Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024– )

Take with a grain of salt

[10/10 · 25 February 2024]

As a die hard fan of the original Netflix took a massive gamble but in hopes with my review I'm taking this show for what it is. Trying to fit 22 episodes into a 8 episode season I understand what Netflix are trying to do. Yes we know it was rushed for the story and yes we know a lot of the actors/actress are new to this. BUT can we not give this a chance?

It captures the elements of the original in some aspects but we have to accept this show done the cartoon series some massive justice. The Easter eggs and hopes of Netflix wanting to revive it for season2 (or book 2) is near and far. I accepted this series needed some work but in my opinion it done the series a lot of justice. The scenery, the sets and the acting was everything I expected from a first time proper attempt from Netflix for this title.

I can guarantee that if Netflix did 16 episodes the show would have been more refined and fresh to its current and previous audience. Let's hope Netflix see this and renew it for longer season in book 2 and make what all fans across the world are hoping for. Overall it was a great show and there is no need to nit pick the pettiness every other person is doing for what the original held. Just remember this is what every fan has been hoping for and Netflix have done its fans the justice it's been looking for since it's predecessor done on that horrific movie.

Fallout 76 (2018 Video Game)

Came back after three years and..

Game has gotten a whole lot better with NPCs it breathes life back in to the world (why they didn't do this is beyond me when it first released). From a story point of view it's ok at least your not chasing down a long lost relative or some sort. As a true fan to the series it ain't the best but for what you get the plus side is the custom worlds with your friends. The shooting mechanics roll over from Fo4 and the dialogue we all loved and missed is back from Fo3. The choices ain't the best for the end part but it's understandable being an online game with its mechanics.

I'm glad the lore is somewhat relates to the previous entries and the world is stunning but the engine needs a massive upgrade. I could keep going on but to say the least the game redeems itself as a fallout entry. You never know it maybe like wine it gets better with age. Good work Todd Howard and your ever growing team this game is what I hoped it would be three years ago.
