The small "kill me" oh he's SO done

in your early 20s you are going to watch a show that got canceled after 2 seasons. it's very important that you watch this show and make complaining about it never getting the 3rd season it deserved a core piece of your personality.

I'm generally of the opinion that trying to resurrect prematurely cancelled shows is like necromancy—odds are they'll come back wrong.

Except for Galavant. Any Galavant revivial will be funnier the longer it stayed cancelled.

my ideal Galavant revival s3 of course starts with the main cast all being resurrected by some sort of necromantic cult, then traveling the Seven Realms under attack by zombies and monsters to assemble the Super Magical Weapon of Good from its component parts to defeat/rescue Madelena, now a powerful dark sorceress. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, Isabella is pregnant.

Not the whole time. Obviously she goes into labor right before the climactic battle, then fights it with the newborn infant in one arm. Maybe hands it to Galavant for a moment so they have to trade off who's wielding one- vs two-handed.

Her pregnancy is partly played for laughs, because no self-respecting comedy writer is going to skip jokes about cravings, mood swings, the infinite struggles of back pain...

But moreover, Izzy has a compelling character arc about her current and incipient struggle to maintain her sense of self as a (retired) warrior princess versus a mother. She literally can't fight as well while pregnant, and it's arguably irresponsible to throw herself into battle the same way - and that's going to be her whole future? The rest of her life, no longer a svelte young romantic lead but a doting mother or, at best, nagging wife?

Galavant is also having his own anxious pre-parenthood arc, mostly about "oh god I don't want to be a shitty absent father like my dad. he's my only role model! yeah, he turned out okay later, but not when he was raising me!"

These issues collide in Galavant trying really hard to care for Isabella, protect her, help her on and off horses, etc - partly because he's correcting to overprotective and treating her like spun glass (she accuses), but also because he, y'know, loves her and their unborn child, and wants them to be protected, comfortable, and loved…

They are both being dramatic about this all season. It's a driving source of conflict and development...

Then in the final 5-10 minutes of the final episode, it's revealed that this is their third, maybe even fourth kid. Isabella's parents have been babysitting the others during this whole adventure. Galavant and Isabella go through this exact same drama every time Isabella is pregnant. Sid knew this, Gareth didn't (despite the fact that those two had been traveling together for much of the time between seasons). TBD anyone else. At least one person says, "Are you KIDDING me?"
