    Avatar really is a case study in mismanagement. At it’s core an engaging story with deep characters and lore with many parts unexplored, with a special place in many hearts after the initial series. The perfect ingredients to turn into a lifelong franchise. Yet it cannot seem to shed the curse of rights holders and suits smothering it’s potential success.

      It’s wild how they had a fire TV show that changed people’s lives, and they then proceeded to fumble every other piece of media since

        It’s strange to look back at the Legend of Korra and realise it was totally fine, just worse than the original show, when comparing it to literally everything else that’s come from the IP since.

      I struggle with Avatar right now. It’s great story telling, world building, compassion, and just a cool world. Unfortunately, it’s owned by Paramount, which I’m unwilling to give a dime to. I have the same problem with Star Trek. There are, of course, ways around giving them money. I just wish these crappy companies would stop being so crappy. I don’t expect giant media companies to be good, but like not comically evil would be a good start.

      The fighting game is being done by an indie studio (albeit, one featuring reasonably prestigious alumns.) It probably had no impact on the RPG.
