We Have Toph for Live Action Avatar Show!
Remember the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender show from earlier this year? It was a huge hit, and will be coming back for two more seasons. I can barely remember that show, and I’m pretty sure I was lukewarm about it. But they have now cast actor Miya Cech as Toph Beifong, the Earthbender!
Toph is a great character, obviously, so hopefully Cech can bring even a fraction of her charisma from the cartoon into the live action show. I don’t know Cech’s work, but good for her landing this role in this hit show! I look forward to watching the show going forward.
I’m not sure when it will return, but the live action Airbender (and Earthbenders!) will be back on Netflix one of these days!

Live Action Last Airbender Still Looks Cool As Heck!
We got a full trailer for the Avatar: The Last Airbender TV show the other day and it still looks slick and cool as all get out. Netflix and the production company have gone all out with the visuals. They not only nailed the look from the original cartoon, but they’ve also enhanced everything in the live action conversion. See for yourself!
Personally, as visually appealing as that trailer is, I think it’s cut really badly. That joke where Aang crashes on his air zoomy and then Sokka makes a quip is bad. But maybe that’s on me. It’s still a cool trailer, and it shows off a lot of stuff from the show. So at the very least, the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender looks visually appealing. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of episodes and get through a lot of the first book.
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to Netflix on Feb. 22.

My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures of 2024
Happy New Year, everybody! Happy 2024! This year is going to be a good year for me. I’m losing weight. I’ve got some self-published comic book stuff coming up. My New Year’s Resolution is to finally master this banana bread recipe I’ve been dying to make, but kept putting off. And we’ve got…an acceptable amount of cool movies, TV shows and games coming up. Let’s talk about them.
Looking ahead, there isn’t much to be excited about in pop culture, to be honest. Not like last year, when we had a ton of great video games on the horizon, and a lot of movie potential. This year doesn’t have a whole lot. But I took a look around and have made a list anyway! There are some things I’m excited about and looking forward to, with my hopes up. So why not share?
Join me after the jump for six bits of pop culture I’m looking forward to in the new year. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams for the year ahead in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryLive Action Last Airbender Looks Fantastic!
I was as skeptical as anyone else when Netflix announced they were making a live action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It was tried once before to ill effect. And it’s going to be a massive undertaking. But hot damn, this first trailer looks great.
Everything looks so darn good! It looks big, it looks dramatic, all the characters look great. Will the show get into the really silly, cartoony stuff? I suppose we’ll find out. Maybe it’ll be just the dramatic stuff. Maybe it’ll just be a few episodes from the first first of the cartoon? I have no idea, I just know that things are looking really cool.
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to Netflix on Feb. 22.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is, Honestly, the Best Cartoon of All Time
So, Avatar: The Last Airbender came to Netflix a couple weeks ago and everybody is either discovering or re-discovering it’s awesomeness. I don’t have time to watch the whole series again — though I should probably make time — so I’m just going to settle for the new Honest Trailer.
Man, that really was a great show. I should make time to watch it again.
