![]() This isn’t a throwaway character, either or a half-hearted attempt at the facade of inclusion. It’s not until you see a deaf character in a show that you realize how often you don’t see deaf characters represented. One of the very first things we noticed was that a human captive of the Sun Elves – the general Amaya – is deaf she communicates with sign language. Visually, it’s awe-inspiring and really is just as gorgeous as it is good at telling a compelling story. Creatures are truly fantastic and whimsical, like the little adoraburrs, but can also be impressively threatening like the dragons of Xadia. The animation is again very similar to The Last Airbender, but even more refined. ![]() Season 3 picks up beautifully from where season 2 left off and everything about it is well-designed, with a complex story that isn’t heavy and doesn’t require a supplemental book to keep up. ![]() Without spoiling anything, the story progresses as the humans move closer to war with the elves and dragons. The dragon prince himself comes into the foreground when, after 1,200 years, the humans kill the dragon king and take his egg, which holds the titular character. This requires the life force of magical creatures and animals, and so the humans are banished to section of the continent to ruin for themselves we are why we can’t have anything nice. The humans – who always seem to ruin everything – can’t use elemental magic, so in their lust for power, they dive into dark magic. There are fire elves, sea elves and so on. The elves and dragons find power in the elements, giving them magical abilities and giving each faction a unique concept. The show is set in Xadia, a continent with elves, humans and dragons. This isn’t Game of Thrones for kids it’s better than Game of Thrones and it’s easier to understand. Particularly, it does this without out-of-place exposition, layers of indecipherable names and convoluted plot points. The world here is rich with complex characters, backstories and fantastical elements, and the show does a fantastic job fleshing it all out. Even if you’ve never seen Avatar, though, there are plenty of reasons to greenlight this show on your kids’ watchlist. Particularly if you or your children were fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was written by the same person, then this show is going to just click. When we told him it was out, his face lit up like it was Christmas and he excitedly started explaining the backstory (which we will do in a much less sugar-hyper-six-year-old style). With season 3 just having been released to Netflix, we were determined to sit down and watch it with him. I started to wonder about just what was the deal with this show? Could it be that good? Why Your Kids Should Watch The Dragon Prince And You Should, Too He talked about it at dinner, he talked about it before school in the morning and it was what he wanted to talk to my husband about when he got home from work.Īnd when he ran out of episodes, he legitimately cried he was that into the story. Normally he’s pretty into tablet-time, but I’d never seen him so engrossed in any other show. The Dragon Prince is a show that my son stumbled upon one day while watching Netflix on his tablet. ![]() They are now a huge producer of exclusive content – for better or worse – but sometimes they really knock it out of the park. Men and women can be just friends.Netflix has come a long way since they were essentially streaming whatever content they could license. Barring the hug (which was after a separation of some time) neither hint at being anything more than best friends. Every time we see them it's a respectable distance and posture, the body language doesn't indicate want for the other person. They've been friends for a long time, I feel like if he was going to have a relationship with her there would be more hints at them being together or at least them wanting to be together romantically. I wouldn't say they're romantically involved just yet but they do seem to be heading there.Īs for Gren. ![]() DRAGON PRINCE AMAYA PLUSJanai also seemed more worried about Amaya's welfare than just "she is a fellow general, I respect her" especially in regards to how her sister acted, plus after they reach the top of the Spire she gets embarrassed about the "she's my prisoner thing" when Amaya makes light of it. DRAGON PRINCE AMAYA FULLJanai doesn't give me the impression of being the type to hold hands like that for someone that was arms length friends, I feel she may be going a bit further than that but not full on relationship. Personally the handholding and grins at each other speak more to a 'they will probably be romantically involved' path than a 'just friends' path. ![]()
