Part 5 of How Netflix's Avatar Lost Its Martial Arts Identity

I'm back with another episode of analyzing the martial arts in the live action Netflix adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender! And this time, its a twofer. As I predicted, Azula wasn't handled the best and we are far removed from the original cartoon's perfect talent and picturesque Kung Fu, but I was still shocked by the surprises they made to a different character from the animation's run that actually made me laugh so hard I cried. Nobody warned me about what was hiding in the spirit world and I just gotta say, the change was so shocking I was blown away.
Unfortunately episode 5 is short on action and high on insanity, so I decided to lump episode 6 in there with it! The Blue Spirit episode may even be better than the original because we also get to see some crucial background between the fire lord and his son on top of expanding nice character moments. Gotta say I'm surprised by how much this show turned around in the later half, but I think I'm gonna make the next episode the finale for the season instead of going bit by bit. Thank you all so much for sticking around with me! Although I don't know if releasing the vid the same day as the Shadow of the Erdtree was a good idea…

If they were going to commit to wizard fire casting they could've just made Azula a stronger caster than Zuko while Zuko is the better martial artist. Make her a spoiled brat who was "naturally gifted", rarely having to lift a finger since she was blessed with power. Maybe it could play into her insecurities in her martial arts skills. When she lashes out at the teacher, have the teacher ultimately outskill her only for her to resort her bending which is way more powerful than the teacher's (gasp blue fire??). Just a thought! I think it'd be a decent way to close the powergap between her and Zuko and still have it be convincing!

Yeah, if they establish a clearer distinction between the two that is definitely a path to take. It still doesn’t fix her awful choreo in ep 5 tho 😢

There’s a pretty great divide between the two. At least the blue spirit was translated excellently

Seriously, at least with new characters and storylines they wouldn't have butchered the original material as much, and they probably could've cast more actors with martial arts backgrounds if they weren't restricted to trying to fit the predesigned characters from the OG. Base the show on the next Earth avatar, or a past avatar we've never heard of (or even Yang Chen or Kyoshi with their novels as a base). Or they could've made the show about Avatar Wan (I think Dallas would make a great Wan) exploring the development of bending and him becoming the first avatar, it would've made more sense for the extras to have "amateurish" bending if it hadn't been refined yet.

The blue spirit fight was a lot better than I expected but I have mixed feelings about Zuko and Ozai's fight. I don't think a 13 year old Zuko should have the type of opening he did, it makes Ozai feel like less of a threat to team Avatar

I feel sorry for the actress. Out of every character I feel like she had the most stacked against her in terms of expectations

Advice from someone with a wide screen cellphone: If most of your video is widescreen, upload in that format. People whose phones aren't that wide will have black bars added by the video player, but people like me can just enjoy your video in the optimal way. If you add black bars as part of the video, we get essentially a black border.

Weird. I shot this on a LUMIX G7. Are you referring to the footage from the show? Because that’s just captured directly from Netflix. I never noticed it I guess because I test-view these on my computer and phone

@@camgoodkicks The recording device is irrelevant. Most of the video has black bars, so instead of having a few moments where the space the bars take is used, just crop the bars out and move other things if needed. It's not a big issue. It's just that I have seen other RU-vidrs say that when they were small, constructive critique in the comments was how they improved the most, so I provide constructive critiques in hopes they turn out to be useful.

I enjoy your breakdowns of this show, I give the LA a 4 out of 10, hoping seasons 2 and 3 are closer to the source material as far as giving us more of a difference between the elements and bending styles, Martial arts wise. Can you please watch and break down The Raid Film's, John wick film's, and Atomic Blonde, they're some lf the best Martial arts ever seen on screen and I know you'll appreciate the authenticity of each film individually. 💯🙏🏾😃
