I love how they actually gave Iroh and Ozai a conversation. It always bothered me how they were literally brothers, but never talked to each other in the animated show.
@@MightHaveADHD they were just never given a scene together in the animated series. I'd argue they would've talked if they were given a chance to have a scene together.
I definitely agree on this, and it showed both great mutual respect between the two yet Ozais stubbornness since he was the fire lord not only a younger brother.
Yeah, Ozai casually handing his son, who opposes him ideologically and stands to benefit from his downfall, a loyal and devoted military force. What a cunning villain.
Daniel Dae Kim the actor who plays Ozai, also voiced acted in the animation series as General Fong. He was also Hiroshi Sato in the Legend of Korra! Crazy
My favourite scene is the one with Iroh and the earth kingdom soldier. The soldier is obviously in the wrong for beating a prisoner of war, but then he shows vulnerability when he talks about how Iroh is responsible for a lot of death. War hurts everyone.
It isn't. It won't have much sense because if Zuko is already so attached to Iroh (and not shouting at him constantly like in the OG show) and he is shown as compassionate and willing to sacrifice all for people who he doesn't even know (the 41st division) betraying Iroh will be out of character for this version. So they probably won't do it or make it in such a way to show that Zuko isn't responsible for the betrayal (he will be fooled or have no other choice or whatever). They're already doing everything they can to take responsibility off of Zuko.
@@missAlice1990shit dude, I never even thought of that way but you are 100% correct on that. that's is why it's sooooo impotent to know why a scene works before you change it
@@missAlice1990 The betrail can work and hit very hard for this version, IF we see Zuko suffer immensilly for doing it. It will probably be a great test to the actor's skills to pull it off.
I also love how they gave Suki her own struggles. As someone who wants to see the world and experience more, but being stopped by her mom. As much as i love Suki in the animated version, we dont know about who she is aside from being a Kyoshi warrior and Sokka's love interest.
Suki was supposed to be a one-shot character in the cartoon, but she was so popular they brought her back. The live-action has the advantage of knowing that, so they could give her the wish to see the world right when she first appeared.
Yeah, Micheal DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (the creators of Avatar) have admitted in the years since that Suki was supposed to be a one-off character, but they felt compelled by her popularity with fans to bring her back even though they didn't have any plans for her.
@@Sweatmoneyy yeah, people like to nitpick every change as a change for the worse. yet they are incapable to admit a lot of things that this show has improved.
Anyone else feels like the fire nation scenes were written by completely different people than the rest of the show? The fire nation is practically carrying the show writing wise.
@@wahidpawana424that’s because they gutted the heart of book 1, which was the Aang-Katara-Sokka dynamic. Especially the Aang-Katara portion of that. I know Zuko and Iroh are fan favorites, but those two characters and that one relationship aren’t the most important aspect of the show
I think the reason animated Yue gets so rizzed by Sokka being a doofus is because she's always around people who are super serious. Her fiancé is this super macho guy who likes to be in charge and she clearly goes with the marriage out of obligation (while still caring for him as a person). It makes sense to me that it would be a breath of fresh air and attractive to find someone with the same strong ideals of leadership who can goof around without seeming irresponsible or weak. I do think the pacing in the new one is much better and smoither, though
Well also Sokka is a lot more genuine and kind hearted at this point in the story. And despite how awkward he is with her, it definitely speaks to a level of how far he’s come in his arc. No way the Sokka we met in episode 1 would have won the heart of the Princess.
I liked that Sokka’s rival for Yue is actually a decent guy this time and not a cliche jerk. There were very few things I thought this adaptation did better than the original but I did like that change.
I disagree on the point you make about Sokka and Suki. Their live action romance suffers because they did not have the original conflict and spark. Suki instead comes across as if she is just fawning over Sokka.
Exactly! I was shocked to see this in 2nd place! In the live action, their attraction to each other is very superficial, they seem to be interested in each other's looks and don't have much more reason to like each other. In the cartoon, Suki saw how she was able to help Soka grow as a person, their bond felt stronger because they managed to overcome a hurdle to reach that point.
Agreed. Suki was creeping the hell out of me in the LA when she is one of the most beloved characters in the og. Their way of making the show less 'sexist' was taking two strong female characters such as Katara and Suki and turn one into a mindless shell with no passion for anything that rolls with everything and the other into a creepy stalker making guys feel uncomfortable. They misunderstood the sexism in the og was there precisely to criticize it and made the show actually sexist. What incompetence. Bravo Netflix 🙄
For me, the only reason that I convinced myself to accept the Suki and Sokka kiss is because I reasoned that they are two teenagers who have lots of hormones and don't have anyone around them who is their age to be teenagers with, especially with their focus on being warriors. My initial reaction to the kiss was "that wasn't earned!"
Koh the face stealer, stills faces of people that show emotions Also koh…. Torrents his victims with traumatic experiences that make them feel all of their emotions…. No faces stolen
It's kinda dumb, i just make myself believe that Koh has to complete this cocoon ritual before the face is stolen or something so it makes a little more sense
To me, the only good changes were: - the idea of developing Sokka's love interests more (the idea is good, but the execution wasn't great) - Zuko and the 41st division. That's one change I wholeheartedly loved. The only one.
My biggest issue is that they took out qualities of characters to essentially make them near perfect like sokka was indeed arrogant and misogynist earlier on …. But that’s the point lol like the kyoshi warrior part in the anime showed him that yea females are great warriors to ( which is why he asked them to teach him how to fight ) that was his character growth …. Katara being headstrong and aang not taking stuff seriously are some of their flaws and over time they grow ( character development) sokkas growth was so good that towards the end of the series he listens to katara more and leans on others ( mainly females ) for help…. He went from woman should stay in the kitchen to wanting to fight with them on equal ground
Zuko and Iroh are the best parts of the new show, and having the 41st Core arc adds a lot to Zuko's character. Plus that Iroh and Zuko backstory when Lu Ten dies and Iroh sort of volunteering Zuko on his is so much amazing and heartwarming
I bawled when Zuko realized he needed to say more to Iroh at the funeral. You could see it in Iroh’s eyes that he made the decision to take Zuko under his wing knowing his father never would
they probably gonna kill me for this but I'm a firm believer that adaptation should not be a copy paste. I think I would be even more mad if they didn't make any change at all. It's best that adaptation is used as means to correct plot holes and expand the universe of the story. Yeah, that's right. I said it!
One of the biggest reasons to why remakes are flops is because they just repeat the original with little to no changes which makes it uncreative and boring which is why I like various Netflix readaptations because they don’t copy paste the original story they actually do something with it which I appreciate whether it’s good or bad
People are so used to hating every adaptation so I am glad to see someone else who can see the positives AND the negatives. It ain't perfect, but no adaptation ever will be, and at least it is not M. Night Charlatan's version.
Again you guys keep saying that and I don’t think you guys understand that saying the show is better than the movie isn’t the praise you all think it is.
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 its better then season 2 of Korra. basically here are my ratings for all avatar atla season 1: 8.5/10 season 2: 9 season 3: 9.5 korra season 1: 8.5 season 2: 6.5 season 3: 9 season 4: 7.5 live action s1: 7.5 live action movie: 2/10
It’s not that it ain’t perfect, it’s just bad. The negatives far outweigh any positives. The changes that the made were awful and the really stripped down the characters, especially katara
I would say my biggest criticism of the show, as a fan of the original series, is that it feels much less based around Zuko and Aang's foiling. Both of them being young and emotional kids having the weight of the world thrusted on them and having to learn to grow and mature at such a fast rate, "losing" their homes, etc was what made both of them such good characters when they interacted. I do actually like most of the changes you listed, and there is a lot of genuine things to enjoy about the show. I think next season will be a lot better because they wont feel the need to exposition dump as much due to only having 8 episodes to setup the entire world and story.
I agree the air nomad genocide scene is prety good overall. HOWEVER! The problem with showing that is that you remove the posibility of revealing that backstory the way the OG show does it: like in the episode "The Storm" which is without a doubt one of the best episodes of the entire show. The adaptation didn't make the brilliant parallel between Aang's and Zuko's backstory, showing how both protagonists are drowned in guilt of the decisions they made in the past and are now trying to repair something that has been forever lost. It is absolutely brilliant, also using an actual storm as a metaphor for the symbolic storm they are facing in the present. The adaptation not showing it that way is a crime honestly.
I also dislike the idea of putting the airbenders in the same place during the fire nation attack. I found it way more terrifying/impressive when the fire nation massacred the 4 air temples simultaneously, Order 66 style.
I can't agree. Literally the only good change was making Zuko's crew consist of the men he saved by speaking up leading to his banishment. That's it. That's the sole change that's for the better.
In both your videos “worst changes” I don’t think you’re getting that Ozai was toying with zuko the whole time and was trying to get him to let go of his compassion, ergo his weakness. He WANTED zuko to go all out and be ruthless and try to destroy him. He never was out of control of that Agnikai
They only had 8 episodes rather than the 16 that the original first season had, but don't forget that each of these episodes was double or more the runtime of the cartoon episodes, so the total runtime of the season was about the same.
I liked the casting. The people perfectly matched their animated counterparts and I totally bought them. However, when grandma says the original monologue, I was like “ wtf, that’s katara’s soliloquy”
I hated that change. I think Gran Gran giving context for the war is fine, but why copy Katara's lines word for word? It would have been so easy to have Katara say it, say it's what Gran Gran told her (which is true in the animated series).
@@legsnhipsnbawdy I’d like to know the reasoning behind this change cuz that speech? It gave me chills cuz anyone whose seen the show would know like at least half that speech by heart but I feel that they should have given it to Katara instead of Gran gran cuz yes, gran gran would be old enough to know the context better but yes, Katara still could have said it and still attribute the knowledge to gran gran
@@legsnhipsnbawdybecause its a cringe monologue, but when it said by an elderly, it sets a wise tone. Sometimes, what prevent us from enjoying new shows is too much comparison to the past. I TOTALLY FORGOT who said it until i saw your comment, but Gran gran saying it in live action was satisfying for me (your memories is holding you back) Here I was cannot contain my excitement while each scene unfolding before me while most of the others waiting and counting the show fk ups.
apparently some of what the original creators did before they left was the 41st being zuko's crew. which makes sense that one of the best things about this remake is done by the OGs
I like that they had Azula treated similar to Zuko, but since she was the favorite child (and the prodigy) she was more determined to prove herself and be like her father while he continued to push her. The scene with Iroh and the soldier from the Earth Kingdom was great too; it felt like even though he lost his son, Iroh never really had any consequences and the fandom in general forgetting that he is still responsible for a lot of tragedy.
The series isn’t perfect, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’m a fan of the original animation. I hope they’ll take the feedback into account when they make the next seasons, there’s so much potential.
I just want to thank you for putting this video together; I've been trying to give likes and subs to content creators who are taking the time to point about the GOOD about ATLA/live action. We all know it's got loads of flaws. But there are WAY too many on YT who are just dismissing it as trash when I think that's really unfair. I think if they take feedback on board and make some changes, it could easily be a great adaptation. Again thank you for taking the time to showcase the best parts of the series! (Zuko and Iroh... /sigh, SO good!
I disagree with the Yua reasoning. Girls that are royalty don’t get approached often if at all. So his “bravery” to even talk to her says something…but the list is amazing. Love your page and your content. Please don’t see me as a hater. I’m just saying. Thank you for the content
I just realized Zuko became Iroh’s superior in the line of succession after Ozai usurped the throne. Iroh defers to Zuko all the time in the show but I’m just now realizing it’s also a show a deference to one’s “better”. I always just assumed it was because Iroh is being the father to Zuko he wished he had been to LuTen.
The Netflix version of Iroh is too emotional. Instead of being the laid back tea loving person that he is in the original. Iroh cares a lot for Zuko but he shows it in a subtle way, and most of the time he just shares his wisdom without showing negative or overly positive emotions. I wish I could explain this better but I hope someone gets it haha.
I actually like that the Live action did that. I think that if you're going to make an adaptation, you might as well change it up, otherwise it doesn't really have a reason for existing. The Iroh we got in the live action is not the same Iroh we got in the animation, and I think that's okay, as long as the change has a purpose. And unlike many of the changes that the live action made compared to the original, this is one of the few changes that felt like it did have a purpose. This portrayal of Iroh leaned more on his "grieving father" side. Iroh still seemed heavily affected by the loss of his son, while in the original, despite definitely still honoring his memory, it seemed like something he has already managed to move past. In the live action, it felt like he latched onto Zuko in order to cope with the loss of his son, and he needs Zuko just as much as Zuko needs him. It makes the bond between Iroh and Zuko feel closer in my opinion.
I actually felt like Netflix live-action Iroh was too _flat_ and not emotional enough.😅😅 (except at certain moments, like the funeral flashback , which were flipping perfect)
I'm surprised you think Yue and Sokka scenes are better. To me it didn't seem better in any way. It was just a few scenes with them talking and a few quick references to the original. It even seems like it was more rushed than the original, even if they had more screen time. And there's also that spirit bs with Yue, which came out of nowhere and it didn't really serve any purpose.
It served a purpose, as explained in the video. It gave Yue and Sokka a chance to meet earlier than episode 7, giving them a bit more time, and a reason to recognize and talk to each other once they met in the real world. Yue of course recogises him and is interested in him because she was him being worried about his friends, and he is interested in her because he feels like he knows her from somewhere and can't figure out why. It's certainly not a worse move than Sokka in the cartoon running after Yue because he thinks she's pretty.
I thought Zuko managing to achieve an opening to strike Ozai was a good moment. You see Ozai look at him and the raised hand, watching to see what he does next. Except Zuko balks, he was shocked he actaully managed that but he can't bring himself to actaully hit Ozai. Which is what causes Ozai to burn him. Seeing Ozai easily dodge also showed his skill and power. I also liked how Ozai clearly has one eye on Zuko, he is completely fine with the possibility of Zuko emerging as a worthy heir if he becomes 'strong' enough. He's favouring Azula right now but Zuko can still prove himself. Suki and Sokka's attraction in this episode does work a lot more, you get the sense there's a certain attraction because they're both from small settlements where everyone knows each other. So a fresh face who is also good looking is going to be attractive. And interacting and having things in common just builds on that.
The 41st division change was good in the sense it gave more personality to the crewmembers and more emotional connection between them and Zuko. But it wasn't without its problems. 1. It really didn't make sense for Ozai to send away the division which was crucial to his plan (they were supposed to be used as a distraction so does that mean another division was sacrificed or did Ozai gave up his plan just to give those men to Zuko for no reason other than "If you love them so much, take them with you.") 2. Why would Zuko treat them like garbage if he was willing to sacrifice everything for them? Okay, this one might just his short temper speaking but we didn't see one scene when he truly cares about them in THE PRESENT MOMENT, like the cartoon showed with Zuko saving the lieutenant. 3. Why would they immediately worship Zuko just after learning they owe him their lives. I mean, sure it might've changed their perspective on him. They might've shown a gesture of respect and gratitude but why are they suddenly okay with being treated like garbage (because Zuko didn't change his attitude towards them and didn't apologize or anything)? If someone who abuses me saves my life, it won't make me be okay with his abuse, much less worship him and pledge my undying loyalty to him. Understanding his behaviour, yes, gratitude, yes, but not that cringy scene which was made just for Zuko's fans to see their beloved character worshipped.
Just because Zuko saved the 41st division doesn’t mean he likes them he just didn’t want recruits killed so soon after joining the military and he had spent 3 years with them perhaps he even started off being good to them before they revealed their character which lead to Zuko treating them badly
I legit wanna know which changes were initiated by the creators of the animation series (before they left the live action) versus which ones were by the Netflix adaptation creators. Then we can judge whether or not the writers did a god or bad job.
So is anyone else disappointed with fire bending? In the animated show the characters do a lot more with their fire bending then just flip kicks and flamethrowers. They make small daggers, create walls of flame, make whips. And yes I know that Zhao makes a fire whip but thats near the end.
That’s essentially what it is. She didn’t show much interest in him until he showed up asking her to train him while apologizing for his sexism after the Kyoshi Warriors embarrassed him and humbled him.
6:47 "Beating" is perhaps a strong word, here he's just shocked by the fact that Zuko didn't want to hit him not cuz he had a sort off upper hand. And we have no proof he wouldn't casually block/absorb Zuko attack if the latter did attack...
He legitimately had the upper hand in that moment there’s no other way to look at that. He chose not to when he could have is the wah it was being portrayed.
Iroh and Zuko's moments in Netflix is simply the best thing in the show! Please Make spin-off prequel series with them traveling to find the Avatar !!! ❤🔥
Trying to catch up with Yue to ask her out, is not "stalking." That's almost as bad as calling him a sexist. These loaded words make things sound worse than they are. Anyway, Zuko's crew is hands down their #1 change. I also liked blending the Jet and Mechanist plots in one. Given their limited time, that was some nice storytelling economy. The Waterbending scroll was good too, and I liked that Suki's mom ran Kyoshi island. An adult should be in charge. Iroh and Zuko's scenes, while enjoyable, have the problem of giving away that Zuko is sympathetic way too early. Because he never feels like a proper villain in Season 1, his character arc is completely stunted. Instead of there being power in his change of heart, now, it's way too obvious that he's a good guy. And we're just counting the minutes until it happens. But I just can't get on board with the Air nomad opening. I don't need to see a genocide, to understand that genocides are dark. People who defend this just need to admit they thought it was cool, rather than try to act like it meant anything to the plot other than robbing the show of Aang's mystery, and hurting the logic of the backstory (Where now the monks KNEW the fire nation would strike soon, so... they all conveniently decide to gather in one place like a bunch of morons)
7:45 while in the original series, Aang and them were at the northern water tribe for approximately a whole month and a half maybe. And during that time Sokka and Princess Yua would probably gotten to know each other a little bit more for at least a couple weeks or so before in northern water tribe invasion. So there was probably enough time for some chemistry
I disagree with 2 things. 1) the 41st change is a top three. not only did it surpirse me as a person that has seen every episode of ATLA at least 10 times, but it was perfect for zuko. 2) Sokka and suki had plenty of time in the series. (Yes, I am talking about that one episode in the beginning not the rest of their romantic encounters). It is very admirable to have a flaw, but fix it in a short time. Suki had plenty of time to appreciate sokka and him her in the animate show.
Zuko was right to speak against the plan to use the 41st division as cannon fodder. He’s showing care for his people like a true leader, but his father’s idea of what it means to be one is just pure tyranny.
I have to disagree on the point about Gran Gran giving Katara the water bending scroll, it's weird to see Katara immediately master water bending just by talking with Aang and without any struggles
what about the scene with kuruk? Aang seeking help from Kuruk to help against the fire nation attack was smart and makes sense. Kuruk likely has a few temples in the northern water tribe that Aang can meditate at and get his help. However, thanks to Kuruk’s injuries from constantly fighting dark spirits he is unable to lend a hand on the physical front. I like the addition of the scene which explains why the previous water avatar couldn’t lend a hand to Aang.
I think this video perfectly illustrates the reason the live action Avatar sucks. Literally every good change is “I like this, but…” almost every good change in the show is overshadowed by what is lost because of the change.
the cartoon and the Netflix adaptation are supposed to represent the same thing, yet somehow, they turned out to be kind of different. I really enjoyed both of them and I'm delighted with the new show, especially the cast, the costumes, the bending, the music and the references, no matter what
Honestly, I loved they actually added a scene of ozai and iroh interacting, really shows off how different they are, iroh mourning over his son lu ten, while ozai doesn't care about it
You are wrong for this 😭😭 why would you play this tune 12:11 only the images makes me sad, now I'm crying 😭😭😭. This is definitely the best part of the entire series.
One issue I had was how they crammed in like 4 different characters into Omashu. The cartoon has the advantage of more episodes and more locations, so each side character has more time to breathe. Jet's operating in Fire Nation territory, which makes more sense. He'd want to go after the Fire Nation for revenge, not stay in the Earth Kingdom. The Mechanist's reasoning for helping the Fire Nation also makes more sense. Instead of being in a fortified Earth Kingdom city, his people are living in a vulnerable temple. Also, I'm disappointed the show made throwaway rebels instead of using Jeong Jeong and his boyz.
I feel it makes sense because while there are fire nation colonies there are also spies which is a bigger threat and Sai and Teo were fugitives from the earth kingdom and we know from the original that most fugitives went to Ba Sing Se to escape the war with Omashu being another big city that held out in the war so it makes sense that fugitives would come to Omashu too and the way Aang states in the original and the premiere shows makes it seem like just airbenders could access the temple as well as firebenders during the comet while it was never explained how Sai and the citizens of his town even got up there in the first place
You know how sometimes they test movies, like they just show it to certain amount of people for free, and they are ask if they like it or not, and why. Well I think they should do that ALL the time, even for shows, imagine how great would this be.
11:35 I hate you so much for this. I already cried watching the live-action when the song played in the background, and again when I rewatched the original afterwards. YOU CANNOT KEEP HITTING ME WITH THIS MF SONG EVERYTIME!!!
Id say number 6 is bad cause of what it does to Aang. He just immediately believes his people are dead and you dont see him go in denial. So all of episode 3 had to be cut. Which I gotta say, netflix still hasnt learned. Cutting content doesn't make it better unless that content is unnecessary or boring. It's why one piece works so well. It cut off the pointless bloat the anime had
I didn't agree with the 10 negative things you mentioned. I actually liked the sibling love aspect instead of a romance with a 12 year old. Nothing wrong with a crush but at this age a sibling relationship is more important. I took removing Sokka's sexism as not the best but replacing it with the sibling rivalry and jealousy to be an intriguing change. . I thought most were necessary to condense the story. But the top 3 are spot on especially Yie who I found creepy on the animated show that I don't watch anything with her in it. I LOVED this Yue. But I would add 1 more thing the comet festival. One of the things that drove me crazy about the original show was the idea that attacking the Aur Temples would eliminate all (or even virtually all Airbenders). For christ sake they are Nomads. I wondered if the animators knew what that even meant (other than it's a word used in description of Asian culture because of Attila the Hun)!!? But this meant that most of the Airbenders would be their and virtually all if they are getting ready to prepare for battle. It kept the sneak aspect but in a way that it made sense.
nah dude. They messed up Iroh entirely. A huge part of his charm is his joy and humour and love of the little things. It makes it all the more powerful when he turns around and says something wise. He's far too serious in the live action. Also, him disagreeing completely with the fire nation before Xiao does the thing with the moon in the north pole is accelerating his arc. Iroh is the main reason I stopped watching the live action
Remember how Heibai kidnapped people into the spirit world? Remember how he literally did that to Sokka? That would have been a much better move for the writers to make. Bring in Ko and make things confusing? Wtvr. But change the rules of the spirit world for absolutely no stakes? Dumb. Dumb move, but almost not forgivable to not know the source material enough to see how they could have so easily made it all make, at least technical, sense. And for the fog, they could have pulled the swamp fog situation.
The fact that this video has half as many views as your top 10 worst changes video just proves that all people care about is how bad the show was. It wasn't great and obviously would have been better if they just stuck to the source and had more episodes, but it wasn't completely awful either.
og fan here, for me the best changes they added is the dynamic between iroh zuko and ozai, really loving their dynamic. the best scene for me is the agni kai-banishment scene, credits to the whole live action team for that.
I agree with most of your points, there’s definitely some good stuff in this show and people honestly saying that “oh it’s worse than the Shymalan version” are talking out of their ass. Highlight for me is Zuko and Iroh’s relationship and Iroh’s convo with the Earth Kingdom officer in Episode 4. On change number 6 however I sincerely disagree. There was no weight to it. I’m not sure if this is me already knowing what happens to the airbenders from watching the original show but this scene just felt off. Sure, it’s cool to see visually the airbenders fighting back as we didn’t see that in the OG but it didn’t feel tragic, it felt like a random skirmish. If I’m saying “wow this scene was really cool to watch” when referring to a genocide, I feel like the point has been missed with the intent of showing something like that. If you realllllly want to show what is essentially the systematic extermination of a people, there are ways to do it. Maybe more scenes with Aang in his element, more of his relationship with Gyatso (already a welcome addition in this show), that way you can emphasize “hey, something bad is going to happen”. Maybe less emphasis on the battle aspect would be better for depicting it and more of a sense of urgency in the airbenders defending themselves from an impending onslaught. Hard to accurately articulate my thoughts on this subject but this depiction just did not work.
@@alexi5963 Because of the needless incessant hostility everyone held for no reason throughout the show. In the original, that captain actually respected Iroh a lot and understood his plight as a war veteran himself. Funny how the "kids" series had a mature debate between two veterans, while the "mature" TV series turned the captain into an emotionally hysterical manchild who couldn't control himself and turned to torture for zero reason. Basically a Disney villain.
@@TheStraightestWhitest So your problem is with the “needless hostility” that the guy treats Iroh with, correct? Not everyone is going to react amicably to meeting someone who was the cause of hundreds of deaths, especially when there’s a personal harm that’s been inflicted. You’re right in the sense that it’s needless violence, considering his buddies try to calm him down and he realizes that his emotions got the better of him. But I thought it was at least an interesting take for it’s more “mature tone”, shows how much of a toll the war has taken mentally on a lot of people.
Dude some of the comments down here are WILD, I am so sorry you have to deal with this nonsense lol. Anywhoodles, love to see a more nuanced take on the remake, because while it differs from the original, not all of the changes were bad
That goes for anything new imo. I think people need to do away with the whole “Hate fetish” ideology. Tbh it’s kinda cringe when someone literally hates everything.
The problem is that a show like this has to prove itself in a way, it has to have a reason for existing and make itself worth watching more than most shows because it is an adaptation and we’ve seen this story done in such a great way already with the animated show People are gonna be skeptical right from the start and if it doesn’t hold up then people are not gonna have many good things to say about it Also we know why they made the live action show in the first place, which is to make money using the goodwill the animated show built up I think that’s why people would see it in a negative light right from the start
Wrong. This is parroted everywhere, and it's blatantly fucking wrong. Use extensions to see the like/dislike ratio on trailers and you'll see it's 98% likes to 2% dislikes. Every comment is saying they love the scenery and music. The worst you'll see is ''I'm cautiously optimistic''. You can keep parroting this all you like, but you'll have to one day just acknowledge that the backlash is due to this show being shit, not because people were hellbent on calling it that when it isn't. People, myself included, wanted to love it.
Is 1 truly minor? It's been a while since I saw the original series, so I may not remember all the details. But does she not steal the scroll from a group of criminals, making her effectively compromise / develop for the first time on her sense of morality and also confront danger? Is this character development done in some other way in the adaptation?
It was never any real development as Katara always seemed to be the kind of person who knows that stealing is wrong and that episode was her learning that lesson like she didn’t know that in the first place
@@axelnilsson5124 I think the point in the original show was her learning humility, she stole the scroll because she wanted to get an edge on Aang since he was so inherently talented
@@Dramn_ but she always seemed like someone who knew humility before the series started and should have realized that he’s talented in waterbending because he’s technically done it before and that using a scroll alone doesn’t make you better
