Avatar The Last Airbender is one of the best cartoons inspired by anime of all time, so Nickeloden and Netflix decided to team up to try and ruin it for making a live action series.
#avatarthelastairbender #netflix #reaction
Honestly, the thing that frustrated me the most is how much they pacified Katara. She had a temper, she’s overbearing and stubborn. Live-action Katara barely emotes. In the full hour of the first episode, she smiles ONCE!
Yeah, they took her independence away. She feels like the random female sidekick now
Same with Sokka. Doesn’t look like he’ll get a good character arc.
There are changes that I like changes that are…interesting. And then there are changes that I straight up dislike! And yes, Katara has a bad time emoting or sounding natural. She sounds like she’s just reading her lines.
you said exactly what i was trying to figure out about what i thought was off about katara’s character in this. i miss her arguing more with sokka or at least being annoyed with him at some parts.
This might be in ties of *"Portraying the original Sokka in the live-action series might be too sexist."* I'm not joking. Also, the show runner said something about *"hoping to appeal to Game of Thrones fans."*
A flawed female character is sexist and we all need to do better.
Zuko’s scar looks more like a bruise than a burn honestly, I think it needs more texture or something
YES! This! I’ve been saying that and no one cares 😂
Scar looks fine to me but it maybe should be a bit larger
How is it possible for yall to be complaining about a Fking burn I feel like all you people do is criticize everything as much as you can you didn’t like the first movie at all now you’re hating on the show
@@elmaschimba963because it looks nothing like a burn? idk what you're mad about
@@elmaschimba963 For everyone who acts like they’re such a fan of ATLA yall sure will just let anything slide because it’s mildly better than the embarrassment of the original live action performance.
Zuko is WAYYYY too chill like bro used to be on demon time what happened to him 😭😭
Aang compliments him once and he's like "I'm protecting this kid forever now"
Where is Sokka’s boomerang? That was the best character of the original series
it shows up later dw
They would never forget such a pivotal character, the story would fall apart without Sokka's Boomerang.
That’s a bond you can’t break up Sokka and his Boomerang. Their bond is so strong, it transcended life times or at least to a different show “the dragon prince.”
@@bearerofbadnews1375Yeah. Sokka x Boomerang
Yea but it might just be me but it happens on kiyoshi island with the watermelons right it's comes outta nowhere with no explanation@@burgerboss1016
At least the Firebenders don't need a nearby fireplace as their source of power to draw from instead of themselves.
the movie which shall not be named turned all the firebenders into pyro from xmen lol. which was just wrong
Or the earth benders don't need five to six people to _slowly move a small rock._
God that movie was genuinely bad I genuinely wonder what the hell was the director thinking,,, It’s wayyy worse then DB Evolution
@@yaypeace3792 yeah we dont talk about that
Stop comparing this to the movie that shall not be named. 😢😢😢
If they wanted a dark, gritty political thriller in the Avatar world they could have made a live action Kyoshi show
They basically sidelined Roku in S1 for Kyoshi, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are considering adapting her novels.
Or just make a separate Avatar, we dont need a retelling of Aang's story
They made the mistake of thinking that catering to adults meant the story had to be dark, not insightful. Ironically, this approach ends up making the narrative feel lighter emotionally. When you replace the fun-loving, friendly kid with someone more serious and focused, you lose the weight of their genuine struggle to hold onto their optimism when faced with adversity.
They could have just aged up characters a bit, hired better writers and basically add death and gore to the show. Voila, you have a dark gritty show of the Avatar.
classic modern wokenees destroying quality media because they don't want to step on any toes. The truth is they played it overly safe took no risks made unnecessary changes instead of looking at small critiques of the original show like fleshing out Ozai & Iroh more especially their relationship. And removing shi like the Great Divide.
Why do they establish that Aang can fly without his glider like Guru Laghima, and then have him fall like he can't fly anymore?
He wasn't flying like the guru, you can see his hands are pointing downward propelling him
Bro literally goes upward
@@Icantthinkofaname267 Firebenders can propel upward too. Doesn't mean they have the same maneuverability as the Guru or Zaheer.
He wasn't flying, he was propeling himself upwards with bending like the firebenders do. AND the kid just literally took a direct fireball hit. He was probably disoriented and fighting to stay concious.
@@marco_voltage i mean he was screaming and reaching for his staff while falling, i dont think he was that disoriented that he wouldnt think of practically flying
No matter how "good" the adaptation is, it is still a live action adaptation. It will never give me the satisfaction the animated series did
I definitely think that's something most people should realize. There's only so much an adaptation of an original product can do. Personally, I think it's good for what it is. Fuckin leagues ahead of M Night Shyamalan movie too, but I guess that's not a high bar to clear lol
the idea of live adaptations kinda makes me cringe as just a pathetic cashgrab opportunity because they can’t come up with their own money making stories and other peoples creations are the only way to generate hype
I think that's just an excuse for an undercooked fan film with a better budget
@@jrt316I don’t think it’s that bad
Honestly, I think it’s great that a new generation will get to know Avatar with this show and maybe be encouraged to watch the original because of it.
I only started to watch One Piece because of the Netflix series which I also enjoyed.
Yeap, whether it be games or animated shows , live action adaptations will always be vastly inferior to the original works.
My biggest issue is with iroh I absolutely love the actor who played him but the way they wrote him into the story it doesn’t feel like iroh at all.
More like master fu from ladybug and catnoir
Keep in mind that the show runner hopes that this appeals to *"Game of Thrones fans"*
There is nothing compared to GoT in the show so idk why they said that, it's more serious yes, but it doesn't come close to GoT. I think it's more of a kid friendly GoT
Because a series that had multiple seasons
@@magnus5747kid friendly got lol people ate burning to death and we just saw genocide unfold in front of our eyes, that's not for kids. Yes, the rest of the show isn't that dark at all, but considering this was the opening everyone who watches would see this
Ah yes, it follows in the footsteps of desperate housewives trying to appeal to starwars fans
@@autumn3686 Still, compared to GoT it's still very kid friendly.
Zuko's scar looks so small compared to the original show
If they made it bigger then it'll look extremely fake
@@suunt_rp.290
Not really, I've seen people with scars as large as Zukos in real life and in the same place. Hell, the girl that I saw with it was actually kind of pretty. They could have found an actual burn survivor if that was a concern.
This looks like he got jam on his face.
*cough cough* movie scar *cough cough*
@@haydenhowell9277 go drink some water bro
Zuko had a scar?
I hate how Monk Gyatso went out...he died with firebenders at his feet, he went out like a G, in this he just gets rawdogged.
yeah i was expecting him to take out a few firebenders with him but he died so lame
@@dains6623he did he beat up some of the fire benders.

"COMEDY ALSO EXISTS IN LIVE ACTION, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE IT GAME OF THRONEZ"
describes my major problem with most live action features to this day...
Also why the One Piece live action was generally pretty well received.
@@FabbrizioPlays I wonder why that is interesting you probably don’t answer just like I do
hell EVEN GAME OF THRONES HAD PLENTY OF COMEDY like wtf are these studios DOING
But they do have comedy in this show, of course not as much as the original, but this live action still has some funny moments imo
@@FabbrizioPlaysthat's cause the one piece live action had the creator involved in making it.
The live action version feels like an abridged version of the original
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I compared it to Z and Kai of Dragon Ball.
It literally is lol
So... One Piece Live Action???
Thats good tho
WE didnt need every filler from the first Season to happen in thé live action lmao
More like a parody
sokka not being sexist for the first part of the show really is a massive let down
They made a whole big deal about getting rid of it 🙄
@BuilderDragon It really is a "zero media literacy" moment
like having a sexist character isn't pro sexism. It's not something that "didn't age well". It's literally a character flaw that he gets scolded for and has to overcome IN THE ORIGINAL. You took away his one genuine character flaw.
Fr bro sokka's sexism was the reason the world got saved
@@FabbrizioPlays yeah the media was all “lOoK hOw PrOgReSsIvE wE aRe” again without understanding the point.
they bastardized most of the charcters so far. This just didnt need to exist tbh , no one asked for this , a re animated version of the og show (like theyre doing with pre timeskip one piece) wouldve gone alot farther in interest appeal then a mid live action
My problem is that they show the backstory first cause what made episode 12 so great initially was Aangs mystery so him revealing to Katara his past in real time with the flashbacks made it much more believable that he’s burdened by this. With showing the backstory first I’m at a complete disconnect because it’s stuff that shouldn’t impact me already
I think the producers know that 100% of the audience have already seen the original series
flashbacks tend to not be great as a narrative device when the audience already knows what’s going to happen. It was impactful on the original series because we didn’t know, so I understand why they told the story more linearly
I hate that shows no longer trust the audience to be patient and build curiosity. The cartoon intro says the Avatar disappeared, then we get right into Katara and Sokka finding Aang. That's enough to get us started and the details of how Aang got frozen can be filled in later.
@@JoeFanikthat ain't true this is definitely for people who aren't willing to watch the og show because it's a cartoon
Well said and good point
I’m kinda disappointed that they allowed Aang to look like he’s flying in the air effortlessly. This was supposed to be a difficult thing to master. Guru Laghima mastered the weightlessness and gained the ability to actually fly. Zaheer eventually gained that ability after letting go of his earthly desires
Live-action remakes of animated shows/movies are almost always a step down.
The one piece live action is goated
@@rickastleysnevergonnagivey3853it’s worse than the avatar by a million
@@talkingweevil3172THANK YOU
@@rickastleysnevergonnagivey3853I wouldn’t say goated but it is good. However the director wanting to do all the arcs is concerning since it’s so much movement, action, plot, different character sizes won’t match to live action

@@jamesdinkens4577what’re you yapping about then?? 💀
@@Slippyjerry 😂😂😂 I don’t know really tbh
Katara could fade into the background and youll never even notice
nah
I do have one major praise for this show. It is absolutely vibrant and alive in a literally grey era of live action TV. Even the One Piece live action adaption had a sepia filter that diluted the color. Live action shows feel muted and dull lately, and seeing all of these character designs in full saturation was absolutely magical. And speaking of character designs...the costume department understood absolutely the assignment. Zuko's scar was really the only negative standout for me. I have stared at the marvel that is Yue's hair for a good 15 minutes just trying to figure out the physics of her wig. I'm obsessed with the wave pattern on Katara's warm outfit. And the Kyoshi warrior headpieces? Absolutely insane quality. Farnaz Khaki-Sadigh, well done.
Not really because why damn near throughout the whole show everyone's clothes stays perfect
@@kidCashOnline The showrunner tells the costume designer what costumes they need for who and when. A costume plot (outfits broken down by scene with detailed illustrations and fabric samples) is made and is approved by the showrunner before they are made. You absolutely NEED to communicate if you need multiple versions of a costume for different shots, otherwise it will not be noted in the costume plot.
TL/DR; It's an oversight on Albert Kim's end rather than Farnaz's.
Weird that you called out Yue's garbage wig as a good point for the costuming when it is by far the worst costuming choice of the show and a terrible wig. The M. Night Yue hair was world better (the only praise I will give that garbage heap)
@@melrenee5416 The M Night Yue wig didn't even have braids on it, and it was flatter than Stanley. I think the Fei Xian Ji section of the NATLA wig could be thinner, sure, but that's about it. I'm not even mad about the side part in front. I think the volume makes it look fairly regal, as opposed to the hairstyle I'd slap on my drow warlock in DND.
@@serenitysfirefly I don't even mean in terms of accuracy though, it just looked awful. Like it was *distractingly* bad. Of all the wigs, you'd think that one would have been considered the most important to not look cheap as hell but it's the only bad one I remember seeing in the whole show, I was really disappointed by it I wanted their Yue to rock 🥲
I will admit, they got the right actor for Aang and Sokka, there were times they sounded exactly like the OG. And I feel like kid me wouldn't mind the CGI.
I think Zuko has a pretty decent voice too
@@skyhorizon6860 Zuko's actor isn't bad, but make-up/CGI for his scar sucks.
i dont know, the actor who played as aang is expressive but some of his dialogue just doesnt hit at all or there are times it was just awkward
Nah. Didn't needa cast a white guy for sokka
@@rowanrawlz1871 nothing to do with acting but okay.....
live action sokka looks like the sokka from ember island ngl
Omg you’re so right about that 😭😭
I think he’s the most accurate in general
He does! Omg 😂 I like that actually that's funny
Wait till you see Mai and Ty Lee😂
honestly he sounds just like sokka. maybe im crazy but i think he sounds just like him.
It’s insane how ATLA hasn’t had a single good live action adaptation in its two tries, and yet One Piece of all things had one of the best live action adaptations.
yea i have no idea how jack thought this was better than the one piece live action
they JUST had the best live action adaptation.
Personally, I think they're cookin with this one. But that's just me though lol, I liked it
At least this time they got Aang's name right😆.
Crazy

Same

@@Picccles_hates-dblwomp womp fr
@@Picccles_hates-dbl Lack of Milk killed your Grandma.
Sorry, that’s just science.
Lmao same
Why did they throw all this backstory at the audience in the BEGINNING? The original series was smart to start small with just a few kids, then reveal the mysteries behind Aang's people and how he ended up in the iceberg over time. We get interested in the PROTAGONISTS, instead of being handed a bunch of politics that are basically irrelevant to the audience until later.
I guess but like 99% of the people who are watching this have already seen TLAB cartoon and already know, I think it’s irrelevant tbh
Cause it was trying something different maybe? Not everything works but this wasn’t exactly horrible it’s more plot heavy than before
just like Spider-Man Lotus when it tried adapting "Amazing Spider-Man #248", in the comic Spider-Man spent the entire day with a random kid and revealed his identity to the kid at the end and we fans didnt knew why he did that until the last panel showed Spider-Man leaving a house and turns out the house was actually a cancer clinic, thats great writing but then Spider-Man Lotus just gives the entire backstory of the kid and that the kid is ill so he wants to meet Spider-Man which killed all the suspense
@@andrewgomez9758ues but they didn't make the show for old fans they made it for their modern audience and new generation.....
@@arwinv9005 I guess…? I mean there’s still always the OG you can watch. Everybody knows how critically acclaimed the cartoon is. So like I said 99% of people are gonna watch that first or have already seen it. Besides it’s not like they changed the origin, they just remixed it. Again kind of an irrelevant criticism in my opinion. Plus the way they did it in the live action makes more sense for this adaptation. We see Aang is a little more serious given that we are already shown what he’s been through. In the cartoon we see Aang really lean into being a goofy kid at first which works because he is hiding what he’s been through. He never hid the fact that he ran away in the live action adaptation, which serves this version of his character better. Slight changes but nothing crazy,in the live action you can still tell he is a goofy kid at heart, but it seems he’s more shaken by the gravity of everything earlier on
They really just swiped all the characters personality with this one. Nice going Netflix.
Hmmm haven't seen all of it yet but there are much personalities that are done on point. Some examples, Iroh, Zuko, Sokka (minus the sexism), Azula, Jet, Zhao, Aang. Katara is the only one I noticed that something is different.
Not all the characters, Jet and the freedom fighters were really well done.
They didnt tho lmao
@@insanecheapo195 oh good
Who needs the main characters

You Netflix fans are fucking insane I swear
@@maritofuentes4690Hmmm still the main cast was also pretty on point, except Katara imo (at least for 4 episodes).
Also what has this show to do with "Netflix fans", sorry but that is the silliest thing I've heard, people watch this because the are Avatar fans (or just curious), got nothing to do with (whatever it is supposed to mean) Netflix fans
the editing repeat about gassing up Sokka made we think my weed was too strong bruh

Earthbenders in Last Airbender movie: *takes 7 guys to do the group dance to move one rock*
Earthbenders in Netflix's Avatar: *fights like their animated counterparts*
Nah man, they throw mud and stuff. Also they don't use stomps to pull out boulders from the ground, they just do these weird hand movements that don't correspond to the bending. Also it doesn't look like hung gar kung fu, like wtf that was the whole point. I was throughly dissappointed...
Bro when did they ever do that, they literally showed an earth bender in the beginning more then just throwing mud @@tortoisesoup16
nahh they got nerfed badly, the first one we saw was horrible...
@@cookiechaos9198he just randomly flung a bunch of rocks it looked lame compared to the choreography of the show.
Fire benders are literally the definition "let him cook"😂
D-did they really completly replayed the same 20 seconds back to back? (11:33 and everything that comes after)
yeah thats what i was thinking too
Simple editing mistake, it’s happened before
I actually love that and it's hard not to compare to the original. Make it as well something we can almost predict the lines despite 'we've never seen this show'. And that is definitely not the first literal dialogue reference, so be prepared for very small dialogue referenced scenes. Oh and the cabbage man is definitely not removed 😝
lmao i thought i had a stroke or sumn
Yeah though i finally got dementia or somethn
I’ll explain the obvious problem as a big fan of the animated version. Aang learns no water bending at all which pushes his character down, Sokka isn’t the warrior he dreams to be and instead wants to focus on being a “mechanist”, Bumi didn’t share any good wisdom with Aang and they made him seem ridiculous even though he’s supposed to be this incredible earth bender. Katara had her lime light and a lot of focus but the show is ATLA not Katara the Water Bender. Badger mole didn’t teach Aang any earth bending and Aang’s innocent crush on Katara isn’t reflected at all. Basically all these themes and character motivations were wiped away. Also, Ozai likes Zuko more than Azula.. he literally burned his face and Azula is Ozai’s favorite. That drives Zuko and shows his father’s ruthlessness. I think the show tries to make the show “modern” this way, by saying look how the first born son gets special treatment, not letting Sokka fill in his role as a leader, and not exemplifying Aang’s water bending skills to not up stage Katara. If this how shows are these days, it’s fine, but I’ll stick to the originals which knew how to make a balance between characters and gave them their proper arcs.
That part repeating made me think I’m tripping
I don’t know if the editor intended this but the edit at 1:51 is really funny to me because there’s a popular fanfic on ao3 where Zuko’s dad is like a five star chef and Zuko wasn’t good enough so he got banished to work at McDonalds
WHAT WHERE LMAO I NEED THE NAME
It'd be amazing to see some of the voice actors of Avatar Last Airbender animated show make a cameo in live action.
The Cabbage Merchant plays The Cabbage Merchant, so there's that.
You know what we're watching? We're watching The Ember Island Players' rendition of ATLA 😂
idk if its a compliment or an insult to this show to say "well its at least better than the OTHER live action"
At least the bending looks ok (i'll never forgive the movie nerfing firebenders needing a source of fire like wtf) and the costuming is good
Mid in its purest form
Agreed
the bending looks cheap to me…where’s the martial arts
@@sorackee you can definitely see the martial arts with Zuko and aangs choreography, and in the background, while I agree there are some punch-y bending imo it still feels organic
No, its not better
I saw someone say that this show was written by the kind of people to say "filler episodes suck so much give me plot ☝️🤓" and i totally agree, their whole adventure was mostly fun and stumbling into plot only looking for it time to time but now everything is we gotta hurry guys the plot hasnt happened in 30 seconds. Doesnt surprise me the people from the original ended up leaving lol. But hey, this is gonna be be a fun hate watch haha 😁
I'm willing to watch these commentaries rather than watch the live action show. Having the cartoon also on netflix also helps.
It’s their opinion which they’re clearly comparing it to the entire series of the anime
Thank God, I thought all of society was gaslighting me by saying the cgi looked good
Also, there were no girls at the southern air temple. Wtf lmao. That’s literally a plot point
bro same. idk why people think it looks so good. it’s bad
How is the CGI bad? It looks amazing
@@Jacob_267 it's definitly not bad. At worst it is just okay.
Yeah but it's not bad imo
Ironically by removing the Sexism for Katara to fight they made her look weaker...
Removing the Sexism from Sokka just made him seem like Season 2 Sokka Immediately.
Netflix Failed their mission of making it less offensive, all they did was make the Characters shallow.
The word “Netflix” just didn’t trigger in my brain, so I was 6 minutes in before I realized that this wasn’t the M.Night Shyamalan version.
11:35 and 12:40 are practically the same part but edited differently. Average Spilling the Milk W.
Wonder how long before we get the re upload with the fix.
I thought I was crazy cause the same thing happened twice
They just needed to burn Sokka twice. One time is not enough.
I thought I was going insane thank you
Thought I was losing it😭
"The YAPATAR"😂 2:42
I just don’t get how they can’t get this right. I’m not even involved in film production or big on tv/movies, but I know how it works essentially.
For example, the scene where aang swoops in to fight Zuko to keep sokka from getting burned.
All he has to do is fly in and fight them, they blast some fire hitting people/houses around him, he stops and says “wait, I’m the one you’re looking for. If I go with you, will you agree to leave the village?” Then leave and say “I’ll be fine” or “thanks sokka, nobody’s every fought for me”
Instead he comes in LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!! You’re the bravest man I’ve ever seen.
I get that he’s what like 11 and a goon but also bruh he’s a monk, he’s at least somewhat stoic and logical.
The amount of cringe lines they ADDED and I’ve only watched half the episodes. Bro the dialogue was ALREADY DONE FOR YOU. If you shoot it and it’s awkward, just change the lines…. Or take the nuclear option and use AI in post to fix them. I don’t understand how the writers got away with this, and nobody from the cast to the set to producers, directors, etc… ever said yeah, this line sucks let’s just grab one from the original.
How do people keep ruining this IP like they had the budget, some nice CGI, but then the flying looks so weird and the acting just needed a few more takes and the writers needed to be fired.
It IS fair to judge the writing because it’s not an unfair comparison to the original. Even if the original didn’t exist the writing is just cringe and so awkward. AND THEY HAD THE ORIGINAL GIVEN TO THEM. It’s like with m night, HOW DO YOU MISPRONOUNCE THE CHARACTERS, ITS FROM A SHOW.
I think someone with a large stake in the avatar IP has a humiliation fetish. It’s such a waste watching every game and movie and show just fail to do what the original did effortlessly.
finally someone who gets it. bless u
damn you guys work fast didnt the show start airing literally today
lol they did this for the Scott pilgrim anime too
The show aired 2 days ago
They completely ruined Bumis character. How did Sokka and Katara get Appa to fly without saying Yip yip. Why was Katara able to waterbend 400metres in the sky on Appa to stop a fireblast but not able to waterbend a tiny bubble. Why can Aang fly. Why is Katara laughing in the serious scenes. How did Katara learn to Icebend after barely being a waterbender. I'm not even going to finish it past Episode 4. What a joke of a show.

At least Aung was kinda funny from an ironic standpoint
9:28 For me, _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ (the good one) is the reverse of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas, where instead of being primarily a comedy with a healthy dose of drama, it's primarily a drama with a healthy dose of comedy.
I've said it once and I'll say it again . Avatar The Last Airbender is MEANT FOR ANIMATION! Call me a purist but even the "look" of the show and the bending completely throws me off. Animation as an art form allowed the fantastical element of the show to look natural ,real and unlimited.
For me at least - a big part of why I loved Avatar was not just how amazing the story was- but how BEAUTIFUL the bending looked. This show looks kitschy, weird, and off. I appreciate the creators/artists who've taken the time to make this Netflix series - but it's a BIG no from me - I'll watch the originals series for the 100th time, thanks.
Zuko’s scar, Sokka’s boomerang, Aang’s staff, and the Southern watertribe village are all the biggest nitpicks I have and I don’t think I’ve watched more than one and a half episodes. My brother and I ended up just binging Arcane and now I want to watch ATLA cartoon.
12:38 i let out the biggest "Oh no!" Out loud that wouldve made Joseph Joestar proud 😂
😂
Remember boys this ain’t the one piece live action
Katara, Aang, and Sokka have the personality of a brick wall. I was disappointed they made the show so serious when it should be silly and fun and the characters dynamic. The characters lost their rizz...😭😭
Yeah but remember it's trying to be it's own thing, else we should just watch the cartoon. Imo 1 on 1 visual adaptations are a waste of time, effort and money.
And tbh I think Sokka still gives enough comic relief, yes the sexism is gone, but that is a choice they made and we just have to wait what else they have in store for him.
@@magnus5747 I agree that 1:1 adaptations are a waste of time and money when it's the same general medium (visual, text etc) however using that as an excuse on the poor character writing (especially for Katara) isn't quite it.
@@magnus5747 sexism wasn’t gone. It was made subtle and realistic. I made this point in multiple platforms and I am happy to give an explanation here if you would like. I don’t blame the fans for thinking this tho, i blame media news outlets and youtubers who make ragebait content talking about that whole thing about sokka and making it a big deal or thinking his character arc is now deleted when that’s not what happened
When the clips from earlier starting playing at 12:25, it through me the hell off, its 3AM rn so I thought I was just losing my mind
I think this captures 70-80% of the original but it also adds 20% of what he haven't seen in the original.
I literally said the same thing at the same time as Kor 😭 8:17
Katara was done the dirtiest.
@10:33 rare Eden moment where he actually have a valid point and Kor and Jack agrees with him!
not valid
I love how they had to save aang while falling but we've seen aang flying multiple times already lol
I liked the show, it was different but had a certain charm.
Netflix: *Removes scene where aang tries to get appa to fly and sokka makes fun of him.*
*somehow sokka and katara are able to make appa fly to save Aang without learning YIPP YIPP!**
Me while watching: *AGGHGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH*
7:07 $15 million dollars an episode, and you get this dude.
Wait, so did they retcon the reason Aang fled? Now, instead of it being a personal failing, he was forced to leave by an attack from the fire nation?
Correct. Cant have flawed characters because that usualy requires competent writers to fix those flaws. Hollywood cant do that anymore so they just remove any negative flaws
Gyatso told Aang he is the avatar and that he would need to manage great responsibility from that point. At night instead of explicitly running away he just says that he needs to go somewhere where things make more sense, implying that instead of running away it was more on the level of just going on a night walk and that he would come back. Then he happens to get caught up in a storm like the original. So, he wasn't forced to leave but it wasn't a personal failing. Just turned into bad timing.
No, he fled because he was scared if the responsibility of being the avatar
@@shadowstar1286 That kind of takes the wind out of a big part of book one, lol.
@@DomR1997 yes it's a subtle difference, as you can see you have another reply that said he fled because he was scared. but in my opinion it wasn't as clear and pushed as it could be. because in the cartoon aang was freakin scared of being taken away and you know for sure he was running away without intent to return. in the live action it just sounds like he wants some alone time and that's it. live action sokka says that the avatar disappeared when the world needed him to make aang feel bad but this doesn't hit the audience because live action aang didn't shirk duty he just wanted to fly a little bit
At least it doesn’t take half a dozen earthbenders to lift a tiny rock.
Yall when he said leave me alone at 12:13 thas in there TWICE😂
Atleast the 2010 movie had the decency to only be 2hours long...
This show is so much better
THE SHOW IS 1000 TIMES BETTER
@talkingweevil3172 what show
bro i thought the mik was not going to be spilled today
i’ll do one like for each push-up this comment gets
Gimme.
wait- what-
push-up
I can't do push-ups so you get a halfie from me
Push-up
*I'm calling it right here: this show is going to be bad.*
Just imagining you putting * Before and after every word is crazy 💀
@@Zarek-fl5io I only put * at the beginning and end of the sentence, amd it highlighted the entire sentence.
It isn't. I'd give it a solid 7.5. It changed a lot from the animated one but still was enjoyable enough and kept the core story the same
@@Zarek-fl5io you could have at least looked up how the bold words work before typing the comment
I watch it and it bad
anyone else notice the deja vu a quarter of the way thru
You're not Diesel Patches.
@@Pokeyrunner yo i just googled that wtf is this 😭 😭
@@leothepickle Diesel Patches (if that what you're referring to) is a popular TH-camr.
As someone who was watched the whole show it was way better than I expected. The show keeps faithful to the original were necessary while also adding great new elements to it that the original series didn't have. I think it's important to remember this is not meant to be a complete replica of the original just an adaptation. There are genuinely things I like better about this series than the original and some things I like in the original but overall I enjoyed the it. I really enjoyed that the tone feels like if the original series didn't have to be made for kids on nickelodeon.
8:50 The Dashie clip had me dying, wondering what people seeing it out of context are thinking
so glad we could watch you guys roast aang and sokka twice
Live action creators didn't want to copy paste the animated series as it is and few of the plot changes made by them are pretty good and welcoming as well. I did enjoy watching many of the changes (like Azula and Sozin's intro) as they offered different and fresh perspectives.
But it has its own demerits as well:
1) Characterisation is something that was extra ordinary in the OG series (Aang was goofy yet wise and brave but here he is shown to be always frightened and somewhat coward, Katara was passionate, strong willed but here she almost carried the same expression throughout and why on Earth did they tone down Sokka's sarcasm. He was such a lively guy.) Honestly actors playing main characters seriously needs to improve especially Aang and Katara. (PS: Maria Zhang’s acting stood out for me as she portrayed her interest in Sokka quite perfectly. Actors playing Zuko, Iroh and Ozai acted brilliantly as well.)
2) And why is the casting overloaded with Chinese origin actors? The main theme of the original series was peace and harmony between extremely diverse nations. Probably this is why the original creators left this project sighting creative differences.
3) The OG creators had excluded visual references of the genocide against air nomads for a purpose as it was meant to be a kids show. But in netflix without such restrictions they could have explored it much deeper and it would have been fresh for us as well. I was expecting to see more of Aang's past and the wiping out of air nomads. The genocide portion could have been longer considering the effort they had put to show it visually. At least 1 episode dedicated for it would have given ample time for the buildup. However it lasted only for 25 odd minutes so it felt rushed to me.
4) There is no suspense at all in the writing. Everything was just direct and linear.
5) This has very less humour than the animated one.
Comparison with original is inevitable as the bar is set so high that it's very difficult to match those standards. So considering the above mentioned issues, the OG stands miles ahead than this live action at least for me and I wouldn't agree with anyone calling this as better than the original itself..
Oof! Yeah: Aang, Katara, and Zuko look rough. Sokka's the only one they managed to get right for me.
14:05 Bro, it actually WAS the wind!
fun drinking game: take a shot every time you hear the intro (no longer) iconic line randomly. with no tension. just to drop the line. hey guys look it’s the line
It was fine. Ya'll expect way too much. Most things will never be as good as the original, so let it be its own thing
But it’s not its own thing though.
@@OakTreeIsaac they are doing some things differently like blending episodes together. Which has been criticised by many people
@@FieldPlug No I know that. It’s just, if really wanted to be its own thing they should stop relying on the fact that the old fans already get the context of the scenes they seen before.
Like what I mean is that this series has an over reliance on breaking the rule of show don’t tell.
To new fans who are being introduced through this probably won’t feel much because they keep having the characters state how they feel instead of showing it through their actions.
Old fans can just fill in the blanks in their heads because they seen the original series, they know how things play out, so they need to be told the same thing again.
But this show is supposed to appeal to newcomers, and instead of finding new ways to show the characters dynamics, they blaze past some of it, expecting you already knew how they feel and how they act from the original.
It’s not bad like you said. But I hesitate to say this can stand on its own legs without the original series in our minds.
@@FieldPlug
The writing is ass😂
11:24 then repeats at 12:29 I’m guessing the editor didn’t care and went with both edits lmfao😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
i was gonna say i thought it was a recap for the next episode or smth
no it doesnt? can you point it out better?
@@Fangria it literally repeats footage but the time stamps are wrong
@@LinnyUwU ok then can i get the right timestamps because i cant find the reused foorage anywhere even close to those timestamps
@@Fangria bro watch from both points, there’s two differ edits of the and telling Sokka he’s brave and then then saying ang has got big ear
They ruined the air temple genocide. The fire nation specifically attacked on the summer solstice for the Sozin's comet power boost. Without that, the air benders look weak and helpless.
What are you talking about? They literally did attack on the day of the comet. It’s the first fucking thing you see in the show.
sozin literally said that on another day they might've been able to fend the fire nation off, but not today
How the living fuck did Netflix EVER think it was a good or cost-effective idea to adapt a show that's as centered around what are essentially magical/superpowers as ATLA into live action?
Moneeehhhh
Well, I guess it's better than M Nights so.... yay? Also I can't be the only one wondering why Sokka's actor was wearing so much makeup. Looks like he caught a stray from Homer Simpsons makeup gun.
11:46 It's because in the original fans wouldn’t stop whinnig about "how Sokka is terribly underrated and how the other characters treat him bad".
Same for Katara being "watered down" here is because fans over the past 19 years wouldn’t stop complaining about her and her attitude...
THE SHOW CAME OUT TODAY HIW ARE YOU GUYS ALREADY MAKING A VIDEO??
One thing people should keep in mind is this is technically a new show with new writers they need to find their footing, but i will say if they wanted to make a gritty live action ancient times show with mystical elements they shouldve made a new property as thats not what avatar is
I held out hope for this…I REALLY did. Nice job to go mess it up as usual Netflix. Fuck…
Did you even watch it? It’s really good if you just let it be it’s own show
bros yappin, the shoes amazing
@@talkingweevil3172except its not its own show. This is a direct rip of the cartoon with much less character. This feels like a netflix remake.
@@zachrohler1047 it’s not a rip off. It is a retelling I’m a different way.
@@talkingweevil3172 then domt call it "the last airbender" in direct comparison to the original show. Call it airbender, or the avatar book 1, fuckin the not blue avatar. Otherwise it is a direct rip
What really frustrates me about Zuko’s scar is that it’s barely even there. Not only does it just look like a bruise, it’s so small. In the animated show, Zuko’s scar covered almost his entire face. Was the budget not enough to make it bigger? Makes no sense.
Sokka was not in charge bc "he's the oldest" Hakoda (his dad) was, and is, chief of their tribe and when he left for war with all the other men he appointed his son as chief until he came back. And for all of you to be like "ThAtS a GoOd PoInT" is honestly really frustrating bc you claim to be big fans but its like ur not paying attention
It’s because none of these three have their own opinions and would just gas each other up even if their points make zero sense
Katara seems non existent in this live action and they toned down Sokka's humor
Live action Avatar just feels like that one boring family reunion
Honestly I don’t want to watch the live action at all but I’m stoked and definitely want to see them react to it all
Yes! Aang is now smiling in the new live action Avatar The Last Airbender series however unlike 2010 Aang, he never smile or joke in this movie which came out in 2010. I hope you Avatar The Last Airbender netflix series is good. 👍💯😄❤
OMG DID YOU SEE THEY REPLAYED PART OF THEIR REACTION?! SPILINLG THE MILK FELL OFF
