Thats a wild title
They're called sorta stupid for a reason. I mean they called the show an anime so it's an intentionally retarded title to rage bait ppl for views and clicks.
Bro they did it for one piece too it's just clickbait title
And some fans are gonna be madddd HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
and as you can see by the comments, its a very obvious ploy that worked like a charm
@@0nepiecec1ips must be because never a sentence so short contained so many incorrect statements xD
make sure to enjoy the show and don't think of the others!! always remember what Iroh said, If you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see. I really enjoyed the series from the start to end!! Hope they do season 2
💯
Wish i had a group of friends like yall have each other to watch this with. Tried to watch this with my bf last night but he said he wasnt even really a fan of the cartoon. He would watch bits before goign back to his phone. So glad you guys are loving it as much as i am though! Cant wait to see yalls reaction to the other episodes
Is it absolutely perfect? No. Am I still entertained and having a good time? Fuck yes!
couldn't agree more Billy
It is definitely better than THE MONSTROSITY which we shall not name
I don't know what scars you guys have seen in your lives, but Zuko's 'scar' looks like a weirdly clean bruise to me XD
And I don't know who told you the creators were involved in the Shaymalan movie, because they were pushed out of trying to course correct it, just like they walked away from this because of creative differences
Im shocked they could mess up Zuko's most crucial character trait so badly. He was a child who was blasted directly in the FACE with fire by his own father.
It's literally his biggest trauma, and STILL this show tones it down.
@@alyssabullock6421 this just shows that you didn’t watch the show. His scar is still a HUGE part of his trauma and character. I’m guessing they just toned down its looks because they didn’t want it to be distracting. I mean sure, I also would have preferred the scar to look more like a scar but its appearance doesn’t take away from the impact it has on the character.
@@alyssabullock6421bruh did you even watch the show. Ozai was brutal. They showed and elaborated how it happened.
The reason Zuko says “can’t be” when he sees Aang is because he expected him to be an old man. That’s a piece of dialogue they didn’t include from the cartoon.
Not better than the OG but loooooots better than that 'thing' we don't mention in the walls
😂
I swear people have no concept of how wildly different the method of media used to tell the story: live action of eight 40+min episodes that's released as a whole VS a cartoon of 20 episodes of 20+ mins each released weekly. Two very different methods that require unique methods of execution. Also people forget how exposition heavy the cartoon actually was and how the cartoon hinted and implied a lot of heavy concepts for a kids show, but couldn't actually show or explain them in the detail required to flesh them out because it was precisely made for a kids network television company.
The show is streamlining the themes, events while explicitly delving into the ideas that the cartoon only elaborated on in vague and unexplicot ways. Again because it was made for 16 and younger kids, not 12 year old to older people which this show is rated for. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS.
The actor who plays Iroh had the right idea when he said that it is not a copy, nor a remake, but a REMIX because he understood the medium of the story (form of media used) is inherent to its method of portrayal.
Again people wildly overestimate the cartoons handling of the more mature concepts - the fact they were even alluded to or just plainly part of the narrative was enough to warrant the fact it effectively delves into those things because ot was for kids explicitly and how it had to exposition dump in different ways because it was for children. The nostalgia simping and hindsight 20/20 musings of the show that everyone has had for 20+ years is blinding everyone to the extremely creative adaptation.
It is not as good as the cartoon, but it isn't wholly trash TV. If we, as geeks and nerds, can mostly agree that the Revenge of the Sith is a masterpiece despite its obvious flaws in dialogue and story telling, then we can at least try to appreciate the live action adaptation of our beloved ATLA. The cast and crew obviously have love for the original work. That being said, it could have been another Witcher fiasco. The showrunners had no love fpr the source material. The makers of NATLA simply do not have that same contempt for their own source material.
My biggest issue with the movie was just the bending was completely disconnected. They would do an entire breakdance set just to move a droplet of water of a tiny stone. Bending was done really well in this show
OMG. you guys are in the same room! idk if i've ever seen a reaction where you guys are all physically together xD excited for you guys watch this! as an og fan of the cartoon and korra, i think they did a good job.
Even the people that like this show disagree with that dumbass title. U need to change it immediately😂😂Y’all crazy for saying that
The one change that I liked less than the original. Aang just wanted to take a ride instead of overhearing that they were sending him away and running away. I believe that running away adds way more to his character arc.
I thought it was okay. But it makes small writing changes, but these changes fundamentally change the characters. Aang doesn’t really run away. he goes to clear his head. So Aang shouldn’t have the guilt when called a coward like he does in the original. But they still do it anyway. They call him a coward a blame him for running away when that’s not what happened. It has this weird Uncanny Valley effect for me. It gets so close to being exactly right but there's enough change that something feels off. And the Volume AR wall doesn't help. But they nailed Iroh and Zuko's dynamic. They're the best part of the show.
To be fair to them, he kind of did run
It REALLY isn’t
You must be new here. They're trolling. Did same for One Piece too 😂
Are they question mark
don't lie to yourself
I just finished the series. The animated series is a 10/10 for me and is the standard I judge all tv series on. This is 8/10 for me. Some changes worked, some I didn’t like.
13:46 - I think he’s more in disbelief that the one he’s been chasing all this time is just a kid.
It's not better than the original, but it is good. You can love both.
I'm so glad someone else feels this way (loves the show). I definitely have bones to pick with some parts of it, but the story isn't one of them. Some cheesy scripting, but i want to see the next two seasons.
GIVE US TOPH!
I genuinely think if I hadn’t seen the cartoon before watching this I would have enjoyed it more. I think that goes for most live action adaptations (at least for me)
You would've avoided so many dislikes with a different title lol
The first episode was great and the others has some changes like adding 3-4 episodes story into one episode. I would give the show a 7/10..
You guys have the best reactions to this
Honestly I need this kind of enthusiasm. I’ve been trying not to be so pessimistic about it.
I like the Withered Freddy t-shirt, lol
I love you guys but that title is ridiculous lmao.
They did it for one piece too lol
Wait Boom is 52? WTF? He looks like he's in his 30s!
I always compare live action vs live action. So this wins over that abomination.
Finally someone who acknowledge's that Zuko's scare actually looks like a scare😌
I see everyone trashing on the scare but honestly it's accurate and I can say from personal experience it looks exactly like mine. I was basically burned the same way Zuko was and my scare looked really similar to the L.A. after 3 years of healing. Every trash comment I come over about the scare feels like they calling out my scare😭😭🤣
And they got zuko’s scar on the right side to
This video title has to be clickbait.
Edit: Yeah, it’s clickbait. Thankfully! 😅
Duh
@@sortastupid Honestly kind of disappointed, but you do you, I guess.
Edit: Thank you for confirming that this is clickbait!
@@KitKatLagit’s just a title what’s there to be disappointed in?
@@KitKatLag you clearly don't know these guys then, they LOVE to troll with stuff like this, they literally call it out at the end of this episode that they do this shit specifically to get people riled up and foaming at the mouth in the comments, its funny to them and honestly I agree I think its hilarious ♥
@@ShadowExtremeEX8 I guess I just don't like clickbait and trolling. From the reactions I've watched, they always seemed so earnest and sincere, so I believed that the title was completely their honest opinion. My bad!
Sokka isnt sexist, ruined the show
is it just me or does it seem like Katara doesn't have as much personality or fire in the live action. I remember her being a lot more headstrong and angry in the cartoon
She was as the series progresses. Same happens in the live action
@@sortastupid that could be true i'm only on episode 4 but specifically i was thinking about the water whip scene. In this new one she just kinda takes some advice from aang and is dissapointed in herself for not being able to do it, but in the original she literally yelled at him a few times bc she was jealous of his talent. Her being slightly more timid still isn't taking away from overall enjoyment tho i still like this portrayal of the show a lot so far
@@konkaiwa515to be fair, her reactions to the situations was meant to be done in a cartoonish way. If it was done in real life, it would most likely look/sound cringy. Just a guess.
@@zd_zma that could be it that's probably also why they didn't do the joke with aang being sokkas grandpa to get into Omashu some things probably just don't translate as well into live action
@konkaiwa515 haven't seen that yet. I've only watched episode 1. I wanted to wait till my roommate gets out of the hospital/facility so I can watch the rest with him. I watched the first episode to see if it was something I'd like and if I would recommend it to him.
That title is nuts and I love it. You really know how to get our attention. A shame some people can't take a joke. I personally think this show is great. It may not top the cartoon, but it's got plenty to enjoy. Also, Iroh is still the best character.
i haven’t watched the video yet so i don’t know their opinions but everyone relax, the vid is titled the way it is so people can click on it. it’s all about the engagements
Well any kind of comment will bring even greater engagement. So, checkmate.
@@jonathanjohnson6727 True but bro, no offense to you personally, some of these comments are just INSUFFERABLE.
No it’s not
😛
The "better than anime/manga" is kind of a meme, I think what they meant is the previous movie, which is also what they mention in the beginning, so no need to overreacting as soon as the video dropped
You must be new here. They're trolling. Did same for One Piece too 😂
It's a meme bro
they had the same title for One Piece lol
I respect the clickbait title 😂
is it clickbait if it's true Billy?
How ya doin ? I haven't seen you around these parts before 😅
It’s true though way better than mid cartoon version.

I wouldn't say its better than the cartoon (not anime) but its pretty good i watched the whole thing already
They know it's not an anime and they know the cartoon is better, the title is more like a little trolling, but they are Last Airbender fans
They didn't say it was better than the cartoon though. They say it was better than the anime... which doesn't exist.
(Which in case you don't understand, it was meant to be a joke. Those within the avatar community throughout the years would have known this)
Its IMPOSSIBLE to be as good as the cartoon. If you go into this show looking for that, then you won't like it.
I know the title is a joke I was also joking about it but I get my people don't see it I'm just dumb it was a good show tho
@@KB35729 alot of people complaining about the title, I thought you were one of them. My bad
I couldn't help myself but binge the full series, its so good!! Not better than the original but fabulous.
It's so much better with you guys together in one room. Hope that happens more!
We actually got an office together so most videos will be like this going forward for anything new. Glad you're enjoying it!
@@sortastupid Anyway to reduce the echo in the room? Get some soundpads maybe?
We have thousands of dollars in sound pads. The entire wooden false wall behind us is also sound pads. We're always looking to reduce the echo but it will always be more noticeable on UA-cam because we have to have the show quieter then we do on patreon.
Just a balance. Only way to stop the echo 100% would be for us to watch the show really quietly and thats just not worth it in our opinion due to how minor the echo currently is@@etamm1343
Well that's a wild take. One, it's not an anime, it was made in America. Two, I wouldn't say this is better, or even as good as the original, but it's still good. The effects and visuals are clean, I love the air temple raid scene, and some of these casting choices are perfect. Zuko sounds almost just like the original VA.
One, the title's just them memeing and also two, troll below/above.
"It's not an anime, it was made in America" ..
Anime(tion)/Animation...
They're both cartoons/animated pictures...

Not everything needs to be spelled out for everyone on the internet with no sense of humor
@@sortastupid no, it does. people are stupid and think you actually mean it. the ratio speaks volumes.
why would you be triggered with the title lol..
I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. I enjoyed it as well. it IS a roller coaster ride tho. some genuinely great moments.. as well as moments that fall flat.. but overall, I enjoyed the different perspective as well as the nod backs and references.. and if you JUST watched the Shamaladingdong version yesterday then YEA, you GUNA like this lol.
Its... Its not an anime...
It's a meme dhehhdhhe
Come on man don t be that guy
It's based off of anime
@@danevisser1927 ???????????????????????????
And it definitely better than the live action lmao
Its definitely not but by its own show... yah. Its nice. The creators did leave because Netflix wanted to change a lot. Its a nice show. Definitely better than the movie. But when you have the original source material right there, right in front of you and decide to change it... thats where we have a problem. Sure add things and change some tiny stuff but not big things. Even though it was a nice adaptation.. its not the best.
The title is the reason why I love y'all😂 It's so funny seeing people cry over it.
I'm enjoying your reactions and can't wait for you to see all episodes!❤️ Literally cried so much when they showed how the airbenders were kill*d😭
that title 💀🤨
They’re joking. It’s a troll
@@Imgaezz I know 😅
The title of this video is Sorta Stupid
while everybody is crying about the title... I'm just here enjoying reactions cuz the series is fire *literally*❤🔥
You guys are delusional. This show is hot garbage. They try and cram in 8 different story lines into one episode. Acting is god awful, might be worse than the live action movie. The show is all over the place. For instance, katara went through the whole freedom fighter story line by herself in the span of 15mins. While Sokka and Katara are in the secret tunnels, Aang is still hanging out with Bumi. None of this makes sense.
It makes plenty of sense if you pay attention. The show is far from perfect and we discuss our issues with it. But even pretending this is even close to the hot dumpster fire of trash that was the 2010 movie is nuts. Can't take anyone serious that can compare the two.
It's like a 6/10 for me so far. I had to take a break after episode 4, so maybe it gets better idk. The visuals are killer, but they made so many weird decisions with the story and tone. Why did they make it so unbelievably depressing? Why are the character personalities so muted? Why did Katara moving a boat break Aang out of the iceberg? Why do they split up the gang so much? Why does Aang avoid his glider like the plague? Also, why the hell are the mechanist and Teo in Omashu instead of the Northern Air Temple? Also, why were Jet and the freedom fighters in Omashu as well? They neutered the entire Bumi reveal and there were no stakes since Katara and Sokka were on their side plot B/C grind instead of being held hostage. Don't even get me started on the exposition dumps.
I genuinely don't understand how they managed to make Book 1 feel rushed at about the same run time as the cartoon. Book 1 has 20 episodes, ~23 minutes each, equating to about 7.66 hours of content. This series has 8 episodes at an hour each. It almost feels like they're trying to speed-run the series every episode. The cartoon was a kid's show with adult elements, this is not that. Is this iteration of Aang even capable of having fun? Go watch episode 1 of the cartoon again and compare it to this. The entire tone of the series doesn't even feel remotely similar. I can see why the creators of the show left.
Most likely skipped some parts because it was made as an animation and some of the parts would look goofy and cringey if they did it irl
Glad to know there are folks out there that have been keeping up to date with ridiculous changes they made to this already great series. Whom CLEARLY didn't watch the series. Or rather did, but took away the parts that complimented the original story and instead took them out and change because they feel that those elements wont fit right with how they feel it should be for "MODERN AUDIENCES" and find ways to fit in THE MESSAGE into this adaptation. Witch is why i'll never give this adaptation my viewing pleasure. For god sakes, Maya and the THREE was only nine episodes long and that show managed so much more telling and less telling the most movies and shows these days.
the gang being together? this is hype, hope the series is good
if I had a complain, it's the writing. there is a bit to much "tell, don't show", like the scene with Aang and Appa where Aang explicitly tells the audience exactly how he feels, because that is totally what a confused 12 year old does, right? his acting and delivery wasn't great either, but I can give that a pass since he is just a child actor.
I'm also not quite sure how I feel about frontloading the entire start of the war. sure, it doesn't really matter to those who watched the animated series, but I think for the non-initiated it might be better to leave things in the dark and slowly uncover the past over the course of the series.
Yeah..media literacy is more dead. In the original aang just ran out on gyatso and it told everything that live action aang babyfed us.
i actually like aang's actor a lot, he really gives you that inocent and chill vibe the character needs. . .at least when the script actually let him instead of only opening his mouth to explain his exact feelings and the plot to the audience
Agreed
It seems Ba Sing Se has done some title work. Imo, Live Action: 6.5/10 Animation season 1: 8/10.
Based. I can actually agree with that. A lot of people overhyping this adaptation, when it's just passable at best.
@@TheHeroClass My main issue with the live action is that the acting for Aang and Katara seem extremely... stiff? Aang doesn't seem natural in how he talks, and Katara feels off as well. Everyone else feels fine, but because Aang and Katara are central pieces to the show, their performance kinda drags it down for me.
@@krazytreRTMWell they’re also kids, who likely don’t have as much experience doing this kind of acting. I’m sure they’re doing their best and trying to accomplish what the director wants.
@@TrackMaster844 Yes, they're kids.
Season 1 was good but not amazing bro. Book 2 and 3 were amazing. Book 1 of atla had some weak points
I can tell you right now it's not and I can also tell you that's an incredibly stupid thing to say. For so many reasons, it's kind of impressive how stupid this claim is.
it is don't pretend Billy
@@sortastupid I won't let you bait me like this I know you're trolling.
its an 8/10
-1 point for the Woke shoehorn changes that break the immersion.
-1 point for making Katara changes...
If I were a writer for Episode one I'd have Sokka or Katara say Oong and have Aang correct them.
It wasn't even 10 minutes and i already disliked the episode. Especially the fact that pacifist monks are going to go help earth kingdom fight the fire nation

@@sortastupidI'll grab the salsa. (Dumb joke)
I'm sure these comments will be perfectly innocuous 👀
I can accept the story plot changes. But uhh... The story progression is a bit... Slacking. Somehow Aang is matured, Katara is emotionless, Sokka seems okay, looks like the Sokka we know except sexism, Uncle Iroh is not wise??? Zuko is great, but i want to see his true rage.
9:50 They got Sokka's forehead right, A+ casting.
Yeah it's pretty but it's not an anime. It's nickels CARTOON
First off no it ain't, next it ain't an anime. (Boom extra cute or somethin? What y'all do?)
So after watching episode 1 for myself… the fact that they made the invasion the same night Aang left takes away from people thinking he ran away.
Remember the public knew Aang ran and escaped his responsibility as the Avatar. If the invasion happened the same night, people would just assume he was among the first to die. Other gurus would assume he went into the Avatar state and died thus cutting off the life cycle.
It reduces Aang’s guilt and sense of forced responsibility if all this happened in one day.
My only gripe with episode 1 is that the airbenders actually put up a fight during the genocide. The firebenders are supposed to be OP (literally the "power of a hundred suns") and easily wipe them out.
wtf no??? they totally put up a fight in the cartoon. the fire nation /claimed/ they wiped them out easily, but if you look when they find master giatsu there are a bunch of fire nation skeletons.
@@sodapop6164 Bodies around one person, a noted master. K/S only find one item of note, a single, lone helmet. If the airbenders had any solid defense, there would be many more bodies in many more places since the firebenders (in the cartoon) left their dead behind. I think you're misinterpreting my meaning of "put up a fight". It's war. Every soldier is unique so of course there will be casualties even if one side has an overwhelming advantage.
As someone who hasn't seen the animated series yet, I can say it was pretty good. I just can't help but feel that it lacked something compared to the LA one piece that hooked me instantly. Which I also haven't seen the anime as well and got introduced to the LA series first.
I went in with a low expectation, but Ngl this series is so far waaaaaay better than the movie, and if anything it holds up as a darker retelling of the story. I’m interested to see what else changes for the series, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I’m excited to see your reactions to more
I watched the show and have to say, it is really good, but i had some issues. Without spoilers... less cgi and more practical stuff would have been better in many scenes, also alot of story stuff feels rushed, it just skips from event to event, basically no interactions between the main-cast, traveling or training is happening outside of the mainplot... it would have benefited alot from a 10 episode runtime instead of 8. For me the show istn quiet the level of One Piece, but its really close... 8,5 out of 10
Its not better than the anime but its still a good series definitely better than that "my name is ong" movie
First off, not an anime. Second off, not true. I really enjoy the new show, but u still think the old one is overall better.
I hope you apologised to your mom for talking to her like that
Just taking a guess, but the title was probably there to purposely piss people off (Edit: watch the end of the video)
Also, I hope to see the reaction to the movie

Ok bro, it’s good, but you don’t need to lie :>
It seems this adaptation may have more merit than I anticipated, but it inevitably will in no way hold a candle to the original animated series
I wish people would stop taking that mentality of "it can't live up to the original" and just watch it without comparing it too much
True be that that it won't be as good as the original
@@ashhabimran239 well on its own it has little set up for story payoffs that are qued by the ost starting to swell during a scene of dialogue that's supposed to have meaning. Even though all there was previous was a bunch of either flat performances or continual reciting of exposition for lore(a.k.a telling the character what they should be focused on and repeatedly).
@@ashhabimran239 That won't be the case if it wasn't an ADAPTATION
@@lokimiguel2452 disagree with that sentiment, as one doesn't like every version of those characters. However, those characters have extensive and multidimensional lore. So each form is from a different universe. The issue with this is, outside of the pacing, line direction and in turn the dialogue conveyed. These live actions are really just about using IP that have automatic audience and start out following the same storyline, to appease the core audience. Then turn around and make most every character and core system(in this case bending) into something that strays far from how their portrayal. Which they don't even do well, as I previously stated. How about they simply make something of their own without the Avatar mainstays namesake propping them up. And make the characters they want to make
Their youtube name makes more sense now lol.

The title somehow has two incorrect statements 😂
ATLA is an American Anime..
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc Anime means animation originating in Japan. If it's made outside of Japan, it's anime-inspired, and can't be considered anime.
@@GmmBeast anime means animation. The "made in Japan" is not what anime means :) anyone who is Japanese would tell you that. They call south park an anime
Literally search google for one second. "Avatar: The Last Airbender (abbreviated as ATLA), also known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some regions or simply Avatar, is an American anime-influenced animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios."
ONE PEICE IS A MASTERPIECE! this is OK and will only get better. Young actors need to learn is all. Some other stuff was off for me but still enjoyed. Sokka was amazing! Gran gran was so so so so so so bad....
TECHNICALLY true since Avatar has no Anime :3
So something is better than nothing.
I actually love how close they stuck to the source material. They were able to give us the world we knew while adding some much needed context like the start of the war and the genocide on Airbenders in the form of the start of the show instead of flashback spread throughout multiple episodes.
Not to mention Aang being frozen.
@@RoxasOnSummerVacation We find that out in the original series too though? It just wasn't meant to be revealed so soon.
@@artthounasty5877 They did. They just showed them in flashbacks scattered across multiple episodes. It was inconvenient for people who multitask.
@@RoxasOnSummerVacation Sounds like a multitasker problem ngl xD
@@artthounasty5877 Well it depends. I know some people who aren't multitaskers who complained about it. It's just a lot easier to understand what happened before the show if you get it all at once. If you have to peice it together and remember small details throughout a whole season then it becomes annoying.
No spoilers, I promise! I'm only on episode 4 so far but I love how they're doing the extra world building (stuff we didn't see in the cartoon). And any changes they do, I don't hate haha For anyone who still hasn't seen it, I recommend just going in with no expectations, and you'll actually really enjoy it! They're doing a good job! It's not a frame by frame copy of the cartoon and honestly, that's not a bad thing🤷🏻♀️
Wow, I am a big fan of the original animated series, and I loved the Netflix adaptation. I've watched it already few times, and it's amazing! I fell in love with this beautiful series. Fantastic live-action adaptation! I can't wait for the next season! Love the action, adventure, drama, the emotional twist, it brought me to tears, the fantasy, and comedy-all in one! Amazing cinematography, amazing special effects, those animals, spirit animals just amazing, and their powers, the visuals look great and the backgrounds look fantastic! They're all amazing! Gordon is a brilliant, fantastic actor for his young age, and he is so cute; he has a million-dollar smile too. Dallas is a versatile actor, he's amazing actor. Kiawentiio and Ian are amazing too. Paul, and Daniel are very good too. I love the casting, I love the characters, they all did a great job. Congratulations! This is the best live-action adaptation! ♥️
Okay, I wanna start by saying this episode (as someone who's seen four of them) is a 7/10. Definitely not as bad as the M. Night adaptation, but certainly not to the great three episodes it's trying to adapt.
My problem with this episode specifically lie in the impact of Aang as the Avatar. Korra's lore firmly established only two Airbender's could "fly". The Guru who's name I will not attempt spelling, and Zaheer, letting go of both their earthly attachments. Aang very clearly still has earthly attachments, so wtf is that. Other than that, when they go back to the Temple to see the genocide's effects, the way it's literally the last five minutes feels so disrespectful, because I felt more when I had less time with Gyatso, mainly cuz Aang was in full on denial in the show, meanwhile Gran-Gran the exposition dumpster literally told him he was the last one, so when he just snaps into the Avatar State and without the emotional weight of Katara calming down, it feels completely hollow.
Anyways, the bending effects are awesome, the intro will never match the original's, and the actors are perfect for the most part
he wasn't flying he was falling with style
@@konkaiwa515I’ve said this exact thing to people! 🤣
@@konkaiwa515 See, I'm willing to excuse it because it SEEMS like he was just pushing himself with air, because he doesn't do that again to my knowledge, but when everyone just assumes it's flying...and their bad explanation of the Korra lore...it irks me 😅
While it'll NEVER be better than the original, I honestly think that this is the most respectful live action adaptation I've ever seen in my life! It has so much love and respect for the original and you can feel that in this show. I've already seen every episode of season 1 and it's honestly really good. It'll never beat the original, but I never expected to. This is its own thing and I'm ok with that. I'm really excited for the next seasons to come. Long Live Avatar Billy!❤
I'm glad people like this adaptation though for me personally, its a bit lackluster. I mean, its FAR bettter than the M. Night movie, completely but this series doesn't really feel like Avatar. Good things I like are the visuals and the bending is almost perfect {I think the airbending is "iffy" though at times}. Casting was mostly well done for the characters in terms of appearances and costume design is pretty good.
Acting from much of the cast leaves a lot to be a desired but it does improve somewhat as it goes on. Given the young ages of many of them, this is understandable and I assume it will only get better as they gain experience and become more comfortable in their roles. Dialogue is disappointing and I feel no chemistry between many of the characters and I can't have any real connection to them emotionally. I don't hate or even dislike them but I can't really cheer for them either.
I didn't really like some of the tweaks done to the story and characters' personalities- though some more than others and some were more justified than others. For instance, the chronology of how the show is structured overall is something I disliked for but I do understand why it was made the way it was. It was a lot less impactful for important moments for me as a viewer when compared to the cartoon.
I would have preferred they made an original live action show set in the Avatar universe
but with new characters and situations but I digress. Perhaps we'll get that someday.
The movie was an abomination. An abominable mockingly grotesque imitation of something beautiful- like a zombie, a parody of life. This show is also an imitation. It's like a grittier, darker version of Avatar. However, it's not abominable. It's more like Dr. Frankenstein's monster- perhaps it was better left unmade but it is quite miraclous in the sense it works as well as it does. It's a deeply flawed creation but not totally devoid of soul and is deserving of some degree of praise. For me, it has spirit, but that spirit isn't that of Avatar and it likely never will.
In its own right, I think it's a decent show despite its shortcomings.
Movie: 0-1 out of 10
This series: 5.5-6 out of 10
I wasn't impressed with a lot of the acting but Zuko was on point for me. Visually, personality, voice and fighting. He was what got me most excited. The thing I disliked the most was Yue's visuals. I don't know who did that costume design but it was the worst I've seen in a looooong time. She looked like a cheap lady of the night in a bad comedy film or something. I feel bad for the actress >
Visually it's a 9/10, the music score is a 7/10, the acting is a 6/10, and unfortunately the writing is a 2/10. It gave me the same false sense of security that Masters of the Universe Revelation did.
