Just turned on this mid. I’m glad I’m not a fan cuz I woulda been hurt.

I truly wonder why it’s so hard to do.

This s*** is mega flat... like every uninspired writing/directing choice possible. God bless.

Gave up on it halfway cause aang is annoying

Once it goes to Omashu it’s kind of a mess of trying to blend too many things together

• Jet
• Teo and Mechanist
• Secret Tunnel but no Aang
• Intro to Azula and her crew who come out of nowhere

and this is basically all before Aang meets Bumi

Idk man I’m enjoying this & in all honesty I really liked episode 6

This ain't as bad as some people making it out to be. Then again, it's also far from great. As a fan of the og I'd give this a light 6.
Some of the casting choices are questionable:
Aang's acting is meh.
Azula's actor is just too cute looking compared to the bad b**** psycho she was originally portrayed as. Acting wise she's aight tho.
Uncle Iroh feels a bit miscast. Can't lay my finger on it with him, but his portrayal is off.

But there's also bright spots:
Zuko's actor is amazing imo.
Zhao is good.
Ozai is also great
Sokka is good too.

As for the story, as everyone else has already noticed, they're trying to do too much within these episodes. It feels very rushed, even though the runtime is very close to that of the original cartoon. I guess it's also the overal direction. It's also not like I expect to be just like the original, but even in it's own way, it's really just far from being as good as the original.

All in all, I still enjoyed it for what it is, and I hope that a possible 2nd season will just have much better direction.

So u just never liked avatar or sum? But u watching this bs?

I think it's the combination of 'mature but not edgy' writing as a whole and really really well-written characters in particular. the world itself kinda makes more sense when its animation too, we knew all that bending would probably look stupid in real life

finally im not really sure how much stuff post-TLA is creators actually wanting to go somewhere with their universe and what is paycheck stuff

I’ve always hovered around it but never fully dove in. I’m aware of the lore pretty well.

plus, since I was a kid, I was writing stories that focused on kids using the elements like this and I always felt that Avatar jacked me lol

fair points. I chalk it all up to the check.

Man stop watching the live action and watch the og
Shame on u!

lol I swear I will one day

Ian Ousley (Sokka) and Dallas Liu (Zuko) with the best performances imo

Episode 5 was very good and important

best moment was Katara and Sokka’s flashbacks

This is what I needed it to be tbh

• It wasn’t a 1:1 retelling but still stayed true to the storyline

• The fighting & costumes stayed true to the show

• The effects were great for a Netflix show

• I’m not concerned about the pacing because they did great in under 10 episodes with everything they had to cover, it’s unrealistic to expect a grand number of episodes like the cartoon

The only real draw back imo is the acting & character for Aang

Aang in the cartoon had some goofiness & even more confidence than the one portrayed in the show so far. This Aang seems very one dimensional

Those Iroh x Zuko flashbacks in episode 4

Aang actor idk but I get it he's only 12

Already cried 2 times like 3 eps in. This is everything I wanted from it even if its not Game Of Thrones level

Sokka crush just as hot as the cartoon version

Iroh shouldve been fatter

Some of these story changes are odd (koh, spirit world) they're cramming a lot of stuff they don't even need to be in this season.

Episode 6 is really good tho, zuko actor nails it. Wish the rest of the show follows suit with this episode

Yeah that whole northern tribe section was extremely rushed. Overall the show wasn't bad but pretty disappointing but also expected
