#but everything clip i see of the live action GangTM feels like the showrunner sold the soul of the show for some hyperrealistic cgi bending

[endless-nightshift]

I lost all hope or trust for the 2024 live action ATLA when I heard talk of things happening in like episode 2 that originally took place in like ep 5 of the og show.

Any and all plot and character changes aside. The og atla, although having the old 20 ep season standard, is a decently fast-paced show. They literally go from the south poll to the North poll + detours in those 20 episodes.

I can't find it in me to believe that anyone could do any sort of justice to a story previously comprised of 20 distinct episodes in only 8 episodes.

I don't care that those episodes are, for some reason, the length of an overachieving short film (52mins)

I lose faith in something as soon as you start compressing storylines just for the sake of compressing things.

#i havent watched the life actions atla except for reviews and breakdowns #both positive and negative #no part of me ever been excited for a live actions ATLA #and despite the fact that the bar was in hell #i still manageable to be tepidly disappointed #i really i wish people would stop trying to live action things that were never meant to be live actioned #just like... #give animation the respect it deserves #and make new stories that have elements that would only shine in live action #instead of bastardizing classics in the name of live action #im sure the actors did a fine job of acting #but everything clip i see of the live action GangTM feels like the showrunner sold the soul of the show for some hyperrealistic cgi bending #Dallas Liu is doing a bang up job as zuko though #hats off to him #rant over i guess #atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar #atla netflix #netflix atla
