For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.
IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.
Love The Last Airbender movie and people basically think I’m trolling when I share that. I’ve watched it multiple times, I love it, I like it better than the Netflix series even. One of my all time favorite movies.
Even taking the premise of this thread, I still think you’re trolling. I just can’t comprehend this point of view
My theory is that M Night Shyamalan was asked to make all three Avatar movies so he could make Split, but made it bad on purpose so he wouldn’t have to make the other two.
My evidence is him using a quarry as a prison for the earthbenders.
