#atla fan cast

[grumpyzutara]

Normally I don't touch FB but literally accidentally opened the app and thought I'd take a scroll.

Saw this which I only have 1 issue with.

Dwayne the Rock should clearly be cast as Toph

So I forgot to post more of my cursed atla fancast edits whoops

So uh I cast corpse husband and mitski as Zuko and Mai respectively bc they’re both angsty musicians and corpse’s avatar’s mask thing and his raspy voice remind me of Zuko.

As for Admiral Zhao and Princess Yue… well… it was too easy.

“I woke up one morning when I was invading the northern water tribe and Iroh was standing over my bed and she said, "I just heard that Princess Yue and the moon spirit have been killed in the spirit oasis." Like I had something to do with it! I was like, "General, I have been here all night! You can feel the TV, it's warm."

Going to say this now even though I barely post here::::: Adaptations are never meant to be a 1:1 recreation of the original source material. The goal is never to recreate the exact same experience in a different format, the whole point of remaking something in a different format is to make something new.

I don’t understand why people are out here acting like the new Netflix ATLA walked onscreen, shot the original with a 44 and declared itself the new ATLA. I’m not saying you can’t criticise anything about it or any other adaptation, I just think a lot of people need to remember that an adaptation that gives you the same experience and explores the exact same themes and doesn’t elaborate on or look at things in different angles would be utterly pointless.

#honestly disappointed with how a lot of people are treating the cast of child actors #like even if you don’t like the script writing you don’t need to come after the kids #maybe the fans just have trauma from that terrible movie and don’t know how to cope with an actually decent adaptation idk #while I agree that a lot of live action remakes of animated media are unnecessary that doesn’t instantly make them bad yk #avatar the last airbender #Atla #netflix atla #netflix avatar #avatar live action #natla #natla positivity #natla review #natla critical #avatar analysis

When people continually whitewash my favourite characters.

^thank you @describe-things

#This is mainly about Noé Archiviste. But also I will not forget what some people did to Simon Petrikov either when I was watching f&c #I’m so desperate for drawings of them. But for the love of God，is it that difficult? Somehow every other hexadecimal of their #Character design is exactly on model other than their skin. Just. . #OH YEAH I FORGOT KAEYA. FFS. Somehow it’s always the K**luc-ers that always do it. Which makes sense because they disregard his entire char #And with the new influx of atla fans people have been whitewashing Katara too! And I mean drawings of the original show too #probably delete later #And no one seems to have any problems with it? Especially if it’s sexualised art *talking more about Kaeya & Noé here. #People who whitewash the few (and when I say few I literally mean 5/82 playable characters) darker genshin characters. Actually fuck off #If I see ‘it’s just my art style’ or ‘it’s just the lighting’ *every other colour than the skin hasn’t been lightened in the slightest* #One more time-i’m going to explode #Oh and while I’m on this topic! Fuck Bochum for whitewashing literally the entire starlight express cast! Electra being the first ever #non binary character in musical theatre while also being played by black actors. And then Bochum happened. #When was the last time Pearl or Rusty had actors who weren’t white? Literally the last character who hasn’t been replaced is Momma/Poppa. #And being black is so integral to their character and music. You quite physically couldn’t #I really really hope the casting for the London performance this year is like the 1984 cast again. Please.

the ATLA live action series is... actually very good??? I really didn't expect that.

(spoilers in the tags- beware!)

#i didnt like that they changed the sequence & reasoning behind the air nomad temple scene where aang finds dead gyatso #and i think they should have used a bit more 'show dont tell' a couple times. but other than that? IT'S GREAT. #avatar the last airbender #atla #netflix atla #my bestie (aka biggest atla fan in greece) and i watched eps 1-3 together and we are very pleasantly surprised #bc we expected it to be really bad but. it's actually very good!!! #i know we were all pissin our pants abt how they 'removed sokka's sexism' but they actually compensated for his character development- #-in other ways and the end result feels very close to og sokka. not weak or half assed at all #and i cant believe I'm saying that but actually i prefer this version of how he and suki interact than the og one? #also Suki is probably my fave casting choice so far. along with azula! #speaking of... *squishes azula*. that is A Baby.

idc what people are whining abt, i actually really enjoyed the netflix avatar series. the costume and set design was really beautiful, the effects were great, the performances were great. i think people are weirded out about the pacing and i understand that, but at the same time, they're working on netflix's budget and i think they did a great job utilizing the important material in book 1 to tell as well rounded of a story as they possibly could. and like sure, i get that it was jarring to see them start at the VERY beginning instead of starting w katara and sokka finding aang like the original show does for ex, but like. idk! i think they shouldn't feel obligated to hit every plot point beat for beat and i don't think we lost anything by establishing aang's background early on. actually, every single scene with master gyatso made me fucking bawl lol. aang's loss is soooo much more palpable in this show than the original one imo bc it lingers on that pain a lot more. there were a few story choices that kinda made me scratch my head a bit, like the fact that teo wasn't introduced as part of the new Northern Air Temple population and what effects that had on aang, but i'm really not mad about it. anyways i give it two big thumbs up and i hope it gets renewed for another season

#i hate it when uber fans get uppity bc the thing isn't exactly the same as the thing they love and they go into it w a shit attitude #i chose to be optimistic abt it and i really enjoyed myself watching this season today #also tho like seeing how much fun the cast had working on it and hearing them talk abt how rare this experience is #(the experience of working on a primarily asian and indigenous american casted show) #was like. a once in a lifetime.life changing event for them. and most anything that provides jobs for people of color in the art is a #net good imo #anyways give it a shot if you're curious abt it #i actually bawled so much throughout the whole season lol it made me sooo emotional #zukko and iroh will never fail to get me but the aang and master gyatso stuff also supremely fucked me up #also azula is way more sympathetic very early on this time around and i appreciate them being realistic #abt the fact that having an abusive father like ozai would fuck any child up #avatar the last airbender spoilers #atla spoilers #atla #avatar the last airbender

[notebookpapers]

honestly if natla has an ember island episode that completely shits on their own version of the show I will excuse every possible irredeemable quality about it

#listen I think the casting is FANTASTIC the acting is GREAT it’s just the writing is throwing me OFF #I think if you watched it with no knowledge of the og you’d like it #it’s probably good as a stand-alone adaptation but as a big time fan of the og I’m just like NO WHY IS IT DIFFERENT #netflix #natla #netflix atla #alta netflix #avatar the last airbender #netflix avatar

The making Sokka less sexist thing doesn't bother me because "it's such a big part of his character arc!" so much as it's a sign of how the showrunners will handle character flaws and difficult subjects going forward.

That combined with Sokka's actor being incredibly light-skinned, if not white (which I'm not qualified to get into), tells me the showrunners care more about paying lipservice to progressivism than they do about improving on the source material or being culturally accurate

#atla #I get disliking the portrayal of the water tribe culture as more sexist bc it plays into stereotypes #But I don't trust that that's what these showrunners were going for #Considering they didn't even bother with accurate casting. #Changing it to go against cultural stereotypes is the strongest argument I've seen but only from fans #All I've seen from people who worked on the show is that the sexism was 'iffy' and 'comes off different in live action'

Proud member of team give everyone in avatar tattoos and piercings

#even better if Aang is their artist #like when Sokka and Katara have traditional swt tattoos in fanart I go feral #(I know no one from the swt has tattoos in the show but let me have this) #Suki with little fan tattoos #idek what tattoos toph would have #probably just covered in patchwork cause she can’t see them anyway and Aang needed to practice on someone #lmao guarantee she asked for a bunch of kinda offensive pieces and Aang was like sure thing boss then just drew happy faces #art of Zuko with dragon tattoos fuckin hits me like a bus every time #also I think couples tattoos are really fucking dumb irl but Sokka and Zuko having matching lil sword tattoos it’s a YES from me dawg #y’know how the cast of lotr all got matching tattoos to honour the friendships they made while filming? I want that for the gaang too #atla

🤡

#i just finished watching the atla live action #as an avatar fan #I thought it was a wonderful adaptation! #the original is still the best #but this live action was still great #(esp when compared to that... OTHER live action) #i only had two real complaints #1. i didn't like how Bumi's intro was handled #it would've been way better if they stuck to revealing him as Aang's friend AFTER the fight tbh #like they did in the original #they didn't take advantage of the foreshadowing #instead he was just kinda like “yep i'm your childhood friend Bumi btw you're an asshole” right off the bat #2. it was too short 😭 #c'mon i binged that shit in two days #even though they were ~1hr long #8 episodes wasn't enough #bonus mini complaint: I needed more Momo and Appa #but all in all #i was very impressed with how much ground they were still able to cover in such a condensed format #the casting was A+++ #the references were done very tastefully #the things they did change didn't detract from the show at all #and in some ways added to it #it made me just as emotional as the original #anyways... eagerly waiting for season 2 #(it's happening... right??) #def excited to see my girl Toph #tragic clowning #avatar the last airbender #atla live action

[johnsspacesuittight]

finally got around to watching the live action ATLA and personally really enjoying it, nothing can top the og ofc, but love seeing it in a new format and the way I can so clearly recognise shots and almost entire scenes from the animated series makes it especially cool to me

#avatar the last airbender #atla live action #atla netflix #particularily big fan of Ian Ousley as Sokka bc he is imo the most perfect casting out of all them like he even SOUNDS like Sokka #big fan of the casting in general but I think that's mostly bc after the film the bar was so LOW

[dizzybevvie]

ive only seen up to like, 15 minutes into Warriors so far, but my primary issue is that Zuko is too reasonable

#no spoilers past this point please #the sets are gorgeous the effects are pretty good the casting is good #even if katara isnt as short tempered as id like her to be and aang cant cry #but zuko NEEDS to be angry he cant turn down fights he cant back away from being taunted and thats his main flaw in book 1 #he firebends with the muscles rather than the breath #im also not a huge fan of the weird little movements they do before bending #idk its not for me #Zuko NEEDS to be dislikable early on. so far hes just SOME GUY. he didnt even fight aang on his ship #beverly says stuff #atla #atla netflix #netflix atla spoilers #netflix atla
