This adaption, while not perfect due to nothing coming close to the show in terms of perfection, is not bad at all. It's shorter than the show so of course they had to make things flow quicker and things were cut out. But for a 7 episode take on season 1 I was impressed.
Yeah it's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it was a decent TV show (in a vacuum.) Which was about the best we could hope for when they said they want to appeal to Avatar fans AND Game of Thrones fans.
I just don't get it. Who wants a live action avatar. The show holds up just fine.
Only 1 episode in, but I already love it for how cool the bending looks so far. The second Sozin incinerated a guy while holding him, I was sold.
People with brain rot that think that animation is a lower art form, so they would've never even gave the original show a second glance.
Im only 4 episodes in so I can't give a full review but I think the problem is there were some choices that were made that ruined the heart of what was good about the show. Uncle iroh and saka are not funny at all. I just saw the 4th episode which has the caves of omashu and the singing hippies were hilarious but got mostly removed. It's like they think laughing would cheapen then shows seriousness or something. There is no love connection between aang and katara. And they added a bunch of storyline from season 2 for some reason.
Obviously there is no love connection between Aang and Katara, that simply does not work between a 12 and a 15 year old.
12 and 15 year olds can have crushes. Why do we have to act like children don't experience love between friends? It's part of growing up and part of the human experience.
They could have included crushes, yes. But I still think that in current societal climate Netflix would have wanted to avoid that
