#anti live action remake

[i-hate-tony-stark-thats-all]

No! No more! None! Stop it!

[geekynichelle]

I'll put this here too.

I'm so tired of people telling those of us who are upset about the LA atla remake that we are "being too dramatic" or are just "finding things to be upset about". We are allowed to be upset that something that we love so dearly has been butchered, AGAIN. If you liked it, then that's your personal opinion, but don't sit here and tell those of us who didn't that we're the problem.

I personally think the CGI, costumes, and sets all look terrible. None of it is immersive. Sure, it LOOKS like atla, but it doesn't FEEL like atla. The heart of the og is gone, and people are allowed to be upset about this. They've altered characters to the point that they aren't the character anymore (looking at you Aang and Katara), which is a huge upset for me personally because Katara is one of my favorite characters ever. So watching her be turned into someone meek and docile is more than a slap to the face. Not to mention them removing her as the narrator as if Bryke themselves didn't state that Katara is the person the story is being told through. And before you start telling me that Aang is the same. No, he isn't. Major parts of his development through season 1 (him coming to terms with the fact that he's the avatar and embracing that role, and him also accepting the fact that he RAN AWAY and how he is never going to do that again, which is also pivotal to his character later on) are completely removed. And don't even get me started on what they did to Kataang. Regardless of whether you ship them or not, those 2 are deeply connected to one another from the start, and their relationship is a big part of the show, so to see that butchered is heartbreaking for me.

This isn't just about them "making some changes" or it not being a 1:1 adaptation. I'm fine with adaptations that aren't 1:1. What I'm upset about is that the changes they are making are VITAL changes to characters and dynamics between characters. They're rushing through the plot and condensing the story (and I will scream if I hear one more person say that it's because they couldn't fit it all in with their runtime. The runtime is an HOUR LONGER than the og, so yes, they did have the time). The changes they are making make it evident that they do not understand the og show, and if you don't feel like that, fine, once again, that's YOUR opinion, just as this is MY opinion. So stop telling us we have no right to be upset and that we just want to hate everything. That's not true. What is true is that we are expressing valid complaints about another bad adaptation of something dear to us.

Edit: If you also come at people who are upset bc they were expecting a faithful adaptation and didn't get it bc "its not supposed to be the cartoon," you're missing the whole point. An adaptation is ADAPTING SOMETHING from one medium to the other, not rewriting it. "Yall expected it to be just like the cartoon." No, I expected a FAITHFUL ADAPTATION and was met with poorly written fanfiction.

I need everyone who defends natla's writing to raise their standards because the current entertainment industry takes advantage of your "anti criticism" mindset and gives us mediocre shit like this😭

[theweeklydiscourse]

My prediction for the new Netflix Avatar the Last Airbender show is that it’ll ignite the most annoying discourse ever conceived, perhaps surpassing that of the 2020 ATLA renaissance.

Also, the potential for Bryke’s initial vision of the live action series will live on in people’s imagination as a shining ideal that the INFERIOR Netflix show could never ever top, not realizing that it was realistically never going to live up to the standards of their childhood nostalgia. Mark my words, this adaptation is going to be no different from the other unsatisfactory adaptations and it may even cause a worse reaction because of the high esteem the original animated show holds in everyone’s memory. So, people are going to cope by telling themselves that Bryke’s vision would’ve been far superior to the Netflix adaptation (even though there are a multitude of reasons why one would doubt that) and spend the runtime of it moaning about this and that.

All of those inflammatory articles about what the show is going to change proves my point tremendously. It’s enough to make you want to break the laws of reality and rescue Katara from the disparaging discourse that’s going to resurface now that ATLA is going to become relevant again. People are already in the process of idealizing Bryke’s original plan (which no one has ever heard, mind you) and it gives me such a headache.

How uncomfortable a romance between them would be to see... It's so visually disturbing.

In all honesty, whether they do Zutara or not, I think Kataang is going to be taken out of the equation anyway.

“we’re taking out this problematic aspect because showing characters doing things the audience might not like could be uncomfy” “we’re taking out unnecessary side plots & making everything more mission centric” “these characters were pretty flawed in the original incarnation of this work so we decided to make them more palatable & the story more straightforward”

[chaosandstardust]

What? The cartoon to live action cash grab created to capitalize on your nostalgia is LAZY and BAD? Who could've seen that coming??? No WAY!!

Bad reasons to not watch Snow White (2025): Because Gal Gadot is in it and you're an anti-Semite.

Good reasons to not watch Snow White (2025): All the rest of them.

[thereisnolumos]

So far, the fucking Rachel Zegler and her annoying and rude comments about original Snow White film, managed to:

1) Absolutely, 100% convince me to never watch the shitty film they’re making. I wasn’t excited before, hated the casting of the main character (she’s fucking called Snow WHITE for her fair skin), the shit they pulled with dwarves not being played by little people etc. But now I’m not giving this shit show even a slighted chance. It’s not Snow White

2) It ignited such fierce love fire for the original animated film, I cannot. Snow White has never been my favorite or even the film I watched a lot. Ever. (But it caused a paradox of my childhood where every time anyone had gifted me anything Disney Princess, it was with Snow White). But after the shit Rachel said about the original and its characters?? I’m gonna love it for the rest of my days to just fuck her up through karma

I’m constantly meh or disappointed with every Disney live action remake that came after Beauty and the Beast, but this “stunt” they pulled with Snow White is absolutely atrocious and I really hope that this film never sees the light of day bcs of the strikes and/or it ends Disney’s live action remakes obsession for good

And I’m wishing for the careers of Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot to be destroyed after that

[hatchetfield-scarecrow]

Moana isn’t even ten years old yet and it’s already getting a live action remake…

[bridoesotherjunk]

Disney announcing they're going to do a live action remake of Moana

---you can't even lie and say this is about nostalgia anymore-- the movie is SEVEN years old. Who is the nostalgia for? The movie's still fresh! this is just an obvious desperate cash grab after things like Lightyear, Strange World, and Pinocchio all fucking BOMBED.

Absolutely pathetic

[thoughtofadumbteenprotagonist]

since Disney is so obsessed with giving us live action remakes we don’t want, I think it’s time to give us a live action we do want, give us live action bee movie

[geekynichelle]

I'm not going to lie, but it kinda blows my mind that people need to be convinced to not watch a movie or to not spend money. Toilet paper is a necessity and it's annoyingly expensive these days, and you want to spend your hard earned cash on a disney live action remake?!?! If you want to combat racism there's a million things that you can do before you reach giving a soulless corporation the box office revenue. That's not even getting into the CGI dwarves and Gal Gadot's politics and inability to be a good actress.
