RIGHT! I guess I can add a new tag, since it appears that I've been sucked down the fannish black hole that is Avatar: The Last Airbender over the last few days. (We're up to 2x04 in, um, four days. Or maybe three. Can't stop watching, send help.)
Random thoughts:
- Everyone is so cute OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. ♥ ♥ ♥
- I cannot possibly guess who![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xparrot's favorite character is. NO REALLY, NO IDEA AT ALL. *runs, hides*
- Speaking of which, Zuko really reminds me of Vegeta. Only 90% less evil. (In fact, basically, he got kicked out of his family for not being evil enough. Hee!) I guess the parallels to Kaiba are even stronger, but Vegeta's the one I keep thinking of. And, yes, I seem to have fan-oriented on him like a little homing arrow. Sometimes I go for the obvious fancandy character, and sometimes I don't. This appears to be one of the times when I do.
- Which is not to say I don't love the others, because I do, so very much. I especially love how Sokka is the unpowered one of the group, but is just as cool, interesting and useful as the others. And I love Katara. And, well, everyone.
- The set design/worldbuilding/visuals ... OMG. *_* I'm just in artistic raptures from episode to episode. The creatures! (Pentapus! Platypus bear!) And the wonderfully rich, detailed cultures and settings -- not to mention the continuity, which is awesome; I love how characters and places are referenced repeatedly, rather than merely being one-offs. That was Zuko's sister in the flashback scene that appeared something like ten episodes before she actually showed up in the series, right? The creators are really paying attention, and it shows.
- Two words: FLYING. BISON. I still have not stopped giggling whenever we see Appa(?) in flight mode.
- My only actual complaint with the series thus far is COULD REALLY USE MOAR WOMEN, but that seems to be fixing itself even as we speak, and my one bitty spoiler for future episodes seems to speak to this need, as well. So that just leaves me with ...
- NEEEEEED MOOOOOOOR EPISODES NOOOOWWWWWW.
I really don't want spoilers, so I can't search for fanstuffs. Does anyone happen to have any recs of vids/art/fics that are pre-mid-season-two? To be honest, what I mostly want is vids -- I'm not that interested in other things, but I have been craving some vidding for this show. I don't dare go looking, though, because this is a show that I really don't want to be spoiled for. I would also love to add an icon or two (of Zuko, especially) but don't want to search for them. (The thought occurs to me that fandom could really use some kind of "rewind" feature when one is going through old fandoms, to locate interesting fanstuff without being spoiled! Right now, the only options are to wait until the end, when there is no more new canon to continue the obsession, or to risk serious spoilers. It would be nice to be able to indulge the obsession while it's in full flower, without ruining the fun by discovering that Character X dies in season four ...*)
*Purely hypothetical example, not to be taken seriously.
ETA:astridv, you would LOVE this show. You really, really would. It sends my inner artist into raptures of glee.
