> The Missed Theatrical Millions: The movie received outstanding reviews (90% from critics and 99% from audiences), and its tiny two-theater run completely sold out. Box office experts argue that if Paramount hadn't panicked over an early HD leak and pulled it from theaters, a wide theatrical release easily could have generated $200 million to $400 million in global ticket sales.Im at a genuine post for wordsNo gamesNo merch Seemingly little promotion It should be criminal to be this negligent with a franchise like this easily half a billion dollar ip and paramount does not want it to succeed at all
>>156229898if you are an actual avatar fan, you'd see that this movie is a fucking nothingburger. it has nothing to say and changes nothing because its a hard prequel to korra.
>>156229972>YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MEANING IN EVERYTHING YOU CANT JUST ENJOY THINGS BECAUSE....BECAUSEreal fans don't gatekeep how to enjoy things lacking in substance is not an excuse not enjoy something
This movie never needed to be made. We don't need to see what the Gaang were doing as adults, the appeal was that they were kids saving the world
>>156229898How many people would really turn up for a franchise that had been paused for 12 years
>>156229898They lost millions for changing the cast for dei
>>156230204I appreciate the age up. I wanted to fuck them all when I was 14, but now that I'm pushing 40 it was getting kinda awkward.
>>156231166Fair
>>156229898no it wouldn't, you're not getting enough fans of a nearly 20 year old series to rush out for its own take of a DBZ Filler Movie plot
>>156229898I was all set to say that's a pipe dream but I remembered that every other country got their VAs to come back so it might actually have done extremely well internationally
>>156229989its shit and does a poor job of depicting the classic characters. its like the tumblrinas who wouldnt shut up about the series pre 2020 boom wrote this slop
>>156230671Nobody actually cares. They pretend to care, they fume online about it, but they don't actually care. They just needed an excuse to hate it and any excuse would do.
>>156229898I'd watch it f they didn't change voice actors. All the new ones suck especially Sokka. I'd be able to stand the Sokka flanderization if it was his original voice instead of someone doing a anime VA impression of it that cracks every few seconds
>>156233225>Nobody actually cares.It's why the movie got leaked, if they just casted the same people, I guarantee you this would have been a bigger success than what it ended up becoming.
>>156229898$200 million seems ambitious to me, but I do think it could have been profitable. The visuals were great and I can see some fans watching it more than once.
>>156230671The funniest thing about the whole "matching VA races to character races" is out of the main cast the only ones somewhat matching was Katara, who's new VA does have Metis blood so close enough to inuit, and Toph, getting a legally blind chinese chick for a voice role is pretty funny.
>>156233507Best thing to come out of introducing adult versions of the ATLA cast I hope this fanart doesn't die with the standalone film
>>156229898Has anybody drawn Azula if she was in this movie?
>>156234300A guy who mostly draws comedic shitposts did a gaang poster with her in it. For some reason she’s wearing her Kemurikage mask from one of the comics
This movie was a genuine snoozefest. 0/10 in my book. Nothing cool happened, no cool fight scenes, no interesting dialogue, no super funny moments, we didn’t learn anything about the characters that we didn’t already know. Wow, Aang won’t compromise his morals even if it means bringing back the air nation? No fucking shit. He’s the god damn avatar. It’s budget should have gone into better animation for seven gayvens. It didn’t even spawn much quality porn. The new voice were fine desu but I still have no respect for any studio hiring based on race.
>>156229989>real fans don't gatekeepYes. YES THEY ABSOLUTELY DO.Specifically to keep retards like you out.Kys asap and let me forget this conversation.
>>156234525>Nothing cool happened, no cool fight scenesDo you have dementia by any chance?
>tagah offers aang the opportunity to bring air benders back into the world in one swift go, but he rejects him>he then proceeds to have exactly one airbender kid, unfairly leaving all the responsibility of repopulating the air nation on him and risking repopulation never happening by not having at least one spare>tenzin then proceeds to waste years with that stuck up prude lin, only having his first kid at 41, well after his father had already died, denying him the joy of seeing his first air bender grandchild>because of his age his next two kids come out with developmental issuesAang is such a fucking retard seriously.
>>156234590It was terrible. The final fight was spirit korra vs unavaatu 2.0, and the air bullet shit was peak retardation. No thanks.
>>156229972I refuse to watch it because I know it'll just annoy me.
>>156229898Movie was fine but I don't know if it would've been successful. Transformers One and Mutant Mayhem produced weak box office results. A fall release would've continued that pattern.
>>156234595I mean, he tried three times to have a kid, I assume before each of them were born he secretly hoped they were an airbender. The only reason he got only one was because Katara’s waterbender genes couldn’t give him more than that. If he wanted a higher chance of having more airbender kids he should’ve married a non-bender girl.
>>156233355Which means it would've leaked harder. You retard.
>>156234590I get why he wouldn't like Airbender Broly. I myself think it's retarded that he beats someone like Toph.
Whatever happened to that twitter bitch who was saying Toph should have been a lesbian
>>156229972>prequelIt’s a ripoff of Korra that was clearly written in ChatGPT which is why it accidentally re-writes in the equalists, the spirit world trek, and zaheer.
>>156234538AaaaaaaMEN brother!
>>156229898>the few nostalgia bucks they could have scammed away were robbed by the leak.Serves them right. They have done nothing but whore the IP up for decadeS now, proving time after time the first series was a miracle one-time miracle thing and they have no real skill to replicate it.Shitbending loli series is a laughingstock with powerpoint slides tier "animation" which puts agenda first over plot for the nth time.This franchise is creatively bankrupt and in a right world it should be economically bankrupt soon too.
>>156229989>real fans don't gatekeepWrong, fuck off and stay fucked off normie trash
Good. Everything that gets screwed over should spitefully leak.
>>156229898>Box office experts argue that if Paramount hadn't panicked over an early HD leak and pulled it from theaters, a wide theatrical release easily could have generated $200 million to $400 million in global ticket sales.didn't this get pulled months before the leak
>>156235553Yeah, I'm pretty sure the change to Paramount+ was what prompted the leak to begin with. They were trying to milk subscriptions by making it a premium stream exclusive.
>>156229898>greentext fanfic pulled from op's asswake up grandpa, it's not 2008 anymore. avatar is not doing anywhere near anime movie numbers in 2026
>>156235467Stop shilling for awful corporate practices dumbass.
>>156229898>Received outstanding reviews. Why? It was all style but substance. All sequence no story. Visually impressive to a fault that the entire film is just meandering aimlessly on a very underwhelming plot line from one cgi rollercoaster to another. Also throwing away the original cast members for Asians was unforgivable tokenism that damaged the credibility of the film before their poor performances even landed. >Oh...woe is me, the ATLA movie doomed to be a tiny cultural footnote on the tail end of a beloved series. Good. Its obscurity is well earned.
>>156236841Aw you're no fun :(
>>156229972And all the new voices are a spit in the face.Hopefully someone is working there to redub it with AI
>>156235484i noticed that. they had so little idea, its sad.
