Guys, you're setting low expectations for someone trying to get into this franchise seriously.
>>154083106What do you mean?
>>154083117Basically if it's not the original animated series then it's slop, stop there and go no further.
>>154083172i recommend the new movie, anything else is a waste of time.
>>154083172That's correct
>>154083106>Guys, you're setting low expectations for someone trying to get into this franchise seriously.So, fuck these noobies
>>154083106>>154083172The original is also slop. Kidslop liked only by mandchildren.
>>154083997Cope.>>154084020Shut up, contrarian troon
>>154083870>i recommend the new movieIt's not that good either. Atla is the type of show that suffers from its own hype, nothing they make will ever live up to it heck the show itself doesn't. It was good show but it was never as "revolutionary" as some people manly Americans blinded by nostalgia seems to think. Plot driven series were already a thing in 90s with Spiderman and X men cartoons and even in the 2000s you had TMNT which came out 2 years earlier than Avatar, in Canada, France and Italy they were making stuff like Code Lyoko, Winx Club and Monster Allergy, Di Gata defenders and many other shows
>>154084073>Winx Club and Monster Allergy,Too bad nobody cares about the latter.
>>154084099It had a following in Italy.Di Gata defenders is the show no one seems to care about despite being better written than Avatar imo
>>154084165>It had a following in Italy.Yeah, but it's because of nostalgia; that series is all over the place in terms of writing and coloring. Thanks. Straffi>being better written than Avatar imo>canuckshit
>copy anime>add woke elements>outsource entire animation to korea>hire chinese VAs>claim jap anime are animated by koreans too anyway>blame japs for being racist-sexist-pedo 24/7>???>profitIt's that simpleTOTAL WESTERN CULTURAL VICTORY
>>154084208Fuck off, faggot.
>>154083106>>154083172Yes. You don't need to "get into a franchise", you can just enjoy things as they are and engage with them as much or as little as you want. What a bizarre sentiment to have.
>>154084208>>claim jap anime are animated by koreans too anywayThey are though
>>154084073Yeah, I saw someone claiming it was the first cartoon on American TV to have an overarching plot, "difficult" topics like war, major female characters, and romance, and that just doesn't hold up.
>>154084334>"difficult"Wrong
>>154084232I'm letting my preconceptions be influenced by how bitter people seem about it.
>>154083106>franchiseIt's one single decent show. That's it. There is nothing else.
>>154084334>I saw someone claiming it was the first cartoon on American TV to have an overarching plot,I generally think these are just young people with little prior media exposure. There were serialized TV cartoons back in the 80s.
What I'm saying is I don't feel like I'm in good company when it comes to this show if I attempt to hang around here.
>>154084334I mean the thing regarding females fighting is that I think that's somewhat valid since yes there was X-men, but that was an existing established IP, plus I know as a kid watching PPG when it made the jab about lack of female super heroes and or they're just a secondary to their male counterpart, weirdly enough didn't bring up any of the female X-men, but that probably has to do with not being allowed to. Personally for me when it comes to major female characters in a non-super hero show, anime was my first time seeing it via 4kids One Piece with Nami having her first 1v1 fight in Alabasta. I think that also is a thing too is that I don't think even the super hero shows particularly had females having solo 1v1 situations for the most part but I could be easily mistaken but just yeah nothing comes to mind at that point in time which is what Avatar did do I think among the western animated cartoon shows at the time.
>>154086612Additionally, because too lazy so just have ai regarding the subject.The Evolution of the 1v1 Female Fight: The realization about 1v1 fights is a crucial distinction. While 90s superhero shows had powerful women, they rarely fought in isolated, dedicated 1v1 tactical battles.The "Team Brawl" Formula: In X-Men: The Animated Series or Justice League, female heroes like Rogue or Wonder Woman usually fought alongside men in a team dynamic, or blasted generic minions/sentinels.The Anime Contrast: Shonen anime treated solo combat as a character-defining right of passage. Nami’s fight against Miss Doublefinger in the Alabasta arc of One Piece is a perfect example. Nami wasn't a powerhouse superhero; she was a normal human using her wits and a newly invented weapon (the Clima-Tact) to win a brutal, isolated 1v1 duel.And so just yeah western animation rarely had multi-episode character arcs built around a female combatant's craft (like Katara progressing from a novice to a master, or Toph inventing metalbending). Personally for me Katara was my favorite standoud and yeah I think her romance with Aang is such a childish developed one or as I'd like to put it baby's first romance when it comes to Aang and Katara shippers as there's certainly way better romances than this one sided romance.
>>154086612>an existing established IPWhat does that even mean? You had W.I.T.C.H., Winx, Code Lyoko, JL/JLU and virtually every other action show from early 2000sThe most powerful X men in both the 90s and early 2000s were females, Rogue was the powerhouse of the team
>>154083172Yeah that's about right.The original series is practically anime quality kino. Everything after that is slop.
>>154086965>>154087321Here
>>154086965>X-Men: The Animated Series or Justice League, female heroes like Rogue or Wonder Woman usually fought alongside men in a team dynamic, or blasted generic minions/sentinels.Yeah because those are superhero team shows there are scenes were Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl are kicking ass without help from the male heroes >Nami wasn't a powerhouse superhero; she was a normal human using her wits and a newly invented weapon You are just moving the goal post now l, the amount of plot armor she gets during her fights makes her being a normal human irrelevant but even then you characters like Huntress holding here own in episodes like "Grudge Match">And so just yeah western animation rarely had multi-episode character arcs built around a female combatant's craftHmmm no Winx also did it before Avatar, Ben 10 also had one with Gwen slowly learning magic
>>154087376Responded to it >>154087536Avatar wasn't really a pioneer even on the girl power front
>>154083106>im like 11>saw some ATLA trailers>it looks cool>set alarm for pilot>fell asleep during it>never looked at it again despite the universal praise >it blew up on Netflix, tried getting into it again >still fell asleep during the pilotGuess my taste is shit
>>154087584That’s what I meant
>>154084020Lmao kys s2 is certified kino
>>154087764All are.
>>154083106>Guys, you're setting low expectations for someone trying to get into this franchise seriously.The original serious is one of the best animated shows of all timeEverything after that is absolutely fucking garbageThere, realistic expectations set,
>>154088075>The original serious is one of the best animated shows of all timeHeh it's good but nothing special
>>154089328It is
>>154089348In what exactly? Like the other anons said there is nothing about this show that stands apart from the it's other contemporaries mentioned. Maybe world building?
>>154089386World building, characters, overall plot, animation quality etc.
>>154089415>World buildingIt was quite simple and basic, I don't think they even explain how each region economies work but fair enough.>charactersElaborate >overall plotDon't really see how>animation quality etc.Ben 10 and JLU were objectively better in this aspect
>>154087340
>>154089514>Ben 10 and JLU were objectively better in this aspectyou know that's a damned lie.
>>154091507Why do you people quote other posts without saying anything?
>>154093083It means>Your post is so obviously bait I'm just to give you the (You) you wantedAlthough the anon who replied to you is a retard because your post was 100% correct
>>154087340Why didn't they make something like this again? It's the only western cartoon that comes close to my favorite anime so I wondered why other western cartoon directors/writers haven't learned anything from it?
When can we expect leaks about Avatar: Seven Havens?
>>154091609No it isn't the animation is more fluid and the blows have more impact, I suggest you rewatch the action scenes of those shows.Avatar doesn't really have anything that sets it apart from other 2000s era cartoons, it's a cute show and that's all.
>>154094265I thought the leaker got jailed in Singapore?
>>154088075>The original serious is one of the best animated shows of all timeI agree with that anon it's good but not one of the best. A 8/10 imo. >>154089415The world building I would admit is good but you need more than that. The plot suffers a lot of from some pacing problems, weaker episodes and inconsistencies. Book 2 way way better than what came before and after. In terms of animation it's similar to a lot of other 90s and 00s cartoon, some good looking episodes and some weaker looking ones. Hell the best animated ones are not as good as the best animated BTAS ones for example. The most praised thing about atla are the characters which are good, outstanding for western animation, but not the best ever, I can think of multiple cartoons with good characterization and even more anime that have have character writing on par or even better.
I'm sad I did not save that comic where a kid goes "Today, I just think Avatar is super duper cool. Tomorrow, I will write essays on its depth and perfection" because it became 100% real.
>>154083106Avatar is highly satanic because it promotes the false religion of Buddhism
>>154096066>"Today, I just think Avatar is super duper cool. Tomorrow, I will write essays on its depth and perfection" because it became 100% real.As much as I think atla fans are annoying on /co/ at least they are ready to admit the faults of the show and they are pretty reasonable. However on reddit they all think Atla is perfect and the best show ever made(even above every other LA or animated show). I sometimes wonder if they've consumed other media in their life.
>>154096100>I sometimes wonder if they've consumed other media in their life.I think its mostly of nostalgia, Avatar was probably the first and only show they watched as kids.>>154086965>The Anime Contrast: Shonen anime treated solo combat as a character-defining right of passage.I can't think of any other shonen series that does this besides One Piece and JJK. The Slayers, Sailor Moon, or any other shojo action series would be a much better example of female representation in anime.
>>154096081Kys
>>154096023Check out how it actually works at least as I understand it. Paramount had a pretty serious security vulnerability that allowed just about any reasonably skilled hacker to gain access to areas they were never supposed to reach.Paramount only managed to catch the hacker who was operating on Twitter under the Idisseverything. The problem is that he wasn't the only one with access to Paramount's materials. His associates in the hacking community had access as well, along with anyone they personally shared the movie with, including the blogger TheAvatarist. People have been talking about this openly for a long time.There's a hacker who has Avatar: Seven Havens (he admitted it himself), and he's not one of Idisseverything's associates. I asked him more than once to share Seven Havens with me, and he ended up blocking me.(Gotta love those hackers who think they're noble knights)But that's not even the point. The point is that if the person I mentioned above has episodes of Seven Havens in his possession, then the person who leaked the Aang movie definitely has Seven Havens as well.Bro, I know you're lurking here. You're the one who uploaded the Aang movie to wetransfer and posted the link on 4chan. Bro, even now, after Greg Baldwin (the voice actor for Iroh) revealed is the truth about Paramount, are you still not going to leak Seven Havens because of some reason you've made up in your head?Bro, please upload all that stuff to WeTransfer. Everyone's waiting. Paramount deserves it. We all need that leak so Paramount will finally sell Avatar Studios. The fans would be grateful to you.
>>154083106>Have no expectations for Avatar: thoroughly impressed>Have expectations for its sequels: thoroughly disappointedBe glad, it's a return to form.
>>154093083>>154093289It's done because it's true
>>154089514>Ben 10 and JLU were objectively better in this aspectHahaha kill yourself

>>154096081>Avatar is highly satanic because it promotes the false religion of Buddhismit is literally a christian show.
based af. the revolt has begun.
>>154094265> When can we expect leaks about Avatar: Seven Havens?if it comes from OG creators of ATLA its gonna be shit. already looks strange, maybe im baised towards the ascetics of OG. i will give it a shot, but if it is leaked the franchise is done
>>154097369You should
>>154098131>it's realWew
>>154097369Why did you reply to my post twice? Those shows were better animated that's just a fact
>>154083172Eh, Korra and the movie are both fine. They’re not the greatest thing since sliced bread, and they’re not as good as the original series, but they’re fine.
THEY JUST LEAKED THE ENTIRE NEW SHOW AVATAR SEVEN HAVENSCODE RED REPEAT CODE RED THUS IS NOT A DRILL
>>154100211Where's the download link then?
I laugh whenever I hear that Avatar is a masterpiece. Gameoverse is better than it in literally every conceivable way. Heck I'd say it's the best show ever made.
Avatar to me is just a fun show. I don't think it's anything special.
>>154100772
>>154100772Nice b8
Seriously, what's going on with this contrarians and aangsty one(s) against to the show? The situation isn't quite out of line yet, but it's just meters away from approaching what that squ1z0 did with threads about Kim Possible's cartoon.
>>154100950The guy above you was trolling but I genuinely don't think the show is a 10/10 masterpiece with best characters in fiction. I hope that doesn't make me a contrarian.
>>154084020it has a good power system but that's just it. Korra had better choreography and themes
>>154101043Wrong, dykefag
>>154098202BASED!
>>154100211It would be fucking hilarious
>>154083106The only person whose opinion about a show matters is your own. If you’re interested in a show, watch it and make up your own damn mind.
>>154098098>buying it on dvdlol okay boomer
but what does E;R think?
>>154087686To be fair the first season is the weakest of the show by far and has far more unnecessary childish stuff in it than the rest. So i don't blame you. I tried rewatching the first season a few months ago and I just couldn't. Most episodes few slow or like they have no impact on the story until you get to the middle of the season. Now everything in Season 2 forward is banger after banger, there is only one episode that is kinda retarded and feels like filler, but you can probably just skip it.
I like Korra the series.But I don't like Korra the character.
>>154101043>Korra had better choreography and themesKorra was written by people with a redditor's understanding of political ideologies
>>154083106this game will be cool though, until it dies like 2 weeks after release
>>154101828Who cares what a fascist thinks
>>154101043>Korra>Better choreographyPUNCH PUNCH AND MORE PUNCHWhere is the fucking choreography?The original The Last Airbender has actual martial artists teaching the animators about various forms of combat. Every bender had assigned a specific martial art unlike Korra UGHH WATERBENDER WHO CAN'T AIRBENDER DURR HURR WATERBENDER WHO THINKS AND MOVES LIKE AN EARTHEBENDER.
the only acceptable thing to do with ATLA after book 3 was a prequel book four about aang learning airbending as a kid. maybe a movie about what happened to zuko’s mom as a final ending all loose ends as an epilogue. anything FORWARD should not be allowed so korra snd this new show ban.
>>154105864Fag
>>154101828Who?
>>154106080> Korra UGHH WATERBENDER WHO CAN'T AIRBENDER DURR HURR WATERBENDER WHO THINKS AND MOVES LIKE AN EARTHEBENDER.its also contradictory. realistically fire should be her hardest element to learn being born water. no instead we get her using fire and earth even more than water. also the main villain is a stupid shitty villain. ozia was Tamerlane like figure, the stakes was literal earth kingdom genocide. with amon it was so underwhelming.
>>154083106>trying to get into this franchise seriously Nigger it's a cartoon. Watch it. If you like it that's fine. If you don't, turn it off. Go outside afterwards either way. "Trying to get into a franchise seriously", fuck outta here man.
