      In Hawk's defense it's not like s/he knew Meredith turning into a red lyrium statue didn't completely kill her and it wasn't known that Darkspawn Magisters work like Arch Demons when you kill them at the time. Nobody knew what to do when a talking emissary showed up claiming to be one of those who once stepped into the fade and if myth is to be believed caused all of the World ending catastrophes of modern Thedas.

  • @B-rex395
    @B-rex395 2 роки тому +75

    One thing that’s important that this summary kind of glosses over is that at some point, Rezarin starts treating Neb and Miriam more like slaves than siblings. He refuses to take Miri’s feelings into consideration or listen to what she has to say, insists that she and her brother need a purpose, uses her ex as a hostage, tries to kill her friends in order to punish her for disobedience, and calls them both ingrates when they refuse to go along with it. Perhaps this started as a desire to make things right with his “family” but in the end he saw them more as possessions than family. Whether he was always that way, or changed due to his trauma, magister’s upbringing, or the abuse of blood magic, is a matter of debate.
    Regardless, this context is important because without it it’s easy to see rezarin as less villainous than he actually is.

      @Valiguss 2 роки тому +7

      One of the other things that makes it difficult to see just how bad he really was, is the knight commander, who is a fairly sympathetic character, but it’s important to note she is so down bad that rezarin can basically do no wrong in her eyes.
      I think this is the most important thing to consider, at the beginning his intentions seem genuine and he seems very sympathetic but he slowly kind of descends into madness or maybe just reveals his true colors, up to you which, i think the latter is the case though I think how he was raised, snd the abuse he may have suffered made a lot of this happen.
      He also does become more unstable and unhinged but I do not think it fundamentally changed anything much

      Dude, She tried to stab him as soon as she saw him, blaming him for her brother's death, when his mother was to blame for everything and she knows it deep down, but she needs to project that anger and guilt onto someone, which is frankly unfair and immature. Rezaren was self-centered, yes, but he wasn't evil, He never held a grudge or blamed her for the death of his mother. It was the way in which Miriam and her group sent everything to shit that plunged him into madness, they literally caused the death of half the city, many innocent among them. As charismatic as they are, we cannot forget that this was a group of thieves who took more lives than they saved.

      Show was poorly written no doubt. Rez was who I was rooting for until the last episode when he randomly killed some innocent dude. (didn't make sense because he literally went out of his way a dozen times prior to that to avoid killing literal thieves) Should've been the hero. Or they should've shown him being cruel AF as a kid. But 100% of our memories we are shown of him is them having fun and him being nice.

    @mrdomomrdomo 2 роки тому +16

    "It's never explained why he didn't bring his mother back" bruh the whole implication is that she was abusive and not to mention if you know anything from playing the games, tevinter parents "breed" their children for more potent magic bloodlines rather than actually loving their children or even seeing them as anything other than a tool, only except instead of "master " and "slave" its Father/Mother and Son/Daughter which is what probably twisted Rezarin's view of his "siblings", they are still slaves to him, he doesn't account for their feelings or anything and never bothered to ask Miriam what she thinks or even question himself whether or not Neb would be okay with being brought back, it was why Neb destroyed his own body, the artifact could bring anyone back from the dead as they were in life, it never said that it was a guarantee, "could" not "would", the spirit is not commanded it is only offered

    I'm a big DA fan and I loved the show. Watched it in one sitting.
    I liked that it didn't waste time to explain and set up everything but is pretty much aimed at people who played the games and dives straight into the story. It also goes quite dark thematically which I liked.
    The characters were all fun apart from maybe Qwydion who was very one note and mostly irrelevant to the plot. I love me some Ashly Burch though, so hopefully they flesh her out more in the future.
    The ending gave me chills.

    Here are the most important thing that I learn from playing Dragon Age games (which can also be applied to this ending).
    YOU NEVER TRUST THE MAGES !!!
    - Most of them are selfish maniacs, they are either thirsty for power or revenge or both.
    - Ambition is in their blood and they will do anything to achieve it.
    - While it’s true that anyone is capable of betrayal, mages are the only ones with the most destructive power. When mages go rogue, the troubles caused will be real disaster.

    Neb's spirit destroyed his body before the explosion. I had to go back several times to make sense of it. Apparently, Rezaren was able to summon Neb's spirit, but didn't have control over it. When spirit Neb's fingers made contact with his body, there was a bright blue/white light. He pushes the demon out and simultaneously does something to his body that causes it to disapate into blue light and then vanish completely. Rezaren couldn't command his spirit, and he destroyed his body so that Rezaran could never try again. At least, that's why I think he did it. I'm sure this was meant to show that he was finally free. That's why Rezaron called him ungrateful shortly after.
    This all happened right before the grenade exploded. Roland gestured for Lacklon to wait, presumably to see what would happen with Neb. When his body disappeared, Roland yelled "now!" and the grenade was thrown. Among the resulting explosion, implosion, explosion sequence, we see Neb's very calm spirit going back into the Fade.
    Sorry for the super long comment. I had a lot of trouble following what was happening in the battle scene because it was all moving so fast. I went back and paused at different parts several times until it made sense.

      What is very apparent and black and white is that they did not care for Rezaren. He romanticized the relationship he had with them. Probably bc he envied their close bond and never had anything like that in his own life.
      The only times Rezaren lashed out at them was when they did something that showed how little they cared about him. Granted, Neb only did it once bc he was a mindless corpse for almost the entire show. Trying to force affection where there isn't any is a bad move. I can understand why Rezaren acted the way he did, but that doesn't mean his actions are justifiable.

    I think something that could work well if the writers decide to do it is tackling the hypocrisy of Hira's actions. In the beginning of the series, she was encouraging Miriam to stop running from her past, but the whole time she was letting herself be consumed by her past and her desire for vengeance. It seems to me that she truly does love Miriam, but she's let her obsession with vengeance take over her entire being. Maybe it's just me, but I would love to see a scene like this where Hira gets called out for her hypocrisy, bonus points if it's between her and Miriam.

    @HansPeter-qy3wl Рік тому +6

    Rezaren was straight up the hero of this show, grew up with an abusive mother, genuinely cared for his friends and considered them family in a society that treats elfs like trash. He did his best to always find a solution were nobody had to die. His plan was to become the ruler and abolish slavery with his siblings by his side. The main characters are straight up a bunch of criminals who just murdered whoever stood in their way. ,,Hey guys i got a plan to save my girlfriend, all we have to do is murder every guard in the palace and release a dragon which is going to slaughter thousands of innocents (including children and of course also elfs)". The main character is so entitled and selfcentered, its impossible to like her.

      @rocketlioness Рік тому

      He could accomplish that without his slave/sibling. He is forcing one to serve him and he desecrated another's dead body and put a demon in it. He thinks they are his siblings but he sees them as an object to possess. If he wanted to do good, he could have done it without them. If you truly love someone, you let them be free.
      Also the dragon is a living thing. Keeping it trapped is pure torture. If it is a menace, why not kill it? Why torture it for 300 years by making it into a stone?
      It's his pure delusional greed.

      Varric was in control during the 2 years between the end of Inquisition and Trespasser. If the Inquisition is disbanded, it happens at the end of Trespasser, so the Red Templars could have taken control of Kirkwall after that (which would also explain why Varric teams up with whoever the new hero is in DA4, because he's no longer responsible for leading Kirkwall).

      I don't like the main character all that much either. I like almost every other character better. Although I don't really like her, I am able to excuse most of her angsty bs by telling myself that 1) she's really young; 2) character building was sacrificed due to time constraints (if they had been given ten episodes, I think they would have made her more relatable); 3) that we did see character development from her even with those time restraints; and 4) and that she'll most likely continue to display growth in the next season. I really hope there's a next season.

    I've played every DA game many times, and the thing about it no version is canon. In my main inquisition game I made claim that my female elf mage (to romance solas) was no herald, and in DA 2, Hawk was Viscount of Kirkwall, so how could Meredith or red templares have a presence there? Also a Qunari mage? The implications of that also aren't really addressed. I did like the dragon didn't murder her in the one scene, as they are thought to be decents of dragons themselves, so nice detail there.
    Other than those few inconsistencies, I thought the action was incredible and it gave us more insight into Tevinter which DA5 is going to placed, makes you think which characters we will see from the series in the game! :D
