And so, everyone, I finally managed to finish all of Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6. If you saw last year, you know I did a review for the first five seasons and recently, the sixth and final season released on Netflix. I was of course really excited considering, as I've said, the Dragons franchise is one of my favourite animated franchises of all time. I've reviewed both movies and the three previous shows and I've loved all of them. And in my review of the five previous seasons of this, I said I was really excited for this. And it did not disappoint. Is it perfect? No, there are a couple of episodes that drag and some of the characters and motivations are really clichéd, but, overall, I don't think I could have asked for a better way for this to conclude and lead into How To Train Your Dragon 2. There are so many satisfying moments here for fans, and being a fan myself of this franchise, I loved it. However, there are some things here that are huge plot-holes. I always sorta feel whenever you're making something like this that already has something made that takes place after it, this could be hard because you don't want to make any plot-holes. However, I found a few of those. Also, this review will be spoiler-filled, so, if you want to watch it, go watch it and then read this. So, like I said, it's a great show but it's not perfect. Firstly, the characters. Hiccup is still proving to be a great DreamWorks character and he's really funny here along with some really touching scenes with him. The rest are always great. Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs. Yeah, all of them are still really entertaining. The villains in this are probably the best they've ever been in these Dragons shows. As I said before, Johann, who was in the previous seasons and was revealed in the last season to be the main villain here, is pretty cool and he has a lot of threatening moments. Krogan is pretty cool too and there are so many moments where he's really despicable here. And, finally, Viggo is probably a his best here. And during his last episode where he really does turn good and helps Hiccup and even sacrifices himself, I didn't expect that at all. I liked how he turned good and he had a lot of really great moments here. I love the rest of the supporting cast too and what they do. Dagur, Heather, Mala, the Wingmaidens. All of them. They're all really good here. The animation's, of course, fantastic, as to be expected from DreamWorks. And, everything that could be said about how amazing it is has already been said by everyone from their other works. Not just here. And something this show never ceases to do is create a fun adventure. That's what I want to feel when I watch this show. I wanna feel like this was a fun adventure. And, for the most part, the show does that. I say "for the most part" because, like I also said a second ago, this season isn't perfect, and we're going to get into those issues now. For one, while I said the Wingmaidens are good here, the episode where we see one of them trying to prove herself and trying to do this whole thing her way but it failing was kinda annoying because I've seen this done a lot of times and I've never really thought it was good. It made it seem kinda annoying. Obviously she gets better afterwards, but the episode where she's doing all these stupid decisions is just so clichéd and stupid. Also, I didn't really like episode 11, which was just a clip show episode showing what Hiccup and everyone else would be like if he never met Toothless. It was kinda annoying with these different ideas they were coming up with. However, the last two episodes really pick it back up and are amazing with really exhilarating moments and fantastic tie-ins to the second movies. I liked see the Alpha dragon back with its baby being the one Valka has in the second movie. Speaking of which, I loved seeing her too. We only see her for a few seconds. But it was awesome and I loved the reveal that Krogan was actually working for Drago. Seeing them here was awesome.
I loved seeing them so much that right afterwards, I went to watch the second movie because I just wanted to see the story continue. And the end climax where Hiccup fights Johann was amazing. Especially seeing how he dies, being frozen. And, like I said, there was some things here that really surprised me. Probably the thing that surprised me the most as the very end when they destroy both of the Dragon Eyes. I didn't expect that at all. Though, I guess it makes sense if they're going to tie at least that much in the second movie. Although, remember when I said there's a few plot-holes here? Well, probably the biggest for me is, why aren't Dagur, Heather, the Wingmaidens, Alvin and all those other characters and dragons in the second movie because they're obviously there. So that's really confusing and hopefully they'll show up in the third movie next year. Still though, none of that ruins the show. And just seeing this world explored more with more dragons being introduced with all that being brought in are amazing here and another one of the best parts about the show. I love the expansion of this world with more creatures being shown. I never hated it and it was all interesting to me. I loved it. So, in conclusion, I probably don't need to say this, but, yeah, Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6 is awesome and a great conclusion for this series. I loved it and, while it wasn't perfect, I still had a great time. I can't wait for the last movie to come out next year and this show just helped the expansion of this incredible world. I love the Dragons franchise, and this helped even more to solidify that. So, yeah, I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you like the How To Train Your Dragon movies and this franchise in general. I will definitely satisfy the vast majority of people and I loved it overall. And so, everyone, that's my review of Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6.
