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 →

I’ve been impatiently waiting for the official trailer just like everyone else. Not simply to see more but because I knew it should include the characters interacting. That is a very good test of whether this one has any chance of success or not. And this trailer almost takes my breath away on that count. It’s not just that they appear to have nailed the casting and the world. It’s that they’ve nailed the humor. Let’s be honest here, there is reason that so many people go into watching the original cartoon thinking it’s just a kids show but come away devoted fans for life.Read More →

Do I really have to explain why I’m posting about this? Wow, I have to say I’m impressed. The world looks right, the bending looks right (we’ll wait and see if they nail the martial arts too) and they appear to have picked the perfect cast. Now to see if they do the story justice. February 22, 2024, can’t come soon enough.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 →
