Although there's certainly plenty to love about the animated fantasy series, ‘The Dragon Prince’ still hasn’t fixed its biggest problem.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn't exist.
Season 4 opened with a controversial two-year time jump, a risky creative decision that didn’t quite work in the series’ favor, especially after a long three-year wait following the Season 3 premiere. As with most of the other seasons of The Dragon Prince — except for perhaps Season 3, which seemed to finally nail the balance of exposition and payoff — Season 4 struggled to gain momentum.
Unfortunately, Season 5 is largely meandering, devoting more time to side quests and worldbuilding than to the mystery of Aaravos, beginning first with the continuing Sunelf storyline from Season 4 — a side plot that took up an inordinate amount of time without quite adding anything particularly interesting to the story.
‘The Dragon Prince’ Season 5 Is Best When It Remembers Its Most Compelling Characters All of this aside, The Dragon Prince still boasts one of the most compelling casts of characters in a fantasy series. With Aaron Ehasz, head writer of Avatar: The Last Airbender as a co-creator, that’s certainly no surprise.
