Oomfie was live reacting and informed me that they kept Iroh getting mugged like in Tales of Ba Sing Se only for him to turn it into a PTSD monologue about death and the terrible things he’s done like when he got captured in S1 and this is what I had to say on that
The S2 finale having Katara monologue to Zuko about the evils his family and the Fire Nation committed written in NATLA’s signature dogshit YA drama writing only to plop in her and Zuko’s lines verbatim from Crossroads of Destiny, then going back to NATLA writing gave me whiplash

Some talking suit: “Yeah. Make that shit live action”
A live-action ‘PERSONA’ series is in the works at Netflix.
Christopher Monfette (‘Star Trek: Picard’) will serve as showrunner.

Monsters University had such an oddly mature message to teach kids
How there are times where your dreams WILL NOT come true, but that doesn't mean your skillset and interests can't be put into other fields
The main reason why both live actions failed miserably is simply because their creators didn't respect the OG creators nor the story nor world building.
Steam Sales are so beloved and looked forward to that we make memes about telling ourselves to NOT buy a bunch of games we know we won't play. Y'know, because we can actually afford them?
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.
