western-series

[scenic frost]

Edgedancer ||Ahh excuse me, I mean Lift is soooo Awesom||

Edgedancer ||I kind of liked Nale's growth though it felt a little too abrupt, but that's expected given the short length||

[brave orbit]

Edgedancer ||You got to the sleepless!! They are some of my favourites ||

[scenic frost]

Edgedancer ||Idk only got introduced to one sleepless and dang that dude seems pretty impressive||

Edgedancer ||So like are all cremlins in the world part of some sleepless's body?||

[brave orbit]

Edgedancer ||They popped up dozens of times in stormlight btw, they are described as weird looking cremlings which act like spies since they are a hive mind. Hoid in fact talks to one and actually insults him in the wor epilogue ||

[scenic frost]

Oh yeah I remember that

Hang the fuck on

Edgedancer / WoR ||So Hoid was actually insulting the sleepless and not a random animal||

Lmao

WoR epilogue ||for some reason I thought hoid might just have been talking to an animal 😂😂||

Edgedancer ||At first I had thought the old man was actually Hoid lol, tho the description did seem a little off||

[brave orbit]

||It's fucking hilarious lmao ||

Edgedancer ||called a whole species idiots lmao ||

[burnt lake]

ATLA ||finished book 1, forgot how spiritual the series gets kinda insane ngl||

[scenic frost]

Dare I?

[brave orbit]

DO IT!

[scenic frost]

Hmm very tempting

[glacial jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-darkside-star-wars-evil-innerme-gif-13048146

[scenic frost]

Idk man if I am not able to then read for 4-5 days I still be broken

Fuck it

I will give me Kindle to someone else for a week if it gets too tempting

Let's go

[brave orbit]

You doing it?

[scenic frost]

Yes

OB prologue ||Eshonai POV||

Daaamn that reminds me

WoR ending ||she dead* ||

[brave orbit]

😔

[scenic frost]

I think I am gonna leave it at prologue today

Will read part 1 tomorrow and then whenever I get time for the rest

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5 ||feel like the unique abilities of each of the orders haven’t been showcased much. Jasnah can soulcast but that’s not unique to her order, I guess her order specific abilities were what let her come back to life? I kinda forgot. Szeth as far as I can recall has been the same as a wind runner, dunno what else Skybreakers can do. Dalinar..fixes things and bonds them I guess. And kaladin should be able to do something more I think? Since his abilities right now aren’t much more than Szeth’s|| don’t open aka

[scenic frost]

Ofc not

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||Each order has 2 surges, so every order has some type of the same surge to another order. For skybreakers, they have the gravitation one which also are part of the windrunners. Jasnah has elsecalling, which includes soulcasting and teleportation to shadesmar, the soulcasting one is also a part of Shallan's surges but she is much less experienced at it ||

||Let me get a diagram ||

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5 ||so different orders learn their second surges as wildly different stages I guess? Because Shallan has been lighweaving for ages, but kaladin is almost as the 4th or 5th ideal and I can’t even recall him using his second surge||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||His second surge is implemented with the lashings, Szeth can only use basic lashings as a skybreaker, while kaladin can use reverse lashings and full lashing (the second surge being adhesion )||

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5 ||oh||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||Shallan doesn't know how to soulcast, which is why we have her trying to turn pattern into fire scene lol ||

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5 ||yeh I know||

||Jasnah is op though ||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||I know right, she is super powerful, especially since her abilities were also enhanced by Dalinar summoning Honor's perpendicularity during that battle ||

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5 ||so what are the limits of the capabilities of squires? Can someone like teft gain the exact same abilities as kaladin?||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||They can get to the first ideal, but they need to bond a spren to proceed further and be indipendent ||

[glacial jetty]

OB part 5|| so once they’ve bonded a Soren they’re no longer dependent on the full radiant?||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||Teft bonded a spren when he swore the new oath so yea he can get kaladin's abilities ||

[glacial jetty]

poggitos

OB part 5 ||I’m real worried about bridge four tho there aren’t many OG members left||

[brave orbit]

OB part 5 ||Yea once they bond a spren they are a full radiant which can also get more squires ||

[brave orbit]

You finished it?

[scenic frost]

Prologue, yeah

Some very interesting stuff

[brave orbit]

OB prologue ||Thoughts on Gavilar? 👀 ||

[scenic frost]

OB prologue ||He's... well he's not what I expected, at the least||

[brave orbit]

lol

[scenic frost]

OB prologue ||I want to condemn him for trying to knowingly start a world ending war, but... I can sort of see where he's coming from, about needing a way to unite his people||

OB prologue ||he definitely was wrong in his means, but he did have the right idea about needing a binding force to unite alethkar.||

OB prologue ||I find it ironic that his death indeed served the purpose of starting a war that according to his reasoning should have united the Alethi, but we all know how that ended up||

OB prologue ||What hurts me the most is that Dalinar has been looking to emulate a man who really would have knowingly brought about ruin and destruction on the world, all the while thinking doing that would save the world. I am glad he will probably see things differently now with being bonded to Stormfather and having the other radiants around him probably, tho the original intent remains the same as Gavillar||

OB prologue ||Amaram being thr guy actually trying to carry out what Gavillar was doing is kinda scary to think off, just goes to illustrate how Gavillar wasn't the shining idol of a good king I thought him to be||

Aight I am donw

Actually, OB Prologue ||I am curious about what the darkness is||

[brave orbit]

OB prologue ||Yep 😔 ||

[scenic frost]

Now really done

[lunar creek]

Ngl if Harry came back in no way home it would be pretty hype

Especially after the ending of spiderman 3 ||with that tag team||

[outer tulip]

What if || Harry never put on the green goblin suit || sm3

[lunar creek]

||he would maybe expose Peter being spiderman, I mean there's nothing else he could do||spiderman 3

Also ||seeing that everyone will forget Tom is spiderman, Tom might make his own homemade suit down the line||

No way home trailer

Ngl I'm kinda tired of the mcu suit for some reason

[copper phoenix]

[brave orbit]

Stormlight 5 progress bar

Best thing

[copper phoenix]

ah yes I fucking love progress bars

[brave orbit]

[outer tulip]

lol I'd love to see what he comes up with for his suit

[copper phoenix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq2N-9EmedA

yo wtf

[brave orbit]

Yea it looks pretty good

[copper phoenix]

the fact they're trying to keep the og essence instead of changing stuff just for the sake of live action is a good thing in my book

another thing for the end year list

it's gonna be so funny what they gonna do with op

I can't wait to see that madness

[white smelt]

OP live action is going to revolutionize the industry

[trim thunder]

or its going to doom it

[brave orbit]

^

[outer tulip]

Haha nice

This made it real for me lol

[burnt lake]

took the pottermore test

I got Gryffindor

[burnt lake]

[worldly wharf]

It's already on it's post production phase

[burnt lake]

Will Ed Be in Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop?
"As of right now, we don’t know!"

-some news site

[hoary hawk]

we love some news site

[karmic pendant]

for something the song of that fight was called Duel of the fates

with the death of maul ||(He was alive actually as we saw in clone wars, but it was like dead)|| and dooku being palpatine apprentice, the first one started the galactic war (separatists against clones) and with that war, palpatine tooked more power and influence to anakin

and we know how that ended

[magic bloom]

gotta tag that those

huge ep1 spoils lol

[feral blaze]

Thought they deconfirmed it.

[white smelt]

You know that didn't even dawn on me since it's such a huge part of pop culture. My bad, I shoulda said something

[burnt lake]

Idk this was in August so

If there's any new source then it's outdated

[outer tulip]

just remove it... this spoils everything

[rich meadow]

@north sun you a Korra fan?

[hoary hawk]

yea

[rich meadow]

nice

[north sun]

Not as much but I haven’t watched all of it

I like ||Amon|| Korra

[glacial jetty]

Korra is good

[copper phoenix]

korra is pog

[hoary hawk]

have u seen szn 3

[outer tulip]

Korra is trash

[feral blaze]

It’s alright

[rich meadow]

Korra ||It's definitely good for majority of it. Obviously not as good as atla but that's pretty impossible. Books 1 and 3 are great imo||

[glacial jetty]

Korra is a solid 7.5/10 or 🙂

ATLA is a solid 9.5/10 or

[magic bloom]

Korra || books 1,3 and 4 are the best so far, peaking with 3. Book 2 has a strong start and could’ve been good but halfway through it just… gets really bad ||

[sage remnant]

AtLA until the last season

|| That lion turtle thing is still the biggest asspull I have ever seen || atla book 3

[glacial jetty]

||Stuff like Ozai being kinda meh character wise and I guess the lion turtle thing (although I didn’t really mind it) are the only reasons I woudlnt give it a 10|| atla all books

[outer tulip]

ATLA literally gives me chills everytime i watch it

so good

[sage remnant]

That was a huge turn off for me. || I didn't really care about Ozai being an anticlimatic villain (if that'd the proper word). AtLA was about the journey of Aang as a last airbender and as an avatar. The answer he came to wasn't due to his journey, neither was due to his past as an airbender that shaped him, but due to a Lion Turtle thing. I also didn't like Zuko's character arc being dragged on and felt it was kinda badly done when I watched it. Now I think it was good and the beach thing really did the job well. Also the last three ep couldn't live up to the expectations created by the few ep before that|| AtLA

|| also you don't finish the reveal of one of the important organization foreshadowed from the earlier on in the series and offscreen them... White Lotus ||

[barren temple]

ATLA || well I know we love the idea that every villain has to have some tragic backstory or whatever to make them relatable but sometimes it's literally just an evil dictator in reality. Ozai was a tyrant and a terrible father who made his children develop weird complexes and cling to him in toxic ways, even making them turn on each other. He was a picture of the reality of destructive leaders and manipulative parents, and sometimes that's all we need. I think he was written very well for the type of character he represented ||

|| also is the lion turtle thing just the fact that the lion turtle sent him to the battle? Because I've never understood that one, like wouldn't the lion turtle just know where he needed to be and send him there? ||

[sage remnant]

|| I mean I really don't have any problem with that. It's just he didn't feel much of a final villain || AtLA

[sage remnant]

|| the lion turtle thing came, Aang didn't have any answers before that. He somehow came up with a answer, and came up with a power for it. And he surprisingly was able to master Avatar State too || AtLA

[barren temple]

Hmm. Maybe I should rewatch

I've never felt like that came out of nowhere

[sage remnant]

|| The Indian monk said he won't be able to master Avatar state if he left. In the final battle, he was shown to use it with retaining his senses. After the lion turtle thing, he got the ability to take the bending ability, something that wasn't ever shown to be a possibility in the series before. || AtLA

[barren temple]

ATLA || see my interpretation of that encounter was always that the lion turtle GAVE HIM the ability to take bending away, not just gave him the idea ||

[sage remnant]

||Yeah still that came out of nowhere, right? He was confused on what he should do. thEn the lion turtle thing happened and when he returned he had an answer and the power too || AtLA

[barren temple]

|| ehhh not really to me. It was at the end of his journey in the spirit world. I expected him to come out of it with something new ||

[copper phoenix]

korra expands more into spiritual parts than atla

[sage remnant]

Ah.

[copper phoenix]

maybe atla needed a spirit book too

[sage remnant]

|| I mean it just felt bad/anticlimatic to me cuz it wasn't due to his journey with his friends or his experience as a avatar and the last airbender that he came to the answer but a random out of nowhere encounter with a creature that seems to be an after thought ||

Atla

[worldly wharf]

Anyone know why everyone is hyping up the sandman comic adaptation?

I keep hearing people excited for it

[sage remnant]

Because its good

The comic is great

[barren temple]

I can understand where you're coming from I think

[worldly wharf]

I'm planning to read it, I just hope it won't be like marvel and dc where it's like

Beginning to Middle to A fucking multiverse where it never ends

[sage remnant]

Nah

[worldly wharf]

like a fucking special variant where spider man is a fucking tarantula and superman is lex luthor

[sage remnant]

Tho idk much about it. William#8587 recently had finished reading it.

[copper phoenix]

thats like saying I hope all mangas aren't shonen

[worldly wharf]

Ngl this is why manga sales are higher than comics because they actually have a beginning middle and end

[worldly wharf]

not really

[sage remnant]

Well its not like there are no good and ending comics

Also didn't sandman end on a good note or smth?

[sage remnant]

|| The final agni kai, on the other hand, felt perfect in every sense. The character and what it symbolised and a clash of them, a past, Azula shown to actually lose herself before it to her finally getting insane, her mental warfare and the voice actress nailing it Azula taking hostage and Azula's desperate struggle at the end too. It was just too good of a battle || AtLA

[jolly heath]

anyone here seen The Departed

[sage remnant]

Idr anything except it having dicaprio and Irish Gangs

[jolly heath]

ye dicaprio was goat

has matt damon

mark whalberg too

and jack nicholson

i enjoyed the movie a lot, wasnt the biggest fan of the ending though

[sage remnant]

Mark whalberg as in the transformers one?

[jolly heath]

ye

[sage remnant]

Ah

The only actor I recognized when I watched it was Dicaprio so I only remember him

[feral blaze]

Seen both the departed and internal affairs

[feral blaze]

||It made sense as to why it happened though with their actions and deaths.|| The departed

[jolly heath]

the departed || of course it made sense, if it didnt id have said it was a garabage film, i just dont like shock factor stuff like that ||

[scenic frost]

Oathbringer 3 ||I am glad we get to explore more of Sadeas and Dalinar's relationship with the flashbacks||

Oathbringer 3 ||Pity Sadeas died. He was definitely an interesting character. I thought his end was a little anti-climatic, but it was fitting tbh||

[copper phoenix]

oathbringer 3 || yea I think it was fitting too and imo not all villains need an epic death ||

[scenic frost]

Oathbringer 4 ||I am so happy for Dalinar and Navani 😭😭||

Oathbringer 4 ||Also Dalinar be like "Oh so you stupid priests won't marry us? Fine fuck you, I will go get your god to marry us instead " lmfao||

[hoary hawk]

yea

[white smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBXqrBl6pEo

What the heck lol

[scenic frost]

Oathbringer 7 ||just finished kaladkn's perspective. Gods that punch to roshone felt so satisfactory||

Oathbringer 7 ||I really liked how after that kal was like hmm this dude definitely not worth it||

OB 7 ||the moments of kal leaving everyone awed were nice, and the fireworks between him and laral were... Idk. Interesting? Idk what to make of laral yet. I like how Lirin seems to have gotten a grudging respect for Kal at least, and it's gonna be interesting to see how kal reacts when his new baby brother gets put in danger||

Stupid fucking fantasy names, that took twice as long as necessary to type because autocorrect kept changing them to random words

[north sun]

||Ozai is a good villain because he’s a stand in for both the Fire Nation and the legacy of their family that started with Sozin (the real villain of TLA). It all started with him, and he passed down his evil ideology and poison to Azulon, then Ozai, then to Azula. Zuko having both good and evil in him because of the dual legacies he had inherited means he is the one who has to break the cycle and heal the damage done to the world and their family. Ozai is the culmination of Sozin’s legacy. And he’s not treated as some absolute evil either; a major theme is that they’re all just people. He was tainted and poisoned by his grandfather’s legacy and driven by his jealousy towards Iroh to become the man he is. One thing I loved about TLA was how the antagonists were just humans. The ultimate evil in this world is the ambition and greed of one family which bore a totalitarian empire.|| TLA

Also Mark Hamil

[brave orbit]

Oathbringer ||"You, little one, I'll protect. I'll protect everyone" 😭 ||

[scenic frost]

OB 8||Shallan perspective next, can't wait to see where she goes, tho I have to go off for something for an hour or so :(||

[sage remnant]

|| Ozai was a well written character. He took on the avatar head-on, and even when he was beaten, he never once begged for his life. even when he was stripped from his title and power, he still had the demeanor of a man who is used to being in charge; confident and unwavering from his ideals.
But its how the final fight turned out that was a disappointment. Idk how to put into words- it felt too easy and anticlimatic... I guess?? There was no energy flowing in me, like not the enthusiasm/(emotion, idk if that word fits) that I would generally get from a final battle and got that with the final agni kai too.
Not saying Ozai wasn't well written or the final fight was bad or anything. It just felt kinda meh to me || Atla

Sorry. forgot to turn mention off

[scenic frost]

Well I am back

And I realised I made a rookie mistake

I forgot to read the epigraphs

[brave orbit]

[sage remnant]

🤦

[scenic frost]

OB epigraphs till 7||Seems to me like Dalinar is gonna nearly die at some point soon? Considering how he's talking about nearly dying and stuff||

Anyways back to reading

[scenic frost]

OB early/Mistborn secret history middlish @copper phoenix ||Rall Elorim is called Iri as in the Iri? The elantrian order that wanted to forcefully bond Preservation and follows/has bonded Unity that Kelsier scammed for that orb?||

Fed don't click

OB 12 ||The fuck....
Taravangian is coming to urithiru?!?!?
Dang shit is getting spicy. Also, who is his radiant? Himself? Idk I am excited now||

[brave orbit]

OB 12 ||What a gem ||

[scenic frost]

OB 12 ||guess he's no longer gonna be the far off shadowy villain-ish guy anymore. Dude is gonna jump into the melee||

OB 12 ||also curious what is gonna happen when he meets Szeth again||

OB 13 ||Shallan and Adolin are just too cute together 😭😭😭||

[brave orbit]

[scenic frost]

OB 15, I would like to reiterate this

OB 16 ||he had never known anyone to get as excited by sewage as Navani Khollin ||

Stormlight upto OB 16 ||Man I can't wait until Shallan and Adolin find out each other's secrets, if they ever really do||

||I have become waaaaay more invested in Shallan and that relationship specifically than I expected||

Also fed I concede [stormlight generic] ||Shallan every bit as good as Kaladin and Dalinar, unlike my assessment after WoK||

[brave orbit]

😎

[brave orbit]

Btw @scenic frost Edgedancer ||The sleepless write the blurbs on the back of the books ||

[scenic frost]

Oooh interesting

Now I have nothing to interrupt me for 5-6 hours except the pizza delivery guy

Time to finish OB part 1

[sage remnant]

Have fun reading ^^^

[scenic frost]

OB 16 ||HOLY SHIT DALINAR REMEMBERED!!!!!||

OB 16 ||FUUUUUUCK I was dying to find it out||

OB 17 is gonna be fun

OB 17 ||is not about Dalinar ||

[copper phoenix]

mistborn secret history || iri != ire lmao ||

also telling fed not open is kinda funny

he probably spoiled the entirety of mistborn by now

[copper phoenix]

oathbringer 16 || dalinar flashback hype ||

huh shit I almost spoiled something from oathbringer thinking it was from wor

[scenic frost]

You dumbass

I clicked it

And I was confused as fuck

[copper phoenix]

my bad

[scenic frost]

And started going through the coppermind summary of WoR

Well at least it isn't a major unpredictable spoiler

[copper phoenix]

I just woke up

[scenic frost]

Like that is pretty much expected to happen

So not an issue

[scenic frost]

OB 20 ||Still haven't seen Dalinar reacting to recovering his memories ||

OB 20 ||tho one of the last couple of chaps did show Dal meeting Evi for the first time||

OB 21 ||Also (ik I have said this already too many times) Shallan and Adolin are just soooooo adorable||

[copper phoenix]

ob 20 || this happend to me all the time with kaladin's chapters in wok I had to stop myself from speedreading anything that wasn't a a kaladin chapter ||

[scenic frost]

OB 21 ||fkn love them||

[scenic frost]

Same me too 😂😂

[copper phoenix]

it got better later once I started to like everyone else a bit more

but it was tough earlier

[scenic frost]

I actually did skim the edgedancer prologue interlude in WoR cz I wanted to find out what happens next 😂😂

And it was soooo long

[copper phoenix]

yea I felt the same with interludes, but in the end they're quite good and useful

nothing is really wasted

even the ones that don't make sense now

[scenic frost]

I wanted to skip the WoR ||Eshonai interludes as well initially but they seemed too releavnt to the main parts lol||

[copper phoenix]

wor || glad you didn't because eshonai interludes are goated, he whole story is amazing plus all the stuff about the singer culture ||

[scenic frost]

WoK/WoR interludes ||still have to figure out where the merchant in training interlude ties in lol||

[copper phoenix]

soon

[scenic frost]

WoR ||Yeah, I really liked the Eshonai interludes and Eshonai herself as a character eventually||

[scenic frost]

OB ||Is it the "thalyen merchant caravan" that Navani mentions she sent to contact the Shin when Dalinar is talking to the different monarchs?||

[scenic frost]

Also spice this too

[copper phoenix]

I answered that up there

[scenic frost]

Oh lol didn't see 😂😂

And yeah it doesn't seem likely now that I think about it it

OB early artwork ||that was based totally on the map that showed the ten gates 😂😂||

[copper phoenix]

ob || I don't remember lmao but I think it's not. There are many merchant caravans from thaylenah the whole nation is a merchant oligarchy ||

[scenic frost]

Makes sense lol

That's the only possible reference to that group I have found in the main story lol

OB 21 ||A failed soldier is often one that has been failed. -Adolin ||

[copper phoenix]

oathbringer will get a lot more political and you'll get to know more about other nations soon

[scenic frost]

More politics, less action?

[copper phoenix]

there is a lot of action as usual

[scenic frost]

Fine then

[copper phoenix]

I mean just more politics than the previous books

[scenic frost]

OB ||Man I love where Kal's arc is going with the listener's group||

OB ||His inner conflict is gonna be an amazing read when it eventually comes down to having to choose, I can already feel it in my bones||

[copper phoenix]

ob || same, it feels like a slice of life amidst all the chaos in the world, I just feels nice ||

reminds me of how much I miss slice of life from one piece too

I prefer action but those moments are good too

[scenic frost]

OB ||Yeah, it's like its own little story going on unaffected by all the big boy games taking place in Urithiru ||

[copper phoenix]

it's the thing with those kind of stories

[scenic frost]

OB ||unaffected is the wrong word, but like it's a small but separate world within the larger world||

[copper phoenix]

things escalate more and more and there is little time for the simple things

[scenic frost]

OB 21 ||Also Shallan getting drunk on horneater white ||

OB 21 ||Man her and Adolin's interactions are such a treat||

[copper phoenix]

ob 21 || yea they're perfect to each other. I got kinda bummed shalladin didn't work out after the chasms but in the end it was for the better ||

[scenic frost]

Stormlight generic upto OB ||yeah I feel a little bad for kal, I get this strange premonition that Kal is gonna end up dying in book 5, and his arc is gonna end without him ever finding true companionship outside of Syl. Also syl, gods she's so precious||

Stormlight generic ||I have no evidence or whatever, but just a strong gut feel||

[copper phoenix]

stormlight ob || that would kill me, don't even say that ||

[scenic frost]

Stormlight OB ||not saying it wouldn't kill me too, but man really strong gut feel. I hope I am wrong, my gut feel record is about 50/50 so I am not claiming anything for sure 😂😂||

[copper phoenix]

[scenic frost]

OB 21 ||Fuck Mraize offered info about Helaran. Is shal about to find out it was Kal who killed him and not Amaram? Damn man, I am scared. I don't want things to go sour between the three ( inc. Adolin ig ) now that they are finally friends 😭😭||

[north sun]

||Shame. I liked all the climactic setpieces. You get Aang and Zuko fulfilling their respective destinies, Sokka becoming the warrior he always wanted to be and sinking an entire fleet of airships, Iroh taking Ba Sing Se for the Earth Kingdom. Everyone comes full circle. Even have some closure to Zuko’s relationship with Katara with her helping him. The Lion Turtle is a a deus ex machina, no getting around that. But he also already pretty much defeated Ozai before using the energybending, and Aang staying true to his Air Nomad principles to create an era of peace by sparing Ozai’s life is the war coming full circle. It started with the Fire Nation genociding the Air Nomads, and rather than the last airbender retaliating with violence, those principles are what allows the cycle to end and move forward. Especially poignant for Aang because of his survivor’s guilt for not being there to help his people or prevent the war in the first place.|| TLA

[scenic frost]

OB 24 ||Finally!!! Dalinar remembering Evi||

[sage remnant]

||the only thing that I meant by the part that felt anticlimatic was how Aang and Ozai's battle was carried out, not other parts. I had already said some message above of how I loved the final Agni kai. Also although Iroh taking Ba Sing Se was great, the whole white lotus thing being offscreened was kinda sad. Also, although what Aang came up with was based on his principles, the way he reached that conclusion was after the Lion Turtle thing. He had talked with the past avatars and wasn't able to reach the conclusion, and upon having contact with the lion turtle thing, he somehow gets the ability to take away bending and gets what he needs to do too. LIke the course of events were Aang talking to past avatars -> Being disappointed for his inability to find the answer -> meeting the lion turtle thing -> then having an answer. So wouldn't it be that he reached the answer due to his sudden encounter with the lion turtle thing rather than his journey itself|| AtLA

|| the lion turtle thing shouldn't have been there. if it was even mentioned a few episodes before about such existence and then the encounter, then I would have been able to digest that plotpoint. The way how it was done itself invalidates about Aang having reached the conclusion due to his journey as an avatar or his journey with Sokka, Toph and Katara or his past guilt of not being there to help his people ||

[north sun]

||It was both. He never would have been able to use energybending without corrupting himself or even coming to the conclusion in the first place if it weren’t for his journey. He very nearly did just that when he used it against Ozai.|| TLA

||The point was his spirit must be unbendable which only came from everything he had learned and been through before. Episode 1 Aang would never have been able to do it.|| TLA

[sage remnant]

oh was this mentioned properly in Atla about how that power worked?

I didn't watch LoK

the term itself wasn't mentioned in AtLA from what I remember, I may be wrong tho

wait wait

[north sun]

||Yeah when the Lion turtle tells him about it. Also White Lotus wasn’t offscreened iirc. I distinctly remember seeing them taking the city.|| TLA

[sage remnant]

||nah it just showed Iroh breathing fire from his nose in present of the meteorite and a small sequence then it was offscreened || TLA

lemme check it again

[north sun]

Also ||Lion Turtle... this doesn’t stop it from being a deus ex machina but we do get a couple of hints about its existence. Once at Wan Shi Tong’s library and then again at Piandao’s dojo.|| TLA

[sage remnant]

ah. i... didn't .. notice that

[north sun]

||Granted you would never have known it was a literal god who would tell Aang about this crazy fifth bending style but it’s something lol. It was something they actually had concept art and planned for from the beginning of the series.|| TLA

[sage remnant]

yeah checking wiki and there seems to be a whole comic or smth like that for it

material from wiki (as I am inconfident about my memory of that part due to being angry with that thing)

|| While searching for a way to defeat Ozai without killing him, Aang had a chance meeting with the last remaining lion turtle and, acknowledging the ancient wisdom of the creature, sought its advice on his predicament.[2] The lion turtle answered that "The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light." The lion turtle brought up a paw, his two claws touching Aang's chest and forehead, causing a green light to illuminate as he imparted the knowledge of the art of energybending to Aang.||

AtlA and possibly LOK spoilers
||"acknowledging the ancient wisdom", "getting the knowledge of art of energybending". ||

[brave orbit]

Wtf not true

[brave orbit]

Fake fan smh 😔

Speaking of mistborn

@copper phoenix finished part 1 today

Also the first chapter of part 2

[copper phoenix]

thoughts?

[brave orbit]

Mistborn book 1 chapter 9 ||Sazed has so little screentime but he is just so likeable lol. The relationships are so good, especially Kelsier and Vin, and anything having to do with Sazed ||

||Kelsier feeling so bad for her because he understands she has trust issues due to her upbringing is so wholesome and sad||

[copper phoenix]

final empire 9 || sazed is goated, probably my favorite character of all. The stuff with vin is really great too and one of my favorite things is the way she talks about her power in the beginning as using her "luck", honestly it was such a great way to introduce the magic imo ||

[scenic frost]

Final empire 9 ||Kelsier is GoAT of GoATs ||

[brave orbit]

Mistborn Final empire / Words of radiance ||If Kelsier and shallan had a smiling context, who would win ||

[scenic frost]

Mistborn/WoR ||The jury would wither and die before they could decide||

[brave orbit]

What chapter you at

[scenic frost]

In OB? 27

I am gonna finish part 1 today

Then I will resume on Wednesday/Thursday whenever I get time

Damn I am too close to end of part 1

Should probably finish prt 2 too 😂😂

Idk I have another 5-6 hours before I need to sleep, I think I will start 2 as well

I am glad I got Sunday off, this has actually refreshed me for the shitshow resuming tomorrow

[brave orbit]

OB 25 ||Chapter 25 is so amazing, I love it so much ||

||It summarises her character so much in a really tragic way, the way she thinks herself as a monster and pattern being confused 😔 ||

[scenic frost]

OB 25 ||Dude, taravangian is turning very interesting||

[scenic frost]

OB 25 (not really) ||you're thinking OB 26||

[brave orbit]

OB ||one of my favs, every scene he is in is just "leave them alone" ||

[brave orbit]

OB 25 ||nah chapter 25 is the girl who looked up ||

[scenic frost]

Lmao I was looking at 24 😂😂

[brave orbit]

lmfao

[scenic frost]

I pressed the wrong button lol

Well, touched, but whatever

Fuck I forgot the last 5 chap epigraphs again 🤦

Sando just flows too smoothly to remember them

OB 27 ||The wierd mashed up "Spren" that Shallan saw in the crevice is actually a sleepless one, isn't it?||

[brave orbit]

Gonna watch lord of the rings, hope i dont fall asleep

[outer tulip]

Midnight Mass on Netflix || it really took me 5 episodes to figure out this shit was about vampires 🤦‍♂️ ||

[outer tulip]

Midnight Mass on Netflix e5 || wait TIMEOUT! He really trapped his girl on a burning boat in the middle of the ocean with that crap 🤣🤣 ||

[crimson lance]

Sopranos episode 12 || Tony's mother is such a piece of shit, threatening to kill her children when she was younger, actually having her son killed now. All because he put her in a expensive nursing home ||

[scenic frost]

And finally, the end of Oathbringer part 1 @brave orbit @copper phoenix

OB part 1 ||What a banger of an end||

OB part 1 ||Man Sando's use of irony is brutal||

OB part 1 end ||Shallan: damn I finally have some control on my life. Between Shallan, Veil and Radiant, I can handle anything.
Jasnah: Hi||

OB ||Absolutely ruthless||

[outer tulip]

|| it’s a push to Rivendell but once you’re there everything after is great and has a lot of important stuff || lotr

[white smelt]

First movie is the best one.

[outer tulip]

Now I really don’t know what y’all talkin bout lol

[barren temple]

@outer tulip finished the first three eps of doom patrol S3

[dim hedge]

why is the japanese cast of Thomas and friends actually stacked as fuck

[barren temple]

Doom patrol S3 || I'm wondering why rita didn't get to see her parents like the rest of them in the afterlife. Like was she adopted or something??? Very interested. ||

|| and Jane being the representation of her mother was really powerful for me. Flawed but there's nobody else you'd want to protect you. Got a little teary-eyed there. ||

[cunning spruce]

I think I might watch Doom Patrol. It has Brendan Fraser and he is bae.

[outer tulip]

|| yeah that’s a good point. I’d say that it was cause she didn’t have good relations with them, but ha neither did Cliff .. can’t wait to see what’s gonna go down with Madam Rouge tho || doom patrol s3

[outer tulip]

|| Yeah I thought that was really nice… I feel her character is getting a lot of resolve especially now that Kai is helping out more || doom patrol s3

Btw I totally loved this scene in ep2 ❤️ || https://youtu.be/fUk2w8s5Ijo || doom patrol

[sinful vessel]

What If ep 4 ||Woah. I didn't expect the watcher to interact with him. That's dope ||

WOAH

What if ep 5 ||Wasp can do that?????? Thats dope as fuck||

[cunning spruce]

I couldn't get into What If

[barren temple]

@outer tulip doom patrol || bro this show does so much cool weird stuff man. I've never watched a show that was so weird but where the weirdness worked so well ||

|| started off as a great moment of friends dancing and ended up like a snuff film lmao ||

[outer tulip]

|| fact! That's literally why I love this show. Hella weird stuff just happens out of no where... like the ghost detectives in ep 3 were hella funny and gave it a dope plot || doom patrol

[crimson lance]

Man every song in the sopranos is perfect

fits the mood and sounds good

The opening gets me in the mood to watch sopranos too

[sinful vessel]

what if ep 7 is my favorite so far

what if ep 7 ||Captain Marvel content ||

||Also everyone looks super nice in this artsyle||

||"No one would know if you blew up a Dakota" ||

[sage sleet]

@outer tulip so im on the sopranos s6b ig? ep 4 and i still dont get why it's A B

is that gonna show later

[outer tulip]

In terms of plot distinction not really lol, but like you can kinda feel the finale approaching towards the end in the second part. I’m honestly not sure why they split it though, could’ve been something to do with HBO tbh

[sage sleet]

curious to see how it ends

tryna finish quick so i can watch the many saints of newark or whatever its called

[cunning spruce]

The Matrix ||the scene with the stomach bug thing in Neo is groossssss||

[glacial jetty]

Squid Game General spoilers ||Korean Show about a twisted game created to give poor individuals in debt a chance to win tons of money to restart their lives, risking death while playing ||

I did a poor job summarizing so if that doesn’t sound appealing blame me not the show

[glacial jetty]

Read it backwards

[dim hedge]

Sounds interesting

[white smelt]

[dim hedge]

I would watch this

[scenic frost]

That just sounds like russian roulette except the winners get their debts wiped off

[glacial jetty]

neh

[trim thunder]

there actually was an American game show called Russian Roulette - it's infinitely less messed up than it sounds

[outer tulip]

It kind of reminded me of Hunger Games when I watched it

[scenic frost]

Honestly, I'm probably more into ATLA than one piece which is weird to think about

[glacial jetty]

Wait what? I have mc afee

[hoary hawk]

wait so the dudes creation is still ongoing after his untimely death?

[hoary hawk]

[rich meadow]

I hope so, otherwise I'm fucked

Oh

Yea lol fate

[rich meadow]

[hoary hawk]

he was a very.. interesting person

[glacial jetty]

I just got it

Like recently

[lone bay]

He dipped long ago

[hoary hawk]

y'all should research him

[rich meadow]

very interesting indeed

[lone bay]

His yt vids

[hoary hawk]

but yea

contrary to ATLA

villains define so much of my experience of LOK

the villains are in itself the story breakers

[white smelt]

I've been watching ATLA for the first time all the way through (I watched an episode here and there when it was airing and never chronologically) and while it's good, I don't really get the praise that it's the definitive GOAT western cartoon

[lone bay]

Evan, atla ||what’s your favorite element ||

[rich meadow]

[hoary hawk]

most of us grew up with it

as kids

[lone bay]

[glacial jetty]

How far are you waze

[white smelt]

I'm about to finish it

[hoary hawk]

and for us, watching it daily repeatedly kind of drilled that

[white smelt]

I'm well into the final book

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||It was air during ATLA, but watching Korra made it water||

[glacial jetty]

😞

[lone bay]

Damn wanze

[white smelt]

Yeah, I can see that, Fate.

[rich meadow]

Yeah I watched it while it was airing

[hoary hawk]

like i remember coming from school

[burnt lake]

ATLA ||my favorite element is water for it's practicality||

[lone bay]

The only correct opinion

[hoary hawk]

and it would be on nick

lol

[white smelt]

Hey, I've enjoyed it. I don't think it's bad at all.

[hoary hawk]

also tbh

[white smelt]

There's just a lot of episodes about nothing.

[hoary hawk]

its hard becuz imo

[rich meadow]

ATLA/Korra ||Korra made water objectively the best element||

[white smelt]

And at times the animation is just a slide show

[hoary hawk]

there's not that many GOAT westernc artoon contenders

[white smelt]

I get the feeling I will probably like Korra better but that's to be decided.

[hoary hawk]

most of them would be recent nihilistic shows?

you might actually

korra is very enjoyable and def appeals to a sorta diff kinda audience

[lone bay]

Atla/korra || she did yea, but I still like air for the philosophy behind it and how it contrasts korra||

[scenic frost]

ATLA || I don't remember much I watched it long ago but I remember loving Earthbending because of Toph||

[lone bay]

Best girl

[hoary hawk]

earth arc > fire arc > water arc

[scenic frost]

ATLA ||Toph was my favourite in ATLA||

[lone bay]

Fuck you guys

[scenic frost]

Didn't watch Korra

[hoary hawk]

joking

toph was awesome

her jokes >>>

[rich meadow]

Korra ||I meant the show Korra. LoK showed off how incredibly strong water can be a lot more. And obviously ... blood bending is just op||

[scenic frost]

Yea fuck em

[burnt lake]

[scenic frost]

ATLA ||I vaguely remember being super hyped when Toph bent metal which was said to be unbendable lol||

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||what's wrong about that?||

[white smelt]

ATLA ending ||I think I have like 5 episodes left or so. Maybe a bit more. I think Ozai has had like maybe a full episode's worth of screen time the entire series. Don't think I really like him as a villain as he's been kinda absent through out. I'll see how I feel about him after I'm done.||

[hoary hawk]

YES

^^^

THIS IS THE REASON

ATLA SUCKS COMPARED TO KORRA

i preach this

i mean i still love ATLA more

but korra villains >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||In terms of elements I'd want (including their sub-elements) it'd go Water > Air > Earth > Fire. I'd legit only even want fire for lightning lmao||

[glacial jetty]

ATLA|| yeh Ozai was a little meh tbh||

[hoary hawk]

||ozai was literally the most typical omegalul i want power villain ever|| ATLA

||literally all 4 villains of LOK including even szn 2 were far better than ozai|| LOK/ATLA

[lone bay]

Mfers taking it differently.

[hoary hawk]

||azula was a far more complicated and better villain that was explored only to be thrown aside which honestly sucked|| ATLA

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||I get the Ozai hate, but personally think he serves his purpose well as this figure of pure destruction and evil lurking in the background literally since the start of the series. He's not deep or fleshed out at all but he did the job well. I think Azula is a much better fleshed out villain. But yeah, on a whole the Korra villains are better because they're actually proper villains who get individual spotlight||

[hoary hawk]

also side note, they're def gonna ruin ATLA with their live action

[rich meadow]

they should just can that project now

[hoary hawk]

stop copying my words, evan

[rich meadow]

the creators left, what's the point

[glacial jetty]

Atla ||water, air and earth are all goats. Fire is the only one that’s kinda meh||

[lone bay]

Bruh

[rich meadow]

nah I defended ||Ozai||

[white smelt]

Also I have a question about Azula. Lemme type something up real quick

[hoary hawk]

ok

[rich meadow]

Should make an ATLA channel. It'd be my most used channel

[hoary hawk]

ATLA server

[burnt lake]

atla thread

[hoary hawk]

wait

is it actually active

lmao

[rich meadow]

it is ye

[burnt lake]

perhaps

[hoary hawk]

not surprised

why did they release u after a week, evan

u tried to convince them ozai was a good villain?

if so, understandable

[rich meadow]

They didn't, I just left to focus on here

[hoary hawk]

i see

[glacial jetty]

Even

[hoary hawk]

even

[white smelt]

ATLA Azula ||So I feel like there's not much left to her character at this point as I'm almost done with the series and I'm wondering why people think she's such a well written character. I don't think she's bad but people flaunt her as peak character writing. Did I miss something? Correct me if I'm wrong but she's like really hung up on her mom not liking her, right? I vaguely recall that in her flashback she was mean to Zuko and her mom was just like "wtf is wrong with you?" and that kinda lead her on her villain path. Feels kinda shallow. Am I forgetting or did I miss something?||

[burnt lake]

excited to read the atla and korra comics

[white smelt]

Oh yeah I still need to read the comics after I finish it.

[burnt lake]

doing everything in chronological order

[hoary hawk]

Funny enough the comics do explore more into it

[burnt lake]

despite the kyoshi books I still haven't read

[hoary hawk]

im waiting to see what evan writes and will piggyback off of it, wanze

i just hate typing a lot

[white smelt]

[hoary hawk]

im sure he'll come up with a good answer

but i do have my answer kinda

[white smelt]

It's like universally agreed that she's a good character so I'm just curious if it was something I missed.

[hoary hawk]

but one key point i would make is iroh

he makes the difference

between how azula/zuko turned out

[copper phoenix]

archer and evan are about to destroy this whole mans career

[hoary hawk]

idk if archer is

[north sun]

||Azula is another victim of Sozin’s poison and generations of Fire Nation imperialism. Just like Zuko she always sought her father’s approval but unlike him she didn’t have Ursa’s favoritism. So she developed an inferiority complex in her own way. That and the way she associates love with fear and power and that being how she seeks to keep people close to her. So when fear fails and people end up leaving her anyway it drives her batshit.|| ATLA

[copper phoenix]

see

[hoary hawk]

oh nvm

he is

[white smelt]

[hoary hawk]

ok what archer said is right

[outer tulip]

|| Her resolve is actually in the very last episode || avatar

[hoary hawk]

i love how ATLA got every active person in this channel to come out

[copper phoenix]

I'm just checking if there is korra hate

[white smelt]

we love to see it

[north sun]

||Ozai is the same way btw. As a villain he’s the personification of Sozin’s curse and Fire Nation supremacy which is what makes him a solid villain. He was driven mad out of jealousy towards his brother Iroh who was Azulon’s favorite. The entire royal line is fucked up like that. Sins of the father and all.|| ATLA

[hoary hawk]

i defended korra earlier, spice

you're good

[copper phoenix]

thank you for your service

[scenic frost]

Evan still typing

[white smelt]

I'm excited to watch Korra cause the animation looks batshit crazy.

[scenic frost]

[white smelt]

Technically got spoiled with fight scenes but I have absolutely no context

[outer tulip]

Btw if anyone is curious what happened to || zukos mom || there content on that… idk what the primary source is but it’s really good and I watched it on YouTube

[hoary hawk]

||am i crazy to think sozin was more explored than ozai was though??|| ATLA

[hoary hawk]

the comics pick up right after on what happened

[burnt lake]

ATLA comics ||there's a comic called The Search||

[hoary hawk]

oh you werent asking, you were telling

yes you're right

it is good

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Well I wouldn't put much stock into people calling anything peak writing as that's just personal preference. And I should probably wait to write anything before you finish. But I think she is well written yeah. She is at its core, a victim of manipulation. She was born into royalty and gifted with prodigious talent, beauty, intellect, and charisma but by means of her father's insane brutality, greed, and expectations, she kind of took on a similar persona. And in my opinion out of fear. She basically has the closest thing to an inferiority complex and the finale shows it off on full display. The finale shows how deeply rooted her own fear is and that causes her to try and manipulate others through fear. She says "you can't treat me like Zuko" because she is desperately afraid of losing this. Zuko set himself free, while she is still shackled and this what drives her to insanity. You definitely have to watch the finale tho, there are some very important scenes regarding her character||

[scenic frost]

What is evan typing

Ahh damn

Timing

[hoary hawk]

wait evan and archer said the same thing

[white smelt]

why are you coping this man

[outer tulip]

Is that what it was called? @opal yacht @burnt lake

[rich meadow]

well I'm a slow typer

[hoary hawk]

also wanze said hes almost finished

but not fully finished

[burnt lake]

because i can't read, wanze

[burnt lake]

yes

[north sun]

||Sozin was more explored yeah... but he’s also the true villain of the series even though he’s dead by the start. It all goes back to him, the state of the world and the royal family.|| ATLA

[white smelt]

Yeah I'm like right before the final stretch

[hoary hawk]

its true, the last few eps do clear a lot of things

[burnt lake]

there's a whole comic anthology after the events of ATLA

[white smelt]

I'm watching it with my GF so I can't binge it. Been a few weeks since I've seen it.

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||And this is a very important point. Sozin is genuinely the true villain of the series ||

[white smelt]

Let me find the spot I'm on

[hoary hawk]

oh the GF has got you hung

makes sense

[burnt lake]

I believe "The Promise" comes first like right after book 3

[white smelt]

She's the one with the blu ray, though she's already seen it like 100 times.

[hoary hawk]

oh so shes evan

but you know, female

[north sun]

||Ozai is Sozin’s legacy|| ATLA

[hoary hawk]

zuko is the breaker of that legacy

[north sun]

The goat

[white smelt]

Oh you know what

[hoary hawk]

u should honestly finish it, wanze

not tell her

[white smelt]

Last episode I saw was ||Zuko and Aang doing the dragon dance and learning about Fire bending||

[hoary hawk]

shes watched it a 100 times

[rich meadow]

ATLA finale spoilers ||Zuko is breaker of chains. With both Sozin and Roku as his great grandfathers||

[hoary hawk]

you're so close!

[outer tulip]

|| ozai is what started the war indeed, but it’s sozin who is the real antagonist.. it was never zuko nor Azula || atla

[rich meadow]

One Piece would be 100x better if Zuko was in it

[hoary hawk]

roku >>>>>>>>>

[white smelt]

wait I got distracted, let me read what evan said

[burnt lake]

love the art

[north sun]

||It’s so surreal how goofy Zuko is after he joins the group lol|| ATLA

[hoary hawk]

man

aang literally looks 4 there

[rich meadow]

should tag that star as it has a pretty big spoiler on the cover

[hoary hawk]

and zuko like 18

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Zuko and Iroh make the show||

[burnt lake]

ah

shall I repost the cover, evan

[outer tulip]

Agreed

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Zuko has one of the best character arcs ever||

[hoary hawk]

basically u mean ||LOK instead of just his damn boomerang||

[rich meadow]

yeah go for it star, my bad

[north sun]

Yes

[outer tulip]

Period

[glacial jetty]

ATLA ||I know it’s kind of basic to say Zuko, but him, Toph, Iroh, Azula, Katara, Sokka are all awesome. Ty lee too 😘 🥰||

[hoary hawk]

so

everyone

thats all of them

[north sun]

Zuko is probably the best character

[rich meadow]

Atla/LoK ||Bolin tried to be what Sokka was ||

[north sun]

But Sokka is one of the most entertaining characters ever

[rich meadow]

Basic can also mean correct

[glacial jetty]

||also the dai li were geninuely kinda freaky to me when i was a kid growing up||

[outer tulip]

|| Sokka is what I wish Ussop would evolve into || atla/op

[hoary hawk]

theres so much nuance to their story

[barren temple]

ATLA ||Azula please step on me ty ||

[north sun]

||One of Sokka’s biggest insecurities in general is being a warrior and leader like his father. Especially when he’s just a normal guy in a group full of superpowers|| ATLA

[pale tapir]

||||

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Sokka just wants to prove he's a warrior. And he does. He has INSTINCT||

[hoary hawk]

||sokka's girlfriend also turned into the moon|| ATLA

so he has tenacity

[barren temple]

|| that's rough, buddy || ATLA

[burnt lake]

ATLA – The Lost Adventures & Team Avatar Tales [cover] ||this comic bundle was about the events during the series, while the comic anthology is about after ATLA||

[north sun]

||Some of Sokka’s strategic feats are just insane|| ATLA

[glacial jetty]

ATLA ||he just wants to be a brave warrior of the sea 😞 ||

[white smelt]

ATLA ||Isn't she like 14? ||

[burnt lake]

love this cover btw'

[hoary hawk]

this has never stopped funk before

im surprised you think it will now

[rich meadow]

Korra ||Will never forgive this show for not showing me adult Sokka kick ass with a sword. You can't drop shit like "Firelord Zuko, Tonraq, Tenzin and Sokka fought and defeated the Red Lotus and NOT SHOW IT||

[white smelt]

[pale tapir]

||I appreciate that Sokka was a very realistic portrayal of a non-bender. That's kind of a problem I had with asami in tlok. She was a non-bender, but you'd never realize it if you never thought about it.|| ATLA/Korra

[barren temple]

Oh wait

Wtf

[rich meadow]

Korra ||Asami kinda lameo. She's just some superhuman martial artist for like no reason at all||

[hoary hawk]

bro korra in ATLA was a kid and in LOK an old woman, funk

you can never get what u want

[pale tapir]

Exactly Evan

[outer tulip]

|| bro… he was able to not just break in but break out into the Fire nations max security.. his strategy is goated || atla

[barren temple]

Bro please

[hoary hawk]

||can i say the fire nation max security is actually an underrated episode|| ATLA

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Sokka is the boiling Rock is the best||

[hoary hawk]

that was by far my fav zuko adventure episode

[barren temple]

Don't tell me Korra isn't of age

[north sun]

||Prisoners! Am I right?||

[barren temple]

It's all I've got left

[hoary hawk]

theres so many memes

from that episode

[glacial jetty]

ATLA ||It actually had me shook when I found out azula was that young in the series. She was a such a scheming tyrant and she was only a child. Insanity||

[hoary hawk]

or two parts

they were all kids

lol

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Kids show for ya||

[hoary hawk]

thats one of the biggest things about the series

aang is 12 bro

wtf u expect him to do

[pale tapir]

||My favorite zuko adventure was his journey with katara. It had a lot of meaning behind it. Both a great one-off and character focused episode that added to the overall story|| ATLA Book 3

[barren temple]

Bet 12 is old enough to be a man in a lot of that world

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||But yeah, it definitely doesn't feel like Azula is only 14 but that's just due to her personality||

[outer tulip]

|| tbf she was a child prodigy || atla

[hoary hawk]

||14 under the tutelage of the crazy batshit that is ozai is like 30 for us|| atla

[rich meadow]

lmao

ATLA ||Wish we got a whole season of ally Zuko||

[hoary hawk]

thats just fan lore

at that point

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||Not because that would have made the series better, it's just it's so great to see him ||

[north sun]

||Hello, Zuko here! 👋 || ATLA

[hoary hawk]

are u just talking in famous atla quotes now, archer

[pale tapir]

||Book 2 was very good in exploring Zuko in general. I'd say that was Zuko's season|| ATLA

[north sun]

Yes

[hoary hawk]

||how hype was it to see zuko with a dragon in LOK though lol|| LOK

[outer tulip]

|| it really felt like zuko dragged his feet with finding his destiny || atla

[pale tapir]

||Season 1: Katara, season 2: Zuko, season 3: Aang|| characters/season correlation for atla

[hoary hawk]

and sokka was all 3 seasons

[north sun]

||I liked his failed redemption in Book 2. Made his successful one more satisfying.|| ATLA

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||All of them are Zuko's season. Season 2 is just the biggest shift. I fucking love Zuko in book 2. Meeting the girl and her mother, Zuko alone episode, his date in Ba Sing Se, being in the cave with Katara||

[rich meadow]

Absolutely

Great choice

[north sun]

||Zuko alone is so sad|| ATLA

[outer tulip]

|| I thought his failed attempt was perfect for book 2 || atla

[barren temple]

Yeah zukos character arc really spans the entire series

[pale tapir]

One of my favorite book 2 episodes for me was

[rich meadow]

ATLA ||The ending of Zuko along is hard to watch yeah. The kid saying "I hate you"||

[pale tapir]

[hoary hawk]

yall are making me wanna watch ATLA/LOK again

[pale tapir]

Ikyk

[rich meadow]

Keep talking about ATLA so I can justify making a thread

do it fate

[hoary hawk]

ive seen it

[rich meadow]

need to walk my dogs rq

[hoary hawk]

so many times

[outer tulip]

Oh I’ve rewatched it like 3x since it ended on Nickelodeon lmao

[pale tapir]

We talk about ATLA here like it's second one piece

So yeah. I would be in that channel all day

[hoary hawk]

well if it was as long

it would be

but at the end of the day, its like 50 eps

[barren temple]

It was my one piece before one piece

[hoary hawk]

and not that much comics

[pale tapir]

*60

[copper phoenix]

atla is a show that I always rewatch and I usually hate rewatching shit

[pale tapir]

Same funk. Same

[hoary hawk]

same spice

ive maybe rewatched 3 shows

[burnt lake]

this all spiraled from me talking about book 2 in also gen

[north sun]

I’m rewatching now

[pale tapir]

Dude I might rewatch it tonight

Y'all are making me miss gaang

[barren temple]

I need a rewatch now too

[outer tulip]

My favorite memory is watching the atla finale then going to to see Batman in theaters 20 minutes after lol

[hoary hawk]

gaang rise up

[north sun]

Team Boomeraang

[hoary hawk]

yea my worst memory is watching atla in theaters

and crying at how bad it was

[pale tapir]

Oof

[outer tulip]

Boomerang is goated

[hoary hawk]

and why they casted a south east asian cast as the fire nation

[pale tapir]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[hoary hawk]

and needed 6 earth benders to conjure one rock

[barren temple]

Lmao

Yeah bro oml

[pale tapir]

Don't forget "Uhng"

[copper phoenix]

oong

[barren temple]

That scene is so hilarious

[pale tapir]

[copper phoenix]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/831840367761424436.gif?v=1

[hoary hawk]

like u dont know how hype i was to learn

atla was gonna have a movie

and as a kid, u dont know whats good or bad

[pale tapir]

We all were.

[copper phoenix]

dw fate you gonna replace that memory with a worse one with the new live action

[hoary hawk]

but i could tell it was bad

[pale tapir]

And then.....

[hoary hawk]

and thats saying something

[barren temple]

BEHOLD THE POWER OF EARTHBENDING
guys help me with this pebble so I can throw it at his face

[hoary hawk]

bro just pick it up with ur hands

[pale tapir]

||Katara did some shitty water bending with a fish|| The forbidden film

[hoary hawk]

and throw it urself

its quicker

such an insult to bumi

[burnt lake]

forbidden film

[pale tapir]

https://c.tenor.com/VGHM_48ikmUAAAAM/dancing-avatar.gif

[hoary hawk]

man bumi was awesome

[barren temple]

Bro they'd butcher bumi so bad

[hoary hawk]

no lie this is better

[pale tapir]

[copper phoenix]

new live action is looking so bad the creators left the project

[pale tapir]

It's funny, I actually haven't ever sat through the movie myself

[copper phoenix]

it's gonna be the same shit all over again

[barren temple]

Damn

[pale tapir]

I've seen clips of it and stuff edited over

But I never watched it

Makes me happy

[hoary hawk]

its terrible

the thing is night shyamalan has good projects

[copper phoenix]

thankfully they anounced more animated avatar stuff so not everything is lost

[hoary hawk]

and he got memed for it

so idk what went wrong

[cunning spruce]

What Avatar movie? I never heard of it.

[pale tapir]

Producer meddling

[cunning spruce]

[barren temple]

"firebenders in my version can only bend fire that's already there, only the masters can actually create fire"
Why is m night still successful

[pale tapir]

Bro imagine if we'd gotten ||Zuko vs. Azula in the same quality. People would riot|| The forbidden movie/ATLA Book 3 finale

[hoary hawk]

how tf u go from the sixth sense

to that abomination

esp when u have good source material

and a good reference point

[cunning spruce]

Dunno

[pale tapir]

[copper phoenix]

shyamalan was making his fanmovie like artur made artur piece

[hoary hawk]

but lets be honest, a movie would never do it justice

[barren temple]

LMAO

[hoary hawk]

some of the best parts about the series

are eps like short stories

iroh drinking tea

[barren temple]

That's actually such a good comparison

[outer tulip]

they should honestly just remake the movie

so much potential

[hoary hawk]

the CGI wouldnt be hard

they have done harder

[pale tapir]

Like. There's no way

[hoary hawk]

its a matter of commitment though

[barren temple]

He actually watched it with his kids too that's the crazy part

[cunning spruce]

I really like Shyamalan, but some of movies are ehh

[pale tapir]

True, but I meant in the same quality, fate

[barren temple]

He said "I'm gonna make a movie out of this it's so good"

[outer tulip]

his movies are a hit or miss for me

[hoary hawk]

ik it sounds crazy

but in 2021

so much more is possible than 2010

[barren temple]

They're mostly miss

[pale tapir]

Nah it tru

[outer tulip]

unbreakable was good

[barren temple]

He sometimes comes up with cool ideas but that's like the only thing he can do

[cunning spruce]

Like Signs was really good.

[hoary hawk]

his good projects are really good

but his bad are really bad

high peaks and low lows i guess

[cunning spruce]

Yee

[pale tapir]

Okay. I'm gonna do half of my reading for my last class tomorrow now, and do half later. Gotta just focus for a bit longer

[barren temple]

Gl man

[cunning spruce]

Cya Strong

[outer tulip]

good luck strong

[hoary hawk]

is there a place to keep track of Avatar animation news

[outer tulip]

twitter

[hoary hawk]

oh that forbidden place

[outer tulip]

lol yup

idk anywhere else though

[copper phoenix]

they should just animate the comics

easy material

[hoary hawk]

like a slideshow

[copper phoenix]

[hoary hawk]

honestly

one year

they will decide to do the rest of the comics

because they know how much money it'll make

and it'll go crazy

like they have been doing with everything else

[outer tulip]

i support that idea

[rich meadow]

they should make proper comics

[hoary hawk]

why dont u do it?

[rich meadow]

I should shouldn't I

[hoary hawk]

yea

[outer tulip]

no the zukos mom story was actually really good

[hoary hawk]

yea but evans stories would also be actually really good

[outer tulip]

maybe he can take on a sokka's dad story or something

can't risk a zuko's mom retcon. that was really good lol

[hoary hawk]

u down for this? @rich meadow

[rich meadow]

hell yeah

[north sun]

Are the comics good

[hoary hawk]

yes

actually are

[lean slate]

Lord of the rings: Fellowship of the ring

[outer tulip]

|| bilbo like 200 years ago? || lotr

[rich meadow]

lotr ||No that's Tom Bombadil||

[sinful vessel]

Avengers Infinity War ||I love Wakandan music ||

[outer tulip]

Oh word I’ve only watched the movies lol

[regal root]

Yeah that character was only on the books

[white smelt]

Goated segment

[rich meadow]

He's the goat

[white smelt]

hopefully the amazon show keeps all these book characters

[outer tulip]

Hopefully not…. I’m not tryna read the book when I already saw the movies

Knowing them they probably would given the Amazon sales though… ugh

[regal root]

Apparently it’s gonna be a prequel

Like thousands of years before LOTR

[outer tulip]

yeah i heard its supposed to take place in the second age cause that was the period they'd be able to get the rights to (? or something like that)

[white smelt]

the fuck does this even mean

[white smelt]

oh I did not know this, kinda meh tbh

[outer tulip]

translation: hopefully they make the amazon content digestible for the people who've engaged in LOTR content through the movie. By not having the book be any kind of prerequisite

[white smelt]

Why would the book be a prerequisite if they adapted the book faithfully?

You'd be getting it in live action format... ?

[scenic frost]

The movies did not adapt the book faithfully

[outer tulip]

well yeah... it's a hope towards introducing the characters thoroughly so we get the same impact of their arcs rather than the expectation taht we know who they are already

[lean slate]

I need more lotr

[white smelt]

They are replying to my comment of I hope the TV show bring on characters that were left out. We know the book did not adapt it 1:1.
