Hot Take But I Do Not Enjoy Rayllum. I Still Think Its Relatively Important Story Wise And I Dont At

Hot take but I do not enjoy Rayllum. I still think it’s relatively important story wise and I don’t at all mind it being a canonical relationship, but I dislike how they frequently forego personal character development or depth, specifically for Callum, to hammer in details of a relationship we already knew was inevitably going to be canon.

(SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6)

Like that moment when Callum had to find “his one truth” or whatever. I thought it was going to be Sarai but when it turned out to be Rayla I was kinda disappointed. I feel like there’s so many other avenues that could be explored with Callum’s character that never really get utilized which is ultimately a huge let down.

I want to explore Callum’s grief with being an orphan. The potential jealousy of seeing his partner be reunited with her father, but also the man that made him an orphan. The dilemma he could feel between sympathizing with Aaravos’ story or facing the fact that he is a bad person.

We’re on the second to last season and I’m pretty sure my guy has only mastered two arcanums which is still a feat but also so much less than what I expected. In Avatar: The Last Airbender they did a very good job with balancing the development of everyone’s character, the storyline of Aang mastering the elements, AND showing us the relationship between Aang and Katara to a point that it was solidified it would become canon without it getting in the way of the story.

By the time Dragon Prince is done they would have more episodes than Avatar, but the reason why they could not balance these 3 components despite a writer for Avatar being a writer for tdp is because they paid way too much attention on unnecessary fan service for a ship that, again, we all know will be canon, instead of putting any serious focus on literally anything else of significance.

I love Rayla and Callum individually, I hate the shallowness of their characters as a result of showing a relationship that ultimately is also kind of shallow.
