Yeah you really need to finish up the series, the last couple of episodes expand all the characters.
In regards to Soren anyone else feel like:
His line going:
"I don't have to worry about doing anything terrible because... now I can't do anything."
Honestly gave him a lot more depth? Like I didn't really care for him at all but it was in that moment that I genuinely felt sympathy for the character.

Aaravos is one of the few mages that mastered all 5 primals of the world iirc so yea he is the ultimate wizard
the comparisons to TLA really do this show no favors
It doesn't help that the show is being advertised by being created by one of the core writers from that show.
hes the first human to figure how to harness primal magic without a stone. He says it himself. The primal element of air has to be within him in order to breathe. Thus, there's no reason he shouldn't be able to use air based magic.
Yeah, that was a great continuation. Very excited for more.
Yup, lol. So good.She is the one
Its really hard to hate him since he is trying to do what he thinks is right and he isnt a bad guy. Just he looks up to a person who wants to just love him so he will do anything to get that.
Less likely I would have watched this show in the first place if it wasnt tho lol
He writes what he knows. I mean they do that in Ratatouille too kinda
What it seems like to me, is they're pacing episodes the same way they would a 20 episode season of the last Airbender, so it ends up feeling like almost nothing has happened over a season since there are only 9 episodes

Wait did he write Ratatouille?
That one Soren moment was hilarious to me. When he's like
I'm always super aware when any show starts using a cliche line like this, and always wonder how they're going to shake it up, or if it's just going to be said straight up. When he started saying this I was like there is no way this is going to be worth it, but it somehow got me lol.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me THREE times.... Back to you again.

Man I'm lowkey on the humans side when it comes to some of this dark magic stuff.
All these non humans actin all stuck up don't know what it's like to not be born with a magic conneciton smh.

Who really cares about a goddamn BUG
Pretty much the only way they could redeem how callous he seemed about murder earlier in the season. If he was truly this relieved to be paralyzed for the rest of his life, the earlier stuff must have been an act.
The pacing of this show is fucking awful. I legit finished the last episode of the season and was like, "I'm going to get some dinner before finishing off the rest of the season." I come back after ordering a Quesadilla only to learn that the last episode I watched was the season finale. Like, WTF? So much pointless meandering in the show where character arcs and events that show take about 1-2 episodes are padded out to 4-5 episodes. Why?!?!?!?!
Is it my imagination or "that" guy's voice actor is the same as the one who voiced "Kho the face stealer" in TLA? Especially suspect since there is another call back to Kho's form in that/those The Dragon Prince episodes?
Rayla is easily the best part of the series. Fuck you, fight me.Great season. Can't wait for more!
My favorite scene:
Yeahhh. I hope it turns out well. Something tells me it wont though.
Ooh, some subtle foreshadowing from the first season:
Oh snap.
What's the significance of having him be the narrator though
This is how I felt. Finally finished it. I kept reading this complaint about S2, and plotwise sure, there wasn't some huge movement on the wide plot, but in terms of our characters relationship's development, there were some monumental shifts. I thought they nailed several of those too. It made me care far more about these characters, and it seems like season 2 was all about character growth, laying stakes for season 3+ when the plot will pick up and make what happens matter more.
I came away from season 2 thinking this show is growing into something really special. They've filled out this world, laid out its lore, deepened where our characters stand with each other, gave them real consequences to deal with, loyalties now go further, and some torn, and now we get to see where they take it all.
That's true, we got that story from a very narrow perspective. Would be incredible to see Callum and Ezran's mother appear out of nowhere in some sort of shocking reveal.
Yeah I don't care much at all about the overall plot not moving too much. The character stuff is what made it good. Also I just don't find the overall plot SUPER compelling anyway, to me the good ness in this story will be all about the characters.
Much better than season 1. Great character moments. But the pacing still isn't great.
Also, I feel the world just isn't as interesting as Avatar. While I think something like The Legend of Korra was sloppier when it came to characters, the world building was great and the plot moved at a brisk pace.
You know, I'm starting to realize that when the Showrunners and head writer for A:TLA were together, they were amazing. But separate, both teams are lacking something.
And Rayla is the best.

Also, did anyone else think they were teasing Rayla x Callum?
It is, and as soon as my wife heard him speak she was like "Thats Kho!! This guy is bad news!! WTF dont listen to him Viren!"
2 maybe gripey things I have.
I'm surprised Viren could throw that whole patriarchy meeting thing without anymore of the higherups at Katolis knowing.
Also I feel like that bird lord dude could have easily just not done what Viren asked and told people about it lol

I really need to watch this. I gave it an episode or two in the first season, but it didn't grab my attention and I kind of trailed off. But I feel like I owe it another shot.
THe show's only flaw for me is a lack of episodes at the moment.
9 is too short.
I did have one complaint. They allowed the characters to meet up after the boat ride way too quickly lol. Like what the fuck. How was that even possible.

It's a series of cliffhangers!
Looking forward to more!
Oddly enough, Viren is both more villainous but also more sympathetic this season.
That "guy" is all mystery and menace and it's great. Especially since the repeated thwarting of the threat posed by Claudia and Soren, fun and competent as they are, is reaching Team Rocket levels.
There are so many things being teased and hinted at, it feels like there's a greater structure about to unfold which is pretty exciting.

Seeing as it's only been 5 months since the first season, the length seems fine to me. Just think of seasons 1 and 2 as two halves of an 18 episode season if it makes it easier.
I just finished Season 2 and loved it, particularly the way they fleshed out the world and characters. It's a real pity we can't get more of Callum and Ezran's mum (unless there's some kind of shock twist), cause she was great. Can't wait for Season 3, hopefully it comes just as quickly as Season 2.
Dug this season though I felt the pacing was kind of slow at times. Last episode as usual was great and next season is looking to be hype. The character designs are just fantastic, especially for the new ones this season.
The forced humor really holds this show back. They just can't exercise any restraint, can they?

Not sure I agree about forced humor. Honestly I found the humor to be quite good.
