    Would watch.

    But instead of unmasking the horrifying monster to be a regular person, Trek usually unmasks the regular person to be a horrible monster.

    Or else the horrible monster really is a monster, but WE are the horrifying ones.

      If it came out today, it’d be based on that one alien species that has the half white/half black face…

      …and the villain would be revealed to be the other one that you didn’t expect (the Ariannusian that gave Scooby & Shaggy a sandwich or whatever)

      And then universal or whomever owns everything at the moment would cancel it before it came out, for budget reasons or whatever

        Paramount/Skydance unholy merger. I believe they recently cancelled an Avatar: Airbender game and are planning to sell off the franchise because they don’t want to do kiddy stuff.

          I really don’t like all of these mergers, they are the death of creativity. I mean this next part in no defense to those intellectual leeches, also please don’t think I’m insulting your taste in animation… But Avatar is terrible. Again, no offense. It’s probably nostalgic to you, which I totally have as well… but not for Avatar. Mine are probably worse. I really enjoy “Thundarr The Barbarian” & “TOS Trek”…

          …but hot dang, Avatar is hard to watch after you’ve seen anything Shinchiro made. Or Ghibli. Trigun. Or Berserk. Or I can go on for hours. Avatar makes me sad. It’s very bland. Again, no offense. I like you though, regardless!

          I think, if you want to make a new Avatar for new children, it’s time to sit down in a comfortable space and question yourself “why am I not making something original?”
