Avatar The Last Airbender RECAP: Season 1 

"Aang should practice water bending too, but this whole season he's like Nah, I'm good" I'm deadd

"Sokka is a rizzbender" - truer words have never been spoken

This legend busted out the same shirt for the live-action that he wore when he recapped the animated series THREE YEARS AGO

"You are a wizard harry" is such a cool subtle reference. love the vids.

Not the cabbages!!!

" Saved himself by Freezing into an Ice Cube" that line gets me everytime 🤣

😂😂, "rizzbender"....keep up the good work man of recaps!

I give it a 7/10. It's better than the movie that's for sure 😂

"rizzbender" took me straight tf out lmao

GOAT OF RECAPS BACK AT IT AGAIN!!! 🔥

It's almost like the creators of the movie were like "let's take out all the awesome stuff, dumb it down, take out all the important side plots, and change a tone of stuff that no one will probably miss. We gotta get through this quickly, we only have 3 movies!" And it sucked so there was only one movie lol.

Rizzbender 😂 I'm fucking dead

"Sokka is a rizzbender" - you got me there😂

Wow, your recap makes it seem like this is is almost as good as the cartoon, good job!

IM GETTING READY FOR WORK AND THIS IS THE BEST THING ILL SEE TODAY! Thank you for covering the original, and thank you for now covering the live action, ManO. Loving the content coming out. Congratulations on The Sponsers, they are well deserved!🤙🏼

In my personal opinion. Live action adaptations can be accomplished. But there is something about animation where live action is held back, with animation you have far more freedom and control to play with and it lets people adjust tiny details that make a second viewing better. Live action will always have its limits even with the addition of cgi or old fashioned practical effects yet it doesn’t make it automatically bad or better. Everyone has their preferences. Although I do love the fact that the cabbage merchant is the same actor from the original series! Edit: As an adult I love the Uncle even more and it kind of made me an anti war person. “After Six hundred days away from home, my men were tired and I was tired.” You can tell in his voice on a second watch he’s thinking of his son. 😢

Rizzbending!! OMG! Sokka would LOVE to hear that!! Thanks for the great recap!!

Although this season was not as good as the anime, it is very unique in its own way. There are ways in which the show could have improved and there are areas where it did better than expected. All in all it was 6.5/10 for me

It was never going to be better than the original--when something is perfect, there's no way to improve it--but for what it was, it was a solid adaptation. My biggest gripes were with some of the defining characteristics for some characters. I loved the actor for Uncle Iroh and I think they cast him well, but a key part of his personality was missing. In this show he was either serious or kinda sad the majority of the season whereas in the cartoon, he's always bringing light-heartedness to Zuko's perpetual cloud of gloom. Iroh is so wonderful because he can go from being wise and pensive to goofy and silly and then will bust out some Dragon of the West a$$-kicking stuff...he's a complex character and we just didn't see enough of that. I get them introducing Mai and Tylee early but for all they added to the story, they shouldn't have bothered. Mai is SO dry, monotone and sarcastic and Tylee is the complete opposite--super bubbly, upbeat and happy...we got like 1% of that from either actor. I guess they didn't really have anything to do other than stand around and watch Azula, but I found both of them to be wholly boring and nothing like their characters. Hopefully they'll do better in season 2. Overall though, it was a decent adaptation. Very condensed (from 20+ episodes in the original down to 8, I expected it) but no major upsets in terms of completely messed up plot points; the acting was decent from the kids but not great. I'd expect they'll get better as the seasons progress, though I will say the guy they got for Sokka was about 97% perfect to Jack Desena's Sokka. He captured Sokka's sarcasm and I found myself laughing out loud at him more than anyone which was great. Yeah, overall, it was good.

Neat! I don't know why. I just wasn't expecting you to do this one.

Thank you for doing this

I LOVE YOU MANNN. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Yo bro I love your videos man

Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one crying Zuko sat by Iroh.

Lets go! Thanks brobro

I loved the series... Its a thing of its own... 8/10...

waited for this ❤❤

Love your videos

This recap shows the outline for the live action series was great. Filling in the outline with bad dialog is where they lost it. I think more changes like have Azula older than Zuko but not first in line for being a girl. Then focus on more adult acting with good writing.

IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN (I’m not smart enough to watch shows and you have saved me)

Writing needs work. Such a weird twist for this netflix adaptation... Great recap!

Given the number of episodes, I don't think Aang will learn the other 3 bending elements, the show will just be him mastering the "Avatar State" and that's how he'll defeat the Fire Lord 🤷‍♂

Woah, didnt realize the remake was that good

These recaps save my social life lol! I do not have time to watch long shows like these, but you recap them well for me to get the overall tone and message of the show. I've even watched recaps of shows I've already seen. You do a great job! As for this live-action, I think I love the original show too much to ever be satisfied with anything else. Also, I don't think I am the target audience. I think this is meant to introduce a whole new generation of people to the story of Avatar, and I think that will work. The graphics are nice, and the characters are good visual representation for the cartoon.

Idc what others say, this adaptation while flawed, still ticks enough boxes to be a 10/10 for me!

Sokka's rizzbending is unmatched🔥🔥🔥🔥

Awesome

Thank you for doing this as always. i dont wanna watch this on my own but i will watch your amazing recaps

Such a good recap

Do a recap of Vampire Diaries please! I am surprised it's not there in your channel

I love all your videos nd watch them all ❤❤❤❤❤

I knew this show was going to be different than the OG, and still kept an open mind. I rather liked the show and I think they did a fairly good job.

Please do a recap on supernatural 🙏🏿

where's your indiana jones recap btw? it's my first introduction to your channel, is it taken down or it's just removed?

I’m a real avatar fan, I honestly think this love action remake wasn’t that bad. Was it better than the animated series, hell no. But it was nice for true die hard fans to watch something that wasn’t that terrible ass live action. I feel like the covered a lot , did it respectfully, idk what some of yall were expecting but they gave us something fun to renew the series and I fuck with it. STOP BEING SUCH PERFECTIONISTS!!! It not gonna be as good as the original simply because it’s the original. Duh

The goat fr

Why can I never enable post notifications for this channel?

I hope they do all 3 seasons! Would be a shame if Netflix did a Netflix and cancelled it after 1 season.

Love avatar! Also could you recap TBBT, young sheldon, suits, and lucifer! ❤

Zuko alone ep live action is gonna be very good

I just realized that Princess Yue ends up being a Horcrux for the moon spirit. And maybe Momo too! ??

😂😂 Giant Water Godzilla... Oh man

I'm surprised u recapped the live action version since the animated version is already on your channel.

Bruh they cut so much out ffs kills me

His rizz is over 9000

The mentalist please 😭🙏🏻

Secret tunnel!!!

Rizzbender😂

YESSS DANIEL DAE KIM!!

Just like One Piece, I understand the anime version is more in depth than the Netflix release. Same is said with this one. I get it. But both are still great and awesome imo. Besides that both shows are worth watching. Love em

idk why ppl thoguht they could recrate perfect art or why they even would do that, i liked it for the different stuff it did and the stuff it did to honer the main show. compare this to any scence in that movie and this looks amazing so all prespective ig.

I honestly think it was decent

Wait im your best friend

Yet another show that makes me ask, "Why? The original was already great, and this is nowhere near as good."

Rizz Bender

Man of recaps this is year 2 kindly asking for OUTER BANKS PLEASE 🥺

I mean... isn't this just the first book like in the cartoon days? but still, another show, another 10 or so hours and a lot of internet data saved.

A riz bender 😂😂😂

based

A good show

What do you think of this funny new glitch?

LITTTTTTT!!!

Rizzbender💀

How about no to the face stealer right?

Moist critikal made a really good point when he talked about this show. Everything's too clean. Real people living in the South Pole who are poor who probably only have that 1 coat and pants and gloves to go around while they're gutting things to eat them would be filthy. It's the type of detail you see in something like Lord of the rings and not in something like this.

They did Avatar water Kaiju and got appas design right nough said.

What is Abed doing here???

This show is everything I hoped for and more… 🤪 to the nit-pickers and naysayers

The acting seemed so forced 😭

Do a dune recap!

Can you do a recap of Spartacus?

#rizzbender

Sokka is the backbender

Man of recaps avatar the last Airbender, live action. Netflix to us into others, was a success. Let’s pray, believe trust, and hope. to GOD the it gets a second season and a third season just like one piece live action will get it till the end, no matter what people like I said, trust only believe and pray 🙏 to GOD😇

Can you do the wire please

I once more am humbly requestinga Narcos recap

yip yip

Day 2 of asking Man of Recaps to recap all season of Sopranos

ok, I haven't watched it and do not intend to but it does not seem to be as bad as some say. when you ignore the fact that remaking a cartoon for children as an adult-like war live action show while keeping the main characters as children is an idiotic idea the creators seem to kinda work with what they could it doesn't change the fact only complete morons would think of remaking the original as a live action

Thanks for recapping this so I don't have to watch it

Hehe rizz bender

I strongly recommend you to only recap entire movies and seasons instead of a single episode like you do with twd. I love your content but you could probably get more done and get a bigger audience if you do more than just 1 or 2 recaps a week

Recap shogun episode recap like walking dead

Can you recap z Nation

Zuko doesnt look very menacing idk

where is the blind earthbender kid ? :(

I give it a 3/20 It honestly it sucks its like they removed the good parts about the characters

Horrible adaptation. An insult to the original. No wonder the creators walked away.

waste of a series

The original will always be better no matter what this is just a mockery utter mockery terrible😊
