Why bother with a two ep premiere? Just do a double length premiere…
E1&2 were ok. E1 introduces the next gen and they’re a typical fantasy fellowship for these times - a chosen one, a princess, a soldier, a smart nerd, a seasoned mercenary. There’s romance (some lgbtq even), obligations, needs to be their true selves, typical tropes of the genre now. And it’s somewhat diverse although no non-Indian Asians (we have stuff like Ice Fantasy so who cares?)
Willow and Sorsha reprise their roles and we’re 200 moons (16+ years if this is earth years) from when the movie happened.
It opens with a swordfight on some cool rocks which reminded me of the great DM v Yeti duels in a public school parking lot as teens, although not nearly as scenic. Fight choreo is mediocre but with swords at least.
The barrier is so GoT. So far, almost everything feels derivative of something else.
What is it about Erin Kellyman? She’s like in every franchise already…
E2 starts dropping the Easter eggs with the nelwin - the high aldwin is now Willow and there’s reading the bones and the which finger test.
What is it with shows ending with some vintage pop song now? Didn’t 1899 & Wednesday do the same thing?
Production value is decent. The villains are kinda cool, poached from demonic horror flicks.
It reaffirms my sacrifice of watching the original last night. I’m glad to have done that for all of you so you don’t have to and will alert you of anything from the movie that’s relevant like the aforementioned Easter eggs.
It’s not great but I’ll watch some more.
