'Avatar: The Last Airbender': 7 Best Additions To The Live-Action Version
Condensing the twenty-episode first season of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender into eight hours of live action TV was always going to be a difficult task. So far, fan reaction to Netflix's live action adaptation has been mixed, with fans claiming that the combining of multiple episodes' storylines from the original into a single episode of the remake makes the episode feel rushed and cluttered in some points. Meanwhile, other storylines have been heavily altered or cut completely.

Can We Please Have Doctor Doom Be Played By A Romani Actor? . Content Warning.
Considering recent casting news surrounding the upcoming reboot of Disney's Fantastic Four film, which will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there have been widespread rumors regarding the potential introduction of the iconic villain Doctor Doom. These rumors have sparked a wave of fan casting suggestions, with actors such as Giancarlo Esposito, Cillian Murphy, and Henry Cavill being frequently mentioned. However, a notable aspect of these suggestions is the conspicuous absence of actors of Romani descent.

Echo
The first episode of Echo was strong and though the internet had conflicting things to say about the overall show the first episode set forth an amazing thesis for the series. I can not wait to see where the rest of the series goes and I hope that it continues with the pace and tone that it started with. So let's dive into the next two episodes of the series.

Why Xander Harris Sucks
By now we all know that Xander Harris from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a Joss Whedon self insert. That certainly explains why, as a person, he sucks just so much. Xander is a whiny, entitled, disgusting excuse for a human person (and so is Joss so hey! The self insert worked!) but I could never make such a bold, distinct statement without receipts so here we go. All of the 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xander Harris proved himself to be absolutely terrible.

SuperWhoLock. Top Story - March 2024.
I started this series to kind of get to the bottom of what the connection between these shows was. What exactly inspired such a fervent fandom and why these three shows? Well I recently went to my very first Doctor Who convention at Gallifrey One and a pride panel kind of gave me my answer. I think the answer to what connects these shows and what connects the fandom is the queerness of all three shows.

Fringe
Okay so we know that I love media analysis but sometimes it starts feeling more like my job then something I genuinely enjoy doing. Occasionally it feels like I have nothing to watch to relax and that everything is content. BUT I do love talking about the shows that I love so we are going to talk about them in the most rapid-fire, bullet-pointed kind of way so that I don’t turn the things that I love into homework for myself. Today we will be talking about the broad strokes of why I love Fringe. Fringe is an incredible science fiction show that my husband made me sit down and watch despite my hatred of gross things. So here we go.

Teen Dramas
Teen Dramas are a right of passage for every middle to high school aged kid. That age is pumped full of hormones and confusion and the teen drama tv genre is a perfect reflection of that. The first relevant TV show that could be considered the real start of the teen drama genre is the original 90210 that started in 1990 and ended in 2000.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
We just wrapped up the best of Buffy the Vampire Slayer series where I went season by season depicting the good and the bad of each particular season. What I may have glazed over is the actual impact that Buffy the Vampire Slayer had on society and on television in general so I am doing a whole video essay on my favorite show. The good, the bad, the very bad and the show's impact.

6 Best Live-Action Adaptations Of Animated Properties
Netflix's new, live-action take on Avatar: The Last Airbender has arrived to stream. The eight episode series is the second attempt at adapting the beloved animated series, and while it has received mixed reviews from fans of the original, everyone agrees that it is a much better attempt than the disastrous 2010 film by M. Night Shyamalan.

Is It Time To Remake The Original 'Dragon Ball' Anime?
Dragon Ball is one of the most successful, widely known anime franchises worldwide. Even those with very little anime knowledge will often be able to recognise the series protagonist, Goku. However, while many fans have watched Dragon Ball Z, and the more recent Dragon Ball Super, far fewer, at least in Western countries have seen Dragon Ball, the original series that started it all.

Live Action Avatar the Last Airbender
I had a very short list of must haves for this first season. I gave this show so much leeway, and I tried very hard to be open minded about the inevitable changes that were going to be made to this show. I have complained a lot about said changes because they were all unnecessary and executed very poorly. But words can not express how happy I am that they kept the sexism of the Northern Water Tribe. It is so integral to Katara’s character development and so important to the story as a whole.
