Finished the live action avatar

It’s not a perfect adaptation, I think the biggest thing is they have taken a lot of the fun out of it, Aang doesn’t wanna go do kid stuff, Iroh is way more serious, BUT I don’t necessarily blame like the series itself as much as I blame the current state of tv being in constraints of like 8 episodes and wanting people to binge it in the first few days and everything.

I hope they let Azula be as scary as possible next season, I think they just wanted her introduced a bit earlier since everyone was gonna be waiting for it, I hope they let Iroh chill out a bit more, but in general from my point of view if you see people bashing this series with as much vitriol as the movie then they��re being super dramatic. There are parts that could absolutely be better but like I said those issues go hand in hand with issues with all of tv right now. I think it’s decent at least, I know it’s a beloved series but some people are being HARSH

#bring back filler and characters just hanging out #and stop expecting people to watch shit in the first 30 seconds before you cancel it #for reference I think it’s a better adaptation than the new Percy Jackson tbh #same kinda vibes in the exposition dumps and kinda treating the audience like idiots but avatar just slightly bumps above percy for me #other minor issues are the acting at times but some of those times are literal children #a lot of people seem pissed at the zuko portrayal but season one zuko is dramatic af a lot of the time #and I think Dallas Liu just turned that up a bit and made him angrier which I’m not mad at #I wish katara was a little snarkier I saw someone mention her rage being kind of hamstrung and they were kinda right #it’s not entirely gone but it’s not there as much as I’d like #cgi is kinda whack at times too but that’s everything atm as well not avatar specific #the martial arts pretty good too esp fire bending they still clearly took from Shaolin kinda styles #I do wish they’d speed aang up a bit though #both in general but also stop using slow mo when he’s doing shit #anyway #I’m not super mad at it #if they don’t fuck up toph and do some better characterising of azula and iroh we might actually see it to the end #and some more episodes for like actual development but I feel like that’s wishful thinking with Netflix rn #even like 10-12 would be better and then sokka could’ve had his development with the Kyoshi warriors #and aang can show more of his reluctance and fear because he’s a twelve year old pacifist #avatar #avatar the last airbender #avatar live action #atla
