Hey instead of just canceling your Paramount plus subscription, put that money you were spending to good use by donating to npr and pbs
Only about $1.60 per tax paying us citizen was being spent on public broadcasting per year.
Donating $1.60 per month would make up for the loss of budget from 12 taxpayers. If you donate your paramount plus subscription of $7.99 you are making up for the money spent on it from 60 tax payers per year!
If you had the 12.99 subscription? You are making up for the loss of budget that would have come from nearly 100 people.
If just ten people do a donation of 12.99 per month, that makes up for the taxes of 900+ people. Imagine if 100 people did monthly donations? And that's JUST if you do 12.99$ a month.
Consider donating.
Support PBS by giving to the PBS Foundation or by donating to your local station.
Hell npr has a special bonus service if you do 8$ a month^^^^
Cancel some subscriptions you don't use and do this instead.
Is there a way to Iron Lung the new Avatar Aang movie? Like can I call up my local theater and be like "Ayo can yall play this movie? Pwease 🙏? " I NEED to see it big screen with other fans.
Reasons why I'm relieved the Zuko movie got canned:
Seeing how the Aang movie treated its animators, I feel morally justified in my relief.
Seeing how the fans were treated with the theater bs adds onto point 1.
I do not trust them to write a proper script and storyline.
They were "taking inspiration from but not directly adapting" [The Search] and [Smoke and Shadow] comic trilogies? The infamous, out of character, plot contrived, melodramatic, poorly written, Azula-is-crazy-and-she-needs-to-go-down comics? Need I say more?
As noted in point 4– They do not respect (nor do I ever expect it of them) Azula's mental health and psychological needs.
Zuko, Iroh and Fire Nation glazing would have been burning hotter than Sozin's Comet.
If they included Ursa, they'd probably have to retcon the comics. There is no way to include her without it coming directly from the comics timeline. It just wouldn't fit into a ~2hr film.
Killing off the last two dragons, save Druk, makes me wonder if the writers just love exterminating oppressed groups for drama's sake. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Fire Nation politics. Who would rule while the Fire Siblings are off on an adventure? Iroh? These sort of "I have to go on a side quest for the hundredth time" occurrences being accepted by the Fire Nation does not make sense. It just sounds like avoidant, incompetent behavior from their leader.
Would it include Mai and Ty Lee? Would they be sidelined or stripped of their personality?
They would've either had the siblings somehow reconcile within a movie's length after nearly three decades of being arch nemesis... or, they would've stretched the conflict out and we don't get a proper resolution.
The same-face, nose-job anime artstyle haunts me. And so does manwha Zuko.
If Zuko learned lightning bending, would it be through Azula? How, when and why? What would the thematic buildup be? Would he zap at a threat with it? Would morals be involved?
I'm not sure if a murder mystery plot is something the writers could pull off with this set of characters, within a movie's length. How do you handle the pacing?
I heard it included a failed assassination attempt on Iroh. And we all know how I feel about Iroh happily living his life, snorting lavender and drinking from porcelain cups.
While I always condone piracy from large corporations, it should never be the only means of watching a movie or series, since it both limits the audience and hurts the careers of those involved, especially with the absence of physical media releases and the attempt to seemingly erase all evidence of them from the internet.
The important thing to do now is continue to spread awareness and support of those series so that they remain in the public consciousness. That includes sharing torrents, making your own copies (preferably physical ones) and creating fan content so that more people know about them.
We shouldn’t have to deal with an entire generation of lost media just because some penny-pinching cunts on a stick decided that they’re not worth supporting anymore.
