"and the four guys that watch this channel" hell yeah, i got a shout out

True balance is being a Suki Stan and an Azula Apologist

Katara was robbed of her rage. Sokka lost his character growth. Aang had none of his childish joy and naivety that made all of their interactions and learning to work together sooo good. Zuko retained his sass, his pain, his rage, but his scar definitely needed some work, it looked like a birthmark.

The Zuko guy is suuuuch a good actor. He portrays the feelings so good.

The cabbage guy is the same man who voices him in the anime

Zuko's and Iroh's story is the best thing about this show. Literally had me tearing up multiple times

I reeeeally liked that they showed that iroh's story is not just roses. I mean, he and his son KILLED people, you know? I love the development

“It’s not jet, isn’t it?” THE WAY I CACKLED

ash: "I'll try not to spoil too much" also ash 5min later: "so basically in season 2 and 3..."

fun fact: cabbage merchant is THE cabbage merchant from the animated!!!! same voice actor

WHERE IS PART 2 SIS, I'M DETERIORATING AND IT'S STILL NOT HERE, I NEED IT TO SURVIVE 😭😭😭😭

ITS BEEN MONTHS PLEASE FINISH THE SERIES IM WAITING 😭😭😭😭

15:23 “There will be no slander on this channel for Queen Katara.” I appreciate the love and support, Mother. 💜

the visuals are fantastic so i think what’s missing in this live action is the spark of the characters that we love so much. like for example with katara, she’s missing her iconic rage that was a big part of her character. with aang, he’s way too serious. and i get that the live action is more serious and that’s completely ok, but it’s taken away from aang being who he is, a kid who wants to have fun, while simultaneously trying to learn to be the avatar and not losing what’s left of his childhood. zuko on the other hand is absolutely perfect imo!

okay....we won't complain about Katara (my queen) BUT can we complain about the writing of HER in this? Cuz gurl...I have WORDS

Given how much negativity I've seen toward this series - the nicest reactions tend to be "it's okay I guess, but not as good as the original" - it's really refreshing to see someone who was a fan of the original and is also loving this version. I can't wait to see you tackle the rest of this season!

I hope Toph is done justice 🙏

33:34 tbf kyoshi is also over 7 feet tall she's not just a regular adult

There's some TERRIBLE fucking people commenting on the fire nation girls instagrams and socials, fat shaming and shit. That stuff needs to be called out.

My feelings of concern started as soon as we saw the Southern Air Temple in episode 1. Watching the reveal that Aang's people are all dead in the original shocked me as a kid. I feel like by showing it right off the bat takes away the mystery, and later on tragedy, of the situation. This raised the stakes big time, it showed the Fire Nation wasn't screwing around.

"I was about to say something so inappropriate... Lemme go ahead and say it." 😂

a whole hour long?? oh we are getting FED today

Finally, a true fan of the original series who is also able to appreciate this live-action remake for what it is. I am not a fan of live reviews but I love that you enjoyed this because there are many things to love about this show.

I love how Danny plays the mechanic, and I remember one episode of abed says how he had a dvd copy of avatar in the show… I can’t help but feel Danny loves the actual show!

I love feeling so seen by Ash calling out the “like 4 guys who watch the channel” lol

daddy issues showing in the first 32 secs mother 😭🖤

Aang going out for a midnight fly instead of full on running away from his responsibilities in fear completely crumbled the starting point for Aang's character and I don't know why they chose to do that 😭

stop not the ice spice "you thought I was feeling u" had me dying the tounge- 😭💀😭😭😭😭💀💀💀

46:42 Rufio, the leader of Lost Boys in Hook, was played by Dante Basco…who also voiced Zuko in the original Avatar.

“And to the four guys who watch this channel…” I’ve never felt so seen in my life, thank you.

If Zuko has been studying the Avatars and writing his book, how hasn't he heard about Roku's daughter 🧐

I haven't watched the show yet, but I do feel like people should cut Elizabeth (Azula's actor) some slack. She has some EXTREMELY BIG shoes to fill, they all do. Azula is literally psychotic, and living up to not only the original voice actor's portrayal, but also the animation where they contort the face and body in ways that are unnatural, is very hard. Let's not forget her final fight scene.👀

The Netflix adaptation had great visuals. They did Katara so dirty.

As a hardcore avatar stan. The first movie was a shit show, Netflix was..better but it still could never compare. They’re missing something with this but I can’t figure out exactly what. It’s just missing something

Zuko and Iroh are clearly the showrunners' favorites. The minor changes they did are great and so in line with their characters. Aang, Katara and Sokka on the other hand... All three are watered down versions. Aang lacks whimsy, wanting to goof around and he's all duty bound. Katara doesn't have her rage and passion---being the nagging yet loving mother of the group. Sokka gets all his development thrown out. The sexism element is a big deal as it is, but they also didn't really show him doing engineering machines, devising plans or strategies. They mentioned it once in the Omashu episode and didn't do anything with it. "Show, don't tell" not found.

ma'am i need pt 2 already

Katara went from a passionate girl with fire, drive, kindness and compassion to a soggy white bread.... These writers better be counting their days...

42:45 I’m glad you brought this up because I have been SAYING THIS… it’s exactly how I feel and everyone on tiktok is bashing the poor girl. A literal promotion video they were on on tiktok had to mute there comments because people wouldn’t shut up

i finished watching the first season today and catching up on all channels I'm subbed to that did a video about it and i love your part 1 sooo much. you are just having fun and enjoying it, just like I did! you pointing out all the goods while acknowledging flaws without shitting on the whole show. like a true internet mom! thanks for sharing your enjoyment and i can't wait for part 2!!

It's always fascinating to watch your reaction. You pull the pop card reference every time that always got me. Queen, make sure to continue the last 4 episodes as well.

28:30 There's only 4 guys that watch this channel? Hey to the other 3!!

35:22 Ashley said "not the bowing back... i'll get lower i'll get lower"🙇🏻‍♀️ Ashley mic "let me help that for you" ☄️

the way me and ashley have had the exact same reactions to EVERYTHING😭 i did not go into the show thinking ill like get while getting goosebump every couple of scenes😭😭

ASH! so excited you are watching the series! I was waiting for this! Love you. Love Avatar! And yes you HAVE to do a part 2! So excited to see you do the second half! ❤️🥰😍

personally i thought the acting and the visuals were really good, but the writing was very subpar and ended up trimming a good chunk of the meat off of all the characters and what made them (and the show) so lovable in the first place. it felt like throughout the season they were so focused on trying to convince the audience that a live action remake has potential and not enough time focusing on actually making it charming and worth falling in love with in the way that the animated version did. in other words, it was a lot of assuring the audience “don’t worry, we have muscles we can flex” and not enough of actually flexing those muscles. i completely understand why the original creators decided to depart from this remake, but i also want to just say that aang’s acting in particular was incredible. there were multiple times throughout watching where even though the writing had me feeling some type of way, i had to stop and just go “damn what good acting though”

The actor who played Sokka nailed it, he is the most like the character, and I love the Zuko Iroh duo, they are the real main characters of this show

I’m waiting for the next react video of this series patiently, queen!! I hope you been well and hope you been staying hydrated

i hope you post a part 2 reacting to the last 4 episodes!!! your video is super entertaining and seeing another avatar fan react to this show is super cool!!! absolutely love your reactions

If you don’t directly compare this show to the original you will have a great time, you can definitely tell they did put a lot of love in this adaptation and I’m glad it’s getting 2 more seasons :)

Ashley’s reaction to Kyoshi & Kyoshi warriors is SO MEEEE

Giiirrrlll, editing you is glowingggg!! Gorgeous!

You gotta make the part 2 this video brought me so much joy

I feel like the most saddest part in the original and also the live action show but specifically the original is that Angs family and civilization gets wiped out and then he gets frozen in time as a child to only wake up a hundred years later with that closure of be able to help his people , waking up a hundreds later to complet strangers and learning how to navigate this new world without any guidance as a 100 year old kid is rlly sad .

The Fire Nation is the best part about season one. Ozai playing on Azula’s insecurities so we get why she’s so obsessed in season 2 (instead of coming from nowhere), and Zuko & Iroh’s story. I love what the actor did with Zhao. I like the way they handled Sokka, he, Iroh & Zuko are the most accurate. I like that Bumi was mad that his friend, The Avatar, was gone when the world needed him so he held a grudge (like anyone would) and made him make tough decisions (but it’s Katara & Sokka to help Aang save Bumi proving he’s not doing it alone). And I like how they gave Suki more of a character than she ever had, having her wanting to see what was outside and Sokka “showing” her while still learning from the Kyoshi warriors. I also like the depictions of Jet, Roku, Kyoshi, Mai & Ty Lee in the few scenes they are in. It’s got its flaws, Katara mostly, a spirit knife?, Kuruk wasn’t necessary, Kyoshi seeing the future isn’t necessary as they need to learn waterbending, Katara vs Pakku could be a lot better, and Aang doesn’t learn waterbending.

been binge watching peoples reaction to this show but yours by far is the best hahaha love your charisma and goofiness. cant wait to see the rest of your reaction

ASHLEY, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 10 DAYS FOR A PART 2 OF THIS REACTION 😭 i just love your videos too much

“Reminds me of Hook, with Robin Williams” AND DANTE BASCO 🔥🔥🔥

As a part of The Four I have to say we love and appreciate your channel ❤

Ima need you to do a part 2 of this ❤️❤️

I hope you post the second half! I like hearing your commentary

If I could describe the live action version in one word, it would be impatient. They scrap a lot of the character flaws (Aang’s fear of responsibility with being the Avatar, Katara’s jealousy and stubbornness, Sokka’s biases and not being the best leader) bc they either just want to get to the action or their afraid of the audience disliking or disagreeing with our characters. Even Zuko has hints of his redemption right off the bat despite him being a straight up villain in season 1 (ie they switched Zuko burning down Kyoshis village with Zhao). And Azula and Ozai…are just completely different people. Azula would NEVER defy her father, but she gets redeemed in the comics after the series so we have to set that up RIGHT AWAY rather than naturally develop it and reveal her mental distress in season 3. Who has time for intricate character development when we got action scenes we gotta get to? (Also don’t even get me started on Zuko fighting back against his father. That for me solidified that these writers don’t understand ATLA at all)

Funny coincidence that I just rewatched you vid on the movie and thought "I wonder if/when she'll do the new one" Ash once again answering my prayers

please do more episodes! you're actually making me want to give the live action a chance

Ashleyyy i need part 2 now!!

Just wanted to say I'm one of the four guys that watch your channel and I love your content. You're awesome Ash, keep doing you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Omg yay! Glad you're reacting to this! Always Love your Reactions ❤

ASH PLEASSE PLEASEE DO A PART TWOOOO I LOVE YOUR REACTION TO THIS SERIESSSS IM ALSO A DIEHARD FAN OF THE ANIMATED SERIES AND WATCHING YOU REACT TO THE NEW LIVE-ADAPTAION IS LIKE WATCHING IT WITH YOUUUU

Please do a second part! I never wanted to give Netflix the views for this show for my own personal reasons, but would give YOU plenty of views no matter what!

It's SOOOO nice to see someone else enjoying this show - whatever technical gripes I have and maybe not all 100% perfect choices and some younger actors with smaller careers - I do really love the care that obviously went into it and I do hope people do try to appreciate the level they had to reach to even do this well! Edit: ommgggg I NEEED the reaction to the next FOUUURRRR episodes!!

I don’t think I saw this in past videos before, but I really love your editing style and inserts of your reactions while editing!

I really enjoyed this live-action so much!!

ASH OF COURSE WE WANT TO SEE YOUR REACTION FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW!! THIS ONE ALREADY HAD ME CACKLING SKSKSKSKSD LOVE YOU❤

I had to take a minute to watch the show before watching with you but I’M HERE NOW, and here for you finishing the season with us

Thankyou for making this video! I really wanted to hear what you have to say. Please do a part 2 🫶🏽

OMG Ash, the makup, the hair, everything is amazing.

iv been watching as many reactions to the funeral scene on KZfaq as i can and your delayed one and only hearing leaves from the vine while editing is my favourite

Girl! I need the other 4 episodes!👏👏👏

Girl, You already you KNOW you better be recording the rest of these videos!!! ❤ The arcs arent... my favorite. The dialogue exhausts me. But there was some scenes in this show that are so OUTSTANDING That I really can't hate it. But man..... there's some choices here

Our internet mom being a Suki-stan feels correct 💅🏾✨

I hope we're going to see your reaction and review for the rest of the season soon!

I dont think people remember how much slow motion was in the animation. it was always badass so doing slow mo in the live action I personally love. I love how u picked up on easter eggs a lot of other reactors didn’t. i had so much fun watching it again w u, im glad u did too. pls post the rest asap

I HAVENT WATCHED YOUR FULL VIDEO YET SINCE IM COMMENTING AS I WATCH BUT I TRUST FULLY WELL THAT YOU WONT BE TOO HARD ON THIS BC I REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES😭🙏

for me, its a solid 6.5-7/10. Hits all the marks that it needs to... but not all the marks that it could. Its fine. The cartoon will always be the way to experience this story tho.

Didn't even finishing watching the video but I already know Im gonna need your reaction for them all!

Yay! I was waiting for your reaction! Keep going I want to see what you think about the rest.

I WILL BE SEATED WAITING FOR PART 2 MOMMA

PART 2 QUEEN love u ash

yeah sis we need part 2!!😊

i loved the show sm as a kid and i rewatch it so often- i feel like to enjoy the new show, you cannot have the animated show in mind at all bc nothing will replicate it at all. the new show expands on things i never thought about, it’s really fun.

PLEASEEE watch the rest! your reactions have been my FAVORITE out of all that I've seen. I love how much fun you're having with it and how you've spent your time engaging with the live action instead of comparing it to the animated series the whole time. I'm an insanely big fan of the animated show and acknowledge that it is one of the best shows ever created, so I tried my best to divorce it from this series to give the live action a fair shake to do its own thing. It's near impossible to find other youtube reations that share in the same good faith. This was so fun to watch though!! I love how much you ate up Zuko's performance and JUST 👏 YOU 👏 WAIT 👏. It gets even better!! Ans honestly Azula is doing amazing. I'm apprehensive about how they're setting up her charcter so far but her actor is killing it. It'll be fun to see Ty Lee and Mai in action next season too.

When Ashley mentioned Sokkas misogyny in the show, I was like don’t you worry bestie we cut it out (aka one of the most crucial parts of his character)

ASH IMMA NEED THE NEXT 4 EPISODES ASAPPPPP

Excited for the part 2 ash!!!!
