The Western Animation Discussion Thread

The Verrick payoff was very well done. Mako is really growing as a character but God the fans of the show are so ****ing whiny. In the first series when Asami was so perfect they complained but now that she shows weakness because of all the **** that's piling on her (her father in jail, her father's company on the verge of collapse) everyone starts to get all feminist. Bolin starts acting like a jerk which is a great way of expanding character is being dismissed as "bad writing".

What the hell? Can't anyone watch a 20 minute animated show without reading so much into it? Does it have to be compared to the likes of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or whatever the hell the more "discerning fans" think is the gold standard for entertainment? Its bad enough the forums are filled with bratty ATLA fans which are the equivalent of Geewuners in any franchise but this ridiculous White Knighting and psychoanalyzing of a show which is meant to introduce or younger generations to a slightly more deeper style of story-telling is just getting too much. If everything is "cliche" or if watching a show primarily to ****ing CALL IT is their idea of entertainment, why bother watching....ANYTHING?!

Gah. Rant over.

Caught Dark Knight Returns Part 1 on TV. It was pretty good from what I watched but I'm going to have to wait till I see part 2 to judge the movie as a whole. The final fight with Batman and the Mutant Leader was some pretty intense Sh*****t. Even if it were scene per scene exactly like that that one TAS episode where the kids told stories about Batman.

I am the biggest Aqua Teen fan you're likely to meet. But.. Aqua TV Show Show.. It's like they're being weird just for the sake of being weird.

The new episode/episodes of The Legend of Korra was/were awesome. I love that we finally received an explanation for the Avatar and how it came to be and continues to be.

Your missing out on a lot. This was perhaps the best two episodes of the entire Avatar franchise as yet. It had mythology, humor, tragedy...excellent animation and voicework...Potato I don't know if you still come by but good job Sir. Good job.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is still better than The Legend of Korra, but they're both two separate shows. Given time, I think The Legend of Korra can grow to surpass its predecessor. The new episode(s) show that.

The last two eps of Korra were a very enjoyable surprise.
