So, someone did a thing. From the summery:
Avatar: The Last Airbender re imagined with thematically similar cultures of the Ancient Near East. Ancient Egypt is Water, Sumeria is Earth, Ancient Zoroastrian Iran is Fire, and the Air Nomads are Hittite priests.
Apparently, the original author is @valarhalla, and it appears they are a student studying the Ancient Near East, which explains why this fic is so mind blowingly awesome. and detailed. I mean, I’ve had similar ideas, but there’s no way I could ever do it justice.
I’m not sure if they intend to write more, but I’d love to see the Fire Nation court and shit.
Anyway, give it a read. It’s really awesome and well written.

Idk why but I feel compelled to say that the Lion King II is not as bad as many "Lion King Purist" make it out to be. Sure I understand that some roles have been recast and it ruins the "nostaliga" but for me that doesn't ruin the experience. I see it common to dismiss straight to DVD disney sequels as low quality cash grabs, and I get it, many of them clearly show it. But there's something different about this one, the quality in animation, the voice acting, the soundtrack, it's above other straight to DVD Disney movie sequels.
Lion king II was as much a part of my childhood as The Lion King. When LK1 came out I didn't see it. I was literally born that year. It wasn't until 1998 that I saw it, the same year LK2 came out. I had both of them and throughout my childhood I would watch both of them in a row. The soundtrack is burned into my mind.
And man that soundtrack. Lion King II's soundtrack is BANGERS yo! I'd say it's on par with the original Lion King's soundtrack but that's just my wild take.

Upendi is such a fun falling in love song, visuals are great, lyrics are cool
One of us is AMAZING like...y'all how can anyone hate this?
And Love will find a way gives me chills tbh. I'm a sucker for duets and this one its...idk I just love it so much
Just look at that animation. This is is not your 2nd rate cash-grab make-a-quick-buck movie animation. You can see and hear the love put in it.
Now I do not know the history or any hardships that the cast and animators went when making this movie, I'm just comparing the animation quality of this one to other Disney DVD sequels.
Guys, I don't know how to end this. I just felt like saying that Lion King II is great. No it's not better that The Lion King but that is no reason to dismiss it. If you haven't seen it give it a watch, enjoy the soundtrack.
