Frames Made Of Cherry Blossoms Please

All of those “team cap comes back and just live off Tony’s wealth without care for him until finally someone shuts them up” has the exact same vibe as all the suitors just eating Odysseus out of home during his 20 years away from home. Especially since Odysseus comes home and kills them all. I've read a couple fics were Tony either kills or exiles them (somehow idk the logistics of that ever truly happening in the mcu)

I like the idea that Chishiya, Kuina , Usagi and Arisu all travelled together after the destruction of the beach and  they met in like the weird control room. and obviously their going to be on the move a lot, either trying to out run old beach members who are pissed because Chisiya was like a high raking member and Arisu was probably seen with the official people ( I forgot their names shhh). Also having to find new food/medical supplies and also just following games and shit. now most transports don't work (other than really old bikes and stuff as we know from that one lowkey dull running game but the odds of finding enough shit for that is hard) so their probably going to use bikes. but oh no there's a problem. Chishiya and Arisu cant ride a bike. they just never learnt because, and I mean really, look at the two of them. do they look like the kind of people that have the physical prowess to ride a bike? no. no they don't.  so now they have to sit on the back on Kuina and Usagi's bikes when ever they go, either sitting in one of those little toddler baby seat things OR standing on the like back wheel axle thing.  

....I ran out of more space

the northern water tribes wall looks pretty cool. I also like how they add like...specific names to the northern and southern water tribe areas we see. It adds a little realism.

the pakras the northern water tribe people wear arn't all the same and I think its a really cute detail. its a great addition that expands upon the animation. its sick.

Iroh casually and polietly insulting Zhao and then zhao insulting him back is some much needed political awkwardness I needed.

YUE MIXING THE DESERT FOR THE LITTLE GIRL WITH BENDING. ITS SUPER CUTE.

"that I was stuck up?" "yeah! :D UH I mean no" I hate this change BUT this is funny.

I kinda love how they show HOW out of touch the north is via their understanding of fire nation armour. I mean I know its done in the show I just love that they kept it in.

I like the healing dummy in the healer hut. I think its a very sick addition.

I like that Kuruk is a thing. I also like how Yue doesn't JUST beleive that Kuruk was an avatar who didn't do his job. Its sweet its like Katara and Aang. that cute little paralels comming through again.

honestly I have a love hate relationship with Aang seeing past avatars. on one hand Its great to get to see them more, and it foreshadows the final invasion and aang trying to seek help before choosing his own path. on the other hand, it sometimes removes his agency when they do these things for him. specifically with Kyoshi.

I like how Kuruk holds power, how he blows the snow away and his voice gets louder. I also love WHY he cannot do what Kyoshi did. I love that they play on old cannon to expand on their own. It's sick.

"silly avatar"

I like how in episode 8 Sokka seems to be taking on a leadership role in the fight, specifically by calling out commands to Katara and Aang. Its a prety nice addition.

"one way or another this is how my journey ends" the fact that Iroh just has to accept that Zuko is willing to die for this. thats fucked. its good.

I like that they use Kuruks knife. it adds a nice touch I guess.

I also like that zhao acts as though killing the ocean would be insane and not just killing the moon. its so funny.

MOMO DOES ONE THING THIS SEASON AND ITS SAVE A CHILD AND ALMOST DIE. best character ever made. I ma so glad he was used in this show.

the spirit oasis is insane I kinda love it and I kinda hate it cuss HOW IS THAT BEING HIDEN BY THE CASTLE. if they had decended a few more stairs I'd beleive it but oh god. I will say the abundance of flowers is really cute.

Zuko went under the ice as well.. him bursting through hte suface looks sick. I'm glad he's an idiot in this series as well.

I like the fish.

zhao actually like has a plan and for once in episode 8 he is scary.

THAT RED MOON FUCKS. its intresting how they move to it being completlty red compared to the animation being deprived of colour. Its an intresting twist stylistically. I also reallly like how the world starts fading to black the moment rhe fish is killed, its just a reallllly sick thing. I always loved how the seige of the north is animated so for them to do it gustice style wise its fun.

"master of three elelements, hasn't really got the same ring to it" is helarious. "touching, not that I care"

SEEING THE BOAT MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE WALL WAS INSANE. IT WAS MESSY, IT WAS DANGEROUS, IT WAS IMPOSIBLE.

I think the destruction shown to the buildings is actually shown much better in the LA then in the animation, for obvious reasons. Either way I like it.

Hahn staying behind for the others to retreat is an intresting change. I'm still not sure if I LOVE it but it is an intresting change.

the ocean spirit LOOKS dangerous and insane. that is SICK. Its like if Gozzila was clapped.

I like how all the water tribes people are bowing down towards it.

"he's a small man whos gonna meet a small end" we love you Iroh

Zuko and zhaos battle o the bridge looks good, I love that they kept the animations stylistic choice of fire lighting up the world despite the moon. it adds such a good contrast between them and the world and UGH yes.

Zukos desperation for zhao to be lying is so painful.

I've been so negative to the LA so heres a few things that I genuinely loved. Spoiles ahead. duh.

Sukis eye make up. the yellow blend into red? a nice subtle change to her character design that reallly adds to her

Zuko having those avatar dolls and their eyes lighting up. was cute

Zuko getting so hissy and destroying his room cuss his journal was missing. very relatable, very silly, the way Iroh is just kinda there realllly shows their dynamic well and also shows how Zuko IS just a stressed teenager

all the maps and drawings on the walls. they are very pretty and I'd love to have some of them irl

the entire scene of Suki and Sokka training together. Sokka slowly following her, Suki directing his moves and changing his forms. it felt like a dance and reallly highlighted how beutiful and deadly martial arts can be. it was also just filmed very sweetly with little noise beyond a sound track and grunts. Genuinely the best scene of episode 2 (and maybe the whole show).

Zuko unirioncally trying to fight Kyoshi??? it was so random but SO fitting. I aspire to be as stupid as this dumbass.

Sokka going "leader vs leader" to Zuko when asking him to fight was very cute and I HOPE they keep this style of interactions in like season 3 if they get that far.

JET USING THE HOOKS ON HIS SWORDS TO CONNECT THEM AND USE THEM AS ONE LARGE EXTENDED SWORD??? so intresting. SUCH a good use of props and how dynamic the fights in this show COULD be.

Longshot. Idk they are just so funny to me, I love how they are just casually posed on a tree as they shoot the first arrow.

the mechanist telling Sokka that he's tallented when it comes to engineering. it was very sweet, although I feel like it might bite the writers in the ass eventually. but for now it was very sweet.

I know in a past post I complained that Aang taught her bending to much, BUT Jet helping her open up about her mother and it helping her bending was an intresting take. I can see why people would hate it, but also why people would like it. Its intresting, its unique, and introduces an intresting paralel of Katara struggling to bend because of her emotions, and (hopefully) zuko facing that same issue later on in the series.

OMA AND SHU. best change of the entire series, truly the ultimate step up from the og, it works so well. I've seen this change in fanfiction and always loved it there, so happy it's now in a cannon media. Also the art work as they explain is very very beutiful.

Jets actor is honestly pretty fucking good. his "I thought you were on our side. On my side" speech in episode 4 was very sweetly done and it FELT complex with his emotions. espeically the choked up "i am nothing like the firebenders" MY GOD. Its a different take on Jet that shows a bit more of his sympathy then in the show and I think it realllly works. Props to the actor.

Zuko struggling to lie during episode 4 and make up excuses as he walks around the prision. Its so fucking funny to see him struggle and be all "well...my comanders gonna be pissed if I don't get to my duty in times" its so funny. I love Dallas I think he does a great job with Zuko and his characterisation will only get better if the show continues.

changing it to Sokka and Katara in the cave from Aang and Katara is honestly pretty cute? I know it takes away from the building romance with Katara and aang (although the show has cut so many of their interactions then this time it really WOULD feel forced) BUT it does work to expand and examine the theme of family that Avatar as a thing LOVES. Its espeically sweet arfter we've seen Katara and Sokka struggling deeply with each others wants and desires earlier in the show (espeically since this is stright arfter Jet). ( I am slightly pissed that its KATARA who is the skeptic in the tunnels. they could have the same argument with Katara being the one to believe. but oh well). Their argument was well worth it, it was long building, and truly felt like the two had buckled under the stress of leaving their tribe. Plus with the glowing crystals its like they are surrounded by stars which I think adds to the idea of missing home.

finishing the song secret tunel to then go "yeah there doomed!" with the biggest smile on his face. 10/10 comedy.

The arctitexture of the Omashu palace AND the crystals he bends are extrodinarily stunning. I mean the crytals look like smash beer bottles when broken, but when they are crystals???? suppper pretty.

ZUKOS PONY TAIL DOES THE PONY TAIL SWING BACK AND FORTH! Okay I know this is dumb, ut in the animation it didn''t happen as much or as extreme so it pleases me that real world physics are happening. Plus its just so silly.

The earth benders talking about how much was LOST during Irohs siege of ba sing se was pretty powerful. I've always been slightly irked that they wash over Irohs past and that he is JUST a good person, so it felt pretty cool that they took the time to kinda have him be....confronted by it? "I was a soilder" "you were a butcher!". It was a very quick examination of grief and ptsd, we got to see Irohs own sort of views about what happened, we got to see another persons desire for revenge because of the war, it was an odd scene for what we know of Iroh but it WAS intresting.

The funeral scene. "what a great honour for you and Lu ten to die in service of the fire nation" AND THEN ZUKO ACTING LIKE IT WAS WRONG TO SAY THAT. god. And then offering the medal that lu ten gave him to Iroh to properly comfort him? I was sobbing. It was a beutiful examination of Zukos conflict with what is expected of him, and what he WANTS to do. and then sitting by his side when no one else would? and Irohs tears only NOW comming once Zuko joined him? It was reallly and beutiful scene. I am so happy they added this.

genuinely when it was revealed that the tunnels where changing??? chills. I expected it. but it still shook me to my core. Maybe its cuss of the funeral scene before hand but either way props to them.

Okay so the animals sometimes looks goofy, BUT they also express WHAT they are so well. I love all the animals they look so fluffy and silly.

Iroh using the chains against hte earth soilders, once again some fun fight choreography and I am living for it.

Katara finding the badgermoles reacting to emotions with like...wonder and then Sokka going all "soo uhhh Mr badgermole" Was SO cute and in character.

Sometimes theres issues with the earth bending speed, but in the Bumi and Aang fight I found all the speed rather fitting. When he threw rocks, he THREW them. espeically the smaller rocks those shits are DEADLY. I mean that recreations of the animations scene where he bends over the rock looks goofy, like I get it but it didn't quite translate well BUT The rest of the fight looked pretty good. (and whilst I GET why it was important for Aang to face this challenge of this or that, it was upsetting for BUMI to be the one to do that. There are multiple other characters where it would make more sense, with Bumi being an old friend it just feels wrong. "you think like a child" "Is that really so bad?" was very sweet though.). I think Im a little over critical of what they've done to Bumi. it is a sweet story line and I can KINDA understand Bumis stance. realistically it wasn't that awful of a change its just jarring cuss its BUMI. Love his dress though I think it REALLY adds to this diversity of cultures and earth kingdom citys.

Seeing Zuko with that bandages arround his head and all his hair kinda really hurt. Also the use of leaves from the vine again. very sweet. "home. everything I need is on this boat" IT MADE ME SOB SO FAST. For all this shows changes, the changes they do with Zuko and Iroh work. The way Zuko saw the air bison and STILL chose getting his uncle to safty over even mentioning them? wonderful.

THE ICE DISKS! KATARA LITERALLY SAYING SHE GOT IT FROM THE EARTH BENDERS! its pretty cool. I like that they are already going deep with the benders taking elements from other bending styles is super fun!

Sokka and the little girl

drew the little guy

no thoughts just Kuina making those shitty little bird feeders I was forced to make in scouts where you’d get a pine cone, cover it in like syrup then cover it in bird seed and tie it to string and hang it up. they were shit but if you make enough you can make a cool sorta chime that gets lots of birds ( and squirrels) 

if you saw this....shh no you didnt. Anyway I mentioned something about Hatter having a horse and then at like 3am i apparently drew it shittily and forgot the reigns but uhhh I cant be asked to try access that cursed file so f 

Its perfect I know. 

Who needs dating when you can cuddle your friends and listen to fall out boy

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

what with the live action almost being out, people have been talking about how great its gonna be because we can now truly see the characters as their ages and...huh? I don't mean to be rude but one the actors are gonna age both on screen and off, eventually if they did all 3 seasons the kids won't look like their ages. Additionally half the actors arn't even the characters ages so I don't quite understand that argument. I'd also like to add that, at least for me, I never misunderstood what age the characters were in the animated show. I understood Aaang was a young child, that katara was somewhere in the middle, and Sokka was the eldest of the group before Zuko came. It might not be EXACT ages but I understood simply what age they could be. They also look like kids compared to all the adults in the series. So when people say that we finally see them as children I just don't understand that at all. Maybe I'm dumb and misunderstanding the comments.
