Avatar: The Last Airbender | The Art of Bending | Netflix 

Honestly i felt like the earthbending seemed weak in this live action.. but it might just be the foley

but never weaker than "that" movie@@blayses3116

earthbending did look a little off but i was still totally immersed in the theatrics of the show. hopefully with season 2, the budget can be even more. im excited for azula too azula's actor and character's aging (which ik the rest of the actors will age), & more spotlight will really suite her better than the little we saw of her in this season. @@blayses3116

plus toph

@@blayses3116weak? Ummm I think you are confused with the film

He needs all the awards

He's the only one carrying all the fights. They really put him to work. This is why people say don't show your conpetency n only do bare minimum...🙃

It's because he already knows martial arts and thats why when he does it feels like an extension of himself and not others just throwing out other bending like it's magic or something.

Dallas said he was allowed creative input in his choreo as well :)))

seeing the Katara fighting scene in the water tribe (you know which TWO scenes im talking about), the earthbenders in the very beginning of the series, the slaughter of the Air tribe... i cannot wait for the live action of LAST AGNI KAI of Zuko vs Azula...

the only thing i’m full proud of for the NATLA tbh

The bending was the worst part it looked so fake omg

visual effects were good but im a little disappointed on the way the martial arts was presented. a lot of standing in one place with arms blasting fire. fire benders feel like their hands are flame throwers as opposed to being controlling a wild and dangerous element such as fire. elements kinda feel the same just a general power they have. also a lot of close up shots to save money on vfx so you cant see or appreciate the moves they do.

For a show where everything about it is fiction...​@@snowlily6601

Love This Movie ❤❤❤

To be fair General Iroh (both) Korra and Za'heer do that too with their techniques 😮

"firebending comes from the BREATH, not the muscle!"

​@@falconeshieldafter korra they swapped from traditional martial arts to modern mma so the society in general had more punching in their bending

True, Kuvira's beinding is an example of modern earthbeding/metalbending the way her fighting stance is like that of an MMA fighter, and use quick punches and hand weaving to deliver fast but powerful earthbending and metalbending attacks. I think its that same way their technology advanced alongside their bending disciplines. @@op2265

@@op2265 yes but we are in the first book now

I honeslty want Bloodbending to be a bit gruesome. We got to see Sozin turn that earth bender to a charred corpse. Bloodbending is by far the darkest technique in all of Avatar and i want them to go all out for it.

don't think you'd need much CGI for bloodbending, just some really good stunt person

​@emiraryaputra4900 Ick imagine a really good mimer mimicking a possessed mannequin

Same!!

me too. cant wait to see that chapter of Puppet master granny.

his skills are ❤‍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (pun intended)

Wait for the next season two.

Zuko Alone is gonna be 🔥 🔥

HONOOOOOOR ​@@rudinah8547

Ikr!!

beautiful comment! Thank you for this

Can't agree more with you. All of them put so much Heart into the project, most of chapters made me cry. The feeling of being in Avatar's world is real 10/10 ❤ I hope they bring us season 2 soon

A complete trash & disaster. I wonder how come they came up with those f.up cast at the first place itself. I prefer 2010 mr. Ong

​@@BauklebenNo you don't, don't lie now. 2010 movie only had Asami being good.

​@@lanagomes2063It's from the heart. And honestly, it's great to be in this world again. 😊

What a joke. A complete disaster this entire series was.

@@Baukleben yeah just like your entire life is a joke

​@@Baukleben good thing he wasn't talking about the show itself but praising the ACTOR.

@@Bauklebenyou are the joke. Get off the hate bandwagon

At some point I thought he must be wire rigged. Apparently, his flip kicks are just really good

ikr right, shit felt rushed

​@@r3stl3ssChildren are probably here, tone down the language

​​@@falconeshieldthis series and youtube are both 13 plus. 13 year olds hear way worse from school. I do not think that there should be any problem tastefully using the s bomb or the f bomb. There is youtube kids for children

@@falconeshieldthey have an app specifically for kids

I think they had a few good moments, but overall this live action was pretty bad

well the people cgi was bad bending looked good

i was thinking the same thing

anda four

and five@@pendora4182

@@pendora4182 there's no need for a fourth season. the story ends with the third book

@@ostri94 ah i forget 😅

Season 2 and 3 confirmed !

my 2 biggest concerns are that they pushed Aang away from his playful happy nature and that they lost a lot of the subtleties in their emotions and went with a straight forward style to talk them out loud instead. Nontheless I like the show a lot and look forward to how they handle the next seasons especially as the actors get older

@@Thegoodthingtodofr tho, this live action was pretty bad.

@@ThegoodthingtodoThen why are you watching the video, looking through comments??? 😂

@@Thegoodthingtodo thats your opinion, keep it to yourself please.

Netflix always cancel the shows after season one

@@Thegoodthingtodothey don't see it

Same 😆

@@zteir Awesome

Same with me, I enjoyed watching the live action series better than the crappy movie, I don't a f*** if haters don't like it. This live action series wiped away the stink of M.Night Shallow man version

@@tovolume Amen

@@tovolume agreed

They usually do the feet stomping and ground punching in combination when doing power moves or the "heavy attacks", and the arm and hand movements for "light attacks". But mostly, the overall technique varies per person, earth kingdom soldiers might often do that as part of their training, but earthbending masters like Bumi and Toph got their own unique take on it. Toph usually strikes quick and fast so she's more on doing arm and hand movements, while Bumi on there other hands likes to be flashy on go all out so he often use heavy earthbending moves that often requires stomping and punching the ground the get a good "grasp" of the earth.

@@dinglemccringleberry9019 Legit perfect explanation. They are so many ways to bend, and to portray it in different styles is awesome. TBH first episode I was kinda hm meh okay, but it really got better from each episode, and they really invested super hard on Zuko and it shows but he is always the character who comes first into mind if someone was talking about the series because his redemption ark ist just too well-made in the original series :D Super bilingual stoned take so it may be horrible haha

@@HardRoboMusic At least the actual bending in this is pretty decent and somewhat close to the original. Unlike from the movie where there's like six dudes doing "earthbending" motions for like 5 seconds just before a small rocks floats by, same with the other bendings like there's to much motion before the actual bending happens like they're casting a spell like in a RPG game meaning it's too sluggish when compared to the animated series. If they ever plan to make a live-adaptation of Korra, that will truly test if they can really pull off live-action portrayal of high-tier bending from elite benders and bending masters. One example would be the fights with Kuvira. Particulary the animation in the scene where their train gets ambushed by earthbenders and Kuvira singlehandedly stooped them by primamarly using metalbending, and they she uses it is so "Toph" level to the point she can make big moves using only quick handmovents. Especially where she weaves her hands to bend the metal plates in her armor so quick and precise as if she's weaving jutsu hand signs.

some fights looked bad

@@SteffanBlanco1 I think it was mostly in the beginning, they took some time to get their style right but the later episodes were perfection regarding bending even airbending which I think was the hardest to show .

@@HardRoboMusic perfection is a bit of stretch and also Aang was supposed to waterbend before he got to the north

@@SteffanBlanco1 That's true, but it's more like an own interpretation of the story, some things definitely changed for sure.

Me too please 🙏 😢 😭

What was there to enjoy about when all it did was butcher the source material

@@Otterwithdahatthen go sulk in the corner because a lot of us liked it😊

@@phoebehalls5213 go watch the original animated series

She’s the greatest earthbender I’ve ever seen!

there was? I never watch much of the animated episodes.

@@LoynePueblos yes. Mostly when azula comes into frame

Season 2 & 3 have been given the green light. Now we have to do is wait. For me, at this time of commenting, I'm up to episode 2. Watching this, has sort of spoil it for me, but that's ok, because I have watched the cartoon series except for Korra. I can't wait for next week when I watch the rest of the show.

Season 2 is real??

@@lorenzodomosmog552YES! And 3!

How could they’ve done that?

Same in the Philippines, they didn't finish airing all the seasons instead they keep repeating the season 1 😂

Katara what could go WOOOOOONG (Avatar Abridged reference)

Same in Bangladesh watched the last season in dvd.

better than the original!? 💀

​@@jaspersroom1934 you know the answer to that

​@@jaspersroom1934 🤓

​@@jaspersroom1934No one said that. God some of you live to complain.

​@@falconeshield fr

A complete disaster cringe series.

@@Bauklebenthere was no need for that 😂 he just said he loved it and it got renewed for its success whenever u like it or not

Tea Time With Toph was a great catch up series till the show was released

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed in most ytbers. I did not forget the hype the og creators made in the buildup of the other movie thingy of [*CENSORED*] and then we got a mess that made Doom 3 look good. This show is sooooo much better m'gawd

A complete trash. I prefer 2010 mr.Ong

@@Bauklebenyou really don’t 😂

The earthbender from the first 2 mins of the 1st episode is how I expect Toph to earthbend. But much better.

she wasn't FAT in the cartoon.

It's been 84 years now was the best time
