Anti-Love Song: Most love songs on the show generally have a theme of how confusing love is, and how flawed the lovers are, and all the little aches and pains of marriage, but they also generally state that love is, overall, worth it.Bonus point for them not actually telling us how it got up there. Anti-Climax: The pirates say the reason they are stuck on land is a terrible, frightening tale, just to reveal their ship is stuck on some trees on a nearby hill.And Now You Must Marry Me: King Richard kidnapped Madalena and forced her into marrying him, though by the time of the wedding she was okay with it.Stands out in Gal and Izzy's wedding vows:.The pirates are decked out in all the trappings of The Golden Age of Piracy, Jolly Roger and all.Gareth mentions that salty snacks are good for the king's electrolytes.Vikings and Huns actually were a notable presence in the Dark Ages but had both faded into obscurity long before the 13th century.

GALAVANT RICHARD AND TAD COOPER SERIES
Anachronism Stew: The events of series explicitly takes place in the year 1256 and it generally fits visually, but there are many details that are all wrong for that time period.Ambiguously Brown: Isabella lampshades this when she refers to herself as "ethnically hard to pin down." Her actress, Karen David, is of mixed Indian, Chinese, and Jewish descent.Alter Kocker: Everyone in Sid's hometown.By the time they actually get to the bedroom there's an ambush in place. Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: When Galavant convinces Richard to just assassinate Kingsley, Richard loudly announces it to the whole pub, and they both then walk the castle drunkenly singing about it.The Alcoholic: Galavant after Madalena dropped him.The DEL in the finale is a fashion consultant. Agent Peacock: Chester Wormwood is a wedding planner.Affectionate Parody: Of fairy tales and musicals, somewhat along the lines of Spamalot or Once Upon a Mattress.Action Figure Justification: Galavant appreciates Sid's honesty about being "a late sleeper and a lover of dolls.".

This ends up being completely true Madalena while married to Richard belittles all his attempts and treats him like garbage. Accidental Truth: Galavant when attempting to stop Richard and Madalena's wedding tells Richard that he may offer all the riches and power, but he will never win Madalena's heart.By the end of the first season, he's back to his old level of skill. So much so that, even after becoming a Broken Ace, his former reputation is still strong enough to bring him some measure of respect. The Ace: Galavant, prior to the end of the opening, was a grand hero who excelled at being tough and "every other manly value".Alan Menken says that he isn't done with the project, however, and hopes to be able to find another home for it, even hinting at a possible run on Broadway. That said it still ended with something of a Sequel Hook, as well as some more subtle hints at potential plot/character arcs that would be present in a third season.īut alas, the show's luck ran out and it wasn't renewed for a third season. The second season resolved many of the plot threads that had been Left Hanging at the end of the first, as well as a number of new conflicts that arose during the course of the season. Surprisingly-despite mediocre ratings and the show's own narrator thinking it unlikely-the show was picked up for a second season, which began airing January 3, 2016. Along the way are laughs, epic battles, and songs. So it falls to Isabella and Galavant's squire Sidney to try and inspire him to take up the quest to save Valencia and once again become the hero he was meant to be. There's just one problem Galavant has spent the last year or so doing nothing but drinking and becoming a sour and depressed shut-in, so he's not really up for playing the hero. Her kingdom has come under attack by Richard, and she wants Galavant to liberate it. About a year later, a despondent Galavant is approached by Isabella, the princess of Valencia. However, when Galavant attempted to rescue her, Madalena chose to marry Richard for the fame and fortune instead of returning to Galavant. The series follows the exploits of the famous knight Galavant, whose true love Madalena was kidnapped by the evil King Richard. Galavant is a musical-comedy series which first aired on ABC during the 2014/2015 midseason winter break, bridging the gap between season halves of Once Upon a Time.
