Jenny Jue, the casting director for Paramount’s upcoming animated film The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender admitted she cast the film due to woke ideology and DEI policies.This Substack is reader-supported.
Hey, is it possible to reverse-watch something so that it cosmically negates the metaphysical impact of it, removing at least a bit of its existence from the space-time continuum? I was already not going to watch this, but after reading Ms. Jue's comments, I don't think merely "not watching" is going to be enough.
Typical stupidity of those who believe they know better than the rest of us. The original series was fantastic. Well written, superbly drawn and animated and the voice actors were perfect. There is no reason to change anything about it. They tried to change it a bit with the dreadful Korra follow up, which was so bad my daughters and I quit watching after a few episodes. Tragic but typical of the so-called entertainment folks.
Well done them. Nice they resisted the urge to cast the show with the original cast and be brave and courageous instead. Not even overthrow a corrupt regime or get legislation changed. Far braver to recast the show for an audience that won't exist. Bravo.
"Explore" "push boundaries" "change the way people see" are (by now) cliche buzz-phrases of people engaging in social lecturing.
UGH.
Whenever I see the like in movies or games, I avoid it.
BryKe have always been woke - see Korra. This replacement of a talented cast is yet another disrespect to the original Avatar.
And don't even get a friend of mine started on what they did to his favorite, Avatar Kyoshi. DX

When you hire a feminist, expect less than satisfactory work
I just found the AMA ( 6 days later) and that comment thread is gone. She's an open racist.
