we finally finished s5 of the dragon prince with my roommate and man that show is doing things to me... the last 2 episodes were absolutely incredible i am. on the floor
#the dragon prince#the dragon prince spoilers#(bc of the tags)#the whole thing with soren choosing not to fight back against elmer to show him that he didn't have to take finnegrin's shit#because he recognized his own relationship to viren in the finnegrin/elmer dynamic. fucking. ended me#soren is such a bonkers insane character i am unwell#90% of the time he's just a silly little guy !! he's the comic relief !!#and THEN. he gets the most emotionally devastating moment of character development you've ever seen. absolutely unhinged#and then the whole thing with claudia in the last episode. GOD. could write a fucking essay about claudia and viren's entire arc#and man it gets DARK but i think it's really lovely that they don't let the fact that it's supposed to be a 'kid's show' get in the way#of the story they want to tell#like. all of the characters are nuanced and their relationship to each other are deeply layered whether they're villains or heroes#the storytelling is *chef's kiss* and it dives into truly complex issues and character dynamics#in a way that feels organic and not overly moralistic#they don't shy away from showing the ugly side of things#like the moment when callum literally gets TORTURED ? i was like wow. they're really going there#same with viren's fever dream#and like it's clearly intended for older kids#but still. i love that they respect kids' ability to handle pretty dark stuff and to understand nuanced storytelling#without having to make everything exceedingly literal or censoring themselves#this show genuinely has better writing that a lot of 'adult' tv i've seen and it's often on par with some of the best stuff i've watched#and yeah. that's really precious i think#oops i ended up writing an essay in the tags lmao. oh well#mara talks
