Why are modern movie posters so bad?

[–] madcaesar 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's like they are ai generated. Same construction, same color.

The sun is constantly setting down in the Orange and blue empire.

lol. you don't remember the two big faces posters of the 80's and 90's? No A.I involved back in those days.

Gotta agree. Im assuming it will have the traditional hero story too even if the avatar lore says otherwise. Maybe this sells better?

[–] madcaesar 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll say it again, some stuff simply doesn't translate well into life action.

DBZ, TLA... it just will look goofy when it's actually taken fully serious.

We loved these shows because they are a bit silly, yet have cool messages. But, the minute you start doing kamehamehas in real life.... It's just absurd.

The One Piece Live Action worked well enough. You just have to capture the spirit and be willing to ditch things that look too silly on film.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

And have a multi million dollar budget per episode. That also helps

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Exactly this. If they dont take themselves too serious and adapt the silly spirit, it can work.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Hopefully it's as good as the original movie. It's one of my top five movies of all time.

/s

Here, you dropped this.

There exist comments that are so absurd that nobody would seriously make them on the internet.

They are rare, almost impossible to find, but we were lucky to witness a rare exemplar of them right on their natural environment.

Lol I lose it every time the earth benders do their little dance in the middle.

Found it!

[–] Squizzy 18 points 10 months ago

I don't have a dog in this race but this poster sucks and it makes me feel like the content will also.

It's not just that it's a boring poster the show looks meh in it.

Katara looks like she's giving directions, or possibly guiding a tour

[–] calypsopub 3 points 10 months ago

She's replacing Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune

Wtf are the firelord and azula doing in season 1? That's worrying

[–] PP_BOY_ 10 points 10 months ago

Showrunners are never given any assurance that they'll be given another season, so they're pressured to tell as much of the story in the one season they're greenlit for. I have no doubt that tue original ATLA story will be 75% told in this single season.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's probably better that she doesn't appear out of nowhere in season 2

[–] blahsay 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

She was alluded to originally, shown briefly and spoken about. I wouldn't call it nowhere.

It seems like they are both a major part of the live action.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Toph say what?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I for one am excited to see TLA in live action for the first time ever.

[–] Fridgeratr 9 points 10 months ago

Yep that's certainly a poster.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It definitely looks a lot better than the live action movie that Nickelodeon (or whoever worked on it) certainly never made and definitely wasn't a commercial flop that signaled that live action movies based on animated series are always gonna be cash grab garbage if they're not made by passionate fans with a humongous budget

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It was M Night Shyamalan lmao that is so hilarious to think about sometimes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Momo is as big as a sheep compared to that house he's sitting in front of.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I am keeping my expectations low, that way I can’t be disappointed

[–] RizzRustbolt 5 points 10 months ago

I didn't know that Daniel Dae Kim was a graduate of the Joey Tribbiani School of Acting...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

that looks god awful ugly.

[–] xc2215x 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully it will be good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

After the last live action dumpster fire, I'm not getting my hopes up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dem thick eyebrows on Aang though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Weren't the original creators on board at first but later bailed? I will be surprised if this isn't garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

They parted ways at some point in pre-production. There are various accounts about why, one popular theory is that is was due to the original creators being offered huge deals at Nickelodeon.
