Why Netflix’s Avatar Remake Is A Complete Disaster

  • 14 Years after M Night Shyamalan made his infamous remake of the beloved Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender, Netflix releases their own remake which is almost just as bad. I somehow avoided seeing any reviews for the netflix remake, so that my review could be as much of my own opinion as possible. I hope you enjoy the video!

      @@richwrites5683 Pure action/story-driven shows weren’t really my thing back when it was on (see: Samurai Jack, which I wanted to watch but it was past my bedtime despite getting to watch the other Cartoon Cartoon shows) and *now* the fanbase is so insufferable when recommending it to people that I’ve just avoided it on impulse.
      Like, I’m sure it’s really great and all, but you don’t see Invader Zim fans or My Life as a Teenage Robot fans or even Jimmy Neutron fans aggressively nagging people to watch them while saying the other Nicktoons on the network sucked as much as Avatar: the Last Airbender’s fanbase did and still kinda does.

    Something that made me mad is that airbenders cannot fly when they have earthly attachments and then they completely forgot about that in the new live remake

    • @richwrites5683
      @richwrites5683  9 днів тому

      Yeah I thought it was so odd that they made Aang fly in the remake. It seems like a nitpick, but it STILL bothered me

    • @Genesisc1v1
      @Genesisc1v1 8 днів тому

      He wasn’t really flying. What Aang does is use air bending to push and glide through the air; when he’s floating you can visibly see the air warping around him. However when Zaheer flies, he just straight up goes Superman and doesn’t need to bend air to do it. Aang can float around but can’t fly, so he uses his glider for more sharp ,directional flying. He does this several times in the animation

    It’s crazy to look back on the marketing for the show. The directors and writers being confident and saying “we made avatar the last airbender”. I believed in their confidence, mixed in with how much everyone working on the show apparently loved it. I convinced myself that the show was in good hands…. and THIS is what they give us ??
    Also I’m so glad you mentioned the music. Some people really haven’t talked about it. But they absolutely used just some generic cinematic music sometimes and it was so upsetting that the music doesn’t feel like it comes from that world.

    • @richwrites5683
      @richwrites5683  6 днів тому

      Yeah, I rememeber hearing that the original creators left the show, and I just knew something was wrong. The music is so iconic from the original, and then they just made it super generic here. Its really a big missed opportunity.

    I know this is crazy but I hated the movie less. I saw the movie for the first time a month before the Netflix show released so I was already expecting to not take it seriously, so I took it for what I kind of knew it was. But with the Netflix series I was actually expecting it to be…good?? I was more disappointed in the show tbh.

All of them were butchered. Even kyoshi is mad at him for running away from his duty but he never ran away!! It’s so weird that they made changes but didn’t even stick with them. It’s an easy writing choice to still have him run away, because the script still acts like he ran away !

    The scenes of Katara were removed for seemingly no reason???
    Come on, man... if they had all that, there would be like 8 more episodes just to cover Katara herself. The series, if you didn't get it, is a lot shorter to keep interest, and a lot more to the point. There are many arcs that could not be shown because of time. I am not saying the live action series is great... it is not. There are some things I did not like either, but some points you are hitting on just do not make sense.
    Everything you said about Azula is point perfect! I agree with every word.

They cannot be in the same humoristic vibe as the annimation, or it would be considered silly... you would say it.. surely! In a very tense fight scene is not a place for humor... one is a cartoon, the other is supposedly a real representation... get over it.
