    My understanding was they didn't want to work with Nick anymore

    I think on top of hwich I heard, second hand so take with a grain of salt, that they're taking a hiatus from TV production for a bit, one of them doing movies and the other going into teaching for a while, but not sure what the source on that is

    According to Bryan himself, it's just a five-week stint on designing for TV animation, so he's definitely not taking a break from the biz yet.

    Huh, that's a new one.
    Characters shouldn't have a sexuality outside of pornography. Also, sexuality is separate from romantic love, so it is unnecessary to bring up sexuality to portray a romance. Korra could have had a relationship with anyone without making it about minorities. This won't end all persecution of bisexuals anyway, so it was pointless.

    What is this in response to, exactly?
    Korra could have had a relationship with anyone without making it about minorities.

    By definition, no.

    He's quoting someone who was complaining about the show's ending.

    Some people are just clueless about their own egocentricity. They think that just because something isn't significant to them, then it's not significant to other people. So they complain about it without recognizing its impact on other people.

    Yes that is basically how nerds constantly ruin just about anything nice.

    I think it was Hayao Miyazaki who said, "Otaku catalogue, but they do not understand." (Or something like that)

    Which seems pretty true most annoying fandoms. They'll argue over the max speed of the Enterprise in an episode instead of the actual theme of the episode.

    Often times people get into the details because they want more. Star Trek fans didn't ignore the story or character development or themes of episodes so they can argue about warp speed. They argued over warp speed because they've already talked about all the other stuff but they like the universe so much that they want to talk about everything relating to the franchise, including all the tiny details.

    Not to mention all the people who wanted to integrate their different interests. For example, a lot of early Star Trek fan fic writers were women and minorities who wrote their own stories because even though they loved the franchise, they didn't see themselves represented. Similarly, a lot of people became interested in science and space because of Star Trek so they focused more on the techy elements in the show due to their increasing enthusiasm for science.

    Plus I don't see how that affects other people's enjoyment of the franchise. If someone else like some different aspect of a franchise or expresses their enjoyment of the franchise in a different way, how does that "ruin" it? And is it really necessary to condescend towards them and imply that there's something wrong with people who do it?

    Hey guys, any word on the M Night Korra adaptation?

    Here's what I'm thinking right now:

    Korra: Bryce Dallas Howard
    Asami: Zooey Deschanel
    Sato: Paul Giamatti
    Tenzin: Bruce Willis
    Mako: Will Smith
    Bolin: Jaden Smith

    I don't think Shyamalan can get any big name actors to work with him nowadays.

    Hiroshi Sato will probably be played by John Oliver
    Tenzin will probably be played by Mel Gibson
    Mako and Bolin: Macaulay Culkin and Edward Furlong
    Korra: Vanessa Hudgens
    Asami: Julianne Hough
    Amon: Kevin Costner
    Voices of Raava and Vaatu: Shyamalan

    I wonder if Shyamalan's Airbender movie destroyed his kids' love for the show (and their father).

    Also there's this! <3

    Asami looks amazing. I love how Japanese she looks, I always assumed from her clothing that she had Fire Nation heritage even though she was a non-bender.

    She's good in Sucker Punch and amazing in The Frozen Ground. The former shows her as an action heroine, the latter shows her skills as a dramatic actress.

    Yeah, but she's also partly Asian, which means she's only allowed to play the villain.

    So Vanessa Hudgens as Kuvira.

    Viacom owns Korra. In theory they could farm the show to another network but every network is owned by a major competitor so its not gonna happen.

    Williams Street/Adult Swim would be my first choice. Netflix after that though.
