Aaravos's Secrets REVEALED - The Dragon Prince Theory
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2019
- A new intriguing Startouch elf that goes by the name of Aaravos has made his official debut in the Dragon Prince Season 2. But his impact on the story has been around since the beginning. It is not the first time he has interacted with humans and given them gifts, and certainly won't be the last.
Passages we saw in season 2 gave us more insight into the past of this mysterious archmage. See them translated, as well as what they might be alluding to, by watching this Dragon Prince Season 2 theory video!

What are your thoughts on Aaravos? Will he be the big bad of the show, or is he a friend to all humans? We await your theories...
just spitballing here BUT could Aaravos be a DARK star touched born not from a star but a Blackhole
I don't see why Aaravos can't be both, maybe he views humans as petulant children that need his supervision, unlike the other elves who view them as a nuisance. It still isn't great and it still provides conflict, but it certainly seems more interesting than, Evil for Evil and Power for Power's sake
Cartoon Universe I think that Avaros was put in the mirror because he tried to harm the elves and humans, and I think that Avaros is ok
Btw at 3:10 those words are in arabic. it is weird that they wrote them in a way that i can't even read them fast because it is flipped ( arabic written from left to write instead of the opposite lol )
How can we forget the captain
Aravos: exists
Me: *oh no he's hot!*
*like*
I dont want to ruin the 69 likes.
#squidward
His damn voice makes it worse and by worse I mean hotter
That was literaly my exact thought when i first saw him.
Me: OH WAIT- *HES A GUY???*
Araavos strikes me as someone who lost someone special and now just wants the world to burn
Me too
I had this theory from the moment I saw him
Personally, I hope it's not another revenge breeds revenge cycle, it would be nicer to see him as a stoic villain who has motives from seeing the bigger picture, and revenge from losing someone special would be just another cliché story in my opinion.
@@Ordinary_Mortal Sexy mysterious magic devil man coming from another world. yep the math makes sense
@@HeroChestnut guess will found out
What do you think about Aaravos? Is he bad or good?
Me: Oh
Me: I think he is hot
🤣
good to know that i'm not the only one who thinks that
or hot ! :D
"Oh no he's hot!"
Gayyyy !
The first time I saw him I thought arrovos was female for a while.
Wow. 1.6 k likes. Never would have thought people would like this random comment so much.
I think everyone thought that
@@hades4134 I didn't ever think he was a woman but I do see it.
I thought he was a girl till I saw his face
Oh definitely. That voice caught me off guard.
Do you guys watch anime a lot? I feel like people who watch a lot of anime knew he was a guy at first glance, but obviously I can’t generalize everyone like that. I was just curious to see if there was anything to that theory. If you guys are anime watchers then it’s pretty much debunked right off 😅
2:46 Or...Aaravos' fate is what Runaan fears more then death. Being locked in an object forever. Isn't that more ironic?
Am with you there. Runaan just looked at that mirror itself, not "beyond" it, where Aaravos would be. So im sure hes actually afraid of being locked up like this. Which would make him being locked the same way in a golden coin even more evil...
I think the fate more terrible than death is a reference to a sentence that was thought to be worse than death in the antiquity
:
The fate of being erased from history and forgotten. As we saw all the text speaking about him were erased and the discovery of dark magic was attributed to an human mage.
The elves may have been too horrified and arrogant to let the world know that an elf was the first dark mage.
@@spaceapplez True. I didn't think about that.
oh oof
@@spaceapplez dude you're quite insightful aren't you
Personally wouldnt mind if Callum became an Archmage. I feel like what Aaravos saw in humans is the fact they have the _capability_ to use all forms of magic. It's just tremendously more difficult for them and so most/none have ever unlocked all of the arcana, let alone one like Callum. I like the idea that humans in this world are actually exploding with potential but most aren't able to make use of it.
To elaborate on this, I think he gave them the knowledge of dark magic because he knew it was the key to connected to the primal sources, like how Callum was only able to connect to the sky arcana after using dark magic.
@@RonaldDotCa I could see that. At the same time though I feel like they're trying to make it clear that Dark Magic isn't okay in any sense in this world. Personally I see it more as Callum experiencing something similar to Zuko's metamorphosis in Avatar. Where he got sick by not only being inexperienced with Dark Magic but also due to a metaphorical and very literal internal struggle. Surpassing that of course opened his mind to the arcana he'd been trying to understand at the time, the Sky arcana.
But that's just my theory at least.
Deku Doriya I think that magic is actually a primal source of death 💀 and elves discovered it but demed it to dangerous but for one reason or another avaros decided to give it to humans and as punishment he was trapped in the mirror
Maybe Callum’s dad didn’t “die” and instead was trapped in a mirror for having love with a human, and than that mirror was put in the dragon king’s lair, if you see where I am going with this! Aaravos passed his abilities to his son and Callum’s Mum just never spoke about it (and tried to forget her past and move on) and that’s why she has a soft spot for magical creatures! Maybe it was Rayla’s grandparents that gave human’s dark magic, which would make way for a interesting story
GG-Ginger Gaming Point12 god I hope not I much prefer the idea that Callum is just an average human
This good-looking elf... how can we resist? 😪
totally divine so much likes no reply dit u buyed on it??
Is that joseph????? Omg 🥺
@@Bajahabwi huh no I don't even know there is such thing.
@@Unforgettableflower YES! I started a UA-cam btw: BRIwhy I will be posting my Joseph gameplays soon if you are interested 😂
I will totally watch that 😂 i am joseph main too ❤️
Runaan never said that Aaravos was worse than death, He said "You've found something worse than death" he never specified Aaravos. He could be referring to the mirror or how the mirror is like a capsule that imprisons someone... which makes it quite funny when Viren imprisons him in the coin, and this would also explain why Runaan looks so scared in the coin - its a similar fate.
Shut up
@@itheivoidi9151 Rude much...
I just read all these theories after I wrote mine recently - I agree with you - I was thinking I was the only one but o course ya never are!
Wasn't he referring to the punishment of him? Be imprisoned for ever in a coin.
@@gadio16 he had no idea about the coins at that point, he said it in response to the mirror being unavailed. Most people think it's because he knows Aaravos is inside it but it could be that the mirror has a darker meaning. No one really knows what happened to Aaravos, at least that's what the characters are shown to think.
I mean the Mirror has imprisoned Aaravos in a building that seems to have no place or time. (He can walk through a door but we don't know where it goes, and there is no Day night cycle, it's always day) He's literally existing forever in isolation with absolutely no changes in stimulus. At least the coins can seemingly hear and exist in the normal day and night cycle. Aaravos is in the perfect bubble of seclusion, separated from time and space.
I had my suspicions of him having a hand in creating dark magic and this basically confirms it. But i never considered him as a Prometheus kind of character, but i have to admit that would make sense and it would be a good twist for the story. I presume that humans were badly treated while under the elves, maybe even enslaved, which is why Aaravos ended up helping them. Maybe his goal was to force the elves and humans to treat each other as equals, but his plan failed when the other elves found out and imprisoned him. I think it'd make for a better story if he was a misunderstood good guy, instead of some sadistic big bad.
i agree being a misunderstood villain would be a better story. i think he was imprisoned not simply because he was the one to possibly teach dark magic but i think he being able to use more than one or in his case all types of magic scared the elves cause they feared if not only humans but other elves learned how to do it it unbalance the level of power and cause catastrophy.
Vissia or maybe the elves screwed him over somehow and he gave humans dark magic to screw the elves over
Vissia PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE
that makes so much sence plus i love the idea
Vissia I’d say Aaravos is very much like the tale of Lucifer- the most beautiful angel that fell from Heaven’s grace. Once the most beloved elf of the dragon king (speculation), he is now their greatest and darkest shame. He is cunning and I believe he despises humans, viewing them as mindless tools, tricking them into embracing a magic so evil it would spur an all out genocide against humanity. Instead humanity is cast out of Eden- cough- Xadia.
So, yeah. Aaravos is very likely a double edged blade for both elves and humans.
I mean the creators of the show said aarovos isnt evil just disliked. So he may not be a villain
When and where did they state this?? I cant find it anywhere!
@@MoonPrincess456 I'm trying to find the source but it was in an interview
@@humphrke Thanks! 😊
He may not be straight up evil but i think we should not loose sight of the fact that dark magic is fuelled by killing magical creatures, including sentient ones. Regardless of his actual alignment, he may be alien enough as to make the words meaningless
I think this show has most of it's characters (that are not pure white) in "shades of gray" state, and I don't see it outraight making anyone just plain black. We also might get some of "blue and orange morality" to the face. That would be interesting.

@@VM-bn7pl It's a joke
Anyone else thought Aaravos was a lady initially but after hearing his deep voice became oddly attracted to him?
Limerence everyone. You are describing everyone I’ve come across who watches this show
Limerence me too I thought he was a girl at first but after I heard his deep voice I was like “oh never mind I was wrong I really thought he was a girl.”
nope. obviously a hot dude. NO BOOBS! A MAN'S FACE!
that was my mood when I saw thranduil at first time
I definotely thought he was a lady
To me, Araavos gave the "gift" of dark magic to a human child he got attached to and she used it against the other elves. They found out what Araavos did and locked him away and cursed his name like shown in the show.
Despite what she says here in the review I have always seen Elarion as a city - that magic or a gift was given to that as a whole not an individual -
the way the description is its a metaphor - and some personification of the situation /city's state - of being poor or in trouble and abandoned by those who could help
*FBI OPEN UP*
@@bootes33 actually Elarion is the name of the city in season 3 opening Sol Regem threatened to destroy . Later he did destroyed it .
@@Guruguru-nl8bs yes of course.
I'm a simple person. I see Aaravos in the thumbnail and I click.
He gave gifts? I'm getting some Sauron as Annatar vibes there.
Lets hope the gifts didn't come in the form of rings.
@@merrittanimation7721 ?
"One rune to rule them all"
Thats the first thing I thought and I cannot unsee it now even though I hope he will be more of a gray than actual villain character...I mean I dont want anyone suffer Celebrimbors fate

when you realize Elarion is a city
Claudia will eventually be corrupted by her dark magic and the final fight will actually between Callum and Claudia/Aaravos. That's my hunch. We'll lose viren before long.
Yeah. I feel like next season they will bring Zym home and parallel the return as king for Zym with the story of Ezran. Viren will be Sol Regem in this parallel I feel like; the person who served the old king and does not deem the young prince old enough to reign. The story will unfold further from there, I think.
I hope so
Yet still I cant see Ezran as a king he is too young
Ohhhh you got a point. Maybe Aaravos will dump Viren and use his daughter instead.
Jordan Hamann I don’t want that though. I’m hoping to go the route of dark master but with Callum, since Callum wouldn’t think dark magic came from an elf. As for Claudia, here me out on this, I want her to go through an arc involving her learn Earth magic because to me, Earth magic and dark magic are complete opposites
@@dragonstouch1042
Same, I'd probably cry if Claudia got corrupted. If that happens that would be the second time the once sweet homegirl gets corrupted due to some sparkly golden-eyed immortal elf messing with them. (I'm still trying to get over Princess Franny.)
Was anyone else so insanely intrigued by the way aaravos lips moved when he said ".. Yet. "
I think it's really interesting Thunder kept the mirror at all. If he was truly concerned about Aaravos escaping, why not smash the mirror? Or use magic to hide it such as Lujanne hid Ava's leg? Thunder must have kept him around for a reason,
If Thunder managed to trap him why not outright kill him? Your right about smashing the mirror. If Aaravos is really that dangerous why keep him around at all.
Maybe he's so powerful even Thunder viewed him as a last ditch resource?
@@christieweyapuk3413 I must question your line of reasoning. Tricking somebody, whom you can't defeat, into entering a trap is a common trope.
BananacornKate maybe smashing the mirror would kill him
Maybe smashing the mirror wouldn’t do anything. It could reform itself or maybe the portal would be moved to a different mirror reincarnation-style. Also, I think the logic behind keeping it with Thunder rather than under an illusion is: Who’s going to be crazy enough to attack the Dragon King in his own lair? It most likely took a HUGE army and a ton of Dark Magic to actually kill him. Also, maybe the elves were worried that they themselves might be tempted by Aaravos’ power, like Viron is now, and they believed the Dragon King would be the only one honorable or powerful enough to resist the temptation. That way the mirror would be kept not just from the humans, but the elves as well.
People keep pinning Aaravos as the big bad of the series. I don’t know. With the connection to Prometheus, who was never portrayed as straight evil (always at least a sympathetic character), I’m not so sure he is the big bad. It’s a possibility, but we’ll definitely have to wait and see on that. Something I’m unsure of is whether inherently magical creatures can come to understand other arcanums. Obviously, Aaravos can, so I don’t see why dragons and moon shadow elves, like Rayla, could not. So when Aaravos says he sees potential in humanity, it does not seem to me that humans are solely capable of wielding multiple aracanums or dark magic.
lol he sint
Runaan: "you found a fate worse then death"
*my ex*
MY FIRST THOUGHT--
Aww Aaravos might have a love life how cute! 💜
Had possibly
Caitlyn Howe for all we know, the elves did something to her and Aaravos gave humans dark magic to honor her while also screwing with the other elves. That’s just what I think might’ve went down though
Elarion is a place tho.
As of now, I think Aaravos is operating via Genie rules. He'll help you get anything you wish, just be careful what you wish for. Humans of old wished to be as equals with the magic wielding Elves. If Aaravos really give them dark magic to answer such a wish, we can clearly see how that backfires. Also the Key of Aaravos may very well be the key that frees him from the mirror 0.0
Yeah, even I think that the Key of Aaravos is actually the Key to Aaravos.
I think aaravos was interested in humanity and knowledge and saved the human girl who was called a child in the text but was probably close in age to our older main cast.
They became lovers after a while and he gave magic to humans. The other elves hated this banished him into the mirror and banished humanity
I think the boy's mother was the descendant of aaravos and that is why the boys have magic and why the cube is with callum. A destiny birth right
Humanity probably warped history or the elves did to paint aaravos as a villain and that is why he hides texts with his name, he does not lie but written history does.
Perhaps years of solitude and hatred have warped him into desiring vengeance and those who wronged him
SunnySide Souffle history is written by the victors. I think if the elves also did something to his lover would also further warp him mind and make him hate elves.
SunnySide Souffle heck, it would make even more sense if Aaravos gave human’s dark magic in retaliation if the elves did do something to his lover. It’s likely relationships between the races was taboo, especially an archmage like him
That... would explain a lot. If the elves sent humans into the west, then a pregnant human would have been sent the same way, with the elves thinking the baby was pure human, and eventually the descendants became queen Serai then Callum and Ezran, and callums key is what unlocks his prison.
Does anyone remember Lujane talking about a realm between life and death
"Ancient elves used to use these ruins to do rituals that open pprtals to a world between life and death" -Lujane.
I didn't get the quote right but, yeah.
And in the letter that King Harrow wrote to Callum he mentioned *aravoses key* (the glowy cube thingie) i think aravos is trapped in that world between life and death, and *aravoses key* is used to open that portal to that world.
It may happen in season 4 (that aravos wil escape) or 5 for now we just have to wait
I also saw some theories that there will be six element wielders, with Callum being sky, Reyla being moon, and Ezran being Earth. Already halfway to six there.
That makes a lot of sense!
Me too. It would be cooler to have a team of element wielders instead of just one "Avatar", that way the main character wouldn't be too much in the spotlight and we can get more development of others.
I think that Aaravos is trapped in that plane beyond life and death like we saw in that episode where the moon illusionist explained how they opened portals to other planes. They probably did this as the elf's only way to get rid of him. Also when Viren asks him "Where are you?" he responds with "I don't know" to which Viren said "Don't lie to me" and defensively Aaravos states that "I never lie." They completely brushed off the topic of where he was located. Although he does seem to be doing a fair amount of research in his library. We also see that he walks in and out of his room. On top of all that when Runaan says he found something worse than death, you see his eyes darting around the mirror as if he's looking BEYOND the mirror. It is kind of a stretch tho.
So did the ancient moon mages at the Nexus lock him in the plane between life and death when they destroyed the Nexus? Is that how the Nexus was destroyed?
Aaravos is hot af
What if the gift that Aaravos gave the humans is the ability to tap into different arcanums, just the knowledge of it got lost once Aaravos got trapped in the mirror? It seems a bit fishy that Callum is able to connect with the sky arcanum just by being in tune with the sky or something, so my theory is that, since the time of Elarion, all humans have arcanums, they just don't know it. This would explain Ezran having the ability to talk to animals. Ezran was born with an earth arcanum, and Callum was born with sky. It's possible that Aaravos didn't give Elarion dark magic, but was trying to save her from using it by giving her real magic. We've seen that dark magic has ill effects on the user's body and mind, so if they were close to each other I don't think that Aaravos would set her down a path of destruction by giving her dark magic, but would try to grant her the gift of her own arcanum instead.
That’s actually a really smart theory.
In regards to no passages containing his name being readable I think there's something extra to that. Iirc Aaravos gave a warning to Viren before giving his name and only then did Viren look him up and find the books unreadable. But Callum read Harrow's letter which contained the name Aaravos, so: Hearing his name uttered activates whatever spell caused the books to change.
Season three convinced me that Aaravos is pretty evil. But that isn't something bad, evil characters can still be very relatable and have reasonable motivations propelling their questionable methods.
wait what
@@maximilianoescarregaibarra1027 I may have misused the term "reasonable". But what I was trying to say os that some villains' ideals at least make sense, although they might not be still wrong.
I need more Aaravos in Season 3, can't get enough of his mystery. It'll be really intresting to see his backstory to present day in the Dragon Prince. Callum's journey to being an Archmage
Nice video!
Regardless of evil, good or hot guy. I just hope they give him a good made story somehow. And not just he is evil or good and done with that.
My greatest wish about this character thought would be chaotic grey moral character. That wants some equality between creatures, but somehow managed make it a complicated mess someone else did not like.
There is even an interview there the creators just say "He is complicated, disliked, and that bad and disliked is different things.
Kristine maybe trying to fulfill a love ones wish and have it warped by anger?
Aaravos strikes me as chaotic neutral
I feel Aaravos is a lot like the avatar. He can go into a state where his eyes glow and he becomes op. And he is the master of all primal sources.
I wish they were in the same universe.
I legit thought Aaravos was a female when he first appeared
I had my own theories about Aaravos. And after seeing the whole 3rd season today and watching this video, just about all have been confirmed.
What I want to know is why aavaros went against the elves, the dragons and Thunder? What would make him want to change? Did he see that humans were at a disadvantage because they couldn't use magic? But Callum could as a human so that defeats the purpose of dark magic. I'm sure aavaros knows humans can learn the arkaneum (I don't know how to spell that). It's just so odd. Whatever aavaros did must have been terrible for him to be locked in the mirror.
Viren at this point is just a pawn to aavaro at this point.
I am sure one of Aaravos' crimes is practicing dark magic but probably other things as well
Well, on the subject of Magic, I think the Elves especially despised Dark Magic because it was almost a perversion, a cheap copy, of the Original Six. Think about it; Dark Mages form their spellcraft by converting the Arcana of flora, fauna, and other materials to fuel them. An example would be the Titan's heart being used to create an abnormally long summer. And my guess is that the larger and stronger the creature, the mightier the spell. Where would such power go? Therefore, the Elves sought to banish the atrocity from Xadia, ergo, the cursing of Aaravos and Humanity's exile.
"But Callum could as a human so that defeats the purpose of dark magic" - yeah, the first human that could connect to the primal source without external help. first in thousands of years (dark magic was said to be discovered thousand years ago). so it does defeat the purpose of dark magic, but only now. how can aaravos know that humans can connect to the acranum if we only see one human do it? and he haven't even seen callum yet. he's in the freaking mirror. i don't think he has morning news channels in his mirror to tell him what is happening in the real world.
besides, there is a theory that callum is not fully human and has elves blood in him, so if that's true then pure-blood humans still can't do primal magic, only the human with elven ancestry.
@@Faolan-qe9vl there is no such thing as "flora/fauna arcanum". arcana are "the secret of the Primal, or its meaning", as lujanne said. there are six primals, and thus, there are six arcana. moon's arcanum is that "that appearances are the truth of reality".
but i agree on everything else. plus, i think, elves knew that such magic practices would lead to the extinction of many species. we already see it in human kingdoms, since there are almost no magic creatures. it's implied that they were hunted down by dark mages. elves foresaw that too.
@@escapee8598 I just thought Callum shouldnt be the first human to unlock the arkaneum. There could of been other humans who learned to unlock it. Also because aarvous knows all 6 primal magic sources he must have unlocked the arkaneum like Callum did so I thought he could know humans can unlock it. Aarvaros knows a lot about the primal sources so it isn't surprising if he knew humans could learn magic if they unlock the arkaneum.
But you are right that he has been looked in the mirror for a while so he may not know.
If he does know humans can unlock magic then there would be no need for him to teach dark magic to them. So I guess he doesn't know.
I agree that it's possible for Callum to have magic in him since his dad could of been a elf.
I'm starting to think that humans who have a blood line that involves elves can actually do primal magic but instead of being born with the ability they have to unlock the arkaneum.
I feel so lucky to be able to read what’s in the book عربي شي جمييللل
I wish I could :D it's awesome that you can do it!
احسنت
Does anyone else think Aravos and Lotor look alike.
Me lol
Aaravos is hotter
Both their voices r attractive af tho lotor with that accent and Aravos with that bass
YES I WAS THINKING THAT
and in realizing that I now know I have a type.
@@zygouz6129 Yep totally type
If you look up the meaning behind the name Aaravos, you get “between light and dark. Not good or bad.”
When Aaravos is released from the mirror.
"Welcome to the end of the world"
This is a great theory! Great job
What a coincidence. I was thinking of Ko the face stealer as I was drawing a creature from my imagination.
King Khaalid I find it funny you say that because he sound just like Ko the face stealer.
Rashaan Robinson because it’s the same voice
He's a very mysterious character but I don't want to think that he's evil right away as we really don't know enough about him to conclude that, however I do feel like he's the type of character who acts in his own self interest, plus he's hot xD (That voice omg)
he is probably neutral evil
Aaravos being only evil with no motivation would be disappointing. While I don't think he has the greater good in mind I doubt he is just evil for the sake of it.
@@TheSpencermacdougall my gues is more chaotic neutral, because I don't see Aaravos as evil but rather as following his own plans. a morally grey character, if I can say so.
I am super impressed with these translations. I really didn't expect to find them in a fan video!
Phedess never underestimate dedicated fans who want information, I learned that when I entered the Gravity Falls fandom
Yeah, he could totally go either way at this point, good or evil. Or in between. This show seems good at in between. But I do know this; he is hot. Oh so very attractive.
Umiray Crow and that voice could melt chocolate
Dragon’s Touch that is not fake news
Umiray Crow though, it’s also the voice of Koh the Face Stealer so that cannot bode well
Really like the video. Way more history about Aaravos than what I covered.
The secret lover bit could be interesting but maybe treading too closely to castlevania.
Aaravos’ Arc is the most interesting, change my mind
Now we know Elarion is a city founded by the dark mage from the intro and the dragon is Sol Regem
This video is so awesome that I cannot stop watching
I'm not sure he "never lies." That could in itself BE the lie...
I just think Aaravos reminds me too much of Lucifer, the Morning Star of Judeo-Christian theology, who some sects take to be Satan, the Devil, a fallen angel who appears as an angel of light, but is "the father of all lies," the Deceiver/Accuser of mankind's hubris.
🤷♂️ Perhaps we'll see a him to be a more sympathetic character, but EVERY instinct I have just makes me believe this Aaravos is just playing with mankind, trying to unseat the balance of power in heaven and Xadia for his own purposes...or even just his amusement.
katarnlunney
I thought I was the only one that thought that and here's a interesting thing
Lucifer =the Morning star
Aavaros =the Midnight star
*judeo-Christian-Islamic, they believe in it too. But the show did say they take more from Greek mythology, he might be based off one of their stories.
Everyone needs an emotional support Crow Master.
i'm very intrigued with Aaravos. i can't wait until the Book 4 comes out so we can find out more about him.
I believe that Aaravos put a spell on Viren to prevent him from learning more about him, since Harrow mentioned the name and how the cube belonged to Aaravos in his letter to Callum
It would be really refreshing if the show hasn't a big bad character - there is already so much missunderstanding and conflict in the show that I feel it doesn't need an evil character to be interresting. I mean, there are a lot of other genres that are able to go without a single character in the evil-department, so why limit it to these genres?
Plus, evil and good are just two sides of the same medal and depend on who is telling the story.
You know Attack on Titan doesn't really have any villains at all
Same
Gonna rewatch tomorrow to make sure i caught everything
Wow your explanation was awesome 👏 I really can’t wait for the forth season now
Aarovos also has a ton of parallels to Lucifer. Especially when referencing the midnight star, the brightest star. He is quite literally a fallen star (star elf) trapped in a prison for all of eternity.
Fantastic video! Aaravos seems so mysterious I love it.
with season 3 out, and the dark mage in the beginning claiming that he got his staff from one of the old ones... waddya bet Aaravos is one of the old ones, and he's the one behind this entire war?
I love that you put the end credits theme from the legend of korra as part of the background music
Man, you guys are geniuses! You did it! You actually guessed it, well done!
There are many possibilities for Aaravos. I think the Prometheus comparison is a likely one, where he's responsible for giving humans the ability to wield dark magic and is imprisoned by the other magical creatures as punishment. Whether he's a villain or not is a little trickier. I could see him being a Sauron-like entity filled with malevolence after centuries of imprisonment, waiting for a vessel desperate enough to connect him back to the real world and restore him to his former power.
However, I could also see him being akin to God Emperor Leto II from the Dune mythos-as a Startouch archmage of incomparable knowledge, perhaps he has seen all possible futures of the world and is working to ensure that the most desirable one for _all_ creatures comes to fruition, even if that means sowing tragedy and destruction in the present.
QBG I think along the lines of this: maybe Aaravos had someone close to him who wanted to help the humans but something happened to them (perhaps staged by another elf, hence why he cares so little for his kind) and he wanted to fulfill their wish, albeit in his own distorted manner to get back at the elves for what happened? Or maybe I’m just too much of romantic
Aaravos really reminds me of catherine halsey for some reason.
No price too high for obtaining knowledge.
Love the translations, super insightful overall, kudos!
Also on good bad and hot:
Possibly good intentioned.
But messed up methods.
Extremely.
shot in the dark: the staff that viren has, is both the staff in the intro (wielded by the dark mage) and created by aaravos
Can you do a "all dark spells on the dragon prince season 2"???
I shall!
Cartoon Universe
Can u do all the spells?
It won’t be hard to add 5 spells right?lol
And just to make it easier for u I’ll mention them
Aspro,the lightning spell,aspro somthing that makes it ice
Moon magic: the illusion spells
As a straight dude I would love Aaravos to whisper sweet nothings into my ear. Makes me swoon.
“Ha. Well? Open it for them!”
Thank you for making this‼️‼️‼️👏🏼
I had just finished The Dragon Prince Season 2, when is Season 3 coming soon
Not soon enough 😭😭
Christie Weyapuk Earliest its coming is june
probably coming june, tdp is in the 7 most streamed shows on netflix so i would be genuinely surprised if they didn't renew it for another season
June 20XX
Me too😭
Theory: Sarai, the kids' mother, might be a descendant of Aaravos from that taboo love affair. Who knows?
He definitely has potential to be a great villain, from how they've presented him so far. Looking forward to how it develops!
For the Alarian poem I was thinking more on the lines of Alarian representing humanity. The lovers theory makes sense too because it provides a bit of an explanation for how humans got the Key of Aaravos
How come King Haro knew of him but the Veiren kind of knew nothing
Travis letchford He knew the name of the key. It doesn’t indicate that he knew who Aaravos was as a person. Like knowing that an inanimate object in another country has a proper name attached to it but not knowing it was named after a person or even knowing who that person is.
I don't think Aaravos is pure evil. If he gave dark magic to human then that explains his exile and why he is willing to aid against the elves, plus that'd just be boring
Wow, great job on finding the poem. It is beautiful and why hide it? But then again its a hype for the great fans to figure out.
One of the most beautiful thumbnails ever
Anyone else getting some Anatar the Lord of Gifts (Sauron when he was hidden among the elves)
Can you decode the dark spells in Season two
I made a video on tumblr with all of them, just need to upload them to UA-cam!
I am very impressed by your video.
Awesome video, keep it up :)
wait Aavaros is the best character?
i thought the captains parrot was the best character in the season 2.
The captain and parrot were pretty funny.
Plus Crow Master is adorkable as well.
My theory is aaravos is Callums birth father thats why his magic is so strong and the reason he like humans so much was because of Callums mom
Crack pot theory’s are my fav
Or that he is callums grandfather
@@arjaskingalexandria that to ether way I still say their related some how
Grandfather would make more sense and the fact that both Callum and Ezran have magic (Callum =Sky, Ezran can talk to animals), Queen Sarai should be the one to pass that magic down as she makes them related.
what would make more sense is that Aovaros is an ancestor of Callum and Ezran's mother since they both have magical abilities
being a dane and suddenly being able to read that short passage of info about Aaravos was really an intriguing feeling
the avatar the last airbender subtly playing the background was a nice touch
I watched season 2 today
Could u do a video on whether dark magic is really evil? I ask because even though the elves treat it as evil it's concept doesn't really seem evil to me.
The simplest explanation to why dark magic is bad is because you kill magical creatures to get their magic.
@@linamayela couldn't the same be said for eating. Carnivores eat other creatures to get the energy contained in their prey's bodies. That way the carnivores can live. Now obviously, if you don't need to sacrifice something in order to live a healthy life you shoudn't. However, there are some situations where you have to make that choice. Like when Claudia sacrificed the baby deer to save her brother from being stuck, unable to move anything save for his head.
Haha, the book at 2:57 is in Danish xD Awesome!
I can't wait to learn more about this amazing character
Why are pretty things evil
Because the most lovely flowers are actually poisonous: examples opium poppies and angel's trumpets.
My hot take:
Viren = Zhao/Unalok
Claudia = Azula
Soren = Zuko
Aaravos = Ozai / Vaatu
Or at least that’s what I think their roles in the story will be
TurquoiseCrow Azula had no empathy and was paranoid. Claudia has it in spades... for humans anyway, and she trusts her brother implicitly.
There is a theory on reddit that Elarion is the 6th human kingdom and in some kind of war/struggle against a dragon the city appealed to the star elves for help and Aaravos gave them the ability to use dark magic and Elarion became the center of learning for dark magic. I like this theory a lot better than Elarion being a person, but we will see!
I can picture Aaravos singing, "I've got friends on the other side."
some people in a Brazilian Chanel named "Mundo Avatar" that theorize that Callem is Either Thunder (the dragon king) polimorphed into a human, or his is Zym's brother, again polimophed into a human
Erm, have they watched season two? Callum was around long before they killed Thunder.
@@twincast2005 they did, and said they may have got some thing wrong but they later came with a theory that Callem is Half-Elf
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Me: *found someone commenting “aaravos is hot af*
"But yet he never lies so what is the truth" and that is how u know he is a good villain/character
I feel like Aavaros was once part of the dragon guard originally an elf mage who slowly got corrupted after witnessing the power of the dragons
