NETFLIX'S AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER - S1EP2 WARRIORS

[quixotin]

OK OK I FINISHED BINGING THE ENTIRETY OF NATLA AND I GOTTA SAY IT WAS A GREAT ADAPTATION!!!

Here are my thoughts so far:

The parts where I still had my reservations for the first half were definitely addressed in the second. There were more Kataang beats, especially in the last three episodes.

Please that whole part before the zutara showdown where Aang goes like "go easy, enough ppl have suffered" and zuko is more or less like "lol it's cute u think i'd hold back" and then aang has this proud little smirk like "oh i wasn’t talking to you"😏 Also his proud little smirk when Katara is fighting Pakku PLEASE HE IS GOING TO BE THE PROUDEST BF

They covered the most important points and had a decent few scenes of fan service, loved that.

However, the adaptation is not perfect and there are definitely parts that were lacking, at least to me. Primarily, I think they did our girl Katara a little dirty not emphasizing as much on her arc as opposed to Sokka's, for example, and also the way her ascension to master was pretty telly instead of showy

There was definitely something to love in every episode, but I think the weakest ones have to be Omashu and Spirited Away.

My ABSOULUTE FAVORITE episodes were Into the Dark and Masks. Dallas, Paul, and Gordon did SUCH a great job in them. I cannot WAIT for the proper leaves from the vine scene and also to have more of zuko interacting with aang.

ZUKO IS BABY BOY AND DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING NOT EVEN ABCs 🥺🥺🥺

My favorite was Zuko by far, yes. I think the performance and the was he was written struck the best balance of that goofiness and tragedy atla is originally known for. That’s not to say the other kids didn't do a good job, but Dallas' Zuko was by far the best imo

I understand now what the showrunners meant by making the show more mature and serious. I cannot say I didn't like it, but I can see it being an acquired taste especially for the part of the fandom that is more purist/demanding. I like that the focus emphasized more on the consequences of war and that it reflected on the cycles of violence and hurt, what they do to a person and how the wounds pass down generationally. I think this emphasis on war, compassion, kindness, all those things are definitely an important message in this time and day. However, it is a little too serious for my taste, PRECISELY because of the times we are living in. Back when the OG came about the world was in a time of relative peace. But now we get pictures of carnage and genocide mixed in with videos of cute puppies, so it's definitely a different place. It was much easier to understand the gravity of the genocidal/bombing scenes imo, almost to a point that they seemed watered down/kid friendly compared to the real thing that we see on our phones everyday. Because of that, I think erring more on the comedy, the balance between what it ACTUALLY means to be hopeful and not just talking about it, is the one thing the show could improve upon for next seasons.

All in all I am VERY pleased with the adaptation. There were moments where I definitely bawled my eyes out, shouted, and laughed the same way I did the first time I watched the show. All I can say is, for those still on the fence about watching it, so long as you go in with an open mind and with the explicit objective of enjoying yourself, it will be a fun watch.

[bish-wuh]

You know, I’m not too sure about this Sokka

…I get it

[christopher-bryant]

Sokka: So when are you going to give me a betrothal necklace?

Suki: Isn't that something men of the Water Tribe typically give to women?

Sokka: Well excuse me for wanting to be a modern man and break down sexist traditions!

Suki: How would your dad feel about it?

Hakoda: Not that you kids need it but you 100% have my blessing and more.

Suki: Really?

Hakoda: Really. I'm just glad he's spending time with a woman who isn't his grandma.....or a snow woman.

Suki: A snow woman?

Hakoda: Its exactly what it sounds like. I still don't know where he found the make up or how he managed to get it on there.

Sokka: Dad?! That was one time!

Hakoda: One time that I know of and one time too many for that haunting image.

Katara: Welcome to the family, sis.

live action sukka my beloved

[darklinaforever]

My only real criticism of the live action being that for Sokka, I liked both of his romantic relationships. However in the live action... Ok. I always preferred Sokka with Suki, but the fact is that in the live action they kiss on the mouth ?! And we have fucking great chemistry. But the thing is, it makes it weird that Sokka then kissed Yue. Also, he has less chemistry with this actress than Suki's for me. So basically, I like that Suki is the first love, but ultimately it feels strange with Yue. Conclusion ? They shouldn't have made Sokka and Suki kiss each other on the lips and just left the tension between them unresolved. Because otherwise wtf ?! Sokka was the type of guy who had a hard time kissing Suki because Yue had walked by right before, even though she was dead by then. And you tell me that Sokka in love with Suki is going to go with Yue, but wtf ?

"suki shouldn't have been sokka's first kiss" a war has been going on for 100 years and they were raised in fear constantly and had an expectation to protect others and they've finally found someone who might just understand a tiny bit what the other is really going through and they've just survived a very high-emotion experience. let them have this

Nah, on second thought, I'm actually ok with them nixing Sokka's sexism arc, for one incredibly simple reason—it's not something you can turn into a season-long character development in a show that removed the bite-sized episodic structure, and as a result it would have just taken up space. It's beloved and remembered, and for a good reason, but it also gets resolved immediately. And so there's also no real storytelling need for shoving Sokka into the Kyoshi uniform because without a larger arc it conveys no information and no development.

Contrast with what the remake actually did give Sokka in terms of an overarching story and how everything about his encounter with Suki and beyond feeds into it: he's uncertain and insecure about possibly failing to rise up to his role as a warrior and gain his father's approval, and he reacts accordingly. He's not trying to one-up Suki but impress her to confirm to himself he is meeting the expectations placed on him. And what I find so moving about the whole thing is that the characters do appreciate him—for blatantly unstereotypical aspects of his personality and contribution, be it him inspiring Suki, helping the mechanist, or giving Yue comfort and Katara encouragement.

NATLA Sokka's story isn't about him overcoming his misogyny. It's about him accepting and exploring his untraditional masculinity.
