I think the purpose of the movie is pretty obvious. ATLA had 2 huge resurgences lately: first during the pandemic, when the Netflix views of the show skyrocketed, and then with the live-action, which was a huge hit despite having subpar reviews. It’s obvious to me that the showrunners saw this wave of love for the show and wanted to cash in on it, ergo the movie. I don’t think they cared about telling a story that would be a fulfilling and satisfying sequel

But that's the thing, I am absolutely sure this was the driving impetus, but it doesn't make sense from a practical perspective. That being accepted as the case--why didn't they do anything substantial to play on the nostalgia they were banking on? It should've been the easiest slam dunk ever, and yet they wasted so much of the movie's runtime on rehashed plotlines and new characters we neither know nor have (nor are given) any reason to care about. Even if they just cut the Denied, who were largely pointless and ideologically incoherent, and gave that time to the gaang, that would've been a solid chunk of movie going to what fans would actually want to see.

The AtLA renaissance happened when the original show was put on Netflix, and the Live Action show is making some waves by both doing its own thing and retelling the original story in a way that has captured interest and funneled further interest into the original work. But this new movie does none of that, for no conceivable reason.

Steve: Come on, go with me, Billy’s standing with Heather and we can flirt with them both!

Robin: Are you trying to get everybody rejected? I haven’t even talked to Heather, ever! It’s gonna ruin my chance with her!

Steve: You don't have to do anything. It will just be easier if it is the two of us, like when we worked at Scoops Ahoy, remember? You break the ice with some kind of jokes so that they know you're the funny one and I swoop in with some interesting conversation, so they'll see that I'm the brilliant, brooding, sexy one

Robin: …I thought I got to make the jokes!

Steve: Shut up, come on, help me, I don’t know how else I can flirt with Billy

Robin: Fine, all right, let’s go

Robin: Hey! Hello, um, my name is Robin, here's Steve, you know him Billy, and we were wondering you know if you two up for it. We only need six more people for a human pyramid!

Billy & Heather: …

Robin: Swoop! Swoop!

Steve: So! Um, oh, hey, Billy, I noticed you were reading the paper...another flood in Europe? Here’s a question, would you rather drown or be burnt alive?

Billy & Heather: …

Billy: The fuck?

Heather: We’re gonna leave now

Steve: …

Robin: We still got it!

It’s like they tried so hard to make Dean seem like a terrible person to be a parent of Jensen couldn’t help it because his inner dean that raised Sam and wa sos food with kids (especially in the early seasons since they always had dean with the kid and Sam with the girl except for the bug episode)

Like no one knows how to dad like Dean does and nothing will change that

yeah like !! whoever decided to make dean a worse person in the end clearly didn’t understand jensen knowing the character better and the way that dean would at least Try to be a good dad to jack

Haruta how did Pops adopt you?

“He just kinda picked me up and declared I was now his kid after I tried to rob him. Kinda like with Ace except I didn’t try to consecutively kill him for 100 days, I just tried to swim away.” Haruta shrugged.
