Just finished it, that was actually impressive, all things considered. The animation was beautiful, and the art style was nice, even if at times it felt too anime-like. But I guess I'll take that over Mir style again. Plot was generic and rushed, but overall serviceable. I can definitely see why it was taken out of theaters. But all in all, probably the best Retro Nick revival. Looking forward to the sequels
So if this movie's singular purpose was to increase porn drawn of Toph is Seven Havens job to have more porn drawn of Korra?
what a shit movie, aang is a fucking jobber and its fucking pathetic that he beat the strongest firebender ever but jobs to a random no name
>>153234070now he's getting it.
It's like, a 6/10.Are they not able to write anything other than non-bender seethe plots anymore? This wasn't a thing at all in the original series - this fixation on underclass nonbender slave morality. It reeks of the writers inserting their politics ham-fistedly into a fictional universe that was not designed to accommodate them. ATLA was a classic hero's journey and growing-up-story about elemental wizards fighting for the future of their nations and the world. It's not like nonbenders were ever shown to be ill treated - their goals were aligned with the benders. But ever since Amon, it's just nonbender class war plots, and weirdly, they always make the nonbenders extremely unsympathetic, cartoonish, and pathetic, and never seriously contend with their "philosophy" anyway, so you have to wonder what the point of it even is.Big glowing kaiju space monster fights are also bad and gay. Forced gags and callbacks are bad, it was tolerable once but they managed to cram in every single one from the original series. MacGuffin plot too...when did Avatar ever do MacGuffins before? Really unfitting and lame.Aang seemed weak, emotional, and stupid. I'm not a powerlevel fag, but it really felt like he had learned almost nothing from his original journey, like there was no continuity. Katara is her usual suspicious self who is right about everything, Toph is entertaining, Sokka is just comic relief here, and Zuko didn't do much.Overall it feels like this what Avatar spinoffs are doomed to be - tedious retread, memberberries, weak writing, and nonbender seethe (nobody cares about nonbenders). Shame but I ought to have expected it by now.It wasn't thoroughly atrocious, just mediocrity incarnate and didn't need to exist.
Toph only have two daughters makes every man in the setting come across as a huge faggot, if i was in the avatar world i would have made Toph push out 40 brats
So glad the movie leaked so I wouldnt waste money on it. Looks so bad
Why op? You are stealing from Nickelodeon.
>>153234534
>>153234479i fear that any probable sequel that will come out of this will be written by committee which is just going to grind down the films quality fast and hard
>>153234367That sort of shit tends to happen in anime, but mostly on fillers.Also happens in comics sometimes.
>sequelhopefully the water tribe gets their turn to genocide the air nomads!
I'm looking at this interview from 8 months ago and they're all still here, man. Fuck them for replacing the vas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXRj1uAITwA [Open]The VA for Aang could have played adult aang, man. He still got a good voice. I refuse to believe they couldn't get him if he still turn up for anniversary events
>>153232391team avatar barely got any screentime at all, there's no way they could've fit her in the movieruntime was very poorly utilized in this film
>>153234654yea what the fuck. i bet it's because they were union or something.fucking corpos.
>>153234657>>153234657No one likes Suki really. Toph is the preferred love interest for Sokka
>>153234654The problem with Aang is that it's a white man playing an asian character.
>>153234542Based, fuck Nickelodeon and Paramount
>>153233955>Seven Havens job to have more porn drawn of KorraKorra?
>>153234749Most people aren't attracted to preteens.
>>153234766outta 10!
>>153233955All things considered it was still better than anything The Dragon Prince could come up with in six (or was it seven?) seasons.Most of it was nostalgia bait but I guess that's okay, the only thing I absolutely didn't like was that boar spirit, fucking trash.
>>153234782Yeah most people out of ten aren't, it's probably like 1 or 2 people out of ten that are and even that's being extremely generous
>>153234654Aang's va same eventhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/Fg8BpVnROWs
Fans would have destroyed this movie if it had a theatre release. The voice acting sounded extremely amateurish for todays standards.
>>153234845Better than literally 99% of anime dubs.
>>153234639Seems you are just mad your cartoon crush was not in the movie because all the relevance comes from being a love interest
>>153234856Not a high bar. EN dub is dogshit for anime, but it was always very decent for games and western animation.
>>153234856>>153234897Isnt it getting trash BECAUSE it sounds like low end anime dub?
Guys you should have just waited to watch it. It’s what the animators would have wanted. It’s really disrespectful to watch it early like this.
>>153234845It might just be that they would tweak the audio and do some ADR sometime within the six months it's supposed to be released.
>>153234939I would care and feel bad if they didn't change VAs to appeal to woketards. Would still pirate, but with some remorse. Now? Fuck this shit.
Toph was better as a loli, change my mind
>>153234981Redditors are such fags, they feel the need to justify piracy.
>>153234985I fapped the most to her old lady version.
>>153234939Fuck liberal media. Watched it and it was trash. Already deleted it off my server.
>>153234981>the animation quality is really really goodGod, you zoomers are pathetic having stuff like the spiderman movie as your only frame of reference for whats good animation
>>153234985I like both loli Toph and fit Toph, so it doesn't matter to me.
Tagah is Broly + Eren
Please just make more fucking edits already
Do they really say "benders" in avatar?
>>153234654I'm more fucked off that they didn't bring back Dante Basco for Zuko, who probably was the most iconic VA of ATLA after Mako Iwamatsu.
>>153235221The voice acting industry dug this hole itself. When you become too accepting, this is what you get. At the same time, the gatekeeping was getting out of control so you can say its karma deserved.
>I mean, dude, you keep bringing up creating more air benders>Have you ever like been with a woman? >You know you can like create more air benders with a woman, like, fucking her?
>>153235221Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I’m fine with him not voicing adult Zuko. His voice just sounds weird coming out of an adult characters mouth as we saw in Korra, he just sounds too much like a teenager.
>>153235233Why didn't Aang have like 20 children with Katara?He's the Avatar, is the leader of a major city, and is friends with one of the four major heads of state in the world. It's not like he wouldn't have the resources to raise them.
>>153235241no he didnt. he literally sounded like an adult
>>153235233They wrote themselves into a corner for sequels and spinoffs by making it "the last airbender." They have been obsessed with this idea of reviving airbenders in sequel projects ever since, to the detriment of each project it has appeared in. Actually this movie got me thinking about how so many sequels/prequels are obsessed with explaining lore - answering questions that are best left unasked.If you think about it for a second, being able to make an entire element extinct seems to go against the basic premises of the Avatar universe ("balance"), but some things should just be left vague. It's like trying to explain how the Force works.
>>153235241That kind of fall apart when you remember Zuko is now voiced by Steven Yeun who also sounds like a teenager.
>>153235233THREE KIDSTHREE FUCKING KIDSand only ONE was usefuland good lord the daughter didn't inherit the air bending, seeing she was a carpet muncheralso what's up with the fucking captcha
>>153235308Its such a strange decision to just kill off the Air nomads like that in the Orignal series. Normally you'd expect them to find a secret enclave of Air Benders at some point, but they don't... its incredibly bizzare, especially in a kids show where that goes on about hope all the time, and then have this denial of hope with the Air Nomads.
>>153235241Fuckoff back to twitter
>>153235338this movie is gay in that if they discovered this secret airbender in the original, he would have solo'd the fire nation and made Ozai his bitch.
>>153235233>Aang: 3 kids, 1 (natural) airbender. 3.33% success rate at reviving the Air Nation>Tenzin: 4 kids, 3 airbenders (with the 4th implied to also be an Airbender). 75% success rate at reviving the Air Nation.Tenzin was statistically better at reviving the Air Nation.
>>153235296It did and it was a huge complaint in when Iroh showed up in Korra and sounded like a kid in a man’s body.You’d know that if you weren’t born after Korra released.
>>153235308These aren't equivalent situations. The force just exists, it's a nebulous space magic that allows for magic stuff to happen in space. The Avatar equivalent would be a sequel explaining how, for example, firebenders aren't constantly burned by having massive jets of flame coming out of their limbs. The air extinction thing is closer to just being a plot hole. TLA had a lot of really shaky worldbuilding that relies on you not asking any clarifying questions, not vague "it's magic" stuff that should be left vague, but logistical problems that don't make any sense at all if you don't just accept them at face value.
Literal who OC girl is genuinely cute! The freckles do it for me.
>>153235326>>153235357Katara being a waterbender, probably messed things up. The waterbender genes were competing with the airbender genes. All of Tenzin's kids were airbenders because Pema was a non-bender.
>>153234367Oh no a movie villan is suddenly the strongest thing the main cast has ever faced I've never come across this concept before in my life
>>153235338It made the show thematically rich. Holy shit, he's the last one! It was such a big part of the MC's characterization and the back story of the world, and made Aang feel really unique. You can tell this was supposed to be a one-off series at best.Even though he's supposed to be the avatar and super powerful and unique, he wouldn't have felt THAT unique to *us* if he didn't have an element only he could use. Think about how often his airbending was used to baffle the Fire Nation and Zuko, and realize how worse the show would have been if that aspect was just gone, because they were accustomed to fighting airbenders. It's part of why Korra feels like such a massive jobber, air is boring in her era.
>>153235361I watched korra from start to end (unfortunately). his voice was not a kids
>>153235326>and good lord the daughter didn't inherit the air bending, seeing she was a carpet muncherThat actually raises an interesting question: If Kya had been born an Airbender (and assuming that doesn't butterfly effect her into being straight or bi) would she have been willing to push her sexuality aside to help ensure the repopulating of Airbenders, put herself first and continued remaining single/exclusively being with women, or try to balance it by having her life partner be a woman and at every opportunity get herself pregnant by random (ideally non bender) men?
>>153233955Avatar's becoming less Martial Arts and more Dragon Ball...
>>153235338>Normally you'd expect them to find a secret enclave of Air Benders at some pointthis was supposed to happen according to ehasz, but bryke just cant let go of le special last airbender premise even though they dont commit to what that should entail for aang outside of copouts like harmonic convergence
>>153235362It's not exactly the same, but it's the same in principle. They have been obsessed with explaining the lore of the Avatar world after the original series ended. See the whole Wan bullshit. The fact is, ATLA was carried by its writing and character moments, not by its lore, and they've become disgusting, narrow-minded lorefags since then, now that all the good character moments are resolved. They're basically writing bad fanfiction instead of telling cool stories.
>>153235366Take it you like Kyoshi too since shes canonically freckled
>>153235380Because this is basically the equivalent of a movie for an anime series.
>the lion turtles gave a staff the power to give non-benders air bendingNo fucking way the Lion Turtles would ever allow this. They barely trusted people with giving them temporary bending.If they gave someone the power to give others bending would make more sense, but a staff where ANYONE with enough spiritual power could give others bending? That's a dumb decision.
>>153235398there's literally no reason there wouldnt be. I was waiting for the entire show, too. In fact, I was waiting for a Book 4 (Air) to showcase this very thing.
I don't really like the premise of there being a magical item since that never happened in ATLA or even Korra. Other than that I really enjoyed the movie. I would've liked more screentime of Toph, Katara, Sokka and Zuko but there's not much that can be done about that. The movie makes me wish there was another Aang series. Maybe there's a retcon where they completely rewrite LeK so that Korra is good.>>153233955What's this webm from?
>>153233955What the fuck is that air bending? ATLA isn't fucking Dragon Ball.I'm glad it got leaked, not watching this in theaters.
>>153235400>ATLA was carried by its writingLmao, absolutely fucking not. ATLA was carried by cool action stuff, being thematically interesting (in the most literal sense, not in the more academic sense) and a sense of adventure. It's writing is, as a whole, exceedingly medicore and its character moments are largely moments of "character does flashy faction thing" not any sort of actual interesting character examination that leads to resolution.Zuko is basically the only decently written, interesting character in the entire show, and I say that as someone who doesn't not care very much about Zuko.
>>153235428looks like Naruto too
>>153235426Forgot pic.
>>153235423im thinking those two killed real writer and took credit
>>153235423>They barely trusted people with giving them temporary bendingThey literally gave whoever wanted to just leave and try living elsewhere permanent bending.
>>153235398Man there really was this checks and balances going on in ATLA that neither party was able to pull of alone (Korra and Dragon Prince)
>>153235426I would guess the mobile Gacha game that exists for every franchise these days, since he talks about gathering allies, and it's not from the Film.
>>153235447seriously, just swallow their pride and get the band back together ffs, it's not like they all aren't active.
>>153235433>It's writing is, as a whole, exceedingly medicore and its character moments are largely moments of "character does flashy faction thing" not any sort of actual interesting character examination that leads to resolution.You must be thinking of Korra, ATLA has a good blend of character writing and action-adventure.

>>153235366I like her thick eyebrows.
>>153235366I still don't know what her name is. The only time they name her it sounds like P'Li and I'm fairly certain they would not do that.
>>153235483STOP STOP STOP. KATARA'S MY (SELF-INSERT'S) WAIFU, NOT THAT WHORE ZUKO'S. I'M GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER COMIC WHERE MAI KEKS ZUKO!!!
>>153235483you just know
Look at what you fucks have done to these poor animators. You never think about others, do you? You only think about yourselves.
>>153235542what animation did they actually do? They literally didnt even blend anything. probably the most minimum animation you had to do. Everything is 3D so they had to do even less work
>>153235426Yes, at most I can think of stuff like the statues that light up when the Avatar is revealed. It's as if Aang had a magic glider that flew under its own power instead of Appa.
>>153235102strangely wholesome
>>153235542I'll watch it in theaters whenever it releases but its been hard to avoid seeing all the screenshots and clips to not get spoiled.
>>153235382Disagree. I think having more Airbenders would have made Aang more unique since he'd be able to stand out more, and we would see what makes him special. Every other character in the Gaang has a culture they stand out from, Toph for example. But not Aang, so he isn't as special weirdly enough
>>153235551What the fuck are you talking about?
Movie was okay. This chick was cute.
I like how the big payoff at the end of the movie is that Appa is getting laid
>>153235603How is Aang not having a living culture at all not special in and of itself? Especially when that culture is often presented as the most pacifist of all the still existing ones?
>>153235506Why did he cuck Sokka then?
>>153235477Take off your nostalgia glasses anon. ATLA is good, but the writing was just above average, not the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Is there a mega where the movie can be watched or downloaded?
I'm not perpetually online, where can I download it?
>>153235603>I think having more Airbenders would have made Aang more unique since he'd be able to stand out moreWe did see that in flashbacks though. He was unique even before the genocide and his 100 year nap because he already had his tattoos and he invented the airscooter.
:3
>>153235687>>153235684check the archive theres a gofile
>>153233955I have to nitpick the writing.>AANG: "Zuko, once my worst enemy, became my firebending master."Honestly, I feel like Aang would never describe Zuko as an enemy.
>>153235692>this little tot will never think you're the coolest
>>153235634NTA but who cares when the culture itself is underdeveloped and surves no purpose other than to give him the moral high ground to the point of boredom?
>>153235623So why did all the eyes of the denied glow when they were empowered by the Staff?
>>153235717An enemy for sure but the worst one?
>>153235692Sokka should have corrected her behaviour.
>>153235740To showcase they were empowered by the staff and therefore could airbend you fucking RETARD
>>153235518This scene was so odd. Did it only exist to do this joke?
>>153235750That writing doesn't look like Chinese
>non bender terrorists>dbz spirit fighting>main villain is a non bender given airbending powers>main villain is also a supremacistliterally retreading all four seasons of korra in 1.5 hours but with ATLA slapped on top
>>153235767That's a boy.>>153235778>>non bender terrorists>the conflict of being underneath benders in the hierarchy was never solvedGlossed over just like in Korra.
>>153235717>>153235759He did say "once".He was pretty much Aang's only major enemy in the first season.
>>153235428No one has fucking known how to depict bending right since Korra, unfortunately. Not even the fighting game seems to get the movements right. Bending becoming generic action shounen fights or the written Chinese morphing into some made up language is hurting my soul more than the usual shit people complain about. Combine with the Mcguffin plot and another "nonbenders actually hate benders even though the show depicted them all as capable as benders"At least the tech and clothing seems to be right and the movie looked ice
Fire - Lightning - CombustionEarth - Metal - LavaWater - Ice - BloodAir - lol
>>153235769But Taga's eyes didn't glow>>153235774Avatar Studios made a new fake alphabet to use for the Avatar world
>>153235634Because theres nothing that separates him or makes him stand out from the Air nomads, no one for him to bounce off of so we can see how skilled and special he really is. He's more of a stereotype than a character. It also makes the Air Nomads worse because we don't get a proper exploration of their culture to make them more like a nation, they are *just* a caricature of the stereotype of Buddhist monks.
>>153235822>Water - Ice - BloodYou forgot one thing.
>>153235827>Avatar Studios made a new fake alphabet to use for the Avatar worldCringe desuI guess nothing will really reach the soul, though, and care of the original. Just fucking hire a calligrapher again
>>153235822>Water - Ice - BloodI'm not sure turning water to ice or steam is comparable to bloodbending or the other types of specialist bending you mention.It would be like you categorising Sand Bending on the same level as Metal or Lava
>>153233955Wait, the whole movie's out already? I thought they'd only released a teaser clip or something.That was fast, lol.
>>153235827Taga was the one in control of the staff, and his tattoos glowed red
>>153235681I've literally never watched ATLA until everyone started dickriding it in 2020. Obviously the writing isn't some profound thing, but it is well-made for what's supposed to be some "dumb" kids' show.I'm sorry I'm not as pessimistic and jaded as you are in your old age, thinking that everything you loved as a child was never good to begin with.
>>153235822>Fire - Lightning - CombustionFire is use for spiritual healing in Korra i think>Earth - Metal - LavaSeismic sense should be considered a special skill too>Water - Ice - BloodHealing>Air - lolBoth Korra and the movie add flying to the mix, Korra adds astral projection
>>153235822didn't Zaheer have some cool air tricks, I can't remember anymore
>>153235822Air has astral projection but that's more of an ability than a bending.
>>153235837Sex with Katara is the most sacred waterbending technique.
>>153235806>the conflict of being underneath benders in the hierarchy was never solvedNeither serie ever showed one. Non benders are among the most rich and politicaly influential of the world.All major corps have non bender CEOs.Half the nations are ruled by non benders.A bender can't be sure his child will be a bender, so lineage based on that is not pratical either.There was never a political gap between them.
>>153234367The entire fight against Ozai was a copout and I'm not even talking about the energy bending bullshit.
>>153235870flight without a glider or any support
>>153235829>Air nomads, no one for him to bounce off of so we can see how skilled and special he really is.Why does he have to bounce off of air nomads to be special? It also sounds like you are overlooking another thing that makes Aang unique which is he is never at odds with his nation's philosophy. Zuko, Toph, and Katara all have issues with the traditions they come from what what their nations have become. Aang in the finale literally disagrees with the previous air avatar's advice in moving away from his nations teachings. Funnily enough, Aang is the only hardline conservative in a group of progressives lol. >they are *just* a caricature of the stereotype of Buddhist monksThat's what all the nation's were. Just pre-existing tropes with a bending veneer on top. Japan, China, Inuit/native American.
>>153235542Dude animators in the industry are so fucking whipped by their corporate white slavers that they shitting on fans over Paramount's dumb ass decisionsTELL PARAMOUNT TO FUCKING BURN TO THE FUCKING GROUND ALREADY
>avatar has descended into becoming a dragon ball z movie territoryguess i should've seen it coming
>>153235900they wont cause their living depends on them. otherwise they get replaced by indonesia animators
I really liked everything BUTThe movie played it too safe with themes we’ve already seen in Avatar. Still, I think Taga is cool and worked as a villain. The things I didn’t like were:1 - another spirit monster. Avatar should be about bending, and Aang in the Avatar State should be enough to defeat Taga.2 - the whole gang dying and coming back, it doesn’t make sense. It would’ve been better to have a small group defeat and then have them help Aang a bit.3 - I think it needed more fighting scenes.
>>153235717I mean, Zuko did try to murder him. Like, a lot. They don't give you an award for attempted murder.
>>153235878It's about benders using their abilities to overpower nonbenders in regular life not corpo environments. Dai Li agents. Firebenders imperialism. The Avatar exerting her power over the Chin the Conquerer. 1v1 a bender is always going to be at an advantage against those that can't. It's a clear power imbalance.
>>153235933considering how much of a funless bitch Katara is, this would have been a great scene
I think being the last airbender has some misconsistencies. you would believe there would be refugees in hiding during Aang's century long slumber and here the thinks he's the last? also 10,000 years is Wan and this female airbender is from 5000 years ago? jesus, why introduce new avatars if they're not going to be reused again? kind of bizarre they have their own domain in the spirit or avatar world.
who was this
What's with the explosion of Aang hate on twitter? People saying Korra could've easily beaten Tagah. Did we watch the same show?
>firebenders ignited a genocide against the air temple monks>earthbenders ignited a full scale war against air benders 5000 years agowhat's next an airbender schism (airbender vs airbender) or waterbender against airbenders.
>>153235717I found Sokka saying Aang was his best friend throughout the film much weirder to be honest.Zuko was at least the main antagonist for much of season 1 and the face of the fire nation in that period
Why gatekeeping it if the movie was ready the whole time?
any streaming links still work?
>>153235951my wife Korra, Avatar of Avatars Total Annihilator of the World
>>153235717aang is still anal about zutara
>>153235717Not even in book 1
I thought the ending was going to tie into Korra. Like maybe Aang uses the staff to bring airbenders back and they find out it doesn't take effect until 100 years later when Korra opens the spirit world up.
>>153235951korra, she’s wearing a micro bikini under that coat, of course.
there needs to be another timeline where Aang becomes evil
>>153235814>air bending hooks awayhow the fuck does that even work
>>153235957Korrafags have inferiority complex and are trying to cope by attacking their superior.
>>153236007I have a timeline where Aang doesn't get found in the ice berg
friendly reminder that both zuko and toph got ACK'd
Did they ever explain why they named a character after a beloved actor who passed away and made said character the biggest fuckboy in the series
>>153235822Sound, cloud/storms, temperature manipulation, gravity, gas, illusions.
>>153235397I've noticed that tooWas it too hard to watch some old wuxia movies or hire a choreographer? The basic styles bending is based on aren't a secret, at least Korra had the excuse that everything was being "modernized" into MMA slop
>>153235968Waterbenders try to flood the world but because air nomad societies are built so high up on mountains they're the only ones that survive while fire nation and earth kingdom refugees take shelter there. Also firebenders genociding wasn't really a targeted attack on air nomads only, but the world. The Earthbender war against airbenders was specifically only to them.
>>153235897NTA but>Japan, China, Inuit/native American.They're all a hodgepodge of different cultures when you look at them closer than that Even stuff like the western or eastern Air temples borrow from Buddhist architecture outside of Tibet >It also sounds like you are overlooking another thing that makes Aang unique which is he is never at odds with his nation's philosophy. Zuko, Toph, and Katara all have issues with the traditions they come from what what their nations have become. Aang in the finale literally disagrees with the previous air avatar's advice in moving away from his nations teachings. Funnily enough, Aang is the only hardline conservative in a group of progressives lol.Sokka's character is about manhood being more than just a jock tough guy larp, but I'm sure he still has that sexist he-man dog in him
>>153235957Korrafags tend to be zoomers who grew up with LoK and think it's the better show Because of her attitude they forget she's a massive jobber
>>153236071With how certain attacks are going in this film, it's pretty blatant they're looking to anime for inspiration and not real life arts. Fuck's sake, Zuko got Uzumaki/Lion's Barrage'd. It's flashy for the sake of it more than anything.Considering it's the Monkey Kid animators, though, that REALLY shouldn't be surprising to anyone.
>>153235878Jet's freedom fighters could've wiped out a whole village the old fashion way and none of them were bendersMai and Ty-lee were skillful enough to be used by literal royalty on personal quests, Ty-Lee could fight against almost any benderThe Kyoshi Warriors are basically a police forceZhao hired top archers to capture Aang and one of them is one of the antagonists of the movie Most of the innovative technology in-universe comes from non-benders, like the inventor or even Sokka himself Zuko's other skill is swordsmanship I too always felt the bender vs nonbender conflict was always overstated, and it's not a setting where eugenics can work because two benders can still make nonbenders Hell, were Toph's parents even benders?
they should introduce the concept of a fake avatar where everyone thinks he or she is the deity but is an absolute fraud.

>>153234479this desuI don't care about non benders, it's as if Harry Potter asked me to care about muggles
>>153235870Superman flight and just using air bending in more deadly ways like sucking the air out of someone's lungs or putting em in an air vacuum
I for one really enjoyed the film. When aang destroyed the staff and both of them repeated the air bender chant I started to cry. Say what you will but aang finding another air bender, having to face his own people, and seeing the death of them in a short time span was devastating when you look at it from aang's pov. Maybe I just have too much empathy but I really think they got the emotional beats correctly. Unfortunately I do agree the VA could've been a lot better, but then
Everywhere I go I see people praising this movie. Only 4chan seems to hate it. Or are you guys just being contrarians again?
>>153235433Why is there always a guy like you in these topics trying so hard to convince everybody that good things are in fact bad things? ATLA had great characters and writing. Settings and themes are a dime a dozen. People demonstrably care about the characters decades later. Aang, Toph, Iroh, Zuko, Katara, Azula, Sokka, Zhao. Even minor shits like Jet and Jeong Jeong and Pakku are super memorable. So what do you gain from being such a fat faggot fucking contrarian?
>>153236146non benders can fight benders 1v1 and do alright but benders simply have raw power and utility that non benders can never have.
Do we even know her name?
>>153236166Usually 4chan is the last place to look for confirmation of opinions unless it's not even mainstream at all. Then they'll suck its dick or pass it around for the hilarity for a while til some redditor or twitter asshole opens the flood gates, and then it always sucked to begin with after that according to people who are mad it got mainstream.
>>153234985Loli, /fit/, hag.There is a toph for everyone.
>>153236133So we're seeing direct damage caused by the low iq "avatar is just anime" forced meme, which drowns out literally other influence that helped make the show work and be its own thing, like wuxia films or actual martial arts.Even that meme ignores that AtLA's anime influence leaned more Princess Mononoke than DBZ, let alone Naruto. These people are mouthbreathers who should not be listened toI guess I have more reason to watch Monkey Kid now then, though
>>153236176Well until people invent guns and other modern-ish weapons like in Korra.
>>153236186something Li. B'Li, K'Li, G'Li...
>>153236166I think so. I think the new vas bring it down slightly but it's still a very good movie that rightfully should have been in theaters
>>153236161you're right, anonbro.
>>153236148https://i.desu.si/NlHtgnEP.mp4
>>153236172>>153231014Because his bait thread has only gotten 30 replies in 13 hours, half of which are him samefagging
>>153236166Normalfags just want spectacle and turn-your-brain off fun. It's actually seen as uncool to analyze things in any depth, like you're harshing the vibe. I don't think it's horrible but I described my problems with it here >>153234479It's just mediocre as all hell. They took reheated Korra ideas, crammed them into a 1.5 hour long special with a bunch of 20-year-old memberberries, and hoped the visuals would make you not notice.Zuko did not need to be in this movie. So why was he in it? Because he's part of the "Gaang," he has to be. It's garbage-ass fanservice with no soul.
>>153236212Okay, I see someone named Jie in the credits. Is that her or was that another character?
>>1532361664chan hates everything and is psyop'd by multiple think tanks and Epstein and possibly Thiel But the movie does have some issues despite me enjoying it. Magical mcguffins shouldn't be in AtLANormies just want something nice to look at, 4chan just wants to jerk off, and beyond that you'll find actual thoughs>>153236187This is very true. Many a time I've see people here circlejerk over something and go "vgh normies could never understand this", and then something goes viral and mainstream and becomes a huge series and then the same boards call it reddit and say it was never liked here
>>153235951Likely sequelbait, either it's a past Avatar who's important or it's Korra.
>>153236216I hope you enjoyed the film as well. thanks for reading my shitty post.
>>153236222Thanks, bro You're a real oneNice trips too
>>153236229I improved it by posting Kyoshi, don't worry
>>153236008He causes the surface of the airship to visible ripple (which could dislodge the hooks), but aren't fire nation airship exteriors entirely metal? They look like blimps, but there aren't any soft parts, are there?Did Toph teach him metalbending?
>>153236186the yuyan archer chick was hotter.
In concept a sequel movie about adult Aang is completely fine but Bryke are dense headed simpletons with writing and can't recognize where they need help and what talented writing help looks like to choose appropriately. They are sauceless, and have been stuck trying to do things too complicated for their level for more than a decade now.
>>153236147Isn't that in the Kyoshi books or did I mishear
>cabbage salesman>two foaming fanboys at the opening of republic city.what other cameos.
>>153236232I check the credits. It's Kallik. I don't remember who Jie is.
>>153236268yeah but iirc he genuinely thinks he is the avatar
>>153236150The difference is that nonbenders are part of the fantasy in atla while muggles in HP are part of the boring ass normie world So Avatar trying to force another nonbender conflict is lamed because it never worked, just feels like an excuse to go "extremism BAD"
>>153235822Air has discount lightning now. Air Bullet
Sonam design sucks assI don't like how they are only pushing female avatars nowadays either
>>153235969>I found Sokka saying Aang was his best friend throughout the film much weirder to be honestName another one of Sokka's friends
It's so weird to think about how the avatar franchise and all the retarded discussion that stems from it like shipping and powerlevel talk have carried /co/ for the last 15 years
>>153236276I believe this is Jie
>>153235394She'd let it die like Anng. He married a water bender turning it into a 1/3 chance for an air bender. Then he stops at the first one. Lesbo will just find some inner wisdom that maybe its for the best and let it go.
>>153235897Because if their are other Airbenders for him to interact with, we'd see how distinct he is from them, what makes him different. >It also sounds like you are overlooking another thing that makes Aang unique which is he is never at odds with his nation's philosophyIm not overlooking that, I think that makes him less interesting (and the air nomads less interesting by extension). It, again, makes him more of a stereotype than a character. Its also kinda funny, because he actually does betray his nations philosophy, during the desert when he kills the buzzardfly, but its never mentioned again.>That's what all the nation's wereSure but theres a difference between being inspired by eastern cultures (like the fire nation), but still being their own recognizble thing. And just making a caricature, which the air nomads are.
>>153236298Zuko
>>153236280Yun deserved better
>>153236291Why do they have to be brown girl Avatars too? lmao, why do they have to make them incompetent to make the plot happen? Watch Pavi become a constant source of problems in 7H.
>>153236317>Watch Pavi's pacifism become a constant source of problems in 7H.Because Aang's pacifism never caused any problems?
>10,000 years>1001 avatars
>>153235394>>153236307If Tenzin still came along and was an airbender she'd probably leave it up to him. Or maybe she convinces herself she's straight, marries a guy and has a kid and realizes this isn't working and they split. Or she lucks out and finds a gay man to have a lavender marriage with.
>>153236300nothing weird about it, korra ended a decade ago, right around the time animation and everything in general took a nosedive. There just haven't been that many shows to follow since.
>>153236272bros I love member berries so fucking much bros holy shit is that what being a millennial feels like
>>153236300All the shipping shit about action cartoons past a few brief discussions was always insanely boring to me compared to anything else. And if a cast of characters are otherwise cold to each other (like Korra's main cast a lot of the time) it feels so pointless because there's not enough goodstuff in general.I haven't been around on /co/ in years since action cartoons are so rarely made now
>>153236291ATLA franchise will get revitalized when they make a male Firebender Avatar after 7H bombs.
>>153236324Brown (anime) girls are cute.
>>153236328That was his arc, recycling that would be extremely hacky.
>>153235969H-how? In what way is that weird?
>>153234479I agree with most of what you said and I'm surprised that after all of that you still give it a 6/10.It's pretty bad in my opinion. The story is just a rehash of Korra class wars between benders and non-benders shit which was already stupid and lame when it was done back then. The battles are far too late DBZ tier wizards flying around doing 300 somersaults type shit instead of the pseudo martial arts and grounded bending in the original show, everyone feels stupidly OP and the villain is just extra OP for the sake of making simplistic battles because figuring out how to make the fights seem more evenly matched would be more difficult. I really don't like this trend of low framerate choppy animation or how lacking in detail and washed out the art is. The character designs are fine, it's just the visuals they are presented with that are ugly, and the environments are really bland and lacking in detail. Callbacks annoy me these days because they are used in absolutely everything by people that weren't involved in the original production as a cheap way to establish an emotional connection with the audience. I didn't mind the new VA's...until I learned that most of them were cast based on their race and not capability, that is really fucking stupid and actually racist in itself. The credits being absolutely full of Indians is the shit cherry on top.It's not atrocious but it could've been a lot better.I'm kinda astounded at /co/ being this critical and nuanced, normally this board aggressively deepthroats anything mediocre we get.>>153236317Why was this deleted? A janny better not be getting upset at the usage of "brown", and if he is, let me put him in his place: Nigger.
>>153236272Secret Tunnel Singers. He sings it but Katara might have drowned it out in her opening speech if you weren't paying close attention.Kyoshi warriors. It looks like Suki but it's possible it's not.
>>153236354are you stupid?if that happens he'll somehow be black in a modern setting with that retarded sideshave/dreads looki do agree with you about the new show bombing, fucking peg leg jesus christ
>>153236291Well the movie also introduced Avatar Xian (the midget that explained to Aang about Sonam)
watch seven havens take place in the distant future to have fill in avatars inbetween Korra and the new avatar
>$120 million budgetfucking how? Where is the money going?
>>153236166>Everywhere I go I see people praising this movieLiterally the only place mindlessly praising this movie is the Avatar subreddit even twitter trannies are hating on it mainly due to the VA controversy and the fact that its not a good movie. >>153236187 >>153236215 >>153236234 not sure hat these retards are talking about
>>153236380at this point why bother making new avatars if they're not going to be prominent figures in the series?
>>153234479Damn seriously? I was liking the art style and the grow up designs. It's going to suck if they went cheap with the story. They really learned nothing from Korra ,
>>153236382They'll shoehorn in Aang and now Sonam somehow.
>>153236385Not to the animators thats for sure LMAO ;_;
>>153236382thought it was confirmed that pavi was the avatar after korra
>>153236007Its a cool idea but im struggling to think how that could work. Maybie he meets Tagah as kid Aang and he convinces him that pacifism is cringe? Or Aang convinces himself that using the staff is for the greater good? Idk
>>153236316To be fair he spent like 3/4ths of the original show trying to hunt them down and capture them. He did have a loyalty mission which gave him a lot of points getting his dad back tho
>>153236166>Everywhere I go I see people praising this movieAnon don't lie. The VA controversy will guarantee that nobody will be unanimously praised
it should have beenair avatar: bald kid (done)water avatar: mixed/brown muscle girl (17-21y/o) (done)earth avatar: poor earth brown boy (14-16 y/o) (wrong)fire avatar: femme fatale white girl azula type (19-25y/o)
>>153236395I'm not mindlessly praising it. I just think it's a good movie that got slightly less good because of the flat VA performance. see: >>153236418 if it had the original VAs i suspect it would be highly rated. even with the new VAs it still was enough with the storyboarding, writing, and sound design to make me feel deeply enough to cry.
>>153236385>120 millionAlmost sounds like a lot of opportunity for shady pocketing by several levels of the company bureaucracy.The Ankama animated movie Dofus Book 1 Julith had a lot of high effort action scenes and cost 8.8 million USD to make at the time. I'm not saying the Avatar movie cost was ever going to be under 30mil or so, but hmm...
>>153236161Yeah that was a really cool moment, I was worried they'd ruin it by having katara give another speech about hope but it didn't and Im happy. This story is really, really good for Aangc character
>>153236364>I'm kinda astounded at /co/ being this critical and nuanced, normally this board aggressively deepthroats anything mediocre we get.I don't even normally post on /co/, this getting leaked was enough to bring me "back." I imagine you're getting a fair bit of crossboarding because of this, so maybe it's literally just different people than what you usually see.It's a 6/10 because of the visuals, having a somewhat coherent plot, and a few moments made me chuckle (mainly Toph, Sokka is so unfunny in this). It's barely entertaining enough for its run time, before it goes full retard awkwardly rushing him into villain status and morphing him into the genie from Disney's Aladdin.
I've always loved the idea of an evil avatar, not that dark avatar bullshit they did in Korra, but rather an avatar who mastered all four elements and then he decided fuck it might makes right and I'm the mightiest and just started being a conquering warlord dickheadThere must have been bad avatars along the way, the worst we ever saw was that water tribe guy and his crime was he was kinda lazy I guess
>>153236382Pavi is Korra's direct successor, though according to the leaks she was born a long time after Korra's death instead of right after.
>>153236382>“A young Earthbender discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity’s destroyer, not its savior.”This only makes me wonder what the timeline is. The world has been fucked for quite a while. Did Korra survive the apocalypse and hide for decades until she kicked the bucket? I saw the concept art, the world can't have been fucked for only nine years.
>>153236222this one is 2gib the torrent is 3gib, I wonder who has the original
>>153236222>2 gigsWhy so compressed?
>>153236396There's thousands of them I think they can afford a few
>>153236481>according to the leaks she was born a long time after Korra's death instead of right after.Which part of the leak said that? I don't remember that.
>>153236497I wonder what exactly happened. I mean, it's most likely related to the spirit realm gates which would explain the Avatar hate, but what specifically resulted in the cataclysm.
>>153236457Same here, I haven't posted in /co/ in at least four years.I can't imagine how much shittier this board has gotten since then now that Invincible, Digital Circus, Hazbin Hotel and other dogshit are a thing, plus 4chan losing half of its users after the hack>>153236497Oh god they're gonna string the audience along with the mystery of>what happened here? how did Korra fuck up this time?only for it to turn out to not have been Korra's fault at all and it's some spirit bullshit nonsense
>enhanced senses multiply the feeling of getting fucked by an insane degree>especially touching someone else in a tender embrace and feeling their pulse constantly must be soothing, turning to excitement as she can feel it speeding up>lets herself get enveloped in someone else almost entirely, rare showing of serious vulnerability for her>could fuck anyone she wanted and dudes would consider it an honor to fuck the greatest Earthbender in the world>slight chip on her shoulder about not being 'traditionally' feminine along with insane repression and daddy issues because of her upbringingI'm genuinely not surprised Toph takes insane amounts of dick, the elements were all there for "daddy's perfect little girl gets away from her parents and finally gets to slut out"I'd expect Azula to probably do the same honestly
>>153236385The Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer movies combined together cost a little less than 40 million usd to produce
Kataang was the original sin of the Avatar franchise; everything went to shit when they picked it over Zutara.
This movie made me sad that Taang wasnt canon Sigh
why did tagah fade away when aang broke the staff
did anyone else get annoyed by how awful the voice acting was in the first half of the movie? I can't tell if it got better midway through or I just stopped paying too much attention but the start felt so fucking wooden and flat that all I could think about was how much I fucking hate EN voice acting.other than that the movie was pretty mediocre. Plot was kind of dumb and dude actually being evil dude was really obvious. All the forced cameo "LOOK BROS YOU REMEMBER THIS? HOW ABOUT THIS? YOU REMEMBER THIS TOO RIGHT?" was really fucking annoying and all the fake bullshit morality crap was also just so badly written. "What do you MEAN you were trying to kill those people that were trying their absolute best to kill us? What's wrong with you!" like bruh. The only reason there was a fight in any of this was because team avatar "refused" to kill anyone while anyone they fought had full intention to kill them. End result is that a city got fucking demolished.The only saving grace was Toph being the absolute best.
>>153236642I genuinely think Aang wouldn't be able to handle her
>>153236385I decided to @grok to see what the original show likely cost and it estimated $55 million total for all 61 episodes. It also revealed to me the most searched "can you" questions which are really fucking funny.
chad sokka >>>> everything else
Test.
>yeah it was kinda shit but my favorite character had a couple of cool moments so I liked itThat seems to be the general consensus around the movie
>>153236649>voice actingshit pisses me off to no end because aside from Aang's OG voice actor pretty much all of the actors are still around and probably would've been down to voice the characters again, and it would've WORKED because they're all older tooI'm especially surprised they didn't get Dante Basco to come back at least, he's fucking Filipino so they don't even have an anti-white people excuse (not that not wanting to cast white people because 'muh asians need roles' is a valid excuse anyway, especially for an established IP)
How come Katara didn't call Aang sweetie in this movie?
>>153236702It's 2026 bro, a straight woman cannot show affection for her husband on screen because it's like gay genocide or something
>>153236693my favorite didn't.
>>153236577Also>has a complex about her looks (makeup story from Tales of Ba Sing Se) so being seen as hot and desirable is a huge turn on for her
>>153236166The movie is fucking good animation and visual wiseWay better than anything JAPAN shat out from the recent yearsThe animation really reminds me of BAs 6th PV which is fucking amazing its like watching what a Blue Archive flick supposed to be likeIts just the shitty story about team avatar struggling against a discount Zaheer and the denieds being forgotten and irrelevant. They couldve picked a much bigger threat like a goddamn evil Avatar which spirit got stuck in the spirit world and wants to genocide all of fire nation but nah lets go with Zaheer’s lil twin
>>153236693The only cool moment with my fav was him getting his ass whopped
>>153236695Apparently south east asian isn't asian enough for an asian character. They had to get a korean to play what should essentially be a japanese person. It's a joke .They actually got so woke they wrapped right back around into being racist again.All that said, I do feel like if they brought back ONLY Dante people would still be pissed off because like why bring him back and then no one else.
>>153236693It's sad that the current state of digital entertainment is so dire that people will give a passing grade to just about anything so long as it has a moment or character they enjoy.
>>153236642Pretty sure all of this is canon because they don't care anymoreThere's stuff directly from the comics
>>153236725No Katara was pretty touchy feely with Aang this whole movie. I noticed because it made me feel that feel when no watertribe wife. They just cooled it down with the pet names after 10 years.
>>153236695He's the wrong flavor of asian though.It's so fucking retarded. Samurai Jack was voiced by a black guy and nobody gives a shit because his voice fits the character.>>153236745Why is everything 3D now? How did this not break Zuko's back?
>>153236677I liked this scene and I like the biking showing up at the end That does feel in line with the original show
>>153236113Zoomers would've grown up on atla too though? I remember the more annoying korra fans being cat lady-tier cringellennials, not that there aren't contraians among gen z. >>153236133Such a fucking shame when you compare it to the making of doc for atla and the work they put in to make the fights grounded in martial arts.https://youtu.be/vdw6YmO8q_k?si=TQKZiuLOi_urw507
>>153236345>five second shot of 'muh cabbages'>REEEE FUCKING MEMBERBERIES THIS ENTIRE MOVIE IS RUINED FOR ME NOW!! FUCK!!
>>153236571>only for it to turn out to not have been Korra's fault at all and it's some spirit bullshit nonsense100%
>>153236766It did, he was revived
>>153236766>How did this not break Zuko's back?His back is strengthened from carrying season 3
>>153236725Nigga she literally reenacted the Renton-Eureka sky jump thing, doesn't get more romantic than that. I get your point somewhat but this isn't a good example of it.
>>153236732Sokka invented flight AGAIN.
>>153236702Aang was too hot and bothered about Tagah to notice
>>153236693Toph got multiple good scenes but I still hated this movie and its korra-lite bullshit. I am not easily swayed by decent/good animation.
>>153236778>korra reaction imageexposed yourself
>>153236577Go marry an actual blind girl and report back, this is not a snide just do it.
>>153236725They literally made out like multiple times you victim complex retard
>>153236793sokka felt more like a flanderized varrick in this movie than actually sokka. he's ridiculously high energy, coming up with a wacky invention, and basically never has a serious moment the entire time when one of sokka's original character traits was that he could very easily take himself too seriously and thought he was cooler than he was. he delivered a lot of his best lines with a straight face while i feel like the animators saw this sokka's face as a stretchy stim toy.
All they had to do was push Tagah's betrayal back to the point Aang got the staff and flip the fight order
>>153236754>>153236773Older zoomersYounger zoomers were barely born yet when AtLA finished airing
>>153236745at some points it feels like they were literally just giving this dude moves for the fighting game lol
>here, savoring some ancient cum.
>>153234479In case you're curious as to why nonbender conflicts have been a consistent throughline (the video game, TLOK, TLOK's video game, the comics, and now this movie), there's a few reasons for it:>Bryke are libertarians, if not full blown Objectivists (who somehow simp for the government anyway)>Bryke are afraid of making fans of any particular faction too upset, so nonbenders are the bad guys>Bryke choose to neglect that bending requires a spiritual-cultural component to function>Bryke genuinely see nonbenders as inferior to benders UNLESS they're capitalists (ignoring the fact that ATLA shows that the average bender isn't as powerful as people imagine)
>>153236846ATLA got a fuckton of reruns
>>153236758>that feel when no watertribe wifeI fell for brazilian miku meme and married oneIt's okay, she didn't much care for the movie
>>153236831AtLA spent time making Sokka an asshole, turning him into comic relief, and then making him mature and become capable and respectable while still having funThen the comics made him immature and again, they even made him look younger. I do like his wacky inventions though, he'd still be into that
I have a bit of controversy question.Was the original voice actors of Avatar fired or their contract ends and wasn't rehire?
>>153236197>>153236133>>153236773This shit bothers me a lot. It removes the fights from any sense of being grounded and serious and it's become omnipresent in not just modern anime but even western shows as well. Watch anything Netflix and every fight scene is characters somersaulting through the air 9000 times while using super elite martial arts moves like they are Sun Wukong or something. I feel like it's a marketing thing so youtubers can watch it and make reaction videos where they soiface and screech over how epic it is.The worst part is that I never see it brought up anywhere outside of this site and when I do, everyone else just gives some reductive dipshit response like>uh well duh they have powers dumbass>>153236853Yea everything is a fucking Xiao Xiao animation now.>>153236778NTA but being hyperbolic to defend something lame is peak faggot behavior.
>>153236870You married a Brazilian because of Twitter meme? You sought out a relationship based on favelafever?
>>153236846I can see that for some zoomers born towards the end of the 2000s but LoK popularity was tanking and got shoved online towards the end of its run. Even now it still isn't THAT popular among zoom netflix when it got added to netflix.
>>153236831There's at minimum two levels of supervision above the animators that tell them how to treat each character and directing them on how they should look during the back and forth between Avatar Studios and the animation team, so the brains at Avatar Studios were just not that detail oriented in general
What if Tagah had a child with somebody, would they have also disappeared if the staff was broken?
>>153235397>>153236071It's been like this since Korra, Korra they got REALLY FUCKING LAZY with their choreography and now they're not even trying anymore and don't even pretend they give a shit about the martial arts
>>153236222>not even an hourYeah, they're here
>>153235692What parts did Studio Mir work on? Because I notice the background characters like these have nostrils, while the MCs don't anymore.
>>153236747>They had to get a korean to play what should essentially be a japanese personIt's sad that this isn't the first time that's happened. Being so woke to replace the VA only to get the wrong ethnicity, it's ironic in a way.
>>153236861You're the only other guy besides me who spotted this shit and doesn't just scream commie libtard because "muh brown lesbo" or "muh antiwhite"Korra has a very fucking neoliberal messaging and a very fucking nonchalant view of arms trading and war and an heiress that most people assumed was gonna be a villain, the nonbender conflict is retarded because they have retarded views on people who disagree with them ie inspired by Occupy Wall Street, seeing them as uppity radicals. So of course Amon ended the way he ended.But MUH LESBIANS OMG THEY HATE WHITE PEOPLE
>>153236890A colombian weeb girl with a fat ass and nice perky tits, yeahAt the time the meme was making the rounds and we had been talking beforehand and I knew she liked and I thought to myself "why not? brown skin is kind of attractive" and now she's my wife
Other than fly a blimp, what the fuck did Zuko do ?Man, what a fucking waste. Also, where is Mai ?
>>153233955need updated link please i was in the shitposting mines and only heard about the leak now
>>153236929I hate your guts but at the same time I wish you all the best.
>>153236933I never did finish the comics didn't Zuko get cucked by a literal fucking whoDon't remember if that was before or after finding out his mother was a fucking whore
>>153235970Building the "hype" with trailers most likely.
Whos got a working link
>>153236875oh god i forgot that bryke were solely in charge of the comics and how they ended up handling sokka. honestly though i feel like even in his very very very brief appearance in korra, sokka was handled better than this and that was also bryke working solo. he was proud of himself and showing off a bit talking about his boomerang, but he still took the situation at hand seriously.
So we've established her name is Kallik?
another night of katara playing with her cumbending
>>153236962I didn't know this movie was coming out until they leaks they were doing a fucking terrible job in shilling this thing's existence
>>153236883>The worst part is that I never see it brought up anywhere outside of this site and when I do, everyone else just gives some reductive dipshit response like>>uh well duh they have powers dumbassI know exactly what you mean but its nothing new among people who just consume whatever is in front of them as long as its flashy. Here or small forum with a media section are the only places where you can discuss things like that. It's nice to see other anons notice it too.
>who was Zuko's Fire Lady?>are Sokka & Suki still a thing?>who are the fathers of Toph's daughters?Notice how they stayed far away from answering these questions so they could keep stringing people along into maybe buying their shitty comicbooks
>>153236975The denied were so fucking stupid and underused to the point that it actively pisses me off. Why give them so much screen time when all they did was turn into mooks for the big bad? And then they didn't even give a real reason why they suddenly took her in because she didn't fucking DO ANYTHING to show that she wasn't a bad person to them.
>>153236921There's a handful of TLOK critical videos that tackle how neoliberal the story is, so it's nice to see that there's another anon who is aware of how stupid Bryke are.I think what baffles me is how the nonbenders are compared to Communists when they don't even have a real ideology/philosophy, or even disagree with capitalism. And it feels incredibly stupid considering how Avatar pulls from Asia, a region known for being collectivist and not having capitalism for most of its modern existence (compared to Europe, at least).The thing about Asami was that she WAS meant to be a villain, and Varrick wasn't meant to turn into a good guy either.The funny part about Amon is that there's some evidence that the twist with his familial relation and identity as a Waterbender was a last minute change:>Amon's scar makeup is way too detailed to be special effects>Amon (and his brother) as a child inherited his father's post-surgery Water Tribe facial features, which doesn't make any sense>nothing about Amon in concept art remotely hints towards being a bender>either Brian or Mike's blog talking about how they avoid "predictable writing" and comparing it to a rollercoaster ride, hence the twist villains in TLOK
>>153236883>This shit bothers me a lot. It removes the fights from any sense of being grounded and serious and it's become omnipresent in not just modern anime but even western shows as well. Watch anything Netflix and every fight scene is characters somersaulting through the air 9000 times while using super elite martial arts moves like they are Sun Wukong or something.I just realized we're seeing the exact same thing that happened to Jedi and lightsaber fights from the original Star Wars trilogy to the prequel trilogy >The worst part is that I never see it brought up anywhere outside of this site and when I do, everyone else just gives some reductive dipshit response like>uh well duh they have powers dumbassEven on /co/(some would say especially, this convo is just an exception), you get shit like that. A lot of people treat bending as generic superpowers with no rules, and on 4chan it's a "fake anime" so taking it seriously can get you shat on, and knowing "fire bending = northern shaolin, water bending = fast tai chi, earth bending = hung gar etc" becomes obscure knowledge despite even fucking Nicktoons reminding you that a lot back in the dayAnd of course, sometimes you're just afraid of sperging out and correcting people
>>153236929>zutara irlNoiceMake her a mom at least 3 times
>>153236993Nah they definitely did it because they dgaf about any other pairing that isn't Kataang.
you know, the real funny part is that aang didn't actually have to do anything.if he just let "the denied" fuck off with the map and done NOTHING they would've just gotten fucked up by the infinite storm. Even if they somehow managed to break in, they would neither have been able to locate OR get the staff.He could've just fucking sat on his ass and eaten a burrito instead. None of any of this actually had to happen.
>>153234766That's not what Miura (Berserk's author) told us
>>153237014Dude, Korra is the fucking show where a crown prince suddenly goes>you know what? I thought it over and realized monarchy is le bad, I'm gonna invent democracy nowout of the fucking blue to cap off one of the seasons
>>153237038There was also the secondary motivation of reviving the airbenders. Actually, that's probably the primary motivation with the Denied just being a plot device to reveal that to him. Now he'll just have to revive the airbenders the old fashioned way.
>>153237041Based
>>153235822Air - Flight.
the denied knew about the staff but not the avatar?
Let’s be honest we’d probably rate the movie higher if the voice acting wasn’t dogshit
>>153235822Air has flight, vacuum space, and apparently, they can basically make lasers by super heating the air molecules what Taga did in his fight against everyone.
>>153237075Secondary motivation only came in AFTER he unlocked discount Zaheer which was only found after he started looking.>>153237089The Denied knowing about the staff and them not explaining how is one of the like, thirty problems with the writing.
Taga is such an OC character; he's the only person who did impressive bending in the movie. Even Aang only beat him by doing a stupid air bullet redirect followed by super avatar state.
>>153237041>Berserk's author was THIS basedCan't wait to see Berserk "fans" find out this information.
>>153237014>I think what baffles me is how the nonbenders are compared to Communists when they don't even have a real ideology/philosophy, or even disagree with capitalism. And it feels incredibly stupid considering how Avatar pulls from Asia, a region known for being collectivist and not having capitalism for most of its modern existence (compared to Europe, at least).My ideal 20th century Avatar would be more Chinese Civil War and end with using chi/energy for technology akin to nuclear energy, idkThe nonbender conflict in Avatar feels almost ethnic considering how bending depends on your parents and birth,which just kinda shows how Bryke didn't know how to do their metaphors. They just wanted some uppity protesters to be the bad guys, and the series ends with all these ideologies being called gay and lame and western neoliberal democracy being the champion. It's as American as you can get, and yet people just see the lesbian hand holding
>>153236288The problem with nonbenders is that Bryke want fantasy racism ala X-Men with normies versus empowered humans, only with the same Objectivist-neoliberal spin found in Incredibles (exceptional people are being held down by THE NORMIES), but:>normies vs super-people is a concept that was born in the psychic sci-fi pulp fiction genre>unlike recent depictions, classic psychic sci-fi stories (think Akira or Elfen Lied or Carrie) are all about how normies and psychics will NEVER get along, and these stories always end in exile or genocideRead Slan or the Baldies. Humans are right to want other humans with superpowers dead because the latter poses an undeniable existential threat to the former. Slan is literally about how psychics (slans) were engineered by a human scientist to take over the world, with a massive war breaking out where both sides tried to genocide the other. A big plot point revolves around humans trying to genocide slans while the surviving "false" Slans try to actively murder the protagonist, a true Slan.The ending is a "happy" one where the Slans end up taking over the world, with the main character posed to be a successor to the benevolent dictator of mankind (who is revealed to be a false Slan).
>>153236778>bro foaming mouth guy>bro Roku>bro Lion Turtles>bro the Ocean Spirit looks like how it did at the end of Book 1those are just the ones that immediately came to mind
>>153237108he's the definition of a writer's pet OC donut.
>>153237089why did the avatar hide the staff in a place no one would ever find it, but there's still a map to find it, especially if the only ones who could know of its whereabouts are the other avatars, who she never contacted
Who the fuck was the voice actor for the villain? He was so fucking terrible. I hope. I never hear him as a voice actor again.
So if Toph can see everyone head to toe, can she see every guy's dick? Like she constantly has everyone's cock visualized in her brain. I bet she picks her mate by dicksize. Like she can walk around the market, sense a guy with a massive schlong, grab him and take him to her breeding lair where she brutally reverse mating press him
I'll wait for the AI voice dub
>>153237128Dave Bautista
>Jobs to the Denied>Jobs to Zaheer>Jobs to Zaheer AGAIN>Does one fucking trick to get the staff back and goes super saiyan and then MUH POWER CORRUPTS bullshitTrash movie>his name is TagahNo
>>153236929I also hate your guts but don't wish you the best
hi toph, you can bend my hard-rock cock with your massive tits.
>>153237128interesting, I thought he was better than the rest of the cast though that's an incredibly low bar because I have a low opinion of the voices in generalalso the VA is Dave Bautista, the wrestler and the same guy that played Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies
The new series should be following up on Kallik and Aang having a secret child to repopulate the air nomads
>>153236993Oh no they went with adventuring to mountains and islands and fighting an ancient guy and the spirit world instead of boring relationship TRASH
Are there any other movies planned? Ignore the fact that they'll probably get canned when this movie makes no money.
>>153237116My ideal 20th century Avatar would be something similar, but mirror the Cold War with the Earth Kingdom as the CCCP/USSR and the Fire Nation as Japan-America. Similar idea with nuclear power, except it's like spirit magical crap like with Naruto.>Aang made Republic City as a solarpunk bender utopia where everything revolves around bending, as a symbol of unity and non-duality and healing from the scars of the war>on paper, this is a good idea>in practice, nonbenders are second-class citizens and fucked over by social stratification imported by the FN and EK nobilityKinda like MGS in how wars are more covert and smaller in scale. Nobody is willing to risk an open war, especially due to advancements in technology (namely poisonous gas and bombs, and rumors of something "radioactive"), the trauma of the 100 Year War, and benders growing stronger with every new generation thanks to increased living standards and literacy rates improving.
>>153237129>Toph constantly senses every dude in like a mile radius that's packing, especially bad in crowds when they're all so close to her>has to restrain herself from jumping a guy she's talking to right there on the spot because she can literally FEEL how big his dick is
>>153236943>>153237028Thanks, brosI hope you find your own one day too
I never seen Legend of Korra, but this movie was packed with really good action and story, should i give it a go?
>>153237193>Similar idea with nuclear power, except it's like spirit magical crap like with Naruto.Like how all the bending is based on something, I think hypothetical spirit tech should be based on feng shui and the controlling of chi, energy in the atmosphere. It should be like generic energy blasts you see in traditional wuxia or the anime inspired by it, this vague aether or energy. It's hard to describe without it potentially sounding cringe Naruto fascinated me as a kid but the world felt way more anachronistic and unsure of what the hell it was. I should rewatch Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow one dayAnyways iyam bending should've never been strictly genetic. Bryke wouldn't be constantly coming up with mcguffins or spirit shenanigans randomly giving people bending if they just looked at it like a martial arts or reaching enlightenment, but that might be a too insane idea for the series
I love all the crossposting we're doing with /tv/, particularly the fetish posts
>>153237234There's some Korraisms in the movie, like the colorful spirit shit, how the spirit world is depicted, and it follows Korra's depiction of bending being anime action and superhero punches rather than original's martial arts So if that's your thing, you might like it
>>153237234Sure, if you really enjoyed this movie then Korra will be right up your alley
>>153237234No, god no. It doesn't seem so bad at first, but unless you just kinda eat stuff up for the sake of it, Korra really gets full blown retarded - both the series and the character's decision making.
>>153237234Unironically yes. It's so bad it's good.
Can you sexual deviants go and jerk off before coming here? We are having a serious discussion shitting on this garbage and all you can think of is sex cock tits pussy. Like im talking to a bunch of indians.
>>153237122Aang also summoned that wind-fire-rock-water bubble he used in the final fight against Ozai, it's almost easy to miss because it's very brief. I don't know why it's so goddamn referential and cameo-heavy. Did they think we forgot about all that stuff? Are they so out of ideas they have to use the elemental bubble for fight against the new guy?? It just cheapens the whole thing in both directions.
>>153237237creative insanity should be embraced, things should go full early SW or be like Dragon Ball where ANYONE can learn bending/cultivate chi and magic, wuxia style>nonbenders living on the industrialized outskirts of Republic City accidentally end up cracking the source code of reality>whoops.jpg>books are passed around in secret teaching people how to train >this information eventually becomes public and changes warfareKinda like Doc Savage or classic Wonder Woman where anyone can just...become crazy strong and smart if they try hard enough.There's also the transhumanist angle. Combustion Man is a fucking fantasy cyborg, you can't tell me an Avatar version of Kamen Rider wouldn't be running around in Korra's time.
>>153237234The first season is okayEverything else is bullshit
>>153237143>>153237161Why the fuck does Hollywood keep hiring him? He’s an average actor at best, but he’s a horrible, fucking voice actor.
Main complaints:> Dave Bautista makes an Air Scooter when he saves Aang from falling. This is nonsensical, Aang invented the air scooter and it's the technique that earned him his master tattoos. Canonically no one had ever done this before Aang.> Aang dies in the Avatar state and nothing happens. We've seen what this looks like in the Season 2 finale this is inconsistent with established canon, even if he was brought back and it should be taken longer for him to come to. Last time this happened he was in a coma for months.> Everything has too much backlighting> Dave Bautista is Asian enough to be in Avatar because he's Filipino but Dante Brasco isn't Asian enough to be in Avatar because he's Filipino. I will not let this go, we are owed an apology.> It's dumb that the denied become instant masters of airbending. Even the avatar has to train for a long time to master bending.> > If they were going to do an Airbender Avatar they should've either used Yangchen if they wanted a girl or made it a male Airbender Avatar. This new girl just detracts from her and is something we've already seen. Another make Airbender Avatar would've been hype> The denied girls would've worked better if they were father and son> I wish Republic City wasn't around quite yet and we could still see some awkwardness among the fire nation colonies> The voice actors are just not it. They should've never replaced the main cast> Aang should've summoned the Lion Turtle instead of the ocean spirit> The staff doesn't make sense, they should've had some folktale backstory about it being made out of a special tree or something> Iroh, Suki, Azula, and Ty Lee should've all been in it
>>153237297> We should've seen Karara come back to live, realize about the spirit water, and then revive the others rather than be told it happened off camera. Not only is this a better scene it's more in line with how it would've played out in the show> The guys from the Southern Air Temple should've made a cameo helping Aang collect Air Nomad relics> Katara should've been pregnant by the end of the film. They should've also addressed the elephant in the room about why she wasn't pregnant already if Aang was that emo about being the last Airbender.> The kids are the South Pole were acting like water bending was too normalized for how little time passed> Instead of Sokka coming in on his flying bike they should've moved that scene elsewhere and had the full moon come out and Katara bloodbend the denied> Aang should've transformed into the forgotten avatar right before Dave Bautista dies> Taika Watiti was out of character for how spirits work
Toph the CockbenderShe never fully settles down because she's too busy perfecting her technique>earth is hard>metal is harder>my cock when Toph gives me a smug grin
You people do remember Avatar made a crossover with Magic the Gathering recently, right?This was the start of a new marketing push for the franchise and the leak just fucked those plans
>>153237234Only if you're pretty curious to watch the action scenes and you're mentally prepared for disappointing stories, and you want full context for why Bryke have been called stupid idiots for many years. At one future point, there will be 2 decades' worth of people calling Bryke stupid idiots because they don't take proper responsibility in giving animators some good and satisfying story and character writing to animate. There are also some unintentionally funny moments in Korra here and there
>>153236966>>153237028HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY
Peak. It's so fucking peak.
Is the leak really that bad for paramount? I mean they were gonna release it on paramount plus so surely it wouldn'tve made much money otherwise
>>153237350Busty toph boobs will be the standard.
more big tiddy toph edits
Every straight to streaming movie should be leaked early and pirated exclusivelyIt's morally correctFuck Paramount
>>153237282>things should go full early SW or be like Dragon Ball where ANYONE can learn bending/cultivate chi and magic, wuxia styleThat's a thing those series got right. In fact I think it's perfect for martial arts stories where a big part is about training and getting better and how almost anyone can do it, as long as they dedicate themselves to getting better.It's ironic because this clashes with a lot of objectivist influenced stories. Those are somehow perfect for superhero stories but not theseAnyways, basically in my mind, if you want that radical new ideology sweeping the masses like Bryke wants(even though benders are part of the masses), it should be some new spiritual movement of people training and realizing something akin to bending, and combine with the Earth Queen being seen as weak you basically have a fantasy Chinese Civil War. You rarely see wuxia pushed into the 20th century, and i mean the more fantastical parts of it with chi blasts and spiritual parts of being merged with technology. And the chi/feng shui tech can be some radical new science. I'll write this shit down one day, I swear.>There's also the transhumanist angle. Combustion Man is a fucking fantasy cyborg, you can't tell me an Avatar version of Kamen Rider wouldn't be running around in Korra's time.that does sound coolCombustion Man also reminds me that Avatar should still have some stuff that leaves you asking "wtf"
>>153237349They have the merger with Warner Brothers Discovery looming over their heads and this leak is just an unnecessary headacheAnd if they really planned to release it in theaters and pulled out due to this leak then they have the extra egg on their face of all those recent anime movies that made bank at the box office
no seriously fellas could anyone share a new link
>>153237297>Aang dies in the Avatar stateHe lost control of the avatar state before he died.
Who keeps leaking shit from corporations? Schizo part of me thinks that they're doing it themselves but I can't see the benefit other than some strange sort of advertising or promotion
>>153236810>korra reaction imageProblem, chud?
>>153237282>>153237237Your ideas are shit.I mean true, randomly giving people bending is shit too, but what you guys propose literally nukes the setting.Bending being related to genetics, your country and culture is one of the best worldbuilding aspects and allowed each nation to be deeply build with that in mind. It also makes the entire plot WORK.
>>153237431No he gets hit with Dave Bautista's special beam canon and the glowing light fades from his eyes as he dies. That's exactly what happened when Azula one shorted him in the back with lightning. If he "lost control" of it (never happened before btw) he would've lost the glowing eyes and tattoos before he got hit.
>>153237170Zaheer
>>153237446Another anon said Paramount never fixed all their security problems and the only movie that didn't have a leak was Invader Zim, which was sent to Netflix
>>153237446
What the fuck up was with the climax of the story.The denied were like a group of 50-100 seething non-benders at most right? How the fuck did they do a take-over of Republic City. Or at the very least, why the hell did nobody fight back and help the people/city being destroyed by the Denied? Are you seriously telling me that there were no Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom or Fire Nation benders/combatants stationed there at the time? Did Aang or Zuko seriously not implement some kind of town guard?
>>153237460>I mean true, randomly giving people bending is shit too, but what you guys propose literally nukes the setting.So you mean we can get hired for Seven Havens?
The forgotten avatar should’ve been the villain instead of the air guy
>>153237446There's been a bunch of hacks lately. Denuvo has been cracked, Windows has a crap ton of exploits that require HyperV enabled to mitigate, not even Apple is that secure when iPhones getting remote hijacked by email. Software isn't as secure as it used to be in the age of AI and non memory safe programming languages.
>>153237460I agree but Air Nomads have always been a little weird in that literally all of them are benders (they would have to be because they all live in the Air Temples and you have to be a bender to get there and literally just to walk around on the temple or open doors.) I could accept the idea that they came from different cultures or better yet that they gave their non-bender children up for adoption (both are kind of messed up honestly, but I like the idea that Ty Lee is descended from Air Benders that couldn't bend because she does look a lot like Aang and I remember a lot of people having that theory and wondering why all the Air Nomads could bend back in the day) they could've done something with that.
>>153237429search gofile in the archives. its on page one.
>>153237468Ah you're right. He even had the open-eyed dead stare.
So Katara splits the ocean like Moses did and now she ressurects people from the dead even if it's been a long time, cool
>>153237487Yeah but that would've been weird to pull off even if Aang flight him in the spirit world. I also think it's dumb that he died when they broke the staff. He was preserved the same way Aang was, he's alive. The plot was just a bunch of cliches so they didn't even think about the logistics of the video game boss fight death.
>>153237498I don't know all the Avatar lore but I used to assume there were small villages of non benders somewhere around the air temples that farm and fish peacefully, and sometimes sent food to their monasteries like what some rural buddhist communities are/were like
>>153237498My headcanon is also that they had a peasant servant caste and they also gave up nonbender children. Kinda like how Tibetan buddhist hierarchy. Also the Earth Kingdom literally has water benders in them Air Temples too.
sex
>>153237409I'm disappointed that we still don't have aliens in Avatar yet, even though Star Wars and several sci-fi 90s anime like NGE and FLCL were big influences on ATLA.We should have a spirit who merges with a nonbender to become not-Ultraman, saving the world from alien kaiju.>>153237460There's the argument to be made had Bryke not got their way, Avatar was inevitably going to tackle how the idea of bending having barriers was an illusion>benders can learn multiple bending styles>bending was taught by the animals (note how originally, the Avatar was the Spirit of the planet itself)>even with TLOK, a scientific grounding still exists with bending, it's just the manipulation of energy in different forms and in different ways>the forgotten theme of "everything is connected" and Aang's arc briefly touching on how non-dualism is a thing>>153237498That theory was canonized by the TTRPG. Ty Lee really is descended from Air Benders, and a lot of Fire Nation citizens who had their bending unlocked in TLOK were those with Air Nomad ancestry. Air Nomads who had settled into the Fire Nation BEFORE the genocide had children, and without anyone to teach their descendants bending, the practice died (and any children who were born Air Nomads were either killed on the spot, or forced to hide it until again, the lack of spiritual connection and training effectively killed Airbending).
>zuko's ending slide is him with iroh>no wife>no daughterhaha, if you say so.
>>153237544Unless it's primarily a comedy show, aliens are marked with the expectations that a show is thoughtlessly reaching for the bottom of the barrel just to find novelty and bring in hyper levels of powercreep/powerleveling
>>153237498My interpretation is that Air Nomads were originally Indo-Aryan warlords and were ruled by Hindu-like materialism until the first Avatar Air Nomad became the equivalent of the Buddha, with his followers kicking out nonbenders and involving eugenics as a form of penance and safety measure so no Airbender culture ever goes crazy again like how the Earthbenders or Firebenders often do. Eventually, the population got so small that the only children being born were benders, with the non-bending gene being drowned out.Perhaps there really WAS a tyrannical Air Empire at some point in the ancient past, and that's why the Air Nomads cling to non-violence and peace even at the cost of their own lives.
Is the whole movie nothing but closeups? It looks like it's AI.
>>153237376
>>153237549Zuko is either unironically correcting Azula with his cock (like that one interview) or gonna marry someone for political reasons since Mai didn't work out

Saw it, good movie. Probably the best thing we've gotten since the OG series, even if that bar isnt high. I enjoyed it a lot. Animation was phenomenal. And it gave us this cutie too.Seven Havens still looks and sounds dumb so im not looking forward to that, but any more new movies? Sure sign me up
This movie's lighting and color design is good. But some of the animation looks weird. Like a layering issue
shame it got pulled from theatersdefinitely would have benefited from the oomph of the big screen
>>153237480Anon theres a giant fucking temple falling out of the sky about to crush everyone. Benders aren't thinking "let's fight back!" They're getting the hell out of there
The biggest boon to the movie is that everyone is sexy as hell
The biggest issue i have with the film is Sokka. They seriously cannot write good comic relief anymore. Not a single one of his jokes made me smile.He felt more like Bolin than Sokka ever did.
>>153237312>> The kids are the South Pole were acting like water bending was too normalized for how little time passedSouth Pole always had water benders they just got taken away whenever they were found. It being normalized isn't an issue because the threat (fire nation) is gone.
>>153237706Everything visual in general was really good, it was just bad writing dragging the whole movie downThis kind of shit writing is why no one likes Korra
>>153237113Everyone in /a/ already knows at least, you cannot have a Berserk thread without at least 2 anons bringing up that he was a lolicon, drew loli art and defended loli porn just like you can't have a Kenshin thread without anons bringing up that Watsuki (Kenshin's author) was an actual pedo who owned over 100 real life cheese pizza DVDs and said "LOL, I like girls between 13 and 14 years old" when he was arrested
>>153237623phishing is so easy it's a joke. half the calls i get whenever someone sends us a email circulates through at least 100 people the call queue without fails gets jacked up for hours all for the same thing. i don't see everything behind the scenes so idk what CISO is doing but everyone else doesn't give a fuck. they reinstall windows and restore everything from backup. i saw one ticket from an agent note that they opened a pdf and went to a website, entered their creds on said site, and spent 5 mins trying to make a new one, and all they did was change their windows pw. one of our sites can be taken down by a simple http flood from a single host, not a 429 for a particular user mind you, the entire fucking server 429's for everyone, admins, devs, test environment, EVERYTHING LOL>t. help desk
>>153233955I hate this fucking movie and im glad it got leaked mainly for the sole fact that they didnt include ty lee or azula at all in it. Fuck those faggots for not making a direct sequel to ATLA in the first place all those years ago and waiting nearly 20 years for this shitty movie to do what shouldve been done instead of korra. Also was adult toph hot in the movie at least?
>>153237745Kenshin was kino still
>>153235542Hey I would gladly support this in theatres if it were to come out, despite already seeing it. But I'm not fucking paying Paramount for their streaming service, after pulling it.The animators all did an amazing job, and I hope the studio is able to continue to make more Avatar movies.
Just finished idk why people were calling this bad it was a nice little side story. I wish Suki had a scene with Sokka tho and even a glimpse of Azula would be nice. Does anyneone know HOW canon the comics are? Toph's students show up but I'm pretty sure Aang already had Air Acolytes in the comics but the movie acts like this is a new thing?
>>153237756>was toph hotdepends on your taste in musclegirls
>Xitter leaker uploads whole movie>Paramount takes it down>Uploads it again>Paramount also takes it down>It was actually a 1.5 hour long video of Omni-Man saying "Are you sure?" on loop
>>153234654its ironic that they already had a literal full blooded and raised asian who played Zuko and Paramount even still insisted on recasting him to get that "full celeb lineup" lmao
>>153237797This just looks gross. This looks like roided up dude with silicone tits.
>>153237544Star Wars' influence was ragtag rebels vs an empire, a la Jet and the freedom fighters Fooly Cooly's influence was some of the animation style and humorI know they watched NGE but I don't really know what its influence was on the series besides Bumi looking like an EvaI don't like the idea of aliens in Avatar, the rest of the influences tend to be strictly fantasy like Princess Mononoke, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, even Lord of the Rings >>bending was taught by the animals (note how originally, the Avatar was the Spirit of the planet itself)It was very shamanastic which i liked
>>153237349its evident that paramount doesnt even give a fuck about the film anymore it wasnt even hyped or even teased months prior to its release
>>153237534>>153237544O.K. I like this. This should've been given more attention.>>153237607That could work but to me it's a little off brand. It seems like the original benders got that way from being in tune with the spirits and nature and imitating the various animal that had vending abilities. I like the idea more that the airbenders just naturally acquired a light and airy personality from the process and it turned into their culture. I wouldn't go so far to say that killing takes away their bending or anything, but the idea of tyrannical Air Nomads seems too OOC. I could get behind singular ones or even a small cell of rogue Air Nomads. Maybe based out of one Air Temple we haven't really heard a lot about. If for no other reason than I would like to see an Air Nomad that rips the air out of people's lungs. It's such an OP move, especially when most forms of bending require regulated breathing.>>153237613Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were laying the groundwork for a transition to AI so people won't notice the difference
>>153235551Wait, I thought Flying Bark was animating this. Did they get replaced, or did they outsource this in order to focus on the Stranger Things cartoon?>>153236234>4chan hates everything and is psyop'd by multiple think tanks and Epstein and possibly ThielWhile true on all accounts (Epstein especially), the fact is that this just isn't a good movie. It's mediocre at best and a sign that the franchise needs to rot at worst.
holy shit did they really just make the climax into beam spam what an embarrassment
Do people unironically find Toph sexy? Like Katara is just right there and you choose Toph?
>>153237676This is pretty much how I feel. Didn't think it quite met acceptable standards but was close and definitely the best thing and the OG series ended. I'll torrent any future movies of they're about the OG series unless they get worse but as far as tie-in material and the new show I have no faith in them being anything but garbage. I'll probably hate watch the new series with my fiance via a pirating site unless the first episode or two are so obscenely bad that we drop it immediately (an unfortunate possibility) but that's about it. It's really quite sad because ATLA is still great and this movie showed it could be still. If they just restrained themselves from being so Hollywood just a bit more it could still be so good.>>153237694No, the lighting is the worst part. It's overexposed and washed out and makes it look bad. I think it's just Lauren Montgomery's style because Batman/Superman Apocalypse was like that, too.
The original comics, and I mean the mid-late 00's ones published in Nick Magazine and collected in Lost Adventures by Dark Horse, are canon. And in one there's an abandoned air nomad stupa and it's said that the Fire Nation would lure in survivors of the genocide by leading them there. So air nomad survivors are canon. This also means firebending powered fighting games using puppets and fire nation arcade games but we're not talking about that oneThere's also the old card game that had a card of an genocide survivor airbending girl who lived in the mountains and fought fire nation soldiers and she lived shortly after the genocide in the early years of the war, but bryke said the card game isn't canon. But i liked the idea.
>>153237891Only Ty Lee is sexy and her swimsuit scene killed millions
>>153237891toph is smol and funsizedfunsized is best sized.also just think about how aggressive she'll be.
>>153237891This movie is the hottest Katara has ever been
>>153237727Yeah but even if a whole slew of them were just born it wouldn't be common enough for how they were acting. Sokka was talking about some new boat he was working on and they were like: "who even uses boats? Everyone could just waterbend!" All of the waterbenders were killed when Sokka and Katara were children and they were so unfamiliar with it that Sokka didn't even really understand it in the pilot and chided Katara for always "playing with your magic water." I get that at least one of the kids could waterbend (and must've been taught by Katara because I don't know who else could) but they shouldn't be thinking: "what good are boats?" all of their parents and pretty much every adult should be a non-bender.
>>153237910I dont want an agressive girl. I want a submissive girl that i can fold into any position i want and throw around like a ragdoll, like Katara
