Koh would've stolen his face already. This spirit steals your face the moment you show any hint of emotion. The worst part is it tries to scare you. This Aang would've been faceless by now
Avatar state can stop koh
@@endofaneraoutnow3473 Aang can't fully control Avatar state yet along with mastering the other elements. Koh is still a powerful spirit. It can still kill Aang, and if he die in Avatar state, the cycle ends.
It's almost like adaptations aren't 1 to 1 replicas and will make changes.
@@RJLiams I'm fine with it, but not staying true to its source material is not okay. If they remove something that is key to that character, and didn't replace it with something cool or good, it's basically just a downgrade.
@@beansguy2479
Then you would hate every single piece of adaptation to ever exist. As no adaptations sticks to the source material 100%. You think the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings movies didn't remove major character moments to tell a better story in the film format? Do you think the One Piece adaptation is even close to the manga or anime?
It's seems more like you're upset it isn't the actual cartoon. In which case why not just watch the cartoon?
Aang: 🤣🗣️🤣🗣️😞🤣😵💫🤤😵💫😳😡🤨😏🤢🥶😈😱🤦♂️
Koh: this child is stoic and emotionless, I can’t steal his face
Omg made my day.
that's the thing that ticked me off my favorite part of that scene is his thug stoner face he pulls the whole ordeal
No matter what... Koh will always be frightning... and creepy. To think that he preys on those who are lost in the Fog of Lost Souls... And the changing of the faces... it is as I imagined. Nice touch in making him speak using the person's voice, instead of keeping his own. Altough it probably would make him sound even creepier if he kept the same voice. And I like that he has history with other Avatars besides Kuruk.
Maybe if his actual voice sort of underlined that of the face’s voice? Like he speaks with their voice, but you can hear his real one more quietly in it’s background whispering the same words in a way? I think that would work well, and be even more chilling.
He was creepy but Aang showed emotion with his face
If anybody show any emotion of define stealing spirit he was still anybody’s face.
Because of this live action, Koh the face Stealer relied on his mist powers to reel in his victims so he could eat them and take their face. The animated version showcases that Koh only steals any wandering spirit face when showed emotions.
@@puuurrrrrfect2831 that’s stupid to change him and why didn’t he take Katara and Sokka face
Cartoon Koh was so scary he got the audience to not show any emotion along with Aang. Sad to see him reduced to generic monster in the live action instead of being an ancient spirit holding vital info.
@@marvinnovilla4918
Not to mention d\the live action version of Koh isn’t that scary enough and George Takei doing his voice it doesn’t really match the character.
No offense Mr. George Takei
tbh its scarier in the cartoon. also aang showed way to much emotion. which is literally what you shouldnt do if you face him. so yeah that was straight bad
Disagree it’s scarier here than when I was a kid so it’s really not bad it’s subjective people like to hate the live action because it has slight differences, I’m not really understanding the complaints, I love the cartoon that’s my childhood I seen it a billion times, but I really like this series as well, finally a live adaptation done right and isn’t an abomination regardless people are always gonna find reasons to complain about something
@@shadowthaartist well maybe it's perception then. I wasn't scared of that thing at all idk. I'm not trying to hate on it. It's just aang showed too many emotions in the live action which you're actually trying to avoid facing koh lol
@@shadowthaartist one thing I have to disagree is "adaption done right". If we're just looking at the live action without comparing. It's bland. Dialogues are bad. Characters aren't bonding and suddenly they're besties? Like nah it's too rushed. Aang and everyone is too serious, he's not acting like a twelve year old as he should. Also everything is explained like bruh it's just Exposition the whole first season. The only great thing about the series so far are the fights.
@@by_Jamiewhats the point of this series if it was copied by the animated ATLA 1:1? Of course theres gonna be changes to some plots, otherwise many people already knew even more of the plot than we already do
@@w.b.727 exactly, there is no point in this existing
I was a bit annoyed they didn't explain Koh more. In the original series, he actually provided help to Aang, but would not have hesitated to steal his face given the opportunity. In this show, he's more vengeful
Wouldn’t you want revenge against someone who tried to kill you even if it’s their reincarnation?
I want og Koh ASMR NOW!!!
Writes clearly had a problem with handling complex characters. It’s all over the show
The OG show portrays him as a lawful neutral. He steals your face if you show emotion, but otherwise sees no harm in helping.
The live action Koh seems to feed not on just any emotion, but despair, therefore making him much more sinister
@axelnilsson5124 in the OG show koh says "why woukd I care about what you did in a past life? Your a new person now". Koh doesn't care that aang is the avatar, all koh cares about is that he has a new face
They animated him really well, but the voice and Aang's "fear" just dont do it for me.
There's no reason for Koh to even say "Someone who can resist?" because in the animated series, he's very implied to not give a crap if Aang tries to be serious or not. He actually gets eager and goes "it's been a long time since i've added a child's face to my collection".
He does not show surprise, instead he has smooth, threatening words, and is capable of snapping to express pure anger with ease. He was much less predictable, but this version of him is more stale and doesn't use a voice range to show off his emotions.
He LOOKS scary, but his acting needs work.
Also Aang actually runs away?? In the OG, Aang has a brief moment where he breaks character when Koh isnt looking at him, because he's excited about learning the koi fish are the secret to saving the Northern Watertribe, and Koh INSTANTLY tries to take advantage of it before Aang is quick to keep his composure.
It's very tense, very spooky, very risky. It makes it feel like ONE mistake can be the end of Aang's life. But in this version, Aang actually shows emotion and gets SCARED. It doesn't make sense.
Also what even IS the point of Aang meeting him if he doesnt reveal the information about the koi fish in the first place?! Completely useless screentime, you might as well have kept him out just like the terrible movie did!
Seems most of your criticism is just, "it's not like the cartoon." Which is a really silly argument. If all you wanted was the cartoon again then go watch the cartoon.
Example, "But in this version, Aang actually shows emotion and gets SCARED. It doesn't make sense." Probably because how this Koh hunts isn't the same as the cartoon. It's clear that this Koh doesn't use emotion to catch it's prey. It uses the mist to trap people. Yet, you're trying to argue that this Koh follows the same logic to the cartoon.
@@RJLiams nothing about it being a live adaptation means it has to be different from the original nor should it be expected that there will be big differences compared to the original, some fine nuanced differences here & there such as extra details or scenes, sure, big core changes to the plot or characters, not very cool, it is called Avatar the Last Airbender & not something else, aka thats exactly what we would expect, a show that actually lives up to its name, not a show that makes changes when none were asked that aren't even good changes imo. There is a reason Brian & Michael walked away from this series, whatever differences the director of this show wanted to implement, adapting the original creator's vision should have been #1 priority.
@@RJLiams The entire point of Aang not showing emotion made the scene even MORE scary though.
The fact that one error in emotion can literally kill him added a layer of danger to the encounter the Netflix one doesnt give.
But I could probably brush that off if Koh actually had PURPOSE in this scene.
There's no reason for Aang to even meet him except for the fear aspect, because Koh doesn't even tell him about the koi fish, which is the entire reason Aang went to see him in the first place.
By removing that crucial detail, it ultimately makes Koh's character pointless for anything except to be a frightening face we see one time and never again.
He only shows up ONCE and they couldnt even do it properly. And there's nothing wrong with wanting a live action adaptation to respect the original material, because people LOVED Avatar for a reason. And Netflix does not seem to understand that reason.
@@RJLiams No definitely not the same criticism, they're pointing out the reasons it was there in the original, what made it incredible, and I can go on about why it would be even MORE powerful in this version. Live action is so good when it comes to creating tension so the way the original scene was structured should only made this version superior but, things were changed for the worse and it's difficult to see why, so it's frustrating. Change is absolutely necessary in adaptations but here it feels more like a huge missed opportunity to play to live-action's strengths.
Here, giving Koh the more rough and almost-monstrous voice instead of the calm and silky one Koh had before also seems like a downgrade; there was a beautiful dichotomy between Koh's body and Koh's voice, and the sweet voice also had great contrast opportunity for when Koh yells at Aang to, again, try and scare Aang into showing emotion.
I love the original but there's so many little aspects that can get kicked to the curve, but this scene wasn't one of them. I'm glad they at least kept the character even if Koh was downgraded, cause it was even more baffling to me that horror-legend M. Night removed the horror-character entirely from his version.
And the fact that aang is a monk, he's no ordinary child. Meditation and composure is his daily teaching
His face would be stolen the moment he showed up. He's showing too much emotion in this scene. I don't know how you can f*ck this up so badly.
In the Netflix Adaptation, Kou doesn't steal your face by showing emotion directly, he does so by trapping you in an illusion of your most emotional moments in your life. If you fall for this illusion, you become trapped in Kou's lair and your face is lost forever. Aang had enough will to resist Kou's illusion, but Katara and Sokka could not. So Kou held them hostage until the Avatar returned what he stole from Kou in a previous life. It is implied that Kuruk wanted vengeance for having his loved one's face stolen. And Roku fulfilled that by stealing a possession that belonged to Kou's mother as leverage. That is why Kou let his hostages free after Aang returned the totem.
@@commanderbacara225 well that's a lot of unnecessary stuff for a character that show up for like 15 minutes on screen.
With the original team of the original cartoon leaving the project it's no surprise
@@linthitmyo8969i mean it’s an (un)welcome change, you don’t always have to be 1:1 with the original show
Koh is much less playful here. Now he's just a horror monster, while in the show he was an actual spirit with personality and stuff.
He looks pretty great though
I get what you’re saying but it is live action and there trying to make him a bit more scary.
@@themomathondiaries6689in the original it was scary because there’s a tension and rule, Aang have to constantly be emotionless while asking for help, but here it’s just generically facing a monster it isn’t as scary in a narrative way
@@madtitan0825 agreed 👍.
@@themomathondiaries6689 I don’t hate this adaptation but there’s still a lot they can improve upon or else it just felt like why don’t I just watch the original, they need to do changes that actually distant themselves from being a copy while being respectful, for example the opening with the fire nation attacking air temple, that’s a great addition in the show
@@madtitan0825 I get what you’re saying but if you were to change to much of the show fans would be mad.
0:26 is really good for a wallpaper
Koh’s main face looks like it has been done in motion capture, a mixture of animation and live action that was done for Gollum, Smaug, Thanos, Hulk, King Kong, Disney character Davy Jones, Dobby the House Elf, Lord Voldemort, and the Jurassic World Velociraptors.
Koh in the original seires creeped me out and put me in a lot of pressure, but the new one just creeps me out - he looks so good tho
In the first one, you immediately get the feeling that Aang can't beat this guy in a fight so there is that sense of dread, this one seems maybe a bit too friendly. Like he was just testing Aang
Wow, a face stealer with only three faces. 🙄 He blinked a lot more in the animated series
They really did Koh dirty in this adaptation. Koh isn't just some mindless predator with mommy issues (technically he does have the issues with mommy, but that's beside the point lol). He's not just some evil creature that's "gonna get ya!", but an ancient spirit. Cordial and willing to talk, because that's how he steals your face... getting you to show emotion.
Quite honestly, as much as I was looking forward to the live action series, I was equally disappointed at all the needless changes, and can see why the writers of the cartoon walked out of it. This version just seems too Hollywood. Looks pretty, but favours style over substance.
At least it’s something different if it was just like the original series without any difference it’d be boring
@@axelnilsson5124 I disagree. It can still be changed, in the sense of the wording and the jumpscares and such... but changing a character's personality and motivation is just as bad as when they change the character's race or gender JUST to meet a inclusivity quota.
Koh is meant to be more psychologically scary, rather than all "BOO! Ha! Got your face!". He's meant to be that eldritch horror that creeps into the back of your mind and sticks there, even long after he's gone. Calm, and even seemingly friendly, but a being you always have to be most careful around.
They took all that away from him. They could've replaced him with a giant spider that talks, and not mentioned him at all, and it would've been exactly the same. Hell, they changed his role entirely! He was supposed to be so old that only he still knew who Tui and La were, and thus a reason why Aang would have to meet such an ancient evil... but now he's taken on Hei Bai's role (even though Hei Bai was in the series, and looked AMAZING)
@@BYERElook dude not everything is going to be the same as the cartoon and sometimes you got to just deal with the change of you don’t like it go to the cartoon
@@ImanLong I do go back to the cartoon. I love that version, and wish we'd seen more of Koh in it, or in Korra.
I just love that they got Erik Todd Dellums to return to voice Aaravos in The Dragon Prince.
Honestly why are people giving it so much attention? I’m watching the original rn and still know better not to watch this shit
I know why he dosn't move a lot, but it is a bit sad. In the Cartoon he moves around Aang, like a Predator his pray, and he "strikes" multiple times. It makes him feel morw dangerous. The non moving model is still good, it's creepy how he just stares. Not moving. Waiting to jump on you or not. But it feels like its missing Something.
maybe if his body was shifting while his face stayed put
@@hya2in8 Oh, Thats a cool Idea!
He steals your face when you show emotion. When confronting Koh, you need a flat face. Don’t show any emotion or he steals your face.
Aang didn't meet Koh in Omashu he met him at The Northern Water Tribe when he was captured by Zuko! And Gyatso never appeared in the Spirit World! And Roku never stole anything!
It's. An. Adaption.
Like holy shit, watch the animated series if you want the exact same story. I'm so beyond tired of morons like you thinking an adaption is a 1:1 recreation.
@@higglybiggly1174a shitty adaptation, stop meat riding mediocre content
And Aang wouldve had his face stolen
And this isn’t a picture of picture adaption. What is your point bro.
@@TheojoshuaBakeri think they’re implying that it’s not accurate and for those who watched the original series it can be triggering since it’s different from what they know
The bit of Koh not being able to steal faces is a bit when people make expressions in front of him is a bit disappointing, but everything else with him in this series was good. The CGI and the voice are really good and creepy.
I liked his sweet and silky voice from the original, was a cool contrast from his body whereas here the rough voice just isn't as interesting. Kind of a downgrade and feels more typical
@@Shamanized You got a point there. The CGI is still good though and Koh is still menacing.
The CG is alright, but koh hardly moves at all
They completely missed the entire purpose of Koh. Roku sent Aang to Koh to find the moon n water spirits. What purpose did he serve here? Bland and uninspired story telling
Basically, Koh took the place of Hei Bai in kidnapping villagers as well as Sokka with another change in kidnapping Katara. Instead of Avatar Roku telling Aang to speak with Koh about the Moon and Ocean spirits, he tells Aang about stealing a statue that belonged to Koh's mother to trade for his friends' as well as the villagers' lives. Aang doesn't talk to Koh about the Moon and Ocean spirits here, because this takes place before Aang and his friends arrive at the Northern Water Tribe.
Bro stop complaining of course it’s going to be different
@@job489 and the only reason he backed off at all was due to the effigy of his mother, the Mother of Faces
@@ImanLongif it’s a change made for the worse of course people are gonna complain. This shit was ass, lmao. Koh was way scarier in the original show, and Aang way more careful in not showing emotion
Bro I haven’t even watched the series but Aang would’ve already lost his face. He showed waaayyyy too much emotion.
Koh’s design is the only thing they got somewhat right. Everything else is horrible. They reduce his character to just “evil spirit who kidnapped his friends” completely forgetting how hes one of the oldest spirits in the spirit world, and while he is malicious, if you play by his rule of showing no emotion he will not hurt you and will actually help you. And how he was crucial in the saving of the moon spirit. This adaptation is horrible and i see why the creators left it
Blah blah blah dude not everything is going to be the same as the cartoon y’all love the cartoon so much just a couple of changes will make you hate it if you don’t like it watch the cartoon
@@ImanLong i bet you think youre some kind of intellectual with this take huh? Well sorry to burst your bubble but youre not, you just sound like a pretentious prick. I dont expect the live action to adapt the original word for word but i thought it would at least keep the basics and it barely does even that. Its not like there were “a couple of changes” everything from the plot to the personality of characters is changed. And for what? To save time? Even tho its calculated this series is actually longer than the original. A bunch of these changes were meaningless and i think us as fans and as consumers have a right to complain about a product we dont like. So just like how i dont like the series i can just watch the original (which i did) if you dont like my comment you can simply piss off and enjoy your mediocrity😁😁
@@ImanLonga couple of changes that add up to a weaker product
Also, if they didn’t want it to be like the original, why make it at all?
Wait its been changed? In the cartoons aang is looking for the spirits..
A lot!
This episode is loosely based off of Winter Solstice part 1 where Aang tries to find the villagers
Yeah, despite the cartoon Book 1 taking 8 hours and 20 minutes, and the Netflix Book 1 taking 8 hours, they cut WAAAAYYYY more than just 20 minutes of content. Whole show is a massive, MASSIVE fumble. It's a complete joke.
He reminds me of Pennywise, the dancing clown
Only really his “base” face
Koh The Face Stealer is like the Asian version of Pennywise
Yh
What made this creepier is that Koh’s stolen faces have the voices of his victims
Holy sh!t, they really did it This dude is in live action. That is the scariest thing I've ever seen and I love it
Yeah it really scared me especially how he steal everyone's faces
If you haven’t already, please watch it. It’s not a 1:1 adaptation, but it’s worth checking out
He’s not as scary as I imagined him to be in live action
I’m not going to allow them to spoil my childhood
His voice in the cartoon was way cooler
Kuruk: KILL HIMM!
Kill him now, Aang. Do it🥸
I shouldn't.
I can’t believe that Sulu was Koh
I really enjoy this episode with the spirits, especially Koh ! I hope Netflix will bring him back later in the series
Nah, Koh creeps me out, I can't even sleep at night
@@El_Guapo10 LOL
He likely won’t return
Koh was a truly remarkable character. Despite harboring personal resentment toward the Avatar, he chose to offer his assistance. He recognized the catastrophic consequences that would arise if Tui, the Moon Spirit, perished, throwing the world into disarray. While it is the Avatar's responsibility to maintain balance, Koh understood that every individual's actions or inactions also significantly impacted the world's equilibrium. By aiding Aang, he was fulfilling his own duty to uphold the world's balance.
Man this scene really embodies Sokka's line after watching the Ember Island Players "But the effects were decent"
Koh looks like No Face from Spirited Away
Uh, that's the point
yeah the point is for his face to be a Noh Mask
That explains why the episode is literally called spirited away
Koh’s Mother, the Mother of Faces, is an ancient spirit who gave all lifeforms their faces and identities. She also gave Ursa, Zuko and Azula’s Mother, a new identity and sensing her deep emotional pain, wiped her memories so she could start over and be happy. The Mother of Faces is mostly benevolent and helpful, she’s very powerful and thag power can sometimes instill fear into others but she was mostly good. She would always help humans by giving them a new identity so they could leave their sad, wretched lives behind them and start anew. I wonder why she was imprisoned by the Avatar. Maybe to spite Koh for stealing the face of the woman he loved. She doesn’t always support Koh either, sometimes she condemns his actions but a boy will always love his mother no matter what.
Just like the Quintesson Judge change any Faces
Haven't watched it, anyways:
So the face stealer, instead of holding vital information for Aang to prevent the fire nations vitory,
he just bewitched all the other characters except him so now Aang has to go and solve that conflict?
If that's how it was written, that's pretty weak.
Your weak so stop complaining.
@@matt-tf2ob It's "You're" and if you like it so much, why don't you explain to me why this scene/story works?
I am the one balancing on one foot here since I haven't seen it. Should be a pretty easy argument for you to win.
Unless of course you are full of shit and are just trying to mend your own insecurity over this series.
yapping
@@deadlinetugas8181 Are you a baby?
People are always gonna find ways to complain about something lol, I’m not understanding why people hate this series
0:45 lol this moment with Ummi is trigger😂, it reminded me of Ace Ventura in Rhino🦏
Koh's entire thing is that he steals your face the moment you show even the slightest bit of emotion to him. This kid would've lost his face within moments.
The CGI on Koh is incredible. I'll just get that out of the way before I rip this apart.
They completely misunderstood what made Koh such a terrifying creature. It's not just what he looks like and can steal your face. It's that you can not show ANY emotion when you meet him or your face will be stolen. That's terrifying. Removing that aspect makes him kind of a generic monster. Which sucks because George Takei voiced him so perfectly!
I just realized that I know the original voice actor for Koh!!! Like personally have met him and talked to him. He is a very nice man.
1:00 why does this look like rafiki from lion king?
Koh may be dangerous but he isn't evil. He is more so just a feral spirit who will fight back if anyone enters his territory.
I always felt like Koh the Face Stealer was like what the Gravemind was in Halo 2
ah hell no- they just made Koh more terrifying after showing Avatar Kuruk wife
They did that in the original?
@@victorialovinggood5722yes in the animated series as well
Lmao. Koh should’ve gotten his face 0.1s he stepped in there lmao
Koh was surprisingly scarier in live-action, but Aaravos' voice was better than Mr. Sulu, also this was mostly out of character for Aang.
I bet most ATLA viewers who watched TDP immediately recognized Aaravos 🗣️
This is my new fav asmr video
They somehow made this guy more scarier
Does anyone know what episode thus is from?
ep 5
They really nailed it!!😨
Are you stupid? Did you watch the ATLA?? You disgrace me and the Avatar universe.
If by "nailed it" you meant completely ruined it, yes.
That's someone's opinion, you can't force it 🤓
So much nitpicking from people. This series is not bad at all. Way better than the movie
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
And yes, lots of people upset with the many changes in lore. I don’t mind most of the changes though and enjoyed the series quite a bit
What movie?
Just because its better than shit, doesn't mean its gold. Hell, its barely bronze.
So in this version, Koh capture his victims by making them relive their fear or worst memory, if they succumb to these memories, they are captured
quite easy to steal everyone's faces if they dont know what you are, judging from the scene this is apparently when Aang was supposed to be escorted by Hei Bai to one of the fire temples to meet Roku, but instead it's now his job to free the village he was in from Koh
He should've asked Katara instead she would've easily won against koh
Ugh Netflix did Koh and Azula dirty. They're not supposed to be sympathetic in anyway. Koh is a cosmic spiritual cthulu monster there is nothing about him that is sympathetic. Now they're making Azula have a boohoo story. Anything that people thought about Azula being that way is making shit up to justify their favorite character. I like Azula the way she was portrayed in the cartoon, that's what made her an effective villain.
Im 34 y/o and work 12hr shifts. I pay bills and donate when i can.........but THIS thing has always freaked me out n i had to turn my head 3x watching this again on Netflix. So, yea...thanks a lot for the upgraded CGI nightmares
I love this show. It's not the original. But it is what it is and I like it for what it is

@@robtheservantof6257 No. That's a weird projection to make. If you don't enjoy it, that's fine, but don't speak for others because you're unhappy

@@robtheservantof6257 Yes. And you're weird for assuming I accept anything just because I enjoy something you don't. As I said, you're free to miserable. I'm happy when I'm happy. I didn't ask for your opinion. You're allowed to have one, but I just don't care
@@animalfinatic9366 clearly you don't know.
I really commend and appreciate how they really made Koh creepy and uncanny just like the original and they even made his 3d model to look exactly like in the cartoon. My only criticism is that Aang should have been more calm and unphased like in the original since Koh's powers is to steal faces of those who show emotion and he showed too much emotion here.
So Terrified Just Like The Animation
SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE COMICS AND WISH TO FIND THIS OUT ON YOUR OWN, THEN I RECOMMEND YOU NOT READ WHAT I"VE PUT DOWN BELOW.
Koh actually has a mother. I do not know her name other than that both spirits and mortals refer to her as the "Mother of Faces." The statuette that Aang drops for Koh to take resembles her appearance. The Mother of Faces makes her first appearance in the Avatar: The Last Airbender storyline in the comics titled "The Search: Part Two" and "The Search: Part Three."
Koh was a spirit, not Sheloba from Lord of the Rings. Besides Aang would show only his poker face and would not be running like scared puppy.
interesting, didn't think they would include the Mother of Faces (1:50) given how she has only been featured in comic
Mother of Faces is one of the few who isn't just a spirit but a god in the world of Avatar. She's of course the mother of Koh
Ang is showing too much emotion...
Time for some face puns if he decided to be more of a Joker character which he wasn't but you know.
"I never forget a face."
"Face it kid you're not all that special."
"You took it too much on face value."
"You could really use a face lift."
"Why don't you give me a smile."
"You know, once you're a part of my collection, you don't need any face filters."
"Glad you didn't DEFACE my idol."
"It seems you weren't FACEsed (phased) by my approach."
"Now for the face off."
"Onto the next Face of my plan."
Even this is not exactly like the og series Koh is still terrifying as ever i think he's more Terrifying in this than the og series
For those who want to know more about "Koh"

There is an old spirit called "Mother of faces". The avatar will meet this spirit in fire nation. This spirit gives people 1 wish to change face and memory. Further, mother of faces has son and it is called Koh. Instead of granting new face, Koh steals people faces unlike her mother. Legend says that koh really miss his mother. The story of mother of faces and Koh will have connection with the story of zuko's mother and what happened to azula after ATLA ended.
Everyone is talking about how Aang would have been face-stolen by Koh instantly which is fair. Hear me out though, the thing this series does well is take a character with way too brief an appearance and who plays a lawful neutral/evil, and turns them into a much better utilized and foreboding antagonist.
Also, this Koh seems to feed specifically on despair, not the mere presence of emotion, and Aang senses right away that it’s a trap, hence why Koh says Aang can resist
koh's voice and personality don't sit right with me, but he looks way creepier here compared to the series
Koh oh all he ever wanted is a totem return to him that told him is actually his mother
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
May All Hatred Be Obliterated
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If people didn't remember Hei Bei was supposed to be the more kinder spirit that held the others prisoners so it makes sense why HE would let them go not Koh. Koh has no redeeming qualities.
You have to see this Netflix series as a reimagining rather than a straight remake. It'll be less disappointing that way. Plus they do some changes which actually surpass the animated series, IMO. I wish the original show had depicted Zuko at Lu Ten's funeral, for example, or used the explanation of who his crew really are.
They still made KOH awesome and creepy at least !
Perfect animation, but why did they have to change the details so much, Koh's original version is much better
It’s called being different
Can't say I find Koh all that scary/creepy here.
His design is still creepy, but his voice ruins it for me.
"What do we have here? Someone who can resist?" - Koh Some of you need to pay better attention. lol They made the Avatar immune to Koh.
God I hate how they did Koh so dirty. His voice isn't nearly as menacing and he's just not nearly as creepy as he should have been, plus he didn't even try to help Aang like he did in the cartoon. In the cartoon he was helpful but it was clear with how erratic he moved he was trying to scare Aang and steal his face, but here that just... Isn't the case.
The voice sounds exactly like Pennywise the Clown. And the Shapeshifting nature of the creature is also similar to IT!
And also based on NO face from Spirited Away
No it doesn’t sound like Pennywise
made me think of Kia Asamiya’s unstoppable alien Zeiram
Koh was surprisingly less scary than I imagined him to be in live action but I guess it’s because I’m not a little kid like when the original show aired
well seeing the other comments i have to agree, they reduced him to a mere predator
in animated he will talk with you like a friend, but you have to always be on guard because he could snap from calm and friendly to angry at any moment to scare you into making an expression, giving you anxiety due to how unpredictable he is
but fun fact: in the clip Koh backed off and returned everyone because of his mother's effigy, Mother of Faces
Me when live action Koh appeared: no no no I’m giving this series a chance not compare ugh *but* in avatar
Koh was trying to get Aang to slip up and show emotion so he can take his face that’s all he wanted not guilt trip him with another face even in the flipping spirit world. But that’s okay I guess…it doesn’t have to match the original of course.
The CG for Koh is great, but the rest doesn't work. Koh's voice is less creepy, Aang's reactions would have gotten his face stolen and the story behind it just feels like Koh was tossed in. OG Koh was much scarier as the whole point was trying to scare/shock you into stealing your face while still actually helping you.
Koh the face stealers new voice fits well.
That's George Takei
Face would’ve been stolen immediately
I just went to watch the cartoon version everyone should,i just got goosebumps lol it's so much better.
Here nobody told Ang not to show emotion dumb. It didn't show him get excited and Koh coming fast to his face but Ang is emotionless again by the time Koh gets in front of him. They took out the monkey face talking it just laughs. Didn't show Avatar or his girl's face. This was worse than I thought.
I was straight up horrified when this thing appeared on screen- 😳
Not nearly as bad the second time around but still
He is aaravos voice actor
The live action just doesn't seem to hit the same as the original. In my honest opinion, if they want to do a live action ATLA so bad, who not just make a whole new series and characters set in the world? hell, they can just make a live action series based off the previous avatars why remake the original series?
Во представляю таким Пеннивайза в 2044, если на думают выпустить очередной ремейк Оно. I imagine Pennywise like this in 2044, if they don’t think about releasing another It 2044 remake. Nightmare!
damn... is there any part of the cartoon they did not butcher
OK, are they trying to give people nightmares? Why would they make that thing real?
Aang falls to a fluffy leaves... Oh it hurts.
Aang falls after 50 meter fly caused by strong earthbender.... Haha, nothing happened to me!
Feels like they tried to make him like Pennywise.
Too many people are trying to compare this tic for tac with the animation, and that’s why you can’t enjoy things. I love that they made small changes to Aang meeting Koh. Aang doesnt even know who he is, which he did prior to meeting him in the animation. So it really makes sense why the scenarios are different if youre not trying to die in the hill of “this wasnt in the anime”.
Its not comparing to Aang knows about Koh. But its about how Aang shown lots of emotions when meeting Koh, Koh should have been steals Aang's face because of him shown fear emotion on his face
I liked it better in tje animated show he changed faces but kept the same creepy voice but i guess this is ok too
They don’t do the “no emotion” thing
But they also do
But how do you know that if NOBODY TOLD YOU AANG
Yo I'm not going to lie never watched the anime this is my first youtube video I've pulled up for avatar just to see if I wasn't the only one absolutely fucking creeped out by this thing
Aang afraid emotion
Very good Scene
Will we ever know what was Koh's issue with his mother?
Dunno.
