Netflix Better Do 'Avatar' Justice!

As one of the original fans of #AvatartheLastAirbender, I have high expectations that I want the #Netflix adaptation to meet. With the service fresh off its success with #OnePiece, can they repeat what they did, or will be another flop I hope not!

My Reactions to the Teaser for Netflix’s Avatar: the Last Airbender Series The trailer that started it all for me. I was ten years old when I first heard about Avatar: the Last Airbender. It was from a trailer attached to the movie release of The Spongebob Squarepants Film, promoting its premiere on Nickelodeon less than a few months away. I thought little of it at the time, but little did I…

There is no live action adaptations of Avatar: The Last Airbender...

❤️‍🩹 When Zuko says “I’m tired” with all the brokenness in his soul, exhausted from his own rage, wallowing in the ruination of knowing his father truly doesn’t want him to succeed and how Uncle Iroh just understands and soothingly says, “a man needs his rest.”

Iroh, what a wholesome dude, I love him still.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER (2024) Warriors - 1x2 dir. Michael Goi.

The revisionist history of these live action remakes needs to be studied. The amount of people who are saying the PJO movies and the M Night Shyamalan movie that shall not be named are better than the current live action shows is absurd. People immediately shut down at the prospect of changes to the plot, get mad at exposition, then get mad when they don’t pick up on story lines and characterization. Then they say that the objectively terrible cash grab movies are better than the new shows where creators obviously love the source material and want to pay homage to it. And don’t get me started on the terrible treatment both casts have received, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN! People need to grow up. Im not saying you have to like the shows but saying theyre worse than those movies is wild.

okay first three episodes thoughts

good

bending is cool as fuck

sozin’s actor does an amazing job at full crazy but calculated

scenery is STUNNING

monk gyatso made me cry. idk why i just saw him and wanted him to give me a hug so bad

APPA ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD AND NOT LIKE A LITERAL MONSTER

i wasn’t sure how id feel about them showing the air nomad massacre but i think the importsnt thing is that they showed it was a massacre - and that although they can defend themselves, they don’t have the ability to fight back like an organised army would bc they’re pacifists! they attacked a peaceful group

the abandoned fire nation ship in the southern water tribe looks so fucking cool

ARTIST ZUKO???!!! LETS GOOO

Dallas does an amazing job at getting across Zuko’s intense desperation

I actually ended up loving all the Sokka and Suki interactions sm it was so cute and wholesome

Katara is perfect i will kill and die for her

Azula’s opening scene being her manipulating those people trying kill ozai ultimately leading them to getting burned alive by him and smiling - literally so fucking good. she is the best villain in history of forever

really good move having the mechanist (Sai!) and Teo be in Omashu imo. having them destroy the northern Air Temple so carelessly always pissed me off

THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS ARE LITERALLY PERFECT I AM SCREAMINGGGG

I was wondering how they were going to introduce the Mechanist and Jet in a limited amount of episodes but I like how they combined the two stories

Also Sokka absolutely nerding out in the Mechanist’s home is so important to me

Zuko getting has ass beat by that lady for fighting Aang is literally so funny and reminiscent of the goofy aang vs zuko fights we see in season 1 (to be clear: i adore zuko. this is NOT hate on him)

Zuko losing shit about his notebook and trashing his room and then outing himself as a fire bender in Omashu is so perfect. god i love him so much. it’s very season 1 zuko. it’s giving I DONT NEED ANY CALMING TEA!!!

things i was not a fan of: (some of these are a little pedantic i’ll admit)

Exposition is a little is a little janky but i’ll forgive it i guess bc at least it isn’t egregious as The Movie That Shall Not Be Named

Aang leaving just to get fresh air/clear his head and intending to come back is a silly change to me. all i keep thinking about is the storm where we got those epic Zuko and Aang parallels which now doesn’t really work and also takes away a lot of Aang’s depth. A good change adds to the story, but personally this seems to take it away

WHY would they not make Katara the one to bring him back from the avatar state? just seems like a strange choice to me? not saying this from a shipping point at all but that moment is a big step to their bond/friendship especially since they have only just met

Still don’t understand why they made the head of the village Suki’s mum. like i don’t think it’s a terrible choice but they still could have let them have a mother/daughter bond but still let Suki be the leader without any implications of nepotism. it mostly seeems silly

tl;dr - really enjoying it so far!

Me when I heard that Netflix was making another live-action adaptation of The Last Airbender:

Me after I finished watching it:

[dapperapple]

parts of live action ATLA that I can think of right now and thought were particularly well done include:

- opening scene with the earthbender (he fought hard and died brutally, it sets the tone well for this world at war)

- the air nomad genocide (it feels so different when we have to see it for ourselves, jeez louise)

- Kyoshi fighting through Aang (metal as hell)

- the cave of two lovers (gay Oma and Shu!! red and blue Oma and Shu!! hell yeah!! I also just like how they had Sokka and Katara in there instead, and their familial love got them out)

- that earth kingdom soldier talking to Iroh (more nuanced than just "corrupt soldier punch old man", also "he was only 19" got to me, great acting bro)

- Zuko talking to Iroh at Lu Ten's funeral (Zuko saying what he's supposed to but then instead of leaving he shares a memory of his cousin and just sits with his devastated, unresponsive uncle so he isn't alone, oh my god I cried)

- Seeing Zuko's father tell him he's banished (he looks so young and scared and he echos what his mother must've taught him about the weak being capable of growing stronger)

- Zuko's crew being the 41st division (I love that it ties the crew directly to the action that upset Ozai and led to Zuko's banishment, plus it gives the crew a pretty damn good reason to respect him despite him being a bratty asshole sometimes)

And don't even get me STARTED on how the Kanes are doing

Maybe I'm just hot off the disappointment that was Disney+ PJO but personally I love the ATLA live action!!

Yes I know there's things missed, but they've kept the feelings, essence, and so much of the original show!! We got references even if we didn't get the full storylines! Pipinpaddleopsicophilis!!! Cabbages!!! SECRET TUNNEL SONG!!!!!

I'm impressed they managed to fit the inventor AND Jet AND secret tunnel all into OMASHU and I didn't hate it!!! They made it fit and did it quite well! Bumi was a bit difficult to watch but I think that's just my personal preference.

I think some of the lines were cheesy, sure, but also I watched the katara v pakku fight- IMMEDIATELY went and watched the animated version and BRO THEY ALMOST GOT IT EXACT!!!! THAT IS SOME DEDICATION!!!!!

And CASTING?! Perfect! All of them, Aang is great, Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Azula, even Iroh !!

My one and only actual problem with the show is that they're showing everything in a very chronological order, and I believe we needed more nuance to Iroh and his son, we know Iroh and Zuko love each other, I think it didn't need to be as explicitly stated this first season at least.

Everything looks great, costumes, sets, cgi but that's mainly agreed upon. As a designer I HAVE TO APPRECIATE the level of detail they have managed to extract and extrapolate from the original show!

But yeah. Hands down, maybe I had low expectations but the occasional cringey power-of-friendship line does nothing to temper my happiness right now.
