>>125211509>Maizula is bad 'cause it's gaySo you are saying if it wasn't gay (ex. Azulon II and Mai) you would be ok with it?
>>125211509>Maiko is bad 'cause it's boring and lazy writtingMaiko is bad because Bryke didn't plan to authorize comics until Gene Yang and Darkhouse approached them and so they don't have the same planning/idea of an endgame that they had with the TV show. For example, The Legacy of The Fire Nation, despite being a scrapbook made when Zuko already had Izumi, doesn't talk about Mai, Ty Lee, or Azula despite arguably being some of the most important people in Zuko's life. And when asked about Azula's potrayal, the writer on twitter explained that he couldn't elaborate anything that wasn't in the TV show or comics, which means he couldn't talk about Izumi's mother, whether Maiko got back together, whether the Kyoshi Warriors stay long term in the Fire Nation (or if Ty Lee stays after they leave for home), or what Zuko did after finding out Azula's goal to turn him into Ozai 2.0 (ex. did he hunt down the Kemurikage? Are they still at large? Did Azula end up dying after a final fight? Etc.).
Bryke are just like George Lucas; good idea people/world builders/aesthetics focused who need good writers to make their plotting strong and maintain strong and consistent characterization. And it seems post-ATLA, they haven't been able to find someone (s) who could do that for them despite being the creators of a beloved IP (Aaron Eschaz is not the only person in the industry who could help them; For example, if they are going to write about Azula, I wish they consulted with R.K Kuang, who became an award winning novelist by essentially writing an Azula fic).
But what do I know, I am just a shitposter on 4chan...
