History DarthWiki / TheDragonTamersSaga

* CompleteMonster: The head of the CIA tortures one of the dragon tamers before he knows about his powers and threatens to send him to Guantanamo Bay unless he reveals his true powers. He nearly goes through with his threat, but [[BigDamnHeroes the second dragon tamer is rescued by the first of the dragon tamers, a bunch of criminals from the Chicago underworld and a society sworn to protect them at the last minute.]] Then, he sends a team out to recapture the dragon tamer, kill his rescuers and, if it is impractical to bring him in alive, leathal force is authorised. [[SarcasmMode Sounds like a friendly person, doesn't he?]]

* FridgeLogic: One that stands out is why the first of the dragon tamers didn't fly to a different country on his dragon, instead taking a plane. Justified, when you think about it: where could he hide a dragon in America that would not be examined if the CIA knows about the dragon tamers?

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The idea originally was born as an animated film, with a lot of ShoutOut material towards Creator/{{Dreamworks}} films (and, indeed, was intended to be made by Dreamworks). This idea was scrapped upon realising that there was far too much plot to accurately fill a single film and [[GenreSavvy anything longer than one film has a good chance of being poorly received]] due to {{Sequelitis}}.

--> First time: used in a lazer shooting game set up by the first of the dragon tamer's dad as a way of practicing his aim to fulfil his dream of being in MI6.

--> Second time: [[spoiler: used by the fifth dragon tamer to tell the first dragon tamer to get his dragon to aim for the dragon king's eyes to blind him.]] Lampshaded by the first dragon tamer, who asks her if she practiced playing his dad's lazer shooting game. [[spoiler: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny She has.]] ]]

* {{Homage}}: Anyone familiar with ThePowerOfFive, Literature/HowToTrainYourDragon and Literature/AlexRider will know quite a lot about some of the plot points. It is, however, not a homage to ''[[Literature/InheritanceCycle Eragon]]'' (the writer would like to state that he has never read it, so any similarities are a coincidence).

* DidNotDoTheResearch: For a start, although the Black Ops can be assigned for military missions (and, due to not requiring any written records of their orders (according to The Other Wiki), it would make sense to send them), it is admittedly implausable that the best of the best of the secret service of America would be beaten by five teenagers for more than a week. They avoid them for about nine months (granted, they do leave the country by riding a dragon, so it would be harder to track them down, but still...) and the only reason they are caught is due to two things:
--> 1: When they split up into a pair and a lone person, the pair gets betrayed and the lone person (with one of the other dragon tamers, who is found prior to them being captured) is unable to slay a Black Ops pilot for fear of a plane crash landing which could kill all the passengers and themselves.
--> 2: One of them neglects to stay quiet, resulting in the Black Ops pilot knowing which plane they are going on and getting them captured.

* HumanSacrifice: Required by the dark priests to rise the dragon king. Slight twist: [[spoiler: it turns out that it meant THEIR sacrifice, not that of another human.]] The go through with it.
