Next up for art is Dudley from Street Fighter 3. He's really cool so I was happy I got around to drawing him at some point.

Itou admitted to the charge, though according to authorities he claimed that he had "done it with other people, so [he couldn't] tell if it was this girl or not."

Damn dude

I think I'm probably gonna just watch the OG series again

You know I completely forgot there was a 2nd Avatar Movie.

I mean the blue people. Not the greatest movie of all time The Last Airbender.

 

[Dukefire]

I honestly wonder why making a live action Avatar The Last Airbender movie was a good idea. I'll stick to the original material

You say this as a jest but there's already people being kinder to it on account of being less terrible than the Netflix show.


Speaking of Netflix shows, I finally have the ONE volume in Dungeon Meshi I was missing so I'm gonna binge read the **** out of it, already past the point the anime's likely gonna end and I can just tell Trigger has the opportunity to do the most evil cliffhanger **** ever lmao

Is the show really that bad? I really can't imagine it being worse than TLA of all things.

I have heard nothing about the show, which somehow feels worse than if it were a hilarious trainwreck like Shyamalan's movie.

I recommend you keep it forgotten because I saw it a while back and that's three hours of my life I wish I still had.

I genuinely don't believe you

 

[Schnee117]

Simply put, Netflix’s take on Avatar: The Last Airbender is bad. At best, the show serves as a constant reminder of how amazing the original Nickelodeon cartoon was. At worst, it makes M.Night Shyamalan‘s 2010 The Last Airbender film feel like a mercy because at least that poor effort was only 2 hours long

Oh it's ****ing dog**** lmao

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Oh it's ing dog lmao

There's no ****ing way it's that awful

It's not that I can't believe it's bad, I expected that the moment I heard they took out Sokka's sexism, but there's simply no way people are saying it's better than that movie I only watched 16 minutes of and couldn't watch anymore

My mom told me when I was young to never go online until she let me when I got older.

I somehow always find a way online but she kicked me off it real fast and I just ****ed with MS Paint lol

Ngl, I think it was the casting that blared alarms that something was wrong for a lot of people.

Like I know diversity casting is an issue for some (and I won't get into it because no), but Avatar genuinelly had a very diverse cast from the jump in terms of ethnicity and race, and ironically, Netflix really didn't cast with respect to tje diversity the original have.

Like iirc Sokka's was racist and wasn't even native (let alone brown).

Wait they literally made Sokka white again???

That was actually one of the things that made me stop watching the movie

Better yet, a white boy who pretended to be indigenous so he could get cast if I remember the story right seeing as he's the outlier

 

[TheMightyP]

That waa the story yeah.

Katara's actor dodged the controveray because she Native American.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Yeah I heard that one and I just discussed it with my friends

I just didn't realize he was white. That actually kinda pisses me off, I may be white myself but I know white people stealing roles meant for PoC isn't uncommon, and for some egotistical white boy to do it for this show after the absolute catastrophy that was the movie that got rightfully bashed for whitewashing the cast is just... The audacity...

 

[KingofPhantoms]

IIRC, a big problem with the live-action Avatar film is that the executives really, really meddled with it.

Like, at a certain point, Shyamalan basically lost all but the bare minimum of creative control over it. Some of the problems of the film may have been his doing, but most of it can be traced back to ****ty decisions by the executives stepping in constantly.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Anyway shout out to One Piece Netflix, pretty sure Emily Rudd is the only fully white actress on the straw hats

 

[Noipoi]

Why can’t they leave my favorite show alone?

I mean you're right but we're talking about the other Live Action Avatar which apparently sucks too foe the same reasons (aside from Shyamalan).

Avatar fans will get a good adaptation... eventually.

What is it with isekai animes and slavery these days?

Here’s a cute girl. She is legally your property

 

[PK-remling Fire]

IIRC casting was trying to get relatively close to Oda's canonical ethnicities of the Strawhats, Hispanic Luffy (I think Oda said Brazillian), Swedish Nami, Japanese Zoro, South African Usopp, and French Sanji.

So I guess we have Canadian Chopper and Russian Nico Robin to look forward to for season 2

Why are you watching isekai regardless?

Pretty sure Zoro's the only one that matches the original ethnicity Oda had in mind 100%. Idk if Nami's actress has any Swedish ancestry and for Usopp he just said "African" which I guess he did get right since Jacob Romero is African-American.

For Luffy he said Brazillian, and Inaki Godoy is Mexican, while Sanji's actor is British-Spanish-Arabic. So I wouldn't necessarily count on these. Then again I might be coping because I want Robin to be brown again

It also made my boy Sanji a Canary Islands icon among the fandom in spanish speaking communities, which is based.

The thing with isekai is that it's a power fantasy, Japan does the whole 'everyone in society is a cog in a machine' so that's why their protags are typically OP as ****. Owning women is a power fantasy for incels who don't shower, don't do anything to make themselves look nice and don't want a relationship where they have to do anything for their partners. They all want slaves, specifically slaves they can have sex with. A lot of isekai trash panders towards incels. It's like, a cycle

 

[Jocario Zero]

I really hope Netflix doesn't screw up One Piece after all. I really liked season 1.

 

[Noipoi]

I found a YouTube video on the topic I actually hate anime

 

[Hex D. Jess]

I really hope Netflix doesn't screw up One Piece after all. I really liked season 1.

I don't see much of a reason to doubt them, Oda is still involved and the studio that made Avatar is different from the one that made One Piece. I do hope season 2 is good tho, I hope they do Alabasta justice
