>Show is almost eleven years old >Probably won't be

That would require Nick to put the effort into remastering something.

No wait, they'd probably just do a simple resize to 1080p from the SD masters.

It's not like the consumer will know the difference, right?

>>79024765
Does it really need one?

Hint: No.

We're talking about nick here not disney

Sorry but Avatar is pretty dead and the only hope for it to live on is in the comics.

The show was actually made in widescreen and cropped in the US and most countries though, maybe someday we'll see an hd uncropped release
(Not that it matters much though, it was made with 4:3 in mind so the rest of the footage is just background )

The just released a new DVD complete series package in December.

Eithet they cleaning out their inventory for a Blu Ray release to sell to everybody again or this was it and it's not happening.

Has anyone bought it on iTunes? Is the quality just 480p or HD?

How much fucking clear can fucking drawn lines get I don't understand this shit.

I'm legitimately wondering, I don't get this.

It can make a difference for details, but in Avatar's case the show was all digital and at 720p. They'd have to manually edit every frame to do a 1080p release.

Just compare Korra's visuals to Avatar's. Or resize a DVD screenshot to know how shit SD looks on today's screens.

>>79025653
Fuck off

>>79029084
I assume this show was drawn by hand, scanned to a computer, and then colored. I don't know how one would go about upscaling that, but it doesn't seem impossible to me.

>>79029516
Avatar was inked, colored, and composited digitally. Even if the original paper drawings still exist, it would be more effort to start over from the inking stage than to just trace over every frame of the 720p version.

>>79024765
The show was produced in SD.

It was produced digitally, i'm pretty sure it's tougher to "remaster" something digital since you can't just re-record the film negative at a higher resolution

>>79024765

Fuck no, that is an awful idea. It's good as it is, you massive faggot.

>Not wanting better clarity
Name one downside to a good remaster.
You can't because it's objectively better.

>>79029886
>name one downside to a good remaster
It's literally impossible if the show was created digitally with a specific resolution in mind.

If the backgrounds were originally done in higher resolutions, I could see animated portions being upscaled and looking pretty decent.

Of course, Nick wouldn't go through any of this effort.

>>79029886
Have you seen how some of the "remasters" actually turned out? Nah, no thanks. Plus, why fix something that was never broken?

Wait a sec!

That explains why you don't care about your "cartoons" resolution since what you watch is poorly looking garbage to begin with

>Resolution doesn't matter for cartoons

Fucking /co/mblr scum!

There are 720p fan-upscales available through torrent websites.
They look absolutely awful and are a clear case in favor of using original film elements when attempting an HD remastering of a show previously broadcast in SD.

>>79032072
Avatar was mastered on tape, nothing above 576P.

>>79032072

Why bother? If you're just blowing up a 480p video to 720p, aren't you just bloating your file size without any actual effect on quality? Doesn't my video player do the same thing when I play a video in fullscreen?

>>79024765
HD. SD. Whatever.
I wouldn't have minded a new DVD release if the quality was any good. Definition doesn't even come into it, ATLA home releases are blurry and artefacted as Hell and generally look like shit.

Approximately this clear, you clod. I bet you can't even notice the interlace aliasing in the pic you just posted.

Why are you comparing a decade old cartoon with a cartoon made recently?

I was comparing a clear 1080p cap to a shitty 720p TV-RAW. Even there the difference in line quality was drastic.
