The Stone of Wisdom screw ups
djangorflores24 September 2021
The Stone of Wisdom sounds like an episode with a good plot and characters, but in a show like Blazing Dragons, it seems to have taken the wrong direction. There were many bad things that occurred from the characters from the episode, most particularly the dragon knights, which were the main protagonists.

The characters in this episode have been weak and very unlikable. The voice acting of the Oracle sounds awful because of his deep voice and his lack of passion in convincing the dragons to quest for the stone of wisdom. I understand that the Oracle was coming down with a bad cold, but this was also why his voice might have not fit the role for who he was.

Sir Loungelot has been very bossy, rude, and impatient to the knights including Flicker. At one point, when the dragons were heading over to the shopping mall, Sir Loungelot ate the last mint in front of the rest of the knights. This action made the knights hungrier than when they were first whining about it. Anytime Flicker would read something that he believed to be important, Sir Loungelot would aggressively push him to the side so that he could read himself instead of listening to what Flicker had to say to the rest of the group. Throughout the quest, Sir Loungelot would make negative comments to himself about his experience, mostly at the start of the first obstacle. Sir Loungelot was acting like a wimp when he was crying about being alone with Flicker on the floor where the Stone of Wisdom was, which was annoying and childish. When Loungelot climbed to the top where the Stone of Wisdom was located, he acted like he was king of the world or a Disney villain.

The obstacles from the quest felt quite harmless in reality, but knights treated them as threats. The spinning doors are usually slow and controlled when passing by, but they appeared to be faster, probably because of a few technical problems unknown. The escalator was also harmless, whether it was going up or down, but Sir Hotbreath was not strong enough to make it to the top of the second floor, since he probably wanted to be disqualified. Sir Burnevere could've gone on the elevator with Loungelot and Flicker, but he either couldn't run fast enough or with the two. In the near end of the quest, which was when the Stone of Wisdom came down rolling, it appears to me that Sir Galahot (the spinning door victim), Sir Hotbreath (the escalator victim), and Sir Burnevere (the elevator victim) weren't completely defeated as they have partially survived when they reunited with each other during the chase. It felt as fake as a kiddie ride at an amusement park.

Overall, this has got to be one of the worst quest episodes that I have ever seen in a cartoon. This was a waste of time watching it. This episode in particular would've been a lot better if the following happened: there were better obstacles, the characters would take their quest more seriously, the voice of the oracle would sound better, maybe Sir Loungelot could be a little respectful to the knights, and could suit for some other cartoon. I was hoping to get a real adventure from this show, but not like this.
