Not just the acting was bad. Dialogues were bad. They were dull because there is no character development. Sokka was sexist: - Called Katara doing strange female stuff - And Katara retorted. - Told Suki "No way a bunch of girls defeated us!" - Suki retorted "Inagi is going to feast well tonight!" - Katara said to Suki "Ignore my brother..." - Suki makes Sokka pay for being proudfull and only accept to train him after he is dressed like a girl, tells Sokka "The strongest warrior in your village huh? Common girls wouldn't you like him to show us" - she appeals to his HUGE ego to crush him. These stuff were all reased. - Sokka no longer sexist. No funny dialogues with neither Katara nor Suki. No more lessons to learn here as he always behaves like a perfect model brother. Katara used to be frustrated with Aang because Aang is a natural talent, and because of that frustation she becomes Aang masters, as she seriously wanted to learn and be better than Aang. Now Katara is already better than Aang. Aang is completely destroyed as the only thing that he could possible have - wisdom - he appologizes to Katara about not being wise enough to train her, making him completely pointless. Azula used to be cold reason, perfect psychopath without any remorse, now she is weak and frustrated with Zuko. May is fat, and this fat promotion is like promoting sickness. "Yes it's OK to be FAT, yes BE FAT, GET SICK, DIE YOUNG, don't you dare feel bad about being fat, we don't want you to live a long happy life. We need you to live a long fatness life full of sickness because we like you being fat and sick!" So that's what the problem is, when you remove the faults of each character, each character has no growth and the show becomes dull and boring. Acting is the least of the problem. Dialogues are. Politically correctness is the problem.

Katara is so 2024 & doesn't even needs a master, Completely took out Sokka's character arc, Iroh is no more than a tea drinking fatman (0 wisdom), Roku 404 not found , Kyoshi blaming a 12 year old for running away from sudden responsibilities, Avatar doesn't needs to master Water anymore he is no more than an ultimate warrior. Zhao is a joke, completely took out the spirituality and wisdom from the old series and replaced with Netflix garbage writing. this is a pure example of just because they look like the character its not enough. No wonder the Creators left the show!

you just have to see it from another view if they made it just like the show it would be cringy and things of that nature . It’s realistic like in real life it’s how it would be yall want it to be perfect and that really can’t happen . It’s the best they could do I love it compared to the old shit where they breakdanced to bend 1 rock . appreciate it . Azula is more like a 14 year old instead of a 17 year it seems like in the show I thought she was zukos older brother . They changed the plot too but they had their reasons and they showed it like with his mentor leaving to the spirit world on some oogway timing because he would’ve died and told aang he would’ve died too instead of the show he was noisy heard them and ran away with guilt . overall it’s great , if your a avatar fan you’ll love it regardless .

In order to gain the abity to fly you neef to let go of the mortal attachment to the world. I watched the OG cartoon when i was 9 years old way back in 2005. And loved it so much, because the message it gives to the younge audience. How to control your emotions,discipline and respect towards others. This rendition is no more than a Hollywood cash grab

I just finished the entire Avatar Live action, and unfortunately. I will say I did enjoy the first episode. But I did not enjoy this adaptation. This felt WAY too rushed. They took story lines and elements from the future of the episodes, changing the dynamics of characters and removing important story lines that play a huge part in the future. Also, I did not like the disrespect they did to the past Male Avatars(Roku and Kuruk). They gave the spotlight to Avatar Kyoshi. I dont hate they gave more to Kyoshi, I just dont like there is 0 mention of the most recent Avatar before Aang (Roku) until very late in the show and Roku feels like a completly different character. He is the avatar who is supposed to be Aangs main go-to for the show but they made him into a joke charater. Azula was also big problem for me. She was introduced soo early and she did NOT insinuate the battle of the Nothern Water Tribe. She also is supposed to have Blue fire when we first meet her but she has Red??!? Why does she have red then it slowly turns Blue in a singular scene? Another thing that bugs me was Bumi. Aang finds out that the King of Omashu is Bumi way too early. Not to mention Bumi doesn't feel like Bumi. He blames Aang too much for what happens and his reasoning to giving Aang the trials are different. In this it feels like Bumi wanted to torment Aang not help him by thinking outside the box when it comes to fighting the firelord and stopping the fire nation from destroying the world, which is also not brought up at ALL. The entire reason Team Avatar is on this journey is because Roku(who was disrespected) told Aang about Sozens Comet and he has to master the 4 elements by the end of summer. Which is also the whole reason why the go to the Northern Water Tribe. Aang needs to find a Water Bending Master so he can stop the Firelord. After watching this I can see why the creators of Avatar left

They can make as many seasons as they want , idk why they’re rushing.Also, I hate the girl they’ve casted as Azula the most bc she looks innocent, she doesn’t embody the character well. They needed to cast someone with a fierce look. Azula in the cartoon look very evil and fierce. Also Bumi’s body is supposed to be very fit and muscular looking. The live action bumi did t look that fit. There are so many things that is off, hopefully the next season is better and not rushed.

Here's the thing I did not go into this series thinking "This series is going to suck if its not a shot for shot live action remake of the animated show." Truthfully I don't think anyone else expected that either. The biggest thing I enjoy about this show is the conveyance of emotion. The Shyamalan movie was so devoid of emotion. So obviously the live action show is better than the movie. I think it would be impossible to do worse than the movie. I also highly appreciated the overall esthetic of the show from the look of the characters to the environment and the bending. It all looks stunning. I appreciate seeing the other Avatars in action. In the animated show Roku had a few action sequences and Kyoshi didn't have any action scenes except for one which was the creation of her Island which was awesome but, its still only one time we actually got to see her in action. She mostly provided exposition. So I enjoyed the other Avatars getting some more action scenes. I think giving the other Avatars a bigger role to play in Aang's journey is a good way to create a point of difference between the animated show and the live action show. Hopefully we see more of Avatar Roku in season 2. Now its time for the not so good things. The acting needs some work. Like I said everyone looks good and everyone emoted really well but, I admit the acting feels very much like a live action Nickelodeon sitcom. Its too hokey but, if you're into Nickelodeon sitcoms then you can enjoy the performances well enough. I agree that Iroh needs some serious enlightening because he's still not wisdom-y enough and I do see that as a problem because Iroh will be a very important main character in this show. Overall I'd give the show a 6/10 it actually exceeded my expectations but, there's a fair amount of work to do. Maybe with some time and hard work the series can be really good.

@@Khairan99 You think that's the reason? It isn't that the original animated series is beloved and people wanted a good live action adaption? What does the American thing have to do with anything? One piece was based off of an anime and the live action version of that is far superior to the Last Air Bender adaption. This avatar adaption sucks, and I don't care where it was produced. If it was good, I would say so. But, it isn't. As for the original poster saying he wasn't expecting a 1 to 1 adaption, I wasn't either. I'll talk about One Piece again... it wasn't 1 to 1 either, but it honors the tone, and the changes tend to actually be good and don't undercut the character's motivations. Avatar on the other hand changes things for the hell of it, and it often undercuts the development of the characters.

@@ChaoticRad I appreciate your viewpoint. If this was another Last Airbender movie I would agree with you 100% but, because it is a series we need to judge it on a different set of criteria than we would for a movie. Like I said I don't think this series sucks. It definitely needs some work and the actors need to settle into the characters. For example I liked the spinoff of That 70s show That 90s show. I have said the same thing for both shows. Aesthetically the show looks great. It looked just how I remembered it if not a bit better. The issue was the actors need the time to settle into their characters. Both shows need time to grow and get better. I see the potential. The Last Airbender movie did so much harm to the franchise that it's made you think a faithful adaptation was not possible. I was 100% sure of that too. As soon as I saw Aang I knew this was better than the Shyamalan mess. So I decided to let go of my anger, fear, and misconceptions and I enjoyed the show.

I hated alot bout this show, but lemme quickly point out in defense of the actor playing ozai, that the reason ozai felt so deep in the original series is that they kept him a mystery and we had to wait over 40 episodes b4 actually seeing his face, i actually remember even when i finally saw him in season 3 i did feel a little underwelmed(that is until i saw what he could do in the eclipse episode) By bringing ozai earlier like they did in this Netflix show, you removed that mystic and aura and thats why the character felt toned down, not the actor
@paulbrown9328
@paulbrown9328 5 ай бұрын
I hard disagree, I think seeing Ozai early is better for live action. For one we actually get to see him being a menace. Waiting until book 3 could fall short in live action especially to newcomers watching. And it also gives more weight to zuko that we actually see how his father treats him. Also Ozai using zuko as a pushing ground for Azula also shows just how much of bad he is. It will also put more weight on Azulas side in the final Agni Kai since it seems azula has a bad disdain and rivalry with zuko specifically outside of just being crazy.

And all he ever talks about is "I need to help" and "I can never let bad things happen again", idk i just really didnt like the acting and how they didnt show any depth in character building. The continuity is also very off and confusing at times. Like anng is in a rush to save sokka and katara from Koh but then hes gone for at least a day and a half? And then he needs that thing to give back to koh and i dont even know how he gets it and sokka and katara are suddenly saved. there are so many examples like that. the shows writing was so bad. I will say zukos plot line is wayyyyy better than the gaangs, and those parts are much easier to follow and enjoyable. dallas does a good job of zuko given the terrible pacing and script.

The ONLY part I truly enjoyed was when Iroh explains to the sailors that zuko saved their lives when he spoke out of turn in the military briefing. It makes sense that the fire lord would banish the 41st battalion along with zuko since zuko defended them. This was a great example of how they could expand the amazing lore of the show. It turn out the original writers wrote that scene which makes sense why it was so good. The rest of the show is hot garbage water.

Jet's actor would have been a perfect Zuko, Suki and Azula should have swapped actors, and the near death of momo was just cheap as hell and upsetting for the wrong reason. The original story is so quietly beautiful, the characters are real, flawed, and you care so much about them. This was so sadly disappointing.

The guy who plays Iroh actually has done a lot of voice work for the original series as far as side characters like for example he played the first fire ending teacher Aang had when he burned kataras hands and can change his voice and everything. So it was shocking that who ever was directing let him do it in his own voice and didn’t add that old iroh rugged and spiritual touch. Especially when u have practice as a voice actor to do that.

it is so painful to witness, I just wish I could unsee the live action... there's no wow-factor... no emotion... no chemistry... nothing that can make it memorable like the og show... it's astoundingly depressing, becuase i can't unsee this abomination... Gyatso, the greatest airbender in the world, didn't even put up a fight that lasted more than ten seconds... In the original show, Gyatso was surrounded by the bodies of almost a platoon of firebenders... Bumi is portrayed as a salty, dumb old man who blames his 12-year-old friend (a literal child) for running away instead of a nutty yet very wise and understanding old friend who gives guidance to Aang to be a better Avatar... Katara is supposed to be the most mature of the group, very headstrong, brave, and sturdy like a rock. Yet she's also caring and maternalistic, like a mother. She's a very remarkable female character who has faith in everyone and never refuses to turn her back on people who need her. I say everybody should have a sister or even a mother like Katara. That is how brilliant Katara's character is. Not a submissive little sister who needs to be looked after by her big brother, like how they portrayed her in the Netflix Live Action. Airbending seemed okay, but a lot more improvement is needed to show the full potential of airbending (not good enough). Earthbending doesn't have any solid martial art choreography and stance that makes it look like Earthbending. It just looks like people using telekinesis to chuck rocks at each other, like Magneto in X-men. Appa should have more character, as he's a very important member of the team that carries the whole gang on his back throughout the entire show. By the way, I didn't know Momo died because I didn't care to watch more episodes of Netflix's Live Action bullcrap... I am actually fuming at the showrunners right now 😠👿.

People need to learn that animation is film, animation will never be replaced with a better version. I’d say it’s a bit rude to think we always need a live action version, we don’t.

There’s no excuse. The directors truly said, “fvck it you look like the character, HIRED”. Ridiculous. I wouldn’t even be mad if the actors didn’t look completely identical to the animation if it meant we got STELLAR ACTING!!! Soooo disappointing and wasn’t worth the wait or hype. I hope this series gets cancelled and doesn’t get the green light. I’m constantly annoyed because all of this energy focused on trash live-actions, trash mobile games, trash Nintendo switch games….. and the whole time we keep asking for ANIMATION!!!!! wtf bro?!?!

And for Season 2 they can look back at season 1 and better themselves. The seeds are planted now let them grow. Besides they only got a maximum budget and with that amout of money they had to be very creative. Lets give this Netflix Show a chance and let them get a higher amount of budget to repair the mistakes.

Honestly, I enjoyed it. I recently rewatched the original series, all 3 seasons, before this came out and I thought it was pretty good. I know they changed around a lot of the story, but it was an ok change and it didn't ruin the flow of the show. I was worried they weren't going to put one character in there, because the live action movie didn't, but they did and I was happy and some of the new stuff they put in here was a welcome creative idea to show. In fact, there were a couple of them that surprised me. It's does way better than the Halo Live Action Adaption because you feel the respect the show gave to the characters and the franchise so I highly recommend watching this. I would give it a good 8/10.

I think it was OK, mid but not terrible. The acting however is very problematic, at least half of the cast couldn’t act if their life depended on it, although sometimes it’s writing and directing issues. Aang, Sokka, Zuko, Ozai - their acting is really good, I really like them. Katara’s actress however… I’m sorry but Kiawentiio’s performance is simply bad, I couldn’t care less about her character throughout the show while in the original animation Katara’s character is outstanding. The writing also doesn’t do her any good service - the fact that she just becomes a master waterbener with a few weeks of self-training from scatch is just cringe, it makes me care even less about her. Iroh’s actor is not bad, but again bad direction and writing just made him a very bland character. However the biggest disappointment for me was Master Paku - it was a travesty. In the animation he is cocky and sarcastic and overall leaves an impression to be remembered, in this live-action he is just boring. Besides, if Master Paku isn’t going to train anyone anyway, neither Aang, nor Katara, what’s even the point of existence of his character? He also has no relation to Gran Gran which again takes away from the dynamic between him and Katara (it’s pretty much nonexistent in this show). And once again, in the second season we are probably going to have a time skip (which was confirmed multiple times by the producers of the show) and if that’s the case then why not let Paku train Katara and Aang at least for some time, you know exactly as it was in the original instead of just giving it all in Katara’s hands who barely knows anything about waterbending and is just good at this out of the blue? The upside for me was surprisingly the dynamic between Ozai, Azula and Zuko, overall the fire family storyline overshadows everything that was going on with Aang - that was one of the few things I really liked. I’m kind of skeptical about this new portrayal of Azula where we see her as very flawed and conflicted from the get-go as opposed to the animated series where she is just perfect and unbreakable up until the very end where she snaps but we’ll see how it goes.

We need a GOT budget level with the original creators as the directors for there to be a live action

Thinking the original could be topped is unrealistic!!! Some changes had to be made, they changed a little bit too much. Some of the actors was good and some bad. Visuals were good. Overall a good adaptation that I enjoyed, could have been better but it wasn't bad!!

They can’t do the comet any sooner like they did in the animated show… in the series the entire plot takes place over the course of one year… and that’s fine because animated characters don’t age… but this is live action, and you can’t write, film, and produce an entire three season show in live action in one years time… the kid actors are going to age over the course of this series visibly… there’s no way of knowing how long it will take for seasons 2 and 3 to make. So it would be weird if the show pretends it’s only happening over the course of one year, when the 11 year old aang is suddenly 17 by season 3… and aang would need to master the elements quickly to end the war, because the longer he takes to become a master, the more people will continue to die in the war… the comet deadline will likely be introduced in season three to put pressure on aang to master fire bending. I’m not saying that I disagree with your opinions completely. There are many changes to this show that I personally didn’t like, but I’d say it’s still pretty good overall… I understand that they had to work in some of the smaller story lines to fit them into the 8 episode runtime they were given. Combining some of the different stories felt a bit off, but I feel like they still managed to include the important parts in a way that believable. I don’t know… I enjoyed it for the most part, and can’t wait for season 2…

I give this series 7/10 not so bad but not great The best part for me it was visuals and the bending and also the actors of Zuko, Aang and sokka The bad part for me was that kioyshi replaced Roku has Aang advisor and the fact that Katara could waterbend without a master

Well to be fair, in the original show, Katara did learn to be a powerful waterbender without a master. Remember, Pakku refused to train her until after she fought him and nearly beat him but basically had to learn all those waterbending technique herself. So the live action show did get that part right.

I do not understand why people give 7/10 to most average shows tbh. My rating scale goes like this:1-2/10=garbage, doesn't even deserve viewing. 3-4/10=the it's so bad it's fun category 5-6/10=it's a average. Has some good qualitues, some not so good qualities. Won't be remembered 7-8/10=it's great, but something is lacking 9-10/10=perfect, or very small nitpicks. For me, avatar lands right in a high 5 or low 6. I do not think that, in 5 years it will be remembered. It has some solid moments, but it is average

1:30 Well perhaps you shouldn't binge watch a workday's worth of TV then. It was as good as it's going to get in 2024, did I have gripes with it, several, my major one being the characterisation of Bumi, but otherwise, I enjoyed it very much.

In my opinion I mostly disagree with the comments on this video. I for one never expected this interpretation to match or even never thought I could compared the orginal animated series with this interpretation. The animated series will always be on it's own class/league and as many other re-makes on other first time series they can never give you the same experience. I think many had unlealistic expectations going into it instead of looking at it for what it is. "A different interpretation of the same story" And yes there is stuff we can all be critical about/nick pick and things we could say "I would have done it differently". I think for the most part a first time comer would be fine with it. And over all I think it was alot better than other attempts that we don't even waht to speak about....... Just my opinion.

Seeing that we may never get a good live action version of Avatar. This is a step up from the previous movie version. I enjoyed it for what it was, because now I see even with this one, the animated version is just the best way to experience this story. I don't think anyone else will spend the money to make another live action version after this one. #Ijs,🤔😉
