Me: I'm an adult now, I should stop getting obsessed with children's shows
The Writers of Avatar: Hey, we made a new show about unlikely friends on opposite sides of a war who are learning to overcome prejudices and find peace between their people. Oh, and the elves are gay.
Me: ...shit
And now I'm gonna have to read this because there's stuff that wasn't in the first season.
Anyways, let me tell you about a cute little show on Netflix that is perfect if you grew up loving Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Our main characters are Callum and Ezran, they are half-brothers
Ezran is about ten years old, he's the King's son, he loves cookies and playing hide and seek with his pet toad. Callum is his older brother and the King's stepson, he is voiced by Sokka but unlike Sokka he can draw and use magic and his first girlfriend does not turn into the moon, kinda. I don't think he's forgotten boomerang tho XD.
And then we have our beautiful leading lady, Rayla.
Rayla is cute and she is Scottish and she runs like naruto. She is an elf assassin who has never killed anyone but she's sent to kill the King and Ezran anyway despite being like fifteen years old. She was raised by two elf dads who taught her to sword fight.
Now elves and humans have been at war for one thousand years, but Rayla, Callum, and Ezran find something that could stop the war, and they go on a long journey together for peace!
There's a bunch of characters I'm skipping over but the bad guy is named Viren, he's an asshole and we all hate him and he gets the award for worst father of the year, y'know cuz he manipulated both of his children, tried to get his son to kill his oldest friends, emotionally abused his daughter so that she wouldn't leave him. Just dad things.
There's some great representation with many characters of colour, and Callum and Ezran's aunt is deaf but she's still leads armies because she's just that badass.
So yeah if you haven't checked out The Dragon Prince I highly recommend you do :)
