In Defense of The Last Airbender

If it's one thing that both critics and fans of the beloved series can agree on, it's that M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" failed to deliver the goods. In fact, as far as sheer anger goes, this one really seems to take the cake. From name pronunciations to major character arc omissions, "The Last Airbender" is a fascinating cautionary tale on how NOT to approach an adaptation. So the question is, how do you defend a movie that the very creators of the source material hate and pretend doesn't exist? Come along on the journey as Aaron leads Dan through the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Is there anything worth admiring here? They have thoughts.

On this special episode, Dan and Aaron subvert the genre of their own podcast to talk about a show that famously subverts a genre! It's Amazon Studios' The Boys! So it's not a movie, and it's not terrible, so why are they talking about it? It's a jam-packed episode about the state of streaming services, identity, superhero fatigue, parody, and adaptation. They pick up where they left off on their characterization conversation in "In Defense of The Last Airbender" and dive deep into why this series speaks volumes about the current state of Hollywood.
Due to the nature of "The Boys" this episode has been rated Explicit in order to discuss some of its darker elements.
Also a correction from this episode: This series does indeed have a Rotten Tomatoes Score: 83% Critical, and 94% Audience.
