Can't wait for Korra to meet Aang when she's in her Avatar state. As Aang once met Roku.
It's going to be insane.

 

[Megidolaon]

Well, I had plans to wait until the tv air date, but I cracked. It's Avatar after all and I've been pumped for this show since its announcement. I really enjoyed it. Got all nostalgic for the old series and as with the old series I can't wait for the next episode.

-Almost teared up when Katara mentioned Sokka and her friends having passed.

-The animation and art quality is superb. The original series always had great animation, but it's even better this time around. Can't wait to see it in HD.

-It's definitely a bit more mature this time around. Republic City reminds me of Ba Sing Se with its urban vices and political unrest. Very interesting.

-Even with the more mature tone, its still got that signature Avatar humor that I loved. Even Tenzin ws funny at times.

-The music is also worth noting. My favorite was the ending credits theme. It was wistful and a bit sad, unlike the original's credits. But overall, the music stood out. and complemented the scenes.

-Korra is a very likable character. Nice to see a strong female lead character for once. Look forward to seeing how Korra's companions develop.

That movie gave my very soul a disease. It was faithful to the show in all the wrong ways ("Hey guys, I'm going to cram the plot of every single episode from season one into here, but I forgot to put in any characterisation and I made the bending look like a magic shaman dance instead of, you know, bending. That's the twist.") and just-- just horrible. Korra is the cure.

I actually never watched the movie after a friend of mine had seen it and told me it almost ruined the franchise for him. And now I never will probably.

I know this phrase is overused as hell, but Avatar the Movie was the only movie I've ever walked out of...

after ten minutes.

I've sat through crappy movies before, but I simply couldn't take this one. I'd call it the worst movie I've ever seen, if only because it was so painfull to watch. Even if you aren't a fan of the series, the Last Airbender movie is just the prime example of bad directing, horrible casting, and unbearable writing.
Being a fan of the series however it really really hurt, not just on a psychological level, but also on a physical level as I was facepalming like Sokka during those 10 minutes. (complete with the red hand mark on my forehead)

How did you see it early?

 

[WillyFive]

How did you see it early?

It was shown off to the press. It's how most people here saw it. If you weren't here, then you might have to wait till it premieres on Facebook or on Nick.

haha

 

[GCX]

Not everyone knows that 85% of GAF members are journalists!

 

[Desmond]

The Duke.

I'M CALLING IT

I called it in another thread AGES AGO BEFORE YOU



/who cares

 

[WillyFive]

Well, we did go into the press site and mooch off them.

We are all random bloggers venting about shitty games. It has its perks sometimes

 

[Poyunch]

At least the reactions to The Last Airbender were entertaining.

 

[Black-Box]

deleting because I dont know if it is against rules to post a link to the episode

It's pretty easy to find anyway.

You know, I'll gladly read people's discussions with one another about a children's television show on the internet hell I'll even participate, but there's something about watching people do the same in real life that makes me want to rip my skin off.

Honestly it's just the fight reenactments that I found funny.

 

[Akainu]

Only because sharp weapons aren't allowed to hit flesh in a children's show.

Want to beat Mai one on one? Go in half naked. You can't lose.

I know they said they won't comment on the movie, but I really would like to know what Michael and Bryan think about that movie :/

 

[Wiseblade]

Not everyone knows that 85% of GAF members are viral marketers!

Fixed. There are a few people on GAF who really should be getting paid by certain companies if they aren't already.

Want to beat Mai one on one? Go in half naked. You can't lose.

Too true. She can't touch you if you have nothing to pin to a wall.

 

[Epcott]

Wow, amazing first episode! I need more.

(Edit: Opps, let me remove the youtube link of the episode)

Are men allowed to tear their shirts off mid-battle in Avatar or is that too risque?

 

[Maffis]

Just saw it. Animation is superb, and so is music. Really digging it!

It's so sad to hear that all the original cast members are dead, except for Katara At least they died of natural causes (hopefully).

Nope, only Sokka "and many of her friends" are gone, so there is still hope. Oh and Aang obviously.

 

[Ferrio]

Something Really bugs me about the first episode. That's the huge statue of Aang. It's so very un-aang like have some huge towering statue of his likeness. His character would of been quite opposed to it I think.

I have a feeling not *all* of them were natural causes

Wha? He wasn't all that opposed to it in Avatar Day...

 

[Ferrio]

Wha? He wasn't all that opposed to it in Avatar Day...

Ya but there's a bit of a difference. One celebrates all avatars over the course of a single day. The other is a huge ominous statue of a single person towering over a city.

 

[Malo]

Hyped for this!

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

For all we know, the statue was erected after Aang croaked.

 

[2th]

Wha? He wasn't all that opposed to it in Avatar Day...

he was all about being praised for his awesomeness early on in the series but as he matured over that year of his life he came to downplay his status as the avatar in order to get praise. so i can see where Ferrio is coming from.

 

[Rokam]

I just assumed it was built after he died. Kind of hard to oppose it from the grave.

 

[apana]

He did kind of save the world and help build republic city so it is not that strange that people would have been adamant about building a statue of him. Eventhough others helped quite a bit he was the face of the victory. Besides it probably is not so difficult for earth benders to erect a gigantic statue anyways.

 

[CoolS]

yeah, I'm with you guys that the statue was erected after Aang had died. It does seem unlikely that he would want it there while he was still alive.

 

[CrazyDude]

Anyways, monuments to people are usually built after they die anyways.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So... does episode 1 air on the 24th?

If you don't want to watch the leak, then yes, it should, since the Facebook page has more than 106.00 likes right now.

 

[ckohler]

Does anyone know if this is going to be available on iTunes?

Shut up and take my money, Nick!

 

[Raxus]

At least the reactions to The Last Airbender were entertaining.

It also gave us this.

 

[CornBurrito]

Do it!! You know you want it!

You are going to rewatch it anyway...

 

[williamsan]

It's so soon! I had no idea! I'm so very, very excited for this.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Want to watch it in glorious HD.

And the stream kept dying on me

 

[Wiseblade]

Does anyone know if this is going to be available on iTunes?

Shut up and take my money, Nick!

Maybe not after airing, but will almost definitely come with the DVD/BD releases.

Oh Baby, I hope so.

 

[Blackhead]

What time do iTunes releases go out after the broadcast?

 

[TetraxShards]

Dear God yes. I'd forgotten this was coming. Just hook it to my veins, Nick!

 

[Wiseblade]

Oh Baby, I hope so.

Why wouldn't there be? The show is in HD and the Avatar DVDs sold really well IIRC. at the very least, expect 720p versions on itunes.
