Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you?
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe biggest injustice to me is that no one dares criticize the original ATLA.
I’ve seen a few good critical essays and videos, honestly less contrived than a lot of Korra/NATLA criticism, and they get snuffed into oblivion.

Good point! That’s definitely treated as not acceptable, at least beyond criticisms of the first season.

Season one had some problems trying to find its place, but that’s also pretty common for a lot of shows. Season three had serious pacing issues due to the writers’ strike. I’d be interested in seeing what season 2 criticism is like.

Season 2 has a lot of slow episodes. 2-5 are not great, IMO.
But there’s more fundamental “it’s not totally the show’s fault” criticism too, like the really awful video quality (even on the blu-rays), and the general maturity level and jokes. And TBH Zuko/Iroh kinda carried the show for me until Toph shows up.
