I really hope we meet Soren and Claudia's mother Lissa at some point. I know their divorce was explained in season 3, but the book 1 novelisation mentions that she grew scared of Viren after he healed Soren, who was actually quite a sickly child, with dark magic. If she's still alive, I really want her to be introduced at some point (or shown in a flashback). I have a feeling Soren probably takes after her more than Viren 😂
There was a comment somewhere during a Claudia - Soren scene where she mentions Viren's dark magic healing Soren. At the time of watching I was confused because I could only recall her using dark magic to heal his paralysis earlier in the show - so cool to know that the line was probably hinting to what you mentioned!!
Aaravos can be seen holding a small stone figure of Callum at 0:32. This indicates that Aaravos has taken a great interest into the young mage and Callum might be in great danger in this season. It gives me hope for a great hero-villain rivalry between these two characters.
Aravos may be hot but that's no reason to control callum bro I hope callum gets outta the control bro I really dont want him to be the villain or die 😣
It’s no surprise when you think about it. Both of them are prodigy’s off their own races. Aravos, able to utilise all 6 primal sources, and Callum, the first human to ever forge a connection to a Primal Source. The possibilities for an amazing hero vs villain storyline between these two is incredible
I love how Ezra gave Barius (the baker) a seat in his council and the fact that he doesnt bother to putt on literally anything other than his baker's clothes makes it even better
And people say that she deserves a redemption. Yeah, no. No one deserves redemption and from where she's standing, she doesn't get one unless she sacrifices herself.
This series has no right to be so good! At first glance, the animation could be described as a little rough around the edges, but at least in my opinion, the story, worldbuilding, character growth and drama carries it all so freaking well! Also, I rather take this style of animation than artists worked on the verge of their sanity trying to pull off something more detailed or complex, while the story takes the blow from the tight budget. Can't wait to see more of this series!
DETAILS: 00:01 - Viren is in the same pose as Avizandum and is turning to stone in the same way 00:12 - The council is now made up of King Ezran, Corvus (who got a haircut and shave), a mystery person, the baker, Callum, Opelli, and Bait (who has a special chair with steps) 00:15 - ZYM BIG 00:15 - Callum's inauguration ceremony as High Mage. The baker and Crow Master are there 00:26 - Not sure if that means Viren will have 30 day periods of alive-ness or if he has 30 days total. If it's the latter he's gonna have to haul ass 00:30 - Butter-vos 00:31 - BUTTER-VOS but looking adolescent. I wonder if it's a clone or if he fully inhabits this body 00:34 - Aaravos playing with his pawns. Note that Callum is holding his Key 00:36 - The Star sigil is lit up. Aarvos is coming ........ 00:40 - Is this Viren's staff or a new one that Callum is holding? Also, is Aaravos the Fallen Star? 00:46 - The Council meets with Zubeia and Pyrrah. We see the mystery new councilperson again 00:48 - Wait.....is the mystery councilperson SOREN? He's so ...... slender ? Also Ezran is trying to make things right with the dragons. 00:51 - THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED Y'ALL. FANTASY LESBIANS 2K22 00:54 - Ibis fights Claudia over Viren's staff 00:57 - Claudia tries to stab him with some sort of horn. For magic? 1:01 - A body. Note the blue roses 1:07 - EARTH DRAGONS BABEY 1:10 - Janai menaces a prisoner with bandaged (presumably burned) hands. A thief? Will she follow through, or will Amaya convince her to spare the thief's life? 1:13 - Terry tries to save Viren from falling off a cliff. You would think an elf would be the last person to want to keep Viren alive. Is it for Claudia, or does he have an ulterior motive? 1:14 - Sunfire mage babey !!!! 1:15 - Callum saves Bait from a AAAAAA WHAT THE HECK IS THAT 1:17 - Dark Magic Callum returns again. Don't do it, Callum !!! 1:18 - A dragon eye with markings that look similar to Sunfire Elves'. Or maybe it _is_ a Sunfire elf ............. 1:20 - The gang is back together!! Big Zym saves Callum, Ezran, Soren, and Rayla from more weird creatures 1:21 - Zubeia yells at some weird Earth creatures 1:25 - Rayla's back!! Or is she ........... She has a new cute friend who's holding the Key of Aaravos, but the Star sigil is lit up again. An illusion? Or maybe the little friend is Startouched 1:30 - Rayla runs from an elf bounty hunter riding a dragon! Cool! 1:35 - HIM BIG
Ibis dies, likely in the battle w/ Claudia. Note the funeral surroundings (storm spire), the birds, and the fact that Callum now owns his staff. "In darkness, gaze upon a fallen star." Looks like Callum successfully found a way to translate the runes around Aaravos's mirror. The lighting on his back in one shot--where the Star image is lit on the Key--indicates Callum successfully made contact w/ Aaravos. Rayla is present both at Ibis's funeral and when the dragang goes underground, presumably to hunt Viren down, or another important reason, Rex Igneous may be part of that. Speculation, mind, and I hate to toot my own horn here, but my theorizing tends to be accurate to the point of accidentally spoiling myself on several occasions xD I mean, I picked up on the Aaravos-Sidious, Viren-Dooku, and Claudia-Anakin thing way back in early SEASON 2, lol. Betting Callum may or may not be Luke. ;)))
Can’t wait for the Callum vs Claudia mage battle. Callum has probably been training and studying for the last two years and Claudia has probably just been obsessing over bringing her dad back so they’re probably around equal. Also I’m really looking forward to how Soren has grown (besides his facial hair).
@Nicolás Díaz Why not just continue using Dark Magic though? It's much more accessible to humans and versatile in what can be done with it. At this point it's entirely possible that Callum is the only human that will ever be able to use other types of magic. Controlling lightning and wind is cool and all but he's not gonna be healing full body paralysis or resurrecting the dead with either of those. Aside from some temporary cosmetic changes resulting from heavy use we've not seen any evidence of negative side effects of Dark Magic use (Viren's bout with apparent madness can't be blamed on dark magic either considering he was a lifetime practioner of it without issue and only went crazy after Aaravos started messing with his head).
@ChomdaimShe had more time but his source of magic is more natural and while she was a mage beforehand it seems she was stagnant and relying on that orb as a crutch to do simple attack spells and little stuff until the show started and she was forced by circumstances to improve so, in reality, they should still be equal.
I can't see them being equal because Claudia has been practicing magic pretty much her whole life whereas Calum only has around 2 years of experience. And I recognize the fact that he is a quick study but still..... I am extremely hyped though been waiting for this for like 3 years
"RAYLA!" In all the film trailers I've seen, none have made me audibly shout because I was so excited to see a character. She means a lot to me. An idol, an inspiration. I couldn't be happier that Calum gets to see her again, to be in company with someone so amazing.
All I want from movies, tv shows, plays is a great story. Characters that brings you into their head and hearts . Doesn't matter if it's animated, or live action. That is what this show is.
I can't get over how good the music is! I'm so excited to see what this season has in store! Edit: I just noticed that Callum and Rayla reunite in the same room where they had their first conversation! (You can tell by the painting with the lamb. I also believe that this room is probably Callum's study) Oh! and the scene at 0:35 is most likely the same scene where Rayla and Callum reunite, because the moon sign is glowing on the Key of Aaravos! Ooo and I think at 1:16 Soren is in the same cave where he and Claudia cast the spell to find the princes at the end of season 1.
Y'know, at the end of Legend of Korra, when the writers and studio said they weren't going to continue the Avatar franchise (for now) as they wanted to work on "another project", I was extremely disheartened... ...but I'm glad they did. Dragon Prince has been an absolutely wonderful show that's just as good as Avatar was, and I'm so eager to see it continue!
Rayla looks so beautiful and grown-up (a womanly glow-up indeed, much akin to Astrid from the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise. I reckon Callum will have a hard time getting over just how beautiful she is. She's certainly quite shy in describing Callum as looking "nice". She probably thinks he's gorgeous and handsome. 🥰 Ezran has matured into a wise young king that would make his father proud.
@ZaikoReborn it was confirmed by Netflix that there will be seven seasons split into three phases, season 4 starting the second phase. All of them together will make The Dragon Prince Saga :)
Okay, Rayla’s return and them laughing and teasing each other makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER. I feel ready for s3 now. And I see that Callum is dabbling in dark magic again. Bad Callum, bad! *BONK!*
@Kage It was my understanding she won't be in the first episode. I haven't seen it, but we got it early and the review said we didn't get an expiation for her absence. It will likely be in the first three episodes, but not the first.
Technically 2, the first is through the mirror where we see events happen between books 3 and 4, and bloodmoon huntress where we see a rayla flashback of her living with her foster parents
Things I'm really excited for besides everything but these are the top things I'm looking forward to: Zym older and hopefully talking Interactions with the Dragon Queen The relationship between Amaya and Janai Preteen King Ezran Finding out where Rayla has been during the two years and where her relationship with Callum is at Obviously I'm excited for a lot more but those are the top things I'm really eager for this season to dive into!
Aint no way in hell thats Rayla. The Star Arcanum lit up, not Moon. I dont know who the fuck that is, but if Callum finds out hes been deceived everyone will die and whoever was stupid enough to play with his heart will take a massive blow. I mean, now she has a monkey on her should, talks in a not so Rayla way, has been missing for 2 years, and suddenly shows up to tell the person she broke the heart of he looks good? If that aint Aaravos trying to hide what hes doing, then she has some explaining to do
Knowing that Rayla will make an appearance in Season 4 instead of being absent until the end of the Season is what makes all the wait worth it. And I think that now she's back she can stay with Callum this time. And she can be apart of the group of people that Ezran invites to meetings to talk about important things. And I love Ezran I really do but seriously he invited the Baker to an important meeting. I mean it makes sense for Ezran to invite Callum because he's his guide and the only family he has left like King Harrow said Callum would be. And Soren is a good friend so Ezran can trust Soren to protect him because Soren proved himself trust worthy in the final battle in Season 3. And Corvus is a loyal follower and he can be useful for going to check to see if anyone is following them or is hiding. And Opeli has always done the right thing so she will not let anyone get away with making a bad decision. But I am just hoping that nothing bad happens to Rayla and Callum to where they can't be together. Because once she returns she shouldn't leave again. (🤓)
I can see why this took two years now! This looks incredible! And Rayla is back! I’ve been waiting to see her for so long! It’s all so stunning! She’s stunning! AHHH I’m so excited! And we have a release date!
@AndyyBlue hopefully that doesn’t happen because I would tire myself out while waiting. But they know that and wouldn’t take seven years to finish the series
@{Xx_Magic Mind Productions_xX} that's nice, but if they were to be 7 years in the series and they do the same thing to us, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back >:v Ok no xd
Thank god they finally show us Rayla. I was afraid they would leave her out for the entire season and ending it on a cliffhanger with her meeting Callum again for the first time in years
This looks fucking awesome, I hope as the seasons progress we see maybe one or two more time skips. I kinda want to see like a archmage Callum who is around mid 20's to mid 30's who has mastered all primal magic. I want to see Ezran who has become something like a Dragon warrior/Beast master, and Reyla become something like a eldritch scoundrel or Magus where she is an expert in illusion.
I'm excited. It's rare that a modern show is actually good and keeps getting better. The dragon Prince managed pretty well so far and I hope it keeps it up.
What will happen when Rayla reunites with Ez: Rayla: It's so good to see ya! Ezran: I'm so happy I could pass up Jelly Tarts! Rayla: Wait a minute! She looks at Ezran up and down Holy ***!! You've. GOtten. So. TAALLLLLLL!!!! *She starts to sob uncontrollably Callum: Also crying I- Know- right? He's growing UUUUUUUUPPP!!! Both of them sob while Ezran is being so done with this
And to think this all started from a season that only had five frames of animation per episode... Lol! But seriously, this looks amazing and I am here for it! Hoping they get Avatar levels of praise for this show.
0:47 Looked it up and I'm pretty sure that's Zubeia, Zym's momma. I freaked out for a second there and went "DANG, WHAT A GROWTH SPURT!" I mean I could still be wrong but it better matches her horn/hair patterns. 0:53 Also really liking this. She's on the precipice of the moment her father was. He *was* a good person at one point, but his ability to justify his own actions to himself as he went darker and darker ultimately sealed his fate. As their family splits down the middle, _who's side is she on?_
OMG! I love the trailer! And I love Rayla’s new look! So happy to see her again, but... I’m confused. Why is the Moon Rune on the cube not glowing? The damn thing is there next to her. It has in the past, but why not now? I saw comments that maybe this isn’t really Rayla but an illusion created by Aaravos to trick Callum. I really hope not, but seeing Callum’s eyes turn black is shocking. I thought Callum would never use Dark Magic again after Season 2. But man, I just want to know if that is really Rayla appearing before Callum or not.
@Captain comrade finally got around to reading that comic (on my phone instead of the real thing) and yeah now I’m caught up on what happened with Rayla.
Callum holds Ibis' scepter (staff) and there was a cloth with silver rune that I speculate covers a corpse so it might foreshadowing that he died, and since he fought Claudia this might mean that Aaravos is hidden somewhere in the storm spire.
I think it was implied he's trapped at the Moon Source, since they drew attention to the fact that a huge section of the place is simply....gone, after some massive ritual was performed, and the architecture of the remaining ruins is similar to what we see of the room he's trapped in).
I've been wanting for this new season for way too long. This is one of my favorite shows on Netflix and my favorite animated series there (which is a big deal having there Arcane and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners). I hope the next season don't take as long to be released.
ah the moment we've been waiting for, rayla! i knew they'd show her eventually lol. i'm so excited i have nothing else to say but this season looks so beautiful. i know we're gonna have a couple of good cries 😭 also, is that a battle between claudia and ibis i see? and it looks like rayla has her own animal companion now. so many questions...
Things to note from the trailer: We can see the Zym and Rayla redesigns, (rewatch analysis, we can also see Aaravos' worm redesign around 0:30-0:31) Callum has some connection to star magic, based on the cube glowing when he walks towards it. Rayla has a small monkey with a relation to star magic. Bait stays with Callum, not Ezran. The mountain towards the start looks awesome. Claudia and (the Skywing elf I forgot the name of) are battling for some reason. Aaravos most likely has some grip over Callum, based on the chess piece shot, Aaravos crushing something in his hand, and then a shot of Callum with black eyes. There are two new things we can see from this trailer. The rider and its dragon being attacked by Rayla; And the strange, possibly Dark Magic related dragon at the very end. And we got a release date, Nov. 3rd. 26 days from the time of writing this, October Eigth. If anyone thinks I missed something, or got something wrong, then reply I guess. Rewatch analysis: The shot of Callum being sad about Rayla leaving must come before the shot of her return, (obviously) but the shot of her attacking the dragon and its rider must come after, as Callum holds one of her swords in the first shot, and she uses both in the last. Callum holds the staff of the Skywing elf who guarded the Storm Spire, so the shot of him at 0:41 must come after the Elf vs. Claudia. Elf vs. Claudia is fought in the Storm Spire treasure room. In the bird shot, we can see Rayla, Callum, Zym, Ezran, and someone else. It's pretty obvious, but there's an earth-related race of golems now in play. Viren dies. There's some sunfire sacrifice that Amaya doesn't seem too happy about. There's a new terrifying monster that Callum hits away. More terrifying monsters in the Zym redesign reveal scene. The Queen of the Dragons does not seem to tolerate the Earth Golems in some way. Rayla fights the Dragon Rider in sunfire terrain.
There is also a shot of Claudia being rather friendly with an earth elf ("Terry") at 0:53. With the golems and potential earth dragon at the end, it might hint at earth elves being the main villains this time around, maybe in league with Aaravos.
Ezran is king, Callum a full blown mage, Zym turning into a big boy dragon. So much change which is exciting but also scary, i am looking forward to it after the long wait which i think will have been worth it.
AGGHH IM SO EXCITED OMG THIS LOOKS SO COOL. Callum and Ezran are all grown up, Callum is going to use black magic again, and Aunt Amaya and Janai are getting married. Not to mention Viren is only going to be alive for 30 days?? AND RAYLA LOOKS SO GOOD AKZNSJSJSSI This season is going to be really angsty but also really good…
But i can already tell ibis (the sky high mage) is gonna die 😢. We can see callum with his staff which could mean he is the new arch mage of the sky, we see a casket thing with birds flying in the sky and then we see claudia fighting him. I swear im gonna have beef with claudia if she kills him.
The timing of this is great! Just enough of a taste to get hype, and not to long of a wait that it feels like a tease. This is season is about to pop off!
1:17 My man Soren. I swear, they better have some deep story points for him. After the trauma of the last season, they better give him some healing, and a happier time. Acknowledging your father is evil, having to leave your sister because you can't break through your father's manipulation. Only to have your sister play the greatest mind fuck on you ever, he has to come to terms with the knowledge that he was willing to commit patricide, his sister turning on him further for it. Please, please, give him some more story points!!!!
Αφού θεωρούσαν νεκρό τον Viren ο Έζρα μαζί με τον αδερφό του Callum , κατάφεραν να ηρεμήσουν τα πράγματα. Με το χαμό που προκάλεσε ο Viren μαζί με τον aaravos ο callum έκανε μαγικά χωρίς σκοτεινή μαγιά και όλοι των αγαπούσαν των callum όμως σκεφτόταν την Rayla. Οταν εμφανίστηκε την είδε και είδε το πρωσοπο της και του θύμισε την μητέρα του όμως όταν ο καθρέφτης σπάσει ο aaravos θα απελευθερωθεί από την φυλακή του θα φέρει κατάστροφή αλλά δεν έδωσε σημασία στο καθρέφτη όταν ο Viren έκλεψε το αυγό μαζί και αυτόν. Τώρα ελέγχει τον Callum σαν μαργιονετα δηλαδή ελέγχει την σκοτεινή μαγιά που χρησιμοποίησε ο Callum για να σώσει αυτή που αγαπάει.
I love how people have been missing a huge thing in this trailer, Aravos is talking with Callum! Guess he might have found an apprentise or a partner he can use
To be technical, they don't speak in the trailer. Avaros had a figurine that looks like Callum, and he blows a kiss at the mirror as it shatters. Callum is seen studying/ practicing around a mirror, likely THE mirror.
