After the second interrupted ’cabbages’ I just screamed at the screen “THEY ARE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE! JUST LET HIM SAY IT!” Also, I love that the original VA got to play him. The delivery is perfect.
the actor playing Jet was perfect, especially his twin swords he uses
Yes the twin swords were the perfect casting
@@impulserl1848 mmm-hmm
@@rickymoranjr9609 you can’t take a joke?
@@impulserl1848 no I get the joke, I'm just agreeing with you
They got it on the hook
One thing I do like about the Northern Air Temple story being integrated into the Omashu plot line is that it touches on the story of how people become refugees in a war that's different from the OG show but it still works. In the OG show, Teo and the mechanist become refugees when they're home is destroyed by a natural disaster (a flood to be exact). They move into the northern Air Temple to make a new life for themselves, even though the war follows them there eventually.
Here, their home was attacked by the Fire Nation and so they move to Omashu, a city that seems heavily fortified from invasion but also has thriving markets. Teo's dad even ends up working for the king! I like this because during a lot of wars in history, the countryside is often pillaged because villages are less defendable, and armies often raid them for supplies on campaign. These people whose homes are destroyed then end of flocking to larger cities for security and potentially finding work. When I saw these plot points being combined in the trailer, I was skeptical at first but I'm alright with it.
It actually makes way more sense than settling in the northern air temple. According to Aang(our only source about Air Nomads lore), air temples cannot be reached unless you have the means of transportation by air. Fire benders used the power of the comet to fly but how did a community of refugees get up there and second, as you said, it makes more sense to settle in the earth kingdom stronghold under the protection of Omashu's walls.
The only plot hole created by Netflix is that Sai has little to no reason to work with the fire benders given the fact that Omashu's well defended and there's no way the enemy could blackmail him with the safety of his son and his own. If anything, helping fire benders put Sai and Teo.in more of a danger since he could've easily been executed for treason.
I wish they saved him being a traitor for the second season, when Omashu would be occupied
The actors for both Suki and Jet are spot on and also the definition of bi-panic
So fun fact the cabbage man was played by James Sie, who voiced him in the original series
Do you remember what Azula told Zuko when she reunited with him at the beginning of book 2? She said that there were rumors about plans to overthrone Ozai. Looks like that part was true, judging for the beginning of this episode...
I believe the issue with how the writers did Katara is that they tried to remove the more 'controversial' traits of hers, things like her outbursts and any negative emotions outside of the sadness about her mother. I think they did this because there's a specific group of avatar fans who really dislike Katara so the LA writers were trying to make her more 'likable' but in the process removed so much of what made her great. Cause y'know, female characters are often judged a lot more harshly for being anything outside of meek and mild than their male counterparts.
Troy and Abed in Omashu
Montana’s face when she first saw Azula. 😂 Her looking too sweet and innocent is literally the same thing we thought when we saw who was cast as her
hey have you ever thought of making a edit of the live action version of a Atla character vs the cartoon one? I used to be an editor just like you and people did that a couple of times in my day. It can in terms of writing or a fight.
Many people have issues with the actress portraiting Azula and I can understand it. However, OG Azula was written espeifically to be an intimidating villain... something that is reflected on her design (with her sharp features and clothing) and personality (pratically psycopathic). But in a live-action, a character needs to feel realistic and that's what they brought for this version of Azula. This version can really brought up the immense pressure she was in her pursue to be perfect in order to conquer her father's approaval and affection and how she saw Zuko's success as a threat. Not to mention how her "sweet" look can serve as a perfect disguise for her more ruthles side. Nevertheless, Azula is still as conniving as the OG version and that is awesome.
They reference the great divide in the dialog... it's like super fast and hard to miss... it's when zuko and Iroh walk in to get June's help
I don't think that Bumi accepting the Mechanist's work makes it seem like he's on the side of the Fire Nation. They said he's the mechanist of the city and then secretly also feeding stuff to the Fire Nation.
5:32 I actually liked that she was just given the scroll. It makes more sense to me. Her grandmother gave it to her as she was leaving, because she is the last waterbender in her tribe. Makes more sense to me than some random pirates having the scroll and stealing it from them. 😅
I just miss angry Katara, feels like a lot of her passionate/rebellious scenes were cut or changed, but I guess it does make sense
I think I agree that the characterisation of Katara wasn’t the best this season. Even in the OG series, I feel that her best moments are sort of scattered between being a prodigious waterbender, a motherly figure, her mother’s death and a love interest for Aang. She’s a hard character to get right and I don’t envy either the writers or Katara’s actress. However, I think they have set a good base for improvements in the future seasons 😁
I keep poking fun at how Katara got the scroll, but if you think about it, the Southern Water Tribe WOULD have stuff like that tucked away.
Honestly, this is my opinion of the adaptation from the original. It makes alot nore sense that the water bending scroll be in the south pole and that gran gran put it in katara's bag than it being with pirates as it had been in the original. That's just what I think. Either way i like your reactions. Have a good day.
Calling it right now:
- Kenny's gonna hate Bumi's portrail next episode
- Montanna. Idk how she's gonna feel about it.
It’s understandable. The Bumi portrait, even though it makes sense, it is so different from the cartoon, it comes as a shock. I could only appreciate it in a rewatch
Sadly the actresses for Azula and Mai are getting bullied online a lot
It's not the blue fire that you have to worry about. It's the character development and change done to the characters that you have to worry about.
I mean, it's a different show, it's only natural they're portrayed differently
I can see the essence of the characters, and for me that's all that matters
is it just me or does this show push fandom agendas WAY more than the actual stories ?
they focus on zutara A LOT (more than aang and katara at least) they portray kyoshi as a brutal assassin ( which is how most of the fandom view her )
and 90% of katara's scene is just her talking about her mother which we all know was NOT like this in the og series
Everyone hates the changes made to Azula but I feel that the changes made actually do explain why and how Azula has her mental downfall in Book 3.
Got to give credit to the actor playing Azula, a person pretending to be a person pretending to be a person.
This is the first time I started to have problems with this adaptation. I understand that given limited time, combining arcs from different episodes was necessary and I'm ok with that. But the way it was handled was so clumsy.
1. The mechanist being in Omashu makes sense. He and his son are refugess, so settling in the second remaining earth kingdom stronghold makes sense. But here's the thing, him giving fire benders designs makes zero sense in the context of this show. He's behind Omashu's walls, under the protection of an earth kingdom military. Why would he cooperate with the enemy?
2. Jet and the freedom fighters have no business existing in Omashu. They literally have nothing to fight agaisnt like they did in the show.
It should've been handled in a much smarter way.
1. Cut the mechanist being a traitor storyline. Save it for next season, when Omashu will be occupied and Sai would actually have a reason to work for the fire benders.
2. This is more of my personal suggestion but i think that would be a very creative way to fix Jet. Conbine Teo(the mechanist's disabled son), Haru(from "Imprisoned" episode) and Jet into one character. Show his bloodthirsty attitude towards the fire benders, foreshadowing him forming the freedom fighters in the second season. Once again, him leading a resistance will make far more sense under occupation. His anger at Bumi will also be justified given that he surrendered the city. You could even make him disabled in the end of season two after encounter with Dy Lee istead of killing him off.
Combining different storylines was always the only way to make live action work but it should've been done smartly and not in such uncreative, illogical way.
I don't fully like how they showed ozi.
No problem with the actor or his performance, he's perfect.
But in book 1 and 2 he's coverd in shadow and they don't show his face until book 3 and it makes him feel more intimidating.
But it's more of a nit-pic and 1 of I think only 3 small problems I have with the show.
My cabbages!
Kenny, do you recognize the actor of Ozai? Daniel Dae Kim voiced Hiroshi Sato in the Korra series
24:52 "it was fun to watch"
.... so ...that was a f*cking lie.
For Katara - I kinda get the gripe that they've tamped down her character - but only to a certain point. While Katara does have a lot of anger and courage in the OG ATLA, she doesn't really start out that way in season one. In the first season, Katara is sweeter, more reserved. She has moments where some anger comes out, but she's softer, more emotional. It's when they get to the Northern Water Tribe where we really see her anger come out. And then in season 2 after she;s mastered water bending, we start to see her impatience, attitude, and rage. I think that's what they're doing here... giving her moments of anger but no true rage - not yet. At least, I hope that's what they're doing. Building it up instead of showing it at the start.
An interesting thing when comparing the shows is how the episode length vastly changes the experience. When discounting the stories they chose to cut the total run time is basically the same for season 1. With 20 minute episodes they managed to tell a very compelling story each episode, with a clear plot and purpose. It also made it possible to jump to a vastly different location every 20 minutes. If we were to follow the cartoon perfectly, but doing 8 long episodes instead, I think it could lead to it feeling very rushed. Imagine them visiting Kyoshi, travelling to Omashu, and then helping Haru all in one episode.
Combining stories like this is quite a clever way to include a lot of the stories from the cartoon, without having to quickly travel between locations. However, as someone who's watched the cartoon multiple times it also makes it feel like just that, multiple episodes squeezed together, so I think it works better for those who haven't watched the original. Personally I was open to a much looser adaptation. Focusing on the character journeys for S1 and making up new stories to fit that if needed would have been very interesting. When the focus is on retelling as many stories as possible you risk losing focus on the personal journeys of Aang, Katara, Sokka and Zuko. But I also get that it can be fun to witness your favourite moments from the show in a more realistic style.
I feel like that part of the reason why we don't see much of Katara's fiery nature is due to the fact the live-action is much shorter than the OG show. That is always the downside with shows with few episodes, they can never develop the character as better as the ones with more episodes. Because the live-action only has 8 episodes, they were forced to cut, combine or change many parts of the OG, what includes those moments where we see Katara's intensity. Because of that, we see more of her hopeful side, instead of the scenes where she loses her temper. It's not like we don't see her losing her temper. She still does it, but we only get to see it in especific moments of the live-action.
The changes done to Azula and Ozai's characters are kind of a double-edge sword for me because while I do quite like that the way Azula was abused is more explicit here, I don't know how much of Azula in general they'll have to change to make the character work with the additions. And before someone says it, yes Azula was abused even in the original, just because she was the favorite doesn't make the way she was treated fine, and yes some people do deny she was abused at all. I'm open to the changes if the later seasons follow up on them well enough.
You should react to Amphibia, Kipo, or Young Justice.
how could the firelord attack the prophet... long lives kevin castiel always on your shoulder
MY CABBAGES
10 views sheesh guys give the couple they props🙏♥️😒
Check again
15:06 We’ll you know, it was really unclear 😅
Why does it feels like ,Fight choreography is done by Jackie Chan😅
It sucks that the og writers from the cartoon quit the LA series bc the writers for this had a lot of creative differences.
Oh boy can't wait for the next episode or at least to see the reaction to the next episode episode 4 is the one if you know you know
I actually don’t think the combination of multiple plots here was fine primarily due to show time. This showed total showtime is not that short compared to the original show. The episodes are each more than twice the length of the original series episodes, and even if you only counted it as 2x, that would be 16 episodes worth, and just dropping The Great Divide alone means they only need 19 to do everything the same. It’s true they added various things such as more of the timeline 100 years ago, Azula, etc., but even then they dropped other stories so they weren’t that pressed for time.
They did need to combine some things for the longer episode format of course, and another big factor was probably the cost of sets and costuming. Dropping the Northern Air Temple location is unfortunate, but it probably saved them a huge amount of money in sets, moving shooting, and possibly different costuming, etc.
I think you can see the sets and other cost reasons behind a number of other decisions as well, although there are certainly some changes they made that seem random, especially coming soon….
Great reactions as always!
i hate how everyone excuse the runtime for mashing things together but making it 8 episode is their decision from the start , they could have made it 10 or 12 or 15 episodes but they didn't did that so either make mashing stuff proper , give justice to storylines and don't f up everything.
although i really like aang and zuko fight that reminded me of OG.
I think it’s because of the budget, but then again this is an really expensive Netflix show.
@@TheAangGang yeah they used all the budget in vfx ( don't get me wrong I love vfx , I'm a Vfx artist 10 years experience) , because of this mixing and mashing we lost Roku moment , we lost aang katara bonding moment in caves we lost all the small and funny scenes lost the world building almost. Zet actions were so extreme in ATLA OG here no harm done and he got stopped so easily.
also they too later season elements and added in this where they already didn't have enough time for everything . and also why ozai is softy in this version towards zuko , why did zuko tried to fight him in agni kai why did aang just went for walk before his entire nation got destroyed not he doesn't have guilt for leaving his people in this version we didn't ran away he just went to clear his head.
But I like how they weaved the episode stories together, just because it’s different, it’s interesting
@@EpicRandomness555 different is not bad, issue is because of this so much content got removed and so much they changed and because of this changes character arcs doesn't make sense now. Katara is prodigy from the start, sokka doesn't learn anything to become great leader in the end, zuko is already a good guy how are we going to cheer for him to turn to good side if he is already a good guy. All azula and ozai stuff, koa spirits they should have left them for next season, also because of koa and Wang shi tung they didn't even solved the hei bai problem they just left him because they needed to do so much in a single episode.
The joy I got when I saw the cabbage man was incredible 😂
I think you guys should know it’s not going to be the exact same it’s an adaptation so there’s a few changes but imo I really think it’s a good show on its own with no comparison to the animated series
the issue with that thinking is that his IS an adaption and honestly a not great one at that, on its own this show would probably be really fun but if you have seen the original show i don't really think there's anything special about this (keep in mind i'm watching these reactions as i go with the show so something might happen in future episodes that could change that but as of right now, i don't think this was needed and if they really wanted to make an adaption they should make sure they have enough episodes to tell the story properly
@@whpg5ek the meaning of an adaptation is they include some of the story and they can make changes if they’d like, personally my opinion is it’s a great show and it’s okay if you disagree 🩷
@@Lightningjazz i completely agree about this being our own opinion and I’m glad that you could get enjoyment out of this show even though I couldn’t
I’m gonna steal that cat
Where's the ep 2?
TBH I use you guys as free streaming service..💀

wheres ep's 2 reaction I can find it 🥲
💗
I personally always thought the guy in the cart with katara was Harry but it seems to be jet
pls react to haikyu
I don't think azula bends this season at all might be in season 2💀 also Kenny please not the body builder pose💀💀💀😭😭
React to naruto please
