These Two Would’ve Had A Great Support!

It’s scary how this is their last post.

I have to go for now. I will hopefully be back rather late tonight, or possibly tomorrow morning, depending on whether I am awake tonight or not.

I think this mostly boils down to the Netflix being unnecessary. They could’ve made a brand new show based off the Earthbender Avatar live action and I doubt most would complain. There would be a small amount of “anti woke” grifters who would complain but it’s easy to ignore those bigots. I just think they shouldn’t have adapted the original series. Keep it the way it is. Tell a new story with a new Avatar and make it live action. That would’ve been great!

Something I think ppl who complain about animated shows getting turned into live action forget is that representation matters.

Specifically talking about Avatar The Last Airbender, the creators of the animated show are white guys. The majority of the voice actors are white. The majority of the writers are white.

Yet the story is about Asian and indigenous people. They DREW Asian and indigenous people, so why are you so upset about Asian and indigenous people being excited to inhabit roles created by and voiced by (mainly) white people when it's THEIR culture actually being represented?

Why are you upset that in this live action, they made a point of uplifting as many Asian and indigenous voices, faces, and artistry as they could?

Making an adaptation of something isn't saying the previous medium isn't 'good enough'. It's not insulting the previous medium, it's just a normal human thing to want to retell stories and add to them/delve into aspects of the story that speaks to the adapter. Modern retellings aren't saying classics are 'less than', swapping the genre of a song isn't saying the original genre is 'less than', and making a stage play from a book isn't saying that books are 'less than'.

This post has nothing to do with what you think the QUALITY of the live action was like - this post is about people who view POC adapting a story about THEM as the POC being bad and insulting your precious show created by white guys.

One glance at the cast and producers of the Netflix Avatar will show you that they have nothing but the upmost reverence and love for the animated show - their intent is clearly to honor it and enhance the story, not to claim 'animation bad'.

My top 50 favorite movies, part 1! Number 50: Jaws Jaws was the first of the great blockbusters in America, a classic Man vs Nature film, j

Number 40: Disney’s Tarzan

This was another movie I loved growing up as a kid. In fact I’m according to my mom, I had a Tarzan themed 1st birthday party all the way back in 2000. This is probably the best adaptation of Tarzan out there, as well as the definitive take on the character. It’s a movie about being one with nature and how the world of man would often clash with it. Filled with great characters and great animation, this is the movie that made my love for adventure films become more apparent.

Number 39: Manhunter

Another Hannibal Lector movie for you guys. I know a lot of people have seen the more popular remake starring Edward Norton, but I think the original with William Petersen is far superior. The story of Will Graham and his hunt for the Tooth fairy, Francis Dollarhyde, is told a lot better in this version, as youth truly delve into the mind of a depraved manic who somehow managed to be on the same side of the law. It’s a classic crime thriller and one I’m proud to have watched.

Number 38: Ghostbusters

Now this is a classic, ignoring the sequels and the inferior 2016 reboot, the original Ghostbusters is a perfect blend of raunchy 80s screwball comedy and a spooky super natural film. I think what makes the original version far superior than any of the follow ups is because ghostbusters isn’t afraid to be an adult comedy. Sure it was rated PG, but let’s be real, this isn’t appropriate for kids. And that’s what made it work, it made kids feel like we were in on the joke. Mix that in with a good story, great characters like Ray Stanz and Peter Venkman, and of course an awesome theme song by Ray Parker Jr and you get one of the greatest comedies ever.

Number 37: The Incredible Hulk

This was the only time in which a Marvel movie managed to capture the tragedy of the Hulk. The late 2000s was a turning point in the comic book movie boom, and Hulk here was the first to truly show the world what he was capable of. A tragic tale of a scientist and a monster trapped together in one body, Hulk tells a great story about whether someone with these powers can use them for good or for evil. Definitely recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately the MCU started to become comedic after phase one so movies like the Hulk can’t be made anymore. What a shame.

Number 36: The Nightmare before Christmas

Directed by Henry Selick, before he directed Coraline, this is the film that captures the imagination of childlike wonder. From the excitement and thrill of Halloween to the Joy and Happiness of Christmas. Not only that, it tells a great story about how ambition is a double edge sword. Jack’s sorry about finding his place in a world that overly celebrated Halloween makes for a great character arc, and the villain, Oogie Boogie is probably one of the best Disney villains ever. Such an underrated performance. A great movie to watch during the holidays.

Number 35: Rango

2011 felt like yesterday, I miss it when I was a kid and I wasn’t overly worried about everything going on in the world. Anyways, man this movie feels like a rush. A classic throw back to westerns with a modern and meta twist. Rango is the type of movie you’d never expect to be produced by Nickelodeon of all companies. And that’s another thing, this was produced by Nickelodeon. The same company that makes SpongeBob and Dora, made Rango. Let that sink in. I love it when kids movies tell a very mature story and Rango is no exception. It’s about standing up for what’s right and helping the little man. Now time to walk into the sunset.

Number 34: South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

1999 was a really good year for animation. It’s funny how this movie would go on to predict America and Canada’s decreasing freiendship… damn you reality. Anyways, this is basically what happens when overreaction takes over society and how the act one of person can change everything… Mrs Browfloski. That’s right, she’s the real main villain of this movie. Anyways, not much to say but if you’re a fan of south park, you’re definitely gonna love this movie.

Number 33: Avengers Endgame

You HAD to be there during the endgame hype everyone. This is where the MCU should’ve ended, it is such a mind blowing adventure. A perfect conclusion to Tony Stark and Steve Roger’s stories and what would’ve been a great send off to a series. Unfortunately the show must go on. But hey, at least we can remember the good old days.

Number 32: Psycho

Surprisingly this is the only Alfred Hitchcock movie on my list, which I think is a real shame because the man has directed a plethora of amazing flicks. But if I had to choose one, it’d be Psycho. This movie was the first of what would inspire the slasher genre of movies as we tell the story of a normal looking man named Norman Bates, who is actually a cold hearted killer. This was probably the last of the traditional universal Gordo movies to be released but they went out with a bang for this. And at least it’s better than that shitty ass remake. Ugh.

Number 31: How to Train your Dragon

Ignore the live action remake, this one right here is the true version of this story. The real deal. I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it blew my mind. Hell, it still blows my mind for how epic it is. I’m honestly stunned by how well the animation held up. Especially with its great soundtrack, story, and characters, you feel like you truly are riding a dragon here. I’m bowing down to this flick.

Well that’s all for this list. Tune in next time for movies 30-21 of my top fifty favorite movies list.

If only things were different.

@ink-splotch I read your latest Harry Potter story and melted a little (lot) inside. I knew I had to draw something because this story just made me so happy. Thank you so much for writing. Everyone please go read all of these stories immediately!!!!

Glad you liked my commission.

Love this ship vastly underrated.

Fullmetal Hylian Au: Lt. Colonel Chrom Lowell (art by NaijMizuho)

When it came to who would be replacing Maes Hughes for this Au, I couldn’t think of anyone better than Robin’s best friend, Chrom, from Awakening. Chrom is by all means, a good man, and certainly one of the best lords in Fire emblem. So naturally he’d fit the father type figure they Meas Hughes has. Unfortunately like Meas Hughes, Chrom won’t love to see the final battle. Now I’m sad.

Lt colonel Chrom Lowell is the head of the Ragna Ferox investigation department, he’s good friends with Colonel Robin Daraen, the flame alchemist, and takes on a father-like figure for Link and Aryll. The most honest man in the military, Chrom will do anything for his friends and family. Unfortunately that may come back to bite him in the story.

Fullmetal Hylian (art by NaijMizuho)

What you see here is part of my Au called “Fullmetal Hylian” basically it’s a remake of Fullmetal Alchemist but with Nintendo characters. Right here we have Link and Aryll as Edward and Alphonse Elric, two teens who after comitting the ultimate taboo when they were just kids to bring their mother back, ended up losing everything with Link losing an Arm and a Leg while Aryll lost her body. Now the two must travel the country of Ragna Ferox in order to find a way to get their bodies back to normal while also uncovering a deep and long running conspiracy that will threaten the world.

I’d like to thank NaijMizuo at Twitter for drawing this for me. Go visit him.

Also if you’re interested in this Au, please go read it at Ao3 under my user name “Darthflores”, currently I’m taking a break because of schools but once finals are over, I’ll go back. So enjoy.

I thank you for this. Legit, F!Edeleth can be annoying. I don’t dislike them as much as I used to, I’ve moved on and learned to become a better person, but I still get irked at M!Edeleth not getting much real.

"I don't like M!Byleth with Edelgard because him being her old professor is creepy" literally the exact same thing can be applied to F!Byleth and Edelgard

"M!Byleth and Edelgard don't have as good of a dynamic as F!Byleth" they're the exact same character with the exact same personalities, the only difference between the two of them is their gender

"I'm just desperate for LGBT rep" F!Byleth has four other wlw options in Mercedes, Dorothea, Rhea, and Sothis, you don't have to cling to F!Edeleth for dear life if that's the reason why you attack M!Byleth x Edelgard

"Edelgard shouldn't be with a man" she's bi, she can end up with whoever tf she wants to

It's the exact same ship, just say you're a biphobe who hates the idea of a bi woman finding love in a man and leave

Signed, a bi M!Byleth x Edelgard shipper who has seen all of these as criticism for my ship by F!Byleth x Edelgard shippers

This is so cool. Love it.
