Bad humanoid interpretations
djangorflores16 October 2021
When it comes to isles and ice, the dragon knights are willing to make bad interpretations of humanoid characters that people may remember. Not only that, the dragon knights have brought in modern pop culture references that came after the medieval times, which ruins the entire concept of that era. Loungelot also insults the characters in both segments, most particularly to the monks in The Isle of Dwight, Jack Frost, and of course Flicker.

The other issues I encountered were the surf references and a bad interpretation of Jack Frost. The surf references included modern day, American surfers in a medieval setting, which is not a good fit for the cartoon given that it takes place before the twentieth century. And yet, the knights engage in that activity at the near end of the segment.

As for Jack Frost's interpretation, he has been very mean spirited towards Sir Loungelot, especially because Loungelot scammed him upon entry. Jack Frost also has a bad character design and voice, which I find to be the most unlikable character trait about him.

Overall, I knew that at some point that this show would implement modern-day pop culture references in at least one of their segments. A cartoon adaptation of an age-old story like the King Arthur tales would stay true to original source material and the period it was in. I understand that other cartoons like the ones from Disney and Warner Bros. Do something like that so that they can cater a good audience. Furthermore, noting that the show took place in the pre-twentieth century and was released in the late 1990s. I just was not comfortable with these references in this show.
