#live action zuko

[leafsfromthevine]

yeah no zuko defintely did this (x)

[umossu]

So in the live action iroh is no longer shorter than zuko.

I think their entire dynamic changes because of this. A little. Maybe. Not in a good or bad way, but in a uhh different flavour way?

Like how zuko is not as aggressive with his uncle like he used to be. There's a lot more respect. The eye contact is different. Maybe iroh looks more intimidating at first glance. It becomes more obvious that zuko's just a teenager.

And while I always prefer the animated version, the live action does add extra bits (while simultaneously cutting off and taking away from the original plot) this height thing suddenly gave me uhh thoughts? apart from the other plus points of the live action like the range of expressions on the actors' faces,,, so this one thing made me look at iroh way more seriously and uh yeah that's all I have to say don't mind me I'm just thinking

Guys holy shit I forgot to post this but my uncle does this online magazine thing, right? Well....HE INTERVIEWED THE FUCKING LIVE ACTION ACTOR FOR ZUKO DALLAS LIU.

That's not even all- apparently he knows of my old Zuko phase, so he LITERALLY TOLD DALLAS ABOUT ME AND MY FUCKING EXISTENCE.

MY CHILDHOOD CRUSH GETS AN ACTOR, I RETURN TO MY ATLA PHASE, AND AS I DO THAT ACTOR NOW KNOWS OF MY EXISTENCE.

...LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO BITCH-

[leafsfromthevine]

dallas liu saying his zuko would have a modern playlist ranging from everlong by foo fighters to amoeba by clario was absolutely insane actually

Something Something Avatar The Last Airbender was fundamentally about showing the horrible long-lasting effects of both war and violence in a grand sense (the way people suffer under fire nation occupation including the air nomad genocide and the state of the southern water tribe) but also a personal sense (zukos entire arch) and the show goes to great lengths to avoid glorifying war, often specifically choosing only depict the aftermath of terrible violence while not graphically depicting the violence itself.

And I think it's a profound misunderstanding, maybe even an insult to the source text to continually depict gratuitous death and violence as a focal point of the live action.
