[@kilroy987]

The show had been on long enough, and the characters developed well enough to deepen things. It wasn't I think just about trying to introduce more adult themes, but represented a confidence and growth in the show as a whole. They knew we loved the characters. I really appreciated the quality of this cartoon provided to us for free on a Saturday morning. This episode, The Dragon's Graveyard and Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn ring as my favorites. It exuded quality without being shoved in our faces.

after presto's powers were amplified in the dragon's grave yard

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

Frank Kepler true, but Venger was an experienced necromancer/warlock/whatever you call it, and Presto was still an unexperienced teenager in a strange world. If anything it leveled the playing field.

[@darktrooper2099]

Precisely

[@veng3r663]

What's ironic aside from the obvious potential for power that Presto has is next to him it should be Sheila. I mean seriously if she'd start dual-wielding daggers in combination WITH invisibility then she COULD become a real terror...

[@blackviper7797]

Gotta to agree with Frank. The graveyard boosted the power of the kids tremendously. Also, Venger was facing the whole gang, not just Presto

Venger saw he couldn't pass using magic or brute force so he used the power of science, using the principle of thermal expansion with Demodragon's fire and ice breath, to weaken and break the doors. Honestly, great thinking.

I loved watching these as a kid. Always wanted to know if they ever do find their way home...and what would they be doing TODAY in 2018

[@Pynaegan]

If I thought they would do it "right", I'd go see a movie about them all grown up in the real world with their families. And their kids get sucked into *the realm* and they have to "revisit" the realm to rescue them! In the final "unaired" script, they had the choice of going home or staying in the realm.

Of all the bad Guys of Bad Guys, Venger was very respectful, blunt, and never ever went back on his allies. He was shady as all get out, but always fulfilled his word, then he would say" Now I have kept my word back to goals of conquest give it to me or else!" He cared in his psycho power hungry way like when DM was captured he was "I see you live "Old One" translation "Dad you can not let some hack defeat you, you have to live to see me surpass you and take control of the realm Daddy!" he was a villain that proved you could be bad and still have manners!

[@TitoTheThird]

And he had a sister who turned to the Dark Side as well. Something about the parental skills of DM? :)

[@karenlacey4549]

@@TitoTheThird I believe Venger and his sister thought Dungeon Master didn't wield his power to demonstrate his strength enough. Both of his children knew he as an extremely powerful being, yet saw his choice to wield his power only when necessary may have seemed odd, as this is a magical realm. This poses several questions If you have magic, how and why do you use it, additionally does not an ability to use magic suggest, that magic exists to be used and used well ? DM choose to rule with reserve, wit and power rather than power alone others may view this as a flaw. Dungeon Master never used magic for mundane purposes, which suggests he knew not to follow into the trap of depending on magic for challenges he can solve without magic. I notice both his children had this attribute in common with him. Dungeon Master wielded power with wisdom and kindness. His children chose to wield power with skill cunning and ruthlessness. He and his children disagreed on the style of using power and magic. They were different people if you grow up witnessing your father as one of the most powerful magical beings in the realm, you will develop ideas on how to use your own power when you grow into your own abilities. You may agree or disagree with your parent's life at any age.

@Steven Schnepp No you don't actually remember anything of the sort. It simply doesn't exist. The creator says so, and I have all the episodes on DVD. You do realise that memory is fallible, right? There is an episode where the kids briefly make it home, but are pursued into our world by Venger, and are forced to return in order to get him back to The Realm. There was also a final episode scripted where Venger was revealed to be Dungeon Master's son, and where the kids are given the choice to either return home or stay in The Realm.
