Well I have finally watched the first three episodes of Netflix’s ATLA…
Ugh.
#I have so many criticisms of the first three episodes I’m scared for the other five#they botched nearly every character holy shit#especially suki aang and sokka#the only character I felt they got mostly right was zuko surprisingly (except the scar)#but at this stage his personality is mostly angry sometimes cringe teenager who wants to go home#so his character isn’t at the complexity of seasons two or three yet#they definitely ramped up his firebending which I’ll accept IF azula is 10x that#which I doubt but still#I do like that he’s concerned about honor even when faced with the opportunity to get gossip about zhao#honoring one’s enemy and all#every time he fights the gaang he gives them the chance to surrender first which is nice#many villains just attack right away#but besides that and the effects I disliked the show pretty strongly#smashing together omashu jet AND the northern air temple while taking the most important bits away from each of them? atrocious#jet needed to successfully manipulate both katara and aang to unblocking the dam#so that sokka could warn both the earth kingdom villagers AND the fire nation soldier#it was important that the soldiers chose to lead everyone out - both fire nation and earth kingdom citizens#and for the northern air temple it was significant for aang to see how the mechanist was destroying/adapting the temple#but they just cut those both out in favor of saving time#this show has no idea what patience is#somehow they cut out a shit ton of stuff while expanding what was left into super long episodes that feel rushed in every scene#my biggest pet peeve with this is that iroh talks WAY too fast#iroh’s slow and calm speech patterns helped force zuko - impatient and angry zuko - to shut up and listen to his uncle#he’s also way too blatant about his treasonous thoughts WAY too soon#I think enough people have written about suki and sokka that I don’t need to expand on the botching of their characters#kyoshi and kyoshi island in general were botched too#also#KANNA WHY THE FUCK DID YOU NEVER GIVE THAT SCROLL TO KATARA#the excuse of ‘the fire nation will find out’ ONLY works if she and sokka thinks there’s a spy in the village#and a spy would potentially make sense canon wise (I haven’t gotten to katara’s full flashback yet)
