WILLOW (2022-present)

Everyone ready for an unhinged theory about The Gales from Willow 2022?

So obviously they’re a dark mirror for our protagonists, and they function like a lot of teams of baddies in media– they tie up each character in combat scenes by either having skills that subvert what the heroes are good at, or are simply just better at the same skills the heroes have.

Have a fast and dexterous fighter like Kit? Throw the Scourge at her and it overpowers anything she throws at it. Have a knight commander in full armor? Toss the Lich at him and have it bamf out of existence every time he swings his sword at it.

But I think there’s more to them than being battle foils for the characters. When Elora and Kit are hemmed in by the Gales and Airk, he tells them that the Gales are, “not what you think they are.”

So much of Willow has to do with the past, and choices, visions and alternate futures, recursions and cursed blood. I think that the Gales actually are our heroes, from a time when they gave into the Crone’s temptations.

Spoilers under the cut.

WILLOW | 1.08 “Children of the Wyrm”

thraxusrelaxus

Willow (2022) is a live-action game of D&D

- Willow is the learned old wizard, always giving valuable life lessons and yelling at the others for being too impulsive

- Elora Danan is a true sorcerer, born with her powers

- Thraxus Boorman is a treasure-hunting, sweet-talking rogue-barian who any man, woman, or enby would swoon for (you can tell me to “thraxus relaxus” any day)

- Kit Tanthalos is a noble fighter that basically switches to a paladin with an oath to protect Elora Danan. also she’s gay as hell

- Jade Claymore (c’mon, the name alone) is a paladin with an oath to protect Kit. also she’s gay as hell

- Graydon is the party’s bard, always saying an encouraging word and building their spirits with his magic flute

- the Crone is the first story arc’s BBEG with the Wyrm as the campaign’s overarching BBEG
