[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8908399, member: 58416"] 1) Possibly. Though, it's hard to say because the show didn't seem to know which direction it was going for the first few episodes. 2) It's not just that one situation. As I said, even the typical Disney movie princess is shown to have some value. (See also #4) 3) I did. But that's missing the point of why I said what I said. Upthread, I mentioned that the Worm juice was used to help brainwash him. But that's also a very different thing than being fed a certain narrative and having it ingrained in you as "good" from a young age. 4) Yes, the book versions are different. Usually, those versions have deeper allegorical meaning. That would have some relevance to my comments about what the message accompanying the evolution of the character -or the failed attempt to evolve- says to an audience. 5) If that can be extrapolated from what has been said to be limited on-screen information, I would posit that the things I've brought forward are equally as valuable to weigh. In particular, he's shown to have some motivation to evolve beyond the boyish prince and become something more when given the opportunity. Why is he deemed less worthy of a happy ending than Jade, Kit, and Elora? Again, I'm not saying that the Crone isn't evil (though the show does and also illustrates that Tir Asleen has a history of unfairly categorizing certain people as bad or evil, like the Bone Reavers). What I am saying is that I have questions about how the being "rescued" looks from Prince Airk's perspective. How will it look when he sees that Graydon now occupies a position which may have been his? [/QUOTE]
