Dragon Prince

I don't know man, I think the show is pretty much hitting us over the head with "Dark Magic is bad." There's a few cases where it does good things in the show, but there is ALWAYS a price to pay.

I fully suspect that by the end of the show, Callum will figure out that humans can learn primal magic, but it's just really hard.

Why is it that everyone ignores the heavy evidence that black magic behaves like a hard drug?

It appears to take more and more of a toll on the body, literally causing face damage like fucking meth, and OD'ing when someone doesn't show you how to shoot up properly. Then when you get older you need to use regularly, keeping a little bit with you all the time to stave off withdrawals. Viren literally has butterflies to deal with it man.

Worse, you'll make any excuse to keep shooting up. Listen to Claudia start excitedly talking about SQUEEZING the life out of animals when she's in the moon temple like she's looking at a bunch of needles.

The show's used bigger and bigger animals for dark magic. Obviously it's building toward sacrificing at least one person or a dragon for some extremely powerful spell, and the show wants us to dislike dark magic before that happens.

>you don't NEED to shear a sheep for its wool
>shearing must be practiced for the health and hygiene of each individual animal.
At least pick an example that isn't wrong.

Disgusting. How can you say that? I'll have to obliterate you with lightning for such words, killing you painfully. It's the only moral solution.

Elves are literally better than humans in every possible way. Humans are the inferior species that got rightfully shoved off into the shitty part of the continent.

I just HATE the fact that it's fucking Callum to be the first fucking human Mage/Primal Magic User.

It's just fucking Chosen One bullshit. Are you goddamn telling me that out of the MANY millions of human beings, NONE ever meditated, or tried to reach out and connect with the elements? That no well coin-'d a noble and Lordling never paid to research how and why magic works for humans differently than elves?

It's just stupid. If there's nothing special about Calum, then how the fuck did NOBODY else throught human history learn?It's stupid and I dislike it.

Now , if you tell me that due to being close to the elemental spirit of Storms and a Dragon suffused his soul in a way that's unlikely to be ever replicated?

Sure.

We're going to breed them out. Their tiny 4 fingered female hands fit inside our dominate male 5 fingered hands.

Humans advance through learning about how the natural world works, controlling it to survive. Elves survive by worshiping it, accepting the gifts it gives but never truly understanding why things exist. We will eventually outpace the cultists, and the only part of them that will be left are women smart enough to understand how superior advancement is to stagnation.

I hope we find some reclusive human primal mages or something in Xadia, just to show this isn't a unique thing to Callum, just something that is very hard to do that was forgotten about when Dark Magic entered the picture.

Sokka and Katara were very much not vegetarian, being an from a society that was inspired by inuits who have a diet of mostly red meat, and they were both good people.

You don't NEED to eat meat. At least not very much.

Aang was just meant to be from a different culture. He never saw himself as morally superior for it.
I think the only allusion to it was during the earthbending lesson, and even that was mainly Sokka just being an idiot for choosing the wrong target, rather than being an idiot for eating meat as a whole.

>absolute statement
>backpedaling qualifier
You should see what a 100% vegan diet does to people. Those vitamin percentages mean fuckall as your body needs to convert them into the actual vitamin. So let's say you're a healthy adult and you're trying to get a full dose of Vitamin A just from vegetables, you actually need about 12,000% because your body converts about 12:1, if it's healthy. You may not be able to keep up at all if you have any medical ailments. This is why the 100% pure vegans look great for years, and after 10 years are loosing teeth all the time and look like they escaped Berkena. Their tissues and organs can't keep up any more and the stored vitamins and minerals are gone.

I wish they'd show more black magic users. Something tells me they're addicted to their own goddamned stupidity just the same. They'd kill themselves rather than give up on their cult of obsession, the cult of feeding off of creatures both dead and alive when it isn't necessary and is self-harming. Consuming a creature when it is for nourishment is one thing. Eating it because you think it's right to eat all the things is right is another.

Just eat peas or nuts

You're missing the point. They have no idea what the hell they're doing, and this is Yea Forums, not /ck/ which also turns into a shitfit. Also, that's just one vitamin that's just blatantly mislabeled because our government is a joke and won't bother to distinguish.

He managed to learn it by himself, so it can't be that hard if you have instructions and someone to show you how.
And his brother is already screaming Earth Arcanum, with his talking to animals.
I bet humans do have all kinds of technically magical abilities that are just so minute as to go unnoticed, or never talked about because they fear them to be mere imagination. A blind sailor? Come on, he must be feeling the wind and the waves beyond normal ability.
I bet humans will be a kind of random affinity deal where you have to find out what element suits you, and then you can build on that.
So once you know that:
1. You CAN learn magic
2. You have a set affinity
3. You can attune fully to your element via some technique
Then it's much, much easier than for Callum. Who is by default the arch mage of the Sky Arcanum now, I guess.

Didn't realize Rayla was born with the Karate Arcanum.

Ok, funny.

>Humans advance through learning about how the natural world works,
That's the thing, man there is like man here: parasitic. We strive for more without order. We don't want to progress so much as we want to conquer what is around us. There was an Arcadian Utopia before dark magic (a form of submitting nature to your will) was created. Humans forgot that they were a part of nature, they went from inside to outside, and that's a bad thing judging from IRL history. Elves living in the east have IRL Oriental ideas, look up Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism. It aligns. While humans of the west have Western thoughts of domination.

Also, why would you want to breed out Rayla's race? Why would you hurt her that way? I'd rather appreciate her from a distance instead of interacting with her or anything she does, since I'd be tampering with something much more higher than me. Look at the face of the picture you just posted. Why would you want to destroy that? She's beautiful.

Aang is a lot like Jesus in that regard, if you believe the theory of his ideas coming from India during his 20 power gap.

I want to see her with flowers in her hair, walking around in fields of Eden with nothing but solemn love for everything around her in her heart. I wish the achieve peace between their races, war is such a shame.

>I wish they'd show more black magic users.
Except they don't. They notably don't.
It'd be one thing if Dark Magic was rampant and humans where overly reliant on it but all we've seen is one guy and his daughter.

>We strive for more without order. We don't want to progress so much as we want to conquer what is around us.
You have some seriously conflicting stuff going on here. The nature of science and human advancement is classification and order. Conquest of that which is around us is natural side affect of knowing more, being more organized, and putting more to use; than everyone else.

>There was an Arcadian Utopia before dark magic
>Humans forgot that they were a part of nature
>Elves living in the east have IRL Oriental ideas
Hippie horseshit. The only pieces of evidence we have from that area point towards other races on the continent treating humans like shit for not inherently being born with magic. You can try to twist this into some new age lesson about valuing nature but they're backwards assholes and brought this upon themselves.

>There was an Arcadian Utopia before dark magic (a form of submitting nature to your will) was created.
That Arcadian Utopia was apparently pretty shitty for humans. Sure that text could have overblown it but a Trail Of Tears situation doesn't occur without an already uneven power dynamic.
Even before the displacement, humans seem unaware that they can access primal magic.

Also core tenants haven't stopped Hindu and Buddhist nationalism and extremism which definitley have thoughts of domination.

If common sense tells you humans only ever do dark magic and it takes talks with Elven magic users, a magically induced feverdream and the experience of the elemental powers while you foolishly try to get magic to work for you, then it's conceivable that you are the first to not grab a convenient elemental stone or a unicorn hoof to draw upon magic.

>Conquest of that which is around us is natural side affect of knowing more, being more organized, and putting more to use; than everyone else
I'd argue that if we knew even more we wouldn't "touch" so many things, and if we did we'd do so with more respect.

>like shit for not inherently being born with magic
Elves would have to better themselves here. If not, humans would have to be the bigger "man" and rise above the discrimination, similar to how niggers could stop being niggers. Anyways that discriminative idea will stop when Callum opens up Pandora's Box and gibs ebin magikz to all teh humanz!!1

>That Arcadian Utopia was apparently pretty shitty for humans
My bad, I forgot that scene. Hmmm, what could humans do to not be discriminated against in that situation? I bet that's the reason some took on nibba magic, so as to show the elves they can do magic too, but that's a shortcut. What could've humans done in that past situation to resolve their situation? You can't say something that implies Violence since that'd be the easy route. I honestly can't think of anything.

>Also core tenants haven't stopped Hindu and Buddhist nationalism and extremism which definitley have thoughts of domination
Fair point. But that's more on the people than the religion. Kinda like Christianity and the Inquisition.

If by opening Pandora’s box you mean putting benis in elf bagina, then maybe you’re on to something.

I fucking hate the argument that it's inconceivable Callum was the first.

He's already been using primal magic of his affinity through a super rare primal stone, has had guidance from people with affinity for that primal, has been hanging out with goddamned elves, and just fucking OD'd.

Yeah that happens all the time. Just meditate I'm sure you'll get your affinity.

I meant the b0x with elements on it. Honestly, how long will it take for Callum to try out making all the sides glow as a key? What do you think is inside? I'm thinking what I said earlier with it having human's magical primal sources (remember, in some cases having all of something is akin to not having anything), or maybe it contains something that'll purify the primal source of dark magic, making it light magic.

>I'm thinking what I said earlier with it having human's magical primal sources
I'll laugh so hard if it turns out the cocksucking elves locked away humanity's ability to use magic.

Nah Dark Magic is clearly shown to have some pretty dire side effects.

Netflix deserves to die out for perpetuating putrid "political correctness" ideas. The world will no longer stand for such tripe and will set Man on the throne once again.

What is "fujo posting"?

But the Emperor was ok with the Eldar.

It clear has addictive and harmful properties for the user. Pretty sure in a couple more years, Claudia will be sucking dick for a hit of black magic.

The Victorian stuff is the result of horny Viren fujos making an AU.

Fujos. Middle-aged single women obsessed with shipping, bara, and gay men. Fujo posting would be people posting shit like them.

Thank you, anons. It's so nice to see a friendly reply.

While it does take toll on the body, it doesn't act like a drug. Claudia and Viren keep using it since it's an easier, more straightforward solution to get what they want.

>I bet humans do have all kinds of technically magical abilities that are just so minute as to go unnoticed, or never talked about because they fear them to be mere imagination. A blind sailor? Come on, he must be feeling the wind and the waves beyond normal ability.
Wasn't it implied that he has sky arcana in him? He did say the same thing about "feeling where the wind blows" just as Rayla said about being invisible in the moon "It just makes sense".

So far the arcana bullshit is about getting that "click" and just getting it.

>I'd rather appreciate her from a distance
Cuck.

I think the point was that Callum realized that he could tap into the World's arcanum, and use it like a primal stone. I don't think that means he has a permanent Sky Arcanum in his body. Not sure what makes him special, though.

I know for a fact that I am a despicable person. I am lazy, I am angry, I am stubborn and I am unkind. If I got into a relationship with anyone I'd end up dragging other people down with me. So of course I'd prefer to stay happily alone, and of course I wouldn't want to stain her.

>Even before the displacement, humans seem unaware that they can access primal magic.
This is the thing I find most weird, because clearly the ones shown dark magic by Aaravos should have been vaguely aware of the idea that he could get access to primal magic other than Star. We know he has access to multiple sources, probably all of them.

So if Aaravos could do it, and presumably also other elves throughout history, why did no human bother to consider it?

It doesn't make sense for NOBODY to have figured it out before. Unless the knowledge was deliberately being suppressed, but the elves don't seem to think it's possible either, at least none of the elves we've seen.

That leaves either other elves (royalty perhaps), the dragons, or Aaravos (well, we knew he was hiding the knowledge from humans anyway, he wanted them to use dark magic).

I'm leaning in to Elven or Dragon highee ups. Aaravos being able to master all Primal Magic has implications for all Elves too. Imagine if Xadia functioned on some sort of segregated Arpatheid system where the Elves where "different but Equal" and the humans where just different.

It could be a way of brining back depth to the situation if they insist on treating Dark Magic as inherently bad.

Fujos are harmless and generally chill. It's newer shippers now who pick fights with creators, when they figured out they could back up their escapist fantasies as being a moral issue.

Said Shippers hate Fujos because they don't pay mind to any of that.

>An elf DOESN'T NEED to kill the king

Given the assassination was tit-for-tat after humans killed the dragon king and (it was thought at the time) the king's unborn child, I don't get why people keep bringing up the assassination attempt as some unreasonable, unthinkable act by bastard elves.

It's a cycle of violence. It wasn't good for the humans to kill a Titan. It wasn't good for the dragon king to kill the queens and Sarai. It wasn't good for the humans to kill Thunder and steal his child in response. It wasn't good for the elves to kill Harrow and try to kill Ezran. But the recent back-and-forth is pretty defensible on both sides.

>Elves and Dragons DIDN'T NEED to attempt genocide and commit forced exile of the entire human race.

And this is where you're more reasonable (although, did they try to commit genocide? Not that a trail of tears is much better, but did they go full elf Hitler?).

>There isn't any.

Think of it like this: a farmer raises his pigs, respects them, doesn't treat them cruelly. He slaughters them himself, eats everything he can, etc. Earns the meal, respects the source.

A CAFO crams thousands of pigs into a tiny space and clips parts off those pigs so they won't bite each other out of sheer panic and despair, slaughters them in torturous ways (there's a reason Iowa had ag-gag laws when I was in college), creates well-poisoning shit-lagoons nearby, and pumps all the creatures full of antibiotics rather than maintain healthy breeding conditions (which can lead to antibiotic-resistant superbugs eventually hitting the consumers of the meat down the line).

Both involve, superficially, the same steps: raise meat. Kill meat. Eat meat. But the dignity of the process, the pain inflicted, and the environmental effects are far different. Bear in mind I say this as a guy who eats fuckloads of meat.

I don't think people are ignoring that as much as you think, I think they take issue with the very idea that it should be anything like a hard drug. Which baffles me because this portrayal of dark magic is not in any way new, at all, if memory serves "magical shortcuts that seem benign at first but ultimately take an ever-increasing toll on the user" is a well-worn fantasy trope.

I dunno, something tells me Viren's going to go full Trainspotting once he's in a prison cell and can't siphon mana out of little creatures every morning. Dude needs butterfly energy every day just to keep himself from looking like Count Orlok.

>"dapper" gents

are you saying you wouldn't fuck a guy in a dashing waistcoat? what are you, gay?

Hard Priorities? I stopped at chapter 20 since its edge was increasingly hard to bare. IMO, Callum is out of character and too mature, almost a Mary Sue, and his language seems too static at times. Azymondias seems to be ignored most of the time and many scenes feel off, like when they're attacked at their camp and Callum carries Rayla a mile. That's just stupid, moreso considering she could've ran by herself, but I digress. There are many more examples of that. The whole fic's theme is cheap satisfaction. I would've liked a romance but not a rushed one.
Honestly, it's probably just me since I have a bias against romance fics. Is that fic really the best this fandom has rn?

It this point it's more Ezran that's way mature, and all the other characters point that out. Az is definitely ignored a lot. Half the chapters aren't about Rayla/Callum but about politics in the pentarchy and every time Rayla and Callum start going at it they stop. Recently Callum literally got blue balled by Rayla, as have the reader. Still enjoyable enough to pass the time between seasons and frequent updates are nice, It's got the same dumb tone and themes as the show basically despite having sex and stuff thrown in

What ticked me off was that scene where Callum gets up after getting stabbed and says "oh look, you got Rayla mad enough to stab you". That doesn't sound natural at all. And when you say Callum is more mature, idk. I'd say that he's too mature again, almost robotic, but I'm to lazy to cite some parts as example from the fic so I'll give you that point.

>Still enjoyable enough to pass the time between seasons and frequent updates are nice
Sure.

>It's got the same dumb tone and themes as the show basically despite having sex and stuff thrown in
It's got the tones, just not quite. Again, I don't think it's bad, it's just for me.

>It this point it's more Ezran that's way mature,

>hard priorities dragon prince fic
I thought it was an erotic fic. That's only rated T.

Honestly it makes no sense that they don't have a whole corp of Dark Magic users. Unless the trick to Dark Magic is a jealously guarded secret, but it really doesn't seem to be difficult.

Any other fics worth reading?

Maybe it still takes a considerable amount of time to learn a lot of spells, or it could be that because the items are consumed on use, its just unreasonable to field a bunch of mages at once. Like, that tendril spell that Claudia did needed a octopus tendril. It could be a logistical nightmare to get a couple hundred of those for each mage in a platoon. Also, each of them might need a grimoire or other supplemental materials to cast the spells.

It probably takes a lot of study and materials that the average dude just doesn't have the time/money/patience for.

It has (or it'll have) secks time

>Any other fics worth reading?

Because it's a well-worn fantasy trope?
A lot of marketing media and interviews promoted the series as having a lot of thought having gone in to the magic system and world building.
Yet so far it feels likes the show is just retreading well established cliches rather than having built anything new of it's own.

It also got pushed as having grey and grey morality and Game of Thrones for kids, but so far it's been pretty black and white. Or at least dark, slate grey and white.

It could have been so much more.

From that thumbnail it looks like a show that takes itself seriously, when I open it I can see their baby faces and crappy cel-shading.
When I actually watch the show the crappy cel-shading ends up being atrocious without the lightning and the writing is literally as baby-tier as their faces.

Dark Magic seems less cruel than either. The creature is free untill the point it's caught and killed and that event at least brings the factor of luck into play.

The only danger is overhunting but there's no reason why that cannot be regulated.

I can only think of consensual sex in the missionary position, with the lights out, under the blankets, holding hands for the sole purpose of procreation.

Actually you do, modern sheep are genetic freaks that will keep growing wool until they overheat and die.

There's the fact that Callum has a photographic memory. That probably makes it easier for him to learn.

This. You probably have to be in a place of power and then crack yourself wide open by using dark magic. Then you have to meditate.

Cute.

All of them are taller than me except for Ezran.

Humanity is not parasitic, it is natures logical conclusion. Humanity always hungers and so it always seeks to grow. It is smart enough to break the established order but dumb enough to never truly fix it. This culminates in a species that is always forced to grow, adapt and overcome. It is never without adversity, creating the problems that it only ever half solves.

This is the natural order. A self contained cycle of rapid evolution, exceeding the pre-established limitations nature's early creations had formed. Man has supplanted these creations.Not because they have broken from the nature order or its rules, but instead because they embrace them more than any before. This so called conquest is merely the result of a constant necessity for humanity to keep up with it's own success. And in a poetic and beautifully designed twist, humanity is ignorant of this fact. Trapped in a cycle that will one day see them claim the very stars.

With all this said, ultimately it is in fact the elves who seek to deviate from natures design. They attempt to control a system made to change, to contain an order built from chaos. Be it by humanity's hand or any number of natures new creations, the natural order will change and the elves, stuck in stagnation, will not be able to change with it.

Adapt or die, so say the rules of life.

Any news on the video game?

Why the fuck would they make a video game? Stick with s3 ffs

There's been a video game planned from the start of the show. Apparently, the plan is for it to be a separate story, just set in the same world as the show.

>Claudia uses dark magic to kill one deal to heal her crippled brother
>the show somehow tries to make this look like some act of pure evil.

i just dont buy it.

Eating a pork chop doesn't give you the ability to cast a magical spell that can kill a griffin which will give you a bunch of feathers you can use to create magical certain-kill ballista bolts that you can use to kill a dragon that will give you fucktons of ultra-powerful magic materials.

Dark magic's problem, morally, is that it has no limitations. When you eat, you're limited by the size of your stomach. When you use Dark magic, you can just keep going forever. Ever feeling a little rough, maybe a bit worn out from casting? Just slaughter a baby deer and you'll perk right on up. Keep going and going forever.

And we've seen Dark magic can cause addictions. Whether that's inherent to the method of casting or if it's just because it's such a freely-available rush of power, we don't know, but it's definitely true that Viren's addicted to the stuff. Can you imagine how dangerous it is for someone to be ADDICTED to a hyper-powerful form of magic that can END WINTER for a year, that has no limits on usage, and that scales itself up so fucking hard? An uncontrolled Dark mage can become a gigantic problem in a few weeks just because they get a stupid idea in their head.

So that's why DM has to be generally looked-down upon, probably banned. It's dangerous. And this leads to the second problem with it - if you're the type of person who uses DM despite KNOWING it has a bad rep, despite KNOWING the reasons why it's feared, then you're probably exactly the sort of person who shouldn't be using Dark Magic. You're proud, foolhardy, you think you know better than everyone else, and you've probably got a weak enough will to get captured by the magic's addiction. So not only is dark magic dangerous, but anyone who uses it is likely the sort of person who would abuse its power because they lack basic self-awareness.

would elves be less but hurt if humans turn out to have the dark acanum, proving that dark magic is just a subset of primal magic.

it should be called life magic, or vitality magic since that is the magical force it manipulates and draws power from.

I'm still fond of "Meatomancy" myself.

Arcadia was a pipe dream by greek cosmopolites. Nature isn't a nursing mother IRL, its a series of non sapient forces, and learning more about it and understanding how to use it is hardly evil.

In TDP animals can think, and have behaviour, so being vegan there is a bigger moral duty than In real life.

I suppose it depends on if they’ve already got the background sorted out already, or if they’re still tuning it

are all elves vegen? that would explain their autism regarding dark magic.

Who's to say that elves can't accomplish the same while still regarding nature? Who's to say humans can't regulate themselves more?

>Humanity is not parasitic, it is natures logical conclusion. Humanity always hungers and so it always seeks to grow.
Wouldn't elves be nature's logical conclusion too? What about animals? And by your logic, isn't nature's logical conclusion a parasite? That sounds silly, imo.

>Trapped in a cycle that will one day see them claim the very stars
Yes. Us destroying our planet will eventually be the reason to really increase our space exploration, but it doesn't have to be the reason.

>seek to deviate from natures design.
Hmm. I really don't know how to reply to this. Is wanting to abide by natures gifts going against its nature of change? Does change have to imply a destructive domination of our surroundings? I don't think so. Your saying that humanity's inherent nature is to reach for more while using other things as tools. Again, isn't this the same with elves? Why does it have to be destructive?

>Nature isn't a nursing mother IRL
If we can make nature our bitch, why not make it just that?

>its a series of non sapient forces
And? The non sapient life is still the rarest thing to have occurred in our universe, as far as we know of. It being stupid doesn't make it lose value.

in reference to killing the pig as a resource, no, there is no difference. In what that resource is though, there is. We know dark magic has a corrupting/addicting influence. So yeah, making bacon out of a pig is a fine thing, making heroin out of a pig, not quite so much.

>Wouldn't elves be nature's logical conclusion too? What about animals? And by your logic, isn't nature's logical conclusion a parasite? That sounds silly, imo.
In a sense yes, technically everything is. Elves and Humans are animals. If by parasite you mean living off the natural resources around them, also yes. That's what all living things do.

>Yes. Us destroying our planet will eventually be the reason to really increase our space exploration, but it doesn't have to be the reason.
What you don't realize is as humanity destroys, it creates. Those resources are converted and used. Forests become farms and housing, limestone becomes concrete. It is not as if these things just disappear, they change, as I already said. Why leave things as they are if they could be better?

>Is wanting to abide by natures gifts going against its nature of change?
Define "Abiding by natures gifts".

>Does change have to imply a destructive domination of our surroundings?
Destruction of the establish system? Generally, yes. So long as the species is successful and the population grows, it will eventually expand into environments not adapted to deal with the new species. As such, it will be forced to adapt, as key species are lost. Eventually, a new order is created and so the cycle continues. Humanity has simply improved on this process by creating the order themselves.

>Your saying that humanity's inherent nature is to reach for more while using other things as tools.
Elves use other things as tools. Humanity creates their own. It's the same difference, but one actually seeks to improve.

>Why does it have to be destructive?
To create something one must change something else. To change something is to destroy what it was.

>It being stupid doesn't make it lose value.
Value isn't inherent, it must be found and proven.

>And by your logic, isn't nature's logical conclusion a parasite?
Parasites are a part of nature.
Heck, "Nature" and "Parasites" are categories and ideas we've created and applied.

>If we can make nature our bitch, why not make it just that?
This planet isn't our bitch and it's not our mother. It's not sentiant and it's going to outlive and outlast us no matter what we do.

Not gonna lie. In my wildest dreams after watching High School Musical did I ever expect Zach Efron would become a comedic powerhouse.

Unless we last like 4 billion years and the sun has expanded far enough to consume the planet. Fat chances the humans will be around, but rng is special and our descendants might still be around, in whatever form they may be.

I doubt it's going to stop at one deer. She'll probably have to keep sneaking off to consume more and more life so she can keep zapping her brother and she'll have a head full of silver hair by the end of the season. Remember, Viren has to kill butterflies every morning to keep his glamor spell going or else he looks like a nightmare. And he doesn't use super-powerful magic that often. Imagine what constantly un-paralyzing somebody would do.

Right? Very pleasant surprise. I hope the rumors about him joining the next GotG sequel are true.

>Why leave things as they are if they could be better?
I guess that's just different opinions. IMO, a forest IS better than farms and houses. Limestone IS better than concrete. I'm not saying that they're bad, just too abused. For example, I think what we have right now is way past more than enough.

>Define...
Living in an Arcadian, or something similar. Think humans 20,000 years ago, but smarter. Or elves in this context.

>Humanity has simply improved on this process by creating the order themselves.
I agree with this line, but I have to say that, when you watch the news, media, entertainment, hell just go to a /rekt/ thread in /gif/, it becomes hard to believe in our so called "order".

>Destruction of the establish system? Generally, yes.
Then what about elves! They aren't as destructive and yet look at them go! I mean, you don't have to be too destructive in order to progress.

>but one actually seeks to improve.
Where is it stated that elves' tools don't improve also?

>To change something is to destroy what it was.
I agree. But there's a difference in cutting down some tress and using some rocks to build yourself a rock than doing what China does with real estate. Look up "China ghost cities", it'll only take you 3 mins to see what I'm talking about.

>Value isn't inherent, it must be found and proven
Your are correct here. But, I choose to believe things are more than what they are, and that that is what they are, and I think others should, too.

>Parasites are a part of nature.
There's a difference between the algae on trees and tapeworms in animals. I should've specified more, my bad.

>This planet isn't our bitch or our mother
We currently have the ability to destroy all life on Earth if we so choosed. I'd say the planet is our bitch rn.
What I mean is that, in our capability to change things around us, why not do it for the better of all life? Our intelligence should bare some responsibility for others.

When I asked , I know that a life form needs to be sacrificed to make/extract dark magic, but I'm wondering if you can use inanimate objects to do the actual extraction of it, and performing the spells powered by the magic, so that human users aren't harmed in the process.

So when do we get exposed Claudia pits?

when she has to dress like Rayla to sneak into Xadia

Fair point (although I wouldn't be surprised if large-scale dark magic requires more brutalization), but it doesn't address the other issues with the CAFO comparison: long-term risks (abuse of antibiotics as a shortcut around feeding animals properly/keeping their conditions clean) and pollution (dollars to doughnuts we'll see "blighted" areas of Xadia where dark magic ran rampant or something). But setting that aside, and this isn't addressed specifically at you: what exactly do people want shown to justify dark magic being bad? A series of episodes that go, in-depth, into why industrialized extraction of energy from living creatures is worse for a fantasy world than consequence-free use of ambient magical radiation (the primals)? An author tract about the magical equivalent to renewable energy versus fossil fuels? Some big reveal that while it seems like it's harmless, dark magic causes untold agony to every creature that fuels it?

It's a worldbuilding Kobayashi Maru. Go with a simple "it runs against the course of nature" argument and people will complain that lots of things go against nature (glasses! crop rotation! etc) and extracting life energy ain't much different from eating a cut of steak (although I'd like to see them forego nice, bloodless cooked pork loin for drinking blood straight from a just-killed pig). Go into the shades of gray, try to give a more complex reason, and nothing you offer is good enough.

Why was The One Ring bad? All you have to do is use it carefully and you can turn invisible and shit. Oh wait, it's because Toliken was a Catholic trying to make a point about sin. Why is it bad for Superman to kill people when cops do it all the time in real life? Oh wait, it's because Superman represents our highest ideals. Why was it an indicator of corruption that Hama sucked flowers dry to waterbend in Avatar? Because it shows she disregards normal boundaries in pursuit of power. And so on.

Makes the most narrative sense. Why have her make such a brutal, taxing choice if it's a one-and-done, especially when her father's problems often stem from relying on spooky magic?

I hate it when they use words wrong. Why would Viren declare himself Lord Protector yet attempting to crown himself? The very nature of a Lord Protector is *not* having a crown.

My only complaint of the show is that seasons are too short. ATLA had 20 episodes each season, 20 mins each, while TDP has 9 episodes, 25 mins each. This is fucking bs

Yeah, it's a real bummer. One the upside, it looks like there will be 6-7 seasons of this show.

Really? Or are you shitting me? Still though, I prefer three long seasons than 7 short ones.

I see Dwarves specialized in mining salt as well as gold.

>lmao all naughty methods of doing thjngs are like drugs!! It bad
I hate the left soitoons

I don't have a source, but there was an interview with the creators a while back where they said they have a 6-7 season arc planned out. Though, this isn't 100 % confirmation that they will get to actually make all those seasons.

A Delicate Arrangement was a decent arranged marrige fic between Rayla and Callum, and Sides of the Moon was a pretty cool what if the elves survived kinda scenario.

>a 6-7 season arc

So like...3 to 5 real seasons? This 9 episode bullshit really steams my beans. It's fucking Netflix! They can't just put out 13-20 episodes at once?!

>IMO, a forest IS better than farms and houses. Limestone IS better than concrete.
In what ways. These are highly subjective statements. Concrete may not be as pretty but it can be made from ground rock, ash, and fibers? Limestone has to be cut out and only so much can be cut before you're talking about some unhealthy level of open pit mining if you love the forests so much? Farms can be made on land where there are no forests and the animals graze naturally anyways. I think it's Argentina that's so boxed in that they've nationalized their cattle and just pay farmers to watch them because they aren't going anywhere. The country is a farm.

The crown is a bonus

The horror at dark magic is elf propaganda to keep humans from becoming an even match (or realizing that elves are basically walking spell fuel).

> Think humans 20,000 years ago, but smarter
Not to be rude, but humans back then didn't live in any sort of harmony with nature. Regardless of intellect, nature has always been in opposition with itself, leaving humanity, as part of nature, developed to overcome the worst of it. Added intellect would have likely just accelerated this process, as base instincts remain the same.

>it becomes hard to believe in our so called "order"
The irony to that statement is in that for you to have been able to experience the said media, threads and so on is because humanity is so exceedingly proficient at creating order. In fact it is your very own human drive to improve things that has led us to this very conversation. You have seen the breakdown of an established order, and in an effort to adapt to said breakdown you search for ways to fix the problem. But remember, no solution is absolute.

>Then what about elves!
I will grant you one thing, the elves system works for the elves and they do it effectively. Unfortunately, if humanity tried to do this they would be doomed to fail. Elves can pacify the world effectively because they as a whole the can become truly content with their lives forever. Humans, as a species, cannot do this. They require improvement and change else their minds begin to numb and they start to suffer from health defects like depression. The most destructive people are always those who seek to improve or those who are bored. Both seek change.

>Where is it stated that elves' tools don't improve also?
You have a point as I have no proof. But given that elves are proficient in pacification, it safe to assume that when left to their own devices, elves are inherently stagnant. If you design a system that doesn't need to improve, why improve it?

Wonder how the Callum disgusting himself as an elf scenes will go

He has to chop off his pinky.

Or jam his middle and ring finger together in a 4 fingered glove.

> -there's a difference in cutting down some tress and using some rocks to build yourself a rock than doing what China does with real estate. Look up "China ghost cities"
Whilst I agree that China has proven time and time again to be highly inefficient, I have to disagree that the outcome is strictly negative. In order to improve one must be able and willing to experiment. By natures standards, these ghost cities are failed experiments. Genetic dead ends that do not perform in the current ecosystem. But unlike the rabbit who suffocates after trying to dig its den in sand, humanity is smart and successful enough to learn from this failure without it becoming a major detriment to the species as a whole.

>But, I choose to believe things are more than what they are, and that that is what they are, and I think others should, too.
This is a respectable thing to do and I share the sentiment. Our love for the nature order is the same, we simply see different parts of it. You seek to preserve what exists, I seek to preserve what makes it change.

>What I mean is that, in our capability to change things around us, why not do it for the better of all life?
In my opinion, the odds that we create more suffering by trying such a feat is far greater. As stated before, humanity is by design destined to make mistakes. By being apathetic to all things not human, we give them the chance to naturally adapt to humanity. By sympathetically attempting to alleviate this suffering, we genuinely make things worse because we do not understand the complexities of the system that sustains life. I believe things like victim culture are a symptom of this approach.

The crux of the conversation is that it is subjective. Also, user's not saying he doesn't like concrete or farms, he's saying we shouldn't be destroy the nature world for the sake of our own personal progress and that we should consider the well being of all things. I don't agree with it, but his argument isn't as extreme as you seem to think it is.

I give up ffs. I'm just arguing in layman's terms, and I'm getting annoyed of having to pause and read this shit. Gg just post Rayla pics pls my folder is empty except for that toaster meme pic.

Thank you. And I'm not saying we should completely ban them, because we shouldn't. They're necessary. I'm saying we should regulate them more, and that we should have a philosophy with nature similar to how elves do. Meme example and not very good but look at Japan.

It has more to do with what the dark magic does to your soul. Magic of destruction vs magic of creation.

So I watched this whole series over the past few days and holy shit is it good. Normally when I watch a show I end up dicking around on here or somewhere else during the boring parts, but I was glued to the screen for all 18 episodes. It's actually painful knowing that we have to wait months for more.

Months for the same 9 episode routine. Fricking BS

You kid, but for most people it's easier to sympathise with people who are preachy over people who turn you into stone, or give your soul to hell, or steal your babies. It helps that a lot of people agree with what the elves are preaching including Tolkien himself

Unrealistic. Harrow is black and would be lynched

I don't think Claudia is evil. She's grown up under her dad who made her believe dark magic was normal and natural and could be used to solve humanities problems. She and her brother both crave his approval and attention. When she's told she should put returning the egg over her brother's life, she's wracked with guilt, and she feels terrible about the idea of tricking Callum and Ezran.

From what we know of moon elves being able to put you into these real life nightmare situations and probably worse than that, would make them hypocrites.

This. I don't think Claudia or Soren are evil, they're just kinda dumb and brainwashed by their dad, with Soren being the more severe case of both. I wouldn't be surprised if - in the end - they end up siding with Callum to fight against Viren.

How do you think they're gonna respond to seeing their dad in jail?

Why'd my post get deleted? It was Rayla's VA talking about sex, I figured some people would find it funny. Mods have gay.

You just posted a youtube link out of nowhere without any further context. It looked like advertising.

I fully suspect to see some political intrigue between Viren's kids and Ezran.

Post it again - or just tell me what the title is.

You think Ezran would forgive Viren perhaps?

I don't know. I think Ezran is wise enough to realize that Viren is a potential threat to him - especially since he straight up killed like 4 guards. But, if Claudia and Soren vie to get their dad out of jail, who knows.

Also, Ezran doesn't really have any strong advisors. Amaya is off at the breach, and that one priest looking lady hasn't done shit throughout the whole show. Corvus is an unknown, but I bet he's just a soldier. This lack of help might mean he is forced to reluctantly rely on Viren for a bit of insight into the workings of the Kingdom.

The foil acts as a Faraday cage, blocking the microwaves from reaching inside. Induced currents will cause sparking on the foil, which will get hot, but the aspiring burrito won't explode in that situation.

That's another link, but the content is still the same. Don't bother her, anons. She's already gotten enough "hi I come from dragon prince xDD Rayla is sex lxDDD"

It would be really ironic if a child king helps Viren because he was so against one in the first place

Season 3 prediction:
>Callum poses as an elf and has to do a silly accent like Rayla.

I'd love it if it turns out that the Elves really did behave like the old fair folk pre-displacement and just got pissy when humans fought back.

Not /out/ enough

He looks like a female. If he were a female I'd totally fuck her.

He's male and would fuck you.

Bit gay lads

Dragon Prince is just the TV-Y7 version of warhammer minus the dwarves and greenskins.

so far it seems closer to DA:O than Warhammer

It's still a net benefit though even if the user has to sacrifice their health. Curing paraplegism and stopping famines are very serious positive uses.

If dark magic existed in real life no one would be calling it evil, you'd be fucking lynched for even suggesting it. It would be the rough equivalent of calling doctors evil because medicine is tested on animals.

user, I...

It's okay if it's Aaravos. Just keep in mind you're the little spoon, he's a canon 6'9".

>If dark magic existed in real life no one would be calling it evil, you'd be fucking lynched for even suggesting it. It would be the rough equivalent of calling doctors evil because medicine is tested on animals.
Pretty sure everyone would misuse it, fuck their bodies over, get addicted, and it would still be called evil. Well-trained doctors, and maybe military specialists, are probably the only ones that could get away with using, with ad campaigns about years of proper college and experience in the field required to yield proper magic.

But it WOULD be hard to damn a Specialist that cures very serious illnesses, at the cost of damaging his own body.

Does Aaravos have any redeeming qualities other than being pretty and that one creator interview where they specified he's 'complicated'?
No those ancent texts don't count. For all we know, they may be part of his plan to genocide humanity or something.

It's because you are using the lifeforce of magical creatures and what is stopping them from using dragons and elves next?

so her horns are sticking in his chest there right?

>Pretty sure everyone would misuse it, fuck their bodies over, get addicted, and it would still be called evil.

Nothing that happens in the show supports this. Where the hell did you come up with that? Dark magic got the entirety of humanity exiled and it's still not condemned or illegal, and only four people are shown to be able to do it, all of whom are exceptionally talented, and only one of which is "addicted". Claudia has been doing it multiple times a day since she was a toddler and only just suffered any blowback, and only because she cast a truly powerful life-altering spell to save her brother.

I don't know, what's to stop people from eating each other?

Season 3 better have an Elf Chad with elk antlers smack Rayla's ass

>They go back to Rayla's home town in Xadia
>"Oh hey Callum, there's someone you need to meet"
>Rayla introduces Callum to huge elf chad
>Callum asks how they know each other
>Rayla just blushes and stutters something out
>Chad says he'll see them around and slaps Rayla on the ass
>"Do you think we could get Chad to join us Callum?"
>"Callum? Are ye cryin over there?"

You better fucking knock it off.

That people see each other as equals while they view elves as being these bloodthirsty creatures that don't deserve to live?

Attached: D4NgVEdUUAAkz_1.png (661x606, 335K)

I gotta agree with the hard drug analogy for dark magic in the show.

It obviously slowly takes a physical toll and leads to physical degeneration after long exposure. The hair changing color and obvious facial deformity becoming permanent are big clues. Nevermind the actual psychological dependence it appears to create.

My big guess for the big bad is that he was found a way to stave off the adverse effects by stealing lifeforces. He just needs a bigger and bigger supply as he grows more powerful.

Claudia has shown several addict qualities. Especially once she really needed to use to to heal the spinal injury.

She obviously payed a large cost and I wouldn't be surprised if she starts to destabilize as the show goes on.

Considering that Rayla is showing signs of feelings while Callum doesn't even appear to be over Claudia, I semi expect the opposite
>They go back to Rayla's home town in Xadia
>Callum accidentally gets revealed as a human and a mage, conflict ensues that ends with them saving the town and getting Callum accepted as a result
>Elf Stacy, who is a childhood friend/rival of Rayla, butts in, playing with her hair
>"oh, so yer a 'uman and a mage, that's like, so cool!"
>she's playing with her hair and holding on to Callum's bicep
>Callum blushes and sputters because he's not used to female attention, then stops and freezes
>"Rayla, why are your blades out?"

Yeah, I'm waiting for a jealousy arc where Reyla has to deal with other female elves showing attraction to Callum.

It's going to happen at some sort. Especially since it happened so heavily in Avatar. The writers know it's good character development filler.

Given there's allegedly seven seasons, and that romance arcs are notorious for never getting resolved until the end of a series, I'd be amazed if it didn't happen.

Supposedly if you get too much sparking/arching inside a microwave, eventually it will physically damage the inside of the oven and can eventually cause an electrical explosion if the oven's own workings are exposed to the microwaves.
Or so I've been told.

>She will never play with your hair

It's literally an analogy for irl fossil fuels, so we'd praise it for decades until we realize it's killing us all

I think it'd be really interesting if Rayla continues her elf superiority posturing only to slowly realise that elves can be kind of pricks too.
Maybe they run into a village where the elves are going to publicly execute an innocent human, or find themselves in a human temple where there are books talking about elf progroms against humans. So Rayla goes from being proud of her Xadian heritage and eager to show off to Callum, to ashamed of what her kind has done and overprotective of Callum, to ultimately, determined to change Xadia from within into a place that would be just as good towards humans as it is towards elves and dragons.

I was wondering when someone would do that. It's too fitting.
Considering how much Wonderstorm like their memes, how likely do you think it'd be for Aaravos to do some kind of spell based on the black hole at some point?

This with Rayla pls

>Hugbox shit

???

It's the first photo of a black hole shooped onto his eyes. I guess the joke is they're both celestial entities

It's be great if this show took some pointers from Star Vs. Every season could have a new character getting cucked. I still want that elf Chad to smack Rayla's ass.

Elf chad??

An elf with a HUGE set of horns

I will be very disappointed if they don't show Rayla in a fancy dress net season.

You mean this elf?

Why would you want the show to go to shit?

>Humans BTFO Knife Ear Niggers with black magic
>Knife Ear Niggers get triggered and have an autstic fit

Head scratches in general are amazing, but from Claudia would be the best.

Should elf chad be another moonshadow or some other type?

Sun elf so he can make Eclipse elves with Rayla.

Is this dude Chad enough?

Goddamnit Rian go to bed.

What music would Rayla like? I'm betting on King Crimson.

I dunno, most societies manage to wage brutal wars on each other without resorting to canabilism.

If anyones all too willing to dehumanise; wouldn't it be the elves comitting ethnic cleansing in their lands?

she's definitely gonna squeeze something

was it autism?

I thought it was using the SOUL ENERGY or some shit like that if the creature. Like it was forcing out part of its soul in order to use it for dark magic. That's why it has such a kickback.
