i would absolutely love it if yall committed to this original animated series
Yeeeees
Yes!!! I think they’d be funny as hell like always but also have great things to say about the characters/plot as well
Pleaaaaak
same!
for sure!
Two details I love about the original show:
1. Even though he's supposed to be the villain, Zuko keeps his promise and leaves the Water Tribe alone after he takes Aang, showing that he's already an honorable person.
2. The reason Aang is so good with the Air Scooter is because he invented the technique. It earned him his tattoos and made him the youngest airbending master in history.
yon rha does the same thing so I don't know about honorable....
@@ayoogunsakin9223 To be fair, I feel like that was less out of mercy and more so because he thought he'd finished the job and the Water Tribe was actively fighting back. Also, unlike Zuko, we know Yon Rha killed at least 1 person.
They removed all of Zuko's honour. It was meant to be a dual protagonist show and Zuko was trying to redeem something he already had, his issue was trying to be a good person in a corrupt nation.
His banishment for not wanting to fight his own dad in agni kai was honourable but seen as weak, this was changed to not only fight his dad but actually had a moment of out classing him.
Zuko's agni kai with Commander Zhao ended with Zuko ending it honourable, not wanting to disfigure him like he was by his dad (or kill). This was removed completely.
Zuko wanted to capture the avatar to earn his father's respect and love again and return home, this was changed to him wanting the throne, a much less honourable desire.
Almost every chance they got they changed Zuko and every other character away from what made their character arcs good and interesting and nuanced. It makes me question whether they actually understood the assignment at all.
@PickledSmoothBrain they didn't understand it at all
That scene with Aang smacking around Zuko with the mattress will never not be funny to me🤣
Right!?😂
The first hit already took Zuko out, second hit was personal LMFAO
The reason Zuko is out looking for the Avatar is really a wild goose chase that was a part of Zuko's banishment. Ozai just wanted him out of the way because he hated his son. He didn't think Zuko would actually find anything since they assumed they'd annihilated the entirety of the Air Nomads.
Well... Zosin was also looking for the Avatar until his death.. They knew he must have been alive or a new cycle would have begun with a waterbender (e.g. Korra after Aang's death). I think they knew he had to have "hidden" somewhere somehow since the tempels have not shown that another Avatar emerged. Of course one could argue that if the Avatar was killed whilst in the Avatar state then he would cease to exist, I don't know tho if they knew that was possible..
But yes it definitely was a wild goose chase finding him and Ozai did hate Zuko.
It was also the reason for Katara's water tribe was investigated for waterbenders @@katiel3768
@@katiel3768 That was also why they eliminated all of the water benders, assuming that they got rid of all the air nomads, then water was next, so that's probably why they targeted them, iirc
I found that the live action tried to remove like negative aspects of the characters, e.g aang actually running away or any characters jealousy for some reason, but what it actually does is takes away from their character development when they over come those limiting beliefs
Exactly!
I honestly disagree. The negative characteristics were still there, just presented more subtly, which makes sense since they were aiming at an older audience than the original. Example that people keep talking about: Sokka being sexist and working through that. He is definitely still sexist in the adaptation - but not in the simplified way of saying “boys are better at [fighting, hunting, etc] than girls”. That was a good way to present the issue of sexism to children in the late 2000’s but it wouldn’t make sense in a show for adults in 2024.
@@QueenOfTheZombieApocalypse agree. People seem to forget that one thing is to tell a story in 2020 and one thing is to tell a story in 2000. "But it is an adptation" yes, it is, but you can present certain topics in the same way. In the cartoon, Sokka he's strict to the point with Suki by saying that "women cannot fight", but I found interesting the way they portrayed their dynamic in the live action. He seems scared by Suki's presence cause he actually never saw a woman fighting, and this is a form of sexism, but he slowly realizes that his vision is wrong. Of course the sexism is toned down, but it is still there.
As I've always said, if fanboys aren't happy, make it yourselves. I'm a fan of the original anime and while changes were made, they aren't so drastic so as to be snobbish about it. I enjoyed both versions.
Honestly, it's so damn frustrating to see people constantly bitch and moan; newsflash, it's an adaptation, not a scene for scene copy. Yes, some elements may be missing, but the crux of the story is still intact and while they've softened some of the characteristics, as you go along you do see those traits come to the fore and development does happen. This is why I cringe when they try to make these live action shows, not because they shouldn't be made, but because of the ever whiny fan base nitpicks to the point nauseating cringe inducing banality. This live action has made many non-fans curious about the anime show and that's a good thing.
Sorry to be harsh, but it just seems there's never any pleasing or satisfying people and, perhaps, producers shouldn't try anymore because it really isn't worth the aggravation. That said, season 2 and 3 have been given the go ahead, so we'll have to see how things develop.
@@JonInCanada1 the writers (even though i have some complain)clearly went for some kind of slow-burn development of the relationships and personalities. Cause the katara of the 8th episode is not the katara of the first episode (just to make an example). So yes, overall characteristics are softened, but the development is there😅
It's wild. The new version is supposed to be more "adult"...but it's only that in it's willingness to show violence.
OG didn’t NEED to show you the Airbender genocide...just the aftermath, and that to me, is FAR MORE effective storytelling. It was haunting seeing that as a kid and it's still haunting as an adult.
The Netflix show just feels like....someone with ZERO media literacy took a crack at retelling the story and kinda misses a lot of the point.
I watched the first episode of the new series with my mom and, when I complaied about the exsesive exposure and the constant violation of the 'show not tell' rule, she said ''well, it's obviously made more for kids''. And me, knowing full well that it was supposed to be more 'adult' before watching it, just sat there like ''It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say''
The writing sucks. They show the entire genocide but then have all the impact of it taken away, because Grandma basically does a full exposition of the entire war (that was already done in the first scene), including the entire Katara intro word for word. "Oh there's no airbenders anymore hihihaha" The genocide of the air nomads hits and leaves you gutted because you learn of it WITH Aang. You see his hope die as he sees the skull of his father figure surrounded by fallen Fire Nation soldiers. Even his flashbacks were done a lot better. They spent more time with past Aang there in the live-action and showed nothing but his interaction with Monk Gyatso. In the og, we see him grieve all aspects of his life he loses for being the avatar. His childhood, his friends who don't want to play with him, and finally, they want to take Gyatso away, which is why he runs away.
But to believe Aang just went for a little stroll and the moment he was gone was the very moment of the comet and the Fire Nation attack???? He was trying to get back and would have been killed. It goes away with all his guilt, the very heart of his character.
*Aang going through extreme emotional distress
LA Katara, "You know the thing about losing everything, is that that's when you learn how strong you really are. It's when you learn to fight." *Stands up and walks away*
OG Katara, "Aang! I know you're upset and I know how hard it is to lose the people you love. I went through the same thing when I lost my mom. Monk Gyatso and the other airbenders may be gone, but you still have a family. Sokka and I! [Sokka opens his eyes and glances at his sister.] We're your family now!" Sokka then says, "Katara and I aren't going to let anything happen to you. Promise." *Katara embraces Aang with a hug after he calms down and realizes he is the last airbender.
I mean c'mon what is this live action? Katara is suppose to be empathetic and nurturing. I did not want a 1-1 rendition, but the spirit of the charcters should stay intact, which the LA failed with Katara and most of the characters
Completely agree. I didn't want them to just copy paste the animation into live action, but when your source material is THIS GOOD there's really no excuse. The visuals are mostly great, but they just sucked so much life out of the characters and the story..
To be fair katara “is” more nurturing in la. But she lacks anger and pushy-ness as a teenager. Hope the writers of the next season wouldn’t be afraid to show a drastic flaw esp with toph going in the picture soon.
@@fifi7367 Ehhh idk what LA you watched 😂
"to save a world you've never seen" is the best description I've ever heard this level of sacrifice/heroism
Very Frodo of them
The reason Zuko is in the Southern Water tribe is because if the Aang was dead the next Avatar would be a water bender, also it is implied that the cycle also shifts in the location (between the north and south water tribes, switching between each air temple, etc).
So since the last water born Avatar before Aang was from the North the next would be from the south; and Korra was.
Plus the Northern tribe has better defenses because they are centralized compared to the sparse communities of the South.
Thanks!!
You know what would've done the original show justice? Not remaking it in the first f*cking place and leaving it the hell alone because its already perfect. 😊
Re: how do they know the avatar’s not dead?
The next element in the avatar cycle after air is water meaning that the new avatar would be born in the water tribes. This explains why the fire nation kidnapped all of the water benders from the Southern water tribe and why Zuko was hanging around the South Pole while looking for the avatar. 30:14
Uhhhh they didn’t kidnap anybody from the water tribe👀
@@justAman548In the beginning they did.
@@justAman548 Watch the Hama episode, she was literally a POW and the only living water bender taken from the south pole
@@jackieroberts2625 you also couldn’t really trust her
@@justAman548 I think the fact the creators decided to show it in flashbacks that weren't framed dubiously suggests it was true? And it's a big part of her motivation, it does make sense with her actions and the episode would lose a lot if it wasn't.
There is so much talking going on in the live action. Like they are explaining everything 4 times. The live action is more of a kids show than the actual cartoon
😂😂
They added more exposition because test audiences were confused. The average viewer now isn't as good at inference as they used to be :(
@@candidwings5609So they decided to contribute to it by... dumbing it down?? We were 8-10 when it first aired, and didn't understand all the nuance. One thing I love about the show is to keep discovering details through rewatch. :/
@@juancarlosjerividal7382gosh, calm down, showrunner and the directors know about criticism, so they will make sure other 2 season will be amazing. Discussing of episodes is a problem for another day. More episodes will be much more efficient 10-11 ep.
And the problem is not in exposition
@candidwings5609 *squints* Bruh. If the show is for "adults" now...those are the same adults that were kids when the OG aired.
I mean, media literacy has gone to hell in some circles, but a lot of us grasped a lot of these concepts as kids without issues. That's why it meant so much. The issue is they stripped out the character nuances and tried to shove 25 30 min episodes into 8 hour long episodes and pretend that they were getting rid of "filler."
The reason Zuko was in the south is because working under the assumption the air nomads were wiped out. The avatar would reincarnate as a water bender and the north pole still has a strong resistance so checking everywhere in the south first is a good starting point
I WOULD BE SOOOO HAPPY IF YALL DID THE ANIMATED SERIES❤ MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME
Same. In my opinion a perfect show
One of the best things about Aangs Arc (and what bonds him and katara) is how even when he's fully embraced being the avatar and all the responsibility he has, he never losing that fun and playful nature. ❤
You two are the only channel I’m willing to watch non first reactions for. So the thought of you going back over the whole animated series is delightful
🙌🙌❤️❤️
What was a disappointment for me about the live action is Katara, they did her so dirty
seriously, she was such a badass in the original. i'll never forgive netflix for hobbling her
And the craziest thing is the actress is actually great and has awesome range in other projects! Just written and directed really weird.
They did every Character dirty
I think the live action writers got together to brainstorm how to include the og intro sequence into the show, came up with like 5 different ideas, then said fuck it and shoved them all into the first episode lmao
Yeah I think they should have only had Gran Gran say it. I know some people didn’t like that scene, but I feel that’s more because the iconic lines were already said. Taken by itself, it’s a good scene and consistent with the oral history keeping of the people the water tribe was based on.
😂😂 for real
@@QueenOfTheZombieApocalypse I think it was the actor for Gran gran that people didn't really resonate with
Idk something tells me the first season was a build up so they could do the intro with a Katara voice over especially because Aang hasn’t learned water bending yet 😂
@@kmjkmjkmjthe acting across the series is so consistently bad, that I have to just blame the directors
regarding your question of why the fire nation would want to kill the avatar, instead of capture him since hes gonna be reborn anyway, is that they wanted to basically make sure that every avatar following will be under their control. eradicate the air nomads and subjugate the rest of the nations so that any future avatars are born in the fire nation or fire nation colonies and thus grow up amongst nationalist propaganda and stay loyal to the fire lord above all
Thanks lol
“save a world you’ve never seen” why was that a bar
The animated series: show don’t tell
The live action series: tell don’t show
I'm pretty sure the reason the fire nation can fly to the air temple is because of Sozin's Comet amplifying their bending to a ridiculous degree
I would LOVE to see a full watch through of ATLA (maybe Korra too, if you’re feeling generous 😂) You guys always notice so many little bits and piece that some people miss!
0:25 😂😂Oh there's definitely a favourite child.... The Original Animated version 😌😆
11:51 well actually in the Avatar universe, many ppl can live past the age of 100. Avatar Kyoshi lived i think 200 years. And remember Aang's friend Bumi, he was still alive when he see him again even though he it had been 100 years since he and Aang were kids
"have any of the avatars previously been evil?" don't know if that was a real question or not but just in case: I'm pretty sure they can't be evil since the whole reason they are 'the avatar' is bc they have the spirit of raava - the spirit of light and peace - inside of them :D
PLEASE WATCH ANIMATED SERIES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This show is only "good" in comparison to Shyamalan's failure. I don't care for it. But you two are great, so I'll absolutely be back for more 😅❤
Omg exciting! I hope you guys continue with the animated series, at least! 😊
The faces on this thumbnail have me worried 😂 my favorite show of all time.! Can't wait to see your reactions, whatever your opinions are (especially for the animated)
Edit: I've watched your reactions and loved it! Lol also just an FYI, in the animated series, people can live up to 200 years. Not super common but possible. Avatar Kyoshi is infamous for being the longest living Avatar pushing past 200 years
*If you look closer, Aangs not really flying, he's using the air/currents to keep himself afloat in one general area. he still needs his glider to really fly!*
It really does not portray the right message though does it? He looked like it was about to burst out in a Disney song the way he was twirling around.
I got my popcorn ready for this, and it’s all pink
AHH so excited for this!! avatar is my favorite show of all time ever since i was a kid, cant wait to see this!! your guys' reactions are always so much fun 🫶
❤️❤️
I would love to see you reaction to the rest of the animated series! Also, to answer your question aang is 12, katara is 14, and sokka and zuko are both 16
Thanks lol
sokka was 15
@@chance1774 my bad
@@aoifelovescats oh, i was just trying to give correct info! no apology necessary in the slightest
@@chance1774 all good lol!
25:35 I cringed so hard at this scene. Not because of the acting, or the actor, but because of the writing. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I sighed at this show saying: Show, don't tell,is honestly 30x too much
I personally don't like the show favouring Kyoshi a ton over Roku
Facts Netflix favouring kyoshi over Roku is dumb all in the name of inclusivity and feminist agenda the really destroyed the aang and Roku's dynamic
I would love to see you guys watch through and react to both!
Also, I wanted to point out that he wasn’t flying without his glider, he was jumping with diminished gravitational effect. We saw him do that multiple times in the original too - like when he sneezed and shot 50 feet in the air.
you guys should definitely do the whole animated series; like rizzo said, there's so much more that can be absorbed and appreciated as an adult. i think you guys would have fun revisiting it after so long
Katara was just thinking hey one bender can probably teach another bender even though yeah it is different in reality
22:14 wait what - wasn’t it revealed later in the season that the air Benders died from fire nation ? Like we have the whole thing to exprience it with aang
Fun fact, did you know you can tell a firebender soldier and a non-bender soldier by their uniform? Benders have a skull-like mask, while the non-benders show their face; and also have spears/swords.
Needless to say, I'd like to see thw OG.
It would be amazing for you to commit to the full animated series!!
AHHH OMG literally my favorited animated show of all time 😭 ... Live action feels like a parody, not an adaptation gotta be honest lol
😂😂
I'd be SO HYPED if you did the whole original show!
I'm not from a country where it was available while I was still considered the target demographic so I was actually already in my late 20s when I watched it - and it was still one of THE best (animated) shows I've ever seen.
A few sillier moments aside it's practically ageless and can appeal to anyone.
It was an air spare that had Ice 🧊 surround it so inside was air. Real Advanced master Airbenders can do the air spare underwater, where they’re extracting air molecules oxygen from the water to create air spare to travel and survive underwater. Also, Airbenders can regulate their temperature through breathing, 😮💨 technique, so that’s why Aang isn’t cold. 🥶 in the arctic climate.
Committing to the animation series would just bring you happiness! I’d love to see it
I liked the live adaptation just fine! I liked some of the changes, like the fact that Zuko’s men have more of a personality & opinions on how Zuko runs things. Their backstory was SO touching
I agree
It has great moments. I gave it a solifd 6.5/10
They also did in the OG series
i would LOVE for yall to commit to the animated series!!! i love hearing people talk about the show like yes gimme ur takes and opinions and how u feel about how amazing this show is AAAA
Maybe watch the og series
Yea seems like a better bet
Pleeaase react to the animated show!!!!
Now that's a cool idea for a video. The first episodes of the animated show can seem a little silly but it truly grows into a great, amazing story. The live action show on the other hand, was just EXPOSITION FEST 2024. And they chabges the reason WHY AANG RAN AWAY????
how did they change it tho? he ran cause he found out he as the avatar and was gonna be leaving his friends so he ran away
😂
@@Rihannakassa yep, it is basically the same reason but you know, the cartoon fans need to distort things on purpose
Oh 100% running away from fear of responsibility vs. running away to clear your head really changes his character motivation/arc
@@Viyanca even if in the live action Aang leaves "to clear his head", it is evident that the core is still there, since before leaving he's literally crying because "he doesn't want the responsability" , he leaves before he's scared and doesn't want to accept his future, and this thing remains for all the season since he feels guilty to have abandoned his people that night, so yes, the arc is still there.
I would honestly love if you did a side by side comparison of the two. I would love if you watched how each adaption laid down pivotal points within the story.
Nice!
Absolutely agreed!
I’m pretty sure in the cartoon, the Fire Lord did think the avatar was dead. He sent Zuko on the search assuming it was a fool’s errand. Zuko just had to believe he was alive since that was the only way he could restore his honor (or at least do the thing he assumed would restore it at that time).
So where did they think the avatar spirit had gone to!? 🤔
@@PinkPopcast I'm not 100% sure. But I assume that's why they targeted all water nation benders they could (to prevent reincarnation). I think they weren't really sure happened when they didn't sense his passing, but after 100 years of no re-appearance, Fire Lord Ozai at least assumed he wouldn't be an issue by that point. I'm sure Sozin's generation and Ozai's generation had different thoughts on the matter.
i thought i outgrown avatar (the cartoon) and other cartoons. like i LOVED the show so much growing. watching this kinda reminded me of that love i had. ty
sorry for all typos. i didnt wanna pause the video and type lmao
i would killllll to see yall react to the whole animated series!!! i think it would be hilarious to watch and see what yall have forgotten and what you remember and just how yall enjoy it as adults! and id still watch you react to the live action netflix one too, i guess 🙄😂
Haha we’ve probably forgotten more than we realize
I am aaaaalways here for more avatar! Loved it you two ❤
🙌🙌
OMG what I needed without even knowing😍😍😍 Hope you guys will check the anime one, it’s so gooood!!
🙌🙌❤️
as soon as i heard about sokka's casting, i knew they truly didn't give a fuck about the integrity of the story (and that there were no indigenous people in production that had enough power to do anything about it). the kids are great and i hope they get a lot of work from this, but the writing just stripped every possible motivation from the show while also telling you what's going to happen every 5 seconds. even if you've only seen clips of the original, decisions like the change in size/texture of zuko's scar, katara not being angry about anything, and sokka not starting out as a jerk and evolving into a caring and sensitive kid, make the point of the show useless and tell the audience that those traits/journeys are undesirable. they're kids. they're supposed to be scared, and dumb, and bad at stuff. as a fan, it makes me angry, and as a writer, it makes me exhausted. to make a story about genocide, while several genocides are happening in real time, and make every victim an agreeable, robotic husk is, at best, shit writing and, at worst, propaganda. the original has flaws that could have been improved on. they could have had literally ONE indigenous person in the writer's room for this version. if you're going to scrap every decent thing in the show, write a different story!!!!!
also yours is one of maybe 2 channels (3 including your other channel) where i like the video before i watch it. you're both rad.
fr the sokka casting killed me especially with woon a tai walking around (he's not inuit but it would have been far better than what we got)
tell me you're racist without telling me you're racist. you wanna talk about integrity of a story yet you allow ariel to be black in the live action and snow WHITE be a tan latina. The actor is fine as sokka yall care WAYYYYYY TOO MUCH about skin color.
Sorry, as someone who hasn’t heard about the controversy what’s wrong with Sokka’s casting?
Cherokee people pointed out that he (very possibly and obviously) lied about his native identity years ago and netflix kept quiet about it and kept him on the project, while using their "ethnically accurate" casting as promo. the fandom doesn't care that much though, so they've been trying to gaslight anyone who tries to talk about it.@@JustWandering
@@ayoogunsakin9223 yes! i can't figure out how to tag the previous commenter who was asking, so please bear with me!
ian has never specified which band he's affiliated with (and is not affiliated with any of the 3 federally recognized cherokee nations). one disputed nation has allegedly claimed him, but that nation is neither federally recognized nor recognized by ANY of the 3 legitimate nations. many people have been saying that wanting proof of his indigeneity is reminiscent of blood quantum, but those people don't understand that tribal affiliation has nothing to do with percentages and everything to do with who your people are. the most nefarious thing about all of this is that when people like this claim fake indigenous heritage, they almost always choose to be cherokee ("my grandmother was a cherokee princess"), likely because of how much history was forcibly erased as a result of genocide (see: the trail of tears). above all, it tells me that the casting people didn't approach the known tribes and instead just put out a role for anyone to do with no checks, which is lazy and dangerous on its own. there are so many ways to contact recognized indigenous groups and it's also ridiculous that they didn't bother trying to find someone who was inuk. i'm canadian and there are so many groups for indigenous creatives that it would take about 30 seconds to find an actor in sokka's age range. they also made every character about 20 shades lighter which is its own thing, but it says a lot about what they think is important.
that moment at 19:12 always gets me, with the theme playing in the background, and the way it really sets the tone for the rest of the series. love this show so much
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW (especially please watch the animated show - one of my all time favourites and it can still be loved by adults)
Yay I'm really looking forward to this!!!
2:36 you are correct. It is Jackson Rathbone.
CONGRATS ON 100K SUBSCRIBERS!!!! 💖💖💖 SOOO INCREDIBLY DESERVED
Thank you so much!!
The reason they’re able to “fly” with fire is because of the comet! Anytime the comet is near their fire bending power is at its highest potential and different bending is able to be used
You guys have to watch the animated series. It is PERFECT!
if you guys keep watching them side by side, I would recommend 5 episodes per one of live action or at least the episodes they use for each the live action episode as reference or comparison.
hold on, they're making katara COWER IN THE BACKGROUND
gods i know that the original and new don't have to be the same (and shouldn't, really) but damn, how do you fuck up her character that badly
Regarding "how do they know that the Avatar is alive" - Zuko says in the original that the information that the Avatar is the last airbender comes from the Fire Sages. So presumably, there would have been some sort of sign at Roku's temple if the Avatar had been reborn.
I would LOVE to see you guys react to the rest of these!
Stick to the OG animated show. The live action was like a 5/10, it's there, it's okay. I don't like a lot of the changes but is still watchable for the effects and certain characters like Sokka, Zuko, Iroh and Ozai. P.S. love your humor, you guys crack me up!
MORE PLEASE!!! Cant wait to see you guys watch the entire season 😊
Watch the rest! I'm so curious to see what you'll think!
This was my first time watching you guys! I loved seeing the side by side comparison, plus your commentary is top notch!
Thank you!
Would love to see you react to the rest of the animated series!! Already popping my popcorn ❤️
Love your reaction to the animated show :D would love to see more of that.
For the Remake (it dosen't exist for me...) I think it's one thing to change the story a little bit to make it....more "serious/for adults" I guess, but they completely took away the important message of the show, all the character development that makes them so iconic and they tell and show you eeeeeverything in your face....there is no mystery to the story or characters, no depth at all.. Aang all of a sudden accepts being the avatar, he's not hiding it at all, because he didn't run away and thusfore has no personal guilt, katara just chilling in the ship takes the haunting vibe of the war, that their tribe already had there, away. It makes more sense for her to be scared, that they wouldn't be allowed to go near that ship ...and oh yeah just one talk to Aang and all of a sudden understands how to bend water and is legit blocking an attack from zuko, who trained much longer..., and my man sokka, having no humor, no sexism .... well to me this Remake is more childish then the animated show and what I've seen and heard it gets worse with every episode 😅
I would love to see your reaction to the rest of the series. Either OG or live action.
My understanding for “why are they trying to kill him and not capture him” is that the fire nation is trying to speed-run having an avatar born in the Fire Nation, so that there’s no shot for anyone to beat them ever. It would also break the cycle, so the last fire nation avatar would be the last Avatar period.
Oooo I have a theory of how to make flying Waterbenders they would have to have a ton of mastery of bending but the other condition is that they can only do it in an area where there's a lot of humidity in the air so it would work in foggy or jungle places so they can use the humidity to "swim"
Ooohhh nice
New to your channel and I’m super down to follow you on a reaction (re-reaction?) journey to the animated original!!
I think you'd both fall in love with Nimona, Oscar nominated QUEER animated film.
Also I know y'all would shed some tears 😭
We actually filmed it, and are editing it now 🥰
Gonna need yall to do this for every episode. I need you to compare 20 episodes of the cartoon with 8 episodes of the animation. Idk how but do it lol
This was a great video! While the live action didn't turn out to be my personal cup of tea it's really fun just hearing y'alls opinions on just about anything. 🤘❤️🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
It would be cool to see more of a both series
please please please I would watch the hell out of you guys reacting to the original animated show
Okay, if *you're* not gonna let it go, then neither am I.
Superman didn't have the *option* of surrendering to Zod; not after he already surrendered to him once and Zod proceeded to try to destroy the **entire** world. Even after Supes destroyed the World Engine, Zod said he was going to "take the humans from you one by one". If Superman had left Metropolis to try to draw him away, then Zod would have just gone back and started murdering people one at a time; and we know that's the case because he literally threw Zod into **space** and Zod just dragged him right back to the city. It had nothing to do with inexperience; it was that he literally had no choice, which is also why he needed to kill Zod instead of imprisoning him or reasoning with him. Some times, the hero just doesn't have a choice. This is no kids' cartoon.
Still hate it
@@PinkPopcast Also, that scene was **definitely** taken from "Man of Steel", so there.
I would personally love to watch your reactions to the full season, it’s not gunna beat the original and there’s definitely things it can improve on but I enjoyed watching it myself
I feel like it would be fun
I would love to see you guys watch the rest of the live action 💜 it’s so good
Yall should totally watch all of them!!!
This is so exciting! I love the animated series and would love to see a reaction on it.
Someone said it’s weird sokka never pushed back or questioned aang relationship with Katara. Wathcing this now I realized sokka was the first person to call aang katara’s boyfriend 😂
I'd like to see your reactions to the live action episodes! I feel like for sure there are some very questionable storytelling/plot changes and I'd be interested in what y'all think about it!
It would be amazing to see Benji’s and Rizzo’s reaction to the full animation series
I liked a lot of stuff they did with the live action, but the stuff I like is exclusively Zuko and Iroh lol
I've watched most of the live action and it's ok. But it loses some of the spark along the way and alot of the characterization is a little sanded down and makes a big difference in some storylines. The animated version still hold a very special place in my heart both because I watched it when I was a kid and because it got a lot better later on in the seasons. A ton of the storylines and character arcs pay off or intertwine in the last season and it's awesome! Amazing soundtrack too which always make a difference to me.
The shot outside the ship with the windows lighting up as zuko and aang fight 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please do the rest 🥹 For the animation and the live action
3:27 GLEE!
Bwahahaha nice! Should have edited that in myself
I enjoyed this, and I'd love to see your reaction to more of the Avatar world!
You guys talking about Rufio made me want to both rewatch Hook myself and see your reaction to it. I haven't seen it in a long time, and it sounded like you've both seen it, so it's one that I think might be just as fun as your Parent Trap reaction for things you missed when you were younger.
We actually both don’t like hook that much 😅
Would love for you guys to review the full show 🔥
Yes I'd be over the moon to see you guys react to the rest of the animated series cause I need to finish watching this new live action version.
I'm currently watching both shows concurrently to see if the live action holds up to the anime and it absolutely doesn't but I'd love to yall do the same
😂
