Kyoshi is such a hardass badass bitch and that's why I love her! The moment she appeared, it was like, "Hello I'm Kyoshi and this is my episode now. Any complaints can be forwarded to the pile of corpses that were my enemies."
A little detail I liked was that Gran-Gran's note was written in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people. I live in Labrador, which has a large Inuit population, and we see it here all over the place. It's a small detail, but I thought it was a nice touch.
I think the live action is pretty good, and I'm glad you're enjoying it too. It's been getting far too much hate. Also, they got Kyoshi just right here. I love how much she towers over everyone, and the fight was so badass and honestly kind of terrifying. Plus, I love the chemistry between Sokka and Suki.
Imagine me asking you your favorite dish. And then ask if you want it. You say yes. So I make it... but it's slightly off. Off in taste, ingredients, mouth feel, it's just off. Not saying it's bad, but it _is_ off. Hope that puts it in perspective. People are going to want the better dish.
@@cctomcat321 A food dish can be the same type of dish but made in a different way. Both are good, but people have a preference to one or the other. That is what this is, it's not about which one is of lesser quality than the other. Your analogy does not work here. *You* can prefer the older one and I am sure many do, but that does not lessen the well made product of the different version.
@erickchristensen746 I didn't say it wasn't well-made, although mostly subjective, I just said it was like a dish. If it's a "spin on a dish," then sure. I think it's funny that people have to pick apart any little nonsensical thing instead of just, idk, engaging. "What do you mean? What'd you think? What'd you like? What didn't you like?" But instead it's some ridiculous semantics war as if I don't know what I'm saying. The analogy doesn't have to be perfect. The "dish" is Avatar. The ingredients are there. Some different. The prep is different. And it comes through in the final product. Which is all fine. Some people love eating Kraft cheese sandwiches. You don't need to get lost in the sauce in some weird defense of something anyone is allowed to like or dislike for any reason.
Fun Fact: The actor of Commander Zhao originally thought he was auditioning for the James Cameron's Avatar Films and didnt know what Avatar the Last airbender was. He thought he was gonna be a Blue person XD
I love how the put Kyoshi here. I really like what she said to Aang about being a Warriors. Because at first she was kind, shy , even silly with her eaethbending, but after she find out about being the avatar and everything else she became merciless and ruthless. She didn't want to be the avatar but she had to. Kyoshi Is my fave.
Not just that, but it makes sense they made Aang to meet her first. Her "tough love" towards Aang allowed him to start to accept his power and role as the Avatar. Roku wouldn't be able to do the same, since it was his own restrain and compassion for his old best friend that prevented him from stopping the war before it could even begin. I bet that, if Kyoshi was in Roku's place, she would have stopped Sozin as soon he started to become a threat, for whatever means necessary.
Well, if you read kyoshi novel, you'll see that kyoshi did something that roku failed to, even though she didnt actually want to do It which actually heartbreaking
What amazed me the most with Kyoshi is how they perfectly embodied her. Did you notice how tall she was compared to Aang? And that is a real thing, since Kyoshi was actually a very tall woman, which only complemented her already very intimidating look. And the acting... Amazing! They were able to really show how fiersome and badass she really is. But I am happy they made Aang to meet her before Roku. The thing is this version of Aang is even more insecure about becoming the Avatar, since he is afraid of his own power. Kyoshi was an Avatar that totally embraced that power and was not above to do what needed to be done to preserve the peace and her "tough love" attitude towards Aang is exactly what he needed to start to accept his role as the Avatar. Roku wouldn't be able to do that, since, much like Aang, he also feared to lose control of his powers. After all, it was his own restrain (along his compassion for Sozin) that stopped him from preventing the war before it could even start.
I like how this live adaptation is different enough that sets it apart from the original series and not a complete carbon copy. It’s different, but still keeps things interesting.
It tells the same story, just differently. It's not bad. Even quite good. It still just feels...pointless. Its only purpose is to cater to people too stupid to try and enjoy animation, and they don't deserve nice things. The nice thing already exists.
@@bbillykI watched both and this was good. You demeaning people who didn’t watch the animation is just uncalled for, some people don’t have access to this show. In some countries they’re only available in cable, not to mention the episodes air in time slots that just doesnt fit in their schedule. If this was on local tv the dub is horrendous. The first time i watched Avatar was because of the horrendous dub the second time i watch, i had to search it up on pirated sites because that’s the only way i can watch it. I also collected comics of this because they were on sale in my local bookstore. Unlike me however some people don’t have access to the show, when the animation released it wasn’t the same world we have now. Stop being ignorant. this live action brings the same energy with one piece live action. They gave off the same energy but how the story progresses is bended.
@@amateurbarnaby I'm only demeaning those clowns who won't watch cartoons on some sort of principle, not if they legitimately can't watch it for some reason. I also support the show as a love letter. It's very clear that everybody involved is super into it.
So I was originally iffy about them removing Sokka’s sexism when I first heard about it, but after this and subsequent episodes I feel like they replaced it with something much better for Sokka’s character arc. It still primarily focuses on him becoming a man and here you see it, he is insecure and has a lot of responsibilities which he is very unsure of. Replacing an episode of him overcoming sexism (which is not very realistic, you can’t just suddenly respect women overnight if you spent your whole life placing them in a basket separate from you) with him learning to combat imposter syndrome is arguably an improvement for him as a character, where one is a story about prejudice bred out of ignorance, his new storyline is about coming to terms with what his capabilities are and how to best channel them. That, in the long run especially with the roles he assumes in Book 3, make so much more sense.
I was in the same boat, I do think it still over coming the sexism did make sense for sokka in the original but I think this does get the benefits of hindsight where we start to see. He's starting his journey overcoming imposter syndrome much earlier. As an aside I think Sokka's flip on sexism did actually make sense for him, he grew up in a war ravaged village that had been sent back to bare bones survival. All the bad ass bending women were already gone and they were back to hunter gatherer mode, so sokka grew up around women only doing the stereotypical women of the age. But Sokka has an analytical mind and shortly after being beaten he realizes what he thought he might be wrong about women and goes to test his hypothesis where he gets summarily whooped and realizes this view on women was flatly wrong and he gives up that old world veiw for a new one. You're write lots of people might dig in their heals in that situation but it's a credit to his character that he did accept reality. Another notable time we see this happen is at the fire nation footloose party where he starts to realize thanks to and the fire nation isn't just full of evil people
I wrestled with a woman and let me tell you... there is nothing funnier watching or more humbling to the misogynistic dudes to get rolled on the mat by "a girl." Especially when you're an idiot kid who can have their entire worldview broken by anything. But to say it can't happen? I've personally watched it match after match.
Commander Zhao needs to be appreciated more! As someone who loved to hate him in the animated series, I feel the same here and his actor deserves a lot of praise for it. One of my favorite performances in the series.
An interesting thing about the water bending scroll, there are two very important people that Kanna (Gran Gran) could've gotten it from. Hama, her best friend, or Pakku, her ex.
That scroll contained the Southern waterbending style that was unique to the Southern Tribe. I doubt that Pakku would have had it, since he is from the Northern tribe. And Hama was captured when she was defending the tribe from the firebenders. It makes more sense that the scroll was kept safe within the village and guarded by the elders, like Gran Gran, since it was part of their culture.
As a fan of the original animated series as it was coming out, this whole series does it absolute justice! Happy to see you guys enjoying it as well. 🎉
I don't know where you're looking but there's plenty of love being shown for this show. Not only that but it has a positive score on Rotten Tomatoes for the audience
I wanted Kyoshi to give the full breakdown of the Avatar State, too, but on reflection I realized that she'd be far more interested in the power boost than the drawbacks.
since she technically possessed Aang so kyoshi can't do much because she still under the influenced of Aang's body and since we know that she is known by her bending prowess so she probably holding back.we don't want the entire village being destroy if she go crazy over the avatar state.
See... that's more what I wish they'd do. Quit rehashing the same story but more mid and just... give us a live-action Kyoshi. Or any of the Avatars before Aang. Just give us a land back stoner comedy with Surfing Dude Avatar that turns dark and has Ko get his wife. There is so much and we just keep going to the exact same well.
@@sortastupidsorry y’all are getting hate for just enjoying something 💀 i’d rather people enjoy themselves over hating something. Btw i love watching all your reactions they make my day ❤
I would slightly argue that the show does it slightly better than the animation Katara getting the scroll from her grandma to learn Water Bending makes more sense to me given that realistically they wouldn't have allowed Katara to practice out of fear of the Fire Nation.
This is actually one of my favorite episodes from the first season! I won’t spoil, but the series is enjoyable and does have some good surprises later on!
Uh oh guys. They put AMAZING in the title. Quickly, let's bully & ridicule them for enjoying something 😂 For real though, glad to see y'all enjoying it.
Hahahaha 😂 for real though I do love this show and love that these guys are enjoying it too. But I I've seen some Strong TH-cam titles that I read and I'm like "Oh f*ck.. the more hardcore anime fans are gonna come for them.." 😅
I like the show, i like how they also like the show But if you saw their other video, the title also said that this live action is better than the source material That’s what getting on people nerves
@@AtarashifatanYeah but that my friend is what we call clickbait. Even if they genuinely did mean it though, there's nothing really to be upset about in the end. I've actually seen people that did like The Last Airbender Movie (granted they could've been trolling as I did see one who was saying the overall look of the characters were better than this) which doesn't really ruffle my feathers personally.
You guys are one of my favorite react channels. I'm so happy about the positive vibes you guys bring, and i love you all for giving this show a real chance. You guys are awesome!
First thing first, i love this adaptation, the only thing i kinda feel iffy, is the fact aang talk to kyoshi first, since in the show and the novels, they could only talk to all the past life after they talk to their previous life, like korra's is aang, aang's is roku, and its actually really heavely pushed in kyoshi novels, since kyoshi didnt want to talk to kuruk, to the point it takes so long for her to talk to yangchen. Anyway, i love that they include elements from korra and the novels into this, like kyoshi's backstory
Can’t wait to see the reaction I am really enjoying the series before I watch episode one people comments in other videos made nervous about the series but after watching episode 1 I will not let people who dislike it control my enjoyment of course it can never beat the original but I look at it as it own version.
9:15 Also consider, Tenzin is the baby of the family. Bumi is the oldest and a muggle, Kya's waterbender. Aang must've been desperate when Tenzin came along.
Just want to say there’s a line in a later episode *not a spoiler* that one of the group says that mentions how they encountered pirates and giant koi fish so presumably there’s time passing between episodes as well and they experienced some episodes of the cartoon off screen
As someone that's never seen the animated series, Kyoshi coming in to wreck the fire benders was SO. F*CKING. AWESOME. And I can tell from comments that the flirting with the kyoshi warrior girl (sorry, can't recall her name) and Sokka was different here, but it was understandable and hilarious to me in this context. Fun ep!
Love your reactions) and loving the show so far) But damn, there so much hate for it... I just don't get it 🤷 all the TH-camrs I watched, who likes the original series are enjoying the show as much as I do, but there are more videos coming out every day with titles like"New avatar adaptation is horrible!". I just don't get it, these fanboys mast be mad or something 🤷
I just realized another reason why Gram-Gram would have the Waterbending Scroll. SPOILERS: Remember who she was engaged to? MASTER PAKKU aka. The Waterbending Master who helps teach Aang and Katara! What better way to tie that plot point in than having their falling out be over that stigma of training women, and would explain why Pakku might be more tolerant and toned-down here than he was in the animated show.
@@mikelach7550 The story was rushed and badly paced, Yusuke wasn't portrayed all that well, genkai got shafted and probably more. I never got to finish it either, I stopped after 3-4 episodes I think. I did like the action and the comedy that was done quite well
I loved the series. But spoilers One a the few things I have some problem with is that Aang didn't learn any waterbending. He should have been learning waterbending with Katarra. If they would have kept that from the series then it would have been better. Like book 2 is all about earth so are they going to squeeze waterbending in there too. I feel like it's going to be a little busy next season unless they aren't going to follow the book progression. They are already going to have to make the time extend more because Gorden is already much older looking than he was in book 1 and his voice is much deeper also.
@@sortastupid🧏♂️I respect y'all's judgement and I will keep watching. I just stopped after ep 5 yesterday cuz they were throwing everything including the kitchen sink in each episode from 3-5 . 🤷♂️ Maybe my brain was just on overload on what they were trying to convey/get a cross in such a short season.
The funniest thing is reading the trash ass pple in the comments who are angry cuz you guys like the live adaptation so much😂😂😂😂...anyway great video as always
I will say, I was a bit hard on this episode specifically, but after watching the others and your reactions, I am a bit more lenient. Acting on point, set design top tier, sound and music, as well as costumes are so fucking good!! However...the original will always be superior, just because I believe the animation still stands the test of time, as well as the funny moments lend to the emotional moments having more weight, cuz while they're still kids on adventure, they know when they need to get serious and the cartoon leaned into that heavily
@@DeltaGreen03yeah that plus some of the changes made didn't make me like it. Felt like too much exposition and talking, I keep debating if I wanna watch cause it feels so different. But honestly despite others just not liking or hating something, even if it's something I myself don't enjoy, it's pretty awesome and fun to watch them love it. It's kinda helping me feel less annoyed at it tbh so there's that.
@@AL7249 Right? Sometimes these reactions give me new perspectives or make me realize I'm either being too critical, or not critical enough. Live Action does feel more "PLOT, NOW!!! FUN TIMES NEVER!!!" which is a bit of a detriment to it overall, but it's still good for what they're going for
Thanks for genuine reactions guys. But, I don't understand the Avatar hate trend, I get that it is not 1:1 but the emotions are there, just like one piece live action there are so many changes but it didnt affect the storyline at all. I hoped this series gets a season 2. Some content creators joining the avatar hate for clout realshit. note: if you watched the live action and nitpick every freaking detail, then go watch the original series. Book 1 is not that great either it is just character introductions.
Well, I gotta say that if there is one thing I learned watching the reaction videos of this show is: Avatar fans are insuferrable, i never saw a group of people so focused on hating, not even the Star Wars fans are like this.
I really dont like the many changes they did , i know they want to make it different but it still sucks seeing a bunch of things from the cartoon removed , especially the soka thing
I’m not that fond of how Kyoshi was portrayed in this. People can say that Kyoshi was super aggressive or violent in the series but if you pay attention to her talking she rarely even raised her voice in the original where as here she’s outright yelling at Aang about every shortcoming he’s had. I liked pretty much everything else (except maybe the lore change that Aang needs to go to a specific Avatar’s shrine to talk to them and not they’re all inside him when he needs them) but I didn’t really like Kyoshi.
Yes! Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. I vibed with the other changes they made - and that fight scene was DOPE - a much more poignant Kyoshi possession scene than what we got in the cartoon. But the portrayal/characterization when we meet her is nothing like her personality in ATLA. She was always so incredibly calm in the cartoon - even when facing an enemy, she was always so steady. And as you said, never even raised her voice. This series made her so antagonistic - and I don't vibe with that. She came off as more of a warmonger in this than an isolationist.
My only complaint is that Aang is supposed to go through the cycle of avatars to get to past ones, so he should have to talk to Roku before he can Kyoshi. But maybe that’s explained because of being at her shrine, and I love Kyoshi so not a huge loss to me

This series has so far been incredible and regardless of what some people might say, I’m so glad the avatar universe finally got a good live action adaptation❤️
And now we're at first of 2 choices in this show that I didn't like.... Kyoshi's portrayal/characterization. Kyoshi was a strong and imposing character in the cartoon but she was also *calm and steady.* In this series however she comes off as antagonistic and volatile - even slightly erratic. I enjoyed the other choices they made here - like actually getting to talk to her this early on and I don't hate that Kyoshi was the one revealing information about the Avatar State instead of Roku. I liked that she got to take over so she could fight and save her people -- it was a much more poignant possession than what we saw in the cartoon. And I LOVED that fight scene!! OMG, I rewatched that scene like 3 times because it was so dope! But the moments leading up to it, when we meet her and she's just nothing like her personality in the cartoon.. I did not like it. She comes off as a warmonger or a conqueror instead of the isolationist she was. This is one reason why I would give the show a 8 or 9 out of 10 instead of a perfect 10.
i loved you guys reactions to this season..istg i need another 2 from this show cause i can only imagine what they can do with more of a budget. i love the changes, its its own universe to me. people who did nt like it usually want it to be a 1:1 adaptation. i love how they made changes it actually made things make sense. some things were a lil...off like KOH but that to me was fan service and to speed up a few things so it gets a pass. i cant wait to see toph, the boulder sparky sparky boom man AND i wanna see katara blood bend a mf...also, the show gave me an idea for an avatar video game, one set after korra.
the second episode was definitely better than the first!! The chemistry between Suki and Sokka was great, the visuals on Kyoshi and her fighting choreography were badass same for the choreography of the Kyoshi warriors and Iroh brings the desperately needed light- heartedness and wholesomeness that had been missing so far. But the change that Aang is only able to contact his past lives when being at their shrines is mad stupid considering how many Avatars came before him the past 10.000 years and that most of them definitely don't have shrines anymore so .. yeah no connection to the majority of his past lives then I guess😅. That really is one bit of bad writing and example for a bad change they made
I just want to point out that the original show is an anime. It doesn’t matter if it’s Japanese or not because anime just means animation. That’s like the difference between calling someone a pro and a professional. All cartoons are technically anime whether you like it or not, the distinction is completely made up.
Could you imagine getting your ass kicked by kyoshi? I feel like yes, please. It is right?? Yes? no? I don't know. Yeah, I think that would be okay with me. Lol. Be like the honor is mine my lady!😊
Okay so Kyoshi: Appears, Blasts Zuko, Says nothing, Flys away, Makes a Shockwave, Bends ALL FOUR ELEMENTS INTO ONE, STILL SAYS NOTHING and changes bodies back with Aang POP OFF KYOSHI POP OOOFFFFF
@0:40 mayo is the spirit condiment is the whitest thing i've ever heard anyone say LOL also adaptation is the highest form of flattery in hollywood so i'm grateful netflix and the showrunners were able to bring this story to a wider audience. people who can't appreciate animation will finally get a chance to experience this amazing world and who knows maybe they'll finally give cartoons a chance. it IS blasphemous tho to say this series is better than the animated series, cus the OG cartoon won a peabody award xD
i dont get why people complaine that they remove sokka's ''overcoming the sexism arc''. it would most definitely not fly in today's media. especially if they would do it source accurate. this'll rough some geathers, but that was one of the most unsubtle and shoehorned agendas the original has ever had. people would bash it as a ''woke garbage'' so im glad sokka and suki's dynamic was less about ''she inspires sokka to stop being sexist'' and more about ''he inspires suki to go, see outside world''. because suki leave her village and now she has better background to do that.
Speaking of Aang as a father and all that... One thing I will never understand is why Aang did not _create_ more airbenders whom he could have guided into become a new generation of Air Nomads. He did not necessarily have to procreate to create more. What do I mean? I mean that the Lion Turtle imparted to him the knowledge of how to bend another's energy. With that knowledge, he took away Fire Lord Ozai's firebending. It stands to reason, then, that he had the potential to give a bending ability to another. It also stands to reason that it's far easier to bend another's energy if they willingly submit to it instead of fight against it as Ozai did. In the Original Series, there were those who already took up residence in the Northern Air Temple and were air gliding. If they willingly submitted to it, he could have given them air bending and taught them the ways of the Air Nomads. Even better, he eventually was made aware of those Avatar groupies who became Air Nomad larpers who had adopted all of that culture with the exception of airbending. They would have been perfect candidates, and would likely have been willing subjects. With either one or both groups, BOOM, a brand new generation of Air Nomads created from scratch. Basically, what happens later in LOK could have happened much earlier, but by Aang's active intervention and guidance.
@@wowjackwow1 We don't don't know that he couldn't, only that he didn't. The Lion Turtle taught him energy bending, which he then used to take a bending ability away from Ozai. If he can take a bending ability away from someone, like I said in my original comment, it _stands to reason_ that he could in like manner give a bending ability to someone. And again, as I pointed out, it might even be easier to give or take away a bending ability if the one whose energy is being bent is a willing subject, unlike Ozai, who fought against it. I would guess the Northern Air Temple occupants and the Avatar Nomad Groupies would be willing subjects whose energies could be bent relatively easily to impart the ability.
Honestly they clearly changed Suki, but I like how since Kiyoshi Island is basically closed itself off from the world and Suki has never really talked to anyone outside the Island, she's awkward with Sokka and unintentionally "emasculates" him. But a small shame no sexist Sokka. Not even a little. Suki's actress looks very pretty tho. With AND without the makeup! But 1 big thing with the Live Action is how they made all the past Avatars USELESS. Even Roku. They also made Kiyoshi unnecessarily mean. Like she's SCARY and possibly blunt, but not mean for no reason.
4:32 - It’s confirmed: the Cabbage guy is in the series, and he’s played by the same actor who voiced him!
The past really is always there to “ haunt “ you eh ?

this live action brings the same energy with one piece live action. They gave off the same energy but how the story progresses is bended.
@@amateurbarnaby I'm only demeaning those clowns who won't watch cartoons on some sort of principle, not if they legitimately can't watch it for some reason.
I also support the show as a love letter. It's very clear that everybody involved is super into it.
So I was originally iffy about them removing Sokka’s sexism when I first heard about it, but after this and subsequent episodes I feel like they replaced it with something much better for Sokka’s character arc. It still primarily focuses on him becoming a man and here you see it, he is insecure and has a lot of responsibilities which he is very unsure of. Replacing an episode of him overcoming sexism (which is not very realistic, you can’t just suddenly respect women overnight if you spent your whole life placing them in a basket separate from you) with him learning to combat imposter syndrome is arguably an improvement for him as a character, where one is a story about prejudice bred out of ignorance, his new storyline is about coming to terms with what his capabilities are and how to best channel them. That, in the long run especially with the roles he assumes in Book 3, make so much more sense.
Finally someone saying this!
I was in the same boat, I do think it still over coming the sexism did make sense for sokka in the original but I think this does get the benefits of hindsight where we start to see. He's starting his journey overcoming imposter syndrome much earlier.
As an aside I think Sokka's flip on sexism did actually make sense for him, he grew up in a war ravaged village that had been sent back to bare bones survival. All the bad ass bending women were already gone and they were back to hunter gatherer mode, so sokka grew up around women only doing the stereotypical women of the age. But Sokka has an analytical mind and shortly after being beaten he realizes what he thought he might be wrong about women and goes to test his hypothesis where he gets summarily whooped and realizes this view on women was flatly wrong and he gives up that old world veiw for a new one. You're write lots of people might dig in their heals in that situation but it's a credit to his character that he did accept reality. Another notable time we see this happen is at the fire nation footloose party where he starts to realize thanks to and the fire nation isn't just full of evil people
I wrestled with a woman and let me tell you... there is nothing funnier watching or more humbling to the misogynistic dudes to get rolled on the mat by "a girl."
Especially when you're an idiot kid who can have their entire worldview broken by anything.
But to say it can't happen? I've personally watched it match after match.
Zuko: Avatar, he is a coward!!!
Also Zuko seeing Avatar Kyoshi: I HAVE TO ESCAPE !!!!
To be fair, he did try to fight her first. Even though it was suicide.
Commander Zhao needs to be appreciated more! As someone who loved to hate him in the animated series, I feel the same here and his actor deserves a lot of praise for it. One of my favorite performances in the series.
He is my favorite actor of the series so far tbh
Agreed, he was really great in the series.
An interesting thing about the water bending scroll, there are two very important people that Kanna (Gran Gran) could've gotten it from. Hama, her best friend, or Pakku, her ex.
That scroll contained the Southern waterbending style that was unique to the Southern Tribe. I doubt that Pakku would have had it, since he is from the Northern tribe. And Hama was captured when she was defending the tribe from the firebenders. It makes more sense that the scroll was kept safe within the village and guarded by the elders, like Gran Gran, since it was part of their culture.
As a fan of the original animated series as it was coming out, this whole series does it absolute justice! Happy to see you guys enjoying it as well. 🎉
As someone who liked this series but only seeing hate for it, I love that you guys aren't afraid to say how much you've been enjoying this show.
I don't know where you're looking but there's plenty of love being shown for this show. Not only that but it has a positive score on Rotten Tomatoes for the audience
I’ve seen a lot people saying it was good but I have seen some say it’s bad but their complaints are kind of weird.
thats internet for ya
@@Kingcrimson_1456 i know right it feels like many of them just hating because they just want to hate it
As our uncle Iroh told us once, if we look for the light, we'll often find it, but if we look for the dark, that's the only thing we'll see
"Fire bending would be so cool"
*shows how Kataras mother gets burned to death*
...
Yep, really cool xD
I wanted Kyoshi to give the full breakdown of the Avatar State, too, but on reflection I realized that she'd be far more interested in the power boost than the drawbacks.
since she technically possessed Aang so kyoshi can't do much because she still under the influenced of Aang's body and since we know that she is known by her bending prowess so she probably holding back.we don't want the entire village being destroy if she go crazy over the avatar state.
To be fair, Aang didn't find out about the drawbacks to the avatar state until book 2.
Kyoshi is f*cking terrifying, they got that right for sure
For sure... everything was on point... from the costume and make-up to her very tall stature.
See... that's more what I wish they'd do. Quit rehashing the same story but more mid and just... give us a live-action Kyoshi. Or any of the Avatars before Aang. Just give us a land back stoner comedy with Surfing Dude Avatar that turns dark and has Ko get his wife.
There is so much and we just keep going to the exact same well.
Y'alls titles for these episodes are pissing certain people off, and it's bringing me so much joy! 💜
Glad to hear! We won't apologize for liking something lol
@@sortastupid One of the reasons that y'all are one of the best! 💜
@@sortastupidsorry y’all are getting hate for just enjoying something 💀 i’d rather people enjoy themselves over hating something. Btw i love watching all your reactions they make my day ❤
@@sortastupid I'm glad you didn't apologize, screw the haters, i enjoyed this live action series and is better than the crappy movie
I would slightly argue that the show does it slightly better than the animation Katara getting the scroll from her grandma to learn Water Bending makes more sense to me given that realistically they wouldn't have allowed Katara to practice out of fear of the Fire Nation.
Fun fact that bit where they talk about Kyoshi’s origins is pulled straight from the Kyoshi novels. Which are exceptional in my opinion
Even a purest would have to admit the direction is pretty phenomenal.
I watched the whole thing and genuinely enjoyed this adaptation I hope they get a season 2 !
They better
I enjoyed it, flaws and all. I really hope they get a season 2 and 3..
@@soramirez5473 it makes sense
This is actually one of my favorite episodes from the first season! I won’t spoil, but the series is enjoyable and does have some good surprises later on!
this is the reaction that i was looking for, i lose it when kyoshi showed up
Love that you guys literally came together to watch this
They have a studio now all other reactions are recorded in the past
The Ian somerholder (Damon from vampire diaries) blanket is immaculate 😂😭
Uh oh guys. They put AMAZING in the title. Quickly, let's bully & ridicule them for enjoying something 😂
For real though, glad to see y'all enjoying it.
Hahahaha 😂 for real though I do love this show and love that these guys are enjoying it too. But I I've seen some Strong TH-cam titles that I read and I'm like "Oh f*ck.. the more hardcore anime fans are gonna come for them.." 😅
I like the show, i like how they also like the show
But if you saw their other video, the title also said that this live action is better than the source material
That’s what getting on people nerves
@@AtarashifatanYeah but that my friend is what we call clickbait. Even if they genuinely did mean it though, there's nothing really to be upset about in the end. I've actually seen people that did like The Last Airbender Movie (granted they could've been trolling as I did see one who was saying the overall look of the characters were better than this) which doesn't really ruffle my feathers personally.
Non-benders continue to be by far the most overpowered thing in this universe.
The Kyoshi scene was amazing and I loved Suki's and Sokka's chemistry too!
Great reaction! :)
You guys are one of my favorite react channels. I'm so happy about the positive vibes you guys bring, and i love you all for giving this show a real chance. You guys are awesome!
First thing first, i love this adaptation, the only thing i kinda feel iffy, is the fact aang talk to kyoshi first, since in the show and the novels, they could only talk to all the past life after they talk to their previous life, like korra's is aang, aang's is roku, and its actually really heavely pushed in kyoshi novels, since kyoshi didnt want to talk to kuruk, to the point it takes so long for her to talk to yangchen.
Anyway, i love that they include elements from korra and the novels into this, like kyoshi's backstory
Can’t wait to see the reaction I am really enjoying the series before I watch episode one people comments in other videos made nervous about the series but after watching episode 1 I will not let people who dislike it control my enjoyment of course it can never beat the original but I look at it as it own version.
9:15 Also consider, Tenzin is the baby of the family. Bumi is the oldest and a muggle, Kya's waterbender. Aang must've been desperate when Tenzin came along.
Best part of the video "why you sick?
No why?
The shut tf up 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Just want to say there’s a line in a later episode *not a spoiler* that one of the group says that mentions how they encountered pirates and giant koi fish so presumably there’s time passing between episodes as well and they experienced some episodes of the cartoon off screen
Yeah you hear a other 'did you hear he stopped a volcano'
I like the change. It makes sense. Kyoshi is a BEAST
The cozy vibes up in this studio loving it.
Kyoshi is one of my favorite characters, she's all " I don't give a peace of dirt who you are, destroyed my home...I BURN YOUR SOUL "
I love the chemistry of this channel😂😂😂😂
Great reaction guys! You’re fun to watch. This episode was awesome
Lmfao I love Boom's Ian Somerholder blanket😂 Need one too
1:24 1:42 YO THAT WAS HILARIOUS IM CRYING WTF
The title of the last episode should be: "The BEST Live Action Series EVER"
I totally agree!!!! Even the critics said that this live action series is everything the movie never was
“I need a cigarette after that”!😂😂😂
As someone that's never seen the animated series, Kyoshi coming in to wreck the fire benders was SO. F*CKING. AWESOME. And I can tell from comments that the flirting with the kyoshi warrior girl (sorry, can't recall her name) and Sokka was different here, but it was understandable and hilarious to me in this context. Fun ep!
8/10 adaptation, but the masks episode goddamn 10/10
1:24: Damn. Boom a savage!
I cackled at firebender sous vide 😂
My favourite reaction channel now LMAOOO
Love your reactions) and loving the show so far) But damn, there so much hate for it... I just don't get it 🤷 all the TH-camrs I watched, who likes the original series are enjoying the show as much as I do, but there are more videos coming out every day with titles like"New avatar adaptation is horrible!". I just don't get it, these fanboys mast be mad or something 🤷
I just realized another reason why Gram-Gram would have the Waterbending Scroll. SPOILERS:
Remember who she was engaged to?
MASTER PAKKU aka. The Waterbending Master who helps teach Aang and Katara! What better way to tie that plot point in than having their falling out be over that stigma of training women, and would explain why Pakku might be more tolerant and toned-down here than he was in the animated show.
@@moonlitskylight5740 Not yet..but just in case, don't spoil me. I want to view this show on it's own merits.
well done NETFLIX FIRST WAS ONE PIECE THEN YUYU HAKUSHO and now AVATAR really WELL DONE !
YYH was ass bro
Why? What didnt you liked it ! ? @@TwilightOroChi
@@mikelach7550 The story was rushed and badly paced, Yusuke wasn't portrayed all that well, genkai got shafted and probably more. I never got to finish it either, I stopped after 3-4 episodes I think.
I did like the action and the comedy that was done quite well
@@TwilightOroChi It was better than the crappy movie
@@tovolume What movie?
I loved the series. But spoilers
One a the few things I have some problem with is that Aang didn't learn any waterbending. He should have been learning waterbending with Katarra. If they would have kept that from the series then it would have been better. Like book 2 is all about earth so are they going to squeeze waterbending in there too. I feel like it's going to be a little busy next season unless they aren't going to follow the book progression. They are already going to have to make the time extend more because Gorden is already much older looking than he was in book 1 and his voice is much deeper also.
I was like you guys..... then I hit episode 5. Wondering how you guys are going feel about it after that point.
on ep 6 and LOVING it
@@sortastupid🧏♂️I respect y'all's judgement and I will keep watching. I just stopped after ep 5 yesterday cuz they were throwing everything including the kitchen sink in each episode from 3-5 . 🤷♂️ Maybe my brain was just on overload on what they were trying to convey/get a cross in such a short season.
I like how you guys say you like the acting most criticisms I’ve seen are people complaining about the acting
The funniest thing is reading the trash ass pple in the comments who are angry cuz you guys like the live adaptation so much😂😂😂😂...anyway great video as always
I will say, I was a bit hard on this episode specifically, but after watching the others and your reactions, I am a bit more lenient. Acting on point, set design top tier, sound and music, as well as costumes are so fucking good!! However...the original will always be superior, just because I believe the animation still stands the test of time, as well as the funny moments lend to the emotional moments having more weight, cuz while they're still kids on adventure, they know when they need to get serious and the cartoon leaned into that heavily
Meanwhile, Live Action is 90% serious plot and 10% comedy
@@DeltaGreen03yeah that plus some of the changes made didn't make me like it. Felt like too much exposition and talking, I keep debating if I wanna watch cause it feels so different. But honestly despite others just not liking or hating something, even if it's something I myself don't enjoy, it's pretty awesome and fun to watch them love it. It's kinda helping me feel less annoyed at it tbh so there's that.
@@AL7249 Right? Sometimes these reactions give me new perspectives or make me realize I'm either being too critical, or not critical enough. Live Action does feel more "PLOT, NOW!!! FUN TIMES NEVER!!!" which is a bit of a detriment to it overall, but it's still good for what they're going for
It was better than the crappy movie, one of the critics said that that this live action series is everything that the movie never was
Yes, another! Can't wait for the episode 4 reaction!
Thanks for genuine reactions guys. But, I don't understand the Avatar hate trend, I get that it is not 1:1 but the emotions are there, just like one piece live action there are so many changes but it didnt affect the storyline at all. I hoped this series gets a season 2. Some content creators joining the avatar hate for clout realshit.
note: if you watched the live action and nitpick every freaking detail, then go watch the original series. Book 1 is not that great either it is just character introductions.
Well, I gotta say that if there is one thing I learned watching the reaction videos of this show is: Avatar fans are insuferrable, i never saw a group of people so focused on hating, not even the Star Wars fans are like this.
I really dont like the many changes they did , i know they want to make it different but it still sucks seeing a bunch of things from the cartoon removed , especially the soka thing

I’m not that fond of how Kyoshi was portrayed in this. People can say that Kyoshi was super aggressive or violent in the series but if you pay attention to her talking she rarely even raised her voice in the original where as here she’s outright yelling at Aang about every shortcoming he’s had. I liked pretty much everything else (except maybe the lore change that Aang needs to go to a specific Avatar’s shrine to talk to them and not they’re all inside him when he needs them) but I didn’t really like Kyoshi.
Yes! Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. I vibed with the other changes they made - and that fight scene was DOPE - a much more poignant Kyoshi possession scene than what we got in the cartoon. But the portrayal/characterization when we meet her is nothing like her personality in ATLA. She was always so incredibly calm in the cartoon - even when facing an enemy, she was always so steady. And as you said, never even raised her voice. This series made her so antagonistic - and I don't vibe with that. She came off as more of a warmonger in this than an isolationist.
My only complaint is that Aang is supposed to go through the cycle of avatars to get to past ones, so he should have to talk to Roku before he can Kyoshi. But maybe that’s explained because of being at her shrine, and I love Kyoshi so not a huge loss to me
Kyoshi is terrifying bro💀
Love the love for Kyoshi!!!!

This series has so far been incredible and regardless of what some people might say, I’m so glad the avatar universe finally got a good live action adaptation❤️
And now we're at first of 2 choices in this show that I didn't like.... Kyoshi's portrayal/characterization. Kyoshi was a strong and imposing character in the cartoon but she was also *calm and steady.* In this series however she comes off as antagonistic and volatile - even slightly erratic. I enjoyed the other choices they made here - like actually getting to talk to her this early on and I don't hate that Kyoshi was the one revealing information about the Avatar State instead of Roku. I liked that she got to take over so she could fight and save her people -- it was a much more poignant possession than what we saw in the cartoon. And I LOVED that fight scene!! OMG, I rewatched that scene like 3 times because it was so dope! But the moments leading up to it, when we meet her and she's just nothing like her personality in the cartoon.. I did not like it. She comes off as a warmonger or a conqueror instead of the isolationist she was. This is one reason why I would give the show a 8 or 9 out of 10 instead of a perfect 10.
I stopped imagining it as a 1 to 1 exact copy and just as a true remix.
i loved you guys reactions to this season..istg i need another 2 from this show cause i can only imagine what they can do with more of a budget. i love the changes, its its own universe to me. people who did nt like it usually want it to be a 1:1 adaptation. i love how they made changes it actually made things make sense. some things were a lil...off like KOH but that to me was fan service and to speed up a few things so it gets a pass. i cant wait to see toph, the boulder sparky sparky boom man AND i wanna see katara blood bend a mf...also, the show gave me an idea for an avatar video game, one set after korra.
I COULD SAY THAT THEY DID ENJOY IT...
the second episode was definitely better than the first!! The chemistry between Suki and Sokka was great, the visuals on Kyoshi and her fighting choreography were badass same for the choreography of the Kyoshi warriors and Iroh brings the desperately needed light- heartedness and wholesomeness that had been missing so far. But the change that Aang is only able to contact his past lives when being at their shrines is mad stupid considering how many Avatars came before him the past 10.000 years and that most of them definitely don't have shrines anymore so .. yeah no connection to the majority of his past lives then I guess😅. That really is one bit of bad writing and example for a bad change they made
It's weird that they don't explain why mom's name is momo...in the cartoon momo steals a peach from sokka...peach in Japanese is momo
Loving this show so much so happy it’s not horrible
I just want to point out that the original show is an anime. It doesn’t matter if it’s Japanese or not because anime just means animation. That’s like the difference between calling someone a pro and a professional. All cartoons are technically anime whether you like it or not, the distinction is completely made up.
17:30
SOKKA: "can I have a fan?"
SUKI: "here's my onlyfan" 😘
Could you imagine getting your ass kicked by kyoshi? I feel like yes, please. It is right?? Yes? no? I don't know. Yeah, I think that would be okay with me. Lol. Be like the honor is mine my lady!😊
When yall gonna react to hellsing abridged
been done on patreon for a bit now. Will come to TH-cam at some point soon probably
Great reaction. Matched mine just about.
13:40 If this scene add slap, it became asian parenting and we dont need season 2, Ang become a doctor
Suki a baddie, I give the show an 8.5/10 because of that.
Yo, Boom, give me my car back, dawg 😢
Now give me full series of Avatar Kyoshi she is so cool😍 only sad part that Korra destroyed her and others in future
adaptation of Kyoshi novels would be cool, ngl
Okay so Kyoshi: Appears, Blasts Zuko, Says nothing, Flys away, Makes a Shockwave, Bends ALL FOUR ELEMENTS INTO ONE, STILL SAYS NOTHING and changes bodies back with Aang
POP OFF KYOSHI POP OOOFFFFF
The only thing that makes this episode a 8/10 was that there was NO Agni Kai between Zhao and Zuko
@0:40 mayo is the spirit condiment is the whitest thing i've ever heard anyone say LOL also adaptation is the highest form of flattery in hollywood so i'm grateful netflix and the showrunners were able to bring this story to a wider audience. people who can't appreciate animation will finally get a chance to experience this amazing world and who knows maybe they'll finally give cartoons a chance. it IS blasphemous tho to say this series is better than the animated series, cus the OG cartoon won a peabody award xD
Ngl this episode felt a little wonky but It looks good so... can't complain thus far 🤷♂️
i dont get why people complaine that they remove sokka's ''overcoming the sexism arc''. it would most definitely not fly in today's media. especially if they would do it source accurate. this'll rough some geathers, but that was one of the most unsubtle and shoehorned agendas the original has ever had. people would bash it as a ''woke garbage''
so im glad sokka and suki's dynamic was less about ''she inspires sokka to stop being sexist'' and more about ''he inspires suki to go, see outside world''. because suki leave her village and now she has better background to do that.
I really hate the word “woke” because it kinda just lost all meaning
@@Kingcrimson_1456 same
I know who does the titles now

Despite some of its flaws I really enjoyed it and I think they did a damn good job with it
It wasn’t awful but it wasn’t great
But better than the crappy movie
As good as the live action was, seems like y’all aren’t giving an honest reaction to this.. are y’all being paid to promote this show?

Alright then! It's not the Animation but it is just as good in my books😄👍👍 thank god it's not the Movie😅
Speaking of Aang as a father and all that...
One thing I will never understand is why Aang did not _create_ more airbenders whom he could have guided into become a new generation of Air Nomads. He did not necessarily have to procreate to create more.
What do I mean? I mean that the Lion Turtle imparted to him the knowledge of how to bend another's energy. With that knowledge, he took away Fire Lord Ozai's firebending. It stands to reason, then, that he had the potential to give a bending ability to another. It also stands to reason that it's far easier to bend another's energy if they willingly submit to it instead of fight against it as Ozai did.
In the Original Series, there were those who already took up residence in the Northern Air Temple and were air gliding. If they willingly submitted to it, he could have given them air bending and taught them the ways of the Air Nomads.
Even better, he eventually was made aware of those Avatar groupies who became Air Nomad larpers who had adopted all of that culture with the exception of airbending. They would have been perfect candidates, and would likely have been willing subjects.
With either one or both groups, BOOM, a brand new generation of Air Nomads created from scratch. Basically, what happens later in LOK could have happened much earlier, but by Aang's active intervention and guidance.
how he couldn't give air bending to people
@@wowjackwow1 We don't don't know that he couldn't, only that he didn't. The Lion Turtle taught him energy bending, which he then used to take a bending ability away from Ozai. If he can take a bending ability away from someone, like I said in my original comment, it _stands to reason_ that he could in like manner give a bending ability to someone.
And again, as I pointed out, it might even be easier to give or take away a bending ability if the one whose energy is being bent is a willing subject, unlike Ozai, who fought against it. I would guess the Northern Air Temple occupants and the Avatar Nomad Groupies would be willing subjects whose energies could be bent relatively easily to impart the ability.
Honestly they clearly changed Suki, but I like how since Kiyoshi Island is basically closed itself off from the world and Suki has never really talked to anyone outside the Island, she's awkward with Sokka and unintentionally "emasculates" him. But a small shame no sexist Sokka. Not even a little. Suki's actress looks very pretty tho. With AND without the makeup! But 1 big thing with the Live Action is how they made all the past Avatars USELESS. Even Roku. They also made Kiyoshi unnecessarily mean. Like she's SCARY and possibly blunt, but not mean for no reason.
No i dont need a 1:1 movie but wtf, way to many things wrong
One piece did it waaaay better
