Does it at least follow the series story structure but condensed

I haven't watched it since literally everyone is shit. The only thing that is a bit decent are supposedly the effects. But even then, m, night. Shamalamadingdong totally ruined bending. Most firebenders need a source of fire or they can't bend. He changed how some of the names are pronounced. It takes 5 earthbenders literally dancing for five secionds to bend a little pebble that is flying by in slowmotion afterwards. And he cut out the Kyoshi Warriors and most of Sokka's sarcasm and humor.

And no, I am not kidding. People who have seen it will tell you more.

I don't think I want to taint the high I got from watching the series
 
I received my copy of the Promise part one today. It was an awesome read. Although it seems to be aimed at an older audience than the show was. I have no problem with that of course!

It's bizarre because he has the foreword in the artbook and he sounds completely genuine there.

I don't fucking understand how he fucked up the movie so badly. His kids must have beat him the fuck up after the premiere. "DADDY YOU RUINED AVATAR!"

you dont. i fell asleep twice watching that shit in theaters. gimping the firebenders and earthbenders, as well as making the earthbenders fucking stupid bothered me. i think the only character in the movie i remotely liked was zuko.
 
Allow me to sum it up for you, this is pretty much what it was all about:

Doing it wrong.
 
Bizarrely, I heard that Aasif Mandvii's Admiral Zhao was pretty much just The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvii on it, which brings up hilarious ideas for sketch comedy.
 
I know Suki and Mai will never make the best characters lists but they absolutely rank high on my personal sorting. Mai in particular was so well done.
 
What particular plot strands do you all think LoK will have? Certainly a romance and struggle with her own importance plot are a given.
 
I imagine the Equalists will be the 'over arching' plot. Obvious side stories with the Pro Bending and Air training. I'm sure there are plenty of important characters yet to be introduced too.
 
There should be a season long training arc, at least. And that Pro-bending tournament.

I imagine the Equalists will be the 'over arching' plot. Obvious side stories with the Pro Bending and Air training. I'm sure there are plenty of important characters yet to be introduced too.

These, plus Korra experiencing something of a real threat so far. She lived a sheltered life up to this point and obviously never faced any real danger or oponent. That's why she is overly confident. I imagine when she actually meets and fight someone like Amon, who is on par with her, that it will be quite a shock for her.

"I'm Amon and you have to deal with it!"

*break dances*

(Yes, I'm still hoping...)

Of course, there is probably a major figure to this Equalist movement (besides just Amon, of course). I hope they are an interesting character and not "My parents were killed by benders."
 
I give Katara a lot of credit, the season finale when she decided to become the Iceman was brilliant. Aang Ozai battle was the most flashy but she had the best move out of anyone.

Katara was the one who trained Korra in waterbending right? So she got to train two Avatars.

Loved that scene. It was brilliant. Really showed off Katara's skill.
 
Pft.

Azula is the best out of Azula's group.

She gave me the weirdest boner.

Er...

She was the best character.

Azula was great. Wanted her to lose every time but somehow she's still my favorite character. Only decent villain in the show.
 
There are two movies based on media that I promised I would never watch for fear it would ruin my already amazing perception of them, and that's "The Golden Compass" and the Shaymalan Avatar movie. I think the new TMNT movie i mean "Ninja Turtles" since they're taking our teenage and mutant and making them aliens, will also be on that list.
 
For the people who saw it, are there any more memorable clips from the movie?
There was a scene of Master Pakku playing soccer with water. That bothered me. I also never managed to watch the entire movie. It's so bad. I just skip some parts to see the terribleness.
