Poor character treatment
djangorflores13 October 2021
Now here are two different segments involving two characters from two different stories. Yet, these were two that were meant to be for another cartoon. I had hopefully that one of these stories would be a good fit for the first season, but it was too late, and I saw them to be much different from the usual season one episodes.

In the first segment, King for a day, King Allfire was hoping to go on an adventure with his dragon knights until Count Geoffrey decided to disguise himself as the king so that he could take one of his recent treasures. However, their day has led to many incidents that they both couldn't handle. King Allfire has been too courteous and fearful of things everywhere he went when he was at the fair. Count Geoffrey's King Allfire disguise had to go through too many dangerous activities hosted by the knights, thinking that Allfire was having a bad day, which was misleading. Having to hear the dragons chant "How dumb is Count Geoffrey?" was very rude, repetitive, and annoying. This was more reckless than an adventurous day for a king.

In the second segment, Erik the Well Read, while the story focuses on a sailor named Erik the Well Read, all the present characters were mean spirited, even towards Erik. Loungelot was the one being the meanest spirited to Erik throughout the episode. Even Loungelot was getting bad treatment from the other characters when they were laughing at his broken leg from the quest he took on, at the beginning of the episode. Not only that, Count Geoffrey was being very bratty when it came to finding treasure since that is what he has always wanted in the entire series, besides taking over Camelhot.

Overall, there was a lot of bad treatment from the two title characters of both series. I can't imagine if there were to do the same thing to another main character from this season, but it could be likely. I didn't even care for the character, Erik the Well Read, which, I thought, could have belonged to another cartoon from the 90s or another decade. Furthermore, I also thought that this could be a better episode than the last one, but still no chance of it.
