I’m a bit confused about what it’s for. Are they intending on expanding anything from the original series? If not, what does it offer over the original?
To be clear here I’m not saying it’s bad. I have no idea. I haven’t watched it and don’t care all that much for the original either (which, to clarify again, does not mean I think the original is bad, it was just never special to me personally). I just don’t understand the intention.
More specifically though, there’s this sense of media hierarchy where some mediums are considered superior/more digestible/mainstream than others. Think back to the 2000s, everyone wanted that live action cowboy bebop remake with Keanu reeves, same kind of thing.
I couldn’t tell you why this exists, very often the original media was good because of the medium it was presented in. I’d argue avatar is one of those cases, but that’s me.
I’m happy you liked it, but its really quite bad. It ruins character arcs, has bad acting and terrible dialogue, and it apparently never heard of the show don’t tell rule.
That’s a hot take. I couldn’t make it through the trailer when they mispronounced the main character’s name. How could they have respected any of the rest of the material? I’ll still pass on watching it.
EDIT: OH this is about the live action TV Series not the Movie!
…Still pass
Boop beep I got delete.

The cynic in me says money.

Well we can hope they take some of these lessons to heart in the upcoming seasons.
I love the source material so much that it seems like I may be taste-blind to the flaws. I’m pretty thankful for that.

I don’t think I liked it as much as you, but I definitely enjoyed it. It was fun.
