Netflix Retrospective - Dragons: Race to the Edge Season 3 episodes 10-13

Alright, let’s finish this series, shall we?

Netflix Retrospective - Dragons: Race to the Edge Season 3 episodes 7-9

Much like the first half of the second season of Race to the Edge, very little in terms of plot progression happens, I understand the need to do one-and-done type episodes for syndicated television but with Neflix sharing the budget, you’d figure they could try for some more long term stuff too.

The first 3 episodes of the season were fine, but episodes 2-3 were more akin to filler episodes, let’s take a look at how things progress in the next 3 episodes

Praise4Media #65 - How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

The adventures of Hiccup and his crew come to an end, it’s time to explore the Hidden World.

I have enjoyed both of the first two How to Train Your Dragon Films, and I’m continuing to offer my retrospective on the Race to the Edge series, which exemplifies both the best and the worst of the film’s writing. But will the final film stick the landing? Let’s take a look.

It’s been a while since we last checked in with hiccup and the gang, and with May also bringing my How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World review, it’s as good a time as any to take another look at race to the edge.

Right, we’re back with Dragons: Race to the Edge with season 2 or as I prefer to call it season 1 part 2, because this clearly was a 26-episode season cut into 2 when it was pitched to Netflix. Season 1 delivered on some creative world-building and had an interesting main antagonist, who continues into this season. How does season 2 stack up? Let’s take a look

How to Train Your Dragon has been a great success for Dreamworks and whilst the latest film is to bring the film trilogy to a close, there may still be life for it on Television. Dreamworks’ Dragons began as 2 20-episode series, the first titled Riders of Berk and the second Defenders of Berk. I would have covered these but I don’t have copies of them and they’re not on Netflix, but the follow-up: Race to the Edge is, so we will be covering that. Whilst there are a few story beats that carry over between the series, there’s nothing that makes the show difficult to follow so without further ado, let’s begin this Retrospective on Dragons: Race to the Edge.

Sequel Baiting #9 - How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2

We’re going to end sequel baiting with something a little different. Sequel baiting is a massive time drain, which is why I’ve ultimately decided to cancel it. But I love this franchise and I want to look into their library of TV series at some point, so where better to start than with the 2 movies that have come out. I am aware there’s a third due out next year, which is why this would not normally qualify for the sequel baiting treatment. So, think of it is me combining 2 mini reviews together, patching together my thoughts, with a little compare and contrast. There won’t be categories or scoring on this one, but I hope it’s still relatively clear
