The fun implication of Kanna having a water bending scroll is that it was likely Pakku’s at one point.
Spoiler warning:
Kinda sad they didn’t acknowledge their relationship in this adaptation.
I don’t think so… she said that it had been passed down from the people of their tribe… while gran gran may have been from the north, the north is not sokka and kataras tribe. I personally think it’s from the southern benders specifically
@@jrod42223right? I was waiting the whole time for them to bring it up, and was pretty disappointed that they didn’t.
@@RealBLAlley I'm super glad they updated this plot point with pakku because while I adore the animated show, that resolution only works in animation and through the eyes of young kids. if they keep the same resolution for sexism here, it would be pretty naive in the realism of the live action format. and in the modern age, I'm glad kids have a more accurate portray of th complexity of sexism.
@@RealBLAlley I am indeed curious about that. I swore he kept looking at kataras necklace
gotta love Suki flirting via headlock 😂
There is something very Kyoshi about attempting to flirt via choking someone out.
I had to be the dumbest 15 year old but when I liked this other kid I kneed him in the balls for some insane reason. But hey, he liked me back after that still. 😂
I feel the need to point out that it worked 😂
you like?...
Would work on me😂
Roku gives info, wisdom and encouragement… Kyoshi gives tough love and reality checks 😅😅😅
I don't mean roku had it easier than kyoshi as an avatar, but roku did grow up with the crown prince and he got to grow old and live a pretty chill life with his family in the end. kyoshi was the ultimate struggler though. no wonder that lady is intense.
@@iamai_iggs I’m not mad at it either way Aang needed to hear this. And it’s the same reason he was to be separated from Gyatso. There’s no time left for coddling.
@@noahorakwue2653 Kyoshi is the Asian mom who smacks and beats up her children to behave well
I'm a fan of what they did with Suki and Sokka, it's also a great setup for book 2 when Suki says that she was inspired to leave and help others. I also think that they have pretty good chemistry.
Iroh's actor had said in a few interviews that the show wasn't a 1:1 remake, but a remix...and I think that describes this show well.
That makes sense 💯💯💯💯
she gave a fan away and she gained a fan
Boo Yeah!...
(At least that's what I think Sokka would have said)
@@hemmojito The Kyoshi Warriors may be the Avatar's fan girls, but Sokka became a fan of someone else 👀
Having Aang bury Gyatso was such a beautiful addition
A neat thing I noticed with Momo in the scene when they find him, Momo flies into a peach tree. And Momo means Peach in Japanese.
Very cool!
The chemistry between sokka and suki is hilarious. Like 2 people discovering that the opposite sex exists and they are horny af for each other 😂
They fully ran with the awkwardness. Cute.
"[Kyoshi ] is very much the antithesis to Aang" fitting for an Earth Avatar ^^
Earthbenders are stubborn and blunt like Toph. They’re not known for their good bedside manners.
@@tararocksong5085 I mean Toph and The Boulder are extreme examples of how blunt Earthbenders can be but ya, pretty much.
I like this version of Suki, maybe even more than the cartoon version. Her awkwardness, a result from being so sheltered all her life, leaves a lot of room for growth.
Zhao is my favourite character in this adaptation, way better than cartoon Zhao and Ken Leung is probably the single best actor in the whole show.
i think the purpose of the vision of the northern water tribe was to give Aang a motivation to be more serious about his quest and give it a sense of urgency, in my opinion it works with the rest of the show, the animated show was more relaxed because (not saying it as a bad thing) the only motivation he had was learning waterbending
I agree
It was to give him a motivation to go their right now in the first place, and not stop for an earth bending teacher for example. Until this episode they hadn't made any plans yet to go to the North Pole.
Couldn’t have explained it any better
I wasn't sure about Sokka in episode 1 but the actor won me over in this episode. He nailed the character's attitude so well and I actually chuckled out loud at certain points. I really enjoyed the dynamic they built between him and Suki too, both actors had amazing chemistry with each other and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them later. Also it was awesome finally getting to see the Kyoshi Warriors in live-action, they were always my favorite and I loved how badass they looked
Katara and Sokka were the stand-outs to me in this season. Loving these reactions and commentary!
For me, it was Aang and Zuko and honorable mention Kyoshi. Funny how we all got our different perspectives on things.✌️
mostly, I like katara in live action. But kyoshi with this fighting choreography very well on
fr
I miss passionate and angsty katara. But here sokka is the more mature one (fatherly) than katara being the “mother” figure
@MyPj25 As a writer, I see it this way. Cause of character development, they did not make Katara mature enough like in animated series.
I feel like having Kyoshi show up here was to kind of accelerate Aang’s growth. Sure, he’s a kid, and he basically just got dumped into this whole awful situation, but he needs to get serious. Her bluntness was basically “time to start growing up, kid, or you’re going to have a lot more to feel bad about than Gyatso”.
I love that they just run with the awkwardness and it has to be said again. Sokka is KILLING it...
Finished the series this morning, and while alot of things were obviously left out, I think they captured season 1 really well while having its own charm. Now that the show is over, I enjoy that they switch up somethings, combined scenes and episodes. I think it makes for a more surprising watch for people who’ve seen the original animated show. I feel like it also gives the impression that some scenes that were left out of this first season could possibly be seen in season 2. So overall I’m pretty happy with it overall. I loved Sokka while in the animated show Sokka kind of annoyed me. Cant wait to get into season 2
What I loved most about it is even though we've all watched the OG series (some of us many many times) we have no idea what to expect when we watch the live action. It really builds the suspense. They did a really good job and I just know they're going to look at the criticism we have of the show and improve even more the next season.
While I think that the Omashu arc and "Spirited Away" were very different from what I expected, looking back at it, I like it if I look at it from the series point of view. They even added details from LoK and the comics
Well said, I totally agree!
I think the treatment of Sokka is a step up from the animated series. He's still good comic relief, but it's not just because he's goofy. He's just awkward trying to be a big fish in the ocean, rather than in a small pond. I'm also glad he gets plenty of affirmation throughout the season.
Actually learning from Zuko's journal is a nice touch cause in the cartoon Katara was explaining everything and I was like how does she know about this and Zhao would've killed the moon spirit regardless
There’s nothing wrong with Katara knowing what she did. Everyone in the world knows the story of the avatar and the cycles. The stuff in that book were things he learned from Roku after the communion which happened here with Kyoshi instead.
To me it seems that, in the live-action, unlike the original, not many people know stuff about the Avatar. In Wolf Cove, they didn't even know Aang was an airbender until Gran Gran told them. So I also think that it makes sense the way they did things in the live-action.
@@Omn1Media yeah but if you think about it with the fire nation suppressing everyone that also means that they're hoarding knowledge and rewriting history we actually saw this in the third season of the original series when Aang went to that school so it makes sense in this version for only the elders and the royal family of the fire nation to know about the history of the Avatar plus I really think that notebook belonged to Zuko's mother which would make sense given her lineage
That could be the case but that's where this is getting wishy washy as we are using the cartoon to fill in the gaps and lapses when they've already established the world isn't the same so we don't really know where we stand. I'm only working with information from this episode so far so maybe things fill in later but right now there are a few things that just feel disjointed compared to the previous episode and more so considering the things they've left out. But that's just me. All I'm saying is, I think the original was much more organic and natural with how things progressed. If you like this more, that's all fine and dandy, I just can't meet you there right now.
@@Omn1Media it's okay I respect your opinion and I'm not saying the way the animated series did it was bad I'm just saying this makes sense for the live action series imo
Now that I think about it... original Suki was just way to perfect.
This one feels more realistic... also I can't wait seeing this actress doing to Boiling Rock stuff xD
That will be awesome if they do it!
💯💯💯💯
Did they ever say her name in this? I might have just missed it.
@@Zanroff I think her mom said it or if not her then maybe when she introduced herself to Sokka
@@ZanroffYeah, her Mother did at one point
i like sokka so much more than i ever did in the cartoon. he's incredibly endearing here. maturing him up in these first couple of episodes was a great call, imo.
Kyoshi's a menace to society and I absolutely love that. I'm happy with the change of the avatar possession scene in the winter solstice being Kyoshi instead. I've been craving more of her.
I loved this take on Suki! It was cute how neither of them have any idea how to flirt from living in relative isolation. It was hilarious. She can put me in a headlock any day. And I just realized her super serious"I'm a Kyoshi Warrior" line was very similar to her funny serious moment beforehand getting Sokka backstage with the Ember Island Players in the cartoon.
Kyoshi was so damn cool too. And i love watching this new more conniving version of Zhao develop.
I thought it was a strong 2nd episode.
I don't mind the changes; my only problem with this episode is that they made Kyoshi seems like an emotional/angry woman! I'm not sure whether it's the actress approach to the character or the direction that's not working here. Kyoshi should be soft spoken but firm....like the animated series 🤷♂
I think some of the changes are the result of going from 20 short episodes to 8 longer ones. Multiple animated episodes that took place in different locations are being combined into a single live action episode. Rather than have the characters travel to multiple locations within a single episode, the showrunners decided to just have the stories occur in the same place, which meant that some changes had to be made in order for things to make sense. I've only watched the first 4 episodes so far, but I think they've done a good job of combining things and have no problems with the changes that have been made.
You talk like 3 episodes of the cartoon can't fit in just 1 of this.
I laughed at Zukos outburst in the beginning. Reminded me of Kylo Ren 😂
The scene with Sokka and Suki "flirting" at the beginning is kind of how I feel about a lot of the changes they made in the series. there are a lot of things that are done differently but aren't bad.
The Fire nation soldiers really got the stormtrooper treatment this episode.
Two things that I haven't heard from you or anyone in their reactions to this episode is that during the scenes of Suki training Sokka. By the time we get to the point that Sokka manages to take down Suki in the dojo, the make-up is mostly gone from around her mouth making it easier for her to remove the rest of it and Sokka is wearing the traditional garb of a Kyoshi warrior. This allows him to blend in with the villagers when the Fire Nation soldiers show up.
Props to the actress that played Kyoshi...giant scary lady, indeed. Honestly I liked having Kyoshi give Aang a big 'ol reality check, since he's still avoiding really doing much of anything he needs to be doing.
Suki’s mom is played by Tamlyn Tomita- Kumiko from Karate Kid II
Lifetime crush
Yeah, I had thought that Episode 1 ends with Aang leaving the Avatar State and we show the shrines go off with someone of the Fire Nation saying "The Avatar has returned".
But they just skipped that one entirely
The Avatar returning has created hope.
Where their previously seemed to be none. I could think of no better reason why somebody who might have had their powers pressed might find a new inner strength. It made absolutely perfect sense to me that her powers would improve knowing that the avatar has returned.
“You’ve been willing and desiring all day long and yo mama gonna be pissed” that got me 🤣 🤣 and you’re not wrong about that
To be fair, she wasnt getting any better until the literal moment he was there with her and giving her some advice he learned from his masters. She would still be struggling to bend without him so its a fair to give him credit for her progress. Yes it comes down to her at the end of the day but sometimes it takes an outside force for you to realize your potential and Aang was that catalyst.
I don't mind the exposition clunkiness because I think it's just an inevitable result of the unfortunately short seasons that have become mainstream nowadays. There's no more time for things to be drawn out or for false leads to be explored with only 8 episodes vs the 20+ that used to be standard.
8 episode seasons is the dumbest and the worst thing to happen to television series. It's ruined so many of them.
This series is making bending look absolutely terrifying in the hands of a master.
And I think that's why they're focusing on mastering the Avatar state, because Aang is terrified of that power and who he'll unintentionally hurt while he can't control it. I also think we were shown the air nomad genocide this time to show us the stakes and give us a sense of urgency without a specific ticking clock.
Pulling them in the water & burning them with fire...
Don't play with Avatar Kyoshi!
Kyoshi in action! My dream came true❤
Sokka is the master of all the non bending elements. Kyoshi fan work for the earth kingdom the air balloon for air, swordsmanship from fire nation and his own water nation warrior training
Sokka is Captain Planet’s heart
i love kyoshi b'coz she reminded me severus snape... harsh and tough guy but their point are right; as an asian I approve she is real savage teacher and normal in asia
New subscriber! Great commentary! You hit all the beats I did too haha and I agree with alot of what you said. I like that you are also letting the show be its on thing and appreciating it for what it is ( acting , visuals , story, relationships) but you are also good at noting inconsistencies or things that seem out of place and youre also good at comparing it just enough to the orignal to give good insight. Looking forward to your ep 3 and for 4 reactions!
I love the Kyoshi novels... Kysohi was very progressive. Her first avatar state was by accident and she leveled a large mountain.
She didn't say "only." She is saying there has to be a correlation between Aang's influence and her progress. And she's right. His presence and encouragement did help her get better.
They said there's no ticking clock on Sozin's Comet in this series cause they realistically can't the actors would significantly age between seasons in a series that's supposed to take place within a year
It could be 3 years like the movie or something haha that was just an example, even if it was just something for the vision she had of the North that would suffice. Even though that should be where they were going first anyway based on last episode lol
I had very low expectations for this show. 5 episodes in and im absolutely loving it! I was afraid of the changes but the changes have worked so damn well!!
23:46 Man! You really broke down the Suki-Sokka relationship so well that you should be trending #1 in the Avatar feed already... Great reaction & explanation tbh
I’ve watched a few reactions to this show by now but I haven’t been feeling them fully. YOU however, I can tell you’re gonna be my favorite reactor to this series. Your commentary was basically mine in my head. 😂
They had to delay the comet to make the aging of the actors between seasons make sense. Aang's already a foot taller with a deeper voice. Apparently he grew so fast even while filming that they had to keep remaking his costume. I do wish there was a solid explanation of how theyre changing it here though.
I already watched it all and i think the show did a good job overall. The quality of the cgi is good, but they use it way too much, many scenes would have benefited from more pracitcal stuff and more on location instead of greenscreen. Storywise things are weirdly condensed, if you know the cartoon it is kinda confusing at some points and if you dont it feels rushed (sometimes both). The show would have benefited alot from 10 episodes instead of 8 episodes, the experience would feel alot smoother that way. For me its a 8,5 out of 10
I started cracking up with you during the Sokka half naked scene.😂
Well, Aang does say at the beginning of the episode that he doesn't know what it was that he did, and that he's always been scared of being too powerful. So, he doesn't know what the Avatar state is until Kyoshi tells him. The reasoning he gives for going to the island, which he knows the location of thanks to Zuko's notebook, is to get some answers about how Kyoshi grew into her role. He's looking for guidance. I think this actually makes sense because they have all these side adventures along the way in the cartoon anyway, and you'd think the same argument would apply there too. We know we have to learn water bending at the Northern Water tribe, so why are we wasting time here.. It also makes sense that, if he is already apprehensive about his power, Aang would go to the nearest place to get guidance. Maybe a place that isn't littered with the decayed corpses of his people
I have been hearing about some of the changes from fans of the animation but I have never watched it and this show is really working for me, really well done
I took the point of Katara saying everything changed when Aang showed up as the broadening of horizons and breaking out of the day to day rut, helping her to get out of her comfort zone to actually have to push herself.
Overall, I am enjoying the show, trying to keep an open mind about changes.
Yeah after she said that stuff about getting stronger because of him she turned the focus on what Sokka needed to hear. Her delivery and body language felt insincere to me or like a half truth. But that’s how I read it both times I watched it. I’m glad other people got a less cynical read on it! Haha
@Omn1Media also could be that I'm reading too deep into it trying to give the show the benefit of the doubt and stay cautiously optimistic.
@@playlistb3795 I'm still in the cautiously optimistic territory. I've seen a lot of people really tearing into it right out of the gate while I think overall it's pretty solid, just some things I would tweak that I feel like is holding it back a little.
Great review, I love you thought about it and presented your opinions in a fair way. As for the comet, the reason it’s not mentioned is specifically because of the “ticking clock”. No spoilers: They ended the season in way that allowed for the cast to grow up between now and if we get a second season. In the original series this all took place within a year, and Gordon (Aang) isn’t exactly 12 anymore. 😅 They said they moved the comet revelation, so it wasn’t the focus for this season. That’s probably why Kyoshi warned Aang about the incoming attack, to give this season a bigger motivation to get to the water tribe sooner than later. In a separate note, I love this version of Zhao (and the actor) and the way he’s more portrayed as more of a scheming snake behind the scenes. It’s just fun to see what he’ll do next, and the way in which he will do it. I think the change works for the unique world the live action is building. 😁
A little explanation for the urgency of figuring out the Avatar State could be the fact that he had to go through it alone in this version. No Katara this time around.
So his thoughts might have been:
"Whoa that was terrible. I had to snap myself out of it by thinking about Gyatso. But what about next time? I need to figure this out"
Suki and sokka just had no clue in where to meet and unfortunately his flex (in regard to skill) was her Tuesday
I think them going to kyoshi island to learn about the avatar state made sense because it stems from the danger they experienced during Aang’s avatar state in the southern air temple. They talked about him needing to learn how to control it. Sokka even joking ‘before he kills somebody’. And they went to Kyoshi Island because Aang saw it on Zuko’s note (haha nice little detail that Zuko is super obsessed with the avatar) that Kyoshi has mastered the avatar state. And in that episode, kyoshi demonstrated the importance of the avatar state, noting that it can even save his life (which was seen in the first episode where he trapped himself in ice).
Enjoyed our credits dance break.
TGIF y’all.
♥️
(also Sokka is the GOAT)
I will say…..I was hoping they would include a brief glimpse of the guy that screams and foams at the mouth when they come to kyoshi island lol
I completely agree with you about the whole Avatar state being introduced so soon. The stakes are already high, we already have a goal. There's no need to saturate the plot like this in episode 2. I mean, is there even going to be enough content to explore in season 2 and 3 when they keep cramming so much in season 1? We are already cutting things out this season because of time constraint, do we really need to be adding things that weren't even in this season originally?
Learning information from the book I think makes sense for this Aang as they have shortened the amount of time between Aang learnign he's the Avatar and leaving. In the original, there was time inbetween to learn more about the Avatar. Here, he's told and goes immidetely, so this Aang literally only knows what Gyatso told him in that one conversation and nothing else.
Also, giving Kyoshi this moment I think is a really nice way of immidetely contrasting E1's end (here's the danger of an uncontrollable Avatar State), and E2 (here's the possibilites of a controlled Avatar state). I also really like them tackling into the expanded media that's out now, like they've admitted the Kyoshi backstory in this episode is based on the Kyoshi novels that came out.
I do wish they had used steel fans instead of bamboo ones with the occasional metal sound effect but I really loved how they made sure this episode wasn't just about Sokka learning to grow but really focused on what both Sokka and Suki needed and how their different desires manifested in their growing relationship.
Why does the actor who plays Sokka remind me of Jared Padelecki, looks wise.
1) Your little bit of history lesson on Japan...very cool. I'm gonna look into that. Fascinating.
2) Flirting is an art. A *martial art.*
3) Kyoshi is what I wanted to be long before this show was even thought of.
4) *Daniel Dae Kim is holy damn talented...and way handsome.*
Wasn't a big part of the cartoon between sokka and suki that sokka learns not to be sexist but i guess they had no time for that in one episode
This is a little glimpse into what it will look like when Aang fight the Fire Lord in the last episode as a fully realized Avatar. It is going to look really good.
I was worried about this episode and how it would handle Sokka and Suki's relationship because of all the press relating to the changes made to Sokka's character, but I thought it was handled pretty well.
I think it is keeping with original that Katara feels her water bender improves by meeting and learning from Aang bc Iroh states it himself he learns from meeting others from different nations and it teaches him more about himself. Also she straight up ask him to teach her waterbending. “I feel him has great wisdom”
20:12
There are certain universal truths in the world of Avatar….
Raava is the spirit of Light….
Badgermoles are born blind…….
And you do not…..F*ck……with Kyoshi…….
Lalike u"ve watch avatar mulitple times. I'm happy that there's changes. Makes it feel new
Can we get an “awww” counter? Great video goat
I noticed, They didn’t include Haru in this season where Katara saves Haru and the earthbenders from the ship and that’s where Katara loses her necklace and leads to June where they use Katara’s necklace to track them but netflix cut that out.
I’ve only watched 3 episodes so far and personally I really love it. I prefer the original of course but I feel that this stands pretty well on its own.
Roku is my favorite avatar but DAMN Kyoshi goes hard, that scene is one of my favorites ever.
After i have now finished the series, I actually really enjoyed it
So I like Iroh kinda sabotaging Zuko. His facial expression makes it seem almost on purpose. "Learn how to get what you want without divulging your true intentions"
Iroh doesn't want him to fight the Avatar.
That’s an interesting perspective!
You should look into why kiyoshi used fans. 😜
I have a feeling you will love it. I found out through an audiobook series about kiyoshi on audible.
Yeah Kataras line could have been better about helping Aang. They were probably trying to go for, he’s inspired Katara, brought back hope to her and the world. She can’t put the lid back on, theirs no turning back, this is important, etc. etc. Heck, Katara did the biggest move during the attack for the first time probably because sometimes that’s how greatness comes out of us. When we’re not thinking, we just do it out of necessity.
Aang’s words might have gotten her out of her own head for the first time and it makes sense I’m mean he’s the first bender she’s talked to in a long time if not ever especially about her own bending abilities. I’m sure she feels stunted since her mother died. I mean she’s been practicing secretly so not much but I’m sure she has felt that she could’ve made more progress even on her own and is disappointed and frustrated with herself. She needed something, someone, anyone to get her out of her rut
Gosh I start off critiquing and speculating and end up getting caught up in the beautiful message that is in there 🌊💙
No I think Katara speech is not about just bending. Their life's changing, that's her point
I think the moment where Aang turns into Kiyoshi is also a refrense to the episode where Aang got arrested at a village because Kiyoshi killed there leader and this reminds me of that moment.
I hope that means they dropped that because it was one of the worst episodes ever.
I think Kyoshi told Aang that the fire nation is about to attack the north is for the people that didn’t watch the animated show
I think you're mixing up your knowledge of the animation series with this one. There was never any plan so far to go to the North Pole. That's not how they started out at all. Aang was taken by the fire nation and Katara and Sokka set out to get him back. Then they realised they can't bring him back to their village because it would endanger the village. There next stop was then, naturally, to go to Aang's home first. That's where they discovered Gyatso's remains, the avatar state happened, and Aang decide he needs to complete his training and learn all bending skills - but STILL no mentioning of going to the water tribe. And there is no rule introduced either that he has to start with water first. Going to the North Pole is only set up in this episode, so I don't think that's a valid criticism.
I enjoyed this episode although some of the acting needs some work I didn't expect anything less from a first time especially when dealing with younger actors. But all in all I think they did a great job with certain parts like learning some tough love avatar state from Kyoshi especially since that's who she is and maybe that's the route they're taking until he meets Roku but other than that I think Kyoshi was just trying to show aang how to be tough especially when it comes to fighting where if aang were to meet Roku it might've been different especially after the way he died in the animated series but that's if they'll get into all that. But either way I still enjoyed this episode and seeing Aang turn into Avatar Kyoshi was a plus but it kinda makes sense awesome reaction bro 👏🏾🔥
I don't think Katara being a much better bender after some pointers from Aang isn't that big of a stretch. Aang is an airbending Master. I assume different bending schools have some overlap in how to channel the energy.
well chin the conqueror was tiny man in the animated series, apparently 4'5.
unofficially its said she was 6'5-7 (198-213cm) tall, but in the Legen of Kora we see how she is similar height like Roku, but some say Roku was 6'8 (207cm) and she was 2 inches shorter aka 6'6(202cm).
but Aang also dosnt look compared to them short, and he supposedly was 6'3 (190cm)..
i think they where never consisten with heights cos it wasnt a pressing issue for a kids show.
and even a 6 feet (184cm) realistic height person looks like a giant compared to 4'5 (135cm)
my head canon is every non bending fighting style are just sub techniques of the bending styles
I'd do think the show will get better as it goes on
They made Kyoshi seem temperamental and angry but in the cartoon she’s more calm but firm in what she says. She’s supposed to motivate Aang to feel confident in what he can do but here she just scared the hell out of him and just said no pressure but don’t screw it up
I think the first 25 minutes of episode 1 was for the “newbies”
This entire show is candy for the initiated, but for the newbies they needed to see that 20 minutes of brutality.
I really enjoyed this show. I love the animation as well. But you gotta just sit back and enjoy tbh
I could stand all the other changes in this episode, but not having Aang on elephant koi, and Sokka in makeup is a crime
How about we judge this series on its own merit instead of constantly comparing it to the original animation? Half of these changes are made out of necessity the rest are to streamline the story for fewer episodes. But in fairness not EVERY story beat from the cartoon is essential. So far the story structure here is great. Take for example stealing Zuko’s book. It gives Aang more insight whilst traveling to fewer places. It makes sense within this story. When the intention isn’t too copy the original exactly every criticism should not be ‘this is different and I don’t like it’s.
Right, id just watch the animated show again if I wanted a 1:1 retelling of the story. Its a fun adaptation but unfortunately we all know how toxic the ATLA fanbase can be.
I am glad that they don't use the comet as a clock.
Think about it, this is a live action show.
Our Actors are going to age.
If they release Season 2 in 1,5 years and Season 3 in another 1,5 years, Aang will look like he aged 3 years in 6 moths.
Keep the comet away until Season 3 and let the time flow in a more natural way than in the Animated Series.
That’s fine but some time frame would be nice even if it was just for this vision about the North. To give it some credit, the movie had the comet coming back in 3 years.
A lot of the old characters from Sozin, Roku and Pakku, the three actors dont feel old or sound old.
Gyatso and Iroh is perfect though, although there are times when Paul's Canadian accent is taking me out of the moment. I miss his accent from Kim's convenience
I hope they make a season 2
I wonder if they are saving the Roku stuff for season 3.
In a vacuum the Sokka and Suki dynamic was fine. But her being turned from a stoic warrior that humbled and trained Sokka through his arrogance before acknowledging she likes him.. into someone that's just immediately simping over him from the first time she sees him and then flirting like shes a cliche awkward romcom character in every scene afterward is so weird.
My biggest complaint... which isn't very big. Is its just a little too fast. I'm loving it.. but they could've dragged it out more haha
Sad that the "HE RAN" part was cut
I’ll say this. I know the whole dynamic with Suki and Sokka is different. But tbh, based on how she has grown up, and all that. It lowkey makes more sense for her to be the way she is. (Animation version still better). But I didn’t dislike how they did it
