This really looks good. Even if they deviate a little from the source material, it will be acceptable if the acting, along with what you listed above is excellent. Make dem help clear that 2010 abomination from person memory

If they deviate from the source material small, e no bad, as far as it's mostly logical and it enhances the story.
If at least they delivered the acting performance of the One Piece live-action, then it'd be an entertaining watch. It wasn't Emmy worthy performances but it was decently good and very entertaining.

That rubbish wey M. Night Shyamalan dish us that year na premium abomination. Imagine firebenders dey hold lighter for hand always before them fit bend? Rubbish!!

I don't know if it's just me...

But the production quality looks even higher than One Piece

I feel the same too.... There were some instances where One Piece CGI or makeup/prosthetics looks somewhat cartoonish. At times I dey blink 3 times make my eyes normalize.

It's the most important piece of Netflix's animation adaptation push for excellence. I already expected better production quality overall.

The casting is great too especially as almost all the cast looks exactly like live-action versions of the characters.

Loki god of stories. Crazy stuff! This probably makes him one of the most powerful characters in MCU. Definitely the best thing to come out of Disney+

the trailer was worth the wait guy...

The only thing I'm wondering is why we were only shown visuals and not character dialogue considering it's not too long before it's released

Netflix's promotion style is quite different from traditional studios promo. Also it's not a even theatrical movie.

They've time to still drop multiple trailers. There's over two months to go.

bro I can't forget the part where it took an entire squad of earthbenders to lift a small stone after dancing for 2 minutes grin grin

They could have as well picked up the stone and threw it grin

They are obviously gonna deviate from the sourcem material with Azula introduced so early...

Dialogue shouldn't be a problem either. It's the delivery of the dialogue that matters...

Honestly if they could pull off One Piece which was previously seen as impossible to adapt...then they should be able to pull off ATLA

But the acting of the young cast is what worries me

the One Piece production was more expensive than I anticipated...
So it's obvious they had to cut expenses somewhere...


The ATLA adaptation would obviously have a bigger budget and higher production quality cos it's more familiar to Western Audiences...so more viewers

I mean they both brought it with their performances, Sam Reid easily blew Tom Cruise's Lestat out of the water because he took the character to where Cruise was scared of taking it to evidently in Cruise's contract and Gaga put that Juliard's acting degree to good use,she won the Golden Globe for best actress in a miniseries the following year but let's be honest,who voted more for this? Gen Z? Even I'm Gen Z and yet I still acknowledge there were lots of TV vamps that deserves this title more not to mention the fact that we were only given one season each to see both characters in action,AHS :Hotel is even not on the list of best AHS seasons, it's just memorable because of Gaga and maybe Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates

Who do you think deserves that title?

I don't know why, this feels so "midjourney" to me 😃. I probably have residual burnt effect from how bad the last adaptation was. So many things have to go right for this to bang.

I understand the PTSD... Shyamalan cooked atrocious rubbish back then. Funny enough it also looked good visually, only to turn up to watch and find out it's total shite.

I honestly don't know what Netflix are cooking at their animation department. Their projects tend to have a way longer gestation period than what's obtainable in other studios. Prolly the reason why Netflix shelved the animation department amidst several cancellations and decided to mainly focus on acquiring content from other production studios.

So many long wait these days for premium content. It's probably only Apple TV plus and Amazon Prime that are very quick with their follow up seasons.

Even HBO, we'd wait till 2025 to get Euphoria S3 and The White Lotus.

The guy just one form realism on top fantasy movie. He did that based on the fact that the other benders can only bend when they have the elements before them. That rubbish move just cast big time
I have never really considered watching One Piece; is it interesting?

Power (force) season 2 Ep 10 is a fu*kin 100/10. Tommy Egan will inherit the love I have for T-bag in prison break as one of the most loved villain in series.

As long as you fall in love with One Piece, the number of episodes won't be an issue. There's years I didn't watch a single OP episode. There's months where I binged a 100. Even right now as we speak, I'm 300+ episodes behind and planning to catch up next year.

TL-DR: Them no dey rush One Piece like party jollof

Moving is a solid 8/10 for me.
This is one of the most detailed series I've ever seen in my life. They took their time to tell every story of each characters and left no stone unturned.

If they want to be greedy, they could easily have brought out two seasons from these 20 episodes series but they decided not to milk it like the Americans and British always do with their series.
This is one thing i respect about Koreans and Asians in general, they are always not after money but they just want to tell beautiful stories in their series and movies and if it will take 40 episodes to tell their story and give every details, then that's what they will do and no wonder lots of their series doesn't go pass 1 or 2 seasons.

Anyways i love the "moving" series so much and it's blend of history, romance, sacrifice, action, thriller and mystery all packed in one beautiful series and i love that it has a happy ending.
Of course i know there will be a second Season with the way it ended but at least the season one has a happy ending.

I simply asked why you said there was nothing good in the show

Is that a bad question?

Who cares about which show you prefer. You when no fit even defend your statement

I didn't really hate the last movie when I first watched it...

Cos I wasn't an ATLA fan and I didn't care much about the source material then...

But when I rewatched ATLA, I truly realized how bad the movie was grin grin

I wonder how painful it would have been for fans who saw the movie after being fans of the animation

One Piece is great.

Anime or Live action? Which you wan watch?

One Piece has some of the craziest Foreshadowing and mystery...
The world building is some of the best in fiction.

I once showed here some posts about timeline of events in One Piece and it's crazy...
So many events throughout thousands of years even before the present timeline of the show

The Netflix adaptation is good but the goofiness is toned down

I'll suggest the trick I used:

It took me about 5 years to catch up, but you can do it in less than a year.

Watch like 150-200 episodes at a stretch, then take a one month break...then repeat...
You'll be going by arcs...most of the later arcs are like 100-150 episodes long

I caught up to One Piece early this year...

But I decided to wait again for it to pile up...cos that's what I'm used to
