So, to no one’s surprise the next part of Dragons Rising leaked AGAIN. I had planned on waiting till the release date to actually watch it, but I saw a spoiler for the ending almost instantly and caved. So here are my thoughts! Well, mostly my thoughts on one specific part, which is kinda a follow up to my last post. obviously, spoilers ahead! Be warned!
I’m really on the fence about where they took Wyldfyre in this season. At first, I was ecstatic. They finally made her leader of the New Ninja! They voted, she won, it was fair, and I was stoked. I couldn’t wait to see her lead them like she did in the Land of Eternal Dawn. Like I said in my last post, she’s always been sidelined, reduced to comic relief, and underestimated (especially in Djinnjago when they awoke the Arc Dragon of Focus. Frak and Sora were really screwing that up and it wasn’t until Wyldfyre intervened that they actually woke it.) But finally, FINALLY at long last she would get the respect and attention she deserves!
and then they went and ruined it! They had to play into the comic relief, making her all cocky and full of herself! And I wouldn’t have minded it if it wasn’t her entire personality this season! That’s always part of her and I love it, but they were really heading somewhere good with her in part one, but they threw it all down the drain! the worst part is that they honestly made her a terrible leader. It ended up that Sora kept unofficially taking over and that ticked me off. Wyldfyre is a good leader! We saw that in part one! Why did they have to throw that all away for comic relief?
there were a couple times I was getting really hopeful she would get better. I thought maybe she would learn over time to be better. That part where she meditated the two delegates and got them to stop arguing, and Arin acknowledged it might actually go somewhere. When Euphrasia and my Poor Sidelined Pixal got “eaten” by Cryptor in the big dragon mech, and she was left in the cloud kingdom with Riyu I thought it would be up to her to save the day. When Arin and Sora were getting buried by those bug things and Wyldfyre was the only Ninja (besides Riyu) left standing, I thought she would save the day and finally be appreciated. But NO.
Wyldfyre’s my favorite New Ninja and it pains me to see her not get an arc. Like I said in my last post, all the other New Ninja, have gotten an arc. Like I predicted, Frak still had more stuff with his dad this season and even got his own entire episode! I NEED her to get an actual arc or something! Heck, she didn’t even get that new suit from the Transforming Dragon Mech set in the show!
Maybe I’ll just have to wait until dragons rising ends and they finally address her backstory. Surely they can’t sideline her in her own backstory right? …right…?
