Avatar: The Last Airbender - Omashu / Into the Dark

Shuffling around events of the original series a bit, “Omashu” and “Into the Dark” provide Aang‘s (Gordon Cormier) journey into the Earth Kingdom where Aang, Sokka (Ian Ousley), and Katara (Kiawentiio) disagree over how to help the city’s fight against the Fire Nation. Here we get Jet (Sebastian Amoruso) whose scruffy rebel act hides a darker purpose and the conflict of the Mechanist (Danny Pudi) attempting to keep his city safe from harsher attacks from Fire Benders. Adapting parts of four different episodes and mashing them together, not unsurprisingly, turns out to not work all that well.

Damsel

Damsel works better in concept than in execution. Millie Bobby Brown stars as Elodie, the smart and capable daughter Lord Bayford (Ray Winstone) in a remote region hit hard in recent years. The chance to save the kingdom comes in the form of a marriage proposal for Elodie from Prince Henry (Nick Robinson) and his family (Milo Twomey and Robin Wright) who rule over a realm for more rich than that of Elodie’s father. The family accepts the arranged marriage which goes off without a hitch at least until Elodie is thrown into a dragon’s lair as tribute to the creature that once ravaged these lands.
