Iroh's Voice Actor Slams Paramount: 'Straight Up Evil,' Doesn't Care About Avatar

Greg Baldwin, the beloved voice of Uncle Iroh from *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, just unleashed a scathing attack on Paramount. He didn't mince words, declaring the studio "straight up evil" and asserting they "do not value the franchise." This is a significant claim from a veteran of the industry.
Fans know Baldwin best as the full-time voice of the wise Uncle Iroh in *ATLA*'s third season, a role he reprised in *The Legend of Korra*. His explosive comments follow a series of controversies plaguing the *Avatar* universe under Paramount's watch. The much-anticipated *Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender* film, initially slated for theaters, was shunted to streaming — only to reportedly leak online. Adding insult to injury, a new *ATLA* RPG was recently canceled, fueling fan frustration.
Baldwin, who spent thirty years as a paralegal observing studio executives, claims they are "slippery and clueless." He insists Paramount's "soulless bastards" hold "contempt for a show about grace and redemption." Baldwin's age (65) and belief that Nickelodeon won't rehire him gave him license for this "truth bomb," stating he speaks freely because his "pocketful of f*cks is seriously depleted."
“Paramount is straight up evil. I assure you. They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.”
Catzye Take
Baldwin's candid take resonates with a growing sentiment among fans regarding creative properties managed by large corporations. This isn't just about Avatar; it highlights broader concerns about corporate priorities versus creative integrity. Fans will be watching closely to see if Paramount responds or if this becomes another flashpoint in the ongoing debate over IP stewardship.
