Talk:Prism Dragon/@comment-5081849-20140725212102/@comment-5835936-20140725234520

Maybe Backflip thinks these things deserve celebrating. Scientific advances have made a far bigger impact on our lives than the events that originally spawned most holidays. I for one think it's great that Backflip are adding scientific themes to their dragons. I have always admired how they subtley teach new things about culture, history and science through their references and themes, and this is another occasion. How many people have learned how prisms work today through reading about this dragon and its decoration? And how many have learned about the kite experiment from wondering why that dragon was released when it was? You may not care, but it can't be called a bad thing by any means. I certainly would not prefer repeats of other holidays. All the big ones have more than enough already.
