Well, I saw this one coming. I found this to be a bad start to another season of Blazing Dragons, and it's much worse than the previous one. Where do I begin with this, oh wait, there are two stories instead of one this time? I wonder how different this episode and this whole season can be.
While in the first segment, A Killer Makeover, the story focuses on Count Geoffrey getting redesigned to make an actual villain. There were a few other issues to go along with it, like in the previous season.
The first issue that I found was an awful donkey joke. This joke had some gross out humor coming from the donkey's odor and with King Allfire saying he can "barley" see it. I found this joke to be unpleasant and unnecessary to be said in this segment, knowing this was a filler scene to add on to the eleven minutes that it needs to air.
There was another bad joke that took place in the same scene as the one that I previously mentioned. This one involves an obesity joke made by Cinder to Queen Griddle. Cinder referred to her as a fat loser, which he could've said something more appropriate and nicer. This was the issue that led Queen Griddle to take up a dance lesson to lose weight, involving Merle the Wizard's disguise.
The last issue I found, that wasn't really an issue, was Merle's disguise. During the scenes with her disguise, she appeared to have an awful odor, almost leaving the dragons to faint. She did make a point of the dragon's weapons, however, by mentioning that the dragons didn't need their weapons during their dance lesson since they may hurt themselves without notice. While the character Merle played may seem likable, she looked like she would have belonged to another cartoon with other people like her.
In the second segment, The Age of Retention, the dragons confront an evil toy maker that makes them do work, not knowing that he plans to take over Castle Camelhot, like Count Geoffrey does. Meanwhile, there were many more issues that I had compared to the previous segment of this episode. From looking at the title, The Age of Retention, this would fit more for an episode of an action cartoon, rock song number or a movie title.
There were many scenes that were deemed unnecessary and could easily be cut out or changed, if it were possible. At the beginning of the segment, Queen Griddle was showing off her swimwear in the middle of a meeting, which I didn't find any purpose for this to be shown for any reason whatsoever. There was also a profanity reference, later in that segment, when Sir Loungelot was referring to himself as an associate strategic supervisor, using with the initials, A. S. S., spelling ass. This was a word that could not be used in a kids cartoon like Blazing Dragons, since profanity is nor permitted. Later that same scene, Flicker mentions that Loungelot rubs his feet on him when they are dirty, which I found to be mean and disrespectful to the other character.
Overall, I knew that this particular episode was going to be much worse than the previous thirteen episodes. I couldn't think of one good thing from watching this episode besides Count Geoffrey's redesign. I believe that in the next episode, it will be just as bad.
