Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles never had a bad cartoon series. The 86 show, the 03 show, the '12 dhow, and the '18 show were all good.

Amphibia is kind of going the Steven Universe route whereas Owl House is more Gravity Falls. Amphibia has those 11 minute episodes with plenty of "townie" episodes with a first season that doesn't openly acknowledge the main plot till the finale. Amphibia shorter episodes let it cover ground faster and helps it deliver humour. You can tell more stories per season in the format. If an episode is filler, you always have the next one to advance the plot. Shorter episodes also require faster and punchier writing, which lends itself better to writting jokes. Less air time also helps jokes land as they clump closer together and keep you warmed up. And, if they want to tell a bigger story, they just make it a two parter.

The Owl House does 23 minute episodes with a lot more plot advancement and status quo change in season one and the mysterys are constantly hinted at. This works better for intrigue. The constant allusions to greater depth will intice watchers. The longer episodes with a weekly format makes filler both a relief from the plot and intice people for the next plot episode.

Also, I am fine with the Owl House going all magic school. They were hinting at it from episode 1 with Luz wanting to be a Witch. That was her main character drive and that leading to a Hogwarts parody school seems inevitable. It wasn’t something I knew for a fact but it coming up didn't suprise me. The Owl House is for kids who grew up in the 00s reading Harry Potter and wanting more (and more gay ) stories like that.

Apparently the only major difference from the previous shorts is that they're Disney+ exclusive (also I heard somewhere that the shorts are gonna be 7 minutes instead of 3.5 but I haven't seen something official say that yet so that might just be some rumor)

Goofy in those shorts is the most scraggy looking gently caress. The shorts are pretty fun so more is good. I hope they're less disappointing than the recent Loony Tunes shorts.

I'm onto the two parter in Korra with the First Avatar and it seems to completely retcon where bending comes from. The Last Airbender says that it came when the first human benders observed the movements of the animals who'd evolved to use them (Namely the seaserpents, dragons, badgermoles and flying bisons) and figured out how to manipulate them that way, while Korra shows the first Avatar getting it given to him by a Lion Turtle.

OK got a bit further in, he at least learned to better control the fire via a dragon, I guess the Lion Turtle just allowed his bloodline to bend fire generally, and his descendants learned from the dragons later how to refine it.

Thank you!

The Lion Turtles gave the power, but the bending arts were learned by observing animals. Unless you think those people hurling fireballs like rocks were anything close to using a martial art.

Yeah, Disney has kind of pissed off their entire creative staff with this move. Other showruners are publicly commenting on the issue now too. Either they go after the showruners, which would be terrible since it would hurt a bunch of great shows, or the head of scheduling is in trouble at Disney channel.

You don't think the suits wouldn't throw their (now actively revolting) creative staff under the bus to save one of their own?

They can, but they'll have to go out and get new talent, start over, etc. It will be costly and suits are all about cost efficient. The fact the iTunes release of True Colors is currently the top selling episode of a TV Show on iTunes right now is something to mention. Plus, as Infinity Train guy points out, Matt could always go somewhere else, take his ball and leave, start over, and his fans will come with him. If they try to give Amphibia to someone new, or Owl House, there is no guarantee fans will stick with it. The suits will certainly think it will, though, so I can imagine them still screwing over the creative staff and then diverting blame when the numbers aren't there.

Yeah, that's what I mean: the suits might, but it's such a mess that I do think the scheduling guy is in more trouble than anything else. Starting over is expensive and changing production leads when the show is going good is generally avoided at all costs. Pulling an episode right before it airs is very unusual and, if its for content, then said content was already approved multiple times before it hit the scheduling block. Animation -- show production in general -- is a long process and this episode and its script was likely approved multiple times before they scheduled it. Maybe someone up the chain never bothered to watch the finished product and went off the script? Assumed it was going to look different? Still, a big mess-up for whoever pulled it.

I usually watch this on Disney Now, anyway, so I personally didn't feel morally bad watching it on iTunes. At least I'm paying them money now, instead of getting by with a free service offered by my cable company. Glad I did too because, right after, I saw a spoiler on twitter.

Didn’t they only start building up the Korra/Asami relationship around Season 3 or so?

Off the subject, are any of the Avatar/Korra comics worth reading? Same question regarding the Kyoshi novel for that matter.


LoK comics are...well, they're worse than the mainline Avatar comics. I read every Avatar comic and some are fun, but LoK has had a bad run.

Turf Wars is kind of bland. It's only worth it to see Korra and Asami kiss.

Ruins Of The Empire is actual nazi apologia. Like, if you see Kuvira as hitler, then her redemption arc is going to make you puke. Did you know she didn't know about the ethnic cleasning camps that the show hinted at and the comics called "inhumane prison camps," and that it was all the work of her underlings without her knowledge? You know, an actual lie about Nazis that apologists use?

The Kyoshi novels, on the other hand, are wonderful. Both of them are actually great. Tons of gay energy, for those curious. Good worldbuilding, fun characters, interesting conflict, and a great character study on Kyoshi that fans need to read to see the real her. That said, I find it funny how every Earthbending avatar in fanfics are victims of identity theft and then the Kyoshi novel actually does that! Someone did some research on Ao3.

Speaking as someone who wrote Tyzula fanfiction before, the trick is usually to set it in an alternate universe so you can downplay the obvious toxic poo poo under the excuse it's not the canon timeline. Because their personalities can be cute together, if you downplay/remove how Azula is mentally abused by her father and raised to be an abuser of others.
