Fun story - I watched the Last Airbender movie years before seeing the animated series, and I kind of liked it, mostly because of the world it built. Then I actually watched the series a couple of years ago and now (expectedly) the movie seems totally bland by comparison.
I was deeply disappointed by some people's reactions to TLJ. Okay, I can understand not liking a movie, everyone has different tastes and preferences... but becoming obsessed with smearing it in every possible way, uploading countless videos ranting on and on why it's the most horrible thing since smallpox - that I cannot understand. I worry we're not far from the day when movies will have to pause every half an hour and display the message "It's just a movie, please get a grip." in big red letters.
Regarding the new TCW episodes - I wonder if we'll get to see Rex and the others removing their chips. Or maybe that scene with Ahsoka and Sidious on two sides of a locked door that I've heard about.
Y'know, my mom did the same thing with the movie. She liked it at first, but I finally got her to sit down and watch the entire series through and I think she likes it more. (Her almost-immediate reaction to the finale was "SO WHERE'S ZUKO'S MOM?!", so I think I got her hooked) I tried, I really did, but Katara's constant unnecessary narration of what's happening in the scene as it bloody happens, that awful Blue Spirit costume, the horrid bending effects and Yue's 'we believe in our beliefs just as much as they do' line... *shudder* Give me any episode of Avatar or Korra over The Last Airbender any day. I'll even take the Avatar episode with those annoying hippies...
After all the harassment Kelly Marie Tran went through, I'm almost ashamed to be a SW fan. They chased that poor woman off social media just because they didn't like her character. I got pretty furious when people vandalized her Wookieepedia page and called her, among many other things, 'autistic' as an insult. As a high-functioning autistic person myself, people like that just make me want to repeatedly punch them in innumerable, painful places...
I just can't wait to see Ahsoka and Maul face off! And that moment when Anakin leaves her the 332nd (I think it was the 332nd...) and Rex―y'know, the one that made Ashley Eckstein sob onstage at Celebration when Dave Filoni started describing the scene because it was so good. Plus, Mandalorians. You CANNOT go wrong with more Mandalorians. I AM JUST SO EXCITED I CANNOT PROPERLY EXPRESS IT!!!
