True, but live action One Piece turned out to be way better than anyone expected it to so I’ll at least give this one a fair shot

Wasn’t this the same live action adaptation that the creative leads of the original walked off of, though?

I'm actually rewatching the cartoon now, since I just got the BD boxset. And man. The transition may be a little too on-the-nose visually. Because having literally just watched most of those scene over the last couple days, seeing them in live action is breaking my brain.

They should really have just aged up everyone by like, 3-4 years if they're committed to this. A 14 year old military commander is something you can just roll with in a cartoon or anime, it looks ridiculous in a live action series that takes itself as seriously as this seems.

Keep in mind, the Fire Nation is also a fascist monarchy led by an insane person. So "listen to what this 14 year old girl tells you to do or Fire Lord Ozai will burn you to death" is a very strong explanatory reason.

But Azula isn't portrayed like, a King Joffrey Baratheon type who is obviously a puppet who can't actually lead or fight. She's intended to be a threatening villain who is taken seriously by the audience. Sure, fire powers are a good equalizer but it's just one of those things that becomes more unbelievable when taken out of the medium.

The thing is that Grey DeLisle's Azula voice doesn't actually sound anything like a real 14-year-old and if you cast an actual 14-year-old to play her in live action you will quickly discover why.

I’m also curious how this series is going to work around Netflix’s episode limits regarding seasons (especially since characters like Azula have already been cast), either it won’t be a complete 1:1 adaptation or they’re going to abridge some stuff

can't believe they're going through with this. i thought it was dead in the water after the original creators bailedmycot posted:They should really have just aged up everyone by like, 3-4 years if they're committed to this.

CGI looks quite competent

Yeah, but those same creators walked off the show for undisclosed creative reasons only to announce a major deal with Nickelodeon a few weeks later to continue the Avatar universe. I'm fairly sure they only left the live action show because the Nick offer came along.

I was watching Frasier last night and the ad that came on before it was for a TV movie Goodburger 2 starring Keenan and Kel coming later this month. I had literally not heard anything about this, was anybody aware of this?

Goodburger ruled though I'd bet money Goodburger 2 is better than Clerks 2, the most similar premise I can think of

If he sticks a few more seasons he will have been on over 50% of SNL seasons.

Kel Mitchell hasn't had as illustrious a career as Kenan Thompson, but he's done well for himself. Dozens of single-episode appearances on TV shows, a lot of reality TV in recent years.

Apparently they brought back All That a few years ago, and Kel was there just straight up doing Good Burger again which I suppose some people would look at as sad but he probably made more money doing that than I do in a month so good for him

Was the revival any good and how much of the original cast were they able to get back?

I wonder if All That holds up after all these years, I used to love that show. And I also wonder how the other former cast members of All That have been doing since they acted in that show.

I always have a soft spot for stupid punchlines like Kenan's chocolate chef from his stint on The Amanda Show, where the whole joke is that he makes items out of chocolate that have no logical reason to exist, and the punchline is always something like "Yeah, but how is a chocolate shower supposed to get you clean?" "I HAVE NO IDEA !"I just love his constant refrain that he both doesn't know or care how to make something useful, he's just making stuff out of chocolate for shits and giggles.
