In the cartoon Bumi's response to the traumas of war turned him into a critical thinker capable of thinking outside of the box. He was a mad genius. The live actioned turned him into a bitter old man at an arrested development with abandonment issues.
But he still think outside the box, what he did to aang is to check on how aang see the world now. Cause he know how soft aang is and how harsh the path he will walk and how harsh the world change now. At the end he see aang as his best friend.
Wrong he grew resentful of aang for being away, Bumi's original character arc was happy to see aang returned and encouraged him to rely on his friends while the live action made bumi antisocial.
what abandonment issue are you talking about? he is a critical thinker and wants Aang to get out comfort zone. @KanishQQuotes was right "You may be 100 years old
But you have not lived for a 100 years"
@@son9626 no he dosent.
@@sonsofjorge7730 dude did you see the live action??? they RAPED bumi in the writers room. he was never angry at aang. he was just happy to see his friend again in the cartoon. in this hes a miserable senile old fuck.
You may be 100 years old
But you have not lived for a 100 years
Especially not THESE one hundred years...
"Lettuce Leaf"
This is why I kinda like live action Bumi better... He's far more, realistic in my opinion.
@@jimwell5608 yes but I don't understand why they picked a young actor and made him old with layers of makeup
When iroh and ozai are the right age
@@KanishQQuotes I think it's perhaps they haven't found any ripped or buff old person?? 😁 Aang VS Bumi fight scene will be a hard scene to shoot if they cast an actual old guy... LOL.
"MY CABBAGES" Never old😂
after all the serious stuff, the "MY CABBAGES" brings that old smile always
Such a great thing to see three voice actors from the original series got brought back to do roles for this show.
@@tankdogization which were the 3 voice actors brought back ?
@@veemon9280 Danial Dae Kim, George Takei and the cabbage merchant.
@@tankdogization Technically, Daniel Dae Kim worked in The Legend of Korra, but I get your point.
bumi cartoon : childish
bumi live action : PTSD
I'm not sure which one has more mental problems.
Makes more sense
@@Shadow_Hunter_X It does not make any sense. Bumi is supposed to be an exceptional human, his resilience as strong as earth, wise with unwavering optimism. He's a member of the white lotus.
To think he would give in to bitterness is asinine. He is supposed to be light in the darkness, not consumed by it.
@@Saskfinest1 your crazy in the animated show how he acted was completely unreasonable, if your friend who disapeared for a hunderd years suddenly appeared making jokes thats insaine, the live action version is so much better
@@Shadow_Hunter_X no you are making a mistake comparing yourselves to him.
You are not him, he is better than you in every way. He's not supposed to be compared to normal humans but someone to look up to and be inspired by. This is why he wouldn't take his bitterness off on Aang and you would. This is the true strength of Bumi.
Making every character a person who's lost in the darkness of war is boring.
Exceptional characters should act like exceptional beings, not a copy of every other person.
Both versions of Bumi explore different themes. (I personally prefer the animated Bumi way more. I think the themes explored fit better in the overall story)
Animated Bumi was more about wisdom, friendship, and the resilience of the earthbending people not letting war break down their hope. Also about duty and mental strength.
Netflix Bumi was more about how hardship and pain can corrupt a person. How war and survival can make you lose sight of what's important.
Now that's a nice observation. I honestly didn't think to that extent.
Very good.
some people dont notice this and immediately think this show is bad
This is not exactly a remake it's a newly imagined retelling of the story. Live action tv cannot live up to cartoon physics, and so you have to lean into the story and go a little darker.
@@mikemiller8430 agreed
Don't like how they turned Bumi into a bitter old man.
But... It's understandable why he's mad. He's friend was supposed to save them and as you got older you became a realist
I hope they make him more silly/funny in s2
he's funny in this tho.@@everythinginashorttime2566
100 years of none stop war changes people
@@mirasani423 Plus he has to deal with the horrors of war for 100 years, Fire Nation infiltrating and harassing his city, and the recent assassination attempt. I guess his pet gorilla-goat thing must've been his emotional support, which is why it is absent in the show except the bunch of its statues.
In sanskrit Bumi translates to Earth. What a fitting name for a King with earth element.
Vaayu 🌪, Bhumi🌍 , Jala🌊 , Agni🔥.
Indonesian language loaned a lot from Sanskrit. Here we say earth 'Bumi' as well. Back then it took quite a while for me to notice that 'Bhumi' is a character's name lmao.
@@rmekaningtyas7007 I was also surprised he said Bumi which means in bahasa is Earth, There are many Sanskrit influences in our language
I can't say I like the changes to Bumi becoming a bitter angry old man that hated his friend because "He wasn't there"
People are saying "This is realistic, because Bumi lived through this war!" But I don't think Bumi would ever of blamed his friend like that. He understood that one person, even the Avatar couldn't control the world. He knew the war was outside of the Avatar's control.
He knew Aang was just a child, who wasn't even fully trained. After 100 years, I would think he'd of come to terms with the fact that the War wasn't Aang's fault, and that Aang is not to blame for it even if he had blamed Aang for it.
But again, I don't see King Bumi ever doing that. He was a very wise character even if he acted the false Buffoon. Realism does not mean being an Arsehole.
Nah realistically seen, he knew Aang was the avatar and has the power of a thousand benders as stated in episode 2 by Avatar Kyoshi. War is of course not Aang’s fault but the fault of the fire nation. And everyone lost hope knowing the avatar was gone. Even Bumi
What makes you say he hated his friend? He doesn't hate Aang at all. He resents him. Big difference.
"Power of a thousand Benders" could just be an exaggeration, or Kyoshi using poetic license to explain the weight of Aang's power and responsibility.
End of the day. Aang is a 12 year old child and not even a fraction of the way to unlocking his power as the Avatar.
Bumi knows this. I cannot see him blaming Aang for the state of the world. He's too learned and wise for that.
If my friend had bailed on me for a hundred years, I think i deserve to be angry. It’s completely justified. In the cartoon he was goofy and showed no characteristics of a 100 year old man. In here they made it seem like Bumi had lived through a 100 years who had to bear responsibilities, while Aang who was his age, dodged all the responsibilities, even worse the responsibility that of an Avatar.
It’s such a nice change in my opinion.
Yh the writers really do the characters dirty in this show. Look we have an amazing actor who even looks the part and instead of him being a funny old wise man he became bitter 💀
Bumi in the animation: a truly mad genius, admired by his people and guards, member of the White Lotus
Bumi in live action: literally insane and suicidal.
Bumi was always insane he literally almost drowned katara in sinking SAND really I like both versions but honestly the second version because it is WAR and Ang has to be ready kioshyi said it too he ran from his responsibility he can’t run anymore so bumi was always wise but war has hardened him a little in this version he was never going to kill Ang but make him understand you LEFT you can’t just come back and be all buddy and not address the elephant in the room Ang do I like both versions but Ang had to grow up and bumi is letting him know that because fire lord will and have shown no mercy not even to his SON do you think he will show that to ANG
@@janderson9477 That wasn't Bumi
It was General Fong.
Also. Kyoshi can predict the future now. It could have been useful before... So. Many. Times!
Pretty easy to see why he’s gone insane, the cartoon can’t really describe the horrors of war and the cartoon Bumi doesn’t make sense in a live action. He learned he can’t rely on his friends because his best friend went missing when he needed him most and he had to make insanely hard decisions to survive. Aang coming back gives him hope that he was wrong to lose hope and that he can actually rely on someone to take the burden of making the impossible possible.
@@theimmitigableone8056 And that is another prerogative of general Fong and not Bumi. In this case, he would probably be deposed by absolutely inefficient leadership.
I mean, yes, this the same case with the Nolan's Joker. It's a more "grounded" version of the character, but definitely not the same. Better? Worst? That is a matter of opinion and taste. But definitely not the same as before.
@@thiagohayashi9936 Of course it’s a matter of opinion and in this case we’re comparing two versions of the same character, or two different approaches they could’ve gone with. A cartoonish version like Jack Nicholson’s Joker that keeps it closer to the original, or a realistic version like Heath Ledger’s Joker. I prefer the latter since it plays much better in live action.
This actor does a great job bringing Bumi to life, perfectly captured his mannerisms and whimsicalness, but it was unnecessary making him a bitter realist than a wise eccentric.
best comment on here
agreed. simps forget that he is a white lotus. A group of wise elders that do not mind what nation they come from. Making him bitter here undermines the fact that he is also friends with Master Piandao, A SWORDMASTER FROM TEH FIRE NATION.
I don't think Bumi's bitterness towards Aang has anything to do with his relationship to members of other nations, but I do agree that it makes no sense for him to be so spiteful and bitter when he is a member of an elite society that works behind the scenes for the betterment of everyone @@Maramara13Fly
Bumi: Mad Wise King that teaches Aang and tactical genius that plays the long game.
Live action Bumi: depressed suicidal old man that needs to be taught
Don't forget they ruined Avatar Roku and Pakku too, but they did good work with Avatar Kuruk
Yep. Bumi Netflix version make more sense than in the cartoon. If this live actions 100% just like in the cartoon, it will look cringe.
@@kelvincostner7775 they made him the exact opposite of what his character was he was a smart and insane fun loving cool dude new one is jus why…
I don't think Bumi is bitter and angry on Aang. He just gave him a reality check. As a King to the Avatar, not as friend to friend. And Aang needed that, especially due to his long absence from the world.
Even if he's angry or sad he doesn't necessarily hate him. In the anime he seems like too crazy to have been affect by his best friend's absence and I still dont see the sense of his tests. Here he seems like a benevolent king who seen a lot of shit
This could've been improved on a 1000x by just having him drop the act after Aang figures out he's Bumi during the last test... Revealing he's Bumi before the tests made no sense and took away all the build up leading to the final test.
IDK, it felt like it was Aang giving Bumi the 'reality check' at the end. At least when it came to relying on your friends.
@@PrinceoftheAbyss I don't know. Overall this change a little bit tricky. In the animated version, Bumi behaves in Cartoonish goofy way. It goes well. Here, although I appreciate him telling the realities of war, Aang's reply breaks the illusion due to the vast difference between their age and experience. It's like a 10 year old telling World War Veteran - Why couldn't you be just friends... So even though I likeed it a bit, I am not fully satisfied.
@@randomstranger4314 It makes sense when you consider Aang was his best friend and went missing, which taught him not to rely on your friends. They might disappear when you need them most, though him being White Lotus later goes against the idea that he’s unwilling to make allies.
IDK why but I love that Earth Bending move at 2:22 , also Bumi regardless of cartoon or live action can still kick @ss and enjoyed both versions of him
People be complaining about how Bumi isnt like the animation when Im just appreciating how well they managed to portray him. He looks and sounds if not exactly the same then super close to the animation Bumi. Cudos to the actor. Even if this live action lacks some things that the animation had, the special effects and the makeup and costume team deserves a raise.
People aren't complaining about the looks though. The issue is that they did to Bumi what Kennedy did to Luke Skywalker. Turned him into a bitter old man even though Luke will never become like that. Same as Bumi. His character won't give up.
I agree with you. I think they adapted and touched many important story lines, and put them together nicely. In the end, Bumi was great, even if bitter and ended up rekindled with Aang, Jet and freedom fighters story also basically the same, Tao and the mechanists also accomplished the same end goal as the animation. I really don’t get all the criticism.
I agree with this. Ultimately one of the things that I feared for the live action was that they would stick too close to the animated series, this is because ultimately the format, the characters, the way its set up is to be an family-friendly cartoon that you could just tune into. That meant that really I didn't think the live action would fare well if it stuck too close to the animated series, and alongside that I was afraid I'd get 'bored' if it was just simply a rerun of the animated series.
I've only got up to 'Spirited Away' and I do love what they've done with this live action, its been changed enough that its like rewatching the ATLA Animated Series all over again for the first time but close enough to the original that it still feels familiar. The story has been really good so far and I think they've done a great job in making ATLA more 'adult' and 'serious' while also still allowing the setting and characters to align with how they were in the animated series. CGI and worldbuilding is great too.
Honestly, I was really prepared for the worst with the live action remake, but its actually been really, really good and its blew my expectations out of the water.
Bumi is still wild, funny, and unpredictable. A little more hostile at times but ultimately loved Aang and wanted to show him the adversity he would face. He lost a little bit of faith but quickly regained it once Aang proved him wrong. Ended Aangs visit by sledding down the shoot for old times sake. Still good and pretty close to original for the most part.
It makes sense that Bumi, someone who lived through the actual beginning of the war and awaited for the Avatar, would be a exactly how he was portrait, excited, upset, distrustful, hopeful, all at once.
honestly I saw the criticism about bumi before going in the show. After watching the show, I'm fine with what they've done with Bumi, only because they done a great job with the costume, looks and the actor did a great job with Bumis voice and mannerism, minus the childish bits of insanity from the animation.
Netflix version of bumi makes sense contextually to the story and the main thing is he is still teaching the avatar about making hard choices, but in the end able to see Aang as his friend again.
Agreed i feel we gonna see him again when he take back omashu i cant wait when he solo all of them. And join the white lotus
naw
@@jahlorise yaw
Yep. Bumi Netflix version make more sense than in the cartoon. If this live actions 100% just like in the cartoon, it will look cringe.
@@kelvincostner7775 not at all a wize old man holding resentment for a kid/ friend who he thought was dead along with his entire culture.... That's immature and a horrible writing
I was initially worried about how Netflix would depict Bumi in the show, but his scenes surprisingly became some of my favorites to rewatch. I even like the small changes they did to his character.
small lol
sure. did you know that there is also no war in ba sing se?
For me the worst part is seeing Bumi defeated. Like he's supposed to be OP af. In the original he didn't lose, he just gave up without fighting. Here it looks like Azula kicked his ass, it's so sad
Kicked his ass repeatedly. Unless he put up some fight for a ruse. I said "Holy Shit" when I saw they had him in metal shoes to prevent him from touching earth.
As big fan growing up with the original show.. I am willing to give this version a chance..
I mean..its better then the movie...you have to at least give it that
man, i'm an og fan too, and i really liked this show, especially the expanded dynamics between zuko ozai and iroh!
I'm a fan of the original show down to the smaller details, I usually despise live action adaptations of cartoons, and yet I'm seeing this with pleasure (I arrived to ep. 4 so far).
It's not the animated series. With eight 1 hour episodes, they could have remade, scene for scene, the twenty 22 minutes episodes of book one of the original series, and with time to spare. But they obviously didn't. The events are there, but slightly changed, the timeline is different, events that were separated in the original series happen simultaneously, not to the same people, etc.
All is slightly darker too. There are far less comical reliefs. This is a world that had been through 100 years of war.
But it's a good show.
prepare yourself for eps 5-6, i think this adaptation hit its peak in that episode.@@neutronalchemist3241
its great
"You may be 100 years old but you haven't lived for 100 years"
idk about yall, but for me this version of Bumi just showing what the characters in the series really represent after the 100 years war. Like we all know the original watchers of this series are all adults now, i rlly think that the directors using more straightforward approach to the live series so that we really could get a bit grip of what the war does to the people.
0:55 this what i loved about this bumi. both of them are 112 years old, yet only one LIVE through the war while the other been away from the world
SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN:
I abso;utley HATED how Bumi was revealed to be himself so early.
That sucked the beauty of the animated series was learning his identity was an exciting surprise
@@kaizen_overcall exactly ! Like I didn’t want it to be beat-for-beat, but Aang meets him and a few seconds later goes “Hi Bumi” 🤦🏻♂️ such a big moment wasted
It makes more sense than in the cartoon, everyone in Omashu knows the King’s name is Bumi. The cartoon’s reveal is cheap and unrealistic. Aang could’ve learned Bumi was King as soon as he stepped into the city.
Important announcement I hate something the end 🥱♻️
@@theimmitigableone8056 how would he realize it just from entering Omashu? Also, literally everybody else Aang knew from 100 years ago is dead…..
Look, dude, how is this guy the husband from Ghosts? Give the makeup team an Emmy for that.
Some people may have issues with it but I don’t mind how the Netflix Show adapted Bumis character, the Netflix Show takes on different themes of friendship and the impacts of war on the world and Bumi is the culmination of this, he represents both of these aspects and is a more realistic depiction of how someone would act in a war, he’s not a bitter old man, he’s someone who’s experience the brutal tragedy of war and has to think of more than himself as a leader.
Cant wait to see Bumi back, in the order of white lotus. ❤
Bumi was a highlight, same quirks as the cartoon yet far more realistic and impactful.
I like both versions
Same to be honest.
Well, I’m wondering about is how they will do interaction between Sokka’s master and King Bumi considering this what I see is a more realistic approach to how war changes people. I hope it’s a really good interaction
Live action not nearly as good as
because of people like you quality of novadays movies so low
@@Rafbick I was never an Netflix dude and Avatar Netflix is actually my very first series on Netflix but i like how Bumi is more a dark and realistic and crazy figure here
And this comes from a guy, who watched every og Avatar episodes
I like this Bumi. You can see the pain he has had to live with. The horrible decisions he has had to make.
And the fact he was willing to show Aang that there might not be any GOOD choices on his path.
That’s what always annoyed me about Aang in the Animated Series. He put the entire world at risk searching for the best option that aligned with his morals to stop the war. Sure it worked, but real life is rarely that kind.
The horror of war is real in avatar series but toned down because of kids show. in this, this is realistic. can you imagine an entire race has been wiped out, many got killed just for the sake of fire nation, bumi has lived trough it for one hundred years, and you expect him to goofy ahh old man? ofc he's bitter
Well... Yeah? Bumi was upset that Aang left, just like everyone was. But in the end he was just happy to see him after 100 years. Bumi's part of the White Lotus for Pete's sake! Who are some of the most philosophical and greatest bending minds in the world.
@@JustaLamborghiniCountachWhoCom oh he is happy to see him back. but still one hundred years of war will left an impact, he's no longer a boy aang know
Thats what i dont get as well. Imagine fire nation your enemy who slaying everyone in their path, but in this series, they talk with fire nation like they know each other. It looked very childish, even more than the animation.
When you're 110 years old, you don't give a flying fuck anymore. It's like he has the mind of the middle age man here. Remember, he's at war with the Fire Lords not the whole Fire Nation.
And don't give me that crap that the animated series toned down the results of conquest and war, Roku threatened to END his only best friend because of his conquest. Chin the Conqueror was ENDED by Kyoshi, etc. So what they're gonna do next? Let Monk Gyatso be a murderous thug because reasons?
The horror of war is a thousand times better done and more mature in the original than this supposedly mature series.
Love the "let it fall." Bumi is a wild one 😆
damn bro how do you get your video qualities so good
steal it on netflix of course
The reason why I love this bumi is same reason I love the netflix show. It showed more realism. This bumi is a person that spend 100 years surviving and making all the hard decisions to keep his people safe. And his test with and was also to tell ang how he suffered but also to prepare him for the worst that war brings
I actually liked this version of Bumi. I might even prefer it over the animated version.
The reason why I like the animated bumi more is how he talked to aang about sensitive topics, without making it seem like he's talking to an adult, he understands that aang is still a child, and how big his job is at a young age
I understand why everyone is upset about Bumis character, but the lesson was taught. With less episodes than the cartoon it’s easy to not realize what the world has been feeling without the avatar, Bumi drives the point that a lot of no name citizens do throughout. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but it makes sense.
Nah, they should've just built on the series. They should've just shown parts that didn't make it to the original. They completely changed the morals of most characters to the point that the story doesn't make sense with the characters' personalities. My nephew watched it with me and kept bringing up inconsistencies about how the characters do one thing and then act another way for no reason. I can't unsee it now
Could u give examples please of how this show is inconsistent..js wanna have a nice debate and conversation
That’s with every live action, they change the characters and story a bit or else people would be nagging about how it’s useless to do a live action when it’s exactly the same as the animation version or book version. Luckily this Netflix show still keeps a lot of the animation! Just a bit more realistic : Bumi becoming more filled with anger because the avatar abandoned everyone therefore the fire nation destroyed a lot of everyone.
I actually disagree. Every character gets thrown into the story in a different way now but they all still have the same premise. Jet is still a freedom fighter. Aang is still free spirited. Iroh is still wise and sympathetic. Zuko is still melodramatic and broken. Azula is still a cunning smartass with ulterior motives. Bumi even. He's still that goofy king who has a sorta aloof attitude. Just more realistic now. And idk about you man but they totally did build on the series. Like the air nomad ambush and Katara's mother getting charred. And how Sokka's father felt about him after his first trial of becoming a warrior. We also get to see how Azula comes to be with her blue flames now. Lots of stuff they're building off of from the og.
No, this isn't a remake, it's an adaptation, with different characters built on the same idea. Aang in here is not Aang of the show, the same with Zuko, Katara, Sokka or Bumi.
Get over yourself
@@Aurriliia Like when Aang says he wants to "goof off" and "he's just a kid", but the show makes him too serious. Even in this Bumi episode, there were inconsistencies.
I am okay with the more realistic take on Bumi. It's different and works. For me.
He is still silly and goofy
But resentful
I'm not okay with it. It being different is why it doesn't work. For me.
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah but think about having to be a king and being 100 years old you can get grumpy
@@TheStraightestWhitestit's great you're not in charge then.
I love the quotes in this video. Hits so much deeper than the animated version and dont get me wrong the animated fight I think is still far better. They could of gotten a more jacked man to play bumi considering he was pretty swole in the anime.
Though I like anime Bumi, Live action Bumi is far more realistic for me.. if you lived for more than 100 years fighting in war, making hard decision so that your kingdom survives, despite "thinking outside the box", will literally drive you mad.
If we fell in love with the animated series storyline, just give us that storyline
My thoughts exactly. If you wanted to do something new there's a lot of different stories as the Kyoshi one, if they loved the scene of kyoshi so much.
@@orianaguzman3983 Period.
Then why not just rewatch the animated show?
@@user-zj8vg3of8x Believe me, I've done that like 5 times, and I'll continue to do it. My children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will watch it. If lizards did a remake, I'll watch it. If cockroaches did a remake, I'll watch it. But...... just sick to the storyline.
I prefer this change.. cause if they follow everything from the original, then why make a new one? And I believe they made good choices to squeeze in 8eps. At least the ones the removed and patched made sense.. specially on the mechanist, and jet part..
King Bumi is funny. The actor did an awesome job.
Boomi never lost hope. He was just waiting for Aang to return. And his whole attack on Aang was an act to teach him a lesson in combat.
Aang doesn’t start off as a hero. He becomes one.
And Boomi taking back his city was one of the best scenes.
I appreciate this change to Bumi.
Its not a cartoon. Its live action. The original audience are all adults now.
Certain silly things that work in a cartoon, look ridiculous in live-action.
Like a country leader on the losing side of a war, being goofy.
Bumi's lecture to Aang about the realities of war and hard choices like choosing who to give rations to, was necessary
This exactly
excatly! if cartoon bumi was in the live-action 1:1 copy, he'll look out of place and it'll be jarring.
nobody wants an excact copy. we want the same characters adapted into the real world. You don't have to put in every line and also most scenes with the extreme close up laughing of bumi won't work, but you could still depict the same character. I am really tired of people talking when they have don't know. @@TheVisionaryLeo
Bumi is one of the best changes Netflix did in Live-action. Hear me out. The guy is 112 years old, he's seen the entire war, his friend, the only person capable of stopping the fire nation disappeared and didn't help. Becoming bitter and angry because of that is absolutely understandable and makes sense.
From a story telling perspective, Aang being accused of running away from his duties not by some random fisherman but by his friend from the time before the iceberg is so much more impactful. Bumi maintained his madness and weirdness while becoming a more darker version of himself. I have zero problem with this change
thank you. finally someone said it. This show is not a cartoon. This live adaptation shows the real horrors of war and to think Bumi has seen it for hundred years. War changes people, especially to a King.
i agree. this is the only time i disagree hard on charlie. the exposition of gran gran in the beginning is only reasonable in the context of the story.
one of the best additions imo is with zuko ozai and iroh dynamics, especially the aftermath of agni kai, the 41st division really hits me hard.
Every single word you just said is wrong, man.
Bumi was a clear example of the resilience of earth benders, keeping his spirit even through the war and becoming a wise yet nutty old man that is capable of teaching the avatar.
They ruined Bumi.
Not to mention the stupid trend of spoon feeding everything to the audience and ruining every single reveal in the show.
@@JaviusSama that's just your subjective opinion.
I understand where you're coming from though, I just don't feel the same.
Ok hear me out ik this show is a mixed bag but bumi was done really well. Its more seriously toned but in bumis mind this is what would push aang to understand he needs to fight.
I like how they turn him into a bit more bitter since it makes way more sense and is also realistic which is a part of what a live action is supposed to be
just notice that "Bumi" is actually spell as "BUMI" which mean earth in malay/indonesian language🤭
Bhoomi means earth in Hindi as well
Bumi means earth in Indian languages. Malay and Indonesia got it from the chola empire and other Indian dynasties
Two things to retain, for people who saw the original (like me) and those who don't know if they should give it a shot: this isn't an exact copy of the original show, and of course the bending isn't as good, it's not a cartoon
Lmao bruh. I already know it’s not the same thing. And I think the bending is good over all. And the excuse of it not being a cartoon is a bad one.
@@jingleballs9935 It really isn't when there are some things which can easily work in animation than live action.
its also dogshit writing
I think this change is ok, cause he has been through a 100 years of war. I just don't like that Aang recognize Bumi too soon.
Yea I can agree😊
"Some of us have to fight even when we don't want to, that's what it means to be in a war" said by the same guy who hung out in a box for most of the show waiting for the right time
I liked the Live Action. They did it justice over the movie. Of course there is some improvement and realistically it's a challenge to adapt animation in live action.
I tried to like the movie, but dam. This version at least repaired some of the damage.
In the original show, Aang didn’t find out the king was Bumi until after he completed all the challenges.
That's too real buddy ..too real.. *Me going back to the animated version for fun times and to escape realism and espresso depresso*
🙂👍
I dont care what other people's opinion about live action Bumi. This Bumi is resentful with Aang not being there for him and I understand. Playful Bumi is still in there and thats why I still enjoyed this version of Bumi.
I hope Netflix shows us where he reclaims his kingdom under 8 mins
I loved this version of King Bumi. Although he's mostly true to the original, he's also a darker version as well. I get why he was so hard on Aang. He took Aang's running away pretty personally, and he never got over. Even after 100 years. And you can see that from Utkarsh's performance.
The netflix bumi is way wiser and more honest than the animated
Not gonna lie. I like the Netflix bumi a bit more than the animated one. And im 28 i grew up with this series. Like they mixed the fisher man with him. Plus i got a feeling that we are gonna get the silly version later on.
I agree. I always had the feeling (even in the original) that Bumi is a lot shadier than he shows. His soldiers respected him for some reason, despite his weird stuff. His city was standing after a hundred years. He literally tricked his own men, to give himself a chance to take back the city at some point. I always felt like he was a very morally grey character, we just didn't see it, because this wouldn't have been possible for a simply good and kind of mad king. I loved that here, they spelled it out, and showed that his madness was partly his genius, yes - but partly him cracking under pressure after a literal century of fighting.
Aang was a child then and a child now, you cant teach about making hard choices and sacrifice to a kid and thats where the netflix failed to realize the reality. Its not even contextually correct.
This is the Bumi in Aang's dream being disappointed on his bff
I like how bumi is in Netflix it show how war can make u r break u,n not b a coward n run away to b in iceberg
I like the changes to Bumis character, it makes alot more sense he became so bitter and its fun to see him gain back his childhood fun with the return of an old friend.
I don't see hatred towards Aang. Just resentment and Bumi didn't know the context behind why Aang was in that iceberg. Old people are not monolithic. So many complained about Katara and Toph not fighting in The Legend of Korra but old age isn't kind to everyone and they were older than the White Lotus masters when they liberated Ba Sing Se. So many have issues with how Bumi was portrayed but not all elderly are going to be joyful, especially if they've lived through war. I've seen the most hateful and misanthropic in the elderly but I think it's about the state of the world that so many are reminded of and they hate it. Ultimately Bumi had to make hard and difficult choices and wanted to show Aang he'll have to as well.
They cut so much in omashu
And bumi vs aang is underwhelming, they also made bumi a bitter old man now
Making Bumi losing Omashu not under his own terms ticks me off.
i love that live action, and the cabbage thing 🤣, I'm hoping for season 2 and 3, i want to see who will cast badass toph, i hope netflix will make live action also of the Legend of Korra after they finish the Avatar the last airbender.
So, im guessing this is the reality check that aang would have gotten in the episode the storm from og series, where he gets called out as the avatar and being absent during this time.
Im guessing they oppted to skip that ep so had Aangs old friend call him out since he would experience then horrors of war while aang was absent. Its a decent scene in anything else but my gawd, King Boomy and his intro ep was a huge fav in the fandom and sets up big events in the future.
They kept alot of his personality but then feels like a whole different character took over in between scenes.
Visuals and costume design and casting choice were good. Guy looks really close to boomie and in the pieces where he is playful and jokey it stand out that this could have been a near perfect rep.
Absolutely disagree with critics for this Bumi. Did u watch the same serial that I do?lol I don't think so
Here he is a genius too and they open this theme very well - from episode with him I'm clearly understood why he become mad, it gives me goosebumps. The incredibly beautiful disclosure of his inner dialogue is a wonderful embodiment in appearance (as if he came out of 2d) this Bumi is beautiful as well as in the animated series
Next time try to learn correct grammar before using complex words

BUMI adalah bahasa kita INDONESIA❤❤❤
matur suwun mas brooo🙏🙏🙏
Honestly I don't kinda like this Bumi. A younger Bumi before joining the white lotus will definitely blame Aang from running away from his responsibility, but an old Bumi realized that Aang running away is a blessing in disguise for himself and the world, including the fire nation.
If Aang stayed, he would most likely die and the next avatar will lose the chance to learn and master airbending. Even if Aang did survived, that will result in a potentially berserk avatar that will stop at nothing from destroying the fire nation.
I didnt like that they immediately revealed his true identity. In the series it was hidden until they surprised us; thats what made it more exciting too.
The people who made this live action show were removed from the original animated avatar team for having to many creative differences . So anyone expecting this to be like the animated needs to reevaluate their expectations .
Correction: They left.
They left because they wanted to deviate from the original and explore new ideas, but Netflix said no... keep to the original as much as possible. Props to Netflix for sticking up for the animated fans.
I can see why everyone is disliking the show so far, but i honestly think it does a fantastic job of improving characters with specific moments. I loved the wake scene between zuko and iroh, and with bumi i liked the new message he had for aang. With how serious and deadly the firenation is, bumi showed that while he was having a little fun with the challenges, aang has to catch up on 100 years of survival tactics that the whole world developed. I do miss the cooky sage vibe of the cartoon, but i wasnt disappointed with the new message.
There's literally nothing wrong with the show, in fact I would say it is great. It's successfully brought the ATLA Universe into a more 'serious' and 'adult' light and has been able to tell the story in a way that it's familiar but isn't a one and one copy, which makes me happy because its almost like rewatching the original again.
The people who are complaining really are those who like to complain about everything. The Netflix Series is an adaptation, not a remaster or remake, also if they kept the characters even more 'true' to how they were in the cartoon then the live action series would just be cringy and that was originally my greatest fear about it, because although ATLA is a smashing animated cartoon that is ultimately made for children as its target audience, the way the ATLA Universe was represented in the cartoon, from the setting to the characters, would have been pretty cringeworthy in a live action context. Let's be honest though, if it followed exactly along the same lines as the animated series then the same people complaining about minute character and setting differences now would be complaining about a lack of such if it followed closer to the animated series.
The version is more realistic
I agree this gives Bumi an actual motive to stop Aang so that he can teach him to grow up as well as learn to deal with difficult choices.
I personally did not like this Bumi. I grew up with Avatar and watched the episodes as they originally premiered. Bumi was my favorite character. I keep seeing the argument being made “Netflix Bumi is fine because it shows the reality of war” but I think this viewpoint totally misunderstands the character of Bumi.
Bumi is meant to be a wise teacher who through his experiences and advanced age, teaches Aang literally the skill of mastering patience. Bumi’s entire story line in the “Return to Omashu” episode is about this very teaching ideal of learning the skill of listening and waiting and striking at the right moment.
When we compare this to show Bumi, his character ideals are entirely ruined. This Bumi wasn’t tempered by time but destroyed by it. Show Bumi wasn’t resilient and wasn’t the master of patience like he was in the show but instead fell into despair. Sure this might be a so-called realistic approach but this approach took away the very foundation that made the character. I understand in the end this is Netflix’s adaption but to me it felt like Bumi had nothing to teach Aang, which was meant to be his entire purpose.
You know what I think, I think they combined him with the personality of that old guy from that storm episode
People say this is not cartoon accurate Bumi but to me he acts like Jeong jeong which really is not out of character to a war veteran who have seen it all.
They made the story of Omashu about two Women lovers, even though its already a tale of female empowerment and change in the animated version. Wtf Netflix.
No wonder the original creators left this show lol
They never leave because of creative differences. They left because they have other plans for the Avatar universe. They literally at premiere of seeing episode 1 of the live action.
they said its bc of creative differences tho @@jesuswasnotsinless1065
I love the Omashu episode! I love this live-action series. Did they show Ba-sing-se in the series?
Ну вот вроде всё неплохо, со всем готов смириться, но изменение сюжета на ровном месте - нет. Буми в оригинале никогда не злился на Аанга, а так же Аанг далеко не сразу узнал своего старого друга, который и решил его разыграть с помощью некоторых испытаний, последним из которых было - назвать его имя, которое тот не называл...
They turned Bumi into Luke “Jake” Skywalker from The Last Jedi. What a freaking joke. Just awful. No wonder Knitzko and DiMartino got irritated & left.
Oh look, they delete the fun reveal of who King Bumi really is. And again the bending is still bad.
I hated this episode the most. 1, they didnt meet Jet at Omashu, 2, uncle and zuko wasnt there, 3, the mechanist wasnt EVER in Omashu, he was at the northern air temple, etc... i could keep going, but you get my point-there are too many changes. The original creaters left the show for good reason, and it shows.
and haru wasn't even in the show
@@evilmiaevils6092 exactly. I hate all the changes. I mean, I understand the changes that needed to be made coming from animation to live action, but some critical plot changes are too much for me.
This episode almost made me quit watching. I stuck it out but my God was it painful.
Eccentric, wise and understanding old man to bitter old man who blames a child.
cant blame bumi,
Poor bumi, they slaugthered him in the series. One of the worst changes
Not too much but as a fan of Bumi I get your point. They could've done what they wanted to do without making Bumi cynic and gloomy by making all this part of Bumi's test to both prepare Aang and give him a big reality check sort of thing. Hope they get his best self in the next season.
@@varalakshmiyarraji7064 Bumi is a member of the white lotus. You have to be both a formidable warrior and wise sage to be part of such an elite force. This bumi has the wisdom of an apple
I think this version of airbender was actualy good, a lot of the time things get ruined but it was done quite well i thought
Bumi's quirks made sense in the animated version.
He never let go of his childish wonder. Thinking outside the box solutions probably what made him king and a great earth bender.
In his core Aang is an airbender, a pacifist, carries it with more weight than anything especially when he learns he is the last. Bumi giving the mad genius advice to Aang is important for he is given a path in which to fulfill your duty while sticking to your morals. How would you do it? By thinking like a mad genius. Hahaha
They did Bumi awesome! Was so impressed with this
They turned Bumi into shit. In OG series he was wise powerful earthbebder king, acting somewhat crazy yet still funny. Here, he’s just some really unhinged old farting man hating on everything, on Aang, and contributing nothing.
these edits are epic
Bumi = Earth = Elemental
Geez these clowns changed everything.
Exactly just terrible
@@doctordl7757 if you get spoon fed the same shit you already watch what will be the difference just the same version but less fun to watch have y’all ever directed a movie before and wrote the story line it’s a great show for what it is and plus it’s the 1st season
@@Chaadudehave you?
@@Chaadude well it's called live action and not reality action to be new. We watch it for the animation and nothing else. You wouldn't be creating live action of a cartoon if it was not a hit already.
@@fazer79 my point still stands there adding onto the story just getting the same thing that’s worse seems dumb
Yikes the dialogue is so clunky and baddd…
Did nobody teach these writers “show, don’t tell”?
Try writing a show 😂
A like the series version of Bumi and their relationship with Aang ❤
Well like he said, after bearing the burden of making tough decisions everyday for earth nation more than 100 years, he is weary & grumpy and lost most of his innocence as a kid😬
