should I watch this?
Watch the first three seasons, then read Through The Moon, then throw whatever device you read it on at a wall or out a window and drop the series.
>>153868395No
>>153868497fippy bippy
>>153868395first season only.then, go watch the "trollhunter" show.
>>153869509>go watch the "trollhunter" showWhy should I?
>>153868497Oof. I think I've only seen it until the end of S3, then it went on a long ass hiatus and everyone forgot about it. I only recently learned it had been finished.
Yeah, Rayla is cute
>>153869527Because Trollhunter is fun
>>153868395Yes.
>>153868395>>153868497>>153869613The massive drop in quality from season 4 onwards is absurd.
>>153869527same general feel as dragon prince and its good for the whole 3 seasons. (the sequel shows however, are disappointing, do not watch).
>>153868497Dragon Prince is really only good in the first 3 seasons. Then it sucks, both in terms of story and animation quality. I can't think of too many scenes that I really like from later seasons. Season 6 is a little bit better than 4 and 5.There's way too much woke stuff in Dragon Prince, WAY too much gay, transgender, and race mixing. The world just doesn't feel like a fantasy world I'm supposed to take seriously and feel immersed in if 50% of couples are LGBTQ. OK, so dragons and assassins are killing your people, and instead of repopulating the ranks of soldiers, you decide to be in a gay relationship and change your gender?
>>153870429>The world just doesn't feel like a fantasy world I'm supposed to take seriously and feel immersed in if 50% of couples are LGBTQYou have issues, man.
>>153868395Fuck no
>>153868395prolly not desu
>>153870489Nah, watch the series if you don't believe it.. You can tell wokeness was a very relevant factor when they were making it.I wouldn't be mad about gays being a thing and accepted in a fantasy world, but this is like, come on man
>>153870103why do you lie
>>153868395it has plentiful elf dilfs and has a strong start, but starts to spin its wheels really obnoxiously about halfway through. you could probably compress the latter half of the series into a single season once you cut out all the fluff that goes nowhere. watch for claudia suffering and aaravos' fine ass, skip if you want a deep fantasy world.
>>153872454I wish there was more of a point to that whole season 4 plotline than just wasting time, but honestly who the fuck reads a fantasy story and goes "Where's all the straight people?" unless you're deliberately looking for reasons to be angry.
>>153868395I'm about halfway through season 5, I agree about the drop in quality but I'm still enjoying it
>>153870429Don't forget about the elven queen going lesbian and marrying a deaf human. There goes the royal line.
>>153876046I dropped it like 2 episodes into season 5 because I already knew from other threads that they weren't going to rebuild Rayllum in any satisfactory way.It fucking sucks how every cartoon keeps making unforced errors and destroying their romances or refusing to even have any.
I still fail to see how black magic is any worse than just hunting.
>>153876396i think the danger - as seen with claudia and the guy she killed to save her dad - is that you will inevitably start seeing your fellows as ingredients in your spells instead of people. the magic itself also seems to contaminate the user and exasperate/induce negative mental states. if someone can massacre a village and defeat a kingdom with the resulting magic, that's also pretty bad for social stability. most importantly it has no entry floor - anyone can pick up a black magic spellbook and go to town on the spot, as opposed to other magics that need you to both be attuned to the magic and taught by other practitioners, which inherently creates a level of accountability that black magic lacks.
>>153868395How do you feel about elven booty?
>>153868395How does this have 7 seasons, yet it's almost never talked about outside if it's community?
>>153875265>ut honestly who the fuck reads a fantasy story and goes "Where's all the straight people?"Everyone.That was one of the main criticisms of the series; nobody cared about the gay characters, everyone wanted to see more of the heterosexual couple.
>>153876835They ruined it in Through The Moon, though. I don't know why you'd keep watching.Why did I keep watching? Oh right, it was to prove I was better than other anons.
>>153875265>who the fuck reads a fantasy story and goes "Where's all the straight people?" unless you're deliberately looking for reasons to be angry.When westoid cultists pump their stories full of gays and trannies, that breaks the suspension of disbelief because you know they only put them in there for muh representation. You roll your eyes and go>of course this one's gay too
The only thing I know about this series is horn size, and what it correlates to.
>>153868395I started after the Avatar movie leaked. It's good
I binged the whole show this year and missed /co/'s discussion on it. Why does no one like the later seasons?
>>153868395This show was up its own prog-minded moralizing ass I couldn't bring myself to watch past season 3, and that was an effort I did actively working past the choppy animation.Not recommended.
Seasons 1 to 3 aren't even that great on their own either, there's just the groundwork for something good. The male and female leads had good chemistry, the main villain seemed like he might actually be the most interesting character on the show, and his kids also had an interesting dynamic going on. If they managed to properly utilize what they set up in the first three seasons, I'd go as far as to say that it's a good show. But they just couldn't, so I can only really call it a mediocre show with a few charming points at best.
>>153877206A man of culture >>153877545The Jew-supremacy and faggotry was hilarious. >start a civil war with your sister the queen about succession >she's a lesbian that won't have children
>>153877597the main couple being cute was for sure the strongest thing the early show had going for it
>>153876396>>153876459>"Oh no! The bad guy killed that innocent mother bird to do black magic! Let me betray my girlfriend and take care of her little birdies by feeding them worms"I guess insects don't count
>>153868395Real shame the show ended after season 1. So much potential. Real shame.
>>153876280>they weren't going to rebuild RayllumThey did though
>>153878678Sure they did. And they totally didn't ruin Starco with Booth Buddies.
I don’t think it’s worth rewatching to check, but I’m kind of curious if it’d be comprehensible enough to watch the first three seasons and then just skip to the last season. Or even skip all the way to a couple of the final episodes in the last season.It’s not like I thought the last season was good overall, but there were a couple individual moments that were payoffs to setups in episode 1 that I remember I’d been waiting for for the whole show.
>>153868395Do this: >>153868497 but don't read t 'Through the Moon' as it is garbage and should have been non-canon. Instead read 'Hung Princes and Horny Elves' by Hagfish and '2 girls,one prince' by Mr.Jellybeans.
>>153877631>>she's a lesbian that won't have childrenOf all the plot holes and retarded character actions in this story, that decision actually has a solid explanation, even if Aanya's parentage itself does not.
>>153876459>that need you to both be attuned to the magic and taught by other practitioners, which inherently creates a level of accountability that black magic lacksthis doesn’t create accountability, it just makes the practice insular
>>153878678Aaron Asshat spend more effort rubbing salt in wounds then he did trying to fix anything.I hope he dies from heartcancer or some shit.
>>153877637It's kinda weird no other shounen/adventure show has a not-obnoxiously or hideous romantically aggressive girl/woman. That shit would do the rounds here faster then a sack of crack in a junky shack.
>>153880823>It's kinda weird no other shounen/adventure show has a not-obnoxiously or hideous romantically aggressive girl/woman. That shit would do the rounds here faster then a sack of crack in a junky shack.there's Lois in MAWS
>>153880930That's true. And Kara too.And I have watched it and am ampted for the new season.But where is the rest? I was under the impression that studio's were fighting for my attention.
>>153880341You need to read Through The Moon to understand why you should drop it, though. It's like telling people to only watch Adventure Time up to Season 5 Part 1 when all the reasons people got angry with it (Flame Princess) are in Season 5 Part 2 and Season 6.
>>153870413>(the sequel shows however, are disappointing, do not watch).Eh, I still had fun with them. Also, autistic alien waifu.
>>153880930MAWS Lois pissed me off when she forced Clark to confess he was Superman and then made him apologize for keeping it secret the next episode. It's clear evidence that the writing team are not good enough to write a romance.Which sucks especially hard when some of the people on this show were the same people who did New She-Ra. That show really managed to do romance well in seasons 2 and 3 only to completely fucking blow it in the next two seasons.>>153881420I want Kara to get with literally anyone else because I was not only hoping for Jimmy to get ith Silver Banshee, but also every single MAWS thread is angry /pol/acks complaining about miscegenation in the same spergy way this thread complains about gay people.
>>153880519I thought that's the token tranny. Who else would it be? >>153880726I didn't notice that. That's hilarious>>153879691The king bird has been flying out there for two yearsI finished it now. They clearly wanted to make another season. Was it canceled?
>>153880519>We want to show two women kissing, so here are some throwaway character who are already dead doing it in a flashbackThat's gonna be a yikes from me, Aaron.
Rewatched the first three seasons recently. Still enjoy them a lot.
>>153881933You get four seasons of a deaf, vaguely asian chick marrying a black chick. You'll be fine>>153881968Why the hate for the later seasons? Was it the wait between seasons? You get sparkly bad guy elf with a plan, racist Viren having to watch his daughter getting elfed,
>>153882090Disingenuous
I'm halfway through Through the Moon. It better shit the bed soon, so far the only problem I see is that they didn't do Rayla's accent
>>153882392Through the Moon on its own is fine. You only find out how much damage it does when you start watching season 4 and see what happens next.Rayla is gone for two years, randomly comes back acting like nothing happens and they spend the next two and a half seasons doing "will they/won't they" with their relationship, the one thing everybody praised them for not doing in the first place.
>>153882530Yeah, that was weird. I just thought they wouldn't have them in a relationship in a kids show. But, everyone here was telling me she became a bitch When all she did after returning was throw herself at him and he's the one ignoring her
>>153881767>Was it canceled?Yes and no. (I’m no expert and don’t even consider myself a big fan, so I invite other anons to correct me where I’m wrong)Originally they were greenlit for 3 seasons. That’s why the third season finale feels so conclusive, they had been canceled then and weren’t sure if they’d ever be renewed. So they tried to give it a decent sendoff even though they knew they couldn’t cover everything they wanted in just 3 seasons. But they started a social media campaign to encourage enough fan outcry to get the renewal they needed, and it worked. It seemed like the original plan called for at least 6 seasons, so one season to name after each “primal source.” Similar to how Avatar the Last Airbender had 3 seasons for each of the 3 elements Aang needed to master.Dragon Prince has a total of 7 seasons. Imo, this was plenty to wrap up their story. They did not need that much extra season bait at the last minute of the last episode. They got greedy. They thought they could just pull the same trick again and convince the fans to show support for additional seasons until they got another renewal, and then they were gonna try to keep milking the franchise for who knows how long.
>>153882804I started watching this because I was told it has a conclusive ending. Now I've seen the ending and it's obviously not conclusive. Based on Ehasz experience on AtLA, where they developed every season independently, he apparently made multi season story arcs in Dragon Prince. Google tells me the next arc is made independently as the Dragon King. I haven't seen anyone mentioning it here
>>153882804They always wanted 7 seasons, but the actual layout changed over time. At first, it was gonna be three arcs, divided into seasons 1-3, 4-5 and 6-7. Then arc 2 changed to 4-6 with arc 3 being only season 7. In the end, they spend the entire final four seasons on the second arc and now want another three season to do the third act, now titled The Dragon King. I suspect the entire sunfire plotline originally didn't exist and this was forced in to keep Amaya and Janai as main characters, and it ended up adding so much extra time that they couldn't do all three planned arcs.
>>153883020Yeah thats about as stupid as I’d expect. They did not use the time they were given wisely.
>>153883020Aaravos gets reborn as Rayla's and Callum's daughter?
>>153883135Netflix told them to put gay shit in, so they put gay shit in. Don't blame them
>>153881474>>153882392>>153882530>>153882685Ok, fine, but save yourself some time and just read the last 2 pages of 'Through the Moon'. That's the only relevant part. Everything else is just wank about Rayla's dead parents and Viren not being quite dead, but if you watched S3, you already knew that. The art and writing are mediocre, don't argue it has any merit beyond knowing that Rayla dumps Callum in a letter.
>>153883168I bundle “them” and netflix into the same pile of “people responsible for the ultimate product.” I really don’t differentiate the writers or artists from the studio execs anymore, because all it ever amounts to is shifting blame and asking a bunch of what ifs while the finished show continues to be shit.
>>153882685The relationship is one of the many things they kind of tease to keep you hooked but don't actually pay off in any way
>>153883283It gives hope for the new show though
>>153883345I’m kinda burnt out on the franchise anyway and probably won’t be watching it.
>>153882977>I was told it has a conclusive endingYou really only need to ignore the hinted return of Aaravos and the bird king shit, and it does. Which I get if you can’t, but a lot of us had given up on the bird king foreshadowing for years by that point and accepted it as an abandoned plot point.
>>153883345I don't want to watch the new show. I don't want the show to timeskip decades into the future to avoid the problem, I want the showrunners to directly tell me why they wrote them breaking up at all.
>>153883168I blame them for doing it in a shitty way. TDP got a lot of criticism for having 3 out of 4 gay characters in the first three seasons already being dead or presumed dead, so they had to compensate for this in the later season.
>>153882090>>153882977
>>153883474If you can just 'ignore the last bit', you are better off skipping the final scene in S3. It is a better capstone and mosts archs were properly finished instead of ass-pulled fall flat at the last second.
>>153882685it's less that she acted like a complete bitch and more that it was frustrating seeing her go from how she was in season 1 to 3,were she has done a lot of heart to heart conversation with Callum and showed herself as a caring character, to becoming someone who never apologized for her disappearance especially since it was useless, who didn't have a strong reaction to Callum being controlled by Aaravos and even downplayed Callum fear about this situation and acted more like he could just chose to not be possessed.These are spoilers from season 5 forward.Then in the next season she immediately went behind Callum's back and stole from him, nobody told her how much she fucked up for her disappearance and when it seems that Amaya was about to do it she immediately dropped the scolding after threatening her a little, which for me, made it seems that it was just a minor error what she had done.Then Rayla, and everyone else too this time, didn't check up on Callum after he was tortured by the pirate until he finally saw it mopping all alone which showed her, and everyone else also this time, not caring enough about the person that they loved being hurt. Then in season 6 she made Callum wait in the cold in a frozen lake and made him worry while she just went and read a journal, which had some foreshadowing about her understanding more on how wrong she had acted and how she had to fix things up, but immediately after they make a joke about burning the "Rayllum" ship, and,when they are in the star scraper, and it seems that finally Rayla will have another heart to heart conversation with Callum and smooth things over / apologize she got immediately stopped by Callum.Then next season she bring her assassin father who killed Ez father and sees nothing wrong.In conclusion,she acted worse than how she was in the first seasons and her forgiveness doesn't seems earned which is a shame since I still love her character
>>153883486THIS!We don't need more of the problems swept under the rug with lame ass 'that was so long ago'. We need an answer for what Rayla did in those TWO YEARS that could justify her behavior. It's fine for her to be a closed off if there is a reason for it.
>>153881514mpreg fetish KILLED her to me.
>>153883624>spoilerVery well put. I missed ten years of shitposting and over analyzing. It must have been vexing watching this live. The assassin returning to the crime scene was exceptionally stupid Like he himself watched the show and now thought they'd be friends
>>153883140wtf, she's not cute at all anymore...
>>153883624This is a good post. Lots of effort. Wasted on this shitshow.>>153883799Agreed. On the bright side, this is the last we'll ever see of this IP
>>153883799Turns out women age and they’re often less attractive after having someone else’s kid. Go figure.
>>153883624she left for 2 years....on his birthday!!i've grieved my father faster than that.
>>153883778Del Toro lost his mind completely with that movie.
>>153883799She's a mom now anon. Also, note the horns >>153877631
>>153883799Shame she didn't end up as hot as her mom.
>>153883911this, you can be a hot mom, its a thing.
>>153883911I blinked and missed what happened to her parents in purgatory. Did they move on and that's why she didn't bring them back?
>>153883871making the fat redhead the trollhunter retroactively made me hate the whole thing. movie was a curse.
>>153883981Not only that, but there was a whole episode showing why Jim had to be the trollhunter.
>>153883947milfs are exceptionally lucky creatures
>GOO GOO GAA GAA
>>153883875This post made me look to see if the baby had horns and for a second I thought it had weirdly huge horns, but on closer look that’s just Callum’s armor.
>>153884043>tiny nub hornsOkay but how many fingers?
>>153884082Ten. It's in the trailer
>>153870413I don't wanna watch anything. There's a dark lump on my scrotum and I'm worried about what it is.
>>153870413I only want to watch shows with good porn doujins. I'm pretty sure I'm completely out of shows at this point, though.
>>153884043Weirdly big and active for a newborn. Is it an elf thing? Or are the creators too gay to know what babies are like?
>>153880341>'Hung Princes and Horny Elves' by Hagfish >'2 girls,one prince' by Mr.Jellybeans.You are a scholar and a gentleman
She was strangely curious about human/elf relations.
>>153884245>substitute teacher makes them touch him in inappropriate places They threw this in for the 4Chan crowd
>>153884191They know what babies are like. She's supposed to be Rosemary's baby. Aaravos reborn
>>153880341You mean "Please rate five stars".
Twink death is a terrible thing.
>>153883956After Callum got Rayla a set of Quasar Diamonds, Rayla dives into the moon nexus pool again and finds out that her parents have in fact not been trapped in a hellish purgatory the whole time, but were just dancing and hanging out. They hug, and Runaan shows up. Rayla's parents "move on".Rayla then resurrects Runaan.pic unrelated
>>153868395No as the morality makes no sense.
>>153884358>"Please rate five stars"Is that still going?I got stuck after Ezran bitched about sandvich because the actual show burned me.
>>153884499It's on second to last chapter, and I have hope that the bitch Rayla will be thoroughly cucked. I hate that character.I'll admit it's been several months, though, but the author tends to take a long while to post chapters
>>153884111understandable, get that checked.
>>153884235this
This show needed more Nyx, especially after the timeskip
>>153887903>Bring her back because fans asked for her>Do nothing interesting with her
>>153868395No bro. And I was telling people to give it a chance back in the early days when the s1 animation was extremely choppy and fucked up.>>153869527>>153870101I'd say stop before 3below. Just trollhunters none of the stuff after.
>>153887903I know, right?
>>153868395I checked out that first Dragon Prince trailer when it was premiering, saw the uglyass cel-shaded CG animation they went with, and never looked back.
The only good thing about them trying to get more seasons is that they confirmed that Rayla and Callum had a kid, and remember that they still have to make 9 more
>>153881602>Lois pissed me offI like to tell myself that they try to make Lois a flawed human being, to contrast her from the perfect Superman.
>>153887903>she's right, we did forget
>>153892656How about you realize all media will only disappoint and only through committing suicide will you ever get anything satisfying.
>>153868395>what if ATLA was lame, gay and boring
Starting Troll Hunters despite my better judgment. The fact that it's CGI is something I'll probably get over at some point (I've seen Dragon Prince, Green Lantern Animated and 3 seasons of Miraculous Ladybug), but what I'm concerned about is my autism that forces me to watch an entire show straight through while doing little else with my time.I wish I knew how to treat anime as entertainment rather than homework, but I don't think I've actually enjoyed anything in years.
Sex with elf.
This thread is so fucking dead.When is God going to make cartoons great again? He owes it to me personally for letting 4chan bully me into watching bad shows.
Oh for fuck's sake it is literally every goddamn cliche of school/highschool-aged protagonists mashed together. Pick a fucking lane and keep to it, don't mash them all together in a desperate effort to grab every single fucking audience member you can.
>>153890837mr.jellybeans's canon is true canon, fight me.
>>153895347Only Glitch shows can get active threads anymore. No point making threads about those shows you loved from five years ago, because they will just archive with very little activity.
Did the cartoon suffer due to that metoo controversy or were there already problems before that happened?
>>153890837Do we know if it's their first kid? Waiting seven years to get kids seems too long
>>153896037It was the style at the time. Also, Netflix DEIsm. Here's hoping they can tone it down in the new show
>>153895347Still more lively then the actual show

>>153897495So?
>>153897555I wish I could go literally anywhere but 4chan. But this is the only place where I can make death threats and threaten to kill myself without being banned for trolling.
>>153881474Curious as I am unfamiliar. What happens in Through the Moon? I personally second just reading the horny elves + 2 girls one prince as anon suggested and pretending that is the ending
>>153897662I'm tired of "Just read the porn" being the most common post in these threads.>What happens in Through the Moon?Read it and find out. It's somewhere on rco.
>Introduce deaf army general.>Despite not being able to hear, still reacts to sound and people speaking to her vocally.>Even when not looking directly at them or with sign language.
>>153875265>who the fuck reads a fantasy story and goes "Where's all the straight people?"Relationships specifically for procreation are a big thing in monarchies, especially feudal ones where a great deal of social status is inherited. That's part of the background in the standard high fantasy setting.
>>153876459No one tell anon that humans are made of meat.

Finished watching the first episode of Troll Hunters after 8 or so hours.No I am not watching this show. It feels like several kids movies and YA fantasy books mashed together without any effort given to editing them.
>>153895347Dead thread for a dead show. Seems appropriate actually.
>>153899923I want to watch good shows. I don't wanna watch bad shows.
It's not happening anytime soon, but I am in talks with the author of "Please Rate Five Stars" about making a Callum/Nyx NSFW comic.Though, that's pretty far into the future. I have at least one more comic I want to do before working on that one.
