Funny you mention that because I've heard A:TLA be described as "the pinnacle of Western animation" (a platitude also given to Batman: The Animated Series), and "one of the few anime inspired things from the mid 2000s that isn't absolute dogshit". As for "copying", IIRC Lindsay mentioned the generic aspects of fantasy it does, such as "chosen one", "world spanning epic", "controlling the elements", and "chosen one being able to control all the elements".As an Asian American myself, it's funny because Avatar is essentially a woke white take on anime that a lot of their US fans think anime should be. Lindsay is right, but she's dealing with a clearly culturally blind bunch of dipshits on her level who think Asians are white, and that anime should be clearly creatively directed by a market outside of Japan than actually doing their own shit, like starting up their own market/creative culture. Because you know, whining and mocking about it as a bunch of "tasteful anime nerds" is clearly a sign of culturalhegemonyintegration.
