely love it.
I really need more movie reviews from Daniel. This was so funny and good
More of these please. Lol. 40 minute break down was fantastic. Definitely gonna watch it.
I looked the films up on wikipedia, and now I'm even more confused about the timelines.
At this point I think it's clear that the worms were in fact the dragon.
1:38 I made sure to grab no more than two popcorns for this one
I indeed ate Twix bars (then known as Raider bars in my home country) when I watched _Dragonheart_ as a child. Realising you mean _that_ movie sparked spontaneous flash of joy in my heart. It became my favourite movie back then (until replaced by Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), even though I have only watched it once (I did not come to think of recording it on a VHS). I had no idea there is an entire series.
“Sit back, grab some popcorn or two...”

I can say wholeheartedly that I have not enjoyed any of the sequels. I watch the 1994 classic at least twice a year purely because while it isn't fantastic, it is the movie that made me love dragons. In all honesty, it didn't need any sequels. Watching you discuss this one though was fun as always. Keep being awesome Daniel.
I looked it up on wikipedia. This movie allegedly took place in Wallachia.
Wallachia.
Damn it, we cam this close to Dracula showing up!
The original Dragonheart holds up as an adult. Sean Connery is timeless.
just me bingeing all your videos like podcasts while i paint a big canvas (with a bookshelf and books of course)
Sounds like a perfect movie for half-sober night with friends, not gonna lie. Also, better 'animated' female animal character design than 90 percent out there. No mascara! :D
