Reply to comment by FondleGanoosh438 in ‘Succession’ Tops Itself Again With a Brisk, Brutal and Hilarious Final Season by johnppd

It's hard to ever truly "love" a first episode of a show when you first watch it. You don't have an attachment for the characters. I had the same "didn't love it/didn't hate it" reaction to the first episode of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, they didn't hook me until later on.

Personally I usually watch the first 3 or 4 episodes, if it hasn't hooked me after the fourth episode then it's not for me. Or if I actively dislike it because you can tell the writing is bad (see Rings of Power, I quit half way through the third episode because I was so bored and tons of things jut didn't make sense).

It's extra funny because she's actually had a really good career, but in voice work. She voiced Katara in Avatar, was Tinker Bell in all of those animated movies from a little while back, was April in TMNT, and has done stuff for Invincible, Young Justice, and a lot of other projects.

But Egg might legitimately be her most well-known live action role, so that's all she'll ever be hahaha.

I don't know how she feels about it now but a while back she seemed to not give a shit about Avatar.

It's been a while since I thought about it so my memory is a bit rusty but; she didn't post anything about it when there was some big anniversary.

When it got added to Netflix she didn't post anything about it, when another old thing she did got added she posted about it a lot. When a season of her show made the top ten for a week, she posted a lot about it while Avatar was number one for several weeks in a row and a Netflix executive said it was their biggest show of the summer and she still didn't post about it.

The cast have talked about how they're still in contact with eachother, her being tge only exception.

She has done a couple of those 'celebrity talks about their famous roles' things and Avatar is never brought up even though it's arguably her most famous work.

I know that there's more but I can't remember it. I realize I sound obsessed, lol, but some time ago I tried to find clips of the cast talking about the show, hers was the only one I couldn't find and it led me down this rabbit hole.

Reply to It has been more than a week since the first season of The Last of Us ended. What are your thoughts and opinions about it? by mrnicegy26

I haven't played the game and l liked it, but I thought the beginning of the show was the strongest part. The pilot was great especially the first half and the second episode was also amazing. The infected felt like a actual threat in this episode and some good action l. Episode 3 was a great standalone episode that made me cry so much really unexpected.

The middle part of the season was the weakest. It wasn't bad, but it had pacing issues and I wish the infected would have been more of an issue. Also I wished we would have spent a little bit more time with just the main characters. The character development for Joel happened to fast for me in the end I think in the end the show would have benefitted from a few more episodes maybe 12 or at least 10.

Overall I still think it's a good show with some flaws, but still a I'm looking forward to season 2
