I was thinking about jumping into TDP, but after reading this, nope. Fuck this guy and his company.
with actual representation that doesn't feel token or vagueIf you guys are looking for a good animated show on Netflix with strong, fun characters that isn't written by a toxic manchild may I suggest...........She-Ra and the Princesses of Power?

This thread is getting a serious lack of traffic considering how popular avatar is
Hopefully they keep him on a very tight leash with the Netflix live action remake. Heck, hopefully they even fire him. They're both involved, right?
Oh, good. I remember hearing the original creators were involved to some degree.
the original creators are involved: Michael DiMartino and Bryan Koneizto (sorry for butchering your name Bryan lol) are acting as showrunners. Aaron Ehasz was the "head writer" for Atla which basically meant he led the writers room on the show. He's had no involvement in the franchise outside of this role with the original series.Oh, good.

Yeah well I figured google exists and I could save others the trouble. I was a fan, but I'm not so much of a fan that I remembered who was and wasn't a creator, ahahathe original creators are involved: Michael DiMartino and Bryan Koneizto (sorry for butchering your name Bryan lol) are acting as showrunners.

EDIT: ah you beat me lol
Wait what's token and vague about the representation in TDP? The show is literally entirely about racism.
I mean if you just look at what She-Ra and Steven Universe its pretty clear. TDP has a gay couple who were parents of a side character who are already dead when the show begins.
Revealing the backstory of a character isn't fridging. That's by definition not what fridging means in a narrative or why it was criticized. That character's parents also aren't the only gay characters in TDP. TDP, SU, and She-Ra are all positive examples of representation in media. Where there doesn't have to be a lore reason for the show's universe to be diverse. They just are because of the people behind those shows.I mean if you just look at what She-Ra and Steven Universe its pretty clear.

She-Ra and SU don't tokenify their representation and don't fridge them either.
The same show whos creator actively stifles the feedback of their female, queer, and POC employees and gaslights them? Not sure I agree with you in regards to TDP.Revealing the backstory of a character isn't fridging. That's by definition not what fridging means in a narrative or why it was criticized.

I mean, I like avatar but really don't give a shit about it in the scheme of things. I don't comment on stuff like this anymore because it's just exhausting. The guy is clearly a shitty people manager running a shitty work environment. Not much else to say though.This thread is getting a serious lack of traffic considering how popular avatar is

Not to mention the women who are saying this about Aaron say there's only one woman left in their creative team. Not sure that I feel like the representation in the show feels that honest anymore.
ATLA doesn't really have anything to do with this. It's just a job that Aaron Ehasz worked on at a high level, and he gets mentioned a lot in ATLA threads because he contributed a lot to that show, and his contributions were missed in the sequel (Korra). Aaron was also a Story Editor on Futurama, but that doesn't mean that Futurama is particularly worth mentioning. Aaron might be a bad company manager, but he wasn't managing a company before Wonderstorm/The Dragon Prince.If the title was changed to mention Ehasz and ATLA maybe this would get more attention
Yo maybe not a good idea to make your own narrative.
Huh? They are just summarizing what's contained in the Twitter threads. Seems like a pretty accurate summation of the available info.
I think it would be better to link the original threads...Huh? They are just summarizing what's contained in the Twitter threads. Seems like a pretty accurate summation of the available info.
Those are literally linked in the OP for everyone to see.
Fair enough.They are linked in the thread and they're a damn mess to follow, because Twitter is a bad website.
The summary is helpful, unless you wanna point out some specific flaw in it?
You're stirring shit for no reason. That summary is the least biased version and summary of events someone could make. They literally just explained everyone's roles and what each person claimed. Stop this stupidity.
What did he do to the fandom?Big fucking shocker, Ehasz has always struck me as a massive narcisstic douche especially after the weird strife-inducing nonsense he put the ATLA fandom through the last several years.
Wait, what happened with this?

I mean that's not true if you only watch the first few episodes of either show. By season 3 She Ra isn't the "kid show" you think it is. Just like SU is different after 50 episodes or so.It's too little kiddish for me. I want to like it but I feel like I'm watching a show for 10 ear olds. Steven Universe was better about this.
