Ok my first reaction was I didn’t like how the dragons disobeyed their riders like that, but after thinking about it I think it’s kinda brilliant when it comes to the behaviors of dragons.
First, both Arrax and Luke were really young and had absolutely zero combat experience. As soon as they saw Vhagar, it’s very obvious they simultaneously became a lot more tense. Then after Luke had his encounter with Aemond and left you can see Arrax looking in the direction of where Vhagar was in clear distress and Luke does the same thing before mounting. Luke realized their anxiety was high and he did his best to calm Arrax down before taking flight, but that all went out the window as soon as Vhagar gave chase. Now you have a child and a very young and small dragon that are bonded together in a very scary situation: being chased down by a behemoth in the middle of a raging storm (poor Arrax was flapping his wings as hard as he could) I personally think Arrax went on the offense to try and protect both himself and Luke, if only to give them a chance to escape. Both of them did the best they could.
Then you have Vhagar, an extremely old, massive, experienced dragon that is bonded to an inexperienced rider who is feeling a lot of unhinged rage and resentment. They were flying in attack maneuvers ffs I doubt she thought it was a game. And then this little dragon has the audacity to breathe fire in her face. Of course she’s not going to deal with that shit, as utterly tragic as her response is.
At the end of the day, dragons are not mindless war machines that will obey every command. They’re very powerful animals. No matter how trained or bonded with their owners they are, very powerful animals can and will do what they want.

main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:
the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

Today, for the 100th time, we learn that the internet will take anything personal and turn it into an argument
reading comprehension goes out the window sometimes

there's anon hate that makes you go "lol somebody's mad online huh 😏" and then there's anon hate that's like. i don't understand what could possibly have motivated you to want to subject any human being to this level of malicious cruelty, and not only i am incredibly grateful for that, but i hope that i never will, and that nobody else on earth is ever unfortunate enough to witness the utterly appalling capacity for cowardice and hatred you carry in your soul, because holy fucking shit dude.

zam not understanding(/being willing to understand in that moment) why mapicc would be upset about him giving the blessing to minute is so awesome to me because i think zam does take mapicc/mapicc's loyalty for granted & i'm glad this actually has to come to a head. they are a little fundamentally mismatched in this department, i don't think zam has a very intuitive understanding of how loyalty works or what is expected of people in that scenario, it always feels like he has to force it when his natural inclination is to put his own needs first. i love this about him

Can't even be on TikTok..
Again, let's look at the full picture of how it was a chain reaction that was bound to happen when everyone bunches up like that when you should've taken the corner as you previously did under the safety car so Lance has some fault but it's literally not entirely his and yeah..
Also, Lance locked up because he desperately tried to brake so he did use his brake ^^ His tyres weren't allowing him to brake because of the lockup ^^

Since this DLC seems to be exploring Kratos's past and conquering it, I wonder if we'll get a Boat Captain reference or even an appearance!!! Omg!!! What if we get a Boat Captain boss fight??? That would be hilarious!!!
