If I had a nickel for every time a character in The Dragon Prince was a prince with a five letter name that starts with “K” who has ideals/plans that go against those of the main characters, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
I've talked about the commonalities between this scene for Ezran and 4x08, so I won't touch on that here (even if it is definitely an interesting element). Instead, I want to talk about Finnegrin's... genuinely genial presentation. Keeps calling him lad, seems to actually want to help Ez negotiate, says "don't look so dour," his smiles and guiding Ezran over to the window.
In another life, Finnegrin actually could've been a good mentor for him, and Ezran might've been able to lead Finnegrin away from his more... cruel ways (at least for Ez and his friends, mind you).
Funny enough, Callum’s encounter with Kasef was used repeatedly to suggest “see? Callum can only fight from a distance, he’s helpless up close unless he learns some basic sword skills or someone to protect him while he powers up a spell, etc.”
Then just one scene from s5 reveals that, no, Callum wasn’t going to be needing that shit. He may have been untrained in s3, but High Mage Callum would have obliterated Kasef in one punch, man.
By far the funniest scene in TDP is when Ez shows up to the final battle leading a group of dragons with heroic music in the bg.... and they set the human army on fire, obviously planning to wipe them out entirely........ and the camera cuts to his sad puppy face being like "guess I had no choice :((((("
