>"No no, the Avatar isn't actually an embodiment of the will of the planet sent to keep the cosmic balance, he just the reincarnation of this retard who made friends with a stupid carpet ghost 10000 years ago!"

Lauren Faust was a fan of the original horsey time show.

The balance concept in Avatar was always retarded and poorly handled.

Raava/Vaatu contradicts shit that happens in ATLA because they obviously weren't conceived then.
>S1, Aang is trying to find the identity of the moon/ocean spirits who crossed into the human world a long ass time ago, Roku says the only spirit he knows old enough to know who they are is Koh, the face stealer
>Raava would absolutely be old enough because she was around when there was no split in the spirit/human world at all

>S2, Roku instructs Aang on the Avatar state, telling him that it's a combination of the powers/abilities of all the past lives
>Korra kills all the past lives (and Wan had none), but can still enter the Avatar State by bonding with Raava

>S3, Aang is lost and tries to contact the past lives for help. They all tell him he has to kill the Fire Lord, but then he later meets a Lion Turtle which teaches him the power to take bending away
>Wan and Raava would absolutely know about Lion Turtles and the concept of giving/taking away bending

Voltron.
Lance, Pidge, and maybe Shiro.

The 2nd point is easy to explain since raava is the direct source of the power for all the previous avatars in the first place. The other points are just them not giving a fuck.

When Roku explains the Avatar state he shows a montage of previous Avatars performing impressive feats of bending, with the very obvious visual implication that the Avatar state is taking the skills of the previous avatars and adding them on top of each other cumulatively.
There's no way to look at that and think "They must just all be tapping into an octopus that lives inside them"

But frankly the fact that it creates contradictions isn't really the point, the retcons and contradictions could be worth it if it added something of worth and was used to create something cool.
But Raava isn't cool, the Wan story does nothing to make the story better, all it does it remove all the mystique and mythology of the series and replace it with something dry and technical.
Raava existing does nothing except render the entire concept of the Avatar lame and mundane.

God, I hate this

Everybody thought that The Question acts like Rorschach because they read Watchmen and read that Rorschach was inspired by The Question, but they never read The Question.

When JLU comes around, The Question acts more like Rorschach than The Question.

Unironically, Sans Undertale

Porn artist here, for change of personality, this is a gradual thing and a lot of the time it evolves from just not knowing how the character would react in certain situations so that interpretation is the original contaminant. As for appearance, some characters are abstracted in an ugly way and I'm trying to jack it.

I'm very guilty, but in my defense, it was not intentional, and happened over time.
I've been drawing the character for such a long time, and every iteration gets just a bit sluttier. Commissions asking me to draw them in fetishistic situations don't help.
It's honestly kinda distressing to me, because the kind of stuff people expect and ask me to draw nowadays does not line up with canon at all, and I'm actually a big sucker for canon-accurate porn

I understand what you're saying and agree with you, user. It pisses me off too. Thank you for confirming my bias.

holy fucking based
I recall loving the sequel too

Horseytime related, but it's relevant to the topic:

MLP's Trixie was a once-off character that appeared in one of the earlier episodes. Her deal was that she combined real magic with stage magic to make it look like she could do anything, and was a huge boaster. So in fanon, she commonly got portrayed as ultra-lonely (because she was a jerk) with no confidence (because people like to think of braggarts as hiding insecurities) and who was constantly messing up (because after the first two, making her a full Woobie made sense) and who was basically the protagonist's rival (because, well, protagonist).

But she was also suuuuper popular, so the staff reintroduced her as a secondary character in a much later season. ...Where she was ultra-lonely, with no confidence, who somehow managed to REGRESS in magical ability, and basically her only driving force (until she makes a friend) was to get back at the protagonist.

>fans ship two female characters that have never met but also have shown attraction to males
>they become a couple and kiss in the las episode

The real reason for age up is to not get piles and piles of vitriol spewed at you by the normie who now outnumber the weirdos and freaks in fandoms.

Whoops, missed the word 'remade'. is more like

Maybe I'm just too old, but I've gotten tired of the usual smut drawn by porn artists. Especially how most western artists follow the same body type and most porn is just gonzo shit. The latter of which bothers me the most.

WHERE'S THE INTIMACY? THE KISSING AND THE NIBBLING? PUT A TONGUE IN SOMEONE'S EAR, OR A PECK ON THE NAPE OF THE NECK, GIVE ME FOREPLAY!

Gee user, I wonder why you're attracted to the pre-teen character, and need to "age them up". I mean, I would expect you to be attracted to the actual adult characters instead...

You want lesbian art. Ehryel was good for this before she started releasing one image every year.

Fuck Bryke

Why do you think Between Friends I so worshipped?

Ditko Question is really right wing, law & order, believes that crime is simply an individual choice and that trying to get to "root causes" is coddling criminals, etc. Pretty much, your cranky old uncle.

But he wasn't an unkempt, awkward, paranoid conspiracy theorist or anything.

>tfw i discovered the aged up versions first so im biased in favor of them
I curse you Herny, please draw more you dumb duck

Im angry that comics like that are the ecception rather than the rule in western smut.

Area is cool and all, but given how cartoon accurate the artwork for Between Friends is, I find it to be more cute than erotic. Still great work though.

Looking at Samurai Pizza Cats doujins drawn by Japanese fans back in the early 90s VS the stuff being drawn by Western furries nowadays, it's like night and day.

A single guy is responsible for like 75% of all the SPC stuff coming out nowadays, so it's kind of a case of artistic inbreeding

I've read fanfic where the characters were much, much better than they were in canon.
However, the canon wasn't particularly good to begin with.

>the Avatar isn't actually an embodiment of the will of the planet sent to keep the cosmic balance
This was never established. If you're going to whine about retcons, pick an actual retcon like psychic bloodbending.

>Raava would absolutely be old enough because she was around when there was no split in the spirit/human world at all
Roku likely didn't know about Raava, in Korra only Kuruk mentioned her by name.
>Wan and Raava would absolutely know about Lion Turtles and the concept of giving/taking away bending
It's harder to contact earlier past lives, Korra had to be put into a coma-like state in a special pool to get in touch with Wan.

Yep and if her didn't create it, it was made for him by fans.

lots of things, but one of the biggest being turning the concept of yin and yang into physical beings, and making them as good and evil respectively instead of just forces of nature as they should be

giving them voices and personalities are the biggest mistakes by far
