I wonder how this relates to the recently leaked (because Paramount decided on no theatre run) Avatar film.

[–] greybeard@feddit.online 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I struggle with Avatar right now. It's great story telling, world building, compassion, and just a cool world. Unfortunately, it's owned by Paramount, which I'm unwilling to give a dime to. I have the same problem with Star Trek. There are, of course, ways around giving them money. I just wish these crappy companies would stop being so crappy. I don't expect giant media companies to be good, but like not comically evil would be a good start.

That's what I did to watch the leaked movie.

Hell yeah! Despite my one issue being the pacing of the film, I would highly recommend it!

As an act of rebellion, don't just pirate it. Seed and share. Give a copy to everyone you know.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Paramount can FOAD, I wouldn't give them a red cent.

(Fuck Off And Die)

I thought that was still in parlance. Too bad

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

It's definitely in parlance I'm just dumb

Probably heavily. Companies seem allergic to show A:TLA some much-deserved love.

[–] Clasm@ttrpg.network 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Only because the C-suites' don't have a creative bone in their collective bodies. They only know how to follow 'numbers go up!'

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

While equally not knowing how to get the line off the ground.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm so glad it was leaked. I'd gladly see it again in theatres, or buy a disc. Paramount fully earned their "my cabbages!" moment.

It was excellent. The only thing keeping it from perfection in my eyes was the pacing, which didn't really let many moments breathe. At one point it bordered on Monkie Kid and Rise of the TMNT-style of pacing from their 11 min episodes, both series of which Flying Bark Studios worked on.

The art style, design, and BG art was to die for.

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah imo they needed like an extra 30min (at least) of runtime to let moments breathe and tell the story they wanted to.

Otherwise, animation, art style, choreography, etc, all 10/10 though.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I would KILL for an extra 30 min for the movie. If nothing else, just to add more quiet moments. The whole time I was watching the movie I could FEEL the story wanting to slow down a bit and just let the scenery speak for itself.

I'd describe it as a DBZ plot/energy wrapped in the Avatar setting.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

I quite liked it. Some choices I wouldn't have done myself, and I was sorry not to hear Dante Basco doing Zuko again. Overall pretty great, compared to what you'd reasonably expect from a highly anticipated, highly belated sequel.
