im gonna be real with you chief, i may not like the natla, but i enjoy natla zhao even more than OG zhao. og zhao was a sleazebag but natla zhao is like your bitter workplace enemy Michael who works in middle management. entirely and utterly pathetic, serving officecore loser. giving a bit of a gay-but-votes-conservative vibe. which to me is very enjoyable, i liked having him on my screen.

#i do think that the natla managed to flesh out some background and side characters in interesting ways #but that this only worked because those side characters arent integral to the themes of the story #and so can be reshaped as u see fit without changing the story much #tho idk how much of that was actually written and how much the cast acted their ass off #i WILL say every actor on that show does a great job trying their best to salvage the burning trainwreck that is natla #the acting is very good. it is however also the only thing that is good.#hmmm. i did THINK i noticed some stylistic choices in firebending style in the natla? like more focus on THROWING movements than in the og #im neutral about that #zhao #natla #atla
