i kinda understand why bumi was more mad than playful, as he say he lived for 100 years and its just been 100 years of war, i mean that must change a person a bit lmao.
The scene between Iroh and Zuko was unexpected but very much welcome... But when that song played, I lost all composure and just cried. If season 1 did this much to fans, season 2 and *THAAT* episode will have us all bawling
You know, I just realized the way they treated the badger mole scene actually provides an explanation of how Wu was able to tame them in Korra. Or, rather, corroborated what they showed about badger moles in Korra.
Ok, the NATLA writers have to decide what their target audience is because after this episode it's clear they have no idea.
In the previous episodes, they inserted a loot of things that new fans would struggle to understand and appreciate, while old fans would get and kinda appreciate.
In this episode they did the opposite: for a new fan who never watched the show and doesn't know OG Bumi, this Bumi is a good, complex character who you can relate to. For an OG fan, though, this is basically a spit in the face.
Having said that, Lu Ten's funeral scene was... WOW, I don't have enough praises to give to that scene. Whoever wrote it deserves a raise just for that. It was intense, beautiful, sad and full of passion.
I can tell you right now who their target audience is. They are going for the audience that is older than the audience of the animated show (like young adults) yet for some reason dumber than the audience of the animated show. Like they are trying to insert things that are supposed to be “mature” but it turns out to be way more childish than the themes that were present in the OG show to a point where it feels like they are trying to insult viewers’ intelligence.
I enjoyed the new bumi as someone who watched atla from the day it first aired. The cartoon bumi makes no sense after 100 years of war and only excused if you call crazy or insane
@@2011carp I agree with you.
@@2011carp Then you didn't really understand Bumi lol. That's okay though.
@@joshiesushi I guess you're still reminiscent on nostalgia. It's ok though
I think having Bumi tell his name early on was perfect. It represented real life. Bumi's laugh is distinguishable and Aang would right away tell from it. Also, you have to focus that Bumi was alive for 100 years of War that he fought to keep his city safe while the entire world collapsed. The Netflix version represented that. The original was great but it was cartoonish and enjoyable tho.
No, 100 years of aging can make it hard to tell who someone is.
I will never understand why they did my boy Bumi like this. Also, the wake scene music is actually the instrumental for 'Leaves from the Vines'. The song Iroh wound always sing his son. I was DESTROYED. Zuko's conversation with Iroh during the funeral had me tearing up too. After Zhao only acknowledged him as a soldier, we see just how much humanity Zuko has by acknowledging him as a person.
Tbh I feel like this arc for Bumi isn’t as bad as people say it is. I feel like it could’ve been executed better but I actually like Bumi for the most part in this.
Bro (Bumi) was pretty badly mischaracterized.
@@TheAangGang he looks and talks the part. The casting was great, it’s more how he’s fundamentally different than he was in the show, bro is a different character
@@jaceclarke6139literally not even the same character. This isn’t the man that could teach Aang about neutral jing and definitely isn’t the man who he’d name his first born after 💀
@@uhohmykokoro1616I'm curious how they'll spin Bumi into a wise White Lotus master.
Anyone else notice Omashu has a lot more Indian and Arabian influence in the clothing and architecture? Not really complaining I think it's a cool aesthetic and helps Omashu feel distinct from the rest of the Earth Kingdom. Which kinda fits since Bumi is the King of this city, in spite of the fact that there is an Earth King.
Didn't the lights lead the way because they turned off the lights and NOT because they kissed?
yall will prob never see this but like its so sureal to me i saw yalls first avatar reaction a year ago stuck through being so excited every release day to watch ur vids while skipping my second period and now yall r watching the live action and u refer to montana as ur wife it truly is beautiful to me
So glad you enjoyed that avatar series! We often look back on it fondly, thanks for all the support! And my wife is pretty awesome, love calling her that 🥰🥰🥰
OK so I'm a bit mixed on Bumi.
First off, on the subject of Aang figuring out it's Bumi right away, I've heard some people who have watched the OG show as adults say that the twist that Bumi is the old king is pretty obvious, so the writers here probably wanted to do something different here. At least that was my theory, I don't know what went on when they made that decision.
Anyway, as for Bumi's character here; on the one hand I get that he's a little bitter. Like he said, he's been fighting this war for 100 years, the world he and Aang used to share no longer exists and he's had to make hard decisions as a leader. If you were the leader of a large city and it was your responsibility to protect and lead it for 100 YEARS, that can really change a person. In a vacuum I also understand the lesson he's trying to teach. As the Avatar, Aang will have to make hard decisions and people are counting on him. The problem is that these lessons conflict with the larger context of the show at the moment.
- For starters, Aang made it clear he needs to reach the Northern Water Tribe to prevent another tragedy from occurring and Bumi is holding him up. "It's nothing but games with you Aang." "Bumi, I'm literally trying to save an entire nation here man!" Like, if Aang was just being playful and not taking the situation or his job as the Avatar seriously, then Bumi's temper might be a bit more understandable but sometimes it felt a little off.
- In this adaptation Aang didn't run away, he left for a moment to clear his head with full intention of coming back but he got caught in the storm while his people were wiped out simultaneously. So, when people say he "abandoned the world" or stuff like that, it doesn't hold as much weight.
- Also, small nitpick but I figured him offering Aang a meat dish and a vegetarian dish was him testing to see if it was Aang (or at the very least a true Air Nomad) but if he knew that already, it just seems out of place.
So yeah, I don't HATE what they did with Bumi but I will say I think that he could have been written a lot better. My problem isn't that they changed Bumi's character, my problem is that the changes they made feel odd in context of everything else we've seen in this adaptation so far.
The 1 thing I will admit I did not like about this show was the way they changed Bumi. I get why they went the route they did with his character, but he was so likeable & funny in the original series yet he feels like a different character here. Also, while I wasn't upset that we got the hippies in the show, I was confused as to why they included them in Season 1 over Haru & the prison or firebending with Jeong Jeong.
Bumi was great in this and the character made way more sense here. Odds are they wanted to move Haru to season 2 because they wanted to include it with the rest of the earth kingdom stories.
I always thought that the whole episode giving bumi back his hope bring back the fun loving side of his youth
Bumi being angry after all of these years dealing with war kind of makes sense. Living 100 years of war would make him bitter.
Right like this here is so true. Like come on now people what it just like the animation but this is more realistic. Like this is literally what war does to people
I was really thrown by the depiction of Bumi but by the end of it I really thought about it and... it totally makes sense. Bumi had to make loads of terrible, no win decisions. For a century.
oof
That was Bumi's whole appeal as a character though. Even in the face of a full scale invasion of his kingdom he kept his cool and jovial self. He didn't live a hundred years by anxious and shortsighted. The world couldn't change him. That's who he is.
You're forgetting that Sokka and the hippies also made it through the tunnels without kissing. Same episode.
Iroh carrying this episode with these scenes, and the earth kingdom soldier also did a great part. Making Iroh a more layered character we knowing he is good now, but how he was before and what was the thing that make such an impact on him that forced him to change.
I can understand the rationale behind wanting to give a different view of Bumi and I can understand him being jaded and like hurt that Aang disappeared and caused the suffering of people worldwide but I feel like this change just isn’t enjoyable and doesn’t endear you to Bumi like in the original
I think that the writters decided to truly embrace the impact that war has on everyone, especially one that lasts for 100 years. Even if the live-action is similar in story to the OG version, it is completely different. The OG version does a wonderful job portraiting war... considering it's kid show. But the live-action is more mature, so it dwells on the real darkness of war. I guess it is logical they decided to remove most of the light-hearted traits in things and character. Bumi, in the OG show, was the mad yet genius king that was able to keep his inner child. However, live-action Bumi was shapped by the heavy responsability of being the leader of one of the two Earth Kingdom strongholds that keep resisting the Fire Nation, a responsability that crushed his will and hope, turning him cynnical while keeping his madness we so love. I am not saying I like it, but I understand why they decided to make him like that. Even Omashu is not like the OG show, being more somber, especially if we consider the psychological war used by the Fire Nation to break the city from within.
I do like that when bumi tell ang he was in a iceberg he holding iceberg lettuce
In the animated series Bumi tells Aang to find someone who waits and listens to be his earthbending teacher. He understands the significance of patience and waiting (he doesn’t fight back when Omashu gets taken over by Azula). Aang being away for 100 years and returning wouldn’t have left Bumi bitter, to him it was “perfect timing”. Just my own interpretation.
I don't think he would see it as perfect timing. That would mean that the perfect time is waiting until all the southern waterbenders have been either captured or killed and the Earth Kingdom is barely holding back the Fire Nation, and Sozin's comet is months away. I don't think Bumi would view that as "perfect timing", more of a "just in time".
@@nathanielreik6617 good point! I like that.
@@nathanielreik6617I still think it's perfect timing. Had Aang been defrosted earlier, he wouldn't have met the friends he needed to eventually end the war. Not to mention Toph being probably the strongest ally he has wouldn't have been born if Aang returned earlier. If he didn't freeze, he probably would've died too.
If he came back later, then the earth kingdom will be demolished. Not to mention Zuko had to be in the position he was. I think in every aspect it was indeed perfect timing that he came back when he did. And I think Bumi knew that in a way.
I know om in the minority but I really liked what they did with Bumis character...it made it a lot more grounded and realistic for someone of bumis age to be bitter IMO
As a fellow person on the unpopular opinion side, I completely agree. ✨❤️
I also liked it…I’m not saying I liked it more the the OG…but I liked that in this version there was an air of resentment. To Bumi this was Aang’s responsibility and he disappeared and left Bumi to deal with it for the last 100 years.
But that's the whole point: media are full of old, wise and/or bitter people who only talk and focus on their responsibilities. Bumi was a breath of fresh air. He was a mad genius who enjoyed life at its fullest even as an old man.
Dude literally is the master of neutral jing. Not to mention he is at the time the strongest earth bender. He was both patient and stubborn and no, the 100 year war was not changing his personality. He stayed the exact same. He didn't break. This Bumi did. He isn't Bumi. And that is alright, if the writers actually fully committed. I was actually down to see a darker Bumi, but the show runners couldn't decide to either commit or please the old fans, so they just mashed a bunch of ideas together.
Idk I feel like it would have been strange with kataang. Like in the show the age gap is forgotten but with real kids the actual age I think it would have been a little uncomfy
Also the actress who plays Katara is older than Katara was in the show (almost 17 at the time) while Aang's actor was about the same age as Aang. Almost 5 year age gap is a lot bigger than about 2 years, especially at that age.
@@nathanielreik6617 100% agree. Honestly kataang even animated is a little weird if you think about it to hard. And you can’t not think about it with those two actors
@@evalineflamer996 I mean a couple more years and a 2 year age gap isn't that weird. 5 takes more than a few years. 18 and 20 year olds together not that weird and definitely less weird than 18 and 23 year olds.
@@nathanielreik6617 but theoretically he could be in 7th grade and she could be a freshman in high school
@@evalineflamer996 And then in 3 more years he'd be a sophomore in high school and she'd be a senior. One of my friends in high school had that kind of relationship when we were seniors.
Given the the tonal shift towards the themes of war and separation, I expected Bumi to be one of the larger changes made, and I can understand why many viewers object to that change.
This is a show about war. The cartoon involves a war, but its fun and sanitized for the kiddies. Here, characters exist in a horrific and bloody world and im all for it. You cant have cartoon Bumi exist in is world, especially after the last episode where they have terrorists bombings in his own city. He's a world leader, who had to make difficult decisions for his people. In fact if he was sitting around making quips all day, he'd come off as incredibly insensitive. I like this version.
I like the really subtle detail of them making both Oma and Shu women. I had to rewind when I first watched it because I wasn’t sure if I’d just misheard when both were referred to as “she” but nope, I heard right!
I'm glad someone mentioned this. I remember when I watched it I also had to rewind to double check, and I had subtitles on. Its such a small change, but I like it and it lines up with the backstory that's been given for the Earth Kingdom and their attitude towards same sex couples.
I cannot and will not understand the dumb fucking arguments in the comments about how it was good that they didn't hint or imply any romance between Aang and Katara because of the actors ages.
Or that they thought the romance in the original show was "Creepy" or "icky" because Aang was 12 and Katara was 14.
You all are so weird. Just facts.
I think the white lotus piece is more an homage. I can’t see Iroh and Bumi being part of the same secret society much less friends. We know the sweet uncle Iroh from the cartoon, but he was, and especially in this series, general of the fire nation army that was waging a genocidal war against the rest of the world. He is a war criminal 😳
About Kataang, one, Aang looks way to young for Katara, and two, they haven’t even established he has a crush on her. These kids are going to age at least three more years before they finish season 3 (they’re already 2 years older from when they filmed this season). They have time to do the romance.
Where they flopped w/ Bumi I think is that they tried to make him more like Jeong-Jeong because they cut so much out...
Something I've always wondered is how Bumi is still alive even thow he looks no older than ang in the flashback.
Ang was frozen in ice for 100 years, and Kioshi used the healing power of water bending to live for i think over 200 years, so wtf happened to Bumi.
Living for the funeral and ship scenes and their reaction to them
I know people are quick to shit on this show, but there are somethings they do that I think improve apon the story, like most of the Iroh scenes
Awe, they didn't hear the My Cabbages part HAHA
11:41 We'll see. I am honestly okay with any and every change if they go with it somewhere in the upcoming seasons.
For now, it makes sense that Bumi would feel the way he does and that's all that matters to me. Moreover, this is definitely more realistic compared to anything which Bumi did in the actual show.
The problem the writers are trying to negotiate is that real actors, when cast in an age appropriate manner, can't carry the original Katara and Aang story line. In the animation, you can gloss over age differences - Katara can seem like the mother and more mature than Sokka, Aang and Katara can be an item. That's the whole point of animation for kids - to make kids walk in their mothers and fathers shoes, to make them feel like grown ups.
But in live action, with real actors for a more mature audience, that becomes harder to pull off. Aang looks like a kid. Katara is clearly way older than him. Kissing Katara would seem way weird, and borderline unbelievable at this stage. So much of this show is defined by that problem.
The real question is why they kept this Secret Tunnels story line in the first season. In a second season with older actors, it might have worked with Aang and Katara, but the tension between Sokka and Katara is just not quite sufficient to support it as sibling reconciliation. It feel like they were trying to stuff as many Easter Eggs as they could in the first season to appease fans and get Netflix to pick up a second and third season. I kind of have the same feeling about leaves on the vine, though that was a touching sequence.
I generally like the series, but don't get me started on Bumi.
I think the changes to Bumi were a misguided street to make the show more “realistic” and adult by showing that 100 years of war could be draining on people, and showing a darker, grittier side to things. But they changed Bumi to be depressed and cynical, which is absolutely the opposite of his personality in the original, and makes him in likable. Also, in the show he taught Aang to think outside the box (“like a mad genius”), but here Aang really earned nothing from Bumi, while Bumi learned that counting on friends could help with burdens from Aang… which took away Bumi’s wisdom as well. To me this is the worst change they made in the live action by far. Changing details of the plot or of minor characters is ok, but completely changing a major character like Bumi into someone who is no longer admirable or likable is a huge error.
Still love your reactions as always, and this criticism isn’t meant to attack the show as a whole, which has some good points like some of the new details of Iroh and Zuko’s relationship from before the banishment.
Also, I didn’t have the read that you had that Bumi would’ve saved himself if Aang dropped the rocks. It seemed to me that Bumi was legitimately depressed and would’ve accepted his end. Which is so far against his character from the original show that I really disliked that change.
It actually makes more sense that Aang would recognize him right away, and Bumi would have ptsd, when Bumi says, you might be a hundred years old but you haven't lived 100 years, not these 100 years says it all. This really is more realistic to me. But once Aang gets thru to him, I think he's the old Bumi we know and love again
this episode has my favorable and least favorite storylines in the series (up to where I've watched) the bumi storyline was a Mess , like, what were we doing there? XD
but the iroh and zuko storyline was SO well done and the funeral scene pushed me to litteral tears
This episode particularly, suffers from "We 'need' to include things from the original, but we don't want to/can't do the writing around them to make them make sense. So just put them in."
-For whatever reason they didn't have the nomads go into the tunnels, so Sokka couldn't calm the badgermoles with music. "Uuuhhh Katara can sense that the badgermoles read emotions!"
-We want Bumi to do the rock candy bit, but Sokka and Katara aren't with Aang to be captured! "Just make it a booby trap Bumi will walk Aang into!" "But why would he do that?" "He's mad at Aang for not being there to help." "But what do rock candy booby traps have to do with that? Isn't that why they fight at the end?" "We have to do the rock candy bit!!!
-Bumi says the "lettuce leaf" line, we should have him do more food puns! "Have him test whether Aang is still a vegetarian??" "But Aang can just airbend to prove he's himself!??"
LA Aang isn't a goofy kid dodging his responsibilities. He's focused on the becoming the avatar and saving the North Pole! Everyone's berating him for not being the avatar despite the fact that he's trying his damnedest to do just that. They're mad at LA Aang for how cartoon Aang was acting!
Bumi is berating LAang for not doing his job while distracting him from doing his job! Bumi only has a lesson for LAang in the last game AND IT'S WASN'T EVEN INTENTIONAL!! He didn't bring the ceiling down on them on purpose!! If Bumi hadn't wasted LAang's time with his "games", LAang would have been on his way to go do Avatar things!
All of the yelling at LAang for not being the avatar doesn't make good drama, cause he's actively trying to be a good avatar! He's a dumb kid (the character, not the actor) who got caught in a storm flying too low to the ocean (because the plot needed him to get dunked in the water) and everyone is like, "You're a failure for running away! Stop avoiding being the avatar!!! >:(" and he's NOT!
We have to remember that it is an ADAPTATION and that from the beginning we knew that there would be changes. When you stop to think what a hundred years of war can do to someone especially a king who as Bumi himself said had to make impossible choices every day, it makes sense the way they portrayed him here and he still has the spirit of bumi like in animation, the difference is that they are not sugar coding how war can affect people, even the purest ones, like Bumi
Exactly
I think, the original Bumi was perhaps too whimsical for a live action show, so his change makes sense to me, then the point of Katara and Sokka showing up just for the end was to have Aang being helped by his friends to make his own argument against Bumi's. But the siblings' arc in this episode felt a bit forced by the necessity to have them only show up at the end.
I love all of the scenes with Iroh and Zuko in live action the actors nailed everything :D
That scene between Iroh and the Earth Kingdom soldier was hard to watch... especially because it makes us remember that Iroh in the past was a general that brought many victories to the Fire Nation. People that only watch the show and don't take the chance to actually explore the characters outside of it, can never grasp the person Iroh was before losing his son. Despite never being cruel and disliking to hurt others, Iroh actually enjoyed war and had a lust for power and conquest, a side that was well balanced by his pleasant personality and infinite love for his family, especially his son and father. In fact, it took their deaths in a short period of time to make Iroh to lose all his darker traits and completely embrace the easygoing perspetive he now has.
That was so well said. That is also the reason why I didn't enjoy Iroh in this one specific scene. When the soldier confronted him, Iroh "made excuses" like: "I was a soldier. I was following orders. We were at war". I don't think Iroh would ever say that. At least not the Iroh we knew. At most he'd show sympathy or show regret, but never excuse his war mongering past. It doesn't help that they kind of slapped the funeral scene there to make us feel sympathy for the actual war criminal.
I personally loved the funeral scene, but I don't like it being used in this particular scene. It was used to make us go "poor Iroh, he suffered just as much. He is so nice and we love him now", rather than appropriately showing his regret after the soldier's story.
Fun fact: the secret tunnel guy was in the might ducks 2
I like this version of Bumi.
Oh, cool. I found his only fan.
I did too I like both but this one has a more realistic attitude. While in the cartoon is more kid friendly or just makes seem senile.
@@dragonballzgirl297 Great. Now He's like every other person scolding Aang for running away.
Bumi was supposed to be the one person who never let the war get to him, in order to show Aang that he mustn't give up hope.
He now seems even MORE insane and senile, because he's scolding Aang for goofing off on his travels (which doesn't happen in this series. NATLA speed-runs the story way too quick), but then in the next scene, Bumi is playing games with Aang.
Does he want Aang to meet his destiny or does he want him to goof off and be silly with him? His motivations just give such whiplash.
I understand being taken aback by the changes they made to Bumi. I felt the same at first. But the more I thought about it.... Bumi is by far the most "cartoony" character in ATLA. And "cartoony" characters are difficult to do in live action. It can be done, but its difficult to get right. So I think they wanted to take a more grounded, realistic approach to Bumi... have him be a still eccentric but also grumpy old man who has fought in wars and become a little jaded. He's 112 after all. He's entitled to be a grump. They added something to him but still kept his core eccentric personality. And I think it plays off well by the end.
YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS OR RICK AND MORTY (canonically rick and morty is in the same universe as gravity falls)
Fleshing out Zuko and Iroh is probably the best thing the show has done. Other than that, the music really did most of the heavy lifting for me 😂 I don’t think the show really deserves the moments I think they were trying to build up to? Having a cynical Bumi could have really grounded the show since we miss out on the Gaangs adventures to different towns and see the effects the Fire Nation has had. Bumi reality checking Aang could have been impactful for both parties with Aang having to make choices and dealing with the consequences and a hardened Bumi being reminded that joy can cause inspiration for change…but they fumble it soooo bad. 🤣😭 I need some better writing cause Aang and Katara feel so one dimensional while they’re throwing so much on Sokkas character.
To be fair, the one slide is exactly how it would work in real life. They think I it’d be faster then it ends up being slower and you’re like, yeah never doing that again it didn’t work.
Honestly, I think that Aang's actor might have been a tad little too young to kiss a 30 year old like Katara and that's why they went this whole brotherly love lol (or they straight up aren't even going to hook up Katara and Aang). I have always been a fan of zero relationships and getting to the point and to a person like me, this move is not that bad. But if they were going to do something like this to cave of two lovers, why not just not have it or have it be replaced by a newer and better plot. This episode was all over the place tbh.
His every other sentence is original this original that 😂
the scene with the soldier and iroh was this show's ONLY successful attempt of being " more mature " than the og show
I get trying to be more mature but iroh would’ve never responded that way he came off so cold hearted in that scene.
@@rodrigocorrea7857 they seemed to be on board with it by the end of the episode
@@rodrigocorrea7857 Aye, fully agree. Live action iroh is cold and not in a good badass way. Kinda wack that iroh made excuses like "I was a soldier following orders. We were at war". Dude literally led the entire siege.
@@joshiesushi yeah him saying that came off so insensitive and out of character idk how people like that but hey.
Hey, why is a challenge just... walking through a hallway?
For a moment I thought Sokka and Katara are gonna kiss in the Secret tunnel part. What in the Sweet Home Alabama happened to this episode!
Ya’ll need to react to Overanalyzing Avatar
Idc about everyone says but not pushing with Katara and Aang love story as early in the season 1, given the actors' age at that time is pretty decent
Imagine comparing every scene to the original. That would be exhausting
Some changes I like, like making King Bumi a Hindi because it opens up the world.
I think the problem with this show is that it does not have a good grasp with its target audience.
*1. Who is their target audience, ATLA fans or new fans?* They are allowed to make new things and I liked a lot of the new things but they also go the opposite route for some things that fans know at heart which confuses us.
*2. What age is their target audience?* Showing burning bodies already indicates they want a mature audience, yet they keep adding the mushy naive parts that only kids like. Add more hard-hitting scenes like that soldier. This is why we prefer Zuko's scenes in this show cause Aang's scenes are so plain and boring. Just constant guilt tripping a child and his friends come to save the day.
They did bumi so dirty🥲
The funeral scene. Woof.
Tearbending.
'Everything I need is on this boat'
ugly cry
Demon slayer s4 reaction please 🙏🏻
while we're at it
I HATE HATE HATE live action appa
he is JUST a vehicle
no personality , no meaningful scene with aang , no NOTHING
It's live action not animated
@daurydavis3983 well maybe they shouldn't make a live action out of an animated show , if they aren't capable of doing a very important character from the said animated show justice
@@satiramalek2572 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I completely agree that's not who bumi was in the cartoon however this is a completely different adaptation this is a more gritty realistic altered bumi he's not that total child that he was that the avatar remembered this is a bumi that has tried to protect his people and fight for his city of omashu against the tyranny of the Fire Nation for 100 years and as he said everything burned around him he lost so much this is a bumi weary and tired and dragged down by War this is a realistic character so I understand why they did it this way that doesn't mean that I like it though compared to his original Self
As much as I appreciate the whimsical Bumi from the original, I can understand how Bumi could’ve become jaded during the 100 years of war, watching as the world he and Aang once knew slowly decaying and becoming as twisted as Fire Lord Sozin and Ozai. That being said, my problem isn’t with how Bumi is written and portrayed, but rather it’s with how this Bumi is interacting with this Aang. In the Netflix adaptation, Aang isn’t planning fun road stops on their trip to the North Pole or trying to have fun with his new friends like in the original, so Bumi’s chastising of Aang treating situations like a game doesn’t resonate as well because this version’s Aang is portrayed as more steadfast with his role as the Avatar, with a bit more angst, thus making the conflict tonally inconsistent.
Bumi's character in this episode was my least favorite part. Sure it makes sense, living through 100 years of war is bound to make anyone grow up and get a bit grumpy, so I get it But it didn't feel like Bumi. The fight between him and Aang was amazing though.
Wow, Montana [?] has a pretty terrible memory. I watched her React to the original show, why has she forgotten so much? It's all good, most people I know IRL have a terrible memory, too
Haha her memory just isn’t the greatest, especially with so many shows we’ve watched afterwards!
When are invincible vids coming out ?
Next week I believe. They just finished gravity falls after all
Ok
Thx
I think Bumi's character was one of the biggest flaws of this show. Changes are fine and expected when adapting something, but Bumi's character is just unrecognizable when compared to the animated version. The way he treated Aang was horrid, nothing like the real Bumi.
Demon slayer season 4 is out
It’s worth noting that even though this version of Bumi was clearly bitter he was still trying to help Aang through the tests.
So, i haven't watched the series past the 4th episode, bc i think its getting worse and worse by every scene. Nothing makes sense. Im gonna list a few things here
1st: The rock candy part in this episode. Like in the cartoon it made sense that Bumi said it was candy all along bc they almost suffocated bc of it, but here the directors were just like: "yeah that was in the original series, lets mention it", so its like another twist of the knife for us
2nd: At the end of this episode, Bumi and Aang take a ride on a slide. It was never mentioned they were doing this (correct me if i missed that one out, this series is like a bad fever dream for me 😂)
3rd: In the 3rd episode we can see the earth containers going up the slides... idk what happened, like the budget wasn't big enough to buy some gravity or what?
4th: In this episode Katara and Sokka was in the secret tunnels with the love thing... weird
5th: The monologues are just sooooo bad, its like watching a highschool performance
6th:Katara is a good water bender when she thinks of her mom?
Theres a lot more of these thing but in conclusion, i didn't think they would make this series as bad as the movie was, but these guys pulled it off
i feel like kenny have seen comments about the live action. Hes saying the same stuff other people do and Kennys reaction is shaped by those comments.
Or, and hear me out: The show is incredibly simple. Netflix gut most of the interesting parts of the story and then merged so many episodes together, Kenny is left with nothing to do except point out the glaring issues.
@@tambourinesmusicmachine nah because montana isnt saying those things that were said EXACTLY by every complainer while kenny said the same thing
People say that they're OK with changes but when there are they start getting angry.
This is the low point, for me, of a very disappointing adaptation. The Bumi scenes are almost so bad I can't even rewatch them in a reaction. It hurts me more than anything in the Shyamalamadingdong movie.
the actor playing Bumi was perfect, he was supposed to be buff for his age but his portrayal of this character made up for it
Why people comparing the cartoons and this adaptation it is imposible to cover all what happen to the cartoons... People complaining of bumi's character this bumi is more realistic than the bumi in the cartoons...bumi fought war for a 100 yr what do you expect he will do to ang who vanished when you need him?
Exactly
TOTALLY
It's as if people wants Bumi to just hug Aang when knowing that that's his friend who's gone for 100 yrs and just got away with war while he fought in war for 100yrs
@@pshay2410 they still think its a kid show 🤣🤣🤣, they even show the genocide of the air nation....
I HATE this bumi with a burning passion
Hate the whole show with a burning passion☠️
show is so bad 😢
NO
The writing for bumi was disgraceful
I agree. I get what they're doing but I feel they didn't stick the landing.
