    There are thousands of great books waiting to be made. Why does Hollywood keep revisiting the same 12 stories?

      Because they were successful in the past and they are banking on your nostalgia to influence your decision to go an see it.

      Hollywood: “What is books?”

    Yeah, this feels off. Quick shots of actors without their voice being present. Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. Chances are kid actors suck.

      The original show’s creators left this project almost immediately after it started. Not a good look.

        If One Piece was any indication we should be eating good.

              You mean the original anime, or the latest live-action ?

                  I thought it was decent, but not great. I really liked them exploring the characters a bit more.

                  If they would have cut the last minute off it would have been better. I don’t honestly know what they should have done with Ed, but probably not that.

          Yeah their one hit in an ocean of anime adaptation blunders.

          Which it is not. It’s an exception rather than the rule. Netflix ass-rapes every IP they get their dirty and greedy hands on.

          One Piece is only an indication of what it could be if the original creator had creative control and can deny any executive decision. Doesn’t sound like it’s the case here.

        It will be very good and cancelled after two seasons.

    If they stick to the anime I’m really excited. It looks like they are doing it right. The casting is also fantastic.

    I just hope they reminded Iroh that he needs to get swol lol

        Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I’m deep in a wikipedia hole better understanding what anime means and what it doesn’t. The more you know.

    I can’t put my finger on why but it just feels off. It’s like they are trying too hard but hitting the uncanny valley instead, or maybe I’m just too old and it’s a bit cringe to me now? Then again I felt the same way about the netflix one piece and that turned out to be entertaining so who knows. If they go for that rather than expecting me to take it seriously maybe it works here for ATLA as well.
