With Ezran's parents dead, people expected more of her being a mother-figure to him and Callum - and even to Rayla, who senses a kindred warrior spirit in Amaya. The Dragon Prince is an American animated fantasy-adventure television series created for Netflix by Aaron Ehasz (a head writer and director of Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Justin Richmond, two of the co-founders of Wonderstorm. croaks panting Ezran Previously on The Dragon Prince. Rayla returns home to an alarming discovery, the Sunfire elves decide Amayas fate, and Claudia confronts her father. RELATED: Aaron Ehasz, Justin Richmond & Giancarlo Volpe Interview: The Dragon Princeįans complained about this last season as they know she's one of the greatest figures on the series - something hinted at since day one. The Dragon Prince (2018): Season 3, Episode 3 - Ghost - full transcript. By reducing her agency, she really feels trivial. Instead, she's just there to decorate Ezran's life as a bodyguard, or, when the going gets tough, as some sort of deus ex machina at Xadia. It's disappointing because she was one of his biggest critics, staunchly opposing his methods since the show started, so by not giving her any interactions with him, the Sunfire queen or Jaina for that matter, Amaya comes off like nothing more than a forgotten prop. Similarly, when Viren appears to steal the Sunforge power, he doesn't have that much to do with Amaya, either. Not to mention she’s mute, so sign language is important in her life! Anyway, she’s such a wonderful character for deaf representation.Janai's elves could have learned so much from Amaya and vice versa. By Alex Barasch Sep 21, 2018, 12:51pm EDT General Amaya (center) with her interpreter, Commander Gren (left), and Prince Callum (right). Also, her shield is not something we can expect as a deadly weapon! We can understand what she expresses for many things without any translation. We know she is both a big hugger and a badass armored warrior with a big shield. ![]() Through that, she’s already her own character with a personality and fighting style. ![]() Thankfully, It is not unusual in the fantasy world. I mean, It is well presented without any fussy detail like a tragedy. Repeat, she’s a freaking general for the royal! Importantly, her deafness is not a central attention. Seriously, we finally have a 3D deaf character in 2018!! Amaya the deaf general is not a guest character. Perfect, strong, enduring, compassionate and I am really sorry big sister, I have failed you. S1: EP 5 GRAVE SCENE: Amaya looks up at the statue of Queen Sarai. Lets take a moment to learn about body language and how. Not to mention it can be expensive or time-consuming. Translation of Amaya’s signing in The Dragon Prince I am Deaf and a fluent ASL signer. Lets SignSign language is a beautiful language that demonstrates the importance of body language. Animating sign language in either 3D or 2D is so difficult. Seriously, it is something we don’t see every day. All they have to do is land a single hit on her. I could go on with the list, but let’s come back with the Dragon Prince. Every year on her birthday, General Amaya assembles the entire Standing Battalion to participate in a melee for the opportunity to win a promotion. Yes, I’m aware of the Little Mermaid episode with a deaf mermaid too. ) Its a pity they only translate that bit. I went back and watched all the untranslated SL scenes with the 'Audio Description' audio track selected in Netflix. However, there are very few 2D animated features in the world like Gangsta and A Silent Voice. Thats a nice translation, If only slightly different from the official one. ![]() Oh wait, is the show the first 3D animated TV series with a deaf character and sign language?! From my research, I didn’t find anything like that. General Amaya Translation Hi yall, I just started watching the Dragon Prince for the first time. Anyway, I can say ASL is so accurate in the show. Also the “what” sign with a twisted W to T, which was not necessary. At least, I feel so proud of reading so many of Amaya’s signs. Especially as a deaf person! Honestly, the frame rate is a bit annoying for reading ASL. However, when a mermaid named Janai finds herself risking it all to save the life of a human, General Amaya of Katolis, the fate of her entire world is in jeopardy. Wow, I love the cartoon a lot! Oh gosh, I’m so excited for the deaf character and ASL in the fantasy world with elves and magic. Amaya (The Dragon Prince) Janai (The Dragon Prince) Khessa (The Dragon Prince) Callum (The Dragon Prince) Ezran (The Dragon Prince) Gren (The Dragon Prince). I just finished watching the Dragon Prince. ![]()
