The recent wave of movies/shows that go on a "tell don't show" route because people behind them think consumers are too stupid to understand a thing on their own makes me appreciate arcane more than I did before
sincerely asking the natla haters to tag their salt.
Beyond the fact you literally can just. Not engage with the remake. You are entitled to your own opinion, but don't force-feed your hate to the rest of us who actually want to enjoy it, please.
Most of us watching are tired millennials with soul-draining 9 to 5s who can barely make ends meet. Let. Us. Have. This.
New Iliad reboot to address Paris's problematic and dishonorable character trait of using a bow as his primary weapon.
listen the avatar netflix remake isn't as bad as the Shyamalan, but like. The dialogue is so bad. No one on the writing team had any sense of nuance - literally pointed to the screen 3 separate times and said: "exposition dump" like, really, Gran-Gran??? We've heard that a few times already!
Also I thought starting with Sozin's comet was a cool idea, but, like. The audience lost the sense of surprise when the Gaang showed up and everyone was dead. Like, we knew that, we saw that. The payoff wasn't there with Aang going almost avatar state, because we saw Gyatso die already - we already felt that pain when Sozin burned him to death on camera, ya can't wring it out twice!
ALSO - having all the airbenders gather at the Southern Air Temple instead of the systemic plan of wiping the airbenders out one temple at a time kinda...removes some of the seriousness and impact from the Fire Nation's assault. Like, these people are supposed to be expert planners, revolutionizing war machinery, and...*checks notes* flying hundreds of feet up with their fire powers?? Wtf??

Things I like from the Netflix ATLA adaptation/remake
NOT SPOILER FREE OBVIOUSLY
-Anger and Fear in Gordon/Aangs eyes during his conversation with Gyatso about being the Avatar
-That we get to see this part of history at all
-THE MUSIC IS THE EXACT SAME HELLO?!?!
- Okay misogynist or not Sokka is still a dickhead. I'll take it
- Zuko's tiny ship is amazing. Can't wait for the full sized warships
- Zuko has Avatar relics?!
- Suki roast his ass!
- Suki jumpscares
- Suki showing off the fan's uses
- Spirit World was trippy
- Kyoshi jumpscare
- "Aang. It's about time." Ahhhhhhh yes "Do A Murder" Kyoshi shining through already
- Sokka's face screaming "Fuck you" when he saved Suki from Zhao
- Kyoshi taking over like Roku did during the Winter Solstice at the Fire Sage Temple?!??!
- Kick their asses Kyoshi!
- Awwwwwww kiss him Suki 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
- Azula's actress has Azula down
- The Ostrich-Horses are so ugly they're cute
- Mai is perfect
- Gay Oma and Shu????? (I checked they weren't originally gay this is cute and it was super subtle too 🫶🏼)
- June flirting with Iroh 🫶🏼
- Zuko's actor knowing the character development/redemption arc is coming and playing into that the whole time
- Mai still being perfect
- Yue got to break off her arranged marriage!!!!
- Hahn not being a piece of shit?!
- Ahhhhhhh at least Pakku is still a misogynistic pig (joking but come on that was Sokka's whole character development)
- Aang and Katara crying over Hahn's dead body 🥹🥹
- Mako (original Iroh) would be proud of this Iroh and I know that's a bold claim but I'm right. That spill about masking? 10/10. Made me sob. He's the only reason I'd tolerate a second season
Overall this show is a solid 7/10. Is it anything compared to the original? No. Is it better than M. Knight Shamalan's live action adaptation? Yes. By at least 50 miles (80 Km). Do I want a second season? Not really honestly.
Thoughts on the new ATLA based on episode one
Spoilers!
I can tell the Avatar remake was a flop because there have been exactly 0 gif sets on my timeline. nothing is as damning as knowing my friends, my friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends didn’t even give enough of a shit to make gifs
