Having Aang "take a breather" instead of deliberately running away from his responsibilities is the clearest indication these writers had no idea why the original worked so well. Instead of Aang running away because he's a scared kid, and showing him have those flaws which he progressively grows out of until he finally faces his responsibilities, changing it from that to "oh no, he never meant to leave, he just went to clear his head! It was an accident he never came back!" Aang's choice to abandon the Air Nomads weighs so heavy on him in the OG because he feels directly responsible for their deaths. He feels as though if he didn't run away, his people could still be alive. Taking that weight and guilt away from him takes away a huge chunk of his character. In the Netflix version, he can't be blamed for anything because he was simply "taking a breather," not abandoning his people. Why are modern writers so afraid to give characters flaws?
Because most "modern" writers are narcissistic, they cannot imagine anyone other than the people they hate having flaws, so any protagonist they write is 100% flawless.

Their costumes look so weirdly "artificial" like they just ordered a third rate cosplay outfit from Amazon and this is the first time wearing it after taking it out the plastic wrap
The last Airbender had some very serious elements but they never shied away from funny jokes and light-hearted humor to ease the tension. But the Netflix series sucked all the fun out of the original cartoon to appeal to game of thrones fans 😂😂
Why are you hating on GoT exactly? Are you saying that every piece of media ever made needs to have lighthearted and funny moments all the time? Are you saying that you don’t want diverse media with different genres and styles that appeal to different types of audiences? Are you just a fucking moron who still uses 😂 in 2024?
I seriously don't get the craze behind making anime (or the avater) a live action. People say that it makes it more serious or "grown up" but it seems like a disrespect to assume that the anime (for example One Piece) are devoid such themes and concepts in the first place.
It also doesn't get none anime fans into anime either. For example if I saw the live action remake of One Piece whenever I moved to three different houses then I'd never be super obsessed with the series like I am now.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hrTbf the live action one piece is a decent way of that sorta thing tho, sat down with my at-the-time partner and watched it (she wasn’t an anime person) and it didn’t have the tropes like Sanji’s perversion etc which would drive most normal people away. (For context I’d say the one piece show is the exception, far from the rule)
You showing this from the perspective of somebody who has never watched the animated show but only the live action, is a perfect example of why the live action is so terrible. They're going to think the animated show is just this same thing even though it is so much better.
It's not filler, filler is only in reference to anime only episode when adapting a manga and waiting for the source material get ahead of the show so it can be adapted. Fortunately, Japan has decided to give their anime season breaks now.
@@lainiwakura1776 Filler is not only in reference to anime, it’s also used to refer to entries in serialized series that don’t have plot relevance. It’s also used to describe when movies have similarly unimportant content which typically happens to reach certain time allotment goals.
Maybe someday woman lose their voting ability! Because projects like"Agatha all along"seriously makes someone question woman's comedic ability(and intelligence).
Apparently the reason Netflix shows have so much repeated exposition is because it is *designed* to be watched with another screen. It is *expected* people will be on their phones so when they look up they can still get the gist. Disgusting!
@StefanRial-i4f She teaches him the fundamentals on their way to the Northern Water Tribe, and then after that whole saga, she is deemed by Pakku to be sufficiently competent to continue training Aang. That's her significance as a companion and presenting her as a complete novice who can't even lift the tiniest bit of water at the time she meets Aang also begs the question as to why the Avatar state would even choose to end it's stasis considering she really hadn't even unlocked her bending yet.
@@goblez5900 Pakku stated that Aang had more raw talent. I don't think that's entirely true because Aang can't Heal or Blood Bend, but he did get the most basic elements of Water Bending more quickly than Katara. Interestingly, Katara actually started to excel when she had to use the rarer techniques. The basics were the hard part for her but as soon as she got those down, Healing and Blood Bending were a breeze.
I love how you like gas-light the entire time like you haven't seen the original show so you can make indirect comparisons so random rebars don't come in here screaming about how you shouldn't compare the shows. You're sneaky, like a black ninja samurai.
@@moh.syafrianabie8899 he has a mentally deranged green card seeking gold digger as the mother of his children, plus he’s a professional streamer. Good decisions are not part of this man’s MO
Aang's tattoos slowly lighting up as opposed to just instantly glowing is an excellent visual metaphor. It's a perfect example of how the show pointlessly takes longer to communicate the events of the original while adding nothing of substance.
You see everybody was saying this was doomed from the start because the original creators left but that wasn’t the case. It was doomed because Aaron Ehasz wasn’t a part of it!!!
Not just him, either. Everyone added something to the world and characters, except Brike. Just have a scroll through the authorship of the episodes. It's crazy how little Brike were involved in making Sokka likable, giving Iroh wisdom, making Zuko more than a villain-of-the-week, or anything with Azula.
@robertbeisshert3315 wasn't it Brike's idea to make Azula a younger sister rather than a younger brother? Not the most significant change, but it's not "nothing"
@@robertbeisert3315 Let’s calm down here it definitely was a collaborative effort with them involved. It’s just that Ehasz did the heavy lifting among others.
They clearly named it after a fictional creature. Just like the Earth King forces everyone to pretend he has a bear, when everyone knows those don't exist any more than the war does.
That Idea of Sokka landing a hit in the fight would've been so kino. Having a somewhat competent Sokka would be a great opportunity in an adaption to show a less cartoony portrayal. Sokka realistically would know some moves as the son of a warrior in an Inuit tribe and the last one left to protect the village.
my favorite part about storytelling is having entire character motivations, personalities, and perspectives vomitted into my lap within the first 20 minutes of the season :)
@@HalbdaemonKite Exactly. I was just like ''Meh, it's pretty bad'', but it wasn't infuriating like the Netflix show, which really pretends it's the next Game of Thrones.
They shit the bed right out of the bat by showing you the air tribe when you're only supposed to see an empty land and keep wondering what it was like when people were there
Yeah, seems like it was was more concerned with exposition than basic storytelling. It's like how I'd explain it to someone, not how I'd actually write it.
The average modern person struggles with attention span so therefore every type of media has to literally say everything the character is supposed to convey.
If by modern you mean born after the printing press, I might agree, but if you mean since the Internet, then I completely disagree. The kind of anti-attention that causes this repetitive storytelling has afflicted the human race for far longer than the Internet, if not forever. My own mother (in her 60s now) is the strongest example of a low attention span I've ever seen. My mother never simply watches anything. At all times, she will do something else while the TV is on in the background, whether crocheting a hat or playing candy crush tier games on her phone. She would rather do her taxes while watching TV than just watching TV alone. She pays no attention to the shows she "watches" and ends up completely misunderstanding key plot points despite often rewinding and watching large sections again (because nothing of the scenery or character arcs is familiar at a any given point when she momentarily remembers she is watching a show). If people like my own mother are a non-negligible percentage of the population, then TV shows have always needed to be able to cater to people with an attention span measured in negative values of time. I think this is a big reason why those procedural shows back in the day were so successful. Something like "Hogan's Heroes," or going even further back to something like "The Shadow" radio plays, is a great example of a show you can miss half a season and still be perfectly ready to watch the newest episode. The characters essentially don't change and fit clear predefined roles. The Shadow of the very first radio show is nearly identical to The Shadow of the last. You can watch episodies in erratic ways and still get far more than enough information to know what Sgt. Schultz is doing in a given episode of Hogan's Heroes because it's the same as the last 30 you saw.

best part about this "adaptation" is that we didn't even need to have all the backstory in EP1. The anime did it right, it dropped hints about what happened throughout season 1. Netflix thought they knew better smh
You say that, but when you pay attention to how people on the internet consume and discuss media, you realize this is actually necessary for them and Netflix had their finger on the pulse (on specifically that matter).
This is what you get when 2 people take credit for a 3-man undertaking, with only 1 of those 3 actually pulling all the weight, and the other 2 just taking credit.
Bryke created ATLA and were 2/3 of the head writers. They left this crap when they saw how the studio and showrunners were butchering what they created. Honestly weird asf that e;r and others claim Ehasz made ATLA by himself and Bryke "just took credit".
@@hanburgundy4317 E;R is not claiming Bryke didn't make the show. Just that they suffered from the narrative coherency and character building etc that Ehasz brought to the show. Bryke had a lot of good ideas (including the original concept) but they failed in many other aspects.
@thibaldus3 He's heavily implied that they didn't contribute anything of value or merit and that Ehasz was the "real" writer, giving all credit to him; it's the same as people that claim George Lucas didn't make Star Wars what it is and instead everyone else that he hired did. It was a collaborative effort, and no one (neither Lucas nor "Bryke") ever claimed sole responsibility, so idk why people go out of their way to act like they did. Personally, I loved both ATLA and LOK, despite their flaws, but I doubt that LOK's flaws were due to Ehasz not returning; most were studio related (only given one short season, then after success demanded more) or just character flaws to grow from - the love triangle and bad jokes can't really be excused that way, though lol
Sorry man, I didn't want you to find out this way... Everyone you know is dead, this is just an elaborate hallucination to make you feel less alone. Yes. You are the only one who saw this video.
I love how Sokka calls Aang little baldperson when he sees him the first time specifically not to assume his gender. I mean, he would happily leave Aang behind to freeze to death but at least he's not sexist!
I'm curious if any of this is actually AI generated. Katara's grandmother herself looks like an AI generated effect. So much of this just looks uncanny.
25:10 - Did you notice it before now? Their clothes are absolutely pristine. Did anybody on the set know how to build a world? This is genuinely bonkers to me.
Things like 3:26 really pisses me off, its so dumb, I hate when shows/movies do this. I refer to it as the "pointless sacrifice" and its just lazy writing. He literally could have just turned around, made the wall, and he would have been fine too, let alone just running away right after wrecking the dude.
Saka had THE single most important character arc in the cartoon. At least, you'd THINK that's how the Wokes would think, because he's a sexist who learns to not be sexist. Then, for some reason in the show, these lessons are removed. I don't get it.
The script was so hamfisted I lost IQ points. I assume the screenwriters must be avid devourers of elmer's glue as I have a hard time believing people of average intelligence wrote this mess.
yeah, it's an epidemic. e.g., I used to like Mauler's stuff... ...until he realized that he can both stuff his face AND pay for all of the Cheetos without having to actually do anything, if he merely engages in interminable boring livestreams wherein nothing changes from one to the next except possibly which game he's playing (& making intriguing comments such as "ah, a health potion... good" about) because simpering morons will pay to have senpai notice their superchats.¹ I mean goddamn, I'm lazy as hell too but I thought it was just me until I started waiting for the Mauler reviews the ones announced in 2019 I mean ¹(I assume. I watched like ten minutes of one, years ago. I think he has released a single video since then maybe?)

Showing the destruction of air nomads can never be as good as peoples imagination of it. Showing the aftermath when Aang wakes up after 100 zears is way better in my opinion.
There are flaws in the original cartoon, but most can be hand-waved away because they don't drop the ball on the seriously good stuff. This looks like it made a whole bunch of new problems that won't get addressed and can't be so easily hand-waved.
They took one of the best animated shows ever and sucked everything good out of it. The actors were giving all they had but they were given pure trash to work with.
Netflix: "We have to change Sokka so he's not sexist anymore. Even if he eventually learns to respect women later, just starting out that way is irredeemable and we can't have one of our three protagonists start out irredeemably." Also Netflix: "So anyway, then Sokka says to leave the small child to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere..."
Why is it that in both live action version of Zuko they can't be bother to shave one of his eyebrow? The guy face is supposed to have been BURN. You WILL lose your eyebrow to that.
Because Hollywood is allergic to ugly people. A disfigurement like that would be a lot more gruesome in reality than it is in a drawing. You wouldn't have any tween girls fangirling over live action Zuko that's for sure.

I love how in that cartoon show this netflix live action is about, the world conquer Fire nation attack using the comet and burn all the Air Temples and deleting almost all Airbenders in a single day, and here they just get lucky to got *ALL OF THEM* reunited in a single spot, genius.
I thought I was going crazy when I saw the user reviews. How could anyone think this show was good? No amount of nostalgia glasses could obfuscate how bad Netflix Avatar was. And GOOD GOD the EXPOSITION. WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?! I can't believe I’m saying this, but the movie was better. Sure, it skipped a lot, but at least it was shorter.
They also genuinely think he's calling the One Piece reboot bad even when he practically winks to the camera multiple times. I have to assume they're only listening to the video and not watching it, they cant all be this dim.
Yep its funny. I do wonder whether he thinks that other Netflix anime he referenced is good or not though. Haven't seen it or heard anything about it so I don't know. And I lost where it was in the video so I can't even check the name.
It explains how there are people who like AvaFlix; they cannot see into deeper messages of speaking and visuals and thus the need of expository speaking.
32:07 Haven't gotten through the video yet, and am already so offended by this movie. However, this scene in particular was so unforgivable. Sokka would have never backed down and cowered behind Katara. He would have put his life at risk to save his sister and his tribe, in spite of his shortcomings. When the fire nation arrived in the beginning, he faced them head on. So many instances of him endangering himself to save the ones he loved. That was what made him likeable. Seeing him back away behind her was the absolute antithesis to his whole character. No integrity, no honor. Pitiful.
It's really funny how obvious it is that no one knows what to do with Avatar as an IP. Korra really sunk any and all potential this series had and doomed it to forever be a reboot horror show, didn't it? Like come on, we could've had a sequel series with the main characters as adults by now if they had played their cards right.
There's so much stuff they changed about the show and I don't even understand why. Like why would they make it so that Katara doesn't get mad causing her to misuse her powers except she just uses her powers to try to grab her boat and then he's just bad at them
50:11 It's always impressive how episode 2 of Korra has the protagonist (with 13 years of training) chimpout and destroy an irreplaceable artifact (not even a replica) during entry level airbending training and Tenzin has to apologize for getting mad at that
She doesn't, though - that's one of the biggest complaints I have about e;r's videos: he lies. Korra _damaged_ the spinning gates, then by the end of the episode, she apologized for doing so AND for insulting and blaming Tenzin. "I wanted to apologize - for everything. I was frustrated at myself and I took it out on you. I'm sorry." While she apologizes, we see the Air Acolytes fixing the damaged gates as a metaphor for Korra and Tenzin fixing their damaged relationship. It's thematic. Korra then starts the _very next episode_ training with Jinora and Ikki with the spinning gates and honoring them as they should be. E;r leaves out Korra's apology, her taking full responsibility, her making amends with Tenzin, the Air Acolytes fixing the gates, and Korra learning the lesson as intended so he can lie about Korra and the entire situation to frame her as a bad character. The whole series is like that, but y'all eat it up and then repeat the lies cuz none of you have seen the show and won't bother to fact check him.
@@hanburgundy4317 It's mostly used as a gag to illustrate a bigger problem with the character. This lesson she's supposed to have learned by the end of the episode (blaming others before herself when she fails) would have been okay if the series stopped at this episode. But in the subsequent seasons she does it again and again.
@thibaldus3 I mean, that's fair lol But he never frames it that way. Korra does lash out pretty often in the first two books, but she always apologizes and learns from it, and she eventually outgrows that behavior. E;r just acts like she's a brat that never faces consequences or takes responsibility, and that's not true or fair to the character. It'd be like making a series of videos that only talk about Aang's worst behavior and leaving out the resolution to call him Waang and act like he's a terrible character.
@@drakron True.... *also one of the headwriters from the og avatar not being involved with korra being a reason it kind of sucked, but not the only reason*
The writers should go into politics; they're amazing at saying a whole lot of words without adding anything. It's genuinely incredible how every problem with this live-action reeemake was a non-issue in the cartoon, and your whole "guy-who's-never-seen-Avatar-watching-the-Netfux-version" routine highlights it more and more. It's like they went out of their way to screw up every possible scene.
Don't let this bad adaptation turn you off to checking out the original. The original is very well written, and ironically, though is targeted at children, is FAR more maturely written. The netflix series is written by immature adults who think they know what maturity is, hence why even though it's target at adults, it's even more childish than the cartoon MEANT for children. The original creators managed to capture lightning in a bottle with the original cartoon but have failed to do so since. Apparently they left the netflix project because THEY wanted to make a bunch of nonsense changes from the original.
I like how you approached this almost as someone who had not seen the original cartoon before this. A very nice touch, and very different from all of the other videos analyzing this disaster.

Having Aang "take a breather" instead of deliberately running away from his responsibilities is the clearest indication these writers had no idea why the original worked so well. Instead of Aang running away because he's a scared kid, and showing him have those flaws which he progressively grows out of until he finally faces his responsibilities, changing it from that to "oh no, he never meant to leave, he just went to clear his head!

Why are modern writers so afraid to give characters flaws?
Only bad people have flaws. And the people who write these stories have yet to discover self-reflection.

I seriously don't get the craze behind making anime (or the avater) a live action. People say that it makes it more serious or "grown up" but it seems like a disrespect to assume that the anime (for example One Piece) are devoid such themes and concepts in the first place.
It also doesn't get none anime fans into anime either. For example if I saw the live action remake of One Piece whenever I moved to three different houses then I'd never be super obsessed with the series like I am now.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hrTbf the live action one piece is a decent way of that sorta thing tho, sat down with my at-the-time partner and watched it (she wasn’t an anime person) and it didn’t have the tropes like Sanji’s perversion etc which would drive most normal people away.

You showing this from the perspective of somebody who has never watched the animated show but only the live action, is a perfect example of why the live action is so terrible. They're going to think the animated show is just this same thing even though it is so much better.

That's her significance as a companion and presenting her as a complete novice who can't even lift the tiniest bit of water at the time she meets Aang also begs the question as to why the Avatar state would even choose to end it's stasis considering she really hadn't even unlocked her bending yet.
@@goblez5900 Pakku stated that Aang had more raw talent. I don't think that's entirely true because Aang can't Heal or Blood Bend, but he did get the most basic elements of Water Bending more quickly than Katara.

The basics were the hard part for her but as soon as she got those down, Healing and Blood Bending were a breeze.

Yeah, seems like it was was more concerned with exposition than basic storytelling. It's like how I'd explain it to someone, not how I'd actually write it.
The average modern person struggles with attention span so therefore every type of media has to literally say everything the character is supposed to convey.
Or writers are getting more and more shit.
@@thibaldus3He's actually right. The average IQ is dropping.
That would actually be more difficult for the attention deficit
@@thibaldus3No, OP is right.
If by modern you mean born after the printing press, I might agree, but if you mean since the Internet, then I completely disagree. The kind of anti-attention that causes this repetitive storytelling has afflicted the human race for far longer than the Internet, if not forever.
My own mother (in her 60s now) is the strongest example of a low attention span I've ever seen. My mother never simply watches anything. At all times, she will do something else while the TV is on in the background, whether crocheting a hat or playing candy crush tier games on her phone. She would rather do her taxes while watching TV than just watching TV alone. She pays no attention to the shows she "watches" and ends up completely misunderstanding key plot points despite often rewinding and watching large sections again (because nothing of the scenery or character arcs is familiar at a any given point when she momentarily remembers she is watching a show).
If people like my own mother are a non-negligible percentage of the population, then TV shows have always needed to be able to cater to people with an attention span measured in negative values of time. I think this is a big reason why those procedural shows back in the day were so successful. Something like "Hogan's Heroes," or going even further back to something like "The Shadow" radio plays, is a great example of a show you can miss half a season and still be perfectly ready to watch the newest episode. The characters essentially don't change and fit clear predefined roles. The Shadow of the very first radio show is nearly identical to The Shadow of the last. You can watch episodies in erratic ways and still get far more than enough information to know what Sgt. Schultz is doing in a given episode of Hogan's Heroes because it's the same as the last 30 you saw.

@@hanburgundy4317 E;R is not claiming Bryke didn't make the show. Just that they suffered from the narrative coherency and character building etc that Ehasz brought to the show. Bryke had a lot of good ideas (including the original concept) but they failed in many other aspects.
@thibaldus3
He's heavily implied that they didn't contribute anything of value or merit and that Ehasz was the "real" writer, giving all credit to him; it's the same as people that claim George Lucas didn't make Star Wars what it is and instead everyone else that he hired did. It was a collaborative effort, and no one (neither Lucas nor "Bryke") ever claimed sole responsibility, so idk why people go out of their way to act like they did.
Personally, I loved both ATLA and LOK, despite their flaws, but I doubt that LOK's flaws were due to Ehasz not returning; most were studio related (only given one short season, then after success demanded more) or just character flaws to grow from - the love triangle and bad jokes can't really be excused that way, though lol

Haven't gotten through the video yet, and am already so offended by this movie. However, this scene in particular was so unforgivable. Sokka would have never backed down and cowered behind Katara. He would have put his life at risk to save his sister and his tribe, in spite of his shortcomings. When the fire nation arrived in the beginning, he faced them head on. So many instances of him endangering himself to save the ones he loved. That was what made him likeable. Seeing him back away behind her was the absolute antithesis to his whole character. No integrity, no honor. Pitiful.

She doesn't, though - that's one of the biggest complaints I have about e;r's videos: he lies. Korra _damaged_ the spinning gates, then by the end of the episode, she apologized for doing so AND for insulting and blaming Tenzin. "I wanted to apologize - for everything. I was frustrated at myself and I took it out on you. I'm sorry." While she apologizes, we see the Air Acolytes fixing the damaged gates as a metaphor for Korra and Tenzin fixing their damaged relationship. It's thematic. Korra then starts the _very next episode_ training with Jinora and Ikki with the spinning gates and honoring them as they should be.
E;r leaves out Korra's apology, her taking full responsibility, her making amends with Tenzin, the Air Acolytes fixing the gates, and Korra learning the lesson as intended so he can lie about Korra and the entire situation to frame her as a bad character.
The whole series is like that, but y'all eat it up and then repeat the lies cuz none of you have seen the show and won't bother to fact check him.

This lesson she's supposed to have learned by the end of the episode (blaming others before herself when she fails) would have been okay if the series stopped at this episode. But in the subsequent seasons she does it again and again.

I mean, that's fair lol But he never frames it that way. Korra does lash out pretty often in the first two books, but she always apologizes and learns from it, and she eventually outgrows that behavior. E;r just acts like she's a brat that never faces consequences or takes responsibility, and that's not true or fair to the character. It'd be like making a series of videos that only talk about Aang's worst behavior and leaving out the resolution to call him Waang and act like he's a terrible character.
And just like Roku, it vanished.
But unlike Roku, it wasnt needed the most.
Keep in mind, the original avatar creators left midway through production since Netflix wanted to have their own way.
Keep in mind they made Korra.
@@drakron True.... *also one of the headwriters from the og avatar not being involved with korra being a reason it kind of sucked, but not the only reason*
They were also boasting about their role in making the movie, right up until it flopped.
Brike are a joke.

The writers should go into politics; they're amazing at saying a whole lot of words without adding anything. It's genuinely incredible how every problem with this live-action reeemake was a non-issue in the cartoon, and your whole "guy-who's-never-seen-Avatar-watching-the-Netfux-version" routine highlights it more and more. It's like they went out of their way to screw up every possible scene.
Don't let this bad adaptation turn you off to checking out the original. The original is very well written, and ironically, though is targeted at children, is FAR more maturely written. The netflix series is written by immature adults who think they know what maturity is, hence why even though it's target at adults, it's even more childish than the cartoon MEANT for children.
The original creators managed to capture lightning in a bottle with the original cartoon but have failed to do so since. Apparently they left the netflix project because THEY wanted to make a bunch of nonsense changes from the original.
I assuming this is meant for other commenter because ER already seen the original
@@halinaqi2194 He made remarks referring to the original as if he hadn't seen it so I was unsure.
E;r is a huge fan of the original, he was just joking and pretending to be a person who would only watch the live action first.
@@asimhussain8716 E;R made a ton of avatar related videos, he's just acting like he doesn't have an idea about the OG show as a joke here.

I like how you approached this almost as someone who had not seen the original cartoon before this.
A very nice touch, and very different from all of the other videos analyzing this disaster.
Have a TND ! (Total nice day)

My uncle passed away today. A man who taught me much in life and essentially shaped me as a character is now gone for the rest of my life.
The same day, you drop an entire hour's worth of content for me to take my mind off it, and now I've watched out for the 4th time.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me ease my mind, even if for a moment, in these troubling times.
Funny how Zukko's burned eye is wider then his good eye
Of course Destiny liked the death note remake. 💀
