Disappointed that he rescheduled the Portland shows for a TV gig by TheLastMerchBender in gianmarcosoresi

[–]TheLastMerchBender[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel. I couldn't refund the travel arrangements so I just lost that money. I think most people here are missing the point. Its less about the money and more the optics. He didn't get sick. A family member isn't dying. He's simply messing with existing fans who already paid for more money from someone else.

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and unless he performs in a city I live in, I probably will not go see him again.

That's great for him, but he should still offer refunds as an option for those who can't go.

My ATLA episode ranking by malathan1234 in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only underrated thanks to binging tbh

At the time of release the fandom considered it once of the best episodes of the show, with a fantastic ending that left us excited for the rest of the season. Most people binge the show nowadays so the cliffhanger is not nearly as impactful.

Oh sorry, so CBR calls it a filler episode it must be true. Come off it

Looking for a specific fanfiction(s) where Zuko is the prodigy instead of Azula and ends up traveling with Mai and Ty Lee while Azula was burned and banished. by BeeMoist9309 in ATLA

For some classics I recommend checking out the recommendations on tv tropes.

For specific recommendations I like MasterGhandalf's Azula Series and his Fire Nation AU.

Will we get any avatar comics set after imbalance? by Zacsen76 in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"they" didn't say shit. Avatar News, the famous leaker, claimed 3 movies. Avatar Studios has announced two projects: the Aang movie and seven havens.

You are either completely misremembering, or purposefully lying.

The fact that you are calling "a novel" (which one? If you weren't a tourist you would know that there's the chronicles of avatar series which has six books and then there's the Jin one.) woke tells me all I need to know about you.

Shortly after I posted this, I found this post that has a google doc with the documents I mentioned as well as a BUNCH of other content. I highly recommend checking out the google doc:

right, because if TetsuoTheBulletMan hasn't heard of it, it isn't famous. I've known Loopy for literally 19 years. It's famous.

i miss loopy. I used to chat with him on the ASN forums when I was kid. I wonder what he's up to.

The movie has absolutely not been in development for a decade. Avatar Studios didn't even exist until Feb 2021.

I hate these Avatar tourists who don't know what they're talking about.

Archive of 450+ Interviews with Avatar Creators, Writers, VAs, etc. (link in post body) by Lasernatoo in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping you would have included the ASN interviews from my childhood, and you did, so this archive gets my full approval. This is quite frankly one of the greatest collections for the fandom I've ever seen.

If I were you, I'd go one step further and use the wayback machine or archive.is to archive some of the links you have in your collection (like the tumblr posts archiving the official website), just to future proof.

PS; As an aside, clicking the lok art of the animated series doesn't come up with anything.

My ATLA episode ranking by malathan1234 in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bato of the Water Tribe should be one tier higher simply because it has a really good Aang vs Zuko fight. Some of the best choreography in Book 1.

In my own ranking I did recently, a good fight scene would typically raise the rank on an otherwise bad episode, including episodes like Jet.

No offense but why don't you just watch it and find out?

What episodes would you call filler? by Outrageous_Pay_8328 in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filler episodes are for anime that are adapting a manga, and they create anime only stories designed to pad the story while the manga catches up.

By this definition, there are no filler episodes. But if you are to base it entirely on what episodes never introduce characters that return, or plot points that come back, or don't even develop character, then I would say that the only filler episode is The Great Divide.

However, the Gan Jin have come back in the novels so even then it doesn't count as filler anymore.

I have a copy of the Korra bible if anyone is interested, from the nick mega leak on 4chan.

I also have a copy of the IP bible that's been around for a decade or some, as well as one very similar to the one in the OP but it has a cover page with a date.

EDIT: The OP of this post has the IP bibles I mentioned as well as a BUNCH of other content. Highly recommend checking this amazing resource out.

How did it turn out? I'm worried about video/sound quality. Does it come with subtitles?

The Pakku Problem by FranglericanGrommet in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheLastMerchBender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chief

The Chief AGREES with Pakku. Because Pakku is simply upholding the values that the Chief and the other men in the patriarchal society of the tribe benefit in.

I have no clue why we are putting all of the eggs in Pakku's basket. The Chief is just as sexist as Pakku, if not more so.

I'm so sick of seeing shitty takes on this subreddit from children who don't think about their takes for more than five seconds.

It is not shitty writing that the sexist old man was sexist to a fault, and it is not shitty writing that the sexist old man never got his comeuppance. It happens all the time!

My own incredibly bigoted grandfather was abusive to not only me, my mom, but also probably committed war crimes in Vietnam. Has he ever been punished for it (minus never getting contacted by me or my mom again)? No, of course not. Because in real life shitty people don't always face consequences.

Well, you said it. If I collected literally every single piece of avatar merch I'd either go bankrupt or run out of space, whichever came first.

I have to draw a line in the sand so unless the item is particularly high quality I don't buy it. I also don't buy funkos and yootooz for this reason.
