Katara's actress knows all the lore

[@zenasonic7882]

She‘s a die hard fan, so kudos to her for playing a character and knowing the whole story of Avatar

[@mrterry1756]

Kiawentiio (sorry if I didn't write it well) knows more of the expanded lore of ATLA than a lot of writers of the show. Well, but that doesn't mean the live action is bad. I actually watched the show twice already since I liked it a lot. But man, there are some scenes where we have tons of dialogues explaining stuff. Also, I did rewatch some episodes of the original Nick cartoon, and it also has scenes of people talking and explaining things. But it doesn't feel like they don't fit, in comparison to the netflix adaptation.

​@@Kitteh.B Think of it in terms of code being written in a program. The individual in question is like the program, and they internalise something specifically, or embody it, in other words. For example, another commenter said that Lizzy is Azula coded, meaning that the actor really embodies the traits of Azula herself.

[@magentapurpleblues]

​@@Kitteh.B what sarahnadeofpoetry says above. 🙂 Just to add, it's an internet slang, which yes essentially means "on brand"/ embodies and/or shares traits usually attributed to a character/person/thing and is predominantly used by gen z. I'm guessing a lot of the viewers who commented and used the term are gen z themselves (as am I), hence why you've seen it quite a lot in this comment section.

LOL, but seriously, when you have that strong of a bond, so much more can grow. People forget family is more than just the people you're related to. A true love starts off as a true love for a person, caring about them, and wanting the best for them, so Kiawentiio's answer wasn't necessarily wrong, it just wasn't all there was to the story, but they said it's just season 1.

Written in Chinese, Aang means "peaceful soaring." Considering that Aang was an Air Nomad and heavily believed in non-violence, his name's meaning was quite apt. Meanwhile, Katara and Sokka's names mean "wanting hope" and "I understand", respectively, in Japanese.

[@hobi.-.]

Is it pronounced the same in Japanese?

[@khadijahelal8417]

no its not, its pronounced kah-tah-rah and soe-kka. I don't speak chinese but the way we pronounce aang also doesnt seem like a chinese pronounciation. I've been studying japanese for like 12 years now (since I was 8) And I've never heard of the word katara used to want hope. Do you know the kanji is used for katara meaning hope? the closest I can think of is 期待 but that is kitai@@hobi.-.

I feel bad for Kia- you can tell she’s been asked the “Kataang vs Zutara” stuff more often than she wants to deal with. 😞 I’m sure she’s gotten plenty of media training regarding how to approach the shipping questions, but seriously… she should start charging a nickel every time she’s asked about shipping stuff; she can pay off their SAG membership for the rest of her life. Point being-the ATLA fandom has been vocal about Kataang vs Zutara since *before* some of these actors have been on this earth… and whatever they say (or even quietly imply) is going to rile up the fandom. Sure, it’s great for publicity, but they’re just teen/young-adult actors trying to promote the show they’re in, and should not be placed in a position to say where they stand in this divisive debate. Both Kataang and Zutara are valid at this point- they each have a strong fanbase, regardless of canon- so let’s just set that aside and let Kia, Dallas and Gordon talk about other things they love about the show.

I LOVE how lil Gordon has 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 Aang. referring to Aang in the first person & stuff.. I definitely feel like he’s Aang in the fire nation arc with a buzzcut lol. As the days pass, I grow more comfortable with these live-adaptation versions of my favourite characters, off my favourite anime.

Bro its 2024 and you still thinking this is a anime.🙄its cartoon.Made in america.

[@ObsessiveGeek]

The Last Airbender is certainly inspired by a lot of Asian culture, only Japanese created animation is actually defined as Anime, so I’m afraid it isn’t as although rude the previous response is correct, it is American made.

Yea he seems a bit too cocky for a kid that can’t really act. Hopefully it’s just a phase. And hopefully he gets better at acting, he way way way over acts and he’s not believable in anything he says on the show.

4:09 Bending is partly genetic, partly energy. We saw in Korra how non-benders suddenly became Airbenders after the Convergence happened ATLA set the precedent. In ATLA, the Lion Turtle gave Aang the energybending. In Korra, we were shown that Lion Turtles gave humans the Bending powers. Bending was not always genetic, but it became genetic.

I love that Gordon referenced 'The Avatarist'. That's so cool. I've been watching him for a while cuz I love the ATLA universe and will watch other people talk about forever. So seeing the actor playing Aang watching the same stuff and geeking out about it is a really cool feeling.

This cast is so likeable and charismatic, it's insane! They all have amazing chemistry as well. Every interview of them I've seen are all highly entertaining. And you can tell they all really love Avatar and are really big fans. ❤

[@lugiamastero13]

Hmm well Kyoshi did end up with a ability to become immortal some part of me thinks this is also related to how Aang stayed 12 for 100 years it would make sense that a part of Kyoshis skills in the avatar state is what kept him like this

[@MemoDeemo]

8:06 in the beginning of the show Aang was seen flying around which can only be done if the bender has no earthly attachments so even if what happened to him is sad he never really cared about it. For zuko throughout the show you can see and feel how his childhood effect’s him even 10 years later.

[@Ben-zg8xk]

They changed the flying for the show. Airbenders can just bend air in the Netflix it’s not like how zaheer flew
