i know Mike and Bryan are working on the Avatar live action series. Which bodes well for it considering the bar was set incredibly low in 2010. But the continuing idea that animation is a lesser way of telling a story that and that live action remakes are “how it was meant to be seen” just don’t sit well with me.
even with the most cutting-edge CGI, you’d be able to tell when a Fire Nation airship sorely stands out or when Appa has been superimposed in a shot. Every frame of the original show is so beautiful and animation made EVERYTHING feel like this world was completely realized. To date I’d argue it’s one of the most perfect examples of a well told and contained story. Everything felt fleshed out and lived in. What does live action bring to the table that was lacking 13 years ago? I dunno, man.
People forget the beauty of 2d animation
This puts into words exactly what I have been feeling about the live action version. I can’t understand what live action could bring to the story that animation did not. And honestly, I don’t think they can find a cast that is as good as the voice actors. ATLA didn’t just have an amazing story and animation, it had a talented voice cast that I’m just not sure could be replicated.
Monthly reminder that Azula only lost to Katara because of plot armor
This Katara libel on my dash?
the entire gaang jumped azula and she was fine and she damn near killed aang while he was in the avatar state AND even iroh didn’t wanna go against her….do you legitimately think azula couldn’t take on katara 1v1 and most likely kill her if it wasn’t for her lil plot forwarding breakdown….
Azula was always unstable and didnt like loss. We see that through her entire character arc where anything less than perfection isn’t good enough, to the point where perfection didn’t even satisfy her. The bitch was strong but she was crazy, and let her guard down.
It’s hubris sis, they’ve been doing this since ancient Greece dont act high and mighty because you dont understand Hamartia.
Also let’s not forget that Katara is an insanely powerful waterbender. Like her skill is unique at her age. She stops rain out to like 20 feet away from her and mastered blood ending after only working with internal water for about a day. We see Zuko even be scared of her power and impressed by her restraint.
There is only one bitch who matched Azula’s raw bending power and her name is Katara so gtfo.
Also in that scene where Azula got a (lucky) shot at Aang in his avatar state, someone was kind enough to bring up that Katara was going to to toe with Azula and nearly ran her into the ground until Zuko came to help her ass. So no, if anyone could beat Azula it was Katara
Bitch, Katara was about to fuck up LEAGUES of Dai Li agents when Aang went into the avatar state in the Earth Kingdom. Zuko knew he couldn’t face Azula alone on her best day so who did he ask to come with him? Katara. This is a girl who went up against a waterbending master and held her own so well that it made a culture change their values and customs. Don’t you EVER disrespect queen Katara like that.
fuck off with ur Katara disrespect. not in my house.
them: thanos is the most built up villain of all time
me, an intellectual:
Honestly, no one can ever deign to assert that Azula is not the single most iconic female villain in the western animated canon if not the entire global literary canon.
most iconic villain period. the day of black sun? siege of ba sing se? military genius.
