Still a solid believer that wenclair should be made canon in a 3rd season and that season 2 should be more about separating Enid from Ajax and setting up the future relationship between Wednesday and Enid.

If wenclair happens s2, it will feel rushed. There’s no argument there.

GIVE! OUR! GIRLS! TIME!!!

Okay so I finally watched the Netflix Avatar series and I have thoughts. Overall I actually thought it was okay. The rest of my thoughts are bullet pointed because it's easier for me to organize thoughts and keep them shorter that way.

What I disliked first:

They didn't trust the audience enough to fill in the blanks. The dialogue was really hand hold-y. It was almost like the writers were scared of silence and felt like they had to fill it.

They didn't/couldn't find the right balance between keeping the spirit of the cartoon and making it more serious. This caused the overall mood of the show to feel disjointed and almost like a different show at times.

Some of the wigs/bald caps werrrre...not great. Shoulda hired some drag queens.

I don't like that Mike and Bryan aren't involved. You can feel their touch missing.

I didn't care for the actor who played Sokka. It was partially what he was given to work with, like in the script, but I just...he didn't feel like Sokka. And I'm a Sokka girlie so that was sad.

Some slight changes were made to Aang's avatar state and. Idk. He doesn't even try to water bend this season? Weird choices, didn't care for those.

That was NOT Bumi. I refuse to believe that was actually him.

They needed more than 8 episodes. If they don't want to do a traditional 20+ episodic TV series, they need 10 at the bare minimum, but 12 would have been ideal.

Things that were okay:

Getting kids to act well is difficult, but I did think for the most part they did pretty good. But sometimes it was a little shaky.

Momo and Appa. They looked okay, but I hate it when things are very obviously CGI and have that like. Plastic shiny look to them almost.

They also weren't in the show enough for my liking.

The musical score for the most part, wasn't super memorable. The parts I do remember were the bits they took right from the show. Which is fine, I just wish they would have either done something completely new and WOWed me or utilized even more of the original score and really lean into it.

This could have been caused by the mood rapidly shifting from campy to Dramatic™️ so fast, but it sometimes it felt like an old kung fu movie and I think that saved some of the "worse" acting.

Things I, dare I say, loved:

Without getting too much into spoilers, because I do think the whole scene was pretty dope and you deserve to see it unsullied: Kyoshi.

Just in general, actually, the entirety of episode 2. The Kyoshi warriors were just. PERFECT.

The fight scenes were actually really well done and if they wanted to just film and animate people bending ala those old stick fight videos I'd watch that shit.

Oma and Shu are a win for sapphics everywhere

The avatar state visuals were also dope.

Dallas Liu as Zuko. He did SO well.

The Blue Spirit mask. Holy shit. That whole part of the episode. I love Zuko. So. Much.

While I'm talking about Zuko, because, AGAIN I love him, they made some additions to his backstory that I think worked really well. I can also see how, given they had 8 episodes to the original 20, these changes make it easier for people who didn't watch the original show to start to maybe like Zuko.

Ozai was already scary but he's. SCARY. Like. Daniel Dae Kim is scary in this role and I love what he did.

I did enjoy Azula being in it a little more than she was in the cartoon.

Most importantly: They let Sokka say ass. (Now let Aang say fuck.)

So like. Overall when I weigh what I liked vs didn't like, and how much I liked the things that I did, I'd give it a 3.5/5.

You will be disappointed if you go into it expecting it to be exactly like the cartoon. I do acknowledge I am an easy nerd to please, but just go into it with an "open mind" or whatever. Is it good? Eh. Is it fun? Yes! Will I watch it again? Probably not, but if there's a season 2 I'll watch it. 🤷

Guys I didn’t even realize Danielle Cormack played Jane’s mom in MFMM til @glamorouspixels asked me about it 😂😂😂 This furthers my hypothesis that every actor in Australia/New Zealand has been on some combination of MFMM, Wentworth, and All Saints (or all three, if you’re Tammy 👀)

I really love the idea of Wednesday and Enid becoming so close and comfortable with each other, before they get together, that they don’t really hold up any pretenses with each other anymore. Which is pretty much how everyone else figures out that they’re dating before they do.

But seriously, they don’t have any issue with holding hands just as a basic comfort thing. It helps remind them that they’re both still alive, and they’re safe now. They obviously hug quite a few times, though that’s a rarer thing for them due to Wednesday’s aversion to touch. And sitting pressed against each other is their version of cuddling, again due to Wednesday’s aversion to touch, and so they do it all the time.

And over time, they grow more and more lackadaisical about wearing clothes around each other. At first, it’s nothing too wild, just Enid wearing boxers and a loose shirt and Wednesday wearing clothes that don’t hide all her skin. But in barely any time at all, they’re both going full days without whole articles of clothing. Hell, one time Enid went a whole weekend without wearing any pants or underwear and neither of them paid any mind to it.

And of course, their favorite, and after some point, their only way to sleep was together in one of their beds and completely naked.

Really, it reflects their budding vulnerability with each other. They’re not embarrassed to show themselves fully to the other, neither emotionally nor physically. And I think that’s special. Because even in the show, it’s established pretty quickly that neither of them is afraid to tell the other how it is straight to their face. I mean, that whole back and forth they had that totally wasn’t flirting (🙄) just shows how strong their relationship is, before any feelings are even formed.

And I think it’s way more of a stretch to say that there isn’t any chemistry between them. But that’s just me lol.

Anyway, I’m rambling now, so I’ll shut up lol

[horrorxweasley]
