 So apparently, flippet  has some "issues" about season 3, not to mention we haven't talked about season 1 or 2 yet!  So this is a space for us to do so.  Anyone on my f-list who knows and liked this show... or wants to know and like this show... should feel free to join us.  (Yes, seri_scribble  that means you!)

Okay, so....my issues. I'm about five or six eps in. Is it just me, or did they totally switch animators and writers? And not in a good way?

The animation I can mostly deal with....but it seems 'cheaper' somehow...they've got the huge eyes far too often (and not just with surprise), and it just doesn't seem to have the depth it had before.

And the writing for the Beach ep? Ugh. I understand that Zuko is having issues, and the issues make a kind of sense, but the way he went about things seemed awfully out of character for him. Plus, the whole 'let's everyone spill our feelings' bit didn't seem in the true-Avatar vein either. It's like it's gone from being equally geared to adults and kids, to being geared strictly for the 8-to-12-year-old set. Blech.

But maybe that's just me.

Ah, The Beach! How I've worked hard to erase that from my memory.

Yes, the show too a dip in the beginning of Season 3... probably because they dragged out the Zuko redemption storyline too long. I mean it was a wonderfully shocking cliffhanger... but it didn't feel right. But that's just my opinion. I have been told I'm unreasonably fond of Zuko.

The good news is that the show picks back up around the Day of Black Sun and the following episode The Firebending Masters is one of my favorites!

By the way, should I be replying to you or should I follow Keytus rules of posting?

Depends on how big we think the thread is gonna get. :-)

(Sorry, I stepped away for a bit.)

Well that's going to depend on how much we have to say! ;-)
