>>112154 >it has a different writer 90% of the television series wasn't written by Bryke, either. The "Showrunner" is in charge of keeping things consistent, establishing the rules of the show, and making sure that there's a single vision unifying the entire work, but they only rarely write individual episodes--usually season premieres, season finales, and major milestones in the plot or character arcs.
Television is a collaborative process--it is not a novel. Every indication is that Bryke was as involved in The Promise as they were in, say, The Boiling Rock--the first half of which was written by May Chan and the second half of which was written by Joshua Hamilton.
Actually, the only episodes of the series that at least one member of Bryke wrote the script for were: * The Pilot * 1x01: The Boy in the Iceberg * 1x02: The Avatar Returns * 1x03: The Southern Air Temple * 1x08: Avatar Roku * 1x13: The Blue Spirit * 1x18: The Waterbending Master * 2x6: The Blind Bandit * 2x13: The Serpent's Pass * 2x14: The Drill * 2x19: The Guru * 3x10: The Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion * 3x18: Sozin's Comet, Part 1: The Phoenix King * 3x20: Sozin's Comet, Part 3: Into the Inferno * 3x21: Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang
Meaning, together, they only wrote the scripts for 25% of the series. If you are defining The Promise as EU solely because the primary writer of the script wasn't Bryke, you're going to have to consider 75% of the TV series to be EU, as well.
