* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The French community is respectably large. Their [[https://les-royaumes-de-feu.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Accueil general Wings of Fire Wiki]] has slightly more articles than the English Wiki (785 vs. 731).[[note]]The French Wiki makes separate pages for unnamed characters while the English Wiki lists all unnamed characters on one page. Because of that, the two Wikis are pretty much the the same size.[[/note]] The French community also has its own [[https://aux-royaumes-de-feu.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Wiki_Aux_Royaumes_de_Feu fanon Wiki]] and a [[https://stupide-wikia-les-royaumes-de-feu.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Wiki_Stupide_Wikia_Les_Royaumes_de_Feu "stupid" Wiki made for humor]].

** Where did Umber and Sora run off to? That's a popular fan question with many theories. The most common ones are that they're either in Possibility, somewhere in Pantala(in fact, there's speculation that Umber or Sora would get a [=POV=] in the third arc), or on a random island.

Where's the hindsight?


* HilariousInHindsight:
** In the beginning of "The Hidden Kingdom", Glory protests Tsunami wanting to be a [=RainWing=] queen, stating that "You cannot have a [=SeaWing=] as queen of the [=RainWings=]." Later, [[spoiler:not only does Glory become the [=RainWing=] queen, but also queen of the [=NightWings=]]].
** In ''Dragonslayer'', the guide to dragons states that the "rainforest dragons"([=RainWings=]) are most likely the deadliest dragon tribe due to having no survivor encounters. Considering that [=RainWings=] are rather lazy pacifists who don't like hurting living creatures, this makes it hilarious.

That's not what Human Focused Adaptation means.


* DancingBear: Much like a [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro certain other dragon-centric video game series several years ago]], one of the biggest draws of the book series is that the setting has the dragons be actual protagonists with their own unique culture and society instead of being [[HumanFocusedAdaptation second fiddle to the pesky humans on their backs who would never have gone far without them or generic beasts to be slain for trophies]]. [[spoiler:Ironic when you consider what happened in ''Dragonslayer''.]]

* LoveToHate: Oddly enough, Scarlet proves to be this for rather fitting reasons. Yes she's a monster who will make others suffer [[ForTheEvulz just to watch them squirm]], yes she twisted her adoptive daughter into a killer, and yes [[spoiler: she tricked the dragonets of prophecy into thinking she decapitated Glory]]. ''But'' she's a '''[[JustifiedTrope dragon]]'''! Any self-respecting fan of [[Film/TheHobbit Smaug]] or TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons will know this is par for the course for any self-respecting red dragon.

Want to get rid of all uses of psychotic to just mean "evilly crazy", that's not what it means and it's offensive to actual psychotic people.

Maleficent herself is an easy fit as she has her own dragon transformation as it is.
** A little surprisingly, there’s an increasing one with the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' fandom, of all things. Ask around and you’ll find plenty of [=FanWings=] who either grew up on Godzilla, or migrated over once the Modern Era of Kaiju kicked up. Art of the Godzilla kaiju reimagined as Wings of Fire dragons exists, and at least a few content creators make content for both. Helps that both are fiction series with not-humans at the center.

* NeverLiveItDown: Glory's venom was described as 'magical death spit' in exactly ''one'' book, and she did respond 'WE ARE NOT CALLING IT MAGICAL DEATH SPIT!' however, from that point forth, Glory (or anyone else) never mentions magical death spit, although the fandom accepts it to be the commonly used name for the venom, as well as a joke that would be guaranteed to get a rise out of Glory.

** Morrowseer is loved by fans, so he gets a lot of this treatment. This is despite him being a manipulative, arrogant, and heartless dragon who only cares about his tribe and reputation, [[spoiler: not to mention fabricating the prophecy to begin with.]]

While he's definitely [[AffablyEvil friendly and congenial]] and has a very understandable reason to hate the [=IceWings=] and ''especially'' Queen Diamond, that doesn't change the fact that he quickly jumps off the deep end after Foeslayer gets kidnapped. He brainwashed Clearsight and Fathom in ways that he ''thinks'' is best for them, turned Indigo into a wooden carving after she saved Fathom from his animus-touched goblet, forced his own father to disembowel himself in brutal fashion, and he intended to wipe out the entire [=IceWing=] tribe and take over the world [[spoiler: even 2000 years later, and he used his animus magic after he wakes up to brainwash everybody he meets into liking and trusting him.]] He even admits [[spoiler: near the end of ''Darkness of Dragons'']] that it's just as much as revenge than protecting his tribe and [[spoiler: Qibli outright says that [[ShutUpHannibal it's ultimately Darkstalker's choice to do evil things,]] [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse not because animus magic got rid of his soul.]]]] [[spoiler: Oh, and after Turtle is forced to reveal himself in ''Talons of Power'', Darkstalker immediately tries to kill him, thinking that he's Fathom.]]
