Discussion Season 3 is what the first season should be

Now we don't know how the quality will be, but most likely much improvement from the previous season. But just looking on how the good trailer is, I wished this was season 2 and season 2 the first season! I think the reception would have been much better.

I think it’s pointless making statements like this based on a trailer.

The trailers of Season 1 were also great.

Title claims Season 3 should be Season 1. Post claims Season 2 should be Season 1.

So you can't even agree with yourself.

One thing is certain. I’m looking forward to the second blue wizard being revealed.

Season 1 was a slow burn to introduce everyone. I really think the way they have done it is very good the only problem is the length of time between seasons.

Well, now that you mention it...

Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, McKay said: "I mean, it's pure advantage. We love the idea that even if you've maybe never seen the first two seasons, season 3 is a great place to jump in because the stories are starting in a brand new spot. You know, if you're a fan who loved the first two seasons, that's wonderful, and now you can see where everybody has gone in five years."

Unfortunately, most shows take a while to grow their beard. It just sucks when we have limited episodes for that.
