I'm still mad that the Conan series was canceled in order to funnel more money into this. Give me big titty sword and sorcery with awkward attempts to paper over Robert E Howard's insane racism, you cowards

I'm pretty sure that well is poisoned by now.

rowling is gonna personally fund a remake of the first one starring a whole new slate of child stars. six weeks before release the new hermione actress will be outed by paparazzi as identifying as nonbinary on their anonymized tiktok account, which will lead jk to personally harass them into quitting acting and delaying the movie 8 months to digitally replace them with the child of some blood drinking tory psycho. it will be the only film of the reboot project to get made as Rowling becomes progressively more unhinged in making sure all cast and crew are ideologically pure

As far as i can tell all she did was like something made by white people more then something made by asians, which isnt really inherently racist imo

unless she doubled down on something really stupid all the original tweet said was that avatar the last airbender is super influential on modern oriental styled american fantasy to the point theyre starting to feel excessively derivative which isnt even necessarily saying that avatar the last airbender is good since bad media is also influential whether or not a work is derivative isnt necessarily a quality judgment

the main issue was she picked examples that were super common in fantasy, and especially eastern fantasy tropes, so boiling it down to 'avatar stuff' was kinda reductive, and she responded to people going 'this is kinda a dumb take' with a meltdown that lasted until...well a 2 hour video where she lumps in minorities telling her it may be best to just not feel the urge to fight with every minority who shares their view with her with 'gamergate style harassment' in a section called 'she deserved it' as if she's an assault victim for it.

Like, the vid loving sucks and she took a fairly boring Twitter 'this is dumb' thing and went all cancel culture about it because that's what she's done constantly before, there wasn't a lot of actual 'anger' at her more just annoyance that she keeps doing the same poo poo and acting like the victim each time.

using avatar as an example is certainly reductive in that its not like the white guys who made avatar invented the tropes but i dont think anyone can argue with a straight face that avatar didnt jump start that entire genre im not sure anyone had even tried to make a non racist oriental fantasy before that show

of that style, i was really disappointed in the shannara tv series on mtv or w/e. i liked the books in middle school but goddamn that show would have been lame even for twelve-year-old me

i didn't know they were making a WoT. anything they do will be better than the books. anything.

originally cultural appropriation was intended to describe phenomena wherein a culturally powerful person would steal something from an ethnic culture or subculture and make it their own without properly crediting it the most salient example would be how madonna became emblematic of ball culture which was very much an lgbt thing but since no one outside of those communities knew what ball culture was they thought madonna invented it

the modern woke definition of the term is by contrast utter nonsense because simply by describing the origins of a cultural movement you make appropriating the imagery impossible no one thinks that weebs invented anime their whole gimmick is literally spreading the gospel of anime this thing that comes from glorious nippon which everyone should love

if you're going to say that a show whose diversity and representation has been endlessly hyped by Disney is actually pretty derivative of a show made by white people it's entirely unsurprising why some people would think that's being racist

idk how any black man is watching that show and thinking "yeah i wanna work for the us government", but it is funny how the show openly acknowledges the flagsmashers are correct, it's just "they go about it the wrong way", and isaiah bradley is also absolutely justified and correct in what he says but they're just gonna slide past it to get to where the show needs to get.

It's insane that every episode is like heres why your antagonists are right, even down to the whole we have to use violence now because we're dying in refugee camps, but the liberals writers can't even pretend to create a pretense in which their wrong. Like no matter how much it's shown that everything is hosed and the downtrodden have no recourse it just says Utah bur if you fight back against us you're the bad guy is utterly mad and smites to just enough historical evil that people will ask bur how is it propaganda when it talks about how the government oppresses black people

The horror they have at killing Walker's sidekick makes no sense to me
