It's about time, too!

I really need to get my friend to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, mainly because her only experience with the franchise is the M. Night Shyamalan film.

I call him "Mistake Night Shyamalan."

Honestly, now that I'm older and wiser, I have no idea what they were thinking when they hired a guy whose instincts told him to remove Sokka's humorous nature and condense 20 episodes into a 90-minute film.

You know, I like watching Cartoon Network for Tom and Jerry, Loony Toons, and now TDI. But damn, do the commercials/insert segments just make my brain hurt.

Finally got around to watching the seventh episode of Beware and it was awful.

It was such an action heavy episode that it really drew attention to how poor this shows animation is. Then again everything felt off this week, the scenes between Bruce and Ravencroft became uncomfortable in how unnaturally and awkwardly they both seemed to move.

On bulkier models, the style suits them just fine, but on much more streamlined designs like Batman's costume, all the women, the ninja etc they just look horribly gangly, like barely fleshed out stick drawings.

Also wow, twenty ninja and not one of them could land an arrow on their targets. It also involved a getaway, that used smoke bombs, just like the ones the ninja themselves used to capture Batman in the first place...

FINALLY!

If the trailers are any indication looks like you guys have done some great work. I'm looking forward to seeing Wan, Eska and Desna and Varric in action!

Oops. Here's the latest trailer we just put out. Enjoy!

I really don't get the whole "horrible animation" claims toward Beware the Bold, whether or not you like the series design is one thing but the movement looks fluid to me. It's like a tweaked Green Lantern.
