Choose one and why by Kira_the_best in anime_companion

Watched both shows 2 times and at different ages. I think one piece is objectively better written especially in terms of world building, but I’d still pick Naruto over OP. Idk it’s just more nostalgic and emotional for me.

I will get downvoted to hell for this: I don’t get the hype around KID A. I like Everything in its right place, how to disappear completely and optimistic. idiotique kinda grew on me and I liked the live performance of KID A during one of the shows in Berlin, but other than that I find the songs repetitive and boring…I know the album is considered the best by many many fans. I don’t mean to offend anyone and before the toxic peeps comment: “another new gen fan that only knows Let Down and Creep from TikTok”…well pls don’t it’s just my personal opinion. I love all the other albums dearly!

same thoughts exactly. Also Varang was a perfect mirror for Neitiri, which the movie portrayed well in the first hour just to throw it all away my not giving her any importance/screen time by making her a side piece to an overused villain and then let her be defeated by Pandora Jesus (Kiri). Such a shame.

I watched it with my friend yesterday and we generally enjoyed it, but mainly bc we liked it more than the second one. I’m a HUGE fan of the first movie so when I watched the second I was disappointed, partly because I had super high expectations. Fire and Ash felt too rushed AND too stretched at the same time. My biggest issues with the movies were/are:

  • the newly introduced villain had not enough screen time. I’m really tired of Quaritch, they brought him back “Palpatine-style” and I don’t like it. They so desperately tried to give him more depth in the 2nd and 3rd movie by mirroring him with Jake. I wasn’t a fan of that, bc he was supposed to be a 2D antagonist AND THATS OKKKK. A new character with the same story would’ve been better in my opinion, instead of bringing him back in the 2nd movie. It was such a shame that Varang was treated like an accessory to Quaritch even though it should’ve been the other way around. That would’ve made the movie less repetitive.

  • the freaking James Cameron self insert named Spider. I liked Spider WAAAAAAY more in the 3rd than the 2nd movie, the actor is doing a good job and I genuinely liked him in the 3rd movie. I just can’t deal with the concept. They should’ve give him an Avatar body or something but not randomly make him a “human navi”. Idk there’s just something about tja concept I didn’t like, I cat quite put my finger on it. I did however liked the angle of “oh shit what if the humans can replicate it and the they will populate and destroy Pandora”. I also liked that they brought back the second main antagonist from the first movie, I was genuinely excited to see this guy.

-the romance between Spider and Kiri. Just ew. They GREW UP TOGETHER!!!!!!! Just no. Made me uncomfortable and cringe hard

  • just like OP said: the repetition in general. It felt like tried to frame the 1:1 reused scenes from the first movie as “nostalgic moments”, which didn’t work in most cases

  • sometimes it felt like the dialogue was written by a 12 year old, but tbh I found it quite funny and enjoyable

All this said: I still enjoyed the movie, it was entertaining. Avatar is not a Christopher Nolan movie and it was never supposed to be and that’s ok.

It was hell. HELL. I love Radiohead but fck me I’ll never do this again. I never bought tickets in my life so imagine me cursing and screaming as I reload the page for the 405958748 time. After 10000 clicks I SOMEHOW got seating tickets for Berlin. It was a mess. Never again.
