The Woke Atrocities of Netflix's Avatar

- Опубліковано 6 бер 2024
- In an effort to make women more epic and awesome to inspire female humans or something Netflix made a live action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender (a show with amazing female characters in katara, toph, azula etc) and managed to turn this wonderfully complex characters into the awful captain marvel style strong woman don't need no man hear me roar archetype and its a tragedy... thanks @master_samwise for covering this atrocity in depth...

One of the most memorable scenes for me was when Sokka said every single time I try to remember my mother‘s face I think of Katara. she put so much effort in filling that role for him that he healed a lot quicker before she could. She had to go on a whole ark, with Zuko finding the man who murdered her mother.
Damn I never thought of it that way. It's been a minute since I rewatched, but live action made me want to. I've been a fan since the original airing of the show lol
I'm happy that it's a great show to many people. Zuko's arc hits different as an adult.
Damn! You’re making sense!!
"You didn't love her like I did" OOF. Right in the feels.
Also how she did not forgive him, he just said the right things accidently telling her how her mother, sacrificed herself for her, and she having pity on that dude.
22:18 And even then she had her flaws. Remember the episode about the Water Tribe Scroll? Her selfishness put her friends and herself in danger. But she admitted her mistake and apologized for her actions.
Or her envy about Aang having less trouble learning water bending
was just another layer to her character imo... i liked that they didn't make her a complete saint in the original and let her act her age every now and then
Or his airhead nature, which in the end hurt her, but unlocked her healing powers.
@@Force3vo Nux mentions it
But it lead to the pirates later getting hired by Zhao to kill zuko
I just got a thought: PLEASE don’t make her bloodbend look like something badass. That would be SO MUCH against the point that scene makes!
did you see how badass they made the air nomad genocide? of course they will miss the point
Or! They'll just skip the bloodbending. Can't risk giving a female character any moral nuance.
@@sylvirgiomanach1491 this is still something I don't get. why would bloodbending be so evil, since it can quite easily safely restrain someone. Sure, harmless freezing is in play but realistically being (basically) telekinetically held in place is miles less dangerous than having water frozen on your skin.
@chukyuniqul I think its more to how its animated and sound effects. It looks painful and sounds painful. To one, lose control over ur own body, and two, how it twists and pulls and makes it feel like no one would want to be in that position. Could probably fracture bones, make blood pop out of their eyes, etc if it wasn't a kids show.
@@TheUnseenFuture i mean that makes sense, especially since I never really found odd positions in people to be unsettling.
heres a little cheat I've noticed when it comes to remakes, if anyone in the cast says "its been updated for modern audiences" or anything close to that, its gonna suck ass.
and even if its not a remake: If they are like "This is the first person that is X in (Limited qualifiers) to ever be ever in a movie (of limited qualifiers)" Its going to suck as well.

@@daniboy4153 wokeness, essentially an illusion of goodness that they did something good and new that has never ever been done before. For a lot of people it fools them enough.
Whenever they go on and on about how "diverse" it is and other stuff, i'm convinced it's because they know they made a giant turd and are preparing to blame the inevitable failure on the istaphobes.

@@somedude077 Alabama took the hit so that New York could get away with it.
So I just ran some calcs and the netflix show actually has about 20 more minutes of runtime to tell the story lol
I feel like people are just conditioned to believe that excuse because we used to get 600+ page books condensed into
One of the parts where we see Katara's hard work is in the northen water tribe where she challenged the master and of course. Lost, because he has decades of experience and she is a 14 year old who taught herself how to waterbend. However after time training she became his best student because of hard work
Forgot the part where he let her train waterbending after he found out her grandma is the woman he loved.
At first Toph was supposed to be a male character but they decided to change the gender and nothing else. She still maintained all the personality traits that they assigned to a would be male but at the last minute they just decided to make her female. First they made a good character and then decided to make her female. Instead of making strong female characters they should make strong characters that happen to be female.
Same thing with riplay in alien.
I disagree on "nothing else"
I remember a few convos and such where Toph's femininity and self image was talked about, and that made her more than just a tomboy that wanted to rebel against her parents.
@@denkerbosu3551 This makes me scared of what they might try to with Toph if they continue the Netflix show. What if they make her Aang's new love interest and change her in a way that'll make her what they believe will "fit that role"?
@@resdent2922 why are you scared, lmao. the avaflix (netvatar?) won't displace the OG in pop culture, and it had no chance of being good therefore you have no stock in it being good, THEREFORE failure loses you nothing but does give you the chance of seeing a spectaculously bad failure which is entertaining.
"It's not about writing a good female character, it's about writing a good character that happens to be a woman."
- Me
As a woman, especially one who grew up with the masterpiece of Avatar, I refuse to watch the Netflix version. They told everyone that they were removing Sokka's sexism, a key element that he learns to move past, I knew they would 100% mess every character up. I knew that Katara and Toph would get the worst of it. Especially Katara. Femininity is so integral to her character. She's the mom of the group. She takes care of them, mends their clothes, is a person to cry and vent to, all while being strong in her own right.
“But we can’t have that kind of traditional feminism in our story! That’ll completely go against the tough girlboss trope we’re trying to force her into!”
These clowns seriously think they can just force to women to be men and it’ll all be ok. That’s not how women work. Katara is so iconic because she maintains her natural womanly attributes whilst being a fighter, ya know not in spite of them like so many woke writers try to do.
Yup. The minute I heard that I was like God Dammit not again! I knew then they were going to "modernize" the characters. Meaning they would change them so hard that they would ruin what made the original so great. N THEN I read they wanted to appeal to GoT fans n I was like WHY
@@LoneSilverW0lf It's so frustrating. Feminine women aren't weak. They don't have to be "girl bosses" to be powerful. You can be a kind and caring person and also be bad ass. The original Katara did such a good job balancing her role as group mom and as a bad bitch who would absolutely drop you on your ass.
it's like Hypermasculinity but for women
@@StupidCatLady Yeah, with her mom-energy, she helped keep the group in line at times. She basically had the curse of being forced to behave like a parent before she even became an adult. It makes her a rather interesting character, beyond her powers - which... I heard they made her a "self-taught girl boss" and I instantly lost all interest in the show. That's saying a lot, especially with how I love her well-earned boss moments in the OG show: finding the man who axed her mother and the bloodbending episode - both very dark but really good episodes that tested her character. She might not be one of my favorites, but she's still top-tier.
Though with all this talk, it reminds me that, personally, as a guy, I wasn't into effeminate girls for a long while. But the older I get, the more that changes, and the more I appreciate that kind of woman, especially mothers.
“My mom was the fighter in our family”, so meanwhile dad is off to war doing nothing apparently.
I'm so glad I dropped the live action series at episode 3. 😭😭😭 What a shame...
The saddest part about the write constantly pushing Katara up as a warrior is that it completely misses her true nature. Yes she was a skilled fighter, but above all else, she was a HEALER before she was a fighter. She was always more concerned with protecting those around her than fighting her enemies.
Sokka was her other side of the coin or at least I always viewed it that way. He dove headlong into the fight, a sword. She protected his back and getting any non combatants to safety were priority, the shield. It was as complimentary a dichotomy as, and was complimentary to, their brother/sister relationship. The og was one of the best written sibling relationships ever.
@@eatonknass247if the OG were made today you would literally be bitching about how woke it is shut up
@Yaboi00000 you seem to equate a dislike of bad storytelling for a dislike of...something? I literally only talked about my takeaway from character dynamics in a show I've watched several times since I was watching it every week with my sister. There's a reason their character dynamics, the individual arcs, and the story wrapping it all together mean so much to me. Go cry your wannabe political tripe elsewhere. If you wanna talk storytelling, we can talk storytelling. We can talk how the removal of character aspects from either character drastically impacts the story and irreparably damages later arcs. Or you can type "lul y u mad", pat yourself on the back for your imaginary win, and go about being stupid in places where you're someone else's problem.
@@eatonknass247 AVATAR IS INHERENTLY FUCKING POLITICAL
@Yaboi00000 Wow, such big letters for such a nonsense sentence. Please, do tell, how is it "inherently political"? Is this an inability to separate a story with politics in it and a "inherently political" story? What political messaging is inherent and obvious to anyone, besides yourself, in the story? You're getting awfully worked up over an IP you seem to either not have watched or have not understood. The latter would make this stupid sentence a reflection of your own biases being imparted on a show without those biases. The former would make the stupid sentence a mere parroting of people who somehow manage to activate a few more neurons than yourself while still not understanding the show or understanding and then twisting it to fit into their bias. You weirdos should really stay on Twitter and tf away from my hobbies.
Katara becoming more motherly after her mother’s death is what lead to the heart to heart between toph and sokka on book 3. Man said he can’t remember what his mom looked like and when he tries to, it’s katara’s face that he sees
Another interesting trait of Katara in the original show, that made her more of a stronger character, was that she was susceptible to turning to the other extreme of overly compassionate on the spectrum: hateful wrath. Revenge. In the episode where Katara and Zuko hunt down the firebender that took her mother, she uses blood bending quite often. To interrogate somone, to torture the man that stole away her mom. She saw the man as the sole reason her family became so broken. She’d even stopped the rain during that confrontation. Even Zuko was shocked when he witnessed her use blood bending. It was probably the first time he’d seen it, and the hateful expression on Katara’s face, may have only amplified the shock and dread Zuko felt then. But, though he spared him, because his life ended up so pathetic and empty, she still didn’t forgive him. Not everyone deserves to be saved, or redeemed. Not everyone deserves forgiveness. But, Katara did finally reconcile with Zuko, realizing the anger she felt for him, the *hate* was misplaced. In the moment she’d almost killed that firebender, you got the vibe, that Katara would’ve flooded the Fire Nation in the sea if she’d had the chance.
I think she probably spared the guy because his life was a far more miserable fate then Death could be.
@@grizzlymelon8376the commenter already mentioned that the firebender is already in a miserable life.
why Toph is so masculine is for 2 reasons her strong-willed personality as well as that's just who she is and her overbearing parents especially her mother who gave her a bad perception of femininity as she cared about her as her noble daughter instead of her as her daughter and so she acted the exact opposite of what was expected of her in in an extreme way when joining team avatar, to see Katara and toph who butted heads as polar opposites to becoming good friends is phenomenal and good writing when they got there, to have an understanding as well as Katara showing a good representation and role model of femininity was just amazing, to see Toph who was constantly offended by acts of kindness and concerns towards her to accepting and appreciating it as she realize it's not because they view her as weak and helpless but because they actually care about her ( all thanks to Iroh's advice, insight, and wisdom)
I would argue it's also about her being a top tier earthbender, as earthbending is basically the art of being more unyielding than literal rocks.
Toph was also originally supposed to be a boy , the writers decided to make her a girl at the last minute to sort of even the gaang while still keeping all the “boy traits” it fits perfectly because the character is well written being a boy or girl doesn’t change a thing
I'm gonna disagree with you on the painted lady episode, katara's compassion was extremely important. It was very important that Katara kept everyone from forgetting that the people of the fire nation are people and helping the people right in front of you is just as if not more important than the big picture actions, the very sentiment fire lord sozen forgot and lead to the 100 year war and the bulk of the world's suffering since then.
I think it was more to do with the fact that she tricked everyone into staying by making it appear as though Appa was sick.
Honestly shows need to stop writing them like this cause they’re female, just write them as a human being, said the advocate of true gender equality
facts, the best way to write a female character is to write a character, then make them female
@@GensChilledColaand if want feminity don’t treat it without nuance
@@ChimeraLotietheBunny 🗣
@@GensChilledCola Not really, most of the failed women in media nowadays were characters made this way: Make a Strong Character (Gender not assined) -> Make it Woman
A character is only really good when everyrhing is built already in the foundation. Sure, some characters can work that way, Toph herself being a woman was last minute, but they never stripped her of feminine qualities, she just had less of them
Honestly it’s interesting. Because I’m all for progressive shit, I hate people that use “woke” as an excuse to rag on progressives of all kinds. But then there’s also this. I remember there was someone reviewing Ben shapiro’s movie or whatever, I can’t remember, but I think they said something like “it doesn’t matter what it is. If it has a coorperate agenda, it’s slop.”
Which I think makes sense. Lgbt characters and themes are fine, like Nimona was pretty great, and PB and Marcy had a great relationship, etc, etc. It’s mostly corporate shilling, or agendas behind the producers, that make things flop. I think
Avatar has run the full spectrum of quality. They've got the best adaptation (the anime), the worst (shamalamadingdong's), and now completely forgettable mid (Netflix)
But the anime isn't an adaptation, it's just the source material.
@@kyletucker3811 fair enough... The term was more used as a blanket term. If I wanted to be pedantic: you could say it's an adaptation of the creators imaginations
Don't forget the mid at best sequel.
@@glitchmenlord4790Someday they might do LA and a Movie of Korra, so we stay with this chart for now
"These 2 dimentional characters aren't complex and don't speak to modern audiences,
So we made them more complex by focusing on a singular aspect to make them 1 Dimentional characters instead!"
Aside from how this is just more examples of people who shouldn't be working where they are, is this also a diss on their "intended target audience"? 🤔
Their intended audience couldn't handle a character with the flaw of thinking less of women, despite him being humbled numerous times and eventually shedding that flaw. They want perfect, flawless women who can do no wrong and glue huffing idiots that happen to have dicks.
Did they say that?! 2 dimensional is not a word I would have ever associated with the animated show
@@melrenee5416 No, but cartoons are, in fact, a two dimensional medium, so I guess they're going off from that. I'll take it, though, it's funny.
Katara probably would solo Azula at the end while Zuko watches hopelessly.
He did take lightning and improperly redirected it to save katara rendering him paralyzed for the rest of the fight
And I just realized you meant the live action version
@@bruticus1496 👍
O God, just seeing what they did to Katara makes me terrified of what they're going to do to my girl Toph! 😱😱
Hmmm...... Just speculation, our original Toph, she is masculine but still retains he feminine side, just hiding it and she is kind of feel ashame of it since she feels quite weak to show her feminine side (if it's ok if I put it that way) let's say the netflix one, she will be very feminine, but her masculine side is very hidden and she as she is being hounded by her oppressive father or family. Let's go with that.
Sorry if I somehow made you upset.
They ruined her and Sokka.
They ruined every character
Yup
Yue was the worst imo
Sweet home southern water tribe😂
@@bruticus1496water tri-
nah no, just don't.
Another thing to consider is that the reason Kitara is / was written as a water bender is that in most mythologies water is the element of emotionality, compassion, and healing. By taking those things away from her--essentially her idealism and purity of nature--they have even managed to shortcharge the thematic reasons she is written as a water bender in the first place.
This isn't The Last Airbender. This is Legend of Katara.
Zuko's scar is WAY too small in the live action. I'm not even sure how Ozi blasted such a small stream of fire.
Its a cool idea but they forget that even fire benders fear fire cause it was uncontrollable aka jong jong
Yea when I saw that small clip I was wtf? That's not a BAD burn scar? Zukos scar went all the way back to his ear n covered almost 1 whole side of his face
I swear Netflix seems unable to write a mid female character in their shows.
They will either be God tier like in Blue Eyed Samurai or dogshit like in Avatar.

@@kit_ts6087jolyne was written before netflix ever existed bruh
@@er7776 fair lol
My prediction for the next 2 seasons is that toph will already be a master metal bender when we meet her and katara will defeat azula with talk no jutsu then she will join them because it was her dad that mistreated her and the 3 women will team up with aang to fight ozai but aang gets 1 shot and katara takes away the fire lords bending with her blood bending
More like, "oh hey, I didn't know I could do this. Now I can"
@@marlinmurrell620they totally would just skip over the badass old lady and katara would just figure it out, and would say some shit line like "well humans are 70% water so it's only natural"
@@dmturtle2109ong i could totally see this one. I bet you they also do a "hey guys watch this" katara bloodbends and afterwards gets a praise from everyone from leveling up with this badass power
My guess its they will just cancel this show
@@Pherim_ It's already been approved for seasons 2 and 3
Actress playing Katara in book 4, "I'M FULL OF SO MUCH HOPE!" That was better than the live action.
I'd watch that whole play than this stupid live action.
That was in book 3.
The reaction of the original Avatar gang to the stage play was so on point to this live-action "Awful, but the effects are good tho" 😂😂
Those all this issue also explains why the Original Writers walked off because of Netflix Bullcrap.
Katara’s whole character arc is a reaction to Sokka’s outlook on females, that’s literally how the series even starts… she gets angered by Sokka’s taunts and ends up breaking the ice and freeing Aang.
Now, the boat did it😂😂😂
Without Katara’s emotional reactions to situations, she cannot grow. That’s literally her whole character. But now, she’s just “strong” and doesn’t need to face any emotional obstacles whatsoever lol.
Speaking of Aang, bro went from “can you go penguin sliding with me?!” As his first words to, “I’m serious, no fun muuuuh” 😂😂😂
I will NEVER watch this live action, even if the seasons 2 and 3 fix all the issues, I’d much rather rewatch the animated books a million times over. Honestly, they should’ve just remade the animation with 4K quality and better animation with extended fights here and there, instead of this one… but even that would probably try to “fix” the “problems” the old animated series had, so I’d rather they don’t even touch it.
The fact that Gyatso didnt just obliterate a room full of unsuspecting firebenders was a terrible discervice to the whole point of what showing the genocide was supposed to apparently acomplish, instead he goes down in blaze of dishonour.
the background music is too loud 🤔
48:45 I really have come to enjoy the trope of "Bigotry and negative perceptions of others hurts the people who _express_ it, as well as the victimized group". Probably why I like the real _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ so much.
It shows multiple times that hating others or looking down on them or doing horrible things to others, hurts the enemy side as well as the victim side. In a war, in a bad culture, _nobody_ really wins.
34:10 I am SO HAPPY to hear someone PRAISE that rather than spit on it. Thank you so much for saying that *Nux* from the bottom of my heart.
Thematicely it's a cool resolution, but narratively it's a deus ex machina.
these videos just make me wanna go back and rewatch the original avatar, i don't even wanna bother watching the netflix one
I for one am happy Nux has background music as loud as he is when speaking. Not distracting at all.
is the bgm a bit too loud or am i just too sleep deprived to actually parxe his words
Yeah balance is a bit off, he may have some sort of auto mixing that makes the loudest part of his voice more balanced and it caused everything else to be low
22:03 confirmed
Yeah i was annoyed about half way through. Way too loud.
God damn, I really ant to watch this but I can't bear the BGM playing 3 times louder than your voice...
28:06-28:43 Wait... So... Are you telling me that they chatted about Katara's past, Jet told her about using her good memories and that advice helped? Oh my god... Does that scene ring any bells? Because for me it does. The Satellite scene from "X-men: The First Class". Showrunners just copied it without understanding what makes that scene work...

Good feminism: You are a person first, a woman second, and like any person, you can be great, or you can be bad. Your flaws and your virtues are all a part of who you are, and everyone should be able to see you for _who_ you are, and there's nothing wrong with being that person and wanting to be treated as one. Being a woman does not supersede _who_ you are. You define what being a woman is for _you_

I am so glad i completely dropped Netflix
Can we freaking just get the og writers back and WRITING the damn show??? The fact that all these adaptations are getting screwed over bc the og creators aren’t part in it or leaving says a LOT
They were, but Netflix refuse to budge on what they wanted, and the Creators inputs were not being accepted, so they dipped to not stain their name with this shit
Jesus, the background music when nux talks is so loud.
Music a bit too loud sometimes in the video. Kinda hard to hear the voice when Nux speaks
Does anyone else think, that Netflix Katara was based more off the Ember Island Players episode?
When the creator of the show WALKS away cause of creative differences, you know the show ISN'T worth watching.
She didn't go from 2D to 3D, she went from 2D to 1D
Head cannon, Netflix is actually the ember island players.
In the Netflix version, they are not allowed to fail... THUS, they have no character growth to care about...
Seen the whole show. The only thing they kept from the original is the cabbage guy.
7:50
I also feel like mentioning she could’ve left for home as soon as “I’ll make a man out of you.” We she was failing the training she was given the opportunity to leave but she stayed because her pride, she didn’t want the easy way out. She wanted to do her family and home proud.
Music tad loud 😢
I once read a theory that tried to explain how that tradition came to be. It posited that during early wars where both genders fought alongside each other the tribe noticed that families with two benders where at risk of losing both parents, leading them to ban having both parents of a household in conbat roles.
The genders then gravitated towards a slightly skewed split in roles which over time and with parental reinforcement over generations evlolved into the tradition as it was during ATLA.
the music was too loud this video. turn it down please
Katara became a renowned and influential healer in the cartoons. She taught entire generations the art of advanced water healing that had almost become lost. Going even beyond her initial traits.
Hey Nux, awesome vid. Just wanna tell you that the music is far too loud for my taste and you should maybe lower it a little bit. Would like that
The funniest part of all this, is that there's a whole thing in Atla where the gaangs tale us told horribly.
Lemme get a good look at you: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG.
I think you misspelled *_PEAK_*
1. I love that Toph enjoyed her play counterpart. It’s the aspect of her personality that she wished other people acknowledged (especially her parents).
2. The creators of the show originally planned a muscle head boy for Toph, but thought it would be more entertaining for that character archetype to be a little girl instead. Best decision they ever made.
3. Considering that they had to ask a bunch of people to make that play in their world, I love the idea that they depicted Toph as this massive brute because the people they asked refused to acknowledge they were beaten up by a little girl to save face.
Captain Marvel was never a bad character; there's this double standard where a woman displaying brashness and confidence is somehow a bitch where if a guy does it he's bad.
Katara and Toph if they came out today, would be dismissed as "mary sues" and "woke." You only like them because you grew up with them.
One other aspect of Katara's character arc when it comes to her bending that the live action removed entirely and that never really gets mentioned: one of her motivations for wanting to be a water-bender (though certainly not the biggest) was the fact that she was preserving a part of the culture of the Southern Water Tribe. She's the last of her kind. She's the only water bender of the Southern tribe still alive (at least until S3 when we meet Hama). But one of the reasons that she wants to learn waterbending is to carry on the tradition and culture of her tribe. This is why she's so excited when she meets Hama and actually gets to learn from someone who was a part of the same culture. This is also partly why she's so upset when Hama reveals her bloodbending ability that horrifies Katara. While she loves that Hama is from her tribe, it pains her to see her reduced to a state of nothing but hatred and revenge.
Man, when Sokka and Katara had that GoT moment in the Secret Tunnels, I clapped.
The only reason I gave the show a 6/10 was solely due to what they added to Zuko’s character.
Everything they did with Zuko’s character was amazing.
But taking out Sokka’s character arc was…well it left his character more flat..
He was a good actor but the story didn’t really hit hard.
Wasn’t too fond of them having Aang simply telling us how he felt instead of showing us.
Yeah he’s a kid, but it felt like they made him way too serious.
Not to mention they didn’t even have Aang waterbend on his own once.
Plus many more problems.
I’m honestly starting to really agree with your rating the more I think about it.
Katara's mother's death in the LA Avatar really confused me because they made her mother act like she was going to waterbend and the Southern Raiders fire bender reacted. Which makes his action of killing her more "understandable" in that situation. When in the original, the Southern Raiders Captain tells her "we aren't taking prisoners today" and kills her in cold blood! Like why would they do this?! Why would they LESS of an unforgivable villain? Him doing that is one of the main things that fuels Katara's rage in season 3 when she confronts him. Were they just wanting to make her mother look stronger by fighting back rather than her turning herself in? Why would she endanger herself like that in front of her daughter when she most likely knew that she would probably be killed if she fought back? Idk that's one of the main things that really frustrated me.
Thats crazy
Yea
Thank you for your existential levels of insight
Nux pls make a video about blue eye samurai, it would be awesome to hear your thoughts on PEAK
There's a Chinese live action Mulan film called Hua Mulan which is *really* good. I have no idea why Disney didn't take notes from it since it had already long been out before their disaster came about. But, yeah, highly recommend finding and watching it.
On another note, the end season fight between Master Paku and Katara was so underwhelming in the live action version. Any of her other fight scenes were more impressive looking x.x Not to mention the bending in the series looks a lot less like martial arts than in the animated version....not sure if that was just me thinking that or not
Also, of course there's no character development in the series :v everyone is a Mary Sue and thus have no flaws ~
Woke: (grabs Nux by the collar and screams that he's cancelled)
Nux: harder. DO IT HARDER! I... need this!!
Someone, just unleash nuxanor and open for him door to netflix tower or whatever theyre living in
The original after was woke and progressive. The Netflix version is the The AntiSJW version of the Avatar.
18:52 Netflix will pull reverse Ivankov and turn Crocodille into female, so she can be a big, badass girlboss, and she will be misunderstood, and despite being defeated, she will get pluton and nuke Whitebeard before we even get to know him
When did the Check Mii Out Channel theme become Nux's theme song?
Strong Written Female Character
If I may give a very small feedback to the editor: The background music at times is a bit loud and makes it hard for me to understand nux
I was saying the same thing. Came to the comments to look for this comment.
I still wanna see you force Apollo to watch it Lord Nux
As I said from the get go:
The original creators walked away because they felt their creative vision wasn't being respected. Right at the begining of production! That's it. No more debating, no arguments no nothing. This show lost any good faith it could have had from that point onwards, it literally doesn't deserves a chance. And that is why I will never watch it, it is literally not even worth pirating, it is only deserving of indiference.
With what I've seen of the live action and what they did... I'm scared to see what they do for when Hakoda enters into the story
Lemme guess Zuko's gonna fight terribly against Azula and the true agni Kai Will be Azula vs Katara
netflix butcher the avatar the last air bender, example putting all the sprits character in one ep, the only good on this is the effects the all is bad is like watching a cosplayer performing the show in comic con for a contest.
This is why I'm not watching bootleg Avatar
I can't get over the fact that the live action Aang just looks like a literal baby with a blue arrow on his forehead
They took away Sokka 's sexism,...in a scene that wasn't cringe and made Pakkun more sexist and put in a cringey woman assembled scene smack dab in the middle of the northern water tribe invasion
If I know Netflix. When we get to Alabasta, they're just gonna make not so subtle lesbian subtext with Vivi and Nami
I think theres some voice over in your background music
cant believe theatre parody Soka was more faithful to the original than this movie adaption.
Speaking of speeches about hope
Im reminded of an episode of gene rodenbarrys Andromeda
Harper (a guy from earth who is good with tech) and tyr (a mercenary out for his own personal gain) are captured by horrible creatures called magog (alien creatures that reproduce by planting larva into live hosts and can spit a variety of poisons from glands in their face) anyway Harper is freaking out and constantly going over how the two of them would die. Tyr looks at Harper and starts a speech about how slim the odds were that Harper was even born.... Harper cuts him off by saying "if you're going to give me that life from hope bull crap....... Good, cause I could really use it right now" and that is how you do a "hope speech" correctly. One persons hope and confidence is like a campfire. Its warm and bright, it draws you in with an offer of warmth and shelter. As more people gather that campfire grows into a raging bonfire and soon an unstoppable inferno. All it takes is one person to spark the flames.
Yeah, it was Mulan's will/spirit, which lead to her putting herself into an unimaginable situation for anyone else in the entirety of her own country.
To see how much she struggled compared to the men alongside her despite themselves not being exceptional and push through to develop her skills, overcoming the natural differences with her ingenuity in adapting.
Which hich she gradually becomes more confident with over the course of the movie, until the end, where despite how she's been shunned by her whole country especially those she's developed a close bond with through the defence of their homeland, she pushes through to protect the emporer, confident in her ability to do so because of her experience & growth.
One thing they changed about Katara that I didn’t hear in this video is her waterbending *style.* In this, especially during her fight with Paku, it looks like seems figure skating instead of using martial arts. It’s incredible how they so utterly eviscerated her character(along with the other characters) all the way down to how she fights. Amazing.
