If you’re fed up with Netflix
This is especially to my fellow wlw, and only do this if it appeals to you. I’m not demanding anyone do anything before I get randos coming at me. If it’s not for you scroll on, simple as that.
I’m officially done with Netflix, Warrior Nun was the last chance I was giving them. It’s very clear what their platform is about, and it’s not worth trying to find joy on it because they won’t allow you to get immersed in anything with their quantity over quality model.
Rationally it’s unlikely we can “save a show” no matter how popular or how much noise is made, but if there’s even a sliver of a chance it has to be quick, because once a show is canceled good luck getting everyone who was under contract back in order to continue it. So the more time that goes by the less likely it will happen if there was even a chance to begin with.
In my opinion those change.org petitions seem useless, they’re easily ignored, but sign them if you want. Of course, continue making noise about the show on social media, it deserves the hype and if by some miracle a show is able to get picked up somewhere else, that buzz is needed to make that possible
The only effort I see worth it as a hail Mary is to put your money where your mouth is if you’re seriously as fed up as I am. If Netflix gets a sudden influx of cancelations and account deletions it'll be noticed.
So, if you want, do the following:
Cancel your Netflix membership and include Warrior Nun as a reason in the 'Other' option
2. Request Netflix delete your account and include Warrior Nun as a reason. Netflix will automatically delete accounts that are inactive for 10 weeks, but you can request they delete your account right away or after you current subscription is up. I decided to do this so notice would HAVE to be taken instead of my account slowly fading into obscurity. Follow the instructions here:
I couldn't find the option to delete by mobile so I followed the option to email.
Email
[email protected] and make sure to do the request from the email you used to sign up with Netflix. Under the ‘Keep reading’ I’ll include the email I wrote as an example for those who like something to go off of.
Dear Netflix team,
I have canceled my Netflix subscription today (December 13th, 2022) and have decided not to use Netflix anymore. I would like to request you immediately delete my account from your database along with all the data associated to it ahead of the 10-month cooldown period.
I've grown tired of this company canceling shows even if they've grown in viewership and buzz substantially. I can't trust my time or joy with this platform, and it's very clear that the business model is quantity over quality.
I've given chance after chance, and the final straw is the recent cancelation of Warrior Nun. The show exploded in popularity despite $0 in promotion spent on it and it being buried on Netflix to the point that a lot of fans waiting for the new season didn't even know the new season released. This platform didn't have to spend any extra money or effort on it. I really don't get the decision with the traction and hype it gained, and it being the type of show that could monetize off merchandise. I'm starting to think is was already canceled, which is why the amazing reception of season 2 didn't matter. Would also make sense why the show was buried and released quietly amongst the heavily promoted and established Netflix shows.
I've learned over and over again that I can't get excited or invested in anything on Netflix no matter how big something starts getting outside of the few heavily advertised darlings. The only way I can think of coming back to Netflix is if it's proven that it's worth it to invest enjoyment in Netflix shows. I get a show being cancelled if it has nothing going for it, but there have been too many occasions where something has viewership, hype, and an active big fandom that would normally have it renewed and that joy continuously gets ripped away for a new batch of nonsense to rinse and repeat.
I'm guessing that Warrior Nun wouldn't even be allowed to find a new home with its hype despite Netflix not being willing to continue it?
All in all, I'm just really tired and ready to move on.
Regards,
[Your Name Here]

Netflix's ATLA adaptation has:
Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara
Amber Midthunder as Yue
Joel Oulette as Hahn
Casey Camp-Horinek as Gran Gran
Rainbow Dickerson as Kya
A Martinez as Pakku
Irene Bedard as Yagoda
Nathaniel Arcand as Chief Arnook
But somehow, miraculously, we're supposed to believe they just couldn't find an Indigenous actor to play Sokka.
Bull fucking shit.

Is Blood of Zeus accurate with mythology? No. Did they change some of the gods' personalities and image to match their plot? Yeah. Do they represent the myths well? No.
Do I watch it and enjoy it because of the vibes and the amazing animation? Obviously!!
