Netflix’s Hidden Fantasy Gem Is ‘Tolkien Meets Avatar: The Last Airbender’

The episode explores the Netflix animated series The Dragon Prince, characterizing it as a hidden gem that blends the high-fantasy world-building of J.R.R. Tolkien with the humorous, high-stakes tone of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Although the show boasts a perfect 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the author suggests it often goes overlooked compared to larger live-action franchises like The Witcher.
