This guy is my hero.
Huh. This is pretty much my list of WORST cartoons on tv. Except Ben 10.Really? Because we have a crap load in my opinion.
- Adventure Time
- Regular Show
- Phineas and Ferb
- Young Justice
- Generator Rex
- Ben 10, in all of it's various incarnations
- MLP: Friendship is Magic
- Transformers Prime
Do you have any IDEA what my Saturday mornings are like? I have to be up at like 6 am.
That guy is Bryan Konietzko, creator of the show.This guy is my hero.
What if this is where they based the animation on? That'd be cray-cray.That guy is Brian Konietzko, creator of the show.
It'll be on Nick Canada and YTV eventually, but not until the first season is underway. But if you don't have cable, your basically going to be forced to download them. Welcome to our world... Americans had to download the last half of Season 3 of Avatar because it was airing overseas first because Nick was dragging it's feet.Don't have Niko, so that's my only option.
They've addressed that in the show: Magic IS real and Charm Caster/Hex Master DO use it, as does Gwen. Mana (the energy Annodites use) is the raw energy form of magic and Annodites are just naturally able to use it without much training. It's only other species that need incantations and focuses to make it work for them. Check the wikia for more info.Except Ben 10? So the "Magic isn't real, your gramma is an alien" line didn't bother you?
It's the acting reference for the animators, yes. See here.What if this is where they based the animation on? That'd be cray-cray.
It was her dad who said it, but the way he said it is sounded like the writers wanted to make it hard sci-fi or something. Baaaaaaaaaaad idea. But whatevs. Still wish there were more things based on mythology in the show, magical and alien. Like, how come reptiloids or grays are never mentioned, at all?! Yes I am being nitpicky, but I'm a bit of xeno-nerd.They've addressed that in the show: Magic IS real and Charm Caster/Hex Master DO use it, as does Gwen.

Whoever made the original comment in the show is basically just plain wrong at this point, or rather didn't understand the difference.
...that is awesome. Nothing more to say than that. Now, season one is probably gonna be Korra fighting Amon and the triad on the side. Does anyone still hope for some trippy spirit world stories? I do.It's the acting reference for the animators, yes. See here.
So you haven't watched it at all is what you're saying? Because I dare that comparison to make less sense.Young Justice feels like the Jersey Shore of the DCAU,
Not liking the show and completely mischaracterizing the show are two different things.Dude doesn't like the show.
It's not an indictment of your tastes so there's no need to get defensive.
When the comparison is to Jersey Shore...yes it is. Jersey Shore is a bunch of barely literate, over tanned muscleheads and wannabe divas drinking (frequently in hot tubs), screwing (again, in hot tubs), and generally being everything that is potentially wrong with twenty somethings. The purpose is so that people can watch the trainwreck that is these people's futureless lives. It is pure lowest-common-denominator. Comparing any halfway decent scripted series to it is a grave insult.Dude doesn't like the show.

That's all subject to change, depending on how well the series is received. We COULD get a 3rd or 4th season if the ratings are high enough.I don't know if they'll tackle spirit world stuff in the first season. Unless they changed it, but season 1 is/was only supposed to be 12 episodees - which doesn't leave a lot of dilly-dally time. Then season 2 would be 14 episodes, making this show a mini-series.
She was exiled, actually.Huh. I didn't know the Zuko's mom thing was a mystery. I just figured they were implying she was whacked, but couldn't directly say it since it was a kid's show.
Technically it would be patricide. Azulon was Ozai's dad.Grampacide.
True. Lexpatricide do it for you?Patricide-in-law.
None of these terms are as fun as grampacide.
...shallow and whiny? THEIR TEENAGERS! That's what teenagers ARE! In that respect they got it right.I didn't say it was Jersey Shore, I said it was the Jersey Shore of the DCAU. That doesn't require a 1-to-1 comparison. I just find it rather shallow and whiny compared to the gold of the DCAU that has come before. You guys read way to much into a minor dismissal.
