Don't get me wrong. I love Dragons Rising.
But there is something SO nostalgic and dumbfoundedly whimsical about the plot-relevant filler episodes.
Like wdym the ninja literally fought whitewashed versions of themeselves amidst bratty elementary schoolers to prove that apparntly the oversized yellow spoon could only create stuff.?
Wdym Lloyd had to compete against bootleg beastboy on rollerblades in order for Cole to find Zane in the dungeon??
WDYM There was a Pixane episode in which Zane cosplayed a mystery novel MC, started a bar fight, lost a bar fight, won the bar fight by proxy because of his kickass wife. Then got kidnapped and PIXAL had to turn into aforementioned mystery novel MC. All to find the game dev who was living on the damn roof???
they're all so silly and i miss the random-ass side quests that just appeared but were like- essential to the future plot.
