      If I had to pick the best possible way a relationship in a show has to be done, I can now just point people towards The Dragon Prince and say: "Hey, go watch that show!"
      And dude, you are so right. I love that it is the beginning of a show (so to speak?). Like, it feels like the beginning because of how short the seasons are but it's nice to actually SEE a relationship. Not the beginning and start of it.
      Honestly, I want more shows/movies where they show the history, go through the present, and then when the show "ends" (final season, ect...) make another season showing where everyone is and how "a happy ever after" life is lead. Most everything ends up in the fairy tale end of everything being ok now. But we, the viewer/reader, gets cut off and only see the happy ending. I kind of want to see a chill life after everything ends. Like, an overview of a show but through the characters perspectives ya know?
      Sorry I rambled on an old comment! :D

    I don't want Rayllum to have an unhealthy relationship for the sake of drama, but to see them in a healthy relationship with realistic conflicts would not only be refreshing, but really important for the younger viewers of the show. People don't have many healthy relationships in media to look up to, and that's especially true for young people. Rayllum is a unique opportunity to show what a healthy relationship between teenagers looks like, the kinds of challenges they can expect, and how to overcome them.
    I'd personally love to see TDP explore the challenges of being an interracial couple. They can be external challenges like being unable to do PDA for fear of ridicule or even violence, or one person in the couple being treated with respect while the other is ignored or disrespected, or disapproving friends and family (Runaan and Rayla's parents I can see having a major problem with Callum). I also want to see internal issues like clashing cultural boundaries and expectations regarding romance and relationships, or the internalised prejudices of one or more in the couple coming to light. That would be incredibly realistic for Rayllum and it's something I've never seen explored much in media. It would also force us to confront the prejudices we might have towards the people we care about and how we might unintentionally upset them.
    I'm also kinda hoping that Rayla tries to find her parents' coins and free them, which is how she discovers that Viren is alive. To get revenge on her for "killing" him, he traps her in a coin and then it's up to Callum to rescue her and her family. That would be a suspenseful angst plot right there driven by Rayllum's existing relationship, and then Callum would be forced to confront Rayllum's parents who have all had nasty encounters with humans. They all know his stepfather killed Avizandum and was close to their captor. And then there's the whole tension between Runaan and Callum because Runaan killed his stepfather. There's so much potential!

      Tbh, i dont think Runaan killed Harrow. Ive been a firm believer that Viren did it before the assassins could due to how tense the situation was at the time. Harrow didnt want to take the easy way out and wanted to end the cycle of revenge.
      Viren however wanted war to happen. Can only speculate now but hopefully the future seasons will build on it.

      We get a new "season" roughly every 6 months, the exception being 4, but I read somewhere that the delay is due to covid, so i find it easier to think of them as 1/3 seasons. We get a full season every year and a half, and the creators are simply rolling them out as they make them. I realize that this doesnt make much sense from several angles, but it helps me keep interest in the show over its long breaks

      You already see the first steps in litteraly s2e1 when Callum writes to King Harrow describing Raylla. Then throughout the season you see Raylla supporting him and growing closer ultimatly culminating in the "You cant leave you mean too much to me". Furthermore removing Essra from the trio at the end of s2 means they only have each other going forward which naturally spark the fire between them and made them come together.
      By far one of the strongest romances I've seen. Especially when compared to ATLA which is one of the weaker aspect of that great show

      I don't want it to come to that, but at the same time we don't need a perfect relationship like a Disney princess, that is what makes people start to hate series, and this has such good potential, it would be sad if the creators wasted it, and if you think about it, their relationship can make or break the series, since now that its into the light, the show will be more focused on it, and the events have to match them, so I think that if there is no hardships to their relationship, then the show loses that realness and dramatic affect it used to have, and if it loses it, there is no point in continuing

    What makes Rayllum so great is that is it challenges the usual story of main characters hooking up in the last minute of the show where interpretations of the relationship will be up in the air. With Rayllum happening early, it will set whole new expectations within not only the external obstacles but also how the relationship will affect their respective character development.

It's not even a case of knowledge either, but how to deal with them when they're upset (which we've seen Callum tries to do but can't handle until she opens up) or when to get involved or stay back, or their priorities. These things in and of itself are enough to create a dramatic, but healthy and engaging relationship

But... it wasn't until recently that videos showing "Rayllum" started appearing on UA-cam, and as a sucker for romance, I took a look. The more I looked into it these small bits of a new world, the more interested I became.
    So when I came across your video I once again became curious, as your title asked some of the very questions I pondered myself. You show yourself well informed and experienced with this particular thematic form. I can say that I have come away greatly enlightened.

    Callum wont have to be forced into using dark magic again and heres why.
    Dark magic is like steroids for an athlete. It juices yer system up and you reach yer end goal faster but ironically you never reach yer true potential from it.
    The reason humans are so susceptible to it and cant communicate with the other arcana is because it feeds off the evil in human hearts. Callum however was able to face his demons literally and because he did, he unlocked his true potential.
    He doesnt need the dark magic now as a shortcut because he already feels the other arcana. In the same sense, because viren and claudia have over used it so much, they have been cut off from the arcana for good.
    He cant lose his magic now because the other arcana arent consuming things to exist. They are all around the place even in the human realm.
    He can connect to them anytime he needs to. In a sense, hes become a full resident of xadia just like the elves.
    However im sure there are consequences for him using dark magic. Well just have to wait and see.

      I also wanna point out that in lux when amaya was to be tested, the light deemed her pure and free from corruption so we know dark magic isnt simply good and evil.
      Maybe it feeds off their life force and slowly turns them into something not human. Who knows, maybe callum will be the first mage in history who will be able to combine dark and the other arcanas into a new source of power which could be used by everyone thus ending all conflicts.

And he’s not wrong. The elves and the humans might not accept their love and I would really like to see what they do with that. Cause they love each other, but you don’t want to be casted out of your own species for your intimate relationship.

      I think this sums it up perfectly. Rayla inspired Callum to be a better person, a hero just like herself, and he in turn inspired her to open up and be proud of her acts of kindness and selflessness even if it doesn’t align with her culture’s ways, and it did both of them a lot of good. So, yeah. Rayllum for the win.

    Did the producers say anything about sticking to the 9 episode format? Will they make more than 9? (I hope).
    When the gang finds out that Dark Magic was used to make the humans equal to magical beings would that make it more acceptable to them? To us? (Personally for me yes).
    The reasoning for Pro Dark: Similar to hunting and harvesting animals we take their lives in order to sustain ours (ie. Magma Titan core trades 1 life to save millions). Though it may look gruesome, taking life always is. The elves and dragons are no different for killing humans (several probably since Sol Regem wanted to BURN A TOWN FULL OF CHILDREN!)
    The reason for Anti Dark: It's evil. It corrupts the user. It steals life. (limited for now since it's still not fleshed out). Dark Magic is unnatural and can be an allegory for human industrialization and deforestation/animal cruelty.
    Compromise Theory: Like today we have Parks and Conservation laws for endangered animals. Is it perfect? Heck no! But it keeps those whose population is waning safer and the hunters can still hunt in Open Season if they're moral. Immoral would be Poachers. Scummy Thrill Seekers with no regard for nature.

    Nice video! I found the show slightly clunky in the first couple episodes (which is pretty common with most shows) but it improved quickly. I basically shipped Callum and Rayla from the start because I just tend to do that, but I wouldn’t have been upset if they just remained close, loyal friends, because that’s also a great thing to see. Once they did get together, oh man the feels! I wanna see the show portray how their relationship is viewed by society in general. While those around them are very much for it, I’m sure there will be those against it due to centuries of tension between humans and elves. I can see that causing trouble in their relationship, though not enough to break them apart.

    For all the people that say that this relationship developed too quickly, I feel you just haven't been in that sort of situation before where you end up spending nearly all your time with that person. For me I think this relationship is actually quite realistic as I have been through something similar. When I was 16 I went on an overseas school trip and I hardly knew anyone as none of my friends went on this trip so I ended up spending a lot of time with this girl that I hardly knew before the trip (TBH I originally thought I wouldn't really get along with her at all) but after spending everyday with each other we ended really liking each and ended up dating by the end of the two weeks. In the end we did break up after a while due to me moving and you know how long distance relationships are especially in high school, but that's not the point I am trying to make my point is there is no time limit on how quickly a romantic relationship can develop sometimes it just feels right and that is what I see from this relationship between Callum & Rayla.

Both Viren and Claudia's poor and unethical choices have been the result of Dark magic messing with their thinking. For Callum it might be a subtle change in thought but that change could eventually make a terrible difference.

    A little bit of advice: try to keep your eyes at the center of the recording and keep your cam at the same height level. Being able to look up your nostrils is a bit distracting, and you probably don't want to appear as if you're looking down on the viewer. It would also help if you took a little bit more distance from the camera, but I can understand if the microphone prohibits that. Just consider how you'll be seen. You got a lot of stuff going on with the hat and the shoulder panda, awkward camera angles shouldn't distract from that.

    The directors answered that question. They said that they let the story and it's characters drive the situations. In this case, they were alone by themselves and they already had the romantic tensions so it just came out. If Ez was there it most likely wouldn't have happened. Also, I feel that they might throw in a Claudia wrench in the relationship with 4 more seasons still on the way. Plenty of time for that drama.

    I had these theories in the shower one day:
    Theory 1: Everyone is worried about Rayla dying, but what about Ezran? With those shadow assassin things Viren sent after the other kingdoms, Ezran is at risk because Viren is alive and Viren has the support of Claudia. Viren might kill Ezran for the throne like how he tried to become king when Ezran was in the dungeon. I also have this theory where Viren killed Harrow. I just had that feeling in my gut ever since Harrow's death.
    Theory 2: Rayla's parents are still alive. Think about it, Rayla's parents were most likely sucked into coins like Runaan *or however you spell his name*
    And in Season 3 episode 3, we see that Runaan's flower thing is still barely floating. Rayla's parents must still be alive. Like when Callum did the spell to reveal what happened before like what Lujane did. *sorry for my spelling* The faces were more detailed. How? BECAUSE RAYLA'S PARENTS ARE STILL ALIVE. When Lujane did the spell, the faces on the elves were not as detailed as when Callum did the spell. Note: Lujane said long ago, i think maybe when Xadia was still one land. Which means that all those Elves are probably dead by now. I heard this other theory on Theory Pop about the same thing but it was just Callum using a moon opal.

    I think kataang is developed in a good and matured way from the katara's side (just like the rayla and callum) and not like aang's childish view about katara as a person whom he first saw after 100 years, katara choose aang due to her character arc in the show . Katara always want to protect others as her mother gave her life to protect her , she want to protect anyone whoever she can (like aang ,sokka, toph and even the village in Jang Hui River in the fire nation ) she is always ready to care for anyone and did not made them feel sad and tries to give them her love like a mother as she had lost it after her mother died and her father left.She carries this burden in her life that she was conflict when confront her father she shows her worries that how much she missed his love.And also katara admire the person who had gone through the same kind of pain like her. But her views about the world that took her parents away changes as the series progresses. She was also conflicted about aang during throughout show that he is just her friend who need her care or more than that .We can see that she only sees jet as a true boyfriend in the show (other than aang,she feels sorry for zuko and accept him as the show progresses but she did have the romantic feeling about zuko).Jet is so much like katara , he lost his parent to the fire nation like her ,he protect the people who follows him .Katara admires him at her first sight even considers him has a boyfriend(when sokka says that her boyfriend is messed up she did not react as she did when sokka said aang as her boyfriend in episode the avatar returns).She wants a person in who she sees herself more than her.Since her views changed in the progress of the show that she opens up with her father about her issues with her father and she faces the man who killed her mother her ideas about the love and world is not the way she thinks but she also have some wrong ideas about the way she thinks changes about protecting other with dominating and forcing them (like jet) ,choosing her duty before her loved ones (like hakoda when aang asks about their relationship in the ember island players) and to let go of the anger to the one responsible for the death of her mother, but to make her proud by living with her love for other like her mother . And here we need to see about aang in katara's life, aang was not like jet or zuko who always shows his greatest loss in his life and he was the only person she first sees in a romantic way (not like jet with her views ) in the episode headband ,the fortuneteller she was confused what aang was meant to her, and in the show her confusions grows with aang and not love but it does not say that she did not have feelings for him but she did not know what to do with him.Her relationship between aang grows closer in the first half of the 3rd season.But in the second half of the 3rd season again she was placed is a diffucult position that aang who support her idea once(in helping the villagers of village in Jang Hui River but does not accept her idea of taking revenge on the person who killed her mother (which is much more stronger emotional idea) he rejects her idea and opposes her.When she comes back to aang we know that she cannot take his life the man who killed her mother putting her in position that whether her idea of not doing so is weakness or strength, also makes her question about aang idea of forgiveness seem to be both as a sign of weakness and strenght .This idea of aang not killing the firelord made everyone to laugh but she is the one who truely understands it because of her experience .She does not actively support his idea but she do not either truly rejects it .And Finally when he succeeds she understands that no one is better for her than Aang(both romantic and ideological ) This doesn't mean that i hate zutara , zutara could have happen if zuko joined team avatar in the crossroads of destiny but it would have made zuko redemption arc weaker and i don't want zuko redemption arc to compensate for zutara .

    The best part is that they so easily _could_ have dragged their relationship out till the end, but didn’t. They EASILY could have done the annoying cliche ‘reset’ after Rayla kissed him that you see in SO many other shows (usually anime) where, even after a clear indication of romantic interest, the characters wuss out and pretend it didn’t happen so that they can “keep things the way they are” (gag me). Rayla even did the “we’ll never speak of this again!” thing. But no, Callum, like an actual thinking human being, thought and realized, “hey, if she’s into me too, then I should have a shot” then later kissed her, almost wussed out, but she reciprocates when realizing that the feelings are mutual. A simple logical progression of actions leading into a healthy relationship without any contrivances or melodrama. *chef’s kiss

    Would hope the writers did make this happen so soon only because of fan shipping...that doesn't tend to end so well for how long people still watch or talk about the show after the run is finished. While I agree prolonging the "Will they or Won't they" question can be unreasonably dragged out to long... but doing too soon just feels forced and this is what it feels like. Not much was there to honestly say....other than its kinda of hard to feel surprised at this end result...that the story had enough to say that this is was where it was heading, just not hard to guess and that one outburst. Yes this two were bonding over their common goals and relaying on each other but that doesn't always to romance....at least not that quick. Aang and Katara worked because they focused more on the quest than on their own personal issues other then a few moments here and there, and that was enough that it felt natural when the two finally hocked up at the end....here it just feels forced.....but to each his/her or what ever gender...own.

Keeping this in mind, what kind of fate do you like for them? Aragorn had to say goodbye to Arwen at the end of his life. Lúthien became a mortal woman in order to share the fate of Beren. I still don't know why Tuor was allowed to be an immortal, and live with Idril Celebrindal, but Tuor could never return to the mortal lands of Middle Earth, a restriction similar to that of Oisín in the irish mythology.
