Why. WHY Korra comics are so freaking bad???! Why the fuck they thought to turn Asami into a damsel in distress and make Korra have a though fight against a punk criminal was a good idea?? Like wtf, why they hate my girls so much?😭

And If this wasn't enough. Here comes ROTE where they make Kuvira (a dictator who had concentration camps and was completely fine with murdering children) be nice? Like WHY? Oh oh and they invent some mind-control shit and Korra trusting Kuvira to be her subject on some experiment? I Can't y'all.

I can't believe I'm saying this but c'mon, y'all want Lucy to be gay so bad that y'all are ignoring everything we saw on the show.

There's nothing canon or implicit that may say Lucy is interested in women or at the very least, confused about her sexuality. She "played" with her cousins, she was happy to marry and screw that guy from Vault 32, she instantly had a crush on Maximus... Of course, it is fair to say that she barely had interactions with other women but still.

If the show decides to explore this in s2, now we are talking. But for now, Lucy is s8 as hell I'm sorry

Ps: Now, Moldaver and Lucy's mom...👀 Gay af

The Legend of Korra premiered 12 years ago. Damn that went fast.

I was about 15 to 16'old when I first watched. I remember be like "how can they do an Avatar without the Gaang?" And be completed gagged in the first minute of the show. Korra stole my heart in the way no other character had to this day.

Watching her discover her world and deals with her life problems at the same time was I was doing the exactly same, was something I can't describe but I know a lot of fans can relate too. One of the darkest times of my life until then, she was with he as we fought together, her against PTSD and me against anxiety and suicidal depression. When she was discovering her sexuality, I also finally realized I gay as hell.

It paved the way to so many good and important things in cartoon media. Even tho I feel that Bryke kinda don't care about Korra or her show anymore (at least not as near as they do with The Gaang), I will forever be thankful for what they and cast and crew gave to us.

I'm seriously thinking of rewrite tlok with Asami as equalist and working on her redem arc and Korrasami being enemies to lovers. Y'all would be interested to read that?

I would probably do with both Korra and Asami pov

Alicent' may be the tragic character of HOTD

I'm team Black, will always support them but I can't help but feel how tragic Alicent life is. And this is no excuse for all of her horrible choices.

She was sold by her own father to a much older king, can u imagine? Otto is the one to blame for all the Dance, his ambitions destroyed his family and ended his bloodline. Can't wait for him to die.

The thing is, Alicent learned things like envy, resentment, anger...too soon. She wasn't allowed to live the life she wanted so of course she was mad when Rhaenyra did.

She was used by all of the men in her life. Otto used her basically as a sexual object to sell for power, and Viserys used her to make babies. Her sons are a rapist and a psychopath who also grows up with resentment, envy and anger towards his brother, his uncle and his cousins.

Aemond is more like Alicent than any of her children and that's why he is like her favorite. The same way Alicent plays the role of the conservative religious mother and wife to hide her life frustrations, Aemond plays the role of a wannabe tough guy to hide his insecurities.

Life is full of Alicents. Women Trapped in their own prisons of frustration and resentment, and because of that, choose to make others life's worst as a way to copy.

Jace is a bastard. As much as I love him and think he'd make a fine king, his descendants will always have to deal with Blackfyre style rebellions.

That's a valid point but I think that if he was a good king, which I also think he would, rebellions against him wouldn't be much of a thing since the lord's where "happy" with his reign. But if his son's wouldn't be as good as him, then we would probably have a another civil war for the throne

Rhae Royce might disagree about Daemon being a great husband.

Can't argue with this one

At least he was a good husband to Rhaenyra

#daemon targaryen #rhaenyra targaryen #game of thrones #house of the dragon

[low-budget-korra]

Honestly I can't understand why people who call themselves Targaryen fans and still root for the Greens. Like fr?

"but Rhaenyra sons are bastards" So? Y'all didn't buy Jon Snow be validated as a Targaryen? All of Rhaenyra sons are treated as Velaryon and they are more Targaryen than all of the Greens combined.

The Greens are Hightowers. Otto is a greedy asshole who sells his own daughter, Alicent grew envious of Rhaenyra because she lives a life she wanted(different from Alicent).Incel Cole is forever mad because Rhaenyra didn't want to run away with him, the things he did are far more dishonorable to his job than having sex with her. Aegon is a rapist trash, a coward and just the worst person to be a king. Aemond is another coward who thinks he is the best just because an old ass Vhagar lets him be her rider, can't wait for Daemon to get rid of him.

Meanwhile we have Rhaenyra as the rightful heir. Daemon as a great husband, doing everything for his queen. Jace is the fairytale hornoble prince, securing alliances that won the war for Rhaenyra and sacrifices himself to protect his younger siblings. Corlys is the brains, who also helped the blacks to win the war. Rhaenys and Baela are fierce and honorable warriors. Cregan Stark...u guys will see.

Comments on Netflix's Avatar The Last Airbender

*spoiler alert*

First of all I'm gonna start by saying it is one of the best adaptations I've seen so far. And that's the key word, adaptation. I've seen a lot of fans and others complain about some things that honestly, doesn't make sense because some things only work in a cartoon(just as much as some things only work in a book or a video game)

And before I start to talk about some topics that I judge important, I also wanna say that the production is fantastic, from the costumes to the CGI. It all looks amazing. (A part from Yue's wig)

1. The Script

It's not easy to pick 20+ episodes and make it fit in only 8 but damn they did a hell of a good job, especially when judging what was important to show and what they could let it go. Some fans commented that since there's no fillers, the Gaang and others miss some development but I think that for the universe of the live action what we got here it worked.

I can express how much I like to see Ozai and Azula's relationship and how it is now clear that he uses the siblings against each other, manipulating them to get what he wants. But I will admit I miss the fear Azula had, since it's implied in the show and some extras that she does fear Ozai, and fears becoming like Zuko.

I hope the 41. Is just fine after the battle in the north. See all of them bowing to Zuko after discovering that Zuko was the one that saved their asses and was heavily punished by that...it was beautiful. I loved the writers did that, give names and faces to Zuko's crew and a beautiful yet sad arc when Ozai banished his son and the men who he saved.

I also loved that they put weight into things that was treated as a joke, like Katara talking about her mother. She was a little kid who saw her mom get murdered in front of her and the live action made sure to let us know that it is not okay to make jokes about something so traumatic. All of the deaths here have tons of weight in it, it's not some random person, is someone we met, someone we liked, someone who helped. The costs of the war, something the cartoon manages to show us but know in live action, with real people, the massage gets stronger.

And they didn't forget Iroh's past like the fandom does, which is great. That actor, the earthbending soldier really let it all out, that's how you use the few screentime you have.

Sokka's isn't sexist and y'all were making a storm outta a cup of water, is not like Sokka sexist didn't go away after like the 4 or 5 episode in the original show. I think the live action was able to bring more depth to him in comparison to the first season of the cartoon. We see how he feels about his father's, the absence of him and his duty as warrior who kinda doesn't want to be a warrior.

I need a Gyatso in my life, I didn't know I needed to see more of him until the live action gave us more of him. Kyoshi was the Thor coming to Wakanda from this season, WHY THE FUCK BRYKE DONT WANNA GIVE US A KYOSHI SERIES? She is absolutely a jewel of a character. Roku and Kuruk, damn poor Kuruk man, so much pain in his words but again that's what it means to be the Avatar, it's not fun and games. Zhao saying to Aang what Korra villains said to Korra😭 that the world doesn't need the Avatar anymore, it hurt.

Guys I'm gonna say it, there's no way in hell for anyone to ship Kataang here. I'm saying this because some shippers complain that the secret tunnel part was different but c'mon, look at Kiawentiio and look at Gordon, it would be so s awkward and weird and just wrong. I know they don't have a big age difference, is only like 3 years but when they filmed Gordon looked so much younger than her, maybe in the next seasons the difference won't be that big.

The pace is good, once you start you don't wanna stop.

2. The Acting

Everyone is really good at capturing the essence of it's characters and somewhat making them their own. The highlights for me were Dallas and Ian, Its like they came straight from the show. Ken Leung's Zhao was also amazing as he was way more threatening here than he was in the show.

Kiawentiio was the Katara we were looking for, she is kind yet strong, brave and caring. And Gordon was Aang, sure, he has to learn a few things since he slipped a few times in his acting but nothing that could ruin the experience, that kid is good and just needs some experience.

Elizabeth Yu was Azula. It was different but yet the same character, is like learning something new of her and I like how cleared she show emotions with her eyes. Maria Zhang had great chemistry with Ian and I can't wait to see more of Suki. Arden Cho and Yvonne Chapman as June and Avatar Kyoshi look like they came out straight from the cartoon. Daniel Dae Kim...man is Ozai, so cold, so sharp, so scary, already way better than the cartoon version. I wanna see more of Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Iroh since the character he really starts to shine in book 2.

3. The live action doesn't have the spirit of the OG?

Yes, it does have. The thing is now that we are seeing real people, things get dark one way or another but I don't think it ruined the spirit of the show. Aang is still a kid, Sokka still making sarcastic jokes, Zuko still annoying as hell, Katara still hopeful and strong... There's everything there really.

The thing is stuff like genocide, murder, war, death and suffering are, for some people, better to watch as pixels in a cartoon than real people.

I think it's a great adaptation and I would recommend it to every fan.

Quick Avatar Comment #119

Don't worry I will comment on the live action tv show (reality: no one is waiting for my view on it lmao)

Anyway have you guys ever thought about the fact that both Aang and Korra were thrown in a new world where they have to learn and struggle to comprehend? Like Aang was in an iceberg for 100y and Korra basically spent her whole life until she was 17, locked in a training center with no contact with the outside world (as far as we know).

I feel that Marvel just pick the actors who are popular rn cuz there's no way they look at Joseph Quinn and thought that he would be the best choice to play Johnny Storm. He doesn't have the looks , or the swagger, or the bad boy aura. He is also not that great as an actor, he will be so outmatched by Pedro and Vanessa...

Here is 3 actors who I think would be far better as Johnny:

Patrick Schwarzenegger

Dacre Montgomery

Alexander Ludwig

Those 3 have it all : The looks, the swagger, the bad boy aura, they're not too old and they are really good actors. Especially Dacre.

Nothing against Joseph Quinn, I just think he as Johnny Storm was such a miscast

it's been a while since a movie trailer actually got me hyped for a movie. Can't wait to see The First Omen and I hope this turns out to be a good movie.

#the first omen

[low-budget-korra]

Bella did a wonderful job portraying Ellie, my problem with her casting is because I think they didn't think about part 2 when they made this casting choice. Bella looks younger than them really is, which is great for part 1 but when it comes to part 2…I know they will use make-up to try to age them up but still,the fact that them is still teenager looking made them make some cast decisions that I just can't buy.

Choosing someone small and thin to play Abby is a crime to her character. When we met her, she was intimidating because of her looks and she is muscular because that's how she dealt with her father's death. She prepared herself for years to be able to beat the man who killed her father.

 Also, her character design is amazing as it really stands out in comparison to everyone else. It is unique and it's functional, since it's there to serve character dept and construction and not just to “look cool” 

And they butched all of this. It would be 100% better if they had casted Kaitlyn to play a original character that is inspired by Abby but not really Abby.

This casting choice tells me 3 things

1. They didn't believed the show would be a hit cuz they didn't prepared for a season 2

2. They realized that even tho Bella delivered, they fucked up them casting choice so know they have no other choice other than adapt things to better fit them and pray for it to work

3.They simply don't know their won't characters. Or just don't care.

UPDATE

People on Twitter are thinking and theorizing that Shannon Berry had the role or at the very least was the first choice but her support on Palestine made them pull a spyglass and kick her out of the project for that. Half of the cast and the creator of The Last of Us are either zionist or just simply racists towards muslims so tbh this idea doesn't seem so off and if this is the case I hope season 2 flop hard.

Comments on Saltburn

- Couldn't have chosen a better film to start 2024. Saltburn is beautiful, hunting and weird. And those types of movies that it's been to go in blind

*spoilers ahead*

-I wasn't following the marketing campaign but people on the internet were treating this movie as a gay love story so I don't know if the movie was actually marketed that way or if it was the audience wish's but let me tell you that this is no love story.

-Felix is quite a nice guy, one of the biggest plot twists for me was Jacob Elordi playing a genuinely nice guy lmao. It is implied that Oliver wasn't the first poor dude Felix brought over Saltburn but I didn't see this is something bad or evil, Felix grew up in a highly privileged environment and yet he ain't a complete jerk but I rather believe that he just wanted to know people who in his eyes were free of wherever knots he think he had, people who are "normal" and have "real" struggles.

He really bonded with Oliver, even with his friends not sharing this friendly sentiment towards the outsider and was deeply hurt by Oliver's web of lies. His death or more likely the way it happened was a shocker to me but it made sense he was no longer friends with Oliver, he became an enemy and an obstacle to his truly desires.

-Farleigh was the only one able to see through Oliver bullshit, and that's why Oliver makes him get kicked out of the house. In the beginning you kind of hate him cuz you think he's being a jerk to Oliver just cuz he is poor. I think he may represent this type of rich people, the ones who can't stand poor people trying to be one of them. I wonder if he off himself too.

-Pamela and Venetia I would need another watch to understand their characters but in a first watch I interpreted as Pamela being their "clown", entertaining them and being replaced by Oliver, who just couldn't live with the idea of not being in Saltburn with the aristocrats and thinking that even if she was bullied, it's better to live there then live with the common folk.

Venetia I think is just the type of woman that just can't get out of her mother's shadows as she tries to be different, to be cool but fails. By the end she also is able to see through Oliver bullshit and I think that's why she died.

-Elspeth is amazing. She was so elegant, so classy...it was so sad that she never was really allowed to express the pain of losing her kids. The only time we see that was when she screamed in pain after founding Felix.

She wanted to keep Oliver around cuz Felix loved him and it was a way of keeping her son there.

-Lets talk about the Devil. I don't think he planned to do all of the murder, he planned to be with the 1% but not to murder them. It only happened after Felix found out the truth.

Oliver was obsessed with Felix, and the moment he drank his cum , he started to act more and more confident. It was like he was becoming more and more like them after that and sucking Venetia, literally a vampire, sucking them dry.

Like he said himself, he loved Felix , he wasn't in love with him. It's like when Cady Heron wanted to sabotage Regina George but still wanted Regina to like her and be with her. This love and hate duality.

I think the grave scene is when he realizes what his done. He lost his obsession, he could never consume Felix again but he damn hell tried. The sex scenes with Oliver are never about love, but it's about power.

He thought it was over until Elspeth invited him to continue to stay with them. He tried to match Venetia to reinforce his place there but she realizes what he really was and because of that he had to deal with her too.

His dreams of being in Saltburn were over until he saw Sir.James died. Now it's time to suck the life out of a broken and lonely Elspeth. And I was really scared when Oliver started to mount her like that, I was so afraid that he would assault her defenseless body I almost turned off the movie. That was the scariest and heaviest scene to me tbh

Now it's all his. It's better be alone and be the one of the 1% than being with the common folk.

Plus Duncan disliked him because he also saw who he really was from the very first time. And like all the staff, he left

This is the perfect day to say the biggest FUCK YOU for those fuckers who talk shit about Korrasami, people from inside the lgbt community

I guess it is easier to talk shit about Korrasami while they are enjoying all the goods that were made possible mostly because of how big of a deal Korrasami was in 2014. And I'm not talking shit about the other pioneers, is that just like Xena years ago, Korrasami was the one to do it first and help other to not only follow it's steps but also go for more.

If you have any doubts, go watch the reactions from 2014, it cures depression really show us how big of a deal Korrasami was/it's, people were witnessing history being made.
