Ezran never had a plan. That adviser guy and the prince made a plan with Viren to force Ezran to step down with a threat of war. Katolis wouldn't be attacked as long as Ezran abdicated and took Viren's place in the cell. Viren taking the crown was never discussed with Ezran. Viren auto corrected to Virgin while I was writing this.
A nice thing about episode beside Rayllum. The show is about breaking the chain's of violence and revenge. The first soldier to lay down his sword was the guy Rayla spared in the very first episode.

I realized that the other day and was thoroughly shook'eth. Our little baby will speak one day and it's going to be so weird!
Always M.E.E 😍. Though I personally liked it better as he is since he doesn’t talk (yet) like Toothless but hey I have no problems personally with Zym’s parents talking and I am assuming that the end of the series he’ll start talking.
“And so, Viren the Valiant was thrown from the highest peak of the Storm Spire, by the black-hearted Elf. Though the Elf survived, Viren did not. His body lay broken, at the foot of the mountain. He was only brought back to life by a great sacrifice performed by his beloved daughter. That my child is why we are every watchful for the Xadian threat.”
My take on the "Why is Ezran in jail?" thing: he abdicated the throne so as to placate the prince that threatened war, Viren gets released because of shady backroom dealings that lead to him taking the crown, Ezran is put in jail so he can't try to take BACK the crown.
Plus when Ezran insisted that those who no longer wish to fight be allowed to leave the army he was probably hoping that most of the troops would leave, thus the army wouldn't have the numbers to attack Xadia any more.
I still think Ezran surrendered as basically his options were: 1) Join the war on Xadia 2) have a bloody war with the other human kingdoms 3) surrender and let those idiots put someone else in charge more sympathetic to the Xadia war (Viren) Kind of a lose/lose/lose situation but he picked what he hoped would prevent all those innocents dying from the first two options.
When Aaravos said he didn't know where he was imprisoned and Ethan mentioned the cube, I got SO excited because I've been thinking that ever since we met Aaravos.
7:13 It's funny how minor characters in this show are loved by the fan's, like this guy was just a random soldier but the fan's liked him so much he ended up getting a name during a panel.
I believe Viren was sincerely loyal to Harrow in their earlier years. He cared for Sarai as much as he did for the King. But things change, and without Harrow, Viren now sees himself as the kingdom's hope.
Agreed. Viren got completely consumed by the dark magic and his own ego and arrogance. He convinced himself that everything he's doing is for the right reasons. He definitely doesn't see himself as the bad guy... at least not yet. It's such a shame... I believe his friendship with Harrow really was genuine and deep. And he really did care about the well-being of the kingdom and its people in the beginning...
@@efoxkitsune9493 Not beleive, it's literally shown he cares. They took that..magma gollem? heart to warm the land so the kingdoms don't starve. He tried to save the queen [who he was also good friends with] but failed, he saw his friend in pain just like himself and when one is not skilled in talking things out, revenge is looking nice.
The thing about Ezran and Viren also confused me at first but I later understood it. Ezran only had three choices: stay as a king who chose peace and face a war with the other kingdoms, choose to go to war against xadia with the other kingdoms, or step down from being a king and prevent a conflict between katolis and the angry people. The thing about Viren becoming the king was becaue of that advisor's guy meddling, and everyone was too scared to go against him. I might have missed a few points but that's basically what I got from the whole conflict
I suspect Soren has been asked to smuggle a lot of weird dark magic shit across that bridge for his dad and sister and at this point the guards just shrug. Like, it's probably stuff for the High Mage. He's doing kingdom-protecting shit, why get in the way?
Or they knew Ezran and Bait were in there, they were probably part of the guards who later left the army, so they're just helping out and pretending not to notice anything
If I was King Harrow in that situation I would be like: *King Harrow* : "So this Vengeance Spell that you just so happen to stumble upon requires my wife's dying breath that you just so happened to somehow obtain; bro wtf?"

The Viren Ezran prison transfer was done to prevent those unwilling to fight from going to war. While preventing the deaths cause by Katolis going to war against the other human kingdoms. Or that's what I thought
Actually, the whole ezran and viren thing is basically this. The guy came to Ezzy boy and said either you join with us, fight or give up the throne. ezran chooses the latter. Then viren is also part of the deal and he is made king due to being the ex-kings closest advisor since ezran abdicated the throne. Edit: I don’t usually say this but like so Miclaila sees it.
The reason Viren is king is because the threatened Ezrean to either step down or they'll attack. And when Ez stepped down Viren took advantage of the situation
But did anyone think for a second that Viren WOULDN'T try and take advantage of the situation and lead the country in a war against Xadia (the MAIN THING Ezran was against) anyway? Because if they did then imma have to say they smallbrain. I mean, even if Viren's plan (which basically consisted of him walking up to the throne and sitting down) didn't work then the other countries could have just threatened war again and had him made king that way
@@will24556 The whole plan was made by one of the counsel members and the other leaders. That's why no one thought about it(other than Opeli) because they were probably silenced
ethan your big brain energy! i never connected callum's magic box - which is called THE KEY OF AARAVOS - with aaravos's secret prison. though, if it is the key to his prison, it seems like a really easy way to unlock it; all you'd need to do is get a magic plant or creature for each source so each of the symbols glows, i assume, and that seems like a pretty easy thing to do in xadia.
Yea, I thought the same thing. He felt guilty about Sarai's death; and it clouded his judgement (I mean I'm pretty sure there were more factors & motives, but yes, I believe this was one of them).
I feel like it was more showing how unready he really was to take up the position as king, without his brother by his side. Because Ezran is so kind hearted he is unwilling to defend even the thing he believes in, which is to make peace with Xadia, he doesn't want to fight despite it being what is needed. The fight was going to happen no matter what he only delayed the inevitable confrontation. He is still a kid, and willing to say he won't fight Xadia, until he is forced by threats of others to yield, he deeply cares about his people, but he doesn't yet understand that it is his duty to keep his people safe and sometimes it may seem counter-intutive that fighting is the only way to keep peace, but it is fighting in the short term for the long term peace, and he is unwilling to ask others to give their lives up in war. He lacks that maturity to understand when you need to make a stand and see things through to the end. It is his short-sighted kindness that holds him back, just like Viren's biggest character flaw is his short-sighted desire for power and violence. Ezran is a character that can change for the better, to understand that at times we don't have a perfect choice but that we need to be willing to see things through.
Ezran is what, eight years old? He's responsible for a lot of human lives, and he was told the other armies wouldn't kill those people in war if he stepped down, so he forced through what protections he could (allowing unwilling soldiers to leave the army and not be forced to make war) and complied. To us, it's obvious that the human war was a bluff and the Xadian war has the potential to be far, far worse than a human one, but we're not little kids.
@@derinedala5032 Yeah I think that is a big part of what it shows us about Ezran, that he can't yet see things as a bigger thing, he is still far too young for the burdens of rulership, a more mature person would have refused the ultimatum and fought on, knowing that there could be reinforcements on the way, if you are clever. But overall we see how not ready Ezran is yet.
This is the correct answer. There's no need to be an apologist for a dumb plotline in an otherwise still very good show, I don't know why some people feel the need to.
It was a really weird/unbelivable way to get Viren to be king, it could've been done better. They literally arrested him for killing a bunch of guards. Unless Opeli didn't tell anyone about that (which would make no sense) I don't understand why no one objected to him being king.
It is the nature of Royalty, when one line ends, you lock up the survivors from that line so that they don't attempt to re-take the throne. That is why Ezran had to be locked up
I like Claudia its just a shame she became corrupted by her father I am glad that Callum and Rayla are now together and now all that is left is for Amaya and Gren to get together Bait is the master of hiding It will get dark
Okay- I'll explain. Ezran made a deal to step down as king in exchange for katolis not being attacked. Ezran didn't know, however, that they would throw him in jail. hope that helped a little- you guys are hilarious!
14:40 someone probably discovered what unicorn horns can do, and what the other ingredients can do. Then someone said, hey maybe if I combine them it will make this affect and they tried it and it worked.
if you guys are put off by the size of the roads just pay attention to the size of the armies - at the assembly in catolis there's the top-down shot (no idea on filmography terms) where it looks like a school assembly, then the bottom up shot where it looks like a stadium, then on the road its like this insane mask of which catolis vould maybe have supplied half xD also I'm pretty sure aaravos showed humanity all the dark magic spells

I'm pretty sure the deal between Viren and Ez was that if Ez abdicated and gave the throne to Viren, then the other kingdoms wouldn't attack since Viren would lead them all against Xadia and that those who didn't want to fight anymore could be let go.
I'M EARLYYYYYYYYYYY I love you guys, you watch TDP, Avatar, Hamilton, BMC- Y'all are the perfect humans Also mini theory, what if aaravos is trapped inside the key and the actual 'key' is that all six sides need to be glowing and that's why it was inside the winter lodge in human lands because humans can't do primal magic! (Aside from Mic's special snowflake Callum)
When you were talking about who wrote all the spells and components for dark magic and stuff, I have a feeling that it was Aaravos. The story does imply to a certain extent that he taught it to humans!
In the Middle Ages, it was a fairly common practice for ruling parties to imprison the heirs of deceased kings. That way, they can keep an eye on them, and they don't tick off the people via infanticide. Which was often done anyway. Look up Richard III.
Ezran had to step down as King and pardon lord viren or prince "i dont like vegetables" would attack them and a lot of inoccent people would die (vieren arrange for him to be thrown in jail for dramitic effect)
You’ve probably figured this out in the last 6 months, but Ezran’s plan in abdicating the throne was 100% about making sure that any soldier who didn’t want to fight would be allowed to leave. Also he was certainly persuaded to abdicate to Viren in particular by the implied conversation with the shady councilman guy, and people are okay with it because they WANT war with Xadia. Ezran’s one of the few who knows better. Now idk whether his being imprisoned was Viren’s demand to honor this agreement or if it’s part of Katolis law upon abdicating the throne, but Ezran was in a lose-lose situation and made the decision to save as many lives as he could.

Also Viren was but in jail partially for treason. But the king he treasoned against isn't king anymore so there is no crime he committed.

Yea, I thought the same thing. He felt guilty about Sarai's death; and it clouded his judgement (I mean I'm pretty sure there were more factors & motives, but yes, I believe this was one of them).
To be honest, the whole plot line with Ezran was kinda wack. Still love this show tho ❤
*also we all know that you watched this in one sitting.*
I feel like it was more showing how unready he really was to take up the position as king, without his brother by his side.
Because Ezran is so kind hearted he is unwilling to defend even the thing he believes in, which is to make peace with Xadia, he doesn't want to fight despite it being what is needed.
The fight was going to happen no matter what he only delayed the inevitable confrontation.
He is still a kid, and willing to say he won't fight Xadia, until he is forced by threats of others to yield, he deeply cares about his people, but he doesn't yet understand that it is his duty to keep his people safe and sometimes it may seem counter-intutive that fighting is the only way to keep peace, but it is fighting in the short term for the long term peace, and he is unwilling to ask others to give their lives up in war.
He lacks that maturity to understand when you need to make a stand and see things through to the end.
It is his short-sighted kindness that holds him back, just like Viren's biggest character flaw is his short-sighted desire for power and violence.
Ezran is a character that can change for the better, to understand that at times we don't have a perfect choice but that we need to be willing to see things through.
Ezran is what, eight years old? He's responsible for a lot of human lives, and he was told the other armies wouldn't kill those people in war if he stepped down, so he forced through what protections he could (allowing unwilling soldiers to leave the army and not be forced to make war) and complied. To us, it's obvious that the human war was a bluff and the Xadian war has the potential to be far, far worse than a human one, but we're not little kids.
@@derinedala5032 Yeah I think that is a big part of what it shows us about Ezran, that he can't yet see things as a bigger thing, he is still far too young for the burdens of rulership, a more mature person would have refused the ultimatum and fought on, knowing that there could be reinforcements on the way, if you are clever.
But overall we see how not ready Ezran is yet.
This is the correct answer. There's no need to be an apologist for a dumb plotline in an otherwise still very good show, I don't know why some people feel the need to.
It was a really weird/unbelivable way to get Viren to be king, it could've been done better. They literally arrested him for killing a bunch of guards. Unless Opeli didn't tell anyone about that (which would make no sense) I don't understand why no one objected to him being king.
It is the nature of Royalty, when one line ends, you lock up the survivors from that line so that they don't attempt to re-take the throne. That is why Ezran had to be locked up
I like Claudia its just a shame she became corrupted by her father
I am glad that Callum and Rayla are now together and now all that is left is for Amaya and Gren to get together
Bait is the master of hiding
It will get dark
Preach, my guy. Preach
... So Soren, Claudia, AND Viren are in the real world?!?!?
Oh. My.
Viren: I am the King now.
Scar: Pff, what an Amateur.

This season sure upgraded edginess of the dark spells
"Squishy Squishy bloop bloop" best incantation spell word
Okay- I'll explain.
Ezran made a deal to step down as king in exchange for katolis not being attacked. Ezran didn't know, however, that they would throw him in jail. hope that helped a little- you guys are hilarious!
14:40 someone probably discovered what unicorn horns can do, and what the other ingredients can do. Then someone said, hey maybe if I combine them it will make this affect and they tried it and it worked.

The fellowship of the jelly tarts.
You have my sword.
And you have my bow.
And my ax.
And my jelly tarts.
OMG THAT THUMBNAIL "BEGONE LAVA"
AAAAAAAA
12:33 LOOK AT BAITS' FACE!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Claudia : You only need one color to paint that picture.
Me : OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you guys are put off by the size of the roads just pay attention to the size of the armies - at the assembly in catolis there's the top-down shot (no idea on filmography terms) where it looks like a school assembly, then the bottom up shot where it looks like a stadium, then on the road its like this insane mask of which catolis vould maybe have supplied half xD
also I'm pretty sure aaravos showed humanity all the dark magic spells
I love it that your family is real life Soren, Claudia, and Viren. I love it. XD
RAYLLUM MY SHIIIIIIIIIP
10:18
“I need jelly tarts”
Ethan: tripping and falling and dying and tripping and falling and dying and help!”
Me: *dies of laughter*
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
now i need a jelly tart....
Can we all just stop and appreciate that Viren used his inner Hitler when he talked about the badges?
Michaela, can we be best friends???? You are me in every way I swear 😂😂😂
(I’m also Claudia, cause my big brothers name is Soren) 😄😄😄
Soren is a good boy (⸝⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ⌑ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀⸝⸝⸝)
There are like 10,000 Bible references in here XD LIKE LEGIT AARAVOS IS THE DEVIL TELLING YOU LIES I was dYInG! Thank you so much for your channel, you always find a way to make me smile :). You guys are like, the BEST XD
Ezran couldn't make the decision that needed to be made so he stepped down.
In order to please the other kingdoms he needed to go to jail
I'm pretty sure the deal between Viren and Ez was that if Ez abdicated and gave the throne to Viren, then the other kingdoms wouldn't attack since Viren would lead them all against Xadia and that those who didn't want to fight anymore could be let go.
I'M EARLYYYYYYYYYYY I love you guys, you watch TDP, Avatar, Hamilton, BMC-
Y'all are the perfect humans
Also mini theory, what if aaravos is trapped inside the key and the actual 'key' is that all six sides need to be glowing and that's why it was inside the winter lodge in human lands because humans can't do primal magic! (Aside from Mic's special snowflake Callum)
Thanks for the highlight
I still have no idea how you get highlighted tho-
Also Thunder's death was one of the sadest deaths I have ever seen. And Sarai's sole screaming "NO!" As Harrow throwed the spear made it even sadder.
Is it bad that I kind of want Sarai's soul to come back and confront Viren? After all, he was the one who ultimately caused King Harrow to die.
I think those guards we're on ezran's side since he is a literal baby so they let the glowing hay slide
6:58 This was me throughout the whole show
siblings: Viren is very- scrammbled egg brain
When you were talking about who wrote all the spells and components for dark magic and stuff, I have a feeling that it was Aaravos. The story does imply to a certain extent that he taught it to humans!
IT'S THE QUENCHIEST!!!
The guy is literally moses, i mean, he did take the humans into the promissed land
I mean...yes and no.
Evil moses
*Soren helps Ezran*
Me, and everyone else: "I'm so proud of you"
also eey my art is in here! :D
Thing about Viren: He is a sorcerer, a very powerful sorcerer, you do not question a very powerful sorcerer ^^'
I found you guys just after I finished season 3, and you guys are just hilarious!
In the Middle Ages, it was a fairly common practice for ruling parties to imprison the heirs of deceased kings. That way, they can keep an eye on them, and they don't tick off the people via infanticide. Which was often done anyway. Look up Richard III.
Ezran had to step down as King and pardon lord viren or prince "i dont like vegetables" would attack them and a lot of inoccent people would die (vieren arrange for him to be thrown in jail for dramitic effect)
don't hate me for this
but the black dude who was helping viren
IT'S AARON BURR SIR
again please don't hate me
IM ALEXANDER HAMILTON, IM AT YOUR SERVICE SIR
Bro, corvus is Lafayette too
LpsLotusPetal that was the first This I said when I seen him
“Omg, LAFF WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A SHOW ABOUT DRAGONS?”

The guy that killed Hamilton?
Yeah that pretty much ended his political career and had to move to Canada to escape the crowd.
You’ve probably figured this out in the last 6 months, but Ezran’s plan in abdicating the throne was 100% about making sure that any soldier who didn’t want to fight would be allowed to leave. Also he was certainly persuaded to abdicate to Viren in particular by the implied conversation with the shady councilman guy, and people are okay with it because they WANT war with Xadia. Ezran’s one of the few who knows better. Now idk whether his being imprisoned was Viren’s demand to honor this agreement or if it’s part of Katolis law upon abdicating the throne, but Ezran was in a lose-lose situation and made the decision to save as many lives as he could.
14:32 deftly the first dark mages experimenting to see want they can do with dark magic
Siblings who look too young to drink diss a lovely show sarcastically while I'M drunk. DELIGHTFUL.
