Same trend said the writers are running out of plots, they just going in the cycle
This and that
I wish there was a sort of a search engine to look at people’s comments

How will you go into a live action adaptation with so much expectations. I believe that's where your problem comes from.
But that's to be expected in a live action especially one where the initial showrunner weren't part of it. Going into it expecting alot is just setting yourself up for disappointment. They will hardly ever capture the same charm of the animation that's just the truth.

Bro, why wont there be so much expectations They had the biggest budget after One Piece, a bigger budget than Game of Thrones, The Last of Us (which is also a live action adaptation winning awards already), One Piece (another live action that hasn't even finished their animation). They had the best vfx team in the world but they decided to use writers who are not even part of the fandom. It is wack as a standalone series, I never compared it with the animation, I compared it with One Piece and The Last of Us! Can you just admit it's not with those series in any way shape or form.

The visuals were a massive improvement from the movie. I thought it would be impossible to ever portray bending in live action but they did it well. There's alot of room for improvements that's for sure but I am looking forward to where they take it in season 2.

the problem with you guy is comparing this mess to the bigger mess called the movie that must not be named. Shymalan has set the bar so low that you guys will acknowledge mediocrity. Wow

NeoWanZaeed:


Laughing.. definitely you haven't seen the animé. All the main characters are still developing.. before you could see what you really want will be in season 2.. like episode 6 upwards.

If you feel bored watching Avatar Last Air Bender.. well, I felt same about Attack on Titan to be candid. Same as Solo Leveling too

The fact you don't even know who Toph is tells me you are watching the animation on Indian Youtube. It's not about being bored, It's about the quality of the characters, dialogue, and writing. AOT was boring- acknowledged, but you know there was a sense of quality in the writing and direction

Erenjp:


I don't agree with your rating...
But I agree it does get boring at times...

I finished One Piece at a single sitting...

I slept off 3 times on an episode of this Netflix ATLA. But yet I still don't think it's bad like you're saying...it's just not as fun

You are right! I only gave it that rating because live actions are meant to elevate the original source material. One Piece became the most watched anime a week after the live action - people started watching anime because of it. I don't think this will do the same but instead reduce the quality

NeoWanZaeed:

Live adaptation can never be the same as animé. Fans get angry because it doesn't follow Tooth and nail just like anime.

Same issue star wars fans have lol. .the greatest enemy and lover of Star wars movie are Star wars fans lol

Been long since I saw the anime. Probably that's why I forgot some characters

unfortunately you can't, I got it from a private telegram channel with no links.
It's better than even reviewed, intense from beginning to end, the same intensity as RRR

Lol you just made my point going into it with too much expectations after seeing what the movie was is just setting yourself up for disappointment. It's just the truth! There were already so many things going against it and budget isn't always a solid yardstick we all saw the rings of power with all their massive budget. We all heard the stories of the original showrunners leaving, the changes they made to the characters, given the fact its a live action adaptation which have been shit for years only recently are we getting good ones and all that. These should give you pause to be like ok this might not be that great. But no you ran enter looking for the next GOT .

Yes I will compare it with the other live action adaptation because guess what they are the only live adaptations made so far. Yes, they set the bar so low and these guys did very well in terms of CGI and I acknowledge it. If pikin do well it's good to say ha you did well but you can do better which was the whole point of what I said. if you feel otherwise that's fine for me the CGI was a massive improvement!

ATLA live action series is garbage,live action will always fail because you can't replicate things in cartoons well in real life .

If you think ATLA movie adaptation is good, you probably voted for BAT and you most certainly dip bread in Tea.

Was honestly shocked he didn't know who Toph was. She's literally my favorite character in the show.

Without the introduction of Toph and Azula in Season 2, I would have quit ATLA tbh...


@ bolded, what is this weird take I keep seeing here about AOT being boring. It's only on this thread I see posts like that tbh...

While I've seen some complaints of the amount of dialogue in the show... I don't see people complain of it being boring outside this thread.

AOT has served as a gateway into anime for millions around the world.
Many people who don't even watch anime and people who hate anime watch Attack on Titan.

So I don't understand why you guys claim it's boring just because there isn't a fight scene every episode

Nah, AOT is my best anime of all time; I was just talking of the Season 1 - boring in the sense that it's a slow burn just like Season 1 of Succession

You just proved my point, you're using the movie as a yard stick for this and you say massive improvement like it's the same people that made this

There were a lot of pacing issues in AOT season 1.

As someone who watches reaction videos...I rarely watch reaction videos to the Trost arc because that entire stretch from like episode 7-14 was so slow. Everything was moving at snail speed.

It mostly picked up pace during the Female Titan arc

Mai's casting is ass.

Simple question was the CGI a massive improvement or no

So if a new say Star wars movie is made by different people and I compare its CGI with the old ones I am somehow wrong to do so because the same people didn't make them .

Drag me along too o

🎥 Mean Girls (2024) = 6/10 ✔️ ❤️

🎥 The Animal Kingdom (2023) = 6.1/10 ✔️ ❤️

bro, how can you compare the CGI of a 2010 version to a 2023 remake with a better budget, that's not a legit comparison in any way

abduleez1:


Lol, I think say na only me dey notice this thing.

Baba fit watch 10+ TV shows and movies in a week. I go dey wonder which job Baba dey do. Whether Baba dey review films for a living. Cos that work rate mad gan. 😂😂

Most likely he fast forwards movies as he watches. That's the plausible reason I can think of. Cos the combined hours needed no dey match the quantity he rates per week. Assuming we're accounting for other engagements he must have.

At the bolded, this is 100% the case.

The amount of lies and cope to excuse this in the comments were crazy.

The dude didn't express himself well but his point is that at least in the cartoon, the Waterbenders had enough advantage and power the easily capsize most of the fire nation ships

Someone said it was a surprise attack. Surprise ke?
Another said the waterbenders were weak lmao.
No be the same cartoon we watch?

The waterbenders were certainly capable in the cartoon plus they had a full moon with their powers at Max level...they just didn't consider it. In the cartoon, the waterbenders were stronger than what the movie showed.

We saw what singular waterbenders can do in the cartoon. And these guys had some master benders...even though they also had some Amateurs they were strong enough to hold that stronghold for many years.

It's fiction, it needs to be entertaining, it's a plot convenience. People just need to accept these things and move on. Not spreading lies to cover up. A group of 50 waterbenders would have done insane damage to the fire nation fleet. What made them hard to attack was because they were surrounded by water.

But even at that, nothing would have prevented the events tbh...they'd have just taken out more ships...
Their moon spirit would still be killed anyway
