Netflix's 'The Dragon Prince' May Not Be All That It Was Cracked Up To Be

I just binged this whole series with my roommate and I have to admit that I was the only kind of okay with what I watched. Now if you haven't heard about what this show is, Netflix just released a new original series called 'The Dragon Prince.' When I first heard about this show coming out I was pretty excited because this show is written by the same guys who wrote 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' so, with that in mind, I was really looking forward to this show. Yet there were a couple things holding me back from truly enjoying this show as a whole.

Before I go into what I didn't like, I do want to talk about what I did like and that was the writing. Now coming from the guys who wrote 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' I was expecting good writing. In this area, my expectations were greatly met. The plot and the characters were amazing. I loved being able to follow the storyline and I was greatly invested in what happened with these characters. It was also a very well rounded storyline and nothing seemed to be majorly lacking in this area. So good job writers it's an amazing story.

But when it comes to watching an animated series, I hope that there would be good animation, especially when it comes to being a Netflix Original. I mean look at the new animated movie they just released, 'NextGen' has amazing animation and is really good quality. 'The Dragon Prince' animation feels so choppy and not up to par with a lot of the other animated series and movies that are out there. Now I don't know if it was these animators first time or not, but this is something that had a lot of people working on it based on the credits.

Overall, it is still a good show and after a while, you do get used to the choppiness of the animation because the storyline is something that you can really get invested in, but I was really just hoping for a little bit more when I first heard about this show coming out. As far as the future goes, there aren't any official plans for a season two yet, but I will say that I would like a season two. I'm intrigued to see what happens with the storyline and what comes next. The plot and the characters had good backbones and were really investable and lovable to watch, but I hope that if there is a season two that the animation gets stepped up.

A step up in the animation would greatly make this show even more enjoyable because it will not be as distracting and pull you out of the world that you are experiencing. In the end, I truly hope that as time goes on this show just continues to get better, but I will admit for being the first season I just feel like the game should have been stepped up just a little bit more.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
