A Lot Of Peoples Defenses For The Live Action Start With "its An Adaptation It's Not Gonna Be The Exact

A lot of peoples defenses for the live action start with "its an adaptation it's not gonna be the exact same show" and like...duh??? Most people who are writing criticisms for the show aren't criticizing it because it's a bad adaptation alone, they point out flaws that come down to it just being a bad show. Adaptations are tricky to get right because they are essentially a professional fanfiction retelling, you have to work out what is the most important parts to carry across the main theme, sometimes that means you have to change the characters personalities or even arcs. We understand that. Many successful adaptations get that (think lord of the rings, or [i'm sorry to say this] harry potter. or even better yet good omens!). Why do those adaptations work then? because they adapt and write a fluid story BASED on that original work. It's there, USE IT.

The live action doesn't work for me because it fails to write its own story well. The exposition dumps, the clunky dialog between characters, the pacing. It feels like a rough draft and not a final product. Like there is SO much potential in this show and I really hope it gets a season 2 with a larger budget and a couple more episodes because I want them to do well. There's a couple of really cute small things that are so interesting like Zuko having those avatar dolls or Sokka and Suki first training together and her correcting his form. I want more of this and less of them just dumping future lore on me for no reason. It would really help them narratively if they just let some things remain a mystery to new audiences.

you know Jenga boom? the game made to entice kids back into Jenga by adding explosions? yeah well imagine if that was a game. but instead of the small thing its massive blocks that they have to push out and stuff and all take goes. however there's a twist: its a team game. “ohh but Jenga isnt-” shut up. This aint Jenga this is murder. anyway more explanation  they gotta use the blocks they remove to build a stair case out of the room ( idk imagine there's a door high up). If one player knocks it down, boom boom boom not more living. It the timer runs out? boom boom boom no more living. So they gotta go together to take turns to push out the blocks. its pretty easy to win the hard part would just be working together when Jenga is so ingrained as like a solo game

I’m realising how many ‘chat acts like a cat’ head cannons and fanfics and how few ladybug acting like a ladybug fics and whilst I know why it would be funny if she just randomly started crawling or mid fight she’s like startled and just secrets a sour fluid from let joints…. Ok yeah maybe it makes sense to not have many ladybug being ladybug fics

Chat-noir: when you think about it us holding the power over abstract ideas like creation or destruction or illusion is in some ways terrifying in how we’re gifted these things and told “hey save people and don't become bad” and yet there's nothing ‘bad’ to fight against other than our own thoughts and creations within humanity. If the miraculous didn't exist there’d be no hawkmoth to fight and yet I know I wouldn’t nor would any of us really give up our miraculous because we’ve become to attached with the power coursing through our veins as well with our kawamis and our team. kinda whack huh  everyone else at the team meeting: e-excuse me???  Ladybug: ignore him he gets like that some times. Hey chat you want a brioche  chat-noir: yes please m’lady

In other news I just spammed my friend this photo 50 times because he sides with his boyfriend over me in a minor debate
