Seems like Netflix is making a kids show thats just a marvel spectacle. Yeah it sucks and the original was excellent but it’s still a fucking tv show like am I the only one who doesn’t hold any tv show in such regard that remakes offend me? Read a book if you want deep characters mf

Yeah. It's junk food. This is being upset that they're just putting air into the chocolate.

I'm not really big on avatar the last airbender, but was the animated adaptation as good as the movie?

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The movie was really bad. The cartoon is much better

I tried watching the show and was almost immediately turned off; they keep mispronouncing his name, he's way out of character (very oddly childish too), and why are the powers so dramatically overpowered? They should've left it at the movie and called it a day, it didn't need a for kids adaptation.

Why is everyone here so worked up about a Netflix slop adaptation of a cartoon for babies?

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was made for tweens, teens, and young adults thank you very much.

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

the fact that a live action show aimed at adults is being made with less trust in the audience to handle any sign of moral ambiguity than the show for babies is noteworthy

Look, people just want some humor and a lot of action. They want to establish a global threat, have hour heroes fail to stop it once and begin to fight amongst themselves. The main character will talk about how friendship and hope binds them together, then they return to the global threat, stronger than ever. There's a huge action set piece where the hero thinks about his friends and glows and floats and screams in slow motion, then the global threat ends. The last half of the final episode is setting up the next season.

Netflix doesn't have writers, they have a big ML algorithm trained by decades of lowest-bidder scripts and viewing habits. They hire writers later to "punch up" whatever the algo spits out.

they have a big ML algorithm

I'm looking forward to the inevitable animated remake of the live action adaptation. They're already doing it with One Piece.

Why do we have so many posts about this?

[–] peppersky@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

It's a fucking live action remake of a decade plus children's TV show. Of course it's going to suck can we please stop pretending this shit matters and skip all the forced discourse? I know the current media landscape is dire and sad but there's literally zero reason to take shit like this seriously
