Aviendha, I guess? Gotta keep the ginger genocide going onwards.

Can't be worse than the movie.

The "Cain's Ouroboros" link just goes back to that same SA thread.

So Snowpiercer endorses communist revolution ... by portraying communism as literally destroying all of humanity. Massive self-own there.

Speaking of RPG settings, there's this: https://evilhat.itch.io/red-planet-a-world-of-adventure-for-fate-core i.e. "you play as Martian communists, only they call it 'progressive materialism', i.e. communism except it works in some inexplicable way".

Not to mention the general contempt they treated all humans with back when the portals were open, to the point almost all the planet was completely uninhabitable for them because the spirits made the environment so hostile.

It's like that "Witch" horror movie. "What if witches as conceived by the Puritans were real and really did all the horrible things that were ascribed to them ... but they were actually good because GIRL POWER!".

The "bad guys" can do that too. You also have to actually develop your understanding of the aspects of reality you want to influence and your ability to influence it - it's not Calvinball, this is an RPG after all (you're describing a Correspondence/Life or Prime conjunctional attack spell...

You should also note that canonically the Traditions' goal isn't to "bring back the good old days" but to create some kind of utopia where everybody's Paradigms intermingle and Paradox doesn't exist (basically, where everything is true, even those things that contradict each other).

The hilarious thing is that Werewolf has its own cosmology which is basically a bunch of Captain Planet nonsense. And Vampire's lore is basically Bible fanfic. They tried to tie it all together by saying that Avatars are the "image of God" mentioned in Genesis and that werewolves were created by...

The Traditions, at least as originally conceived, are basically a bunch of hippie stereotypes fighting "The Man" as personified in the Technocracy. You have your kung-fu masters, l33t h4xx0rs, your shamans and neopagans, your free-love druggies, and not only one but two "Goth" factions who are...

What it is seems to be a mix of progressive anti-Christianity and possible French anti-Englishness.

"Without going into lots of detail, it's hit the familiar Hollywood iceberg (the one which would've set Good Omens in Indiana without the Four Horsemen). People suddenly grow an extra head and say things like "we have to make this relevant to the American teenager". And it's at times like this I...

They made her an action heroine too, which is especially odd when there's already a character who fits in that mould - Angua, the werewolf girl. Uugh. And is that a dragon being used as a pistol? What's with all the modern trappings - I swear one of the interior sets looked just like some...

The fundamental issue is that the spirits dominating the mortal world is stated to be an unnatural state of affairs brought about by the evil Vaatu - hence why Wan had to deport them even after sealing away Vaatu, to correct the imbalance. As we see in ATLA, the normal state of spirits is to...

See Perfect Dark for another example.

I mean, they literally made an RPG setting where anarchism is the perfect ideology and they get to be a major player and a threat to much more organised and capable powers, played off against EEEEVIL corporations and EEEVIL caricatures of the GOP/Catholic church. What do you expect?

"Everybody has a unique special power" and "in-universe justification for OTT action movie/wuxia shenanigans" aren't that original at all.

They're not even looking at each other ...

That art ... it's just plain weird. Not even tomboyish or "butch" ... proportions are all wrong.
