Re: So, Nickelodeon Made a Studio for Avatar
In terms of influence - at least the way I see it, ATLA got a larger place in the pop cultural hivemind, not helped by Nickelodeon deciding to take Korra off television completely during its run. I've talked to a good number of people that at least remember Avatar (and now this is making me feel old...

Re: Rock & Rule
As someone who loves rock music, I'll have to check this movie out. I was completely unaware of it. The main question I have is: for what reason are they animals? At least from the review there don't seem to be the kind of funny animal gags/slapstick that you'd expect from a Disney movie, but neithe...

Re: My Biggest Issue with Zuko's Redemption Arc
I liked Zuko's arc, but I agree that the last couple of episodes of Book 2 are weird for him - which is odd because otherwise Book 2 might be my favorite season of ATLA, with the format and storytelling being tightened up from S1, and two new major characters being introduced excellently. As you sai...

Re: Did Raya and the Last Dragon Fix Disney's Villain Problem?
I'll preface this by saying that I lost touch with Disney movies over the last 5+ years, so I haven't seen Moana or Wreck-it Ralph. No real argument with your points (although this does make me want to check out Raya), but I figured I'd throw in my two cents and say that one of my favorite Disney mo...

Re: Possible Attack on Titan review?
At least it's slightly more comprehensible than Escaflowne.

Re: Possible Attack on Titan review?
Please spoiler tag that! While I'd actually be interested to see Chuck look at Attack on Titan's story and themes, but it'd be a big project to do the full thing. AoT is getting ready for its 4th and apparently final season, but that's still a lot of episodes. (Personally I actually prefer the art s...

Re: VOY - Drive
Years too early I know, but I can't help but think the episode would have been improved by addition of this Expanse cover.AndrewGPaul wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 8:58 pm The song that comes to mind for me is this one:

Re: Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened
I think it does go back to SF Debris comment that space was a true unknown at the time, and maybe that's the part that can never really be recaptured for the modern audience. In Alien, the horror of space is the idea that humans, driven by greed, are venturing into a vast and uncaring wilderness whe...

Re: Yuuzhan Vong War Discussion
The big problem with the Yuuzhan Vong is that, narratively, they make Palpatine, Tarkin, Thrawn, etc., right. In the face of an external threat that the Jedi could not face, the Republic would not be ready for said threat. In this case, intergalactic invaders. It never would be either, due to all t...

Re: Where is the logic in this?
I had meant merely in terms of Mecha82's comments as to how most would never accept a Han Solo that is not Harrison Ford. And yet there is the deepfaking technology to consider too, most prominent in Rogue One. We apparently came away from Rogue One with very different estimations of the deepfake's...
