Our first look at the Immemorial City is presented as a sad cover of "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden plays. The slow, gentle music, contrasted with the vaguely-menacing lyrics, fits pretty well with the city, which is large and empty but still looks incredibly foreboding.
The final scene of the series is set to "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits. The epic, legendary guitar riff by Mark Knopfler really helps sell the notion that the series was just getting started.
Complete Monster: The Crone, once known as Lili, is the chief servant of the Wyrm and The Corrupter of Queen Bavmorda. Having kidnapped and brainwashed Bavmorda, the Crone was responsible for all the bloodshed and strife committed to kill baby Elora Danan. Surfacing as the true threat to the land, the Crone has the heroic guardsman Ballantine possessed to kill those near to him along with trying to kill Ballantine's adopted daughter Jade. Luring the heroes into aiding her with a disguise, the Crone then reveals herself with true plan: to summon the Wyrm and ravage the land with the deaths of every human being.
Fight Scene Failure: "The Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb" is. . . not great. It's obscured by darkness and rain, shot in quick cuts and closeups (likely to compensate for some of the actors' less-than-competent swordplay) against dark craggy rocks, with the three enemies in identical armor and weapons, making it difficult to get a sense for the geography of the fight, who is fighting who at any given moment, which side is winning, where the fight is relative to the "safe" space Willow and Elora take cover in, and so on. Overall, it's less a thrilling, tense action scene and more marking time to the end of the episode.
With Warrior Nun due to both shows starring queer warrior women. Warrior Nun was canceled shortly after Willow premiered, causing much of the LGBT Fanbase to migrate over — and then Willow was scrubbed from streaming altogether.
With Bottoms, a movie where Ruby Cruz plays a badass lesbian fighter.
LGBT Fanbase: Given that Kit and Jade, two of the female main characters, are explicitly in love while their growing romance is a continuing arc, it's no surprise this was a popular show among many LGBT+ viewers.
One True Pairing: The canon relationship between Kit and Jade is easily the most popular ship in the fandom and it's impossible to find someone who ships them with anyone else.
Portmanteau Couple Name: The fandom quickly coined "Tanthamore" (Kit Tanthalos/Jade Claymore) and "Graylora" (Elora Danan/Prince Graydon).
