Title: Why Hasn’t Anybody Noticed Beau’s Mag?
Description: Colors, duh...
Mari - February 5, 2006 09:59 PM (GMT)
I was thinking and realized, why hasn’t anybody noticed the color of Beau’s mag burst? As the ‘blue and red’ dragon, his mag blast is still yellow (gold)! Why hasn’t anybody seen it and thought ‘Hey, the dragon of legend and Beau both have gold mag bursts.... and then have a REALLY similar body... perhaps the dragon of legend can change color!!’ Or... something along those lines...
Here we clearly see mag burst colors:

We see here green, red, blue, gold, black, light blue... what's going on here?!
Can people even see the colors; are they just stupid, or WHAT THE SHANEINEI IS GOING ON?!?!?!?

Maybe they can't see it.
I want people to figure it out or at least get suspicious because Beau is using all diffrent sorts of gear

I've been wondering that myself. ._.'
You'd think SOMEONE would go "Hey, that dragon has a gold mag.....hmmmmm"
>.<

I don't think they were expecting the age group this show was aimed at to go picking it apart.
What my question is is if they follow the best gear matches listed in the official website's crew pages, what was Hyve doing using red side bending? He shouldn't be able to! (No offense, it's great that Hyve's able to use all gear colors too. :rolleyes: )

Nah, I think this is how it works.
All dragons can use any type of ger, but cant have 2 of some types of gear on at once.
Cepheus - February 5, 2006 11:12 PM (GMT)
Makes sense, but the way they say it in "The Choosing Part I" it sounds as if there's a limit on the colors of draconium usable by certain colors. Okay, I'm officially confusing myself.
the power of ICE - February 5, 2006 11:15 PM (GMT)
Yeah, but look at Beau in the first eppie.
He has white, red, and green gear on.
And that one racer points it out.
So thats why I say that.
Cepheus - February 5, 2006 11:17 PM (GMT)
It could also be the combinations. Like red, green, and white gear all used together will short eachother out?

Yeah, but thats because Beau can use all gear types fully. Any dragon can use any gear, but they're going to have a lot more trouble using it if its not one of their compatible colors. I think this is because all dragons have a little bit of all of the mag color energies in them, and for colors that are not primary or secondary to them, they have very little energy, and so it is much harder to maintain gears of such and such color.
I've also notice Beau's mag color, and simply chalked it up to inconsistancy and the major selective ignorance of cartoon characters. Plus, I always thought that red+blue Beau was supposed to look like a white bone dragon (before we saw that dragon winds pic), and yellow is close enough to white I suppose.

Yeah, if it's not in their primary/secondaries they cant aim/not as powerfull.etc
Cepheus - February 5, 2006 11:27 PM (GMT)
Okay, I've got some more ideas.
- #1: Maybe other racers know that Artha's father bred the black and gold dragon of legend, so maybe they think that Beau's related to the dragon of legend somehow? (Third cousin twice removed.)
- #2: Word only wants his own dragon of legend, so maybe a plain old gold dragon doesn't really matter, it has to be the original dragon of legend's reincarnate.
- #3: Or people just plain flat out don't care about mag colors.

LOL!
I like the 3rd one the best. :lol:
The Furox - February 5, 2006 11:40 PM (GMT)
Yeah, people should have noticed Beau's mag energy color by now (along with his body profile). :) I think we'll just have to chalk that up to dramatic license on the part of the writers who have given all the characters blind spots when it comes to noticing things like that.

Yes, that's the way Rob described it. Any dragon can potentially use any gear, just not very well. In some cases, a particular dragon's ability to use a certain gear color is so poor that they just don't bother trying in the first place. Though the writers seem to bend this rule quite a bit as well. ;)
Cepheus - February 5, 2006 11:47 PM (GMT)
My new question is why did that dude in "The Chooing Part I" say something like, "A dragon that uses all gear colors? No dragon can do that!" Is that just his way of saying, "What's the point of putting all this gear on him? One of them is bound to not work very well on him."

I think that's probably it. Plus it's also a quick way to communicate to the audience that Beau is special.
Kereea - February 6, 2006 12:27 AM (GMT)
No offense, but it's like this:
They couldn't build a boatt on Gulliver's island because it would end the seires.
Nobody finds about Timmy's fairy godparents beacause it would end the series.
Pikachu never truly gets stolen and handed over because it would end the series.
See what I mean?
phsycopathicdragon - February 6, 2006 03:16 AM (GMT)
NO, its IMPOSSIBLE to connect Beau in his blue/red form to his gold form, because in his gold form he has those FIN THINGS! VERY different! (said in a REALLY sarcastic voice)

Yes, common cartoon physics, but they COULD notice and become suspicious. It would make the common cartoon physics more interesting. :)

:lol: Or it's just the law of cartoons.
I think Furox was the one who wondered about Beau's shape and size, and a couple of us realized that in Mortis' Dragon Cave/Temple, the cave they're in has a head carving thingabob or whatchamaccalit similar to Beau's. This must mean that practically all gold dragons should look like such, which doesn't seem to tie in since Tyrannis Pax is a gold dragon...:wacko:
The Furox - February 6, 2006 07:27 AM (GMT)
Is Tyrannis Pax really stated as being gold? (I haven't seen part 2 yet.) If so, then apparently he isn't a "dragon of legend" for some reason since if he was, Connor wouldn't have had to breed Beau. So for whatever reason, T. Pax isn't the one destined to stop the war.
But yeah, the fact that the temple is shaped like Beau's head sort of implies that there's a known shape to a gold dragon of legend.
And I think it's just the usual rule about characters not noticing the obvious. I mean, Superman is able to disguise himself as Clark Kent and fool everyone just by putting on a business suit and a pair of glasses. :rolleyes: Beau changing his colors is certainly analogous to that. Apparently, the idea of a dragon that can change its color is so far fetched, that no one considers it. Though Moordryd should probably start thinking about it since Decepshun can now change as well...
Mari - February 12, 2006 02:19 PM (GMT)
I'm just saying why nobody noticed Beau's mag stream is gold... Man people in Dragon City could be seriously stupid...
Norizo - February 12, 2006 06:29 PM (GMT)
Actually, the reason might be that, to the characters, the mag streams have no colours. The colours may be an add-in for the audience (like the ghostly outline of the cloaked wraiths when in reality they should be comletely invisible) and are therefore not visible to the characters.
Mari - February 12, 2006 06:37 PM (GMT)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH... touche... Good point there, Norizo. It does make sense, but perhaps the wraith dragons can be seen by the characters when they're partially visible. We SOOO need to ask Magna Draconis if he gets on soon. :D

acttually, those gears were white, red and blue.
there was;
level 6 white aero
level 5 blue balance
and level 5 red thruster.
you have a good point, Norizo. but if no-one couldn't see the mag streams, then how would they be able to dodge them so well. Moordryd did see Beau power up for a mag burst in the first episode. plus, with the way that many of the characters are always dodging mag burst and mag streams and things, for example Mortis and Drakkus escaping the mug-fury in battle for the ages. And, well, you get the idea. my point is, you would think they would be able to see them coming to be able to avoid or block or what ever.
maybe no-one has really noticed beau's stream colour because they are more occupied with what they are acttually doing with the mag energy. with all the techniques and attacks. i mean, if someone was mag blasting you, would you be thinking 'hey that dragon has a (whatever colour) mag stream.' no, more likely you would be thinking of not being hit. do you see my point. when you're being attacked or watching someone make a cool move, you're not really thinking about things like colour. you have other things on your mind.
Elushun - July 23, 2007 03:15 AM (GMT)
You're all overthinking this. No one suspects him because Artha is waaaaay too under the radar. To most characters, the idea that Artha is Dragon Booster is to rediculous to entertain for even a moment. In When Darkness Falls, Moordryd laughs out loud :lol: at the idea of Artha playing hero. That would be like saying Paris Hilton moonlights as a chess champion. It doesn't matter what kind of evidence you build, no one's going to believe it just because of who she is.
The Furox - July 23, 2007 04:00 AM (GMT)
That's possibly part of it, but over-thinking and over-analyzing things is pretty much what fandoms are all about. :P
I'm still inclined to say it's dramatic license on the part of the writers. It doesn't quite make sense for people not to notice the color of Beau's mag energy, especially since we know they can see it since we've seen people dodging mag blasts. But having the mag energy be visible in the animation just plain looks good. It would be hokey, not to mention confusing, if mag energy was invisible like The Force in Star Wars. Having The Force be invisible seems to work OK in live action like that, but animation is a different medium and sometimes things need to be portrayed a bit differently for best effect. Plus it also makes it really clear which dragon is sending out which mag burst during fights.
Maybe someone will ask The Magna Draconius this question next time (hint, hint). :)

i have been thinkin and i thought well maby the people just thik that dragons are animals with no emotion. just dum animals[ which is untrue <_< ] but they dont care for the mag color or the shape of the body. just about racing and battling and winning.
Astrala - July 30, 2007 11:05 PM (GMT)
interesting thoughs, black and gold dragon.
guess that is one of the problems. one that will desperately need solving if a war is to be prevented.

I agree with Astrala, I mean they dodge the mag streams and some humans are able to fight using mag claw technique, so they have to be visible.
But the second half of your post I kind of don't agree with. Wouldn't you think that if there were people who weren't into racing and got dragged along by a friend or something (wow. I am being very sespefic) would lean over to their buddy and say " Hey look at that dude there, his dragon has a gold mag stream!"
black and gold dragon - August 1, 2007 04:40 PM (GMT)
maby moordryde and word are dum animals i mean with the way they are. youd think hey dragons are smarter.lol
Deathshallcome - August 3, 2007 04:40 PM (GMT)
There is a high possiblity that dragons are smarter then humans. They might have been around longer then humans but we would never know that but that is going off topic lets get back to the topic shall we?
