it's a different approach to the same old.
You haven't seen the show, so you don't know what you're talking about.

tl;dr the live action movie is only good if you never watched the show because it bastardizes it otherwise.
Meh, not really. I tried watching it pretending I never saw the show, and it's still bad. The movie has a lot of issues, being inaccurate to the source material is only one issue. The acting is awful, and has way too many things being skipped over with narration. Sokka and Yue falling in love is litteraly done by the narration telling us "They immediately fell in love". A longer runtime might have been made the pacing a bit better, but I doubt it would have made it any more coherent.

I feel you're still watching it through the lens of someone who'd watch a cartoon series like ATLA. There were a bunch of adults (roughly boomer age) who enjoyed the movie and were interested in the cliffhanger and stuff.

No. I can separate things from the source material and try to enjoy them on their own terms. I enjoyed the 93 Super Mario Bros. Movie, and that was very far removed from the game. It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun because of it's absurdity.

The Last Airbender movie had a ton of problems with it, even without comparing it to the show. Again, pacing and acting were huge flaws of the film. Those aren't issues because of it's a poor adaptation, those are issues because of poor film making in general. Heck, Dragonball Evolution is rated higher than this film, and that was even more far removed from the source materiel.

I've also heard people who never saw the show say they didn't like the movie. They hated the movie more though once they saw the show.

Really, it doesn't take a fan to think that movie is garbage. When a movie starts with text crawl and has lines starting with "as you know" those are ingredients to a steaming hot dog shit taco.

The acting is fucking AWFUL. I did theatre club in middle school and the plays we did had better acting.

Oh! Remember that scene when Aang randomly met that dude at the air temple? Old man was with him the whole time. Then suddenly pulls out a knife and a bunch of Fire Nation soldiers popped up and gave him gold. When did he find the time to go and get these men and betray Aang when they were walking around together this whole time? Aang traveling there wasn't exactly public news either so it's not like this man was able to plan ahead. Much like a lot of the movie, it was a complete ass pull.

And I said it before and I'll say it again. Fire benders needing fire to do anything made them a complete joke. The only element out of the 4 that isn't just naturally everywhere all the time. God damn. If that's the case I'll beat the Fire Lord myself! I'll run him over with my fucking truck!

I also believe that the live-action film has nothing to do with the animated series. However, for people who have watched the series before - especially the biggest fans - I bet big money - no live-action production would meet expectations. I will only add that I bought and watched the movie about a month ago and... well, let's be careful, I wasn't impressed...

we dont need live adaptations, what kind of benefit is it going to have over the source material? I hate any kind of remake and retelling of this kind. We have seen a lot of terrible attempts to milk existing IPs because theres a lack of creativity today, like The cowboy bepob live adaptation.

The worst example for me is the new "all quit on the western front" you can say the cinematography was good but it was a shameless perversion of the original full of fake emotional scenes that desperately try to hammer home how bad war is while being completely partisan on the topic wich was exactly what the author of the original didnt want to be. Its a disgrace that such a historical classic wich is 100 years old can even be owned by anyone and used as a corporate sock puppet like this.

just tell new stories ffs leave classics alone, who do you think you are that you can take the best works of art out there and think you can make them better? where are your all time classics you have written??

there arent any because they are talentless hacks, thats why they have to steal rape and resurrect the butchered corpses of great art.


Sorry for this rant but im just very mad that the moment something becomes popular people in suits with a lot of money need to turn up and suck everything out of it that made it popular in the first place.

To tell you the truth - for me, the stories of Aang and Korra close the topic of Avatar. For some time now, there have been rumors about a new film and a new season of the series, but for me (I repeat - this is just my personal opinion) - it is completely irrelevant. You can't step into the same river twice, maybe the sequels will be successful as such - that's entirely possible, but - it won't be MY story anymore.

yeah i agree theres no way someone will make a faithfull continuation of it because the stories are made to end where they did pretty much. so you might aswell start over with something completely new that isnt Avatar. A common theme in sequels these days is to undo a lot of the progress the story had in the previous parts like : "oh shit the same villain that got defeated before is back again" and by doing this you make the previous conflict less meaningfull.

You know - the animated series is really stuffed to the brim with content - it touches on many threads and gives you a lot to think about. I have never (even though I watched it for the first time this year) felt dissatisfied or that something was missing. On the contrary - the whole thing was really satisfying, the scriptwriters did a great job, the VO cast was well chosen and the graphic designers and animators seemed to really "feel" the blues. Fortunately, there are great releases on Blu-ray and it's really worth spending a few bucks to have such a great thing just for yourself ;)

There's some hope now actually. Netflix finally pulled it off with One Piece and Oda is very happy. One of Netflix's people came out and said "it seems like what people wanted all along was for us to tell the story faithfully." No shit you dumb bitch.

Let's hope they take that lesson to heart. It sounds like LA ATLA is going to be trying to go for a more faithful adaptation, while also being allowed to get a little darker since it ain't on Nick anymore. We'll have to see how that turns out.

Sadly, there is something sort of missing. ATLA was supposed to get a book 4. It was basically going to be an epilogue. Zuko and friends adventure to find Ursa and it'd just be seeing everything after the war and the start of peace again and just seeing how everyone is doing.

Nick said no in favor of greenlighting the live action movie, and we got comics instead.

For this, a special episode would be enough, after all - the introduction to The Legend of Korra is partly about these things. A lot of information about the past of the main characters of ATLA is also included in individual episodes of The Legend of Korra.

It's not a rumor. The creators and studio have confirmed they're in development. A new movie with an adult Aang is in development, along with a movie about Korra, and a new series with the next avatar. There's also suppose to be a Zuko film and one about Avatar Kyoushi. Though I'm personally not really intrested in any new Korra material, and I'm highly skpettical about a one with a new Avatar given the timejump they're gonna have to do.

There wasn't going to be a Book 4. It was always going to end at 3. The search for Zuko's mother was pitched as a TV movie, but the idea was rejected by Nick. The live action movie had nothing to do with this descison.

Someone doing it "faithfully" is still just someone copy and pasting their homework Netflix just cant make good stuff so they have to prey on nostalgia.

Have you actually seen the live action One Piece? They change some things here and there. 20 episodes of filler get cut down to a single episode. In some places they actually improved on the source material. Like they brought in Garp a little early so they could give Koby and Helmeppo more screen time and develop them more, and what they did with them, while completely new and original, ended up being a really, really good addition.

It even has a 95% user score on RT. That never happens with anime adaptations.
A faithful adaptation can more than earn it's right to exist if it can bring something new out of it without taking away from the original.

Its split into 4 "books", following the original show.
First book is dated, can be kinda confusing at first, but u just tap around and u will figure it out, its pretty short.
Book 2 onwards the progression makes a lot more sense.
Graphics get better, but what you're seeing overall is just the dev's art style, which imo you get used to and can still be pretty nice.

There are love and slave routes, two different storylines except a few similarities and many different scenes.

MC doesn't "steal" others wives in terms of them falling for him, but he does have some fun with them. Lots of wives and mothers being fucked here in both routes.
However most of the main girls are young adults, its not a netori focused game, but there is enough netori to fulfill the needs imo, as a fellow netori enjoyer lol.
