Has anyone else noticed that there’s a roar that goes off in the background whenever Iroh firebends?
I saw somewhere that the creators wanted each person's use of bending sound distinct as well as look distinct.
@@gtjohns220In this case, dragon roar because he is the dragon of the west?
@@ansleywimer9873 Yes.
@@gtjohns220 That is cool! I wonder if we might hear some other ones that relate to the fire bender?
Well yes he is the dragon of the West after all lol
My heart STOPPED when Momo was hit. I thought “No way they’re killing off Momo, I will murder everyone.” And the Koizilla scene was done perfectly. I know it's not the original, but as far as adaptations go, this is pretty damn good.
At least better than Avatar Ong just throwing big wave and push warships away
Regardless of whether you liked it or not, this show seems to have absolutely divided people. People's opinions are so all over the place
Imo the changes they made to the plot were for the better physics wise. The line Zuko says "you rise with the moon, I rise with the sun" is cartoon physics. No way the sun rises up that quickly in real-time. That got cut. Also Katara and Zuko fighting somewhere else not in the Oasis makes more sense to allow Zhao to be at same time trying to kill the Moon spirit. Speeds things up given I think Netflix still did a good job with the 8 episodes they had.
@@ashhabimran239: nope, not really. The noisy haters (which they get paid anyways) is only a single digit percentage of the entire audience.
Honestly, i didn't care for momo or appa in this. There was no real time with them because they have to budget the cg. OG ATLA did more with less imo.
i loooove the "im tired" in the end... in the cartoon avatar starts book 1 with uncle said to zuko he should rest a bit and zuko said he want no rest.. and its ending with zuko realizing that he should rest a bit.. even in book 2 the uncle-zuko theme in the beginning and in the end is similar hope they bring it in the life action
yeah.... a man needs his rest :)
The simultaneous "Oh!" at the fire nation ships...😂😂😂
Boom's sassy comments during the water-zilla scene was perfection! I'm dying over here!
have you guys heard of the theory that states that Princess Yue was supposed to be the next avatar after Aang? Yue was supposed to have Raava's spirit in her when she was born , but Aang was still technically alive in the iceberg , which meant that Raava never got reincarnated into Yue , hence she was born spiritless and was helped by the moon spirit .... Just a theory at this point but its a goddamn wild one!
That actually makes a lot of sense, looking back at the cartoon
But if Aang didn't get frozen he would have most likely died anyway and when a Avatar dies a new one is born around a week later. Yue wasn't even born for another 84 years (she is 16 so she would have been born 84 years after Aang got frozen). Aang would have to live to be around 96 years if Yue was going to be the next Avatar. Not impossible just unlikely and with all the other mysteries the spirit world has she could have lost her spirit or had a very weak spirit due to some other cause.
While in theory, it sounds good, the main thing that is wrong with that is, she would not have been a true avatar, because they would’ve been no one left to teach her how to air bend.
@@meganhutcheson5867I mean she could have contacted Aang and had him help teach her or something
That’s an amazing theory and I’m completely standing by it from now on lol
Netflix really gave us mini heart attack with that momo thing, I was ready to throw hands when that happened 😂
I have waited since the Shyamalan movie disappointing me with the giant wave scene to see Koizilla in live action. Honestly felt like a kid again seeing the ocean spirit wreck some fire navy!
"how do we get these characters to the spirit oasis?" "idk have momo push someone out of the way of a falling rock"
It was a great move, they get to introduce the oasis plot line , re unite the characters, show the oasis's water healings attribute AND improve Sokka and momo's relationship
😉😉😉😉
@@sebastyann123😂😂😂😂
@@sebastyann123Man, you really like lazy and contrived writing.
@@za-ir5ni You can't deny it works though. Go think of something deeper and more complex and create your own adaptation lmao
I felt the emotion from the confrontation scene with Zuko and Zhao. It was pretty heavy, just from the performances of the actors.
And not a single drop of water was bent by Aang the whole season.
I think it's cool they removed the whole Aanng bending a giant wave out of nowhere when Katara could not do anything and then having Katara reach master level and Aang being so far behind. For me, they have the opportunity to really develop Katara as his actual teacher. If there's a season 2 I'm pretty sure they will show both of them training while searching for Toph
So did you miss the whole part at the end where he turned into a giant sea monster? Granted it was the ocean Spirit but it was still his body doing the bending.
@@SlimKim3 It wasn't Aang. The characters said that multiple times.
One thing they set up in the beginning was Aang skipping out on training and being afraid of hurting people. He’s been hesitant to begin the other disciplines while embracing the helping others part of being the Avatar. It doesn’t help that the other disciplines aren’t quite as defensive focused as airbending, which he already knew was capable of hurting others. Plus, they don’t know about the comet yet.
I did not know the creator since rescinded his response to leaving. It's good to know, relieves some pressure of feeling like its wrong to watch. I know I shouldn't feel that way but cant always help it. When Momo got it I freaked out, but I actually am glad cause it gave a worthy reason to head to the oasis. I was hoping Zhao would of been taken by the ocean spirit so it could in the future connect him to Korra if they ever decided to do her story as well. But thats ok. The Ocean monster was insane and I am happy with the result! A lot of the quotes were direct from the season finale. Even Zuko saying he's tired. I got to hand it to the actor who did Zuko. The emotion and skill we got from him, I am so impressed. He is the best choice they made. Iroh being the next. Overall, I am actually fairly pleased with the season. I understand a lot of the artistic adaptations, most made sense or they made it work smoothly. My only gripe is Bumi, but I have since cooled on it. With how so much has progressed and done well I feel confident in heading into the next season when it returns.
The show has been renewed for book 2 and 3🙌🏾
Gotta hand it to the VFX team, the look of Aang x Water Spirit was really awesome!
Do you mean vfx
@@Kingcrimson_1456 Edit: Actually, yes.
Not just that the lighting when the moon disappears was amazing with explosions highlighting color in black and white scenes was a really playful idea
@@Majin_Reitrue that was adapted from the animated show tho they just had to get it in live action and they nailed it
the one thing that i've been keeping in mind for the costumes not getting dirty after fights and such, is that in the animated show it was rarely dirtied for ease of animating. there were still moments where they showed tears or filth but it wasn't a constant visual for EVERY fight. still brought me out of immersion sometimes but it was also easy to just accept it as fact in this version of the world
Yeah but its a cartoon so expectations are different from live action.
Momo almost made my heart get out of my chest.
I losed my 11 yo pet just a year and a half ago, that punched me too close.
16:19 Fun Fact: If they didn't have a Way to return the moon spirit... Aang would have floated around as Godzilla forever. The Spirit only left him after the moon spirit came back, he gave control over to the Ocean Spirit similarly to how he gives control to other Avatars, but the Ocean spirit's objective wasn't to just swish away a few people and then live peacefully without it's friend
Again, I love that Uncle’s fire attacks has a slight roar of a dragon sound effect.
I’m glad y’all were so positive during your experience watching this! I highly suggest reading the comics-I was pleasantly surprised that the live action pulled a bit from those too and it would answer some curiosities y’all mentioned during this show 👀
Overall, I think the live action was fine (as a child, I’d be eating this up and watching it religiously lol) but I think it shines the best when it doesn’t try to directly replicate specific lines and actions point for point, and instead does it’s own unique take. Still familiar but also fresh for old fans
Koh's mother is NOT dead. I mean, we are talking about the Mother of Faces, the spirit that crafts the faces for every being and brought identity into existance. If anything was to happen to her, who knows what could happen. Maybe the next generation of beings would be born without faces and, therefore, without an identity. Or maybe every being would lose their faces and be deprived of their identity. Koh's reason to be upset for Roku to steal the totem of his mother was because it allowed him to feel close to her. Koh misses his mother, being the reason why he steals faces, since they are pieces of her work.
I was initially surprised by the overall scores (anticipated everyone being in the 8 range based on how much fun you three were having). Once I sat back and reflected upon the commentary and constructive criticisms you shared over the course of these 8 episodes, the scores made a lot more sense. Being critical of something you enjoy doesn't mean it wasn't a fun journey and this adaptation was a fun journey with some interesting changes and pockets of compelling performances. Hopefully they'll take the triumphant from this season into season two and especially give Aang some better writing.
0:58 I'm sorry, did that blade just Shlink getting swung through normal, non bended air?
I had no idea they did that, that'll make yard work way more fun, just gotta sharpen grandpa's old fashin weed wakin blades.
I love the show. The extra scenes that add tot he overall worldbuilding and character development are what really do it for me. Some things could've been done better, but I'm happy that it's getting a second and third season. It's becoming a bit annoying seeing people dunk on it without focusing on the genuinely good parts, and I'm glad you guys loved it.
7:10 The whole point of the koi fish was that the two spirits gave up their immortality and thus had physical, mortal bodies. In essence, no different from just your average fish. Another example of showcasing how delicate and precious a thing life is, and at the same time, how merciless it can be.
The fact that he said it’s me Wario and boom has a W hat on 😂😂
After watching this series, I honestly feel like Netflix should have just made their own original series in the Avatar setting. All of the original scenes that were written for this show were great, and they added on so many little details and bits of context that really deepen the world. But when it came to actually adapting the source material, it was a complete mixed bag. If they got to do an all-original series that would have been amazing.
Overall, one of the better adaptations of an animated series. The pacing felt rushed, and I disagreed with some of the story changes, but it's a solid season.
Exactly It was not a 10/10 but i was a solid 7 or 8 and some people are acting as if they did every single thing wrong lol
@@sebastyann123 I attribute it to bias against live-action remakes (and remakes in general) since animation is often disrespected.
Roses are red
Seeohknee is blue
Ruff is Kenough
Boom's spicy boom boom
5:04 for a second, i almost thought this was Zach Callison when i say the show
Aww I was hoping for higher scores they seemed to love it
We did enjoy it a ton. Like we said, its flaws are entirely fixable.
the Katara & Zuko fight was so good was because Katara's water bending was amplified by the full moon.
What really hurts the most about Hahn's death in the live action is that in this one, he's not a rude and stuck up jerk like he is in the animation. It makes you actually feel sorry that he could not get his good ending so to speak
I respect the hell out of this reaction, because I genuinely didn't enjoy this show, but I'm really glad some people did!!
ALSO KOH'S MOM *IS NOT* DEAD. She's in the comics The Search which covers finding Zuko's mom.
Got a simple solution for that Pakku fella...
Just sit him down with eyes wide open and show him "The wrong way to use Healing Magic"...
Then he would understand how broken as hell healing magic could be.
Both win then.
Now that you've tackled the ATLAB universe, I hope you will check out Disney's Gargoyles. It was Avatar growing up. The characters and stories are just as complex and compelling.
8:30 Wait... Does that mean Momo is going to be half Ocean Spirit going forward?
The Moon Spirit already healed someone, Ocean's Turn.
Book 4 Better have Godzilla Ocean Monster Momo saving the day!
6:45 My reaction would be... Alright Piccolo good luck with that.
Edit: Yup, guess I'm on Kenough's side.
Oh shit I had no idea that’s why they don’t us swords
The season gets a 7/10 for me, not perfect but I enjoyed it outside of some questionable choices, dialogue, acting. I am hoping they are able to improve from feedback for future seasons because books 2 and 3 are my favorites .
I think a seven is appropriate, overall I enjoyed the show. The action, visuals and special effects were great and so were the cast. I think they did a great job on the bending but I think they could have done better with the waterbending, the acting and pacing could've been better in some parts as well. I'm glad the show is getting a season 2 and 3, but they have some things to improve on going forward.
18:56 Billy from AT he slayed an evil ocean... also he fought a bear!
The creators worked on the first and sixith episode which interesting since Masks (6th) is most people’s favorites.
sorta random but if you guys get to it, you should watch Reservation Dogs, its a great watch and very bingeable because its only 3 seasons, 10 episodes each and less than 30 minutes per episode. Its very funny and witty and perhaps the greatest representation of indigenous culture we have today. But also the actress who plays Gran Gran is in it, as well as the actress that plays Yue makes a guest appearance in Season 2 and her character in that was quite hilarious. I found it appropriate that they mostly casted Indigenous actors to represent the Water Nation.
21:07 "The Lemur... It's waterbending!"
I agree with the 6.5-7 rating. It has the potential to get upto an 8.5 if they seriously improve upon on the script, dialogues and pacing in season 2. The actors should get better with experience too, there were some awkward moments where it feels like a high budget cosplay. Fan service is nice but storytelling is the most important and visually seeing characters grow.
Yes! The water monster Aang creates! Love this part!
That finale was spectacular bro
In this show you can see the money spent, I really liked the cgi. It would be great if you react to Percy Jackson and the Olympians
I love what they did with Kurok, they expanded his lore so well. I wish they punished Zhao with the spirit world for his crimes but it doesn't matter too much, it's still good. What I hated was everyone started to respect Katara so much to the point where Pakku put her in charge of his students and then she DITCHED them! They got killed because of that! It got me mad 😠
spoilers!!! read this after watching The Legend of Korra season 2
.
.
.
.
for me it was a 9 out of 10, because of 2 reasons, first, Zhao died and can't return in Korra (if ever would be one) in the way we know it! and died so soon so he didn't see the moon coming back to life...
Secondly, some heavy episodes were mixed into one, so we didn't get an northern airtemple episode and we haven't been introduced to pirates (yet!) All in all , I loved it and I think the spirit episode was actually better than the original! Of course I don't need to talk about the visual effects in this masterpiece.
Attention to detail was one of fundamentals in cartoon for example how Sokka and Katara took Toph by her hand when they needed to run away and there was no hard ground under them and how Katara took Momo's big ears down when they was sticking out when 5hey were hiding in one episode and so much more!
Dialogues sometimes was taken straight out of the arse especially stiff Katara, and mostly that is not actors fault, it's damn writing...
Could complain about hour from now but I still did like this adaptation mostly bc of Zuzu and Iroh (this was their story) and I love it 7/10
“Nooo, it’s not over” 😈hardest line of of season 1 for avatar all together
I think zukos actor is iffy but when it comes to the emotions showing when he bends he killed it 😂 I love it I only wish aang accessed his state when connected with the fish and more time seeing katara bend cuz she went off out of nowhere but anything else I liked they had me scared for momo I almost cried in front of ppl
7:11
Spoilers for the comic i guess
Ko’s mother - Mother of Faces spirit, is who is protecting Zuko’s mom. She swapped her face n memories to allow her to live a normal life so Ozai couldn’t send anyone to assassinate her.
So does Momo have a piece of the moon spirit in him as well now
I definitely enjoyed it. I always find remakes or whatever to be so interesting when I already know the story because just when I think I know how things are gonna play out, even the slightest change can mean big things. In all honesty, there’s very little that comes to mind that I would complain about. In fact, unless I saw what those were specifically, I can’t even remember what bothered me now. The only one that comes to mind is that I kind of feel that they ran Aang blaming himself for leaving all those years ago into the ground. I liked Bumi and Kiyoshi throwing it in his face, but it seemed like almost every other line was Aang shaming himself for his lack of involvement all those years ago. At the very least, it was a relief when he’s finally given the conclusion that the past is the past, but he’s still around to shape the future. I still expect it to be brought up, but I hope that he’s not the one who brings it up as much from this point on.
I don't care how many fireballs you throw, you're not gonna win against the entire fucking ocean.
This show was 100000% better than the movie. My only criticism i have is that Katara has no more room for growth and made her a "master" in season 1. A few episodes ago she couldnt do a whip so i dont feel she has had enough time to become a master. A prodigy may be, but certainly not a master. Mastery takes time, effort, and proper training. I would feel a lot better if Paku said Aang couldnt ask for a better teacher to still alow her time to become stronger.
You said the American privilege regarding the wars and I agree as a legal immigrant who also has brothers and relatives in the base ❤
Hes gonna died isn't he ? ... yup! Lol had me dieying
Zhao died in different ways in different versions of the series
I love this show so muchhhh!!!
How did Yua water bend when there was no moon?
She literally is part moon spirit. If the moon can push and pull the tides, Yue can create a little ice.
I love that Ang's whole purpose of season 1 was to go to the north and learn how to waterbend. Not once in the whole series did he water bend.
Mike and Bryan are a lot like George Lucas, they are great world-builders, but not necessarily great writers. It seems like the more control they have over the writing, the worse their product is. They're at their best when they have other writers helping out with the script. So yeah, the live action show wasn't great, but I don't think Mike and Bryan could have saved it. I think it would have been a lot better if they had 12-16 episodes.
I don't think Zhao killed Koh's mom, he killed the moon because the moon and ocean spirits became mortal once in a year
The entire fleet is on water attacking the water benders?
No collective can come together and create a monstrous title wave or the air bender make a water tornado. Or the earth benders come along and open a hole in the earth.
I’m done
Are you kidding me the ocean never loses Never Ever I've never seen it ever Lose💙💧
The siege of the north is better in live action than the original cartoon. In almost every way.
Wasn’t a fan of these last 2 episodes. Like I dislike them. The fact that katara basically becomes a master level just from thinking of good moments with her mom and had no training
There's 2 whole episodes after that that shows her growing in skill. And 4 episodes afterwards for her to be considered a master. She wasn't a master right after talking to Jett.
But she is really strong, even in the original. Only person who was able to do better is avatar. Katara was a natural strong waterbender, and aside from some things that was shown in the show that she really struggled, she picked up a lot of technics really fast. Just as an example look at bloodbending episode, she was able to understand and learn how to do it in just couple minutes by watching someone else do it.
And as for thinking of good moments, Aang was right that after understanding how to waterbend she need to use emotions to give shape to waterbending forms, but because he was not listening he missed point of what exact emotions it needs to be. Jet's suggestion was just the push she needed to understand what exactly makes waterbending take the form she needs.
in the original, it has been approximately 2 week long time period between pakku's accepting her as a student and fire nations attack. and after that we dont know how long she stayed and trained by him until they leave.
what im trying to say is, even in the original, having a teacher was never a big factor at her becoming a master. the biggest factor was always her raw talent and ambition.
In the animated show they never really go in depth of showing how she became a master waterbender either. It goes from her being accepted to train to then giving lessons to other warriors on how easily she can beat them.
Stop feeding the TROLLS guys, 😂 Troll comments are troll comments 😂
4 minutes ago it uploaded BABY
Personally the shot of the full fleet kinda made me giggle, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure a naval battle on that kind of scale has happened, like, once, and that was in the 1500's.
Not gonna lie, your scores confuse me. You guys seemed to have really enjoyed the show so I'm a little confused as to why you gave it a mediocre score. Anyways, I personally found this adaption really enjoyable. Yes it has its problems but not enough for me to call it a fail. I know a lot will disagree but that's just my opinion. Overall, I'd give it a 7.4/10. Like somewhere between good to amazing. Closer to good.
I’m confused by your confusion. Cause your score is barely different than theirs. Haha. And even lower than one of them when you yourself said you enjoyed it.
@@newsiesmario2242Because I suck at scoring so I went with what felt right 😂 To me a 7.4 to 7.9/10 means it was good but not perfect. Like I feel like anything above that is more masterpiece levels. Granted after doing a rewatch I think I might bump it up to a 7.8/10.
if I could recommend a anime series it would be banana fish prime show free of charge but fair warning it's a very adult anime gruesome and hits ya hard watch at your own risk
Go Go Koi-zilla!
Episode 8 disappointed me when they left out aang creating a 200ft tsunami wave. I rather see that than the giant water salamander.
I don't really understand Zhao's logic when he says he's not a Monster. He says he won't kill the oceans cause it would affect everyone. Men, women and children yet killing the Moon AIN'T BETTER.
Sit him down and make him read Life as We Knew It and he’d see how important the moon is for everyone.
@@PelafinaLievre That's the only thing I can think of. He doesn't understand what would happen without the moon.
I don’t like that the women felt content with being healers and then the next episode they just aren’t. Maybe if we saw them watch Katara’s 1v1 or something, but they just randomly show up here.
WHATS A BILLY/BILLIE?????????????? PLEASE SOME ONE EXPLAIN BECAUSE IT LITTERALLY SOUNDS LIKE A COLT WHEN THEY WHISPER IT................................
youre a billy silly
25:12 Technically Aang's been in water most of the time...
HOW DARE THEY HURT MOMO !!!
Crazy that Netflix had more money to do a faithful adaptation to the last scene where Aang turns into a water monster than a movie studio like Paramount did.
What's gonna happen to the 41st crew in the next season? My ideas are they go the route of keeping them as a part of Zuko and Iroh's team or they go back to the Fire Nation, but secretly plant seeds to support Zuko as the rightful heir. It would make a good payoff from Zuko defending them back in the war room.
While it looks crazy good we need to let the hype go and be real. There are tons of wrong things and details, some made on purpose. And the cast... bruh they look exactly like in that one recap episode from the theater.
2:00 damn Ruff. Are Boom and Erick even manga readers? Last time they mentioned it here on the channel Boom was well into Act 3 while Erick was starting of Act 3.
Tbh I found the whole banding of women together was kinda cringe. Not because it's feministic but because it feels so forced.
22:12 "my first girlfriend turned into the moon." "That's rough buddy."
Ohhh Noo!
Fire nation has got to go... Go Go Avatarzilla.
Can we please find the guys in charge for the Kaiju Aang moment and force them to make a new Godzilla movie ?
Damn... that short scene was better than the last Godzilla movies together (MonsterVerse movies, excluding -1).
I agrue bullshit on that with minus one
Maybe actually watch the movies before spouting nonsense, buddy
to be fair animating a 5 min szene and a whole 90 min movie takes a lot time and a shit ton of money.. so.. its like why anime movies are better quality then the 12-24 episodes, always time and money the whle world
@@alexisislas-gonzalez5991 alright, you got me there, should have specified to the Monsterverse Movies.
7/10
the momo scene didn't really get to me because I 100% knew they wouldn't just kill him off like that. it just wouldn't make any narrative sense. one theory I have for the "creative differences"/creators leaving is that they either removed or changed certain relationships, in part due to the age differences of some of the actors. notice how there's been zero aang/katara romance and those specific parts were changed, like the cave of two lovers, or ignored entirely, like the fortune teller. it would be interesting if they went a different route entirely with this adaptation, or leave certain people unpaired/ambiguous ending. depends if they plan to do a korra series I guess, because certain pairings would have to happen for that to work correctly. we'll see.
🙌🙌
First❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
show was ass
the water bender woman SHOULD NOT fight.. they should survive for any case they need breed more water benders
Not all, yes, but if some of the women wanted to fight, they should be able to.
It doesn’t mean EVERY woman would be on the frontlines, some would probably focus more of healing and protecting the children.
But their issue was that NONE of the women were allowed to fight, that’s extra potential numbers in your army if they’re willing and want to do it.
equality for all dude... if woman will fight in the war all woman should like all man have to there is no bullshit rainbow shit going on there@@GuyWithNoNickName
Waterbending can be passed from either parent lmao.
Also, non-bending parents can also produce a bender child. Hakoda and Kya are both non-benders but birthed Katara. Gran Gran isn't even a bender, so it could have come from any of the other three grandparents and skipped a generation.
Can't make more if everyone's dead broski
