https://ew.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-live-action-cover-story-what-to-expect-8551028 there is this article going around, in the telephone discourse way of the internet where it's people responding to a tweet summarizing a clickbait headline summarizing an article summarizing an article, and people are jumping on the part of it that mentions that they toned down sokka's sexism, and i was hoping reading the original article would give me a more sympathetic view of what was actually said
instead i got really irritated for a completely different reason, which is this article being insanely condescending about the original being a "mere kid's show" (direct quote) that's elevated and mature for being live action, and the showrunner and crew agreeing! i assume this article only didn't start with "bam whiff pow this isn't your dad's cartoon show anymore!" only because the writer couldn't think of a proper cliche
also very funny is the link "there are entire reddit threads" to a reddit thread with 29 upvotes and 15 comments, to support the idea that sokka was sexist in the original show... which would be the pinnacle of lazy entertainment journalism even if said reddit thread didn't specify "in the first few episodes" in the title.
