    I appreciate that they didn't gloss over the true brutality of the Fire Nation's attack, because war is brutal and savage which gives this show an added layer of maturity. Additionally I like that this episode starts and ends with Aang at the Southern Air Temple because it better displays the kind of grief that Aang is going through, we get to feel the time period that Aang himself experiences in leaving home to waking up and finding it destroyed which does a great job in condensing episodes in a powerful and meaningful way.

    I stumbled over a fun fact, the other day. The idea of the Avatar spirit being reborn into a new vessel in each lifetime echoes the tradition of the Dalai Lama, believed to be the reincarnated spirit of the Budda. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet, and each one surrenders his name in an act of humility to bring themselves closer to enlightenment. The current Dalai Lama (His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama) bore the birthname Tenzin Gyatzo!

      It is the same reason as in the original: he is cryogenically frozen mid bending in the Avatar state.
      When Katara breaks the orb (here with bending, there with the club) he resumes doing what he did before he was frozen: airbending in the Avatar state.
      And he put a lot more energy than he needed to in his attempt to save his life because that is what is released here.

    @Pixlriffs 4 місяці тому +8

    I’ve watched the first two episodes and so far, the show really has the heart of the original. I was not expecting to feel emotional seeing a statue of Yang-Chen in the air temple, but hearing Aang got his tattoos in that room is such a great detail which adds to the lore without disrespecting the animated series. And they got Appa right, he looks genuinely adorable.
    I think the young actors all have a lot of room to grow - some of them are mumbling or rushing their way through dialogue because it feels more natural, perhaps trying to avoid seeming melodramatic or forced. I felt that with Aang, Katara, and Sokka on several occasions. But I like this show enough that I hope they get to keep making it, and they can grow as actors and start to nail the subtle aspects of performance in future seasons.
    Overall so far I’m enjoying the show, really enjoyed your reaction, and looking forward to watching the rest of it.

      I agree. I mean, you can still notice a tinge of Sokka's sexism (which makes sense since he comes from a patriarchic tribe), but, in animated series, he basically overcomes that after meeting the Kyoshi warriors, so there's no point in dwelling too much on that in the live-action, especially when it was used mostly for comic relief. Not when Sokka has much more features that define him even more... and were all captured quite well in this live-action.

    The airbender massacre was always this unseen atrocity of the past. You didn't get to see it, but you didn't need to, the skeletons in the ruins told the entire story alone.
    But oddly enough it kinda works showing it. It's like the infamous Order 66, you have seen the original you KNOW they won't survive, they won't win the day and not even the children will be able to hide for long, but you still somehow have this false hope where you're screaming at the screen for the characters to run, as if the outcome has not yet been decided....even though it has

    I binged the first season of the animated series for the first time after seeing the trailer so I could watch it with my son since he watched it growing up. We watched the first 2 episodes last night and both of us LOVE the route the live action is taking because it's telling the story more linear, which is easier for most people to follow. Love the backstories being told (and shown) early on instead of having to wait to episode 8 or 9 of the animated series to get the true Avatar history, along with that of the characters. Didn't like how they made Gran Gran make Aang feel so guilty!I shared your reaction with my son.

    Only seen bits and pieces of the original series, and I just finished watching Ep 1 before I came straight to your reaction. My thoughts so far: The action is great, and it’s amazing they found a little kid who LOOKS like Aang, can do the action, *AND* can actually act, which is mind blowing to me. I feel like the big weakness is the writing, and the actors for Sokka and Katara. Nothing against them, they’re just normal kid actors and I’m sure they’ll improve, and overall I really liked this, but I hope the writing gets better, at very least.
    Let’s be real though, the action + the kid playing Aang are going to carry this show and make us happy even if the rest doesn’t improve. It’s definitely fun.

You're not going to get a live action show that's a one for one of its animated counterpart. Hence why it's an ADAPTATION. The acting is fine all around, the action is top notch, especially the way bending is depicted, and the visuals are stunning. So far they have done way better than it's movie counterpart but if you're going into this expecting a scene for scene retelling, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment which is a YOU problem, not the shows problem.

      I hate that stupid quote, horrible things that try steal your money shouldn’t be enjoyed and quote absolutely shouldn’t be used to ignore lazy, horrible or ignorant writing. Not saying any of that fits this show it has some quality but has plenty of questionable changes that are not needed or feel like they lessen quality of telling the story or even just makes it feel just an expansion and watching the original is main way to experience it. This is fine and all but lessen quality is lessen and should be questioned a bit. Just saying shut up and consooom like a weirdo is not great.

    Nitpicks be damned, I really enjoyed this opening. My main complaint is that the pacing feels way too fast in some places but I think that's because they have to cram the meat of the story into only 8 episodes. The action though is fantastic imo, I'm so glad they finally nailed what live action bending battles are supposed to look like. Also I got chills when the main theme kicked in during Aang's fight with the firebenders. The soundtrack was the one thing the movie did well but I'm glad they brought back the original motifs from the show

    I like how them establishing Aang's relationship with Monk Gyatzo early on also helped tie together the scene where he goes into the Avatar state. In the original it was Katara who pulled him out of it, but since they skipped some episodes to mash together in episode 1, it was his last conversation with Gyatzo that brought him back to earth.
    There was a LOT of weight in those flashback scenes and I'm not mad at it.

    18:00 I always thought it was the logical conclusion.
    Because that allows us to understand why the fire nation never retrieved the bodies of their fallen comrads from the siuthern air temple in the animated show.
    Of course we could assume that the fire nation simply decided to leave them behind, treating death in battle as dishonoring them.
    But seeing as Gyatso gave them quite a fight we could equally assume that the fighting went on for so long that the comet was gone before more troops arrived from the other battles... because unlike the convenient writing here, we are led to believe that Sozin areanged simultaneous attacks on all four temples.

    This definitely met my expectations! I was so worried about this project after Mike and Brian left over creative differences, which makes me wonder if the showrunners took that to heart and made better choices. I like how they adapted the story and made it a little more gritty, Sozin burning that earth bender alive and killing Gyatso would never have been shown on Nickelodeon! All of the bending and animals look great, the story and characters are on point (I was a little worried about Sokka's humor, but they nailed it).
    I'd be curious what Mike and Brian think of this now, and if they support it and/or would be willing to collaborate for seasons 2 and 3?

    • @michaelklaus
      @michaelklaus 4 місяці тому

      Umm... there are a ton of writing issues in this season.
      For example we have the intro narration but also the original intro narration in Gran Gran's monologue.
      But most of the information is also delivered when Gyatso tells Aang which in turn also is spelled out in capital letters in the council scene. The only thing not in those two scenes is Sozin's secret plan but we see that playing out and he spells it out in capital letters in the throne room scene.
      So they deliver the same information 4 times in less than 42 minutes.
      The visual language is also all over the place.
      Why waste an establishing shot on CGI instead of showing us the things Aang later tells us about him?
      What do Dutch Angles half heartedly when Gran Gran is speaking?
      So yeah... I wouldn't want to work with these people either.
