I did not like the Dragon Prince. Callum sounds like 10,000 nails on a chalkboard and Adam Sandler. Now I'm sure his actor's a nice guy, but he is not qualified for fantasy. Maybe he could work in Disenchantment which is parody of fantasy, but the only reason they cast him was because he's also Sokka, and I fucking hated Sokka. As for Calum himself, he's just a diet Sokka. To be fair he's not as annoying as Sokka, and is more quiet than Sokka, but he's still not a very interesting character. He's clumsy, oafish, not very smart, but it's ok, he has a good heart. He'll fall for whatever stupid plan you throw at him, but he's just so wide eyed and curious you can't help but feel sorry for him.
I'm going to say this right here and right now, I hate heroes who are clumsy and oafish. Their not qualified for their roles, almost never develop beyond being a clumsy oaf, often get their abilities handed to them without training(and even if they ARE trained, their not often properly trained), and they send badly written messages about being humble to people who believe that hard work is the best reward. And that lizard thing his brother has only exists to sell toys.
And Reyla changes from a rather interesting badass elf warrior, to a badly written waifu. Now I know waifu's can be badass, but a waifu should not start off as respect demanding badass elf girl. And her Waifu traits completely take over her respectable traits. Clearly someone still has not learned how to write anime characters properly.
The comedy is bad, the show refuses to take risks in storytelling. That being said, I might pardon the show if all the following happens. If Calum becomes stronger, more competent, grows up and gets smarter he could become a much better character. If the comedy becomes more restricted, I'll be very happy. If Calum's brother is given better writing I'll be happy. If Reyla becomes more serious again, and begins to teach and influence Calum I'll be happy. And Callum better not put his dick in Reyla. I wanted to break Aang's neck when he choose putting his dick his southern water tribe whore and dooming the world over sacrificing his feelings for her and saving the world.

k @MetallicaRules She's a boring Mary Sue who had little training, and somehow became a better waterbender then the best benders of the Northern Tribe, who should be the best of the best as they still have benders, while the Southern Tribe had none. And her relationship with Aang was terrible. She distracts him from duty, and gives him, and the audience a very naive view of the world and of war. She talked about hope so many times I almost hate the concept of hope now.
And him getting with her in the end is a huge lore break. If the only way for him to master the state was to give up his feelings for her, then he should have done that. He gives up his feelings for her, defeats Balon Greyjo... er I mean Ozai and saves the world, but now he and Katara can't be with each other. BOOM! That is drama, that is sacrifice, that is development.
How do I know this could work? Because I've seen it before. The Last Unicorn. The titular character is turned into a human woman in order to hide from an evil kings pet demon, but this makes her vulnerable to human emotions. As a result, she falls in love with a human prince and they have a shot at happiness with each other. But the cost is that her kind will remain the kings prisoners forever, maybe even die out. She gives her happiness, turns back into a Unicorn and frees her kind, and slays the demon, but now she and the Prince can't be with each other. And since Unicorns are immortal, she gets to spend eternity knowing what she lost.
Or Voltron Legendary Defender. Two of the main characters, a male human, and a female alien fall in love with each other, and it seems that they will make it. But the villain of the final season damages the source of time and space itself. causing reality to cease to exist. However, the female's alien magic(it's a sci-fi fantasy) can stop it. But the cost is that she is going to die. She gives up her mortal form, becomes a goddess, heals time and space, but now she and her lover can't be with each other, at least until he dies.
If Aang had do this, I'd applaud the show for showing that sometimes for the greater good, sacrifices must be made.

@MetallicaRules Pfft. Yeah, and from then on she's the best of the best with little training at all. Her insecurities were brought up in one episode, then never mentioned again. They go through hardships that should change and scar them, yet in the next episodes their the same idiots like before. The only training she had was up north, but a few days is NOT a full training. And Rey has one advantage Katara does not have. Rey is full grown, enough time to become self trained in combat and learning to fly ships(which also came with hazards). Children are not old or experienced enough to be the best at ANYTHING. Even prodigies require extensive training, be it with a mentor, or self training.
As for her in the movie, sure, people who don't live in warzones where you could get killed any day are SO cheerful... not. ANYONE living in a warzone would be cynical. That's the problem with Airbender. It shows humanity in the way we'd like it to be, but not as it truly is, just like how the movie shows the cartoon for what it really is... one giant piece of shit.
It was made perfectly clear that in order to unlock the state, a sacrifice had to be made, that sacrifice being giving up his feelings for her. And if the greater good demands it, sacrifices must be made. I gave up beef and corn for the sake of the environment. I sacrificed my future as a biological parent when I chose to never be a biological parent to prevent our surplus population from growing. And there's not a day that goes by where I mourn the loss of sweet hamburgers, corn on the cob, and holding a child that's all my own.
I'd even give up my humanity if it would be for the greater good. But Aang chose his selfish desires over his duties. And if his duties demand giving up emotional attachments if it means saving the world, he must do it since it's for the greater good. That is the mark of a true hero... which Aang is not. He's a selfish cowardly idiot who chose fun and games and his southern whore over duty, and thought that sparing the life of Balon Greyjo... er I means Ozai(Who is a flat, boring villain, and a complete rip-off of Balon Greyjoy, who's a much better written villain, AND was a TRUE waste of Mark Hamil's talent) was justice. Yeah, because the Allies SO would have spared Hitler had they captured him.
Go to hell and take your shit anime rip-off and fellow fans with you.

@aaronlogue6281 Here are other predictions I have.
From Season 2 and onward, the series becomes a dramedy. Don't worry, all the Matt Groaning comedy you'd expect from him will still be here, but after everything that's happened in the last 2 episodes, the tone of the show has been permanently changed. So from then on, in addition to comedy, there will also be moments where the comedy stops and the show needs to be dramatic, serious, warmhearted, sad, and maybe frightening.
Cloyd is Dagmar's father, and is the one who captured or arranged to have Luci captured. When Luci arrived, we learned that he was sent by Emperor Cloyd and his Enchantress to turn Bean evil, but we don't know why. I suspect it has something to do with her unknown magic powers. Dagmar also seemed to know what Bean's future held. So it might make sense if the two are in cahoots, or worse related to eachother. Cloyd however did not forsee that Bean would use the Elixir to ressurect her mother, but nontheless he is pleased by it, and we learn that he was the one who sent the ship that rescued Bean and Dagmar. As for Luci, he also ordered Luci to be captured as well... as he has failed.
Bean learns that Dagmar and Cloyd want her power to free a dark God of Evil from Hell. If Luci is a demon, that means there are dark forces at work in this world, so what if the highest authority in that party is introduced. I doubt this god will be present immediately and should be saved for the series finale. That being said, we learn that through a parody of the Chosen One trope, this God needs to devour Beans power and soul because she is also the only one who can defeat him once and for all.
Zog and Derek embark on a quest to find Bean, Oona and restore Dreamland. Since Zog and Derek were the only survivors of Dreamland, this makes it logical for them to find ways to reverse it. In this quest, Zog makes some much needed, and comedic character development to help him become a better person. Derek gets some more development as well, and is also looking for Oona.
Bean, Elfo and Luci escape from Cloyd and Dagmar and set off on a quest to find out about her destiny, find a way to ressurect Elfo, and save Dreamland. You didn't think I'd ignore the arc of our leading characters did you? While comedic misadventures still happen, the stakes are higher and all three go through character development. However, I dunno how this development should go. All the ideas I'd create would weaken the comedy that would be bad for a dramedy since both comedy and drama must be kept in equilibrium.
