    You know I saw a commercial and I think that G4TV, or whatever its called these days, is gonna be broadcasting live from the Comic Con for the first time this year, like they usually do with E3. Of course even if they do this, they probably be able to cover everything there and also they just might skip over Avatar because one of the people hosting the show once said that she though that "Avatar the Last Airbender is so boring."??????...Along with calling Franklin a "Little Bear ripoff" and Kim Possible a tart.

    Yeah! Q&A with the cast. But notice it isn't with Zach Tyler Eisen. There is almost no talking with him. I mean, even Donbu Feng doesn't have info on him. Anyway, I'd love to go to ask questions to my pinoy boy Dante, but sadly I live on the other side of the USA in Virginia.

    *gasp* I actually might be able to go, as I live about an hour away from San Diego, and my friends said she was going to ask her mom if she could go because Butch Hartman (sp?) was going to be there, and she's a Danny Phantom fan. Maybe I will go...if I do, I'll be sure to let everyone know all that I find out!

    All people who are going are so fortunate. I don't know what the Comic Con is but it sounds interesting. And the reporter that said Avatar is boring must be brain dead. I mean, come on. Avatar. Boring?

    Hi, fellow Virginian!?? I, too, am sad that I cannot just pick up and fly across the country so I could scream and do the crazy-foaming-guy(girl) thing at Dante Basco (who IS actually somewhat near my age)!????

    *Remembers hubby* Oh....??

    She wasn't a reporter, it was Morgan Webb, co-host of the show X-play which is probably the only show on G4 that anyone should even consider watching. I don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything, but she is one of the smartest women on the planet. Unfortunately, show and her co-host, who-gives-a-crap-about-his-name, can be quite arrogant due to their I-know-everything-in-the-freakin-world-ness and very hard to please. And like all bad taste comedians, they feel it necessary to make fun of everyone and everything, save a few favorites. But the way I see it, if they know enough about the show to make fun of it, Avatar must be getting pretty popular in the world. ...Or they simple hate the anime nature of the show, did I mention that they hate anime? ??Particularly fans of Full Metal Alchemists, Yugiho (don't know how its spelled) and DBZ? That might have somthing to do with it too.

    Who cares what she thinks she can't rip apart a massive fanbase.

    There may be a possibility that Zach is lined up to promote "The Ant Bully". Isn't that being released this month too?

    Edit: Every time we see the commercial for The Ant Bully and hear his voice, the 9-year-old says "There's Aang!"

    Hehe, I'd have to agree with you on that. XD

    Though I like X-Play, and think it's cool that more gals are knowledgable gamers,
    I wish that X-Play, specifically Morgen Webb, wouldn't just insert their personal preferences and opinions to what makes an animated show have value.

    So guys, I guess this is fair warning to any loyal avatar fans not to spam or spew mindless hate mail to the X-Play message boards when they review/preview Avatar/the Avatar games. kay? It'll just make 'em poke more hate towards Avatar even more. XP
