On a similar note, was Pantheon Season 2 officially released anywhere in the world or is the only reason most of us were able to see it because someone leaked it online?

I thought Netflix’s MO used to be commissioning a number of episodes up front, sometimes covering the entire show. If memory serves, She-Ra was done that way, with the show having been complete for a couple of years as episodes were dropped in seasons.

Though I believe Seasons 2 and 3 were originally intended to be a single season (and it kind of shows) but Netflix split them up for some reason

Speaking of, are any of the Avatar novels besides Kyoshi any good?

Also Kyoshi taking over Aang and just wrecking poo poo up was one of the highlights of the live action series to me

On the same note, the Netflix series also included something from the comics (the Mother of Faces first appeared in The Search) as well as something from Korra (the Fog of Lost Souls)

Yangchen was really cool. She approached the whole airbender thing quite differently from Aang since she was absolutely pragmatic and cunning. Which makes sense considering the one time Aang talked to her. I enjoyed that story.

Where there other books besides the two Kioshi ones and that one?

There’s apparently a Roku book coming out at some point (as well as another Korra graphic novel)

All the Kuruk stuff is from the books as well.

How was the Kuruk book then?

Come to think of it, episode 2 might have incorporated some details from the Kyoshi books as well but I'm not 100% on that

But yeah, agreed that most of the novels would make decent shows or movies in their own right

All of Kuruk's stuff is in Kyoshi's book. The spirit stuff happened but to the outside world it kind of just looked like he hosed around and was the party Avatar. Its really good stuff.

Ah right, for some reason I thought they gave him a book too

Looking at the two I feel like the showrunners for LA Avatar understand the core idea beyond 'cool fights and funny dialogue' which are present in both the originals. Cowboy Bebop's did not. Its showrunners seemed to not understand there's a lot of commentary in Bebop.

As well as an appreciation for the lore as LA Avatar pulls from other sources such as Korra and the comics/novels. Meanwhile, Cowboy Bebop seemed largely soulless with its only real saving grace being its cast (sucks for Ed’s actor though, that was one of their first and only credits)

Not surprising but good news. Those shows are on a ticking clock before those kids start growing up.

Yeah, which is why I’m glad they announced both at once so the staff has a chance to adequately plan around things (the kid playing Aang is already hitting puberty going by a recent interview)

Zooming in a bit, the new Avatar kind of looks like an Earth Kingdom soldier as well.

Assuming this is legit I wonder what era this series will take place in (Korra had kind of a Roaring 20’s vibe going on, right down to the recaps being in the format of old timey radio broadcasts)

Larryb
Oct 5, 2010

Apparently the show is real (and I’m not even 100% sure about that) but the image is not (it’s a piece of fanart that’s been circulating around the internet for a little while). No official images of the new series have been uncovered yet nor do we know the gender of the new Avatar

I think if Korra had been greenlit for all four seasons at the beginning, the writing would probably be better.

God season 2 was stupid aside from Varrick

Yeah, it was originally supposed to be a one and done series but Nick ordered more seasons so they kind of had to make some stuff up as they went along (hence why Korra’s character seems to regress suddenly in Season 2)

Though ironically Nick is also responsible for killing the show (by the end of its run it was airing almost exclusively online)

It would've improved season 1 for sure.

I'm not convinced there's any saving season 2.

I sort of liked the Avatar Wan stuff as well as Varrick and the twins but that’s about it (ending on a giant elemental kaiju fight was funny if nothing else)

anyone see X-men 97? it's pretty good! it was also cool how they redid the original intro...though the animation's kind of inferior in quite a few spots. it sucks that professor X isn't in it, but overall i like what i see.

It's possible that they've retconned Xavier going to space to get healed by his alien girlfriend, but it's equally possible that he's just LEGALLY DEAD.

Also I love how silly this poo poo is and that they decided to continue with all this utterly ridiculous comic book poo poo.

Then again, Morph literally died at one point as well. Death is more often than not just a minor inconvenience in the Marvel universe (especially when it comes to X-Men)

But we’ll see how it goes

That was announced as being gone, Redwall got some updates.

It’s kind of a pity that Bone seems to be cursed never to have an adaption of some kind (every attempt so far has died before it could even get off the ground).

I think the closest we ever got was a PC adventure game back in the 90’s that had voice acting but only made it as far as the Great Cow Race

So how is Bluey while we’re on the subject, is it just a pure kids show or is there stuff older audiences can enjoy as well (and if the former, how’s the writing? There’s a few 90’s cartoons I’ve revisited that still hold up after all)?

You always have the Earth 3 counterpart, Alexander Luthor, who was always a good guy. Which is why calling him Alex in MAWS always felt like kind of a feint.

I mean, that is technically Lex’s full name in all continuities (variants of him have also worked with Ivo though unlike MAWS Lex was usually the one in charge) Season 2 is just making the connection explicit

In any case, MAWS impressed me the first time around so I’m looking forward to more (and that there are further seasons where this came from)

Now if only we could get a release date/trailer for Caped Crusader

I've actually never liked Butch Hartman's comedy writing all that much so I'm actually really curious what a FOP show looks like without him involved.

He does not as far as I can tell.

Thank god (though there were aspects of Danny Phantom that I kind of liked admittedly)
