I don't think this one is gonna stick, just because it's not that serious. But she did step in it.

A lot of the replies are saying something about "asian made art" or whatever but both Raya and Avatar were not made by asian people. This all seems dumb.

Even if cancel culture was real, this isn't what it means. TC is pulling at strings to try to make a "oh no cancel culture" topic.

Reading Lindsay's further tweets, she was making a comment on Raya's narrative and setting structure and its resemblance to TLA.

People seem to take it as she means Raya is ripping off TLA in "being Asian".

Oh. I thought it was taken for granted that Last Dragon borrowed elements of Legend of Korra. When I first saw a clip of young Raya, I thought that show was receiving a 3D prequel.

Its twitter. Everything is racist. I could draw a line and people would complain that its not inclusive enough. Then if i made it a rainbow they would say im just pandering and stealing cultures.

I keep reading that it borrows from A:TLA, but what specifically does the movie borrow? Is it how magic works? The way the characters dress?

I'm guessing Namaari is like Zuko?

I've definitely noticed a trend in the last 5 years or so for a LOT of YA fiction to take "liberal" inspiration from A:TLA, in terms of plot, tone, characterization, etc., and frankly, it's fucking tiring.
I haven't read any YA in a very long time but can you share some examples of this?

That's the Nostalgia Chick? I didn't recognize her.

Funny that she would get flack for saying Raya and the Last Dragon borrowed from Avatar when Nostalgia Critic said the same thing.

The description for his video reads: Disney's latest princess movies adds some things old, some things new, some things borrowed, and some things blue.

His review specifies that it borrows some of the old Disney princess tropes as well as borrowing from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I wouldn't even go that far. It's a set of tropes that feed into the making of a genre. Whether it's good or not depends on the effort of the writers.

You sure about that?
I saw the original tweet and her follow up to it several hours later. In that context her words make more sense. Seeing just the two first tweets seems sloppier than is usual for her.

And honestly doing so much better for herself now that she's free of those guys.

PoundGarden posted...

She's a film and literary critic and has been doing her thing for well over a decade. I'm a fan of her videos. If you want to learn more, I suggest her series on the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies. Got her nominated for an award.

That's hilarious. And yeah, reading the synopsis for the movie, I can see how people would say it's similar.

And to answer the question of "why are people going after her and not Doug Walker or Honest Trailers" it's because people don't expect as much from those guys.

Every time I see the name, I always misread it as "Rayla", which makes me think of Dragon Prince, which makes me think of Last Airbender.

It was a poor choice of words to be sure, but I think the energys best saved for people who actually *are* saying racist shit.
