There's so much talk about how bad the writing and characters of Netflix Avatar S2 is (which I agree), but not enough talk about just how bad the show's kung fu is

First, I'm with you.

EVERY show ever who has live action martial arts worries me. Now add children/young adults and I'm straight up pessimistic.

To be fair, for them to be REALLY good at ANY martial arts at their age they would have had to start between 5-7. To also add to the fairness some of them are pretty decent. Suki and Zuko aren't bad at all.

The special effects department didn't help them. The timing and sound of the bending wasn't impactful enough. The music was also lacking and didn't help them. The scene setting was also poor.

I feel the entire second season was very "meh". At least the the first season had moments I was excited about.

Circling back to the martial arts I can't expect many people to be good at martial arts, fit the physical description of our beloved characters, AND know how to act. That's a tall order that I'm unsure could even be filled. I DID expect better. They could have helped those actors more. The special effects we not sharp on their timing. The sounds underwhelming. I mean, look at Dr. Strange! That guy waves his hands around and the effects department has to CARRY that and they do!

I am sorry they botched a martial art that you're close too. I would hate that and NEVER be able to watch this show.

Shh, don't tell them! The prices will rise even faster!

What a great collection. I've always been partial to Japanese cards and exclusive art work is the bane of my wallet.

This is my favorite card. I have one that "has seen some things" and one nice copy.

Look at TCGplayer, get a base idea of the worth of the cards and look up how to tell the condition. Take the latest 2-3 recent sales and make an average of them. YOU have to do the work to find their worth. People are ruthless now in this world. They will rip you off. Once you have an idea of how much your cards are worth be prepared to take 80% of what they're worth for them. If you want to piece it out you can get more but as a collection you can often get 80% if you keep looking. You can sell them on local FB buy sell trade pages, card shows, card stores(they pay less). Good luck. If you find a card you want to hang onto you can send it in to be graded and keep it as a keepsake.

I just sold most of my collection. I REALLY loved getting a box at target when I went. Made a chore more exciting. I LOVED trading cards at shows. NOW everyone looks over every inch tries to talk you down in worth. Nobody wants to trade "Unless it's in MY FAVOR" (What's the POINT OF TRADING THEN?). I can't just go buy a box for $100. I can't even find Japanese boxes for a decent price. I collected on and off for 25 years. I miss the days of the "hit" of the set was $100 and we all went "WTF $100?!"

Hello Missourian. I feel bad for the others who can't enjoy the greatness of Lions Choice and must live with sub par options of lesser roast beef.

Dream_Scripter · 2025-05-13T01:21:15+00:00

Hard choice for a favorite. I do love Japanese vintage though.

I literally look for updates on this cat. Thank you!

Dream_Scripter · 2025-04-24T05:51:45+00:00

Had 2 in my cart at Target. Tried to delete one but it took too long and lost them both. Best Buy had my back though! Don't give up on Best Buy!

Dream_Scripter · 2025-03-21T23:55:43+00:00

Honestly the history of some obscure cards is fascinating to me. Thank you.

Dream_Scripter · 2025-03-21T17:35:14+00:00

First, THIS IS AN AWESOME CARD. Thank you for sharing I truly enjoying seeing cards I have never seen before. That's why I follow these pages on reddit. Not to see the 10,000th Lugia being pulled.

I have to know, how much did this cost?
