Was just announced season 2 and 3 is going to be happening so thats the whole series
i hope they do more than that, book 2/3 could easily be split into two parts , and the comics would be cool to see as well
@@joshbourne9679You think? After all, Avatar is still performing better than One piece did.
@@joshbourne9679 im pretty sure the budget for one piece was higher
@@mymaynee5963 it was gonna go either way on if they were going to renew it just based on all of the hate. But the hate watches gave it more watches and hours. So if it can continue performing at the level it’s at then it’ll be fine. But if viewership drops off in the next week or so it’ll look bad.
@@joshbourne9679 Nope. Avatar had a budget of 120 million $. One Piece however had a budget of 144 million $.
One piece had the bigger budget compared to Avatar performed worse.
I like this version of Sokka’s relationship with Yue a lot better than the animated show, but we HAVE to admit, from the bottom of our hearts…even the movie did Yue’s hair a lot better than this 😂
So I take it by your reaction to the water healing that you guys forgot that it was a thing Waterbenders could do in the cartoon lol
Yea def did not pay attention
They could heal like mediate the pain but completely get rid of a wound that’s something they never did before.
@@seekhelp8029 Depends on the water actually. Remember, Katara healed Aangs wound a bit and brought him back from death/near death. And she was also able to heal a burn instantly.
They also clearly did not remember that Katara and Pakku had their back-and-forth with each other and the fight
@@seekhelp8029false, katara healed Aangs burn after fighting Zhao
Katara challenged Master Pakku in the animated series also.
but is better handled in the cartoon and im not even talking about the choreography, just with the execution of it
I see how in this season Aang is learning what it means to be the Avatar and deal with his guilt/fears before he masters any other element just like Monk Gyatso warned that he should before the massacre.
This also relates to Kitara who had to be on a similar path of stability before teaching Aang as his Master in water bending come season 2.
Yes, this is what I got from their character arcs in this show. Aang will probably be waterbending right from episode 1 in S2
That's a good point I hadn't thought of.
You may be right, but the problem I have is Aang isn't really dealing with his guilt or fears. He kind of just accepts his role as avatar all too quickly, but then he says he doesn't know what he's doing... but then the next moment he's telling a village he's the avatar and there to help them. He goes back and forth too much and it makes it really unclear what his character arc is. Does he need to overcome guilt or fear? Or did he do that already and just needs to learn avatar stuff? It's like the writers couldn't make up their minds.
I think it's worth noting that he didn't have time to train or learn water bending. He showed up at the South Pole, he goes to the air temple, to Kyoshi Island to learn about the avatar, Omashu, the spirit world, then straight to the North Pole to protect it. In the animated series this was all handled with more freedom, it was mostly just them travelling to learn water bending but they found obstacles in the way. So it's not too wrong if he didn't actually learn anything yet, because they just arrived to the North Pole where he can find a master.
People complaining about Aang being more serious just don't understand that this is also okay, the show is PG13 so of course it would be different. Again, he doesn't have much time to have fun.
All of these arguments are beside the point. Netflix literally had a cheat sheet and still failed the test. This is literally what happened with The Legend of Korra. Bryke were given one season in the beginning with LoK, but after the season was received so well, they were given a second - and then the same thing happened. When Season 2 was received well (albeit not as well as the first) they were then given 3 and 4. The only difference here is Netflix, for some reason, only gave themselves 8 episodes which is why there is literally no B plot.
I don't mind the live-action storyline as it is - I liked where they're going - it's just none of the storylines were fleshed out properly. They didn't give the plot time to breathe.
no its not okay,the poin is they condensed the plot
Didnt have time? Bro we literally had a scene where him and Katara were playing at a river when Ang goes to look how her waterbending is progressing. Just expand THAT scene of him trying to waterbend to train with Katara. Its that simple!
If we jump from point to point in book 3 and 4 just like in book 1, then Im VERY afraid that he wont even learn to earthbend in book 2. Like thats WHY the seasons are called book of water, earth and fire. Because its Ang learning every element while still showing us every country with the respected benders.
@@iandokarasi The twist is that the runtime of season 1 and book 1 are nearly the same. They technically didn't need to condense much of anything.
They didn't have time for Aang to learn waterbending, but they had time for multiple scenes of Azula, Mai, and Tai Lee standing around doing nothing? Not buying it
11:57 14 year-old girls aren't exactly known for tact, especially Katara. It's also exactly what she did in the animated series, since you guys like to compare it so much. Now that it's been approved for the last seasons, we can STOP COMPARING IT to the animated series until the entirely version action is finished!
The reason Aang was training so hard to master water bending in the cartoon was because Roku warned him of the return of Sozins Comet. There was a very pressing timeline on which he had to master the elements and defeat the firelord.
Smartly, they have removed that timeline as it's impossible to pull off with how quickly the child actors will age throughout the show.
I imagine season 2 will pick up with a time jump having Aang mostly mastered water bending under Kataras training. The return of the comet will likely be revealed to Aang near the beginning of the season which will push him to set off and find an Earth bending teacher.
They could still have added the timeline and urgency though. Just make it longer. The fire nation figures it out that its coming at the end anyways. Not having aang learn any water bending is by far the worst part of the screen play of this show.
@@dericplummer9272Nah the worst part of the screenplay is where Aang reads his entire character description to Appa in the first episode- Madame Web level dialogue
@@BichaeldeAngelo I won't disagree. I am honestly surprised how many people are liking the show. I think they are just happy it's better than the movie. But it's still pretty bad and when I could just watch the original again I don't see the point of it.
Aang is not useless in live action Season 1, he has taken out many firebenders with airbending, and that's all he could do in S1 animation too. Just like the animated series, he did not know ANY of the elements at all in any measurable degree in the first Season. Same thing here. He held his own against other benders with airbending just like here. It's just that here, BEFORE the fighting, he is far more cautious, less confident that he can be the Avatar right now that people want him to be despite already being capable, wanting to take every measure to be better. He didn't have anyone to teach him waterbending! Katara was teaching herself through observation, she couldn't do that until they left the North Pole. It's just that in the animation, he didn't express his worry and inadequacy as openly.
"Domesticated". Jesus.
Why havent you guys seen legend of Korra yet? Hope you're planning to watch that!!
exactly my thoughts
I mean aang primarily only uses airbending in book 1 of the animation aswell. He always defaults to his airbending as he is an airbending master. He starts training in waterbending but hes not great at it until book 2. Im ok with him asking the other Avatars for help as it makes sense (he's a scared 12yr old). This version of Aang just seems way more realistic which I personally like but I understand why some fans don't like it.
Katara was already helping Aang with water bending in book 1. It should have been easy to include that in the live action. I get not using it in fights, but never learning anything is a problem, I think.
Yeah im somewhat ok with him not water bending since like you said, he always default to air, but the hate most likely comes for the fact that he barely touched water nor trained in it. Theres no semblance of him actually learning
Tbh I don't really see it as a problem but that's just my opinion. I do think it would have been nice to see some of it but I'm also not too bothered not seeing it. I do think the series would have been better being 10 episodes rather than 8 then they could maybe fit stuff like training with pakku and katara in. :)
I love how you say it's more realistic when this whole entire show is a made-up world lol
@@ConorWood115 i think 10 episodes wouldve benifit this show alot
the *scoff* "yeah hes gonna give her a blessing for sure" had me rolling
6:02 You were supposed to destroy the dark side, not join it! 😂
righhttt! we have witnessed her taking on his antics haha!
Do you both not realize that they did the whole thing with Katara and Pakku in the original?🤣
16:35 tbh I don’t even remember aang learning that much waterbending in book 1 I think after book 1 when katara really come into her own she helped him learn and they later met toph who helped him with earthbending.
He learned quite a bit of water bending in season 1. Don't know why they didn't show any of it here
FYI: The show has been reminded for 2 seasons yay
Holden: when’s aang gonna learn water bending
Netflix: That’s the thing…. He doesn’t
But in all honesty there’s two explanations. There will be a time jump of a couple weeks between books/seasons. & there will be a scene of aang and katarra showing off their new water bending skills after training for a couple weeks
that's what I assumed as well, they'll probably do a couple weeks timejump between this and the second season and by that time Aang will already be an okay waterbender.
Renewed not reminded***
may be more than a couple weeks. I remember reading that the reason they never bring up the return of the comet it to eliminate the time constraint that Aang faced in the animated series. The reason for this is so there could be bigger time jumps in between series and it wouldn't be so jarring when the child actors returned looking years older than they did the past season (The "Stranger things" problem)
Such lazy writing if that's what they do.
@@Zanroff Right. Is it really that hard to add a 30 sec - 1 min scene of him waterbending lol
I don't know if it would be something you like, but I watched the first 3 episodes of Shogun and it's amazing!
Btw with regards to Avatar Kuruk, the spirit stuff is canon. It was explained in the Kiyoshi books.
It was just announced that season 2 and 3 got green light.
It almost seems like they are portraying Aang's "running from responsibility" in a different way. In the animated, he was actively running away from home. But here he just wanted to ride off to clear his mind. Only to expand on it and keep him running from the responsibility during this season... it always confused me why Kyoshi accused Aang's running away (her being in his mind). But your guys' take helped me see it in a different way. Thank you
Ikr? Instead of goofing off as a fun loving kid and making it his coping mechanism to his responsibilities, guilt and shame, lets make it MORE serious because what better way to relate to kids and adults alike is to make it MORE like Game of Thrones!!
I mean cmon dude, part of the charm of the og material is them being kids. Not these shell of their former selves. Aang being so mopey and whinny when the dude tries his hardest to hide everything through goofing off while Netflix barely tries and basically transforming it into Ember Island Players theater acting. They have more personality in the OG.
@BeardedWolfKing this is just another interpretation. Idk about you but I wasn't expecting to have an exact copy.... besides I remember the 1st season being kind of slow. This show is definitely NOT tht
@@DavidMartinez-bz5rg yeah the og show was slow even for me who liked the show entirely. Got bored like season 1 AOT. But the netflix show is definitely too fast. Id often argue that its too slow for the wrong reasons just as much it is too fast for the wrong reasons
Theres like 7 episodes(make it 8 if you want to count the Jeong Jeong episode but itd a side story thats important for season 2 with Guru Patik) that could be cut from Seasons 1 to make the slower pace to be a bit faster. Not to mention combining episodes isnt that out of the ordinary for netflix avatar, but then Again with bad execution, it leaves other great stories become useless or have little to no significance like the Jet story in the netflix show.
Not to mention WHY EVEN ADD SECRET TUNNEL IN SEASON 1 LIVE ACTION? Thats not even IN season 1 of the cartoon.
Again a LOT of stupid decisions and execution were made. I dont even need a 1:1 rendition, just follow the preexisting formula thats ALREADY THERE but revise it to be fitting on the limitations you have like budget.
@@DavidMartinez-bz5rg not to mention time and money IS NOT AN EXCUSE considering they waste their resources on unnecessary CGI on episode 1 intro. They couldnt just have the actors do martial arts forms? They just HAVE to use 3D models and waste time and money on unnecessary avatar climbing on stairs cgi? We couldnt just have a stunt dude in low light dressed as Roku doing forms?
Now because of those useless execution, they neglect some of the cgi. They made them go HAND TO HAND combat. As if thats a regular thing benders do. They made them fight CQC because of the unnecessary costs they did.
I am really glad they did justice to kuruk
Most people don't know that he's Bruce wayne secretly being Batman
Unless they have read the comics
I think there are 2 reasons Aang in this show hasn't done any waterbending training. First imho they don't want to step on Katara's progression from novice to master. Second and closely tied to reason one is they have about an hour and a half less showtime to tell the same story. That's Katara and Aang waterbending scroll ("jealousy"), Katara and Aang pulling water from the ground (jet's episode), Katara discovering she has the ability to heal.
Now I think with season 2 they'll have a minor time jump where Katara has taught Aang some moves on they're way to Omashu. If that is the case it'll be a course correction to things done off screen.
Princess yue is amber midtgunder from "prey" i want that sequel already 😊
We should definitely have seen the moments when Aang talks to katana when she is struggling with her bending, he not only tells her how to focus her bending but also attempts and immediately has some water bending prowess like in the show. Just that is all we would need to assume he’s been training with her throughout their journey
That Bluey shirt! 😁
Also Yue is Amber Midthunder from Prey!
Oh snap I didn't even notice that.
Most importantly, from the X-Men show “Legion”!
Holden: Show her your boomerang…
Jen: 😨
Hilarious 😂😂😂
this reaction is a pretty good representation of twitter. You want the show to be both the same and then get annoyed when it follows the same plot points, you say a 1:1 wouldn't work yet are surprised when there are changes (like aang being novice or his more worried demeanor). I don't think the shows perfect by any means but don't feel the need to enjoy it if it just isn't for you.
Cant make the fans mad i guess. They already saw first hand how Holdens friend and Jens criticism of beloved shows, get people angry and shit🤣🤣 probably a risk they wont take anymore and try to play it safe because i DOUBT Holden would love this
the changes have to be good tho lol, and if it is a 1:1 it can add on top of it and go further lol, this is very simple stuff
Hey Holden, I'm just stopping by to say I'm very still elated that you and Jen are a happy couple. More importantly, you're a dad, yay.
I'm very happy for you.
Jen, you are continuously the woman on of every man's dreams. You are a vision of beauty that most men fall to their knees and weep.
For the both of you, I hope glad tidings continuously come your way.
😂Jen's side-eye to Holden's suki suki suki comment was the MVP of this episode. And I had the same reaction as Holden to Yue's wig. I really can't understand how THAT wig made it through the many channels of approval that a show like this must have. Purplish gray old lady hair... I believe the color you were looking for was white. It's a shame too bc I love that actress (from Prey😉). They did her dirty with that wig for sure.
As much as I love the cartoon, they were wrong in making him so goofy in the first season. I mean he learns he's been in the ice for 100 years, all his friends, all his fellow air nomads are dead. That's a heck of a lot of trauma to deal with. I think this show is handling it better. He still has some moments of levity to show that side of Aang.
well he was probably goofy in the animated show as a way to cope with what was going on. thats what i would do as a kid to ingore all the death thats happened lol
@@needum9212 It was too goofy...unrealistic. Granted, its a cartoon. I prefer this more natural take.
lol Jen’s eyeroll for yue’s “he’ll be doing some waterbending of his own”
The live action doesn’t need Aang to water bend much or at all. Is not like they aren’t enough water benders around when the Fire Nation attacks, and Aang would still lack earth and fire training to control that Avatar State.
Seasons 2 and 3 will be on the way! Pretty excited to see where they take it. I just hope they slow the pacing down a bit.
Honestly, I'm just excited to see Toph
I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 even if it had some changes. They kept the main story beats alive and added some new story "elements".
6:38 Nice one, Holden! 😂🤣
I kinda agree with aang not trying to waterbend. I don't expect him to be a full master waterbender by the end of the season but at the very least he could have tried a few times to waterbend.
So my thoughts on the last two episode.
Episode 6 is probably the BEST Episode of Season 1 so far. They managed to mix some stuff together and make it really work. Everything with Zuko, Ozai and Iroh was done really well. The adaptation of the Blue Beetle was handled well, the action scenes were cool and a big surprise...was the addition of Graphic Novel content. So Avatar: The Search/Graphic Novel Number 2 is the story that explores Zuko and Team Avatar teaming up with Azula to find Zuko and Azula's Mum and Koa's Spirit Mother is introduced in that story and in this episode they make a reference to her via that statue, so that was a cool addition.
Episode 7 was hit and miss. I liked how they rewrote the Princess' ex-boyfriend and made him into a likable guy. In the cartoon, he's pretty unlikable and then he disappears in a joke scene after he tries to attack Zhao and gets knocked overboard and that's the last you see of him. A very pointless character really. But my negative with this episode is pretty much my other negatives with the rest of the season in terms of how Aang hasn't bothered to learn Water-Bending at any point in this season. People are making the excuse that this season isn't called Water. Yet Netflix, when annoucing Season 2 and 3, they had those seasons and Season 1 accompanied by their respected logos which are Water, Earth and Fire. So YES, this Season is based and is meant to be Water. Just because its not referred to Book 1: Water doesn't mean its not about that and for 8 episdoes they never once showcase Aang training which is crazy.
There's also the fact they got rid of the Water-Bending Teacher's connections to Katara and Sokka's Grandmother. Would have been cool to see that connection as well as the importance of Katara's Necklance. They could have even done a quick flashback and introduced a young Hama was it? in it as set-up to what we will hopefully see in Season 3. I did like the addition of Avatar Kurant was it? We never really got to spend anytime with him at all except for a quick appearance and that was it. At least we got something with him here which was cool.
Overall, again this show adaptation is hit and miss. Some of it works, some of it doesn't. The whole water-healing aspect is something that was introduced way eariler in the original show where Aang first tries to learn fire-bending first via Zhao's Fire-Bending Master and burns Katara accidentally in the process which leads to her learning water-healing in the same episode minutes after by accident. I hope we get to see that episode adapted next season.
RIP Akira Toriyama 🙏
I don't always laugh at Holden's dad jokes, but damn he had me laughing hard with some of those innuendos.
They confirmed book 2 and 3 will happen
Aang being less like a kid fits with the overal less childish tone of the live action series. They literally opened the series with showing 95 % of a genocide. And I’m all for that shift in tone.
from what I remember aang was naturally gifted at water bending as soon as he started
bit unrelated to the video, but im curious about the chairs their sitting on, they look incredibly comfortable ,
i wonder which chairs those are. looks nice, with cubholder, and a tray with swifel on the armleaning.
they have a video from 11 months ago called "We upgraded our movie theatre chairs" the brand is called Valencia
Awesome reaction I love it keep it up
im on the fence with how they handle the whole betrothal neckalce thing, and hahn, and yue. it felt like it had more cultural significance in the OG than they're giving it here. however, what they did here did work so i'd chalk it up more to a preference with the OG, especially with master paku seeing his necklace to gran gran after his fight with katara.
Just an idea for a new series but it would be really cool to see you guys react to Shogun. I've been really enjoying it
Gotta say I love the Bluey shirt Holden 👍
You need a shirt of her yelling your name 😂😂😂it's every episode
I really enjoyed this live action. And honestly the only thing that bothered me was Aang not doing waterbending.
Do you think Katara will emotionally attack Toph by mocking her blindness in season 2 like she did in book 2?
I would probably disagree with your assessment on how they’re portraying the young. My humble opinion is simple we keep forgetting this is still book 1 He doesn’t learn how to do earth🪨bending till book 2 and Doesn’t learn how to fire🔥bend until book 3. And he only goes into the avatar state when he’s extremely emotional and even then he doesn’t know how to control it. But if you remember correctly, whether he was to learn water bending or not at the end of book one in the final season showdown he hast to go into avatar state to save the northern water nation tribe. And if you remember correctly in book 2 when Kara started teaching and how to water bend. So he is desperate, but he always used his abilities as an Airbender to get out of situations as well as having his friends with him. That’s how I remembered it watched the cartoon growing up when I was a little kid and I’ve always been a fan of avatar…. You still have one more episode to go, which I think you will see how it ties in to what you’re saying now. Not giving any spoilers, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Yes! The Bluey shirt 😀
While I dont like a lot of the decisions they made to change things, especially how they combined multiple plotlines into single episodes, I still LOVE this show!
It hits me right in the nostalgia, and I cannot wait for Season 2!
How did he find out Zuko was the blue spirit?
5:55 Good to hear Jen is as dirty minded as Holden
You need to stop reading reviews and come up with your own commentary
for real this show is doo doo
Can the shirt possibly hint towards “My Wife Watches Bluey for the First Time”? 🤔😂
You should have reacted to both 7 and 8..
“Show her your boomerang” lol
Show Jen the ice age movies
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Avatar The Last Airbender!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I gotta know where you got that Bluey shirt! My kids would freak if I got me one of those bad boys!
I hope that once they finish the live action they’ll give Korra a shot. It’s not to the quality of ATLA but it is a solid entry. S1 is good. S2 is a little rough S3 and S4 are very good right along the same quality of ATLA.
The show is getting a 2nd season 😊
And 3rd 😊
Hello!!
If you like this, I'll recommend Netflix's One Piece
Funny how SUKI or “TSUKI” means MOON in Japanese and then Princess Yue actually became the MOON. lol
Katara in Cartoon: I will win no doubt
Katara in life action: He will wipe the floor with me.
Good thing Netflix took out the sexism .............................................................
WATCH LEGEND OF KORRA!
Commenting for the algorithm
“My Wife and I watch Bluey for the first time”
6:03 nice
And the lion king
The only bending Sokka does is backbending lol
Let them cook .... let them cook
Sokka and Katara talk about the southern water tribe like they are some southern hicks from Alabama.
Holden, akira toriyama has passed away
😢
A little water bending on his own 😂😂😂
I feel that everyone remembers the first season of the animated series way more positive than what it was. Is is by far the worst, and it only gets elevated because the following two seasons are so much better
Why is Jenns eyebrows saying, "Huh," without a facial expression 😂😂😂😂😂
Please watch "Legend of Korra" after this series
It’s crazy how the actors are like the characters off screen but the dialogue needs to pick up. The action scenes need more bending than being grounded & lots of explanation to those who don’t watch the animated series.
If you really enjoy a darker take or edge in this universe, you guys should really start Korra after this.
Feel like you guys are trying to find issues at this point
I just think its ridiculous how kioshi tells aang theres going to be an attack on the fire nation and they only go to warn the north but nah its okay they already know?? Also I don't want them to rush season 2 and 3 like they rushed this season. I don't even want a season 2 or 3 after watching tbh. There's no way they can fit all that story telling in 8 episodes that's impossible. I'm telling you all right now. I told you so.
Also Katara fought Pakku once and he deems her a master? She didn't struggle and learn like in the show and its just not good lol
Team Sokki or Team Yukka
😂😂
Wait, this isn’t James Cameron 😳
But I wish it was! 😭😭
If you were a water bender, imagine the things you could do with your pee
apart from whole original animation, adaptation things and all, it is just soo dumb to not even show that aang can bend any other element beside air in whole show. like they keep saying avatar is the master of all elements! only avatar can bend all elements! and all but not even once this boy did that except last episode lol. even someone who don't know about original can question is aang really the avatar or not lmao
and btw even a little tiny bit interection with water would do it you know, he is the avatar after all, he doesn't even need anyone for being able to move a little water, in cartoon he was making big waves with his first ever water bending they could have show something like that and everyone would be okay with that
So are you gonna start watching "The Legend Of Korra" or what ?
"One of the criticisms I've seen..." Dude, just watch it. Who cares what redditors think? What's your opinion on it?
I'm fine with Aang being more serious, but the problem comes when they suck out all the heart and soul from the character. They literally make him serious nearly every second he's on screen. A real 12 year old would not act that way all the time. There has to be a balance
Come on... Continue on How to train your dragon.....
So the fire nation is there and Aang STILL has not trained at all in water. I am starting to hate this.
My only gripe about the live-action is the pacing and that sort of kinda bleeds into Aang not waterbending. Like Aang in the animated series could comfortably defend himself with just water alone at the end of Book One, but for some reason they decide to cut out all of his waterbending training. Why? Like, make that make sense.
I can see the story they're trying to tell, and I like it, but they move on so quickly.
Zhao the fish abuser
Yeah i totally get Jens rant at the end there. She might not realize it but theyve been downplaying Aangs capability as a powerful bender since Kyoshi Island.
Remember when its almost primarily Aang that fend off the Fire Nation soldiers in the cartoon? Him man handling Zuko with Kyoshi Warrior fans? Well, get a hold of this Netflix chump. Why need Aang when he can just turn into Kyoshi HERSELF!!! Oh, Aang is a master AIRBENDER WITH TATTOOS OF A MASTER??? Well lets see him get kicked in the stomach in the live action by a novice Zuko who intentionally nerfed himself by NOT firebending to avoid suspicion in Omashu!!! Note that Netflix Aang did NOT have to NOT airbend.
So yes Jen, they've been messing up Aangs capabilities
crazy how the first book is called water and yet aang doesnt even waterbend. this show does have some good but most of this show just makes no sense to me especially small changes that didnt have to be made. for example Hahn being super friendly and nice to sokka lol. bro is literally taking your girl.
yeah him not learning any water bending in book 1 was so weird for me. i really liked the live action but this change was just not good at all. like how is aang just gonna focus on learning earth bending in season 2 when he also has so learn water bending? 🤦🏻♀️ not to mention, they have less access to water in book 2 (since they’re in the earth kingdom) than they did in book 1. it just doesn’t make sense why they didn’t make him learn it in the north or with katara. going to the north where all the masters are was for that EXACT reason but they just changed it to aang having a vision and preventing a war instead, which was not the main point of book 1 at all
I really don’t like how they’ve portrayed Katara and Sokka’s dad in the live action. Sokka and Hakoda were like mirror images of each other sharing similarities with their ingenuity and humor and he was a good father to his children overall. In the live action they make him seem like a dick.
Idk I feel like they’re trying to find some personal conflict within him. Since they changed him from him being sexist to not from the animated show. They’re trying to find another way to make him grow as a character and it feels like he lacks confidence is what I’ve noticed in the live action
@@TrueJEMtheArtist yup spot on. They just want to replace unnecessary shit with even more unnecessary shit.
Aang doesn't do a single bit of Waterbending in this season. Not one time. He doesn't actively bend a single drop of water. It's really disappointing because they made him too serious. "I have to get to the Northern Water Tribe and warn them about the Fire Nation attack!" (which they already know about) and he never once thinks about finding a Waterbending trainer there, nor do we see him train with Paku. It's really annoying.
