Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024– )

Decent Adaptation that is good but not pretty good.

[8/10 · 24 February 2024]

Although I gave the show 8 stars out of 10, I must admit that it's more like 7.5 stars. I do like the show, but I must say that it would have been considered a pretty good show if I didn't have any prior knowledge about the original show. However, with my prior knowledge, I see it as a good show, but not pretty good.

The show certainly has its strong points. The production quality is great, and the acting is okay. The adaptation of the original show is decent. However, there are some aspects that could have been improved.

In my opinion, the show needs to be a little bit more aligned with the original, not necessarily a recreation, but a little bit more aligned. The current adaptation is good, but it could've been better. I hope that in season 2, the producers take note of this feedback and make some adjustments to the show. If they manage to make the necessary changes, it would be amazing to see the show reach its full potential.

Elemental (2023)

Another outstanding Pixar movie that gives you joy

[9/10 · 2 October 2023]

"Elemental" is an outstanding Pixar movie that utilizes the medium of animation to tell a compelling story. It goes beyond being just a rom-com and instead offers a powerful narrative about people, even though the characters represent elements. Pixar effectively uses various elements to convey a captivating human story that resonates with viewers. The film highlights the idea that despite our differences, we can coexist in a society that often tries to separate us. "Elemental" stands out as one of the most visually colourful movies with excellent music, including a memorable end credits song. While children may not fully grasp the film's deep concepts, it leaves a lasting impact on their lives, and when they revisit it as adults, they will come to understand its profound message.
