So we close on Riker demanding the trollbabies GET. THAT. AMULET.
It’s unfortunate that the only characters who were given, y’know, characterization were the two dudes. Fire Elf, Blue Elf, and Purple Elf– our lady elves– had no personality. (Neither did Emily, but I give her some leeway for being our Everygirl Audience Surrogate.) And while Green Elf delighted me and was a high point in this first episode, this show is for girls.
Purple Elf is the one that has Air powers, and I got the sense that she might be a LITTLE bit of an airhead now and then– she could easily have taken some screen time to fill the comic relief role that Green Elf currently occupies.
Apart from their powers, though, Fire, Blue, and Purple are virtually indistinguishable. Dialogue could be swapped around between the three of them and you wouldn’t know the difference. And that’s a bummer.
