Yes, I have watched and loved the new Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender live action series. Seriously, I think they did a phenomenal job for an eight episode season. Life, however, has been so chaotic recently that I haven’t had time to decide how I’m going to comment on it. Or do much posting at all. I’m getting there, though, and mostly because of Notion. Can I just say that I’m starting to love that app. Software. Whatever you call it nowadays. In the meantime, here’s this collection of Iroh and Zuko scenes from the original cartoon. You know a series is something special whenRead More →

or some reasons I love Avatar: The Last Airbender When the original promo for Avatar the Last Airbender (ATLA) first came out I was intrigued. It seemed to have a fairly simple premise with a lot of possibility. So when the pilot episode for it aired on February 21, 2005, I was primed and waiting to watch it. By the time we finished that first episode of ATLA I knew something magical was happening. I just didn’t know how magical it was going to be ultimately until the series was finished. my first 9 reasons for the magic (spoiler free) #10 The bending AKA theRead More →

(originally posted March 9, 2020) I’ve been wanting to do some episode summaries for Scooby Doo but there’s just so many episodes to choose from. This cartoon series has gone through so many incarnations in the 50 years it’s been on TV continuously. It’s hurting my brain figuring out where to start. I like so many of them. Then I ran across this video on YouTube that is an excellent recap of the history of the series. And to be honest there were some things in it I didn’t know. It’s given me some ideas about how to proceed. So enjoy.Read More →

Yes, I will admit it, I absolutely adore both the Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series and the Kung Fu Panda movie trilogy. Possibly even more than Scooby Doo. I mean I devour most things Scooby Doo but I also know they have their faults. These two animated “series”, however, are almost perfection personified. Both have to do with martial arts. Each has a level of depth and character development for a children’s series that is incredible to behold. Depth not always found in so-called adult fare, either. The people who put these two series together didn’t just throw some fun at kids. They tellRead More →

spoilers ahead don’t read unless you’ve seen it or want to be spoiled! I think. Honestly, I’m not sure what spoiler level this very long post actually is so I’m going with the highest just to be safe. Why am I confused? Well, right after we watched the beginning episodes, I jotted down my initial thoughts and then kind of walked away from doing the post. Just let my thoughts sit there. Some people would call that ripening an idea. I call it flat-out dithering on whether to even post about this one or not. Like I said, I ended up very long winded butRead More →

Over the holiday weekend my son & I watched a couple of Batman animated movies we’d never seen. One of them, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, wasn’t bad. In fact, I really enjoyed the Victorian and slightly steampunk take. The solution to the “mystery” was, well, odd and kind of out of left field. But the story was nice and the setting spectacular, especially for Batman. However, the second one we watched is where the title of this post comes in. I mean, really, about half-way through I turned to my son and asked, “What am I watching?” That he didn’t have an answer was noRead More →

Yeah, I was going to post about something else this week but then I saw that there is going to be a new “He-Man” series on Netflix coming out on July 23. And kind of got distracted. Well, He-Man isn’t in the title but that doesn’t really surprise me in this day and age. I suspect it’s also more about Teela than He-Man for the same reason but, ya know, I can live with that… if they do it right. By that I mean get the characters right and tell a decent story. The new series is called Master of the Universe: Revelation and isRead More →

I recently re-watched these two animated features back to back. I realized I like them both. Which got me to thinking. a little background Both are inspired by the DC Comics crossover trilogy of story arcs from the 1990s: “The Death of Superman” is divided into a trilogy of story arcs; the first is known as “Doomsday!”, which leads to Superman’s death at the hands of Doomsday. The second story arc, “Funeral for a Friend”, which focuses on the immediate aftermath of Superman’s death, began with The Adventures of Superman #498 (January 1993). The final story arc, “Reign of the Supermen!”,  began with a prologue in The Adventures of Superman #500 andRead More →
