    That title is nuts and I love it. You really know how to get our attention. A shame some people can't take a joke. I personally think this show is great. It may not top the cartoon, but it's got plenty to enjoy. Also, Iroh is still the best character.

In this new one she just kinda takes some advice from aang and is dissapointed in herself for not being able to do it, but in the original she literally yelled at him a few times bc she was jealous of his talent.

    So after watching episode 1 for myself… the fact that they made the invasion the same night Aang left takes away from people thinking he ran away.
    Remember the public knew Aang ran and escaped his responsibility as the Avatar. If the invasion happened the same night, people would just assume he was among the first to die. Other gurus would assume he went into the Avatar state and died thus cutting off the life cycle.
    It reduces Aang’s guilt and sense of forced responsibility if all this happened in one day.

    if I had a complain, it's the writing. there is a bit to much "tell, don't show", like the scene with Aang and Appa where Aang explicitly tells the audience exactly how he feels, because that is totally what a confused 12 year old does, right? his acting and delivery wasn't great either, but I can give that a pass since he is just a child actor.
    I'm also not quite sure how I feel about frontloading the entire start of the war. sure, it doesn't really matter to those who watched the animated series, but I think for the non-initiated it might be better to leave things in the dark and slowly uncover the past over the course of the series.

So each form is from a different universe. The issue with this is, outside of the pacing, line direction and in turn the dialogue conveyed. These live actions are really just about using IP that have automatic audience and start out following the same storyline, to appease the core audience. Then turn around and make most every character and core system(in this case bending) into something that strays far from how their portrayal. Which they don't even do well, as I previously stated.

    It's like a 6/10 for me so far. I had to take a break after episode 4, so maybe it gets better idk. The visuals are killer, but they made so many weird decisions with the story and tone. Why did they make it so unbelievably depressing? Why are the character personalities so muted? Why did Katara moving a boat break Aang out of the iceberg? Why do they split up the gang so much? Why does Aang avoid his glider like the plague? Also, why the hell are the mechanist and Teo in Omashu instead of the Northern Air Temple? Also, why were Jet and the freedom fighters in Omashu as well? They neutered the entire Bumi reveal and there were no stakes since Katara and Sokka were on their side plot B/C grind instead of being held hostage. Don't even get me started on the exposition dumps.
    I genuinely don't understand how they managed to make Book 1 feel rushed at about the same run time as the cartoon. Book 1 has 20 episodes, ~23 minutes each, equating to about 7.66 hours of content. This series has 8 episodes at an hour each. It almost feels like they're trying to speed-run the series every episode. The cartoon was a kid's show with adult elements, this is not that. Is this iteration of Aang even capable of having fun? Go watch episode 1 of the cartoon again and compare it to this. The entire tone of the series doesn't even feel remotely similar. I can see why the creators of the show left.

      Glad to know there are folks out there that have been keeping up to date with ridiculous changes they made to this already great series. Whom CLEARLY didn't watch the series. Or rather did, but took away the parts that complimented the original story and instead took them out and change because they feel that those elements wont fit right with how they feel it should be for "MODERN AUDIENCES" and find ways to fit in THE MESSAGE into this adaptation. Witch is why i'll never give this adaptation my viewing pleasure. For god sakes, Maya and the THREE was only nine episodes long and that show managed so much more telling and less telling the most movies and shows these days.

I think I heard that you need to have written a decent amount of the script to be credited as a writer for an episode, like a third or something like that, which would mean that the original creators did at least 2/3 of the script of this first episode.

  • @Akaeus
    @Akaeus 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I swear people have no concept of how wildly different the method of media used to tell the story: live action of eight 40+min episodes that's released as a whole VS a cartoon of 20 episodes of 20+ mins each released weekly. Two very different methods that require unique methods of execution. Also people forget how exposition heavy the cartoon actually was and how the cartoon hinted and implied a lot of heavy concepts for a kids show, but couldn't actually show or explain them in the detail required to flesh them out because it was precisely made for a kids network television company.
    The show is streamlining the themes, events while explicitly delving into the ideas that the cartoon only elaborated on in vague and unexplicot ways. Again because it was made for 16 and younger kids, not 12 year old to older people which this show is rated for. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS.
    The actor who plays Iroh had the right idea when he said that it is not a copy, nor a remake, but a REMIX because he understood the medium of the story (form of media used) is inherent to its method of portrayal.
    Again people wildly overestimate the cartoons handling of the more mature concepts - the fact they were even alluded to or just plainly part of the narrative was enough to warrant the fact it effectively delves into those things because ot was for kids explicitly and how it had to exposition dump in different ways because it was for children. The nostalgia simping and hindsight 20/20 musings of the show that everyone has had for 20+ years is blinding everyone to the extremely creative adaptation.
    It is not as good as the cartoon, but it isn't wholly trash TV. If we, as geeks and nerds, can mostly agree that the Revenge of the Sith is a masterpiece despite its obvious flaws in dialogue and story telling, then we can at least try to appreciate the live action adaptation of our beloved ATLA. The cast and crew obviously have love for the original work. That being said, it could have been another Witcher fiasco. The showrunners had no love fpr the source material. The makers of NATLA simply do not have that same contempt for their own source material.

But when you have the original source material right there, right in front of you and decide to change it... thats where we have a problem. Sure add things and change some tiny stuff but not big things. Even though it was a nice adaptation.. its not the best.

  • @mythicdolphin
    @mythicdolphin 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    Watched all 8 Episodes. My score for the series is a 9/10 across the board. Definitely recommend, will be showing and watching with my 8yr old daughter once she is home from school on Friday and over the weekend.
    1) The air nomad deaths are shown, so to adults, watch first 20 minutes before kids. Otherwise kids can watch once Aang is in ice.
    2) This is not a copy of the original. 8 Live action episodes to tell story of 20 cartoon episodes. Episode 6 of original cartoon looks like it will be in season 2 of the live action. Season 2 episode 2 of original cartoon is added into season 1, instead of episode 6.
    3) The first episode is the first 3 episodes together with the deaths of the air nomads.
    4) Original cartoon Episodes 4, 5, 7-10, 12, 13, 15, and 17 have their essential episode essence represented, in episodes 2 through 6 of the live action. A lot of things are re-ordered. Some things are expanded. You will see parts of things from a recognizable episode mashed with events from other episodes.
    5) Watch the entire thing BEFORE judging. Sometimes you will think something was forgotten only to learn, that the other parts or viewpoints of a given episode are in a follow-up episode. The way the episodes are mashed together means the story jumps between events of various episodes, so the representation of one episode might occur across 2 or 3 episodes; or there may be an intervening episode.
    6) Do Not PreJudge. The format is different than the original cartoon, initially the order will seem odd. Just hang in with it, overall it does work.
    7) Episodes 11, and 14 are not shown, but pay attention anytime Zuko, Iroh, or Zhou get a report. The events of those episodes are mentioned but it’s a one time blink, or talk and you will miss it. These episodes have indirect representation in the series. The honorable mentions in the reports made me laugh while watching.
    8) The Jeong Jeong part of Episode 16 might occur in season 2, or 3 without Zhou. Jeong Jeong is not in season 1 of this live action. He has not been cast yet.
    9) The last 2 episodes of the Netflix Live action have been mashed together, the mashup reorders the events of original cartoon episodes 18-20. The Katara vs Paku fight is Wow!
    10) Koh will appear far earlier than expected. and not when or how fans expect. He is still a creepy, freaky, and dangerous spirit. They expand Koh’s role to include some of the lore with him from the comics as well. He is voiced by George Takei (Sulu from 1966 Star Trek).
    11) The original voice actor of the cabbage man, plays and is, the cabbage man in this Netflix live Action series!!
    12) The previous 3 avatars and ocean spirit La, at points will be given permission by Aang to use him as a channel. Kyoshi is obvious. Many people apparently missed when Roku did so. Pay attention, do not miss it by talking or by being distracted by what Roku is showing and teaching Aang. Kurik will refuse. La’s turn is OBVIOUS.
    13) Azula’s machinations are definitely as evil as Ozai’s. Yes Azula learns lightning bending before the end of season 1. She is far darker than the original cartoon.

He was in disbelief because his expectations were shattered that the most wanted person in all the Fire Nation was a bald twelve-year-old found in a block of ice.

While Sokka and Katara are in the secret tunnels, Aang is still hanging out with Bumi. None of this makes sense.

    Okay, I wanna start by saying this episode (as someone who's seen four of them) is a 7/10. Definitely not as bad as the M. Night adaptation, but certainly not to the great three episodes it's trying to adapt.
    My problem with this episode specifically lie in the impact of Aang as the Avatar. Korra's lore firmly established only two Airbender's could "fly". The Guru who's name I will not attempt spelling, and Zaheer, letting go of both their earthly attachments. Aang very clearly still has earthly attachments, so wtf is that. Other than that, when they go back to the Temple to see the genocide's effects, the way it's literally the last five minutes feels so disrespectful, because I felt more when I had less time with Gyatso, mainly cuz Aang was in full on denial in the show, meanwhile Gran-Gran the exposition dumpster literally told him he was the last one, so when he just snaps into the Avatar State and without the emotional weight of Katara calming down, it feels completely hollow.
    Anyways, the bending effects are awesome, the intro will never match the original's, and the actors are perfect for the most part

    I don't think it quite lives up to the cartoon but I never really expected it to.
    I was worried when I saw the reviews but after watching the whole show myself I can't see it as anything other than nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.
    It was never going to be 1 to 1, it was always going to mix some episodes/story bits, I think they did an amazing job translating this to Live Action while keeping the spirit of it alive.

    First off, not an anime. Second off, not true. I really enjoy the new show, but u still think the old one is overall better.

    I just finished the series. The animated series is a 10/10 for me and is the standard I judge all tv series on. This is 8/10 for me. Some changes worked, some I didn’t like.
