Soooo good. Thanks man. Part of me wishes you had just said nothing at first and then just released all the reviews at the same time lol 😂 This is torture
What are your thoughts on Overanalyzing Avatar?
LETS GOOOOOOO
btw I'm obsessed with the line "Aang is kind of supposed to be a supercilious prick and Katara fucking hates him for it"
More anticipated than the actual show.. by me, at least
Another bop
The fact that they’re guilt tripping Aang more in this version for “ignoring his responsibility for 100 years” is all the more terrible for the fact that in this version he doesn’t even run away, he just takes a joyride on Appa and gets unlucky. No one is allowed to be even remotely unlikeable in this show.
I hate new Katara do much!!! bad writers are so scared of writing annoying female characters so much they overcorrect and write nothingburgers
I'm honestly so mad they didn't put sokka in the kyoshi warrior makeup.
The "Aang hurting people with his bending" struggle was a big plot point in the original show about learning fire bending. Applying it to his air bending (10:00) goes against one of the coolest things about the original show, the different emotional worlds of the different types of bending and Aang's relationship to them.
Yeah absolutely like they seemed to have universaled bending in this bad way. Like in the original each form is based on a different martial art and reflects a different culture and way of doing things which is why aang who was raised to express movement has trouble with earthbending. But here bending is all basically the same that aang can just say some gibberish to katara even though he doesn't know waterbending and she just gets it and not cause airbending and waterbending had some stuff in common so aang grasped it quick. Just kinda lame
It bothers me so, so much that when the Kyoshi villagers bow, Aang doesn't bow in return. Is this whole show just people genuflecting and singing the praises of an irritating twelve year old?
This version of the show feels sooo yucky. The part with Kyoshi yelling at Aang makes me feel terrible inside, especially when I think about it in contrast to the tone of the original show.
this may be a perception thing, but nearly all of the line deliveries in this show feel... off? like everybody got the script for each scene day of shoot or something. nobody sounds like they understand what their lines mean. real "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" type stuff, and I'm sure plenty of it comes down to writing.
Funny you mentioned Katara's passivity. I recently took a class in animation writing and the instructor said that modern execs are likely to view a character like Katara as a "shrew". I wonder if the creators of (or execs overseeing) this new version looked at the original series Katara and thought her being a passionate, active character was something they needed to fix.
Man that sucks so bad
I love you trashing this, so much
I enjoy!
