Essay Vibes

[edit]

On the THEMES section of this article, there's a little bit too much of justification that reads as a college student's essay. This is the one:

The show also represents a diverse cast of characters in order to tackle the issue of marginalization. For example, in introducing a blind character like Toph and a paraplegic boy like Teo, the show depicted characters with vulnerabilities overcoming their physical and societal limitations. This is also true when it comes to the show's female characters. For example, female protagonist Katara faces systemic sexism when she reaches the Northern Water Tribe to learn waterbending. In another instance, her brother Sokka is initially dismissive of the all-female Kyoshi Warriors, but learns to respect and appreciate their skills. According to Kirk Hamilton of Kotaku, these themes represent the show's message that it is more important to be oneself than hew to societal expectations.

There is no need to explain to the reader and give them an opinion on how or why the show did what it did and to point it out. Let the reader form their own opinion and the series watcher too. Naming them and their diversity is one thing, but defining how their impact was in a specific way its a bit patronizing, as if the watcher needed help forming that opinion.

Article title change suggestion

[edit]

Shouldn't this article title change from the current title to Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 TV series)? Just like One Piece (1999 TV series). 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 19:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Avatar: The Last AirbenderAvatar: The Last Airbender (animated series) – Both the animated series and the live action of 2024 are seeing very similar amounts of page views. This is despite the google search immediately taking you to this page, rather than the live action. 2 weeks ago both received around 150k views at their peak and both are now averaging around 25k. I think it would make more sense just to clarify that this is the animated series to make it easier for people to find the live action. Furthermore as the live action has now been renewed for both seasons 2 and 3, this will not be short lived problem, so it makes sense to fix it now, rather than down the line.

Oppose as proposed. "Animated Series" is not one of the options outlined in WP:NCTV. If disambiguation is needed, use the year - Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 TV series), similar to how Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024 TV series) does. Gonnym (talk) 07:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Side note: I think making Avatar: The Last Airbender (franchise) the main topic would make sense though. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd Support franchise at base name, and DAB the shows by year.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per wp:PT2 and wp:Recentisimblindlynx 14:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose strongly. Besides, calling it animated series in the title would NOT be in-line with Wikipedia rules, as other commenters have pointed out. Whereas, the above suggestion of a date change (in a discussion topic earlier on this talk page) by @User talk:98Tigerius would be in-line with Wikipedia rules. Also, the original series has a legacy and influence. The new series does not.Historyday01 (talk) 00:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
