@@Ashley-fc7kd yh but it defeats the whole point of when sokka told toph that throughout his life Katara's been the one looking out for him, he also said "when i try to remember my mum, Katara's the only face i remember".
Kiawentiio (sorry if I didn't write it well) knows more of the expanded lore of ATLA than a lot of writers of the show. Well, but that doesn't mean the live action is bad. I actually watched the show twice already since I liked it a lot. But man, there are some scenes where we have tons of dialogues explaining stuff. Also, I did rewatch some episodes of the original Nick cartoon, and it also has scenes of people talking and explaining things. But it doesn't feel like they don't fit, in comparison to the netflix adaptation.
I saw an interview with Daniel Dae Kim (Ozai) saying as a joke: It's funny that I get to give my kids some really tough character development in this show. Just like I did with my own kids. I don't remember the exact words, you can look up interviews with DDK, and he says something like that.
Yea but that was an improvised Korra cannon that was written in, Aangs actor was actually right!!! Monks like Tibetan monks shave their heads for completely different reasons then combat.
@@The_Funny_FishstickEven so, the canon reason that LOK gave perfectly ties in given the setting of the world of Avatar. The air nomads may be based off tibetan monks but they also have arrow tattoos and bend air, which are things tibetan monks don't do in real life. So it makes sense their reasoning for being bald would be different
@@AmyA-bg1bs no it didnt, gyatso canon killed elit firebenders, like in the og. Theres 15 elite firebenders dead around him and super decomposed more than gyatso. Atla is good but korra is also a good sequel, open ur heart and mind to it. Only characterisation i hate is of toph becoming a cop because it doesnt fit her lore and character, but eventually when she got older she went back to her og but kuvira redemprion arc was horrible cuz shes literally earth sozin although that point was cuz it was a tv trend to anti hero-fy villains and to reference zuko but done w/o the actual redemption.
Katara and Aang have more expression in these interviews than their characters do on screen. This tells me the writers for the script and such held us back and that these are in fact the right people for the role
Their current interviews and their acting can’t really be compared because now they are older and would have improved compared to when they first acted in the show
This is what we need in the actual show. The actors clearly have great comedic and emotional chemistry, but that hasn't shone through as much as I would like.
Yes I mean let it have comedy feel. Yes sure have serious moments but never suppose be that serious but then again they have director is one made dark version of Sabrina.
"Does Zuko like Katara in Avatar?" Kiawentiio: *Throws the question away* Producer: "Is that a no?" Dallas: "It's not a no but it's also not a yes" Me in my mind: "So is it a maybe? cause idk"
Well they didn’t mind talking about original plot points that would be spoilers, so if they weren’t doing Zutara like the first show did wouldn’t they just say it? Idk maybe I just want Zutara too bad
their body language and the awkwardness says it all ... and then Ian's thumb's up after the question is asked. And then Gordon rolling his eyes when Dallas said " its not a no, but its not a yes'"

If you want proof: her fire wasn’t blue in the episode ‘Zuko Alone’, when her mother was still around… 😉
Kiawentiio knowing the story of Zuko's mom by the reading the comics is so Katara-coded. Also, at 7:34 - "What's the meaning of the name Katara"? Dallas: "It means girlboss." He's so funny 😭 I mean, he didn't lie. 🤷

I really feel like the show purposefully avoided Kataang in the first season, and now Kiawentiio mentiones Katara's and Aang's relationship is more like siblings. After being asked about Zutara, they completely avoided the question, as if they were trying not to spoil something. I might be dlulu, but please let me be delulu. XDD
I am a full grown adult woman who used to babysit a kid that watched the cartoon back in the early 2000s and 2010s when I was in highschool and college. I absolutely love this remake. And I am truly anxious for the second season to hurry up and come out! You guys are a fantastic cast. Well done. Your costumes are amazing too.
i can see why zuko was casted here, its just him bald looked a bit strange thats all. Sokka was best casted hands-down along with Aang (pretty dificult to replicate imo).
The classic Zuko haircut was never gonna make sense visually in live action, yet they had to do it because its very iconic for that part of the characters journey. Can't wait to see him grow it out as the story goes on, he has great hair in the flashbacks and these interviews XD
@@TheLinessCompanythis was filmed in 2021-22, when Katara's actress was 15, she looks alot like Katara now. They really missed the mark with Azula though, even the woman who played June looked more like Azula and she's an adult💀
Yeah why did they make katara so light in the live action lmao, I dont have a problem with it but they could've had someone who was her actual skin complexion
9:23 When was the first Avatar incarnated? Well, the first Avatar was Avatar Wan, and I don’t know much about how it was created, but it says about him in TLOK (The Legend of Korra)
The Comics after ATLA ( as far ) : The Promise , The Quest , The Rift , Smoke and Shadow , North and South and Imbalance , Zuko and Azula's mom you can see reading the comic The Quest
4:09 Bending is partly genetic, partly energy. We saw in Korra how non-benders suddenly became Airbenders after the Convergence happened ATLA set the precedent. In ATLA, the Lion Turtle gave Aang the energybending. In Korra, we were shown that Lion Turtles gave humans the Bending powers. Bending was not always genetic, but it became genetic.
@@DefyThemAll Not sure, because ATLA set the precedent. In ATLA, the Lion Turtle gave Aang the energybending. In Korra, we were shown that Lion Turtles gave humans the Bending powers. Bending was not always genetic, but it became genetic.
I'm really happy to hear them talk about the OG show, Legend of Korra, and all of the other expanded material! They really know their stuff and that's really awesome!
I love that Gordon referenced 'The Avatarist'. That's so cool. I've been watching him for a while cuz I love the ATLA universe and will watch other people talk about forever. So seeing the actor playing Aang watching the same stuff and geeking out about it is a really cool feeling.
100%. I feel like they robbed her and gave a lot of her lines to Sokka. There were times when I was watching that I thought Ian read too much of the script and started saying her lines.
it migh just be me but i think in the show the relationship between katara and aang is only going to be like family bc Kiawentiio said in 3:14 that in there show its like a family relationship just like in season 1
LOL, but seriously, when you have that strong of a bond, so much more can grow. People forget family is more than just the people you're related to. A true love starts off as a true love for a person, caring about them, and wanting the best for them, so Kiawentiio's answer wasn't necessarily wrong, it just wasn't all there was to the story, but they said it's just season 1. They want old fans and new fans to be able to enjoy the live action, so that's why they're taking their time and not trying to reveal too much.
Love how Kiawentiio mentioned Aang and katara relationship being it subtle before it was season3 romance and also how she immediately threw the card back when the Zutara ship came up and she didn’t want to answer it UNTIL Dallas said something about it lol
@@AmyA-bg1bs they didn’t get shy, Kiawentiio wasn’t comfortable talking about it as her silence said it all for a good few minutes before like I said Dallas spoke up and she had to say something as well.
This cast is so likeable and charismatic, it's insane! They all have amazing chemistry as well. Every interview of them I've seen are all highly entertaining. And you can tell they all really love Avatar and are really big fans. ❤
I LOVE how lil Gordon has 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 Aang. referring to Aang in the first person & stuff.. I definitely feel like he’s Aang in the fire nation arc with a buzzcut lol. As the days pass, I grow more comfortable with these live-adaptation versions of my favourite characters, off my favourite anime.
The Last Airbender is certainly inspired by a lot of Asian culture, only Japanese created animation is actually defined as Anime, so I’m afraid it isn’t as although rude the previous response is correct, it is American made.
Hmm well Kyoshi did end up with a ability to become immortal some part of me thinks this is also related to how Aang stayed 12 for 100 years it would make sense that a part of Kyoshis skills in the avatar state is what kept him like this
@hambaallah5586 you would be too if your favorite show gets mixed up with that movie A LOT. " DUDE I SAW AVATAR! IT IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER!" "Cool how was it?" It had Blue people"
Written in Chinese, Aang means "peaceful soaring." Considering that Aang was an Air Nomad and heavily believed in non-violence, his name's meaning was quite apt. Meanwhile, Katara and Sokka's names mean "wanting hope" and "I understand", respectively, in Japanese.
no its not, its pronounced kah-tah-rah and soe-kka. I don't speak chinese but the way we pronounce aang also doesnt seem like a chinese pronounciation. I've been studying japanese for like 12 years now (since I was 8) And I've never heard of the word katara used to want hope. Do you know the kanji is used for katara meaning hope? the closest I can think of is 期待 but that is kitai@@jjminn95
Yea he seems a bit too cocky for a kid that can’t really act. Hopefully it’s just a phase. And hopefully he gets better at acting, he way way way over acts and he’s not believable in anything he says on the show.

I am a full grown adult woman who used to babysit a kid that watched the cartoon back in the early 2000s and 2010s when I was in highschool and college. I absolutely love this remake. And I am truly anxious for the second season to hurry up and come out! You guys are a fantastic cast. Well done. Your costumes are amazing too.
This is why I dream of being an actor so I can make new friends and joke around but also do what I love 💗
i can see why zuko was casted here, its just him bald looked a bit strange thats all. Sokka was best casted hands-down along with Aang (pretty dificult to replicate imo).
Ye absolute, Azulas and Kataras actresses just don't meet expectations.
@@TheLinessCompanyazulas actress especially was awful she seemed like a spoilt brat nothing more
The classic Zuko haircut was never gonna make sense visually in live action, yet they had to do it because its very iconic for that part of the characters journey. Can't wait to see him grow it out as the story goes on, he has great hair in the flashbacks and these interviews XD
@@TheLinessCompanythis was filmed in 2021-22, when Katara's actress was 15, she looks alot like Katara now. They really missed the mark with Azula though, even the woman who played June looked more like Azula and she's an adult💀
Yeah why did they make katara so light in the live action lmao, I dont have a problem with it but they could've had someone who was her actual skin complexion
7:20 got me dead bro
gordon: “like blue people? No” *throws card*
I just realised it's Water siblings on left and Fire siblings on right and there's Aang in between them.
4:05
Zaheer learned to air bend and he wasn’t an airbender
9:23 When was the first Avatar incarnated?
Well, the first Avatar was Avatar Wan, and I don’t know much about how it was created, but it says about him in TLOK (The Legend of Korra)
4:35 is no-one gonna talk about how he air-bended that card away?
The Comics after ATLA ( as far ) : The Promise , The Quest , The Rift , Smoke and Shadow , North and South and Imbalance , Zuko and Azula's mom you can see reading the comic The Quest
you mean "The Search"
What about Azula in the Spirit world ?
@ronnies732 technically a graphic novel and it's the latest in the timeline
@@echoless3474 Oh I loved it!
@@ronnies732 same I have it next to my bed
9:43 lol it's funny cause Dallas says "our dad" as in I'm Zuko you are Azula there's anything else 😅
"Like the Blue people!? NO!" *card proceeds to fly away* 😂😂😂LOL
That energy among them is beautiful 😊
Kiawentiio is DEFINITELY a huge fan of the OG
4:09 Bending is partly genetic, partly energy. We saw in Korra how non-benders suddenly became Airbenders after the Convergence happened
ATLA set the precedent. In ATLA, the Lion Turtle gave Aang the energybending. In Korra, we were shown that Lion Turtles gave humans the Bending powers. Bending was not always genetic, but it became genetic.
Bc Korra rules are all dumb
@@DefyThemAll Not sure, because ATLA set the precedent. In ATLA, the Lion Turtle gave Aang the energybending. In Korra, we were shown that Lion Turtles gave humans the Bending powers. Bending was not always genetic, but it became genetic.
lol no you're the dumb one
I'm really happy to hear them talk about the OG show, Legend of Korra, and all of the other expanded material! They really know their stuff and that's really awesome!
4:15 but zaheer
I love that Gordon referenced 'The Avatarist'. That's so cool. I've been watching him for a while cuz I love the ATLA universe and will watch other people talk about forever. So seeing the actor playing Aang watching the same stuff and geeking out about it is a really cool feeling.
Oh I love that Kiawentiio read the graphic novels. The Search was indeed a good read!
I think Kiawentiio is more Katara irl than in the series 😭
100%. I feel like they robbed her and gave a lot of her lines to Sokka. There were times when I was watching that I thought Ian read too much of the script and started saying her lines.
We actually need a part 2 of this 😂😂😂❤❤❤
it migh just be me but i think in the show the relationship between katara and aang is only going to be like family bc Kiawentiio said in 3:14 that in there show its like a family relationship just like in season 1
3:20 Gordon's reaction to getting called "family" by Katara == Aang's
I want to see Gordon's Aang get momo-zoned by Katara like he was in the cartoon.
LOL, but seriously, when you have that strong of a bond, so much more can grow. People forget family is more than just the people you're related to. A true love starts off as a true love for a person, caring about them, and wanting the best for them, so Kiawentiio's answer wasn't necessarily wrong, it just wasn't all there was to the story, but they said it's just season 1. They want old fans and new fans to be able to enjoy the live action, so that's why they're taking their time and not trying to reveal too much.
@@animalfinatic9366ouch, hope you are right. I want to hear "You are my forever baby girl" aaabd swoon 😄
@@ronnies732 there's nothing to hope, if you've seen the show, you'd know. It's an adaptation that keeps the Spirit of avatar
@@animalfinatic9366 well i have seen both and og and adaption so I don't really understand how to react
There is either they are doing or they're not
Love how Kiawentiio mentioned Aang and katara relationship being it subtle before it was season3 romance and also how she immediately threw the card back when the Zutara ship came up and she didn’t want to answer it UNTIL Dallas said something about it lol
Yeah I loved the subtle Zutara too! They both got so shy!
@@AmyA-bg1bszutara fans coping is so hilarious
It's pretty obvious that she hates Zutara if you've seen her other interviews lol
@@AmyA-bg1bs they didn’t get shy, Kiawentiio wasn’t comfortable talking about it as her silence said it all for a good few minutes before like I said Dallas spoke up and she had to say something as well.
@@AmyA-bg1bs Seemed more like she was annoyed
Kiawentiio knows her stuff, dang
4:01 Sozin is Zuko and Azula’s great grandfather. Roku was Sozin’s best friend
They’re so funny bro I think this is my favorite cast 😂
I gotta say katara really done her homework 😅
She grew up with ATLA and was a pretty big fan before getting casted
In character 😂
This cast is so likeable and charismatic, it's insane! They all have amazing chemistry as well. Every interview of them I've seen are all highly entertaining. And you can tell they all really love Avatar and are really big fans. ❤
They look just like the characters. Which is scary 😄
I LOVE how lil Gordon has 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 Aang. referring to Aang in the first person & stuff.. I definitely feel like he’s Aang in the fire nation arc with a buzzcut lol. As the days pass, I grow more comfortable with these live-adaptation versions of my favourite characters, off my favourite anime.
Bro its 2024 and you still thinking this is a anime.🙄its cartoon.Made in america.
The Last Airbender is certainly inspired by a lot of Asian culture, only Japanese created animation is actually defined as Anime, so I’m afraid it isn’t as although rude the previous response is correct, it is American made.
@@sinan_aliMeanwhile Japanese people refer to all animation, even American, as anime, and there aren't snobs among them to correct them
@@gokulhemanthkumar4556 💟
@@gokulhemanthkumar4556 still not an anime.
Hmm well Kyoshi did end up with a ability to become immortal some part of me thinks this is also related to how Aang stayed 12 for 100 years it would make sense that a part of Kyoshis skills in the avatar state is what kept him like this
4:15 , once i literally had a dream that sokka was leaf-bending
his answer to "avatar blue people " lmao
ikr, dallas even flinched 🤣🤣🤣
I know right? Gordon looks angry
@hambaallah5586 you would be too if your favorite show gets mixed up with that movie A LOT.
" DUDE I SAW AVATAR! IT IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER!" "Cool how was it?" It had Blue people"
Kiawentiio is a GIGA FAN, even the comics! Thats crazy, she deserves her role! i hope she speaks up about kataras character for season 2
Best line delivering in the live action goes to... "HE RAN! greatest warrior on earth and he RAN"
I’ve got so much respect for Kataras actress actually mentioning the lore in the show
BRO!!!!!! Katara really said Korra was the first metal bender when it was Toph 😭😭😭7:40
Note: didnt realize they said avatar after. WE ALL GOOD!
Kiawentiio is slaying tbh 💁

Written in Chinese, Aang means "peaceful soaring." Considering that Aang was an Air Nomad and heavily believed in non-violence, his name's meaning was quite apt. Meanwhile, Katara and Sokka's names mean "wanting hope" and "I understand", respectively, in Japanese.
Is it pronounced the same in Japanese?
no its not, its pronounced kah-tah-rah and soe-kka. I don't speak chinese but the way we pronounce aang also doesnt seem like a chinese pronounciation. I've been studying japanese for like 12 years now (since I was 8) And I've never heard of the word katara used to want hope. Do you know the kanji is used for katara meaning hope? the closest I can think of is 期待 but that is kitai@@jjminn95

Gordon IS INDEED the perfect Aang

Yea he seems a bit too cocky for a kid that can’t really act. Hopefully it’s just a phase. And hopefully he gets better at acting, he way way way over acts and he’s not believable in anything he says on the show.
@@chrissioufi925There are lots of moments in the original series where Aang does a lot of showing off though😂
@@xanogrande1224true but it didn't come off as cocky. You can argue it is but it was playful. Gordon doesn't come off that way. It's just cocky
