Eric was correct, the Mechanist was originally in the Northern Air Temple; Southern was Aang's home, Northern was the Mechanist, Eastern was the Guru, Western was the post invasion hideout.
I really love the concept of merging the mechanist and jet. Both characters start off as something and have a twist reveal, and they're direct opposite resolutions.
I really liked how they made it so that Katara and Sokka go through kind of the same experience, with a supposed ally turning out to be bad, but with one key difference, Jet is motivated by hate and thinks he is doing good, whereas the Mechanist knows he is doing bad but is motivated by love, and as such the Mechanists story ends better than Jets.
Troy and Abeb in OmAAAAshu!
Danny Pudi is such a joy to watch, he absolutely killed it.
My favourite thing this episode did was draw the parallels between Jet and the Mechanist that never existed in the original show.
Liked the blending of the Omashu, Mechanist and Jet subplots& the buildup of MY CABBAGES line was hilarious...🤣
Fun fact: The actor for the Cabbage Man is the same guy who voiced him in the animated series. No matter what, either in animation or live action, Cabbage Man always suffers. In his words:
*"MY CABBAGES!!!!"*
James Sie
@@seanpatrickcain2
That’s right.
*Another Fun fact: Daniel Dae Kim not only played Fire Lord Ozai in this live action but he also voiced the Earth Kingdom General Fong, that forced Aang into the avatar state when they went to Omashu!*
MY CABBAGES!!! 🥬
It's the Canon.
This episode impressed me with how they interwove the different storylines together.
How? There's hardly any time to explore each storyline since they're all thrown in here.
it felt rushed to me !
Well... duh, if you have 8 episodes to fit in pivotal story points from a 20 plus season... It isn't going to be easy, at all. XD @@Droidd1993
@@Droidd1993 fr same for me
@@za-ir5ni his opinion
I really found it interesting how they merged this three arcs, some find it bad but I really liked it ngl. Jet is among my favourite portrayals at the end of the day.
The guy at the beginning is Kevin Tran from Supernatural!
The intro always gets me !! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
They edged me so hard with that cabbage joke lol
That was too on the nose, for my taste.
@@Makverusthat’s what makes it fun
This is the Great Divide episode. Sokka and Katara also critics and audience.
I actually noticed a literal adaptation of The Great Divide in this episode:
Instead of Sokka identifying with the war-like, meat eating, not prim and proper tribe and thinking 'yeah, I identify with them, therefore I'm on their side and will argue they can't be wrong' he identified with Sai, the mechanist where Sokka saw reflected his desire to be more than a 'great warrior' but also to use his mind and ingenuity to help his friends - therefore he didn't want Sai to be wrong.
Instead of Katara identifying with the prim and proper, well prepared, educated and clean tribe and thinking 'yeah, I identify with them, therefore I'm on their side and will argue they can't be wrong', she identified with Jet the freedom fighter where Katara saw reflected her anger, pain and desire to fight back against the fire nation as well as create a community to help people who were harmed be healed - therefore she didn't want Jet to be wrong.
The live-action was able to take the theme and lesson from one of the most maligned episodes of the animated series and reframe it within other plot lines to make it so much more poignant and nuanced, pushing forward a lot more character development than 'Sokka is dirty and lazy, Katara is uptight and prissy'. The live-action took the lesson and actually tied it to Katara and Sokka's core character motivations that will have arcs for them rather than surface-level character traits that never really change.
@@aprilshighfantasysoul5891 Ouuuf be careful there... you're making WAY TOO MUCH SENSE! It's like you were able to see the way they managed to move certain key points in an inventive way without sacrificing the important character development from those stories. People that hate without explaining themselves won't like your comment OHLALA....
@@claudegrenier3180sad, but true DX
@aprilshighfantasysoul5891 it's been a while since I've seen the original and I forgot about this episode. That's a great comparison. I'm still not a huge fan of how they crammed so much into this episode, but I can appreciate this.
Zuko really said "you took my dream journal."
You're saying that Katara needs more confidence but like, very early on season 1, she way very overconfident. She had so much rage aand jealousy which was really great for her character in learning from herr mistakes.
She broke into a earthbender prison to free earthbender. She got so angry at sokka which caused them to find Aang.
This Katara is so docile and passive, which is my biggest dissapointment.
You’re expecting a live action to have the same reactions as an animation.
@@andrejohnson8554 wha? No. It has nothing to do with that. I'm saying that the changes to Katara is a detriment to her original character. Failing to capture that means the reactors will notice it too. They think it's her getting character development later when instead it's character regression.
@@boastaboutgames2747 if you’re judging character by the emotions they display then You have no clue what character is. It’s ideals, beliefs, what they stand for. Getting angry, jealous, docile or passive has nothing to do with her character or who she is.
@@andrejohnson8554 wh.. WHAT? The emotions you display is LITERALLY what shows character. Not to mention that in live action, the actors must show emotions to display the character. Which is another critique of this show since it does a lot of telling us how to feel instead of showing us.
Do you understand the basics of writing?
@@boastaboutgames2747 no they aren’t, emotions are not character. Everyone has the same emotions. But no one has the same character. You clearly don’t understand what makes someone who they are. The characters don’t need to show emotions at all. You understand nothing about character or when someone shows who they truly are. When Zuko talks about his destiny and his path he doesn’t show emotions yet people can feel for him because they understand him. Not because they see his emotions. Emotions are not part of who someone is.
After this season you should check out “Blue Eye Samurai” - so good
OMG YES
CABBAGES!!! 😂😂😂
Well, another fun episode & reaction Wave Crew!
Enjoy watching reactors like @funnylilgalreacts and @BaddMedicine, who flow with the adaptation in lieu of whining about not living up to the cartoon to ad nauseam. Live-action show-runners are bigger fans than most of us. They have the tall order of translating the original to Netflix 8-episodes formats. The show is doing just fine. May these actors/characters grow on us more in season 2 and 3.
The kid in the beginning that looks familiar played a character on Supernatural in later seasons, Kevin the prophet.
While theres a lot of this adaptation that feels rushed, I actually didn't mind how they mixed the episodes in this one. We got to see Jets crew as well as their mentality, and we got to see how Sokka ends up helping design firenation tech, all in one connected plotline.
I saw other people's reactions to these episodes, but I was waiting for yours, because I knew you'd appreciate Abed's actor
I will always love the Blindwave intro. Especially how casual the Fire part is LMAO
abed in atla is goated
i finished the show yesterday and i really liked it! obviously there were bunch of missteps but i didnt mind it as i wasnt comparing it w the original and i did not remember everything clearly
Did anyone realize the guy who plays Ozai was General Thong in the last Airbender, and Hiroshima in Korra? I love that he’s also in this live action
not to be pedantic but thong is so funny i’d feel bad leaving u w/o knowing haha. it’s general Fong
The intro kills me every time 🤣
Love you guys!
Was Calvin soda-bending at the end there?
Aang vs Zuko in this episode might be the best 1v1 in this season. The choreography is so great, and everyone agrees it’s got Jackie Chan vibes. Hope to see more of that in Season 2 & 3.
Overall this episode grew on me. I’m less keen on eps 4 & 5 but Iroh and Zuko carry those IMO. 6 onwards is great.
Yes, that's the same "My Cabagges" person who voiced in anime
Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Calvin! Thanks, Aaron! 🌱☁🔥🌊
this episode did really well at showing what should be changed to fit live action and run time constraints where as the first two changed stuff that i think take away from the series overall but not even for a reason of time constraints as the first 2 covered the first 4 of the original in the same time if not more. and i get that there is other reasons for changes that need to be made but in this the changes felt like they were done well without taking away from the general story or any of the characters motivations. where as i think the first 2 did that a bit. however the casting continues to be awesome
Its to bad Aang and Soka dont really get to interact with jet at all
all the smoke from the fire nation blocks out the sun
The guy at the start played Kevin in supernatural, I also spent ages staring at him wondering where I knew him from
My only problem with Danny Pudy is that Abed was such a Fourth Wall breaking character that I see abed playing a role in another universe.
I cannot wait to watch the rest of these reactions!
Not the cabbages! 😭
FINALLY!!!
That was Kevin from supernatural, aka Osric Chau
Calvin metalbending at 27:20
The fire nation revolutionary in the beginning of the episode is Ryan Choi from The Arrowverse.
I really liked this episode. The merged story lines worked so well here and the character humor was perfect.
LETS GO!!!!!
MY CABBAGES!
You touched on the biggest issue with this season and that's Katara. Her character was always the heart of the show but that kind of nuanced performance is a lot to ask of a young actor. These types of shows always improve in the 2nd season as the young actors improve immensely as they gain confidence how to portray their character.
I feel like no one notices that the assassin group led by Kevin tran(osric chau), he had a lotus tattoo on his right forearm. Considering what I've seen about Iroh, I'm curious what they are doing with the white Lotus. It feels like the white lotus has lost hope from some cryptic comments Iroh made episode 1. Which made Kevin's assasination attempt seem more desperate then.
And yes confirmed Cabbage guy was og voice actor.
We get jet early. But here we dont have Aang looking up to him or admiring him only for them to fight later and Sokka doesnt really interact with him because he is with the Mechanist.
We got jet we don’t have sokka feeling jealous of jets leadership skills. They have limited interaction. Also, the mechanics was at the air temple. He wasn’t in Omashu so that’s different.
Yeah they aint see a lot of folks until they were going to Ba Sing Se. Also Zhao wasnt at Kyoshi island it was only Zuko and his warriors. Kyoshi didnt overshadow Aang until they was about to get boiled in oil. Roku over shadowed Aang first when they were at the Fire Sage temple. It’s crazy how theyswitch things up and we can still know where we are in the story. Nice touch.
We know where we are in the story by looking at where they are. It’s not that difficult.
@@andrejohnson8554 yeah but I meant how they combine all these storylines if you wanted to compare to the original they are taking pieces from season 2
@@grownmannn2 it’s may be called book 2 but they’re still in the same world and go to the same locations. The only thing from season 2 is the secret tunnels which is from episode 2 of book 2.
Either way the things you mentioned had no important role in the story. They managed to keep all of the important stuff.
@@andrejohnson8554 true I just like the jumping around
Yey they finally got to Abed. Also, pretty sure Abed voice a character in the cartoon.
"again, its THUHH duke"
Your cat is so cute
I thik Ltd. Deng has finally made his peace...
I have been looking forward for this reaction
Okay I'm up to ep.4 and I don't think I've missed anything but why can the firebenders summon fire and others have to manipulate what's around them
Did he call Haru by the name Hyrule?
did you just call haru by the name heru?
@@mochiyeosang1908 Thanks for the proofread . Editted
Oh shit we get the mechanist jet and Azula oh man!!!!
MY CABBAGES!!!
Loving y'alls reactions! And thank you for being levelheaded & positive about the changes they made, there's too much bashing on the show for it not being the exact same as the cartoon
We see more of Ozai pitting his kids against one another and it’s less just favoritism towards Azula. I’m noticing that. Unless he is just using Zuko to push her.
peter pan = lost boys = rufio= dante basco =zuko=avatar the last airbender
Wait so I dont get my Bonzo Pippinpaddleopsicopolis
Man I really wanted my pirates I feel Katara got that scroll too easy lol. We dont get Katara being jealous of Aang here also he hasnt done any water bending yet so thats different.
This is definitely my favourite episode!!!!
someone give my girl Katara a vitamine C pill right away
A lot of people apparently wanted real life 20 min episodes line for line with the voice actors playing the role from 10 years ago.
For me this was sadly my least favorite episode because of too many storylines.
But still good fights, Cabbage, Iroh, oh and Dani Pudi was great too.
Low attention span, hard to stay focused
this ep is way better than ep 4,5
@@mymaynee5963 4 Was a little bit better for me, but definitely not much in comparison but after that especially 6 is great. 👌
20, 20, 21
This Omashu arc is kinda rough to me, the worst that this show offered throughout the first season. I'm just waiting for the reaction to *(maybe spoiler)*
giant kaiju fish that we didn't get in the 2010 movie
For me personally I think the spirit world arc was the worst handled, although mostly episode 5 specifically as I actually really enjoyed episode 6.
@@PootPootMagoot yeah.. that one is not great too. But what's interesting is looking back as overall, the show isn't crap like most said it is, at least like a 4/10
@@PootPootMagootthere was no spirit world arc on ATLA, it was an episode
That’s cool that it was rough for you but I hope you don’t expect people to care when you have no explanation why.
@@andrejohnson8554 I'm aware the introduction to the spirit world in the original was self-contained in one episode. In this adaptation, it was stretched across two, hence why I used the term arc... is there a problem?
Please watch The Gentlemen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mother Katara is Book 3. Teacher Katara is Book 2. Learning Katara is Book 1. We have to remember to not smash all the Katara journey into one place. To be fair to the critics she is a little less sassy and annoying with the Hope talk compared to Book 1.
I mean, she doesn't have any of the personality of Katara. She's not assertive, motherly, bossy, prone to anger, etc. She's just passive and boring here. Also she barely learns anything. The writers just have her get good each ep without showing how and except us to just accept it.
@@za-ir5ni what’s crazy is that the actress acts more like katara in interviews than she does in the show lol. i hope the writing and directing is better in the next two seasons because she’s a good actress from what i’ve seen in another show she played in.
8 hours != 8 hours
Having 1 20 minute episode about X, 1 about Y and 1 about Z, is completly fine.
Having 1/3 of an episode about X, than 1/3 about something completly different for Y, just to than have the other 1/3 for for Z which once again has nothing to do with X & Y, doesn't work.
So combining or dropping are the only choices, I like what they did.
exactly this! Fitting an episodic show into a serialized format necessitates structural changes - ie weaving together storylines rather than having separate storylines back to back. In the animated show, every single episode (other than the 2 parters) starts out with the Gaang traveling on Appa with zero connection to what happened in the previous episode - how people thought they could just shift three of those type episodes into 1 episode and it not be terribly paced is beyond me. The writers of the live-action found storylines with similar themes and wove them together into a central setting and I think they did a really good job
@@aprilshighfantasysoul5891 They literally didn't because they're just focused on the big plot points. The entire point of those "episodic" episodes was worldbuilding and character development. They're doing neither here.
@@za-ir5ni Exactly. The original show felt like we saw the Ganng go on an actual adventure. In this adaptation, it feels like they're skipping cutscenes and going straight to the missions. Whereas in the original show, they not only watched the cut scenes, but did the side missions, if that makes sense.
Reaction Damsel movie pliss
2 a week? 😉
Call me old-fashioned but I think that tunnel of two hours is not good for two siblings
It's also not a good look for two kids, at least not in live action; especially since they haven't moved to establish that ship yet. The love between family members is a workable compromise. Was I happy with it? Not really, but did I hate it? No.
1st episode was okay, on 2nd they started losing me, by the third, I had already checked out of the series.
I enjoyed the entire season, I give it an 8/10 after a second watch.. but eps 3 and 4 are some of the lowest points for me, unfortunately.
First❤
I wasn't a huge fan of this episode. And I think the best example of my issue is Smellerbee. She stabbed that man multiple times all over his body. And her knives were pristine and bloodless. It just feels like the show keeps flip-flopping on what it wants to be between kid-friendly and gritty in a really hamfisted way. Longshot shot that guy in the arm because they're "the good guys" so they don't kill people...until they heavily intimated that Pipsqueak was going to take those unconscious men somewhere and kill them.
I want to like it, and I do like it, but I feel like some big aspects are making it harder than it needs to be. And not picking a tone to stick to feels like it was a problem they should have seen and ironed out early on.
Am I the only one bothered by how bad the green screen is, and it’s just so boring
Low attention span
Yes you are
