Worked for GI JoeHow would you even justify airing a children's cartoon based on a movie about USA military propaganda and weapon advertisement?
I mean Avatar is also a show that involved genocide and racism (Towards the Fire Nation as seen in the episode where Zuko went to that town alone and was shunned especially towards the kid he befriended once revealing being a Fire Bender).How would you even justify airing a children's cartoon based on a movie about USA military propaganda and weapon advertisement?
Finally gonna sell kids a Tom Cruise action figure until they get recalled because they all try to indoctrinate the kids into scientology.Worked for GI Joe
He kids, your teacher may put on Bill Nye the Science Guy every once in a while. Science rules? Wanna learn more, join our science club, Scientology. Together we can use science and take down these nondescripent terrorists from unspecefied foriegn countryFinally gonna sell kids a Tom Cruise action figure until they get recalled because they all try to indoctrinate the kids into scientology.
I mean, the whole point of Avatar is that genocide and racism are bad.I mean Avatar is also a show that involved genocide and racism (Towards the Fire Nation as seen in the episode where Zuko went to that town alone and was shunned especially towards the kid he befriended once revealing being a Fire Bender).
Also as Mighty said. It worked for GI Joe apparently. What difference would a Top Gun animated series make?
There's a world of difference between tackling those themes and being pure American military propaganda.I mean Avatar is also a show that involved genocide and racism (Towards the Fire Nation as seen in the episode where Zuko went to that town alone and was shunned especially towards the kid he befriended once revealing being a Fire Bender).
I don't think you understand the Avatar's themes like, at allI mean Avatar is also a show that involved genocide and racism (Towards the Fire Nation as seen in the episode where Zuko went to that town alone and was shunned especially towards the kid he befriended once revealing being a Fire Bender).
Not quite. Avatar is an anti-imperialist story where a pacifist and his friends take down a war-mongering empire and do not kill unless 100% necessary. GI Joe is all about glorifying war and how the good guys win and the bad guys lose, and the good guys in this instance is America which is kinda the thing Aang and his friends fought againstBut what about GI Joe? Doesn't that kinda tackle the same thing as well?
I mean, Top Gun Maverick is looking to be the biggest movie of the year which is also American propaganda so...Now while I was kinda kidding, I'm not sure if they could get away with a GI Joe like show in 2022 nowadays. The world was way more conservative in the 80s (think Reagan and the Iran Contra Affairs + Cold War) and ultra patriotic. GI Joe and especially Top Gun were just military recruiting tatics.
In 2022, anti war sentiments are significantly more common, especially among millenials, so people are gonna be far more wary of it.
Why, don't you think it's racist to dislike people of genocidal imperialist nations?I don't think you understand the Avatar's themes like, at all
Tbf so are a lot of MCU movies. Ironically though, the Captain American films are more anti-American when you look into it.I mean, Top Gun Maverick is looking to be the biggest movie of the year which is also American propaganda so...
You joke but I think it really depends on whether or not the person in question did something badWhy, don't you think it's racist to dislike people of genocidal imperialist nations?
Zuko also went through and entire arc of realizing the consequenses of his actions and shedding any imperialist bias he had and defected to realize his Uncle's dream. This is something that also happens irl and far more common than you realize, but they aren't really... beloved as Zuko.You joke but I think it really depends on whether or not the person in question did something bad
In the context of the show though, Zuko is literally the prince of the fire nation so the townsfolk's reaction to the reveal is completely justified
Zuko's character arc is peak fictionZuko also went through and entire arc of realizing the consequenses of his actions and shedding any imperialist bias he had and defected to realize his Uncle's dream. This is something that also happens irl and far more common than you realize, but they aren't really... beloved as Zuko.
Genocide is based actuallyWhy, don't you think it's racist to dislike people of genocidal imperialist nations?

But the graphicsWhat about them? All I see are fun MK tracks
Gamers spending more time analysing digital grass when they should be going out and touching it smh my headBut the graphics
Yeah…. Nickelodeon is really all they got.The only way I'd be down for a Top Gun animated series by Nick is if they got writers as good as that of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Because otherwise given Nick nowadays screw that.
A Quiet Place.
Imagine a horror-based animated series based on that?
But as if that would ever happen.
Also the following.
-Beverly Hills Cop
-Cloverfield
-Crocodile Dundee
-G.I. Joe
-Jack Ryan
-Meet the Parents
-Paranormal Activity
-Scream
-Sonic movie series
-Spy Kids
-The Bad News Bear
-The Crow

Clearly it's an epic troll and he's gonna launch straight into 500 episodes of Xenoblade 3.How about that Chuggaaconroy, y'all?
With Splatoon 2 finished, he says his next let's play is a game from his childhood. I'm thinking it could be one of two things:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. A Pokemon game of some kind (maybe Let's Go as it is TECHNICALLY a game he could've played in his childhood, just remade. Could also count as a FireRed re-LP in that case)
Yes because you can't spell Genocide without GenoGenocide is based actually
Just because the chinchilla Pokemon is a neat freak doesn't mean chinchillas are clean. Hope you like cleaning up a million droppings every day.I want a Chinchilla, but my mom is deathly afraid of rodents.
Wait aren’t you making a game about a ferret?I want a Chinchilla, but my mom is deathly afraid of rodents.
Sad.
Ferrets are cool too but they smell like smash fans, so idk.
So you should get one of those as a pet!No.
Opossum
Husky mix I assume?
I don’t think that’s legal.So you should get one of those as a pet!
if people can get tigers as pets, then there's probably a way for you to do a possum.I don’t think that’s legal.
Possum and Opossum are two different animals sisif people can get tigers as pets, then there's probably a way for you to do a possum.
