I wonder how this relates to the recently leaked (because Paramount decided on no theatre run) Avatar film.

[–] greybeard@feddit.online 20 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I struggle with Avatar right now. It's great story telling, world building, compassion, and just a cool world. Unfortunately, it's owned by Paramount, which I'm unwilling to give a dime to. I have the same problem with Star Trek. There are, of course, ways around giving them money. I just wish these crappy companies would stop being so crappy. I don't expect giant media companies to be good, but like not comically evil would be a good start.

That's what I did to watch the leaked movie.

As an act of rebellion, don't just pirate it. Seed and share. Give a copy to everyone you know.

Paramount can FOAD, I wouldn't give them a red cent.

(Fuck Off And Die)

I thought that was still in parlance. Too bad

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

It's definitely in parlance I'm just dumb

Probably heavily. Companies seem allergic to show A:TLA some much-deserved love.

I'm so glad it was leaked. I'd gladly see it again in theatres, or buy a disc. Paramount fully earned their "my cabbages!" moment.

It was excellent. The only thing keeping it from perfection in my eyes was the pacing, which didn't really let many moments breathe. At one point it bordered on Monkie Kid and Rise of the TMNT-style of pacing from their 11 min episodes, both series of which Flying Bark Studios worked on.

The art style, design, and BG art was to die for.

I'd describe it as a DBZ plot/energy wrapped in the Avatar setting.

I quite liked it. Some choices I wouldn't have done myself, and I was sorry not to hear Dante Basco doing Zuko again. Overall pretty great, compared to what you'd reasonably expect from a highly anticipated, highly belated sequel.
