12 and 15 year olds can have crushes. Why do we have to act like children don't experience love between friends? It's part of growing up and part of the human experience.

Only 1 episode in, but I already love it for how cool the bending looks so far. The second Sozin incinerated a guy while holding him, I was sold.

maybe they regard it as a separate revenue stream, so they can doubledip into what their demographics and marketing departments tell them are two completely independent audiences, cartoons vs live action. There's gotta be some reason because there's nobody who wants this, nobody who thinks it's a good idea, and nobody who is not filled with trepidation and a vague nausea at its release, who is also a fan of the original show.

I also don't believe it can be true that there is a subset of people who are too manly/serious and "absolutely will not watch cartoons" that overlaps with "would watch this obvious adaptation of a children's show".

But yeah, they don't think that way I guess. Anyway I'm just glad it's not another butcher job. Gonna give it a while before I watch it, I want them to understand this is nobody's priority. (An Earthbender Avatar, however.... that's day 1 binge territory)

People with brain rot that think that animation is a lower art form, so they would've never even gave the original show a second glance.
