The Dragon Prince

So, you finished watching most of your intended shows and you have no clue on what to watch next?

Well, thanks to my daughter, and her amazing taste (specially when it comes to dragons) she introduced me to this amazing series called The Dragon Prince which is currently on Netflix.


I believe most of the production team from Avatar: The Last Airbender is also responsible for this hidden gem. 

IMDb

The style is also reminiscent of Avatar, but do not be fooled, it is not Avatar in the least.


So, what is this show about, you ask.


Well here's a quick synopsis (spoiler free, of course):


In the kingdom of Xadia, humans have corrupted the 6 magic elements and created dark magic. The Dragon King gets killed by the humans with the dragon egg. Everyone thinks they're both gone, but two brothers, Callum and Ezran find the egg and must deliver it to the Dragon Queen in Xadia, no try and stop the war that was started and bring peace to both Xadia and the human land.


Obviously,. there is more to the story, but then I would have to spoil things. 


The story is compelling and intriguing. It feels like you're going on the journey with them, something a kin to Frodo taking the ring to Mount Doom. There's definitely more than meets the eye to the simple quest story, but we won't find out until the series progresses. But it's definitely a story that is worth following. 


The animation is absolutely stunning, it beautifully captures the two lands, the struggle between both humans and magical creatures.


The characters are also well rounded and compelling. There are quite few to pick from for the 'favorite character' title.  I specially love Rayla and General Amaya, they're bad-asses in their own right. As for the villains, they're also complex, well-rounded characters whom bring a good balance to the heroes. 


I'm definitely enjoying the series and look forward to season 2. 


So, if you like dragons, fantasy, magic, epic quests, etc. you might want to definitely check out the series, currently on season 1.

Gotta Run Away Fast.

We've all seen the trailers for the upcoming release of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu  and most of us have gotten excited to see our favorite Pokemon come to life (CGI, of course) on the big screen. One of the most iconic Pokemon have been Pikachu, and what we've seen, he is stinkingly adorable in anime form or live-action. The animation for the CGI was well handled for what we've been able to gather from the trailers. digitalspy.com So, it makes sense that other production companies want to cash in the nostalgia fever and releases their own spin on classic icons of classic games. But, what in the HECK are you guys thinking at Paramount?!?! About a day ago or so, the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog movie was release, and let me tell you, Sonic looks like something that was brought from the darkest pits of hell. Seriously, what were the animators thinking?! It's not cute, nor endearing, or even worth of the namesake. Newsweek.com Whatever that was, it was...

I Want a Refund

Hello!! O.k, so no I haven't disappeared yet again on you guys, but last week was eventful since, my In-Laws decided to come for an entire week for a much needed family vacation in my neck of the woods. It was a roller coaster, with up's & down's, but overall we all had an enjoyable experience. Except for Friday... On this day, we decided as a family to finally go see Avengers: Endgame  in theaters. So, my husband, along with my MIL, FIL & daughter (and I of course) headed to the movies. In advance, we reserved our tickets, with reserved seating (it was an IMAX theater) and off we went. We decided that we would do one of the last showings just because we already knew that it was a 3 hour long movie, so, we were o.k with that. The movie theater was not full (due to maybe time, etc). So, we went up, took our seats and prepared to be wowed. Maria Rivas/Instagram Nope, we got annoyed. We had noticed that in our same row, there was another small group of ...

Sink your teeth into Castlevania.

It is almost February and within the time that I've been missing, there have been so many news, that it is kind of hard to talk to you guys about everything. Lately, I must admit that I've been in a weird funk of watching interesting shows, movies, that are not necessarily in everyone's radar. Yes, I could talk about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, or anything else that has been buzzing around the internet. But lately, with all the nay-sayers, I've kinda gotten into this funk of finding lost treasure in shows that might not be well known, or given enough time of day, due to either people not knowing, or just glossing over.  One of those 'diamonds in the rough' that I recently was made aware of is 'Castlevania' on Netflix. There's only two seasons of the animated series, and I basically binged watched season 1 yesterday with the Hubby.  And seriously, if you haven't seen this animated series, it really is damned good.
