Dude that demon vs dragon fight was badass.

It’s funny because in the livestream when they summoned Yenk he was largely useless against Vorugal. That was so much fucking better.

I’m 7 episodes in. Trying to pace myself and enjoy it.

Two eps into S3. Hell of an opening to ep1, the dragons are appropriately hard to beat. Very enjoying the enemy in ep 2, threatening and effective and ambiguous.

Vex/Percy and Vax/Kayleth really need to get a room(s) and get it out of their systems already.

....but not Pike/ Scanlan, that's just wrong on every level.

Eps3 and 4 done. One room gotten, at least. The Hell thing was a bit overdone but the demon v dragon was GLORIOUS, as was the follow up.

K the baby dragons were rightly terrifying. That whole sequence was very well done. They did everything they could and were still overwhelmed.


....and it was painfully obvious where Percy's storyline was leading. Painfully. The moment he confessed his love... yep... here it comes.... and then they gave us that stupidly awesome gunfight sequence and it really looked like he stood a chance. ...and of course, OF COURSE HE HAD TO DO THE NOBLE STUPID THING FFS. I'm not really complaining, it was well done despite the obviousness of it.

Really interested in your thoughts on some of the changes they've done when you get to the end of the season considering you've watched the campaign.

into Ep 8 of season 3.
hard agree with Abyss on ep 7

Eps 8-9.

The twist w Thordak being ready for the attack was obvious but what came next.... DAMN. THAT WAS SO GOOD.


I absolutely love the moment when they are panicking, no one has a plan, everyone's freaking out....

GROG TAKES CHARGE.

And then the battle.... that was just wild. So much happening on screen, the pace was insane, the final moments pretty much perfect.

Even w Raishan's sudden-yet-inevitable-betrayal (nice touch, her taking Thordak's corpse w her) I'm kind of amazed there are still three eps left in the season after that.

[Macros]

Yep and yep.
Nearly done with 10, not really sure how it's.going to wrap up

[worry]

Finished the season. I think it wraps up pretty well, and breaks a couple holding patterns the show was treading water over. Those last three eps do have enough meat on their bones, so it’s definitely not just three episodes of denouement, though there’s that too.

[Abyss]

10 was surprisingly effective. Keyleth's magic quest was a bit trite but Pike tracking down Kaylie was cute and Vex n Vax going after Ripley was just fantastic.

[worry]

This year the animators bought a software plugin called "dapple everyone with sunlight through tree leaves".

[Macros]

Wrapped up.

I do think the seasons finale ultimately is a flaw for the show, in the ling run fatally so.
The lack of fatal removes real threat level.
