Book 1: Imprisoned / The Spirit World (Winter Solstice pt. 1)

*inhales deeply* BOY - 

We open with - here's another reminder that these are just kids; Sokka returning from foraging for food and found a handful of nuts and rocks.

They spot a boy earthbending in a nearby quarry, when Katara greets him, he runs off and collapses some boulders behind them.

#100: The Greatest Showman

In a sentence:

The fake origin story of P.T Barnum is met by a thunderous storm of 'who cares', with scattered applause of 'why do I care'."

Book 1: The Warriors of Kyoshi / The King of Omashu

Well, the Gaang is lost.

Film in 2017

So 2017 is nearly at an end. How does it stack up?

I like it less than 2016 - but not by a whole bunch. I missed many of the "great" movies like Logan, Wonder Woman, and Baby Driver - they did little to interest me.

This year had quite a lot of films that flew under the radar - maybe they weren't the best, but I liked them a lot.

So, let's go.

Book 1: The Southern Air Temple

Fun fact; This is the only episode in the series that does not have it's title card against a plain white background.

So Aang was a little caught up in the excitement of waking up, making new friends, and fighting the Fire Nation to fully realize that he was asleep for a hundred years, and that everyone he knows is dead.

Oops.

Book 1: The Boy in The Iceberg / The Avatar Returns

This is Avatar; The Last Airbender, one of the greatest shows Nickelodeon has ever produced.

And it's time to rewatch it.

Since these are twenty minute shows with an overarching plot and story, I'm aiming for two posts a week. I'm using the fan-remastered HD look that looks kind of funny for the first few episodes but straightens out, but you can buy an official HD version on Amazon and iTunes!

No, I will not touch that 'movie'.

Chapter 4: The Last Five Episodes + (Mostly) Entire Series Review

Thumbelieveable was technically supposed to be before the Faybelle and Melody episodes.

A cancelled school field trip won't shrink Nina Thumbell's thirst for adventure! She's ready to show her friends a wildly fun side of Ever After High that they've never seen before.

(Ironically, four days after I posted that, we got our first inkling of The Nutcracker ... and it looks quite nice!)

A WRINKLE IN TIME

MARCH 9TH, 2018

Now I have never read the titular novel, but making the lead half-black to be palatable to white america and putting so many people of color in these fantasy roles, also this is the biggest budget movie a Black Woman filmmaker (Ava Duvernay) has ever had to work with, so I want this to succeed, and when it does, it's going to be glorious.

Chapter 4: A Tale of Two Parties / Piping Hot Beats

These recaps are going to get horrendously shorter. There's really not much to these last few webisodes besides 'Uh ho, switcharoo or subversion of expectations!'.

A Tale of Two Parties starts us off with a new song and a new intro!

Ashlynn and Holly attempt a daring costume change in an effort to attend two theme parties on the same night and avoid Faybelle's wicked curse. 

You'll notice that said intro replaces Briar with Cedar. Only one token at a time, I guess.

(This is a little delayed because I thought there was only one more post to go instead of this + the finale. My bad!)

BLACK PANTHER 

16 FEB 2018

Black superheroes with the Marvel brand behind them? (I don't think BLADE had the Marvel name on him) Yes, please! In such tumultuous times as these, it's needed more than ever to show awesome portrayals of people of color, in this case, black people, on the big screen. And it being part of the MCU means everyone is going to see it.
