It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I'm not super duper mad or anything, I wasn't gonna watch it either way (Legend of Korra was lib as fuck). I just think Avatar was a very tight solid story, and it's fascinating how much some producers can look at solid character arcs and not understand them, why they're there and how they work
It reads like they're trying very hard to justify cutting all the "unimportant" episodes where we slowly have the characters better understand each other and the world was better fleshed out. All so that the new show can be 10 episodes a season.
Remaking things has never appealed to me, I don't get it, I have the original good thing on my shelf, i will watch it as I want. Your new thing seems like yoy wanted money but didn't want to risk making something new. Cowardly producers want more money but are so afraid of producing a thing that isn't instantly popular.
Yeah it would honestly be better if they just said "we don't have the budget to show all these adventures, so we're gonna have to get creative".
It wouldn't be fine, because those adventures are the point of the show, but it would be better. Would at least show they understand it.
There's always something admirable about a creative admitting what their limits are and how that has altered the production of their art. Rather than just trying pretend the limits don't exist and spinning it as "actually I'm very clever to avoid these obvious flaws from the original", so they can cover for their bosses not giving them the budget they need to actually bring the project in successfully.
