This show is very hit or miss for me too I think the problem is the show isn't trying anything new. Its very familiar and very predictable. There's no central theme or message or metaphor. Its just people who made avatar the last Airbender making another show. When I thibk of this era of animation inthibk of she ra and the owl house and kippo. Shows where the writer are trying to represent some under represented group or groups or concepts and trying soemthing different beyond just a basic narritige structure. And that isn't to say a show have to do thst to be good but a shownneeds to have a something. It can even be a writing type thing like a throwback to an unfamiliar genre or a musical or soemthing. Quite frankly I think that why I made a lot of comments about how thenelves are not as good as you seemed to think at first (and your rant last episode really made me apperiate your take more befuase youre not just accepting the elves as good and any wrongs claudia and Viren bring up are outright lies which is what it felt like you accused them of earlier) is because the interesting and not cliche/predictable element of the show is that the elves and dragons are in the wrong butbthe showndoesnt fully explore that with any depth. We get kiram and Viren who got as much depth as a footprint.

2025-05-08 17:16:19 +0000 UTCThe entire episode I was literally begging the show to hurry up with the Sea Legs twist cuz I was scared Elijah would just figure it out eventually and not have that "holy shit" reaction. She is too smart for this! xD I totally get the frustration about the writing, especially in moments like these. I'm a hobby writer and I've certainly done my fair share of lazy writing but moments like these just ruin the moment. For this specific situation, if they wanted Janai to be kidnapped why not simply have the bloodmoon girl be stronger and leave it at that? Nobody would complain and it'd be realistic, less frustrating than a bs excuse just to have Janai lose. It's okay if she can't kick everyone's ass. Everyone has limits, Janai is allowed to have them too.
