The characters of Avatar the last airbender at the series premiere

[pursemongerstuff]

( SPOILERS AHEAD) Things that will haunt me about the new live-action Avatar, the Last Airbender show:

Iroh being confronted by his past as a fire nation general and war criminal. Of course, Iroh is a cog in the machine of war that he’s part of and he’s changed his ways since, but that doesn’t change what happened in Ba Sing Se under his leadership.

Sokka overhearing Hakoda being disappointed in him. Y’all were worried that Sokka wouldn’t get as much characterisation in this version. Well, we got this and it broke my heart.

Katara witnessing her mother being executed in front of her. She immediately covers her mouth to keep herself from screaming. Her mother died so she could live, and so even as she cries, Katara quiets herself so her mother didn’t die for nothing. What a terrible responsibility to place on yourself.

Zuko sitting with Iroh next to Lu Ten’s casket. Cue that goddamn instrumental of Leaves From The Vine. This version really understands and cares about Zuko and Iroh’s bond.

Gyatso telling Aang that even if he had come back that night, he wouldn’t have been able to make a difference. It wasn’t his fault. This broke me. We hear from Katara in TLOK how much the Air Nomad genocide affected him through his entire life, despite everything he achieved. He never recovered from the guilt of wondering “what if”. He carried it his entire life…and Gyatso waited as long as he could in the spirit realm so he could free him of it.

Ozai’s face as he burns Zuko. Iroh looking away, Azula watching as a mixture of emotions go over her face as she witnesses her brother be mutilated, Zuko’s cries…girl I was struggling. Then we cut to Ozai’s expression and my heart plunged into my stomach. To me at least, and several others, it looked like he was trying not to cry. Ozai has done more terrible things than you can count…but he’s still a person and you have to sit there and watch in horror as some tiny, humane part of him revolts at the monstrous act he’s committing and his son screams in agony.

I know this show is getting a lot of criticism and that’s fair. It’s not perfect. But there are definitely parts of it that will stick with me for a while.

Look, y'all. I keep seeing people talking about how few episodes there are of Netflix's ATLA vs the animated ATLA, saying they 'crammed' things in to eight episodes vs 20, and it's annoying the shit out of me, so here's some math:

Each episode of ATLA's animated version is 23 minutes long. Every episode of the Netflix series is at least 50 minutes long.

The full runtime of the Netflix s1 Avatar is 7 hours, 9 minutes. The full runtime of ATLA animated s1 is 7 hours 40 minutes. So Netflix's ATLA is ... a little shorter, but the difference between the two in actual runtime is 31 minutes.

31 minutes is not small -- it's basically "what if they took your lunch break out of your work day" -- but it's also ... not THAT big of a difference.

There are plenty of other things to criticize, I'm sure -- DON'T SAY THEM ON THIS POST, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT AND I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SHOW YET -- but the difference in actual runtime between the two shows is actually not that much.

Loved this scene in the atla live action because right. Zuko could easily beat that woman. He could drop her without thinking about it. But she’s not who he’s after, it’s Aang that he wants, and despite denying it, Zuko still has compassion for innocent lives. So even when it would be easier to just punch her in the face and move on, Zuko lets her beat him back because he doesn’t really want to hurt people, he just wants to go home
