I binged it today. It's definitely different than the animation and you have to keep that open mind to enjoy it. But, I think it gets pretty good by the halfway point. I loved the last episode.

“I thought Zuko was more convincing in the anime” - Spartan 😂😂

I agree with pudgey. Zuko is the most convincing out of all of them. Both who loves and hates the adaptation are saying that Dallas is the stand out and it's so true.

Showing us the attack on the air nomads was such a brilliant decision I loved this series and I think they've done a great job!

Was i the only one who literally cried for those scenes with Aang and Gyatso and when he remembered him in the avatar state? 😭

As such a big fan of the animation I was excited but nervous for this. But after watching the whole season I loved it. The casting was great, zuko for me was the stand out. Loved him in this

When I saw this trailer, the actor who plays Aang looks like my son. I googled Gordon, so he is of Filipino descent. My son is half Filipino and has same big eyes and eyebrows. So proud to see more Filipino especially since Dante Basco is iconic VA for Zuko. The casting for Sokka and Katara were spot on. I love this journey with you guys, just seemed like we finished the series not too long ago

The casting is spot on, especially for Sokka. The personalities are dead on. There were some liberties taken with the story to help compact it but I don't mind them, so far.

For me, Pudgey is giving off Ty Lee vibes. All the giggling and fun personality is such blessing to see.

the coolest thing is that this is no more a 'kids show" so they can upgreat the bending in a brutal way and kill.

Honestly I can’t complain about this Live Action. It’s amazing, keeping our mind open to get more information about this world is the key 🔑 Such a great reaction ❤

Any scene with Gyatso made me sob 💔🥺....it was so hard to know the pain that was coming

People need to accept Korra as an amazing show. It's my favorite, too, of both shows, but both shows are truly amazing and magical

Wow, I've watched it already few times, and it's amazing! I fell in love with this beautiful series! Fantastic live-action adaptation! I can't wait for the next season! Love the action, adventure, drama, the emotional twist, fantasy, and comedy-all in one! Amazing cinematography, amazing special effects, those animals, spirit animals just amazing, and their powers, the visuals look great and the backgrounds look fantastic! They're all amazing! Gordon is a brilliant, fantastic actor for his young age, and he is so cute; he has a million-dollar smile too. Dallas is a versatile actor, he's amazing actor. Kiawentiio and Ian are amazing too. Paul, and Daniel are very good too. All the cast members are really doing a great job. Congratulations! This is the best live-action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender so far!♥️

Absolutely loved your reaction to the first episode. I personally think they did an amazing job with the world and everything. It's not 100% linear but it's never the less, lovely and refreshing.

so far I LOVE YOUR REACTION by far among everyone else's I LOVE THE POSITIVITY KEEP IT UP

If you want to enjoy it. Seperate it from the anime. It's the same story but in different parts. It's fantastic as its own thing. There's a few what tf moments and the past avatars aren't it and some of the spirit world scenes aren't it but apart from that. I gave it a solid 7. The world itself is beautiful and the characters are amazing. I'm wanting season 2 and will definitely rewatch. The backstory and lore added is very good. Hope you enjoy 😊😊

A new word has been invented: Sokkarsm, sarcasm of Sokka

Gran Gran was a very good portrayal of an Inuit person [that's what the water tribe was supposed to be based on] but not so good a match to the way she was in the animation. I base that on having seen a number of actual Inuit people talking in a couple documentaries and they sounded just like her, the same kind of delivery. Now the actress in this case is not Inuit, she is of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, but she did sound very much the way I would expect Gran Gran to sound in real life.

Alsoooo, it’s nice to be back on this train with you guys and everyone. It’s like getting the family back together

I've only watched 2 episodes, but I love what I've seen. Yes, some of the writing is a bit odd, and I don't think it's the actor. Like when Katara says, "The Fire Nation hasn't approached the Southern Water Tribe...", like yeah, you could've said, "The Fire Nation hasn't been around here for years." And when Aang was saying, "I love playing with my friends, eating banana pie, etc", it could've been blocked better. He shouldn't been kicking around some rocks, or using his airbending on them while contemplating. It seemed more like he was in a stage play instead of being on screen. So yeah, I'm loving the show and I can't wait to see more. But already with 2 episodes, I can say I CAN'T WAIT to see a season 2 and 3! I really want to see Netflix's vision of ATLA until the end.

Spartan is still warming up to our main firebenders. Sokka's level of irony there 🤣

It exceeded my expectations ❤❤❤ now excited to watch you two enjoy this journey too. We are finally getting the adaptation we deserve 🎉

It starts off different and it takes some getting time getting used to but the later episodes are absolutely fantastic in my opinion, it feels like avatar without having to be a carbon copy of the cartoon, even tho some scenes and lines are word for word

I agree with Pudgey. I think Zukko feels the most like Zukko at of all of the characters we’ve met so far

I love that they made Gyatso siphon the air in the room

My wife and I have only watched the first episode so far and we loved it, despite the changes. The backstory was great, airbenders being able to fly was weird but ok, the visuals were outstanding, GranGran's speech being the exact same as the original opening speech (at least in Brazilian Portuguese, idk in other languages) was great and so on. Looking forward to it and we don't really mind some changes as long as they maintain the essence

I couldn’t stop laughing when he said brothers and sisters we are under attack😂

Great timing for you guys.

One thing they did well is making the Fire Nation actually appear menacing. Also, in the animated series, Aang comes onto the scene making a joke of all the villains, Zuko included. So far, Zuko seems like a skilled warrior. Even Katara is already showing growth, whereas in the animated show her skills came pretty much out of nowhere near the end of the first book. I do appreciate how they’re handling these things in the live action.

I personally struggled the most with the actress who played Katara. Very stiff and monotone to me. And sadly Katara in the anime is my favorite due to her emotional range. So really hoping that the actress fixes that for the next season. As for Zuko, conflicted. Hoping he’ll win me over in time.

7:19 Immediately cried when I saw the Southern Air Temple

Wow was not expecting this. My thoughts exactly is that this is a really good adaptation imo. Better than the film that’s for sure.👍🏼 Oh forgot to mention that this show is gonna be a bit more brutal in a sense. But yea some details and scenes are absent probably for pacing reasons. But also this first episode is a really good start for those who are new to the series. Also Zuko will grow on you just like it did for me.

I am with Pudgey about who captured their animated counterpart better, but I think Sokka is the front-runner, then Zuko, followed by Aang and Iroh. Katara is a bit of a mix, but Granny is just an exposition dump, so there isn’t much to her. The rest did their part well. I only wish the dialogue were written organically rather than how the way it is presented. I mean, this will work well in animation, but even the animated series were so well written. That is why the animated Avatar: The Last Air Bender is so beloved.

*I'm only about halfway through the live action so far and im thoroughly impressed. going into this the only hopes i had left (since the movie) was a decent casting and good effects, which they definitely delivered! 😁 It even had this level of darkness to it like we got from TLOK series. and like yea sure they mixed some timeline stuff together, its still a great show imo😂*

Other then that LOVED the Earth Bending in the beginning of the series by that Actor.

I really enjoy this!! Its way better than i expected!

Hell yeah! Can't wait for you to see the other episodes. Thank you for your reaction, looking forward to more of your content 🤩🤩

you guys are literally the best

I binged the season as well. I’d give the season 8.5/10. There are some things I wasn’t a fan of, but I did love this episode. 10/10!!❤️

I binged the other day. Better than any other adaptation. I look forward to season 2

Bending extras… 1 - water bending, ice bending, ice discs/bullets, blood bending, power of the full moon 2 - air bending, suffocation, flying, pure hearts create more power 3 - earth bending, sand bending, metal bending, earth disks/bullets Fire bending, lightning bending, power of sozins comet every 100 years, true breath of fire instead of anger, weakened by eclipses…. Fire sucks

5:17 that's the best laugh I've heard in a while lol

I've watched the first two episodes, and I love it so far.

Rock bending is actually a music style. Its main sub-bending skill is Heavy Metal Bending.

Watched all 8 Episodes today. My score for the series is a 9/10 across the board. Definitely recommend, will be showing and watching with my 8yr old daughter once she is home from school on Friday and over the weekend. 1) They show the air nomad deaths, so to adults, watch first 20 minutes before kids. Otherwise kids can watch once Aang is in ice. 2) This is not a copy of the original. 8 Live action episodes to tell story of 20 cartoon episodes. Episode 6 of original looks like it will be in season 2. Season 2 episode 2 of original is added into season 1. 3) The first episode is the first 3 episodes together with the deaths of the air nomads. 4) Original cartoon Episodes 4, 5, 7-10, 12, 13, 15, and 17 have their essential episode essence represented, in episodes 2 through 6 of the live action. A lot of things are re-ordered. Some things are expanded You will see parts of things from a recognizable episode mashed with events from other episodes. 5) Watch the entire thing before judging. Sometimes you will think something was forgotten only to learn, that the other parts or viewpoints of a given episode are in a follow-up episode. The way the episodes are mashed together means the story jumps between events of various episodes, so the representation of one episode might occur across 2 or 3 episodes; or there may be an intervening episode. 6) Do Not PreJudge. The format is different than the original cartoon, initially the order will seem odd. Just hang in with it, overall it does work. 7) Episodes 11, and 14 are not shown, but pay attention anytime Zuko, Iroh, or Zhou get a report. The events of those episodes are mentioned but it’s a one time blink, or talk and you will miss it. These episodes have indirect representation in the series. The honorable mentions in the reports made me laugh while watching. 8) The Jeong Jeong part of Episode 16 might occur in season 2, or 3 without Zhou. Jeong Jeong is not in season 1 of this live action. 9) The last 2 episodes of the Netflix Live action have been mashed together and reorder the events of original cartoon episodes 18-20. The Katara vs Paku fight is Wow! 10) Koh will appear far earlier than expected. and not when or how fans expect. He is still a creepy, freaky, and dangerous spirit. They expand Koh’s role to include some of the lore with him from the comics as well. He is voiced by George Takei (Sulu from 1966 Star Trek). 11) The original voice actor of the cabbage man, plays and is the cabbage man in this Netflix live Action series!! 12) The previous 3 avatars and ocean spirit La, at points will be given permission by Aang to use him as a channel. Kyoshi is obvious. Many people apparently missed when Roku did so. Pay attention, do not miss it by talking or by being distracted by what Roku is showing and teaching Aang. Kurik will refuse. La’s turn is OBVIOUS. 13) Azula’s machinations are definitely as evil as Ozai’s. Yes Azula learns lightning bending before the end of season 1. She is far darker than the original cartoon.

Freaking loved the show! My 1 and only note, is Katara's acting is veryy stiff throughout but im sure it will be fixed by season 2 ❤

Oh I missed you guys! I watched the entire season last night. I have my own pro and cons on the series right now but in general I enjoy it and will re watch it.

Nice reaction. I agree with Spartan on Zuko. I’m only 2 eps though and am out for drinks with mates atm. But overall I like the cast but after 2 eps I’m not totally sold on Zuko, which was my favorite character from the original. I recommend not reading too many comments and reviews as I assume you’re not binging the entire show. And yes the bending looked way better than the movie :insert a gif of the 6 earth benders doing 5 moves together to have a small rock float across the screen

Funny to see how differing in opinions you both are of Zuko. Seems like a divisive performance. I think Zuko's voice along with Iroh's are iconic. I think Dallas Liu did a bang up job as Zuko. Dude smashed it

Watched the last episode today. I laughed, and I cried. There were bits I loved and some parts I wasn’t overly big on, but the main takeaway is that I enjoyed it.

Zuko in book 1 is a very different Zuko. It's always jarring watching the show from the beginning and being like "Who's this Zuko??" because he does change so much by the end. He was pretty angsty and 1-dimensional, almost annoyingly so, in book 1. So I think this version is doing just fine! We'll get all the good character development in Season 2.

Can we please build up the Southern Air Temple. Can we have them go into the room where all of the past Avatars are. Can we have Aang be fixated on Avatar Roku and if you want have him be fixated on both Avatar Roku and Kyoshi that would’ve been better. Can we have Mo Mo being chased and caught and then have Aang discover Gyatso’s body. Can we please F’N wait for Aang to accept his role as The Avatar. Netflix you are so stupid.

Remember something like 'lord of the rings' is an ADAPTATION of a book. You all know how annoying it is to have somone that read the books, yelling about how much stuff is different. We have to remmber that this isnt the animated series, and thats ok. It did a great job at getting a lot of things accurate, while also telling the story in its own way. Loved being able to see the avatar gang back in action regardless of how its executed. (Minus that movie. We dont talk about that)

Look like "Order 66"

Hey, new sub here! Just binged you guys' entire animated ATLA & I love ur takes on this live action version compared to others bc most ppl having been heavily comparing the live action to the animated version but they're both good in their own ways. Keep up the awesome reactions ❤

I love your guys reaction and i love Avatar live action show.I’m loving this show.

I feel like the acting and beginning in general was alright but it really does improve all around as the show progresses. I was pretty engrossed by the end of the season. I can knit pick some details I would have loved to have included (like Sokka’s war face paint and wolf hood missing in this episode) but it still works for me. I really hope we get the whole series adapted.

I doubt anyone watching a reaction to a series is a first time watcher? I could be wrong. I think zuko was convincing. A lot of us know Zuko has heart, we know that he is really a good guy, so that could give us a perceived notion. I really loved seeing the back story of the start of the war.

Some of the best stuff Netflix brought to life. I have some grips but overalll it rocks... Zuko actor fan, he killed it.

We are back 🙌🙌

I think Zuko is definitely the best of all the actors. I’ve definitely struggled to connect to the other actors. Maybe it’s the way the dialog is written but most of the scenes with the actors sit like a first cut. The loved the bending & cinematography ❤❤ very beautiful.

Finally waiting for y’all’s reaction

Dude. I cried so much 😭

aang didn't run away he just wanted to be alone

Welcome back guys

I already binged it and i believe that both Spartan and Pudgey will like it... 8 episodes felt short but still they manage all the important points... the best moment goes to the The Agni kai onscreen between father and son

i agree 100% with Pudgey, for me Zuko was the most convincing of them all, i felt that he portrayed the animated version so well, i am on the fence with some scenes with Aang, Katara and Sokka.. but definitely Gran Gran was not there for me. She was the weakest in terms of acting, i am kind of glad that she doesnt appear much on the show lol.

12:54 literally my reaction to that scene also

Okay so the later episodes make all the changes worth it, absolutely recommend you watch all of it and then judge the final product. Over all I think it works pretty well and i had a lot of fun watching it!!

I love pudgey's skin tone ❤and love the reactions ! Loves the show 😄

Spartan And Pudgey Awesome Video/Episode Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

It's not the best thing ever, but is good. Really, really good!

Imagine how brave you would have to be totravel inn that lil ssa boat in the ocean knowing the type of monsters that exist in this universe

The legend of Korra in my eyes was the best

I just finished episode 4, so i completed half of the show over the weekend. It does improve and i got to say i loved episode 4. You can't totally compare this to the animated series, just like One Peice was when that came out. They mix things up in the series. I believe you'll love this show.

3:38 I COMPLETELY AGREE! For some people, animated content just isn't for them, but if a good world and story can be told out of it that an audience can appreciate, why not create a live action version to convey that story? If it's done well, people may be curious enough to check out the animated series. 21:38 nice edit! Thanks for that!

I was surprised with episode 2--and I loved the changes. Episode 4 got me teary eyed especially that scene at the fields with Iroh and the Earth Bender. Then the finale made me gasp with how epic it was. I honestly can't wait for season 2. This got me the same feels when I watched One Piece. Netflix is really killing their animated adaptations.

Oh I was waiting for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

The child actors did a really great job I thought despite all the expectations

Just looking at Katara and thinking, "She's gunna bloodbend one day!" Lol

Spartan, I felt the same about Zuko. I felt like he wasn’t as angry as he is in the animation. I think that’s what made him less believable to me.

When i stoped comparing it to the animation, I actualy liked it. I hope they get to finish it.

I love it from the start so 😅

honestly, it's not that bad, I need Netflix to make season 2 but they need to fix a few things.. + The cast did a better job especially Aang, Uncle Iroh, June, Zhao, Gyatso, June, Zuko, and lord Ozai.. + The CGI is sooooooooo good, the bending, the animals, the places all are good - Sokka, Katara, and Azula need to improve their acting (especially Katara and Azula, Katara needs braver, meanwhile Azula needs to be fiercer and evil) - I know they limit on budget but don't mix a few episodes into 1 episode, maybe they can make 2 episodes into 1 episode but don't make 4 episodes into 1 episode..

Omg. I can’t wait to watch your reaction to the second episode. 🫣

Ok it's official...I need to see a Last Airbender movie reaction. It is so horrible and you might go into it being like "hey, it's probably not that bad"...well it's worse. And that's exactly why I need to see it lol

"Rock bending"? I know it was a brain fart but cmon Spartan. 😂😂😂

I gotta say the world building and the bending were really great. The acting needs improvement in a direction perspective. Honestly the kids are doing well - some of the adults were lacking in my opinion, unfortunately. I’m hopeful the future seasons step up

Appa MVP, they nailed it

I had planned to binge this weekend but I couldn't wait to see your reaction. I liked your reaction to the animated series. I am anticipating this live action more than the live action Lord of the Rings after knowing only the 1978 animated LOTR version.

Good reaction ..I will sub to this channel now

Flameo, Hotman! I got emotional thinking about Iroh’s story. Can’t wait!

of course everyone loves Mormor 😁☮

It's Avatar day again!

😂😂😂 The way you both compete on who makes the best Avatar

Finished today and give it a 4/10

I haven't seen it all yet, but I believe most of the criticism of the series so far kind of sidesteps the fact that almost all of the high notes are in book 2 and 3 of the original series but everyone wants it to be amazing immediately. I am happy to be patient and see how they do.

Felt like a pretty decent adaptation! Solid 6/10 in my book depending on the episode. Glad they’re getting a second season, although I feel like that’$ a given.
