It's almost like the creators of the movie were like "let's take out all the awesome stuff, dumb it down, take out all the important side plots, and change a tone of stuff that no one will probably miss. We gotta get through this quickly, we only have 3 movies!" And it sucked so there was only one movie lol.
Although this season was not as good as the anime, it is very unique in its own way. There are ways in which the show could have improved and there are areas where it did better than expected. All in all it was 6.5/10 for me
In my personal opinion. Live action adaptations can be accomplished. But there is something about animation where live action is held back, with animation you have far more freedom and control to play with and it lets people adjust tiny details that make a second viewing better. Live action will always have its limits even with the addition of cgi or old fashioned practical effects yet it doesn’t make it automatically bad or better. Everyone has their preferences. Although I do love the fact that the cabbage merchant is the same actor from the original series! Edit: As an adult I love the Uncle even more and it kind of made me an anti war person. “After Six hundred days away from home, my men were tired and I was tired.” You can tell in his voice on a second watch he’s thinking of his son. 😢
IM GETTING READY FOR WORK AND THIS IS THE BEST THING ILL SEE TODAY! Thank you for covering the original, and thank you for now covering the live action, ManO. Loving the content coming out. Congratulations on The Sponsers, they are well deserved!🤙🏼
It was never going to be better than the original--when something is perfect, there's no way to improve it--but for what it was, it was a solid adaptation. My biggest gripes were with some of the defining characteristics for some characters. I loved the actor for Uncle Iroh and I think they cast him well, but a key part of his personality was missing. In this show he was either serious or kinda sad the majority of the season whereas in the cartoon, he's always bringing light-heartedness to Zuko's perpetual cloud of gloom. Iroh is so wonderful because he can go from being wise and pensive to goofy and silly and then will bust out some Dragon of the West a$$-kicking stuff...he's a complex character and we just didn't see enough of that. I get them introducing Mai and Tylee early but for all they added to the story, they shouldn't have bothered. Mai is SO dry, monotone and sarcastic and Tylee is the complete opposite--super bubbly, upbeat and happy...we got like 1% of that from either actor. I guess they didn't really have anything to do other than stand around and watch Azula, but I found both of them to be wholly boring and nothing like their characters. Hopefully they'll do better in season 2. Overall though, it was a decent adaptation. Very condensed (from 20+ episodes in the original down to 8, I expected it) but no major upsets in terms of completely messed up plot points; the acting was decent from the kids but not great. I'd expect they'll get better as the seasons progress, though I will say the guy they got for Sokka was about 97% perfect to Jack Desena's Sokka. He captured Sokka's sarcasm and I found myself laughing out loud at him more than anyone which was great. Yeah, overall, it was good.
This recap shows the outline for the live action series was great. Filling in the outline with bad dialog is where they lost it. I think more changes like have Azula older than Zuko but not first in line for being a girl. Then focus on more adult acting with good writing.
I’m a real avatar fan, I honestly think this love action remake wasn’t that bad. Was it better than the animated series, hell no. But it was nice for true die hard fans to watch something that wasn’t that terrible ass live action. I feel like the covered a lot , did it respectfully, idk what some of yall were expecting but they gave us something fun to renew the series and I fuck with it. STOP BEING SUCH PERFECTIONISTS!!! It not gonna be as good as the original simply because it’s the original. Duh
These recaps save my social life lol! I do not have time to watch long shows like these, but you recap them well for me to get the overall tone and message of the show. I've even watched recaps of shows I've already seen. You do a great job! As for this live-action, I think I love the original show too much to ever be satisfied with anything else. Also, I don't think I am the target audience. I think this is meant to introduce a whole new generation of people to the story of Avatar, and I think that will work. The graphics are nice, and the characters are good visual representation for the cartoon.
2:15 Aang i know you're upset Monk Gyatso and the other airbenders might be gone but you still have a famiky Sokka and i were your family now Now: AaAng please Stop this
I just don’t understand how Sokka cant be sexist because that’s apart of his growth as a character. But they are allowed to be like we can’t teach you waterbending because your a women
Just like One Piece, I understand the anime version is more in depth than the Netflix release. Same is said with this one. I get it. But both are still great and awesome imo. Besides that both shows are worth watching. Love em
Moist critikal made a really good point when he talked about this show. Everything's too clean. Real people living in the South Pole who are poor who probably only have that 1 coat and pants and gloves to go around while they're gutting things to eat them would be filthy. It's the type of detail you see in something like Lord of the rings and not in something like this.
idk why ppl thoguht they could recrate perfect art or why they even would do that, i liked it for the different stuff it did and the stuff it did to honer the main show. compare this to any scence in that movie and this looks amazing so all prespective ig.
Man of recaps avatar the last Airbender, live action. Netflix to us into others, was a success. Let’s pray, believe trust, and hope. to GOD the it gets a second season and a third season just like one piece live action will get it till the end, no matter what people like I said, trust only believe and pray 🙏 to GOD😇
ok, I haven't watched it and do not intend to but it does not seem to be as bad as some say. when you ignore the fact that remaking a cartoon for children as an adult-like war live action show while keeping the main characters as children is an idiotic idea the creators seem to kinda work with what they could it doesn't change the fact only complete morons would think of remaking the original as a live action
I strongly recommend you to only recap entire movies and seasons instead of a single episode like you do with twd. I love your content but you could probably get more done and get a bigger audience if you do more than just 1 or 2 recaps a week
I believe its part of his contract with abc+ as he attracts people to the service by reaping weekly, let him do his thing and get his money he deserves it for how great this Chanel is
@@Arrowzeditz how's Netflix's dick taste cause yours sucking hard on it. I have plenty of arguments on why this adaptation sucks but I am not going to give a nobody like you that just comes in insulting someone any more of my time.
@@Arrowzeditzthe original series had subtext and wasn’t overly reliant on exposition dumps like this crappy adaptation is. The choreography is ok but the random bits of slow mo that are prevalent throughout the series just really degrade the quality of the fight scenes. The only fight scene I remember liking was Zuko vs Ozai cause there was no slow mo in that one.
"Aang should practice water bending too, but this whole season he's like Nah, I'm good" I'm deadd

Not the cabbages!!!
" Saved himself by Freezing into an Ice Cube" that line gets me everytime 🤣
How many times have you watched this?
I give it a 7/10. It's better than the movie that's for sure 😂
Like that's an accomplishment
@@sarahbarnes9648Honestly, I always liked the movie. But, I was also never a fan of the anime (dont like anime) so maybe that's why.

Lets go! Thanks brobro
I knew this show was going to be different than the OG, and still kept an open mind. I rather liked the show and I think they did a fairly good job.

this first live action season mixes things from the animated s1 and 2

Yet another show that makes me ask, "Why? The original was already great, and this is nowhere near as good."
Zuko alone ep live action is gonna be very good
