I’m glad someone notices my EPIC references! And LOL! Fair! I mean that her version of love is a little bit twisted. Like, she loves Viren but when he leaves, she tells him he owes her his life because she saved him. And in season 4, it kind of seems like she felt that way about Soren too. That he should be grateful that Viren saved him. I just think its debatable whether she has the pure love that seems to be required to restore someone’s spirit. But it’s possible she did understand it after Aaravos’ story and I’m not giving her enough credit.
Agree that the pearl decoy hiding by Callum alone felt so contrived and a definite plot device. Like your eye for detail of the moon phases. I do doubt the explanation that Aaravos knew because Callum was tainted with dark magic especially since he did the whole cleaning ritual at the starscraper and has not used dark magic since, that we know of at least. And I don't think that the ritual was a misdirect because the fact that Callum did it implies he is going to use dark magic in season 7. I like your description of understanding love and why Callum and not Claudia. Aaravos plans for contigencies alright.
10:16 Also, Aaron Ehasz confirmed that neither Callum or Rayla every stopped to think about how Ezran will feel about them freeing Runnan, so that’s definitely going to be a big deal next season!
DRAMA! YES!!! I’m really hoping Ezran will get to be a bit messy. He’s the emotional support for others but he doesn’t have that himself, I look forward to seeing how and if those repressed emotions will bubble to the surface
@@AngelesLunamoth I also want to see Ezran get some emotional support. Especially since on top of Runnan coming back into the picture, his kingdom was also destroyed, and his efforts for establishing everlasting peace between humans and Xadia might’ve been ruined since a lot of people in Katolis just saw a dragon destroy their homes for seemingly no reason while their king was away. I’m imagining Callum trying to comfort Ezran, but Ezran keeps pushing him away because he is rightfully upset with Callum for not telling him about his plan to free Runnan, and sees this as somewhat of a betrayal of their father’s love. Maybe Soren could be the one to console Ezran. Especially after everything Soren went through last season with him finally getting closure over his relationship with his father. And while their situations are extremely different, I could see Soren using some of that insight he gained to help Ezran, telling him he’s allowed to be angry and doesn’t have to forgive or confront Runnan if he isn’t ready, but he still shouldn’t keep it all in and should talk to someone he trusts. Also Soren was there during the assassination of Harrow, and likely killed at least one of Runnan’s teammates. And he was also the one who locked Runnan in Viren’s dungeon. So there’s definitely going to be tension between those two. Especially since Soren might worry about Runnan deciding to kill Ezran to honor their teammates and finish their mission. We the audience know he won’t do that, but Soren doesn’t know that.
Soren and Ezran felt like the characters that fit the found family dynamic the most in season 6. They’re each other’s support. I absolutely agree that Soren must’ve put down at least one of the team mates considering he’s a skilled fighter. I’m realizing there may be more drama than I anticipated. It’s bound to be a jam packed season full of feels!
@@AngelesLunamoth Yes! I loved that moment between them in Moonless Night. Soren putting on a brave face, not wanting to let people know how much he is hurting inside. And Ezran senses this, but he doesn’t want to push Soren into talking about it if he doesn’t want to. But he still gives him that hug as a reminder to Soren that he is loved and valued by his found family, and that they will be there when he is ready to talk. It’s like what Ethari said, “Sometimes an act of caring is as simple as being there when it seems no one else is”. I hope Soren gets a chance to return that act of caring next season.
9:47 I love your explanation for how love relates to channeling powerful primal magic, and how Terry was the one who immediately picked up on how Aaravos is not driven by love. It does help to explain how Terry is able to channel earthblood magic so effortlessly, to the point where he doesn’t even need to cast a rune or speak draconic words when he’s controlling plants (although Mukho didn’t either when he healed Zubeia so that could just be a thing unique to earthblood magic or their equally powerful) This does tie into one of Aaron’s hints for season 7. In a recent interview, he mentioned how one of the episodes will be titled “True Heart”, and that this episode would be a big moment for Terry. He goes on to say how Terry is someone who has so much love in his heart, but also has a strong moral compass, and how these parts of himself are currently at war with each other as Claudia continues to help Aaravos. I think they are setting us up for a moment where either: 1) Terry does end up convincing Claudia to leave Aaravos, proving that he will always be there for her like he promised in season 6. Or, 2) He realizes that Claudia is going down a path that he knows is wrong, and does end up leaving her, which she will view as a betrayal. Terry still might not think Claudia is fully gone, and will seek out team Zym (specifically Soren) to hopefully save her.
that interview is so juicy and jam packed with a bunch of goodness! I totally agree with those options but I’m really hoping that its the latter because I like the idea of Claudia’s story being a cautionary tale. Especially because Viren, while I wouldn’t say he is redeemed, he DID make a turnaround and I would like to see the exploration of what happens when you don’t. And Claudia is even different from Viren in that she started with Dark magic as a CHILD and that to me, does make all the difference. I simply think a turnaround would be harder for her. And as it pertains to Terri, I feel like he’s sort of a mirror to Rayla in the sense that (I feel like) she made a promise to Callum that she probably doesn’t want to keep to begin with. And Terri also put himself in a similar position, the difference is that I do think he means it with his whole heart, he would never abandon Claudia. BUT Claudia’s path is dark and he’ll simply have to face hard decisions of whether keeping his promise is really worth it or for the best. All in all, I’m looking forward to seeing how love will test our characters next season and the promises they made.
I’m pretty sure it was at the castle like mentioned in the show. I don’t think he can physically alter real life object’s locations. If he could then he would have just moved the pearl into Viren’s hands all along
1:10 Hoenstly, I can almost understand Callum insisting he’d be fine because you could make the argument that Aaravos was influencing his thinking in a way so subtle that Callum wasn’t aware he was doing it. Especially after the council meeting scene where he was staring intently at the pearl before suggesting they destroy it, as if Aaravos also thought that would also release him. But Rayla should’ve insisted harder that she do the swap, or at least have gone with him. So I do blame her a little more than Callum.
Lmao! I ended up cutting a whole rant on this because I really don’t want to be known as a Rayla hater. But it’s kind of out of my hands at this point. But I totally agree, I really wish she would have accompanied him because while she did not get to finish her sentence, it seems like she wanted to say that if Callum was in danger, she would help and protect him - and the fact that she even suggests doing the swap herself is a sign (at least to me) that she is detecting danger in that moment. But she doesn’t actually do anything about it. So I’m kind of left feeling like even though she said she believed him about the danger, maybe it isn’t entirely true? (Also her ‘protecting’ him from Barius is not a good example because 1. She doesn’t even have her blades out and 2. What is Barius gonna do? To me that little skit was played for laughs) But this is why I can’t grasp what Rayla’s actual personality is and what is simply written for the plot. Certain things need to happen and Rayla’s character kind of suffers because of it. Lol! Sorry I used this comment to end up going on my obligatory Rayla Rant. But basically, yeah, I also think she needs to bear some of the burden of the fact that the real pearl was in Katolis because Callum confided in her first and foremost about the sleepwalking incident. And then she also had an opportunity to be by his side at a crucial moment but she wasn’t.
@@JordanBurgess-j1t I really liked Rayla in the first 2 seasons but after the writers made her Callum's love interest, she lost most of her character in the process and became more of a plot device.
0:55 Actually there is theory that after Callum told abou his decoy plan to Ezran, Ezran ordered to baker to switch pearls before going to Callun. And that`s why when Callum gone to switch pearls he actually left real one in Katolis. Proof: when Ezran sends soren to find Zubeia and Rayla with Callum to frozen sea he seems ok, but when they are gone there are sadness on his face. And also its strange why Ezran first of all was determined to hide pearl in Katolis, but then suddenly agrees with Callums idea. p.s. also yeah if Aaravos is the one responsible for pearl switch it actually makes sense why he tricked Sol Regem to Destroy Katolis instead of going after Callum and Rayla.
Callum definitely freed Runaan for his love for Rayla, and I think when Callum and Claudia did the spell at the same time, it mightve been cuz of callum, and claudia wouldve thought it was her who performed the spell, but maybe it was callum doing it! love ur theories!! :D
If this theory is true my input is that aaravos put some sort of linking spell on the rituals so when the rituals began at the same time, it freed runan and aaravos
I’m curious what the “final” diamond will be used for I assume either to seal Arravos away or free that other Dark mage, maybe he will have some answers
Will Callum use dark magic again cause if he does again he's doomed and will turn evil like one of thoses startouch elves said in one of the episodes of season 6. Will he be most likely get brainwashed or maybe even possessed by Aaarovos himself. Will season 7 get a happy ending and I hope it does to so far these season finales have been nothing but sad, cliffhanging conclusions so I really hope maybe just maybe season 7 will turn things around for the better.
@TheGamingGojiOfficial @potatoesdeterre That is exactly what I mean. Callum freed both Runnnan AND Aaravos. Star magic is related to both SPACE and TIME. The specifics are unclear but what I think is happening is that because the spell of Amor Stella Vitae is being cast at the same time, even though Claudia may not have that pure love that the spell needs, because Callum is also performing that spell, his love kind of spills into Claudia's spell. The fact that Callum is not directly in front of the pearl is not really a problem because he's performing STAR magic and that distance would be kind of insignificant. What really matters here is the time. I hope that made sense lol! But yeah, I think Callum supplied the love to free BOTH of them.
I love how you connected back to EPIC:The musical. Also i really didn't understand how Claudia can't love part, still, absolutely loved it.
I’m glad someone notices my EPIC references!

I think that Aavarovs must have switched his prison with the decoy when the frozen ship was burning and sinking.
