i like that azula has a character arc where she is becoming more of a perfectionist where her fire slowly turns blue
OMG I FORGOT
The Aang and Gyatso scene got me hard, this adaption really did a good job in diving deeper in showcasing their relationship, Gyatso waited a 100 years to see the friend he loved before he could move on that's amazing.
Phrasing
pause
Hard? Ayo XD
phrasing issues aside lmfao, very true
So here's a fun little story. One day me & my sister were talking about how Koh would be even more terrifying in live action. And after a few short minutes I bring up how crazy it would be if Wan Shi Tong was actually in Season One & how unsettling he'd feel...
You can obviously imagine how psyched I was calling that
Koh definetely got way scarrier by becoming a predatory spirit. And I got quite surprised when I saw Wan Shi Tong this early and meet Aang, Sokka and Katara. It makes me wonder how they will do the library episode.
I think Wan Shi Tong's cameo was more ensuring that both him and the library can appear in a potential season two (it hasn't been confirmed yet, hence why I say "potential"). By allocating a piece of season one's budget to making a high quality cgi model for Wan Shi Tong, it gives less of a reason for execs to cut him in book 2.
You don't make a cgi model that good for a momentary scene (once again, practically a cameo) without the intention to use it again.
I agree. Now that Wan Shi Tong appeared, we can be more relaxed about having the library episode. I am just curious about how they will adapt that episode. I mean... the reason why Wan Shi Tong mistrusts Aang and the others is because Zhao used the information he got on the library to kill Tui and end waterbending. But that doesn't happen in the live-action, so... what will caused Wan Shi Tong to turn against them? Could it be that he always had the rule to not use the information for war or cause harm on others? Or maybe it's something else enterily... I can't wait for season 2 to come!
I thought it was kind of pointless from a storytelling perspective to have Wan Shi Tong here. I don't know what it adds to his appearance in season 2, and there was already so much happening in the Spirit World that it felt a little pointless to me. But if it was just to make sure they have a model for season 2 so it's not gonna get cut, then I guess that makes sense. Still a bit weird but not a big deal.
Wasnt the calendar for the eclipse in the fire nation?
@@Lightning_Lance I thought it was just because they wanted to introduce them to a more "impressive" spirit, instead of the talking Monk-ey (pun intended) from the original. Aang doesn't talk to Roku, so they needed someone else to introduce the audience to the spirit world.
My main issue is that it breaks up the pacing narratively speaking, this episode was all over the place. Also a lot of tension was removed from Koh the Face Stealer. He seem more generically creepy, than downright unnerving and threatening.
Fun Fact: the actor who is the voice of the owl is also the voice of Master Oogway 😱😱😱😱
Dies from peak casting
How did I never realize that. I mostly recognized him as being the Keymaster from the Matrix or the Continental Doctor from John Wick, I can’t believe I never recognized him as Master Oogway
@@sleepywalker87sorry, but Keymaster for me will always be "I am the keymaster!"
The interesting part about The Fire Nation in the Netflix series is that they ACTUALLY show them burning people alive! They didn't hold back on how deadly they really are and why people fears them! 🔥
That part is childish, as is the screenwriter wanting this kids show to be his "game of thrones". They wanted to show the Air nomad genocide, not because its horrific or necessary to show, but because its a cool action setpiece. Even the actor playing Aang is quoted in an interview saying "I think the genocide is really cool. I mean not like that, but its gonna be sick!" Somehow this version ended up more juvenile than the original in some ways.
This episode in particular brings things from much later into season 1 and invents new stuff, but it meant all the CG budget was spent to the point where Roku gets like 1 minute of screen time and doesn't even have a dragon any more lol (well, he was a pacifist so maybe that's why they gave way more to Avatar Kyoshi). Bumi's pet gorilla-goat Flopsy is also gone in favor of having the librarian owl, the talking fox and Koh. Bringing forward all these extra elements just makes the things that were cut even more questionable. By the end of Season 1 the main characters have barely been together but they still want to depict them as close friends.
@@Uhcip tbh I know what you mean I think they were trying to aim for a broader audience. New people to the show haven't been dying for a ton of those moments like other fans have. I think showing the war helped interest a lot of new fans, this is coming from a new fan too. It got me to start watching the old animation. I think it's really unnecessary that peoole are mad about little things like rokus screen time. I enjoyed the show a ton and as someone who is new starting with a backstory made it a lot less confusing and got me to actually finish the episode. I completely understand what people are saying though since a lot of elements people were hoping for weren't included. But I hope that season 2 will get a bigger budget with more screen time to display a lot more little details like that. Also ive been thinking about what people have said about aangs waterbending not being used in season one and I think it made sense he didnt automatically go into the avatar state and waterbend without knowing how any of it works. I think thats one thing I preferred in the live action!
@@UhcipAlso I think people are missing out on a ton of details the live action included that the animation didnt have before. They really found a way to tie in a lot of emotion with aspects of the enemies main characters have. Like for kuruk to have a history with koh and his wife made it a lot more sad and gave a reason for kuruk to have hatred for him. Not to mention how predatory they made him. Also the part they added saying the 41st division was actually zukos boatmen that he chose. It really ties in the compassion zuko has that he tries to push away and we end up understanding him more. The show definitely made zuko a lot more likable and same with sokka. Removing his sexism didn't ruin his character development in my opinion since he still has that narcissistic funny tone that sokka in the animation has. I think as a new viewer if I watched sokka constantly tear down his own sister id be furious and would think hes completely useless. I think they did add a hint of sexusm in episode 2 with suki though because he still underestimates her, possibly implying because shes a girl and in order for him to be attractive for her he'd have to be better than her. I think it made him and princess yue's love a lot sweeter too!
yup, that was one of those things they did better. you can only go so much with off-screen or ''implied'' deaths in a show that tell a story about war
They also skip Jeong Jeong so Aang doesn't try and learn much with water nor fire at all, making his journey kind of basic. The elements they brought forward like Koh the face stealer are just kinda dumbed down? He no longer has to keep expressionless as to not have his face taken and there's the laughing baboon face without the setup of showing a faceless baboon earlier so its just kind of random nonsense. I don't get a lot of the choices in the script really.@e
Fun tact: Ther actor who played Gyatso is called Lim Kay Siu. He's a verteran actor in theatre and film... and he hails from the tiny island of Singapore! So glad for Singaporean representation in such a wonderful adaptation!
His talent really showed. Had me near tears in the first episode when Aang lost control.
Wasn’t expecting it but his character is one of my favs from the LA
That’s awesome
This episode got me in the feels sooo hard. Some little things I like: that Katara tried to bend to save her mom, but what that failed it probably left her on some level feeling like she got her mom killed (even though of course she didn't). That Hakoda had doubts about Sokka, not saying anything bad about him but something that'd still be crushing to overhear. And yeah Aang hearing from Gyatso himself that it's not his fault. Oh I cried man.
I expected Hei Bai to appear at this point, but early appearances of Wan Shi Tong and Koh were surprising. Even in this adaptation, they still look intimidating!
I genuinely appreciate how much they've expanded the original by adding in the lore from the expanded Avatar Universe especially in regards to the spiritual realm and avatar's themselves!
I don't think Katara got smacked by Hei Bai. Pretty sure if she did, she'd get smacked and thrown back farther. I think she barely dodged it, and fell down before the swipe made contact.
Thats exactly what happened. You see her duck and then she trips so she falls down. She didn't get smacked so that scene was actually done well. They could've made it a bit more obvious but at the same time,it was done well
I still can't believe they showed Wan Shi Tong already. Also, the Aang and Gyatso scene is so good. This adaption really did a good job in diving deeper in showcasing their relationship. Gyatso waited a 100 years to see the friend he loved before he could move on. That's so amazing and tragic.
Guess we are not gonna see the Library next season
I also got surprised when Wan Shi Tong appeared. I knew he would appear still this season, but I thought it would be on a flashback where Zhao would have found the library and learned about the true form of the Moon and the Ocean, like he did in the OG show. But it was interesting how they incorporated him... while still keeping his condescending attitude towards humans. I wonder how they will play out the library episode, since they changed the part that Zhao found the library...
And he’s voiced by oogway as well
@@andrewrowland1989 Oh, I believe we will. The fact that they have already a cgi model for Wan Shi Tong only proves that we WILL have the library episode. I mean, how can we not have it? After all, it's a very important episode since that's where they learn about the eclipse and it's when Appa is kidnapped. So you can relax on that.
@@rafaelmatos5851 isnt the calendar shown to be in the fire nation so how would we get the library scene or anything from that whole sequence…
I found it fitting that they chose to make the va for wan shi tong ,spirit of wisdom, the same voice actor for oogway from king fu panda
Bumi was one of my favourite characters in the original, and I absolutely love how they portrayed him in the adaptation. Once old Bumi reveals who he is, it's a pretty safe bet that he's an ally, and nothing to worry about. The new Bumi always keeps me at the edge of my seat, wondering how much of what he did was him testing Aang, and how much was genuine madness. It makes his scenes a lot more tense, and compelling imo
Boom casually dropping that Instagram bear joke at 6:34 is sending me.
The actor they got for Ozai is honestly the best casting choice in the entire show.
Katara didn’t get hit by her bai. She just fell back when he missed
I kind of like the change they did with Koh. Instead of making him steal only the faces of those who express emotions, he actually becomes a predator that "feeds" on lost souls, stealing their faces, what causes them to remain lost forever, since they lose their sense of individuality. That aspect only caused him to become even creepier and scarier. And we got to see Koh steal a face for real, since we never got that in the OG show. And not just that, but we get to see that he also had history with other Avatars besides Kuruk, showing that the resentment with the Avatar transcends more than just one lifetime. IMHO, that change was actually well done, something to make the live-action its own show and stand out from the OG series.
I saw a theory that makes future episodes even more intriguing to see, about why Katara's mom was killed rather than captured for being a supposed waterbender. SPOILERS FOR THE CARTOON: The last waterbender from the southern water tribe was Hama, who could blood bend. They got to the village, who had already been stripped of waterbenders, looking for one more - for Hama, who recently had escaped by using that power. They had orders to kill this time because of her blood-bending, not just for being benders in general. Which makes the Hama and Katara future moments even more fucked in a context, even though I don't think Katara ever put that together.
6:35 When Boom says his DM's are filled with Bears, does he mean Yoggie, Winnie, Fozzie and Baloo, maybe some Bernstein and Po action too? New here, but seriously what? 😂
4:18 I can see why certain people didn't like it but realistically I absolutely loved it because if I was put into position as Bumi, living throughout the 100 years and seeing your best friend who was supposed to save the world turn up out of nowhere, that's how I would react and that's how I would talk to him and show him and try to prove a point.
I totally agree. I mean, the OG show is meant for kids, so of course they will tune down certain aspects to make it kid friendly. But realistically it's understandable why Bumi would resent Aang. After all, Bumi lived through all the duration of the war and, after becoming king, he had to make extremely hard decisions to keep an entire city safe and reasonably well. All that can cause a severe trauma and change a person profoundly. That's a thing the live-action is doing quite well, showing the harsh reality of war: death, destruction, trauma... After all, this is meant to be as real as possible. And yet people complain about not being like the OG show.
yeah I think they did a great job with Bumi, his motivation in this makes a lot more sense than wanting to teach Aang a lesson he already knows. Like, in the original, I almost feel like learning to think like a kid is more a lesson that would have made sense for Sokka to learn.
I don't mind it either, but in execution I think they messed up. They shouldn't have had Aang recognize it as Bumi so quickly, as it did lower the stakes from Aang for the audience (especially since Katara and Sokka as hostages are missing) as though he's in any danger after the guard saying as though he wasn't the lucky one after Iroh was being taken. What they should have done is keep the additional tests (essentially they would be the ones for Bumi to make sure that it's Aang and not just any other air nomad that somehow managed to miraculously survived) and upon the initial set of tests Bumi should have had a smile that it was old friend in realization that he is alive and wasn't killed along with the rest of the air nomads, however after some time to process it his mind could have had for his expression turn to that of anger (a display of ranging emotions in few seconds happiness -> grief-> disappointment-> anger) that after all this time his "friend" has the gall NOW to finally shows himself and that is when he conducts the final test for their fight especially for when Aang has make the choice to save the earth king as he doesn't yet know it's Bumi and he would still want to save him as this would also demonstrate the audience that Aang cares even about those he doesn't know and going into how his culture views all life as sacred even to those that would commit suicide without any care for their own well-being to get the audience to like his positive attributes. The other reason for why the animated show did the identity timing right was that it was to lessen Bumi's brutal lesson on Aang upon realizing it was his friend.
@@rafaelmatos5851 you mean it makes sense that his 12 YR OLD BEST FRIEND was suppose to stop a war and because he didnt he deserves that from his BEST FRIEND. Bumi wouldve known aang wouldve died if he fought…. They butchered everything great about bumi. The same bumi THAT LET THE FIRE NATION TAKE OVER JUST SO HE CAN WAIT TO RETAKE HIS CIVILIZATION BACK.
It also brings in a lot more tension imo. Bumi is one of my favourite characters in the original, but, once you learn his deal, that's it, you know he's an ally, and not a threat. Whereas in this show, you never really know whether he's messing with you, or really about to fly off the handle, and that makes me a LOT more engaged when he turns up on screen. I still can't figure out exactly how much of what he said was a test, and how much was genuine madness.
i just wanna thank you guys for these reactions. i binged this last week and wasn't a huge fan of it, especially this episode. but watching you guys watch it has made me appreciate it so much more. you guys literally made me enjoy an episode I kinda hated when I first watched it LOL
You nailed it! 16:35 Changing stuff up and pulling on new lore (such as more spirit world stuff/past avatars ect) which was established after the original series aired only serves to enrich the story we have. I'm so glad they are taking this approach rather than trying a direct 1:1.
Before the show felt kinda mid, but this episode really made me warm up to it. Even though I didn't like how they presented spirit world, the acting is very good and I really like how they translated designs of the spirits into live action, really well done. I liked the usage of fog of the lost souls to show flashbacks, since we didn't have a chance to see how it affects people from their perspective in Korra. But I don't like how they basically dropped Hei Bai immediately in favor of Koh, and appearance of Wan Shi Tong wasn't really that necessary. Next episode is probably my favorite in the season though
I'm glad you already watched Korra so you know the fog of lost souls! It's such a nice nod to it, interesting that they included Korra related stuff already
I appreciate how you guys are watching this show with an open mind, couldn't be me though😭
After finding out Master Oogway is voicing Wan Shi Tong, idk I'm suddenly a bit more okay with his random cameo lol
at any rate thats stellar casting
Wan Shi Tong was supposed to appear in Library but since in this one they never really mentioned the comet, there's no rush to go to the library at all. Showing him here actually not a bad choice
The calendar is in the fire nation
@@SenseiSage23 I know but it doesn't mentioned until the end of the series also they only said soon, no specific time. Wan Shi Tong could be back again in season 2.
@@ichanjoe1273 the whole point of the library is for the CALENDAR why else would they go there… theres no reason for the owl now just that he does exist
@@SenseiSage23 the Team Avatar could still go to the Library if they found out about the Comet tho and meet him there. It will be a little "we meet again" Kinda moment.
@@ichanjoe1273 but that still wouldn’t work.. the eclipse is only on the calendar and on one BURNT up parchment labeled “the darkest day in fire nation history” so they would have to invent a whole new reason to go to the library. Aang learns about the comet from ROKU so taking that away from roku is even worse. Its bad enough they already made him insignificant season 1 where he was prominent
Bumi wasn't unfair. Where was the Avatar. "Oh I was in an ice cube time capsule because my past lives put me there." That's not a long story. Saying TLDR is not acceptable when I have to fight a war for 100 years. Bumi should have been upset in the original.
YES!!
Embrace the joy!
♥️
I cant lie, showing Katara's backstory SO brutally is nuts. But that's something I can't complain about in this series, seeing her mom actually DIE is something the og series didnt give to us.
It allowed us to infer/assume she did die, but just not on screen.
Its so good i want season 2
2:30 Bonzu Pippinpaddleopsicopolis the Third was the cover name Aang used to get into Omashu in the animated series.
When I was scrolling and saw this thumbnail I got so frigging excited because I thought you guys were reacting to Legend of the Guardians The Owls of Ga'Hoole! Because the owl in the thumbnail is really really similar to the design of the Barn Owls in Owls of Ga'hoole, but then I read the title and was disappointed haha
But hey, there's an idea for a movie reaction for you! It's an amazing movie that's not talked about enough. Great voice cast, epic characters, great story, beautiful music, amaaaaazing visuals! So I hope you see this comment and find somewhere to watch Legend of the Guardians The Owls of Ga'hoole because it is a truly amazing movie! ❤❤
I heard people complain that they jammed the owl into the episode like the other things in the Netflix series. It's not gonna be the same as the OG show. XD
Well... at least they already have the cgi model for Wan Shi Tong, right?
Soo mixing the books is a good thing? Putting stuff from book 2 into book 1 when almost half of book 1 was cut off? Where haru? Wheres the mechanic and his people that are living in the air temple? You know people who are significant to the story and come back to help during the invasion… wheres the rest of jets people? Like all that’s book 2 stuff was unnecessary
@@SenseiSage23 The Mechanic was in the last episode. Why do "fans" never actually watch the lore they want to complain about? If you don't want to watch an adaptation of The Last Airbender, then just don't, instead of skimming through it, and pretending to have an actual opinion on it.
@@cynicat74 the mechanic is in the last episode oh yea forgot since hes so insignificant in the live action and why is he in the last episode when he shows up so much sooner LOL and again wheres HARU another significant character
@Sage23 The Mechanist in live-action is in three episodes, invented air-travel, and has single-handedly introduced an entirely new element of warfare to the world. He has several plotlines relating to his character. How tf is that "insignificant"?
Haru fights in a grand total of two episodes. How is he a "significant" character?
I don't know how you've gotten this so backwards, unless you haven't watched the show, like I predicted.
Hey, since you guys now have a studio, aren't you gonna do the eggcellent challenge from regular show?¿
I loved koh's design and actor. It was just the right amount of creepy. Also, the actor for the owl is the same one that voiced master oogway, Randall Duk Kim.
10:47 Katara didn't get hit, she dropped down to avoid it
This episode I just watched 😂 making me cry and then scared within seconds is a crime I almost died of a heart attack
This is probably my least favorite episode, or maybe it’s the next one. Only because I think the Spirit World didn’t have to be extended as long as it was. You end up losing a lot of character development with Katara and Sokka and for only 8 episodes, it’s just not worth it.
Also, showing things like Katara’s mom just makes sense since the animated series waited until Season 3 to get into it. The animated series didn’t have to do that, so the live action series made sense to just throw that it in. It made sense lot of sense for stuff like that to be brought up right when she leaves the South Pole.
Not a fan of Sokka’s dad saying those things though behind his back. His dad was always proud of him, and that’s why he was okay with leaving Sokka to look after the village.
I was surprised that Wong She Tong showed up there. I thought that he’d show up during a flashback with Chao. He did go to the Great Library in the animated series, so I figured out that’s why he was in the show. I thought it was a weird place to put the owl since he’s such a great spiritual character.
Also, Koh the Face Stealer is one of the characters and parts of the show where I thought this is why some things should stay animated. It’s creepy looking, but just stuff like that should be left alone.
I won’t spoil the Fox…
it feels like they jusy wanted to show more "cool fight violence" then actually understand the nessage the cartoon was trying to say, like i hate that people are calling this "more mature" because of it
It is. The animated show only alluded to and vaguely covered the more mature aspects of its world because it was rates for 7 year olds. This being PG13+ allows them to show the realities of the world and the war much more plainly and openly.
@@Akaeus doesn't make it more mature tho
@@nope19568 But it actually does.
When Jet dies in season 2, in the cartoon it was so shrouded and unclear, that the producers had to actually confirm he died ...
And why was it that? Because "it's a kids cartoon, we can't show people die" ...
Which means, actually showing people die, is more mature ... showing the violence and death, is more mature than just alluding and hinting at it ...
@@BestAnimeFreak yeah, for ratings lmao, if anything i think needing to see violence to make it seem "mature" makes it immature imo like do you really need this stuff spoon fed to you, was the implications of a child dealing with genocide without showing outright violence too hard to get?
Since the library is in book 2 we will very possibly still see it, they just introduced the wol before.
For those people worried that The Library episode and The Swamp are compressed into this episode, let's relax. They already have a CGI model for Wan Shi Tong so they 100% will reuse it for season 2. Plus, the Library is essential for the Day of the Black Sun info AND Toph's decision to save the team instead of Appa.
Also, the Swamp is needed for hinting to Toph, AND swampbenders showing us that the water in biological things can be bended as well, foreshadowing to bloodbending for Season 3.
I don't know why so many people hate this show, it's good. It was never gonna be a 1-1 recreation, it is an ADAPTATION, like the One Piece Live Action.
Simple because most people have made up their minds to hate it because different
I dont think its that before opla came out majority was hating on the idea but when it came out almsot everyone loved it. Poeple probably hate it because of the writing in the first 4 episodes@@Kingcrimson_1456
@@gamingparadise3390 I mean, if you scour the Internet, more you’ll probably see what I’m talking about
Ozai in the Live action is actually much more intelligent and strategic, in the animation he is basic a clown with power that like to bully those Who disagree with his orders.
Someone didn’t actually watch the cartoon
Yeah, showing us the extent of his manipulation, and how he's constantly encouraging his children to hate each other, just to improve their firebender, shows how truly deranged he really is. It was always implied to be going on, but actually seeing him constantly abusing both of his children, physically and emotionally, is something else entirely.
@@cynicat74 hes never abused azula… that was a huge change that made zero sense. Ozai loved azula and made sure zuko knew. “Azula was born lucky you were lucky to be born” like gtfo with that. Only thing azula got jealous how the MOTHER loved zuko had nothing to do with ozai
@@cynicat74 ozai “praising”’zuko to get azula riled up was completely out of character
@@SenseiSage23 It's almost as though they're two different characters who just share a source material, or something. Wild.
This is like watching someone claim Disney's original Snow White is a shit film, or that they don't understand the source material, just because it's different from the original story lmao
9:45 Who is Billy? And what's the problem with him? 😂 I didn't understand
Is it just me, or is the actress who plays Kya also the one that plays the mom that dies in LA One Piece?
8:14 lol. Right??? 😅 she’s something else
If because we met wan shi tong already that we don't get the library ark....I'm gonna be PISSED!!!!!
If his appearance isn't foreshadowing for season 2, I don't know why they chose him except for recognition alone.
@@NotInTheFace111 It's rather simple.
He is a rather "big" character (even though he iirc. only appears in one episode? xD), so when they skip the library or just ignore it, he wouldn't show up and a lot of people would be mad that he didn't show up.
So now they can point to this episode and say, he did show up.
Yeah I like the habi,the owl ,kitsune spirits but the face stealer spirit in this live action episode scared me in this episode reaction it made me jump in scared/creepy who agrees with me?!
7:54 No that just makes me wish they showed it. That being said I didn’t want to see the great divide again. However I did want to see sokka rizzing up the soldier they talked about in the beginning.
The story is going a little fast but I do hate the direction they're taking the story. The way they've been weaving all of the narratives I feel like has been working well for the most part.
just to clarify idk if u saw it after but katara didnt fall into the wrong way when the spirit tried to catch her. She fell and the spirit of the forest missed thats why she didnt fell to the side
Appa is best boi
Koh scares me
This episode is so good
This episode is good
Koh scares everyone. And he got even scarrier in the live-action by becoming a predatory spirit, since he now doesn't need for someone to make a facial expression to steal a face.
Out of Hei Bai, the Owl Wan and Koh the face stealer, who was the Scariest?
4:25 I feel like we didn’t really get Bumi. In the place of Bumi we got the old fisherman from “The Storm” who was blaming Aang for disappearing and said he turned his back on the world “Well, don't be so smiley about it. The Avatar disappeared for a hundred years! You turned your back on the world!…Then I guess I must have imagined the last hundred years of war and suffering.”
They made Koh look extra fleshy and gross, which just adds to his overall creepiness!
I saw a lot of people complaining about Azula being jealous with Zuko, saying that Azula Is not sentimental but just a Psychopath, it looks like they didn't pay attention to her on book 3, she always was jealous of Zuko because he had all the attention of their mother
I see that on the live action they are working on that with her, Ozai making their childrens to have a grudge against each other and make her to be a perfectionist, when she reaches her potential she's going to be like we saw her at book 2, treating Zuko like he's inferior to her and think that she's perfect, but at the end she's always had that jealousy because her mom doesn't love her like Zuko and want to get her father's appreciation, all of that covered with her perfectionism and her friends, at the moment that her friends leave her, and even Mai hitting her with "my love for Zuko is stronger that my fear at you" starts to broke her and when Ozai just left her on the Fire Nation, she just broke down and started to get crazy
Soo because it happens in BOOK 3 it makes sense to put that in season 1…? Its a stupid decision to try and paint azula as a victim. Azula: “Im going to celebrate being an only sibling “
Ozai: “Azula was born lucky you were lucky to be born” said to ZUKO. Ozai loved azula cause she’s just like him. He never needed to pit them against each other.
@@SenseiSage23 Azula it's a character that is her story already established through book 2, 3 and the comics, what they are doing on the live action is just putting everything together even she wasn't on book 1, the same thing was on One Piece live action with Luffy's grandpa, I never said that she wasn't a psycho, but even people like that had a reason that makes them like that
@@ivanelugo She is a psychopath my guy like what LOL “ Im going to celebrate being an only child” her throwing rocks at animals AS A KID, joking about her family death so her dad can be firelord, mocking iroh cause he had a heart and stopped attacking ba sing se cause he lost his child. Even the mom asks herself whats wrong with her. like yall need to stop and accept people can be evil just for the sake of being evil. She followed her dads shadow. Theres no sympathy for her especially for season 1 that SHES NOT EVEN SUPPOSE TO BE IN.
@@SenseiSage23 and I never said she wasn't, but everything they are doing about her on the live action is established on the original series and comics, they never showed her like a sweet girl on the live action
@@SenseiSage23 same as some characters on the One Piece live action, they added characters that aren't from that season, but they do because everyone knows already those characters from the original series, or you're angry because they showed Ozai's face on season 1 and that wasn't happened until book 3
"Is this panda spirit thing"
Hai Bai is the spirit's name, not being nit picky. even I forgot the spirits name for a second.
You guys are very generous.
Why more pain fr 😂😂
8:51 master oogway!!☯️🐢
Ruff looks like the hakodas actor
after finishing the season we got, the only nitpick I had was Katara. The line delivery mostly. Sometimes it felt forced and other times it felt rushed. Other than that everything was really nice. The small details and costumes are AMAZING, the casting is AMAZING and it is such a lovely adaptation for the fans.
10,000% better than that gods awful movie
I will say this was my least favorite of the episodes even though it had 2 of my favorite spirit characters. {Koh & Won Shi Tong}
I love how creepy and ethereal both Koh and Won Shi look.

I hope rhey have katara as the painted lady in the last one like in the last book
Also, Erick, Ackshually it's pronounced Pai Show not Pai shaow 🤓
Like can someone explain the hate on this show
Most Avatar fanboys hate change, ironically. They treated Legend of Korra the same way when that came out, too, just because it wasn't more of the exact same show.
bad writing, sets feel fake at times cuz it is (would it have killed them yo be on location like just a bittt more), flat direction, bad pacing, bad dialogue, missing the wholeeee point of the og cartoon... i could go on
@@nope19568 but did you have fun watching it ? Cause it was Hella different from the og but for someone who never watched it it could be great
Because it sucks
@@plantcrone9662 then why do people enjoy it
there is no fun in basingse
Personally I think the show is cluncky, mostly poorly acted and a pail image of the anime, having said that, the conclusion to the Zuko story in this 2 episode arc being his crew is the 41st division was better than the anime, my hat is off to this scene.
please react to Danny phantom you'll love it
This is one of the main things I didn’t like about this show. I didn’t like how they crammed all these spirits into one episode. Especially Wan Shi Tong
Sure they could hone in on the genocide, but they didn't have to ruin Bumi's character a little. They could've sprinkled it in a little bit from lots of characters or don't make Bumi so spiteful. Also they didn't really do as good a job with the spirit world too and they sidelined Hei Bai (Panda spirit) quickly too. Another thing is Sokka in this episode. Like the whole thing with the ice dodging is it's done when you're like 16 or 17. Hakoda (Sokka's dad) left when they were 13 so how did he do that trial?
To live to be 100 while you are responsible for protecting a city in a perpetual war and not end up bitter is very unlikely for anyone. The original Bumi was very one dimensional and here we didn't need time wasted on "what's my name" which is practically all his episode was. This version is more grounded in the world as more than just the weird senile best Earth bender by being affected by the events of his life in a reasonable way that is very relatable.
@@Akaeus You're missing the point. It still doesn't change anything I've said. Not to mention he's part of the White Lotus. Hindering the Avatar would be against the White Lotus. Not to mention Bumi was never normal, lol and just because you think he's 1 dimensional doesn't make him so and even if it did it doesn't change the fact Bumi is loved and they did a disservice to his character by making him so spiteful.
For me this episode was the decline of the show. Didn’t like the rest of the episodes
😳I had to stop after this episode and go back to rewatch from EP 1 🧏♂️ treating each episode like it's a part of the Marvel "What If Series". Once I did that, I ended up liking this alot more than I did ❤.
so we just need to pretend this show isnt cannon?
@@nope19568 🤷♂️ it worked for me lol
@@bmatth81 but that shows that it just shouldn't have been tied to the og in the first place, if you wanna tell an og story tell it in an og way instead of backpacking of existing ips
@@nope19568 well in a since you are right. Maybe they should've expanded it to 12 episodes instead of 8 so they didn't have to cram so much stuff and rearrange the plots of stories so much. But no matter what way you look at it, it's almost impossible to tell the full true story in just 8 episodes. I think they listened to the fans about what they wanted to see in the series and just combined it all to fit the narrative of what they were trying to get across. But no matter what , 🤷♂️ atleast it's better than the movie.
@nope19568 it's a reimagining not a reboot. It's not officially canon but follows the basic plot and character developments while adding in what the kids cartoon could not
