Tin Man (on Sci-fi)

[tg]

Anyone watching this? I think I can actually find some similarities between this show and Avatar.

So far, Tin Man does have a few script parts which feel a little weak, but overall, I think it's not so bad. A little cheesiness doesn't hurt. I actually like it. It's like a shoujo story with Oz.

The Avatar/Tin Man similarities:

1) Evil Sorceress = Fire Lord - both want world domination/power. They already have power but they want more.... She also knows how to be manipulative like Azula.

2) DG is like Aang, the hope for saving the world. Both characters make up their own small rebellion team.

3) The word "twinkletoes" is actually mentioned by Glitch. When I heard that, I instantly thought of Toph. Also, Glitch did some karate action on the guards which surprised me.

4) DG is on a quest to find her true mother much like Zuko would be looking for his own mom. Unlike Avatar though, we at least know where DG's mother is.

Edit: 5) Oh my gosh.. Eclipse! O.o What the... I swear now. Whoever made this loose adaptation of Tin Man was watching Avatar!

6) Wanted poster with the DG gang.

The tune of "two little princesses dancing in the woods" or something like that actually got stuck in my head.

As for Part 2 reactions:

The witch actually did shock me a little when she was looking at herself in the mirror in her bedroom. I mean, when her true self appeared. The other thing I can't quite fully comprehend would be how you would make holographic illusionary staircase for DG to be in in order to make her feel like she was actually going down the stairs. The outside tabe and chairs were the real aspects of the illusion.

Oh my god, it was like the day of DOUBLE black sun!

I loved this twist on The Wizard of Oz. Poor Glitch. Always being the comic relief for some parts. Like Sokka.

I saw the first part and recorded the second two to watch this weekend.

So far, I LOVE it. When I was seven, I was absolutely obsessed with The Wizard of Oz (which now I only watch for the entertainment purposes and the mistakes), and I love this new take on it.

The flying monkeybat things are AWESOME. Heck, all of the effects are great.

I'm enjoying all the twists that keep cropping up. I gotta try to watch part 3 today...

[tg]

After seeing Part 3 last night, the ending seemed kind of rushed. Also, it ends with

SPOILER: Click to show

DG, family, and friends all looking out over at the new good Oz

but we don't see what happens to everyone else. I think there was some good potential in Part 3, but, I understand that they have to fit everything into a less than two hour time constraint. I loved the "getting back Glitch's brain" part. Hahaha.

Something about the pacing is a bit weird. Overall, the series isn't perfect but it was good as it was. ^_^

You mean its already over? 0_0

[tg]

Yep, it's over. Tin Man was only three parts. It'll re-air this Sunday at 5/6 c. Edit: Sorry, not Saturday. Meant Sunday!

I think because it was only three parts for two hours each, they tried to jam pack everything in right up to the very end. If it was an actual tv series, I think it'll be easier to even out each event a bit more.

The night it premiered i was watching it, I saw when she went to the "Oh Zee" (O.Z.) lol but then she got captured by those flying things (Are those supposed to be the lollipop kids from the wizard of oz ? They were creepy, but i saw until she got captured and she was with glitch in there, and then the ppl came and then it went to commercial and i fell asleep, or maybe that was after I woke up...i know i turned it on, fell asleep, woke up, it was on again and watched more.

[tg]

^ Well, the lollipop kids were munchikins so yeah, they're O.Z.'s munchikins. ^_^ Haha. Now, I'm getting the "lollipop" song stuck in my head. Ahhh.

[Koikitten]

^_^ I finally got around to watching Part II. Very good, very unexpected.

Before they got to WHY Azkadelia (sp?) was evil, I thought, "It's AZULA! They even both start with the same sound! Bwahahaha!"
