The Dragon Prince is a story of adventure, love and war. It’s a show that’s full of heart and soul, and it’s one that I can’t wait to see continue for years to come.
The Dragon Prince is a series that leaves much to be desired in terms of plot development. The first episode left much to be desired, with little indication as to what would happen next. This lack of development was compounded by the fact that the show wasted little time getting right to the heart of the drama - which was Callum and Rayla’s separation from the others and crossing into Xadia. This left us with little understanding as to what was going on, and made it difficult to follow along with the story.
Viren is a wildcard on the show and is controlled by Aaravos, who makes his move late on this season. This conflict comes to a head during the final third in spectacular fashion, culminating in a final fight for Xadia’s future that resolves most of the conflict points but leaves things wide open for a follow-up season. I won’t spoil too much but suffice to say, it makes the build-up during the first few seasons well worth the wait and solidifies this show as one of the better fantasy offerings out there.
The Dragon Prince is a well-done show with interesting characters and an engaging story. The show does well to add some originality and interesting ideas into the mix, making it a must-watch for fans of fantasy and science fiction.
The show’s visuals are stunning, with the same level of detail and animation that we’ve come to expect from the show. The blend of CGI and hand-drawn animation is perfect, while the fight scenes have some nicely animated choreography and variety of shots. Xadia offers up some beautiful locales too, with the Sunfire Elf City and the Storm Spire surrounded by lush flat plains, having a great variety of colours and interesting topography used to help the world feel alive.
The Dragon Prince is a high fantasy series that is accessible to all age groups. While some cliched plot tropes still crop up, the rich lore and lovable main cast of characters should be enough to look past these. The Dragon Prince is a story that is high fantasy at its best and this third season rounds things out in a satisfying and action-packed final episode. While leaving plenty of questions for a follow-up season, 2020 cannot come soon enough!
