Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise

  Well, it’s better than the actual ATLA movie.

    There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.

    There also is no live action TV adaptation.

    Oddly enough, the Shyalaman movie is my favorite version of that whole franchise.

      Ok I’m trying to be as open minded as possible here, but…how?

        I didn't like the art style of the cartoon, that's a big part of it. I also appreciated the story being condensed - the movie cut out what amounts to about 11 hours of padding. The only thing I saw as being questionable was the Earthbender section (I watched that episode just for Sulu voicing the bad guy), but I think the point of their spirits being broken is even more pronounced when they're literally on ground, rather than trapped in the water.

        So basically, the animation and the time.

      Some people just love watching the crashes more than the race…

  That’s even weirder really, the movie was so forgettable.

  It didn’t help that it came out around the same time as the ATLA movie.
