DangerousJ Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I just finished bScott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix I've only watched the 2010 film ,not the original comics Pros: Art/animation and music Some characterization for the exes and side characters Humor is similar in style to the film. Cons Due to the plot, Scott isn't prominent. 8/10 OPTIMUS124 and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

TheInfernoman Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 The new black characters at least isn't just "Black Timmy" and it's own thing BUT it's still not a wholly original show anymore plus...fairly odd parents is not something people were hyped to see rebooted. I have gotten over rebooting things... You want a good show that does feature a black kid? Watch Craig of the Creek. If you did then watch it again. the easter eggs/reference/homages alone are fun to catch. Darc_Requiem and Wellman 1 1 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I mean the Odd Parents weren't really Timmy's Mom and Dad if I remember right? They are fairies that try and fill that void...badly...or something. So I don't see why they couldn't have a new kid to take care of after Timmy grows up it whatever. HD-Man 1 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Those were the rules of fairies in the old show. I also believe once the kids grew up their memories of fairies were erased from their mind or something like that. I'm willing to give the new show a shot if the original creators are somehow involved Quote Link to comment

Didn't even realize this show actually had a couple deep episodes like that hidden in it especially since it's been so long since I've watched it. I'm really curious as to how he's going to react when Primal gets blown up at the end of Season 1. Edit: Edited January 16 by Sonichuman BornWinner and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

Sonichuman Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Oof.... This is actually one of those moments where you're actually too woke and you actually end up missing a point or end up offending anyway. As people are pointing out the comments...they completely missed the point of his mysogyny and it actually ends up taking away from his character arc. This was definitely a mistake so now when they get to female warriors he supposed to get humbled and learn and it works in a pay off later...now he won't even have that. Are they just gonna relegate him to being butt monkey now and nothing else? RSG3, Darc_Requiem, BornWinner and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
BornWinner Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I was just honing to post that. Yeah, it completely misses the point of Sokka’s initial growth if you take away his sexism. It was one of the first steps of Sokka growing from a cynical snarker to a reliable leader. What are they going to do with him for the first season? Just make him the funny guy? Not to mention that his sexism wasn’t portrayed as positive at any point. Being sensible at one point but now outdated considering the universe. The fact that Sokka believes that at first gives it a sense of irony considering the women they meet as soon as they leave their home. I see no point in taking it away because the series never agrees with that point. Sonichuman and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

Modern Hollywood writers are just trash. I was going to give this show a chance but this shows why I shouldn't waste my time. Did they destroy Kitara's arc too?

One change they did mention that I do like is showing the slaughter of thw air nomads but the article didn't mention anything else. But yeah...that article definitely reminded me that the original showrunners left for a reason I don't this was it...its probably a straw in the pile. I'm still giving the show a shot but I feel this was a very bad mistep. Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Maybe they've replaced it with a different negative character trait to grow out of... Maybe he's just a generic jerk now instead of a sexist one lol I dunno, I'm spitballin and hoping for yall lol. Quote Link to comment

I'm still giving the show a shot but I feel this was a very bad mistep. I agree. I think this is an indicator of them doing wholesale changes to character arcs and as I creator, I know I'd tell them to kick rocks. Especially after what happened with the last live action attempt at Avatar. I mean you'd think Netflix would have learned by now. They done multiple live action adaptations. The ones that were faithful to the source material were successful. If you would have told they would have succeeded with something as zany as One Piece, I would have called you crazy. Not into myself, but the fans seemed to be happy with it. I checked out Yu Yu Hakusho and I was surprised by accuracy of that one as well. The shows where made changes tanked. So continuing down that road is the definition of insanity. Side note: What's all this talk about people having issue with the casting? I thought that was the one point they'd done well on this time around. Quote Link to comment

I thought that was the one point they'd done well on this time around. From what I’ve seen, it comes to two things. One, the actors playing the water tribe are too light skinned. Two, that Azula’s actress is a 14 year old. The water tribe actors are portrayed by the real world equivalent of the water tribe so they can shove it (Except for maybe Sokka’s actor who may be just white). And watching the cartoon makes you forget that Azula is 14 years old or at least younger than Zuko. Not many people her age look like that. Other than those, I’ve seen no complaints about the casting. I remember everyone loving the casting of the fire nation, barring Azula. Quote Link to comment

Sokka's actor is Native American from the Cherokee tribe according to Wiki. The Wiki linked to an article with the showrunner and this Sokka thing, character arc change, goes directly against what he said in it. "I also knew what I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to change things for the sake of change. I didn’t want to modernize the story, or twist it to fit current trends. Aang is not going to be a gritty antihero. Katara is not going to get curtain bangs. (I was briefly tempted to give Sokka a TikTok account though. Think of the possibilities.)" -Source https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/avatar-last-airbender-netflix-live-action-cast-showrunner-1234996517/ Edited January 30 by Darc_Requiem AriesWarlock and BornWinner 1 1 Quote Link to comment
