Later in the month, the third season was added as well. However as of October 2023, the series is no longer available. As of February 2024, the complete series is now available instead on the Roku Channel.

* ArbitrarySkepticism:** In one episode, Ord is reminded that "monsters aren't real" to stop him from being afraid of the dark. This despite the show's setting having many creatures that could easily be described as monsters--not the least of which are the titular dragons themselves!

* PoorCommunicationKills: What kicks off the plot of ''No Hitter''. When Max and Emmy are preparing to leave for Dragon Land to partipate in game of Dragon Ball (which is literally just kickball), Max, after demonstrating his pitching skills to Emmy asks her if he can pitch in the game while she is fetching the scale. She does not hear him and says "Okay, Max", meaning "Okay Max, we're all ready to go" which Max misinterprets as "Okay Max, that's fine." This incident is what leads Max to hit Emmy when she insists on having him in the outfield instead of pitching.

** In "To Kingdom Come", Ord finds a wish shell and uses it to wish for a new hat that look just like Max's after Max shares his hat with him. This gets the attention of his friends, who find out about the wish shell and want to use it to wish for things of their own.[[note]]Max wants to wish for super-big muscles, Wheezie wants to wish for a louder singing voice, Zak wants to wish for some earplugs, Emmy wants to wish to be the world's best soccer player, and Cassie wants to wish for a library's worth of books to read.[[/note]] Not wanting to share the wish shell, Ord wishes that he was somewhere where he wouldn't have to share it with anyone, causing the wish shell to take him to Kingdom Come. Inside Kindgom Come, Monsieur Marmadune tells Ord that he can do whatever he wants, but he can never leave. This is bad news for Ord, who wants to be back at the beach party, so he wishes his friends were with him, resulting in the wish shell taking them to Kingdom Come. Zak calls Ord out for this, saying he could have wished himself back home instead of wishing them all to Kingdom Come. When Ord tries to wish him and his friends back home, the shell breaks. Cassie tells him this is because he only gets three wishes from a wish shell, and he used them all up.
