I have never seen a good live-action remake, but Netflix ATLA might take the cake for being the worst one. Not just the most hideous thing you have ever seen, but also a show that fundamentally misunderstands the cartoon it is adapting.
This whole “live action is where we are taken seriously” mindset in the West needs to die. And it needs to die hard.
The fact that this scene alone cost probably the amount it would to produce half an episode of the original show only for it to have ripped the soul out of the original is an egregious waste of talent and resources.
With 2D animation, there are so many more interesting things you can pull off because you have absolute control over the scene due to it needing to be drawn. The movements can be more extravagant without needing to run actors through insane stunt training, the effects blend better together if it’s all drawn, you can use a much wider range of camera angles, and the scale of thing are much easier to pull off.
Anytime something live action comes out that follows a pretty fantastical premise, I immediately think that animation is the way to adapt it closest to the author’s intent.
It’s clear that Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones (the early seasons) are outliers in this whole thing, but we just don’t wanna touch animation “because it’s childish” or some other nonsense, which leaves it to a bunch of other opportunists who made absolute slop instead.
It’s just so sad to see.
