As The New Yorker reported in a report on Mattel's post-"Barbie" plans, it's not just Mattel that's leaning heavily into IP. Warner Bros. Discovery is working on a scripted "Harry Potter" TV series, attempting to lean into a brand that's been tarnished for some by its creator's transphobia, not to mention a series of lackluster prequel films. Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins told Variety in a profile published Wednesday that the studio's upcoming animated films would focus on familiar franchises like "Avatar: The Last Airbender," rather than going after "expensive original animated" films with less certain audiences.
ATLA's only real weakness to me is that the first Book is a bit slow. Other than that is pretty incredible. I love the story, the characters, their development, the world building.
That's actually where I stopped watching, so maybe I just missed the really good shit
Yeah it only gets better as it goes.
