![]() ![]() We saw him evolve from a foppish virgin tyrant to the One True King to Unite Them All. Just like Season 1, King Richard is the best part, and with such a great character arc. ![]() Galavant’s father was replaced for season 2, it was really cool that they got to get the same actors that played young Gareth and young King Richard from the first season.Īmazing Season from beginning to end. They even had there own song about it Galavant: This is my moment in the Sun, and Richards song with his inner child. I liked how during the first season it was about Galavant trying to become the hero he used to be and the second season was about King Richard finding his strength and becoming a hero. The meta nature of the show is a huge selling point. The thing that we also love about Galavant is that they know just when to poke fun of themselves and their game, like the magical amulet McGuffin that no one has ever seen before, Neo of Sporin, spoofing various famous musicals and other fantasy movies/literature. Will they come back for a third season? Galavant is a nice, breath of fresh air that puts a smile back on your face, especially since we’ve just come from all the tension and theorizing, and shipping and posting in the forums with Once Upon a Time’s mid-season finale. One of the things we love to look for are Easter Eggs and one of the most enjoyable things was looking at Chester Wormwood’s To-Do lists for the Wedding Plans and the Evil Plans. It didn’t start only in season 2, but was in the dungeon in season 1. The foundation for Madalena and Gareth’s relationship even was set in season 1. Also in the first season, King Richard was stressing about what words he was going to say when he caught Galavant and he settled on, “Well, well, well”, which is what he ended up saying to the wedding planner as well. In the first season, there was scene where Sid threw the sword to Galavant, which also happened in season 2, and killed Galavant. seen both seasons 1 and 2, we noticed certain pop culture references and a lot of little parallels. I thought they would just find away to save Galavant before he died. – I really did not expect a sing a long with Death, I didn’t expect that. “Today We Rise” is also a favorite, which is a combination of irony in Sid’s song as he was rallying the villagers and the peasants to rise up and fight against the castle. We liked how they used the clichés during many of the songs, like in “My Dragon Pal and Me”, they used the cliché things like dancing with the one you love and singing a little song from the 80s.Īnother song that got stuck in our head was “Only Good Dreams,” which was sung by Sid to help Gareth fall asleep. Speaking of tunes getting stuck in our heads, some of our favorite songs this season were “A New Season”, the song that opened the show this season we also really liked “Off With His Shirt”, the song that was sung in the Enchanted Forest bar “Giants vs Dwarves” the Galavant Recap song in the finale But one of our absolute favorites is My Dragon Pal and Me, which was sung by King Richard to Tad Cooper, who is a dragon. It’s fun, with great music and a lot of tunes that will get stuck in your head. ![]() Plus, you don’t have to be a Once Upon a Time fan to watch Galavant. ![]() We were a little confused on a couple of things, but after re-watching season 1, a lot of things were explained and carried over, which was cool because it helped going into the new season, making it easier to catch up to season 2. It seemed like the 2nd season was a little bit more edgy on some of their humor and some of the things that they had in their storyline, so if you have a younger children who are interested in watching the series, you might want to watch it first before letting them see Galavant season 2. However, the 2nd season wasn’t as family-friendly as Galavant season 1 was. There are even some little nods to Once Upon a Time, but also plenty of references to other pop culture stuff. It was very much what the president of ABC once called it, which is a mix between the Princess Bride and a musical, which is exactly what Galavant is the humor of The Princess Bride, the fun music, and Alan Menkin has done an incredible job of composing the music for this. They don’t take it too seriously, yet really invested in the characters and the story.
