then you are in for a treat when you check out the original series
Honestly, I haven't seen the movie either. I just like saying that to Avatar fans because it can often it a pretty hysterical meltdown. Same thing with saying to Trek fans that Wrath of Khan is a bad movie. I do a lil trolling from time to time.
That being said, I have no interest in the Avatar series. The setting and story aren't of any real interest to me. I'm glad that people have something that they love but I am just never gonna be one of those people
Edit: I've never seen a fandom, in my life, that is more emotionally fragile than Avatar fans. Even Star Wars fans don't come slightly close, and they've been screaming about anything non-George for years.
The movie has gained a redeeming quality over the years. That quality is that it's not the live-action series.
God I fucking hated every single episode of that series. I kept hoping it would somehow redeem itself, but it just got worse, and worse with every single scene.
Got a good laugh, not gonna lie
Trolling is pretty cringe. I can't believe people are still doing it...
Yeah, the Trolls movie is already 9 years old at this point. Pretty cringe to still keep it up.
So is the insane obsession that Avatar fans have with a childrens television show, but I'm not out here judging whether or not people do that.
Lol what's up with your edit? I see one person who suggested you give it a chance. Have I blocked a whole onslaught of fragile avatar fans without knowing? Or is your edit just because you got downvoted for trolling?
There's plenty to criticize of George's Star Wars too. The Holiday Special, the Special Edition tampering, the Prequels...
Yeah my impression was that most of the screaming was triggered by George lol
aww, well if you're feeling adventurous one day and want to go exploring media you otherwise wouldn't - i hope AtLA is the first on your list. the characters are really well written and it's truly a great story. Do have a bit of patience with it though, the first few episodes were testing the waters, haha, and there's many more single episode stories there with mostly just goofing around than in other seasons, a proper overaching storyline begins when the deadline is set
There is literally no part of Avatar that I find even remotely personally interesting. Nothing. I'm not saying it's bad or that it isn't interesting in general, there is just absolutely nothing within that show that is appealing to me.
can't say that unless you've seen it ;)
Well, I've seen a trailer and been subjected to clip after clip after clip after clip for years by my friends who refuse to respect my basic position (much like you just did) that I'm just not interested.
I dunno what it is about Avatar fans where they simply cannot accept that someone isn't interested in their show. No one else does this.
oh no i respect your position of not wanting to watch it, i recommended it to you but i won't somehow force you to see it.
i just don't acknowledge your opinion of how you think you'd like no aspect of it, because well, you can't know that without yk, having seen it
Yeah I stand by the previous comment.
man, you haven't seen the show, it's not a small detail it's a pretty major thing 😭 i ain't believing someone who says "i don't like broccoli" when they've never tried eating broccoli
I think he's being way too dismissive of a fantastic show (dismissing it as just a children's show is definitely not respecting the people who did find it deeply meaningful), but it's not going to resonate with everybody - I'm sure he's seen clips of Iroh's scenes and if that doesn't sell it to someone the show probably isn't for them.
... And I thought Korra was for the most part the better show, lol.
lol judging a show on its trailer is judging a book by its cover. You haven’t seen it, you can’t know if it’s good. I haven’t seen Game of Thrones, except the first episode, just based off of that I can’t say I wouldn’t like it and I’ve seen more of that than you’ve seen of AtLA. You clearly have no clue whether you would like it or not and saying you wouldn’t because it’s a kids show clearly indicates you have no clue what the show is about.
Conveniently ignoring that.
I never said it was bad. I never said it was good. I said I'm not interested. I don't like the art style. I don't like the setting. I don't like the magic. I don't like the characters. I don't even like the voice actors. There is no part of that show that is appealing to me personally. Not sure why you are so hellbent on insisting that I can't like something without watching it. I also don't like straight porn. Do you expect me to watch all of that to decide first?
And yes. It is a childrens animated television show. It was made for children and marketed to children. Which is why it was made on Nikelodeon and stars a 12 year old. You are going mental over a childrens television show.
This is my first time responding to you ever.
Seeing clips of something out of context is not the same thing as watching that. I was not ignoring it, it’s just not relevant.
Initially, yes. Which is why the first three episodes suck. After that it’s clearly aimed at adults and the creators aren’t going to suddenly move it to a different network. That makes no sense.
Like I said, this is my first time literally ever responding to you. No one except you is going mental.
