the rate of which ChatGPT is invading art spaces is scary and embarrassing. WHERE was the editor?
first and foremost though. you can’t do your own research or - a thought - hire someone who knows South East Asian facial hair???
I truly believe this guy is in, like, the bottom tier of intelligence among human beings. like that's an astronomical idiot talking. I don't even think I *know* anyone who is this stupid. he is living proof that making money does not make you smart or interesting.

Goddamn it man, you deserved so much better Mackie.
I feel like in a well written version of Legend of Korra, Vaatu would have been the ultimate antagonist in the finale and it would have ended with Korra learning to give up her Avatar powers to reunite him with Raava and achieve balance. Instead, he shows up out of nowhere in Season 2 and is forgotten about afterwards. Defeated like an evil to be destroyed rather than treated like half of a cosmic equation that needs solving.
It's the most 'ignorant westerner talking about Asian spirituality' way of writing a story about breaking balance and then 'fixing it' by leaving it broken still. Because we beat the bad guy, you see!
and the issue isn’t that animation is fully digital now. the issue is clearly a giant stylistic change in this franchise that hides all ethnic features in characters and makes them look generically similar to one another.
Imagine announcing you’re going fully digital and while the world still hates you for it, your platform goes down for hours… rendering all digital games useless 😭
Visually this does have some things going for it (notably its vibrant color scheme!) but the death of ATLAs original art style (which was mostly carried into korra as well) for a more generic voltron-esque burger shonen style really sucks to see tbh
