I haven't seen the animated but did see the movie. Zuko seemed much more complex and relatable even. Great performance.

[@dresdenwarlock7978]

What's funny about the Suki training Sokka scene is that Ian Ousley (Sokka) is a third degree black belt in Taekwondo and has competed nationally for years. So he actually had to learn how to NOT be as good as he really is.

[@joshpeveto805]

People don't get how tough that can be sometimes. I realize it isn't the most difficult thing to do but when you've been very, very good at something for so long, there's an adjustment period for trying to make yourself look like a novice again especially when it's something physical. It's tough

For anyone intested in the Kyoshi books: The informations presented here by Katara are actually canon with the books (which have been confirmed by the originial creators as canon). I personally really enjoyed them, they have a way darker tone than the cartoon, and they show such a cool different perspective on the role of Avatar in that world

[@mryoungandbrave1]

Kyoshi and Suki are in my favourite parts of the show, they are so well done. I know Kyoshi appeared to Suki in prison, but it means so much to me that Suki got to see Kyoshi defending the island. The Suki, Sokka scenes were really well done. I love how the Kyoshi Warriors' fans are boomerangs, it was a really nice addition and makes complete sense in universe.

[@LeeAra-e2c]

They changed Sukis character entirely, as well as her and Sokkas relationship development. Here she just comes across like a doe eyed schoolgirl fawning over ripped Sokka, the first boy from outside she's ever met. No challenging Sokkas sexism, appreciating him allowing himself to be humbled, nothing of that sort. I find her character change, as well as Kataras, to be one of the most awful and, ironically, sexist ones.

[@krisb.1565]

@@LeeAra-e2c I’d argue that she does see him humbling himself when he’s watching them train and then he’s caught watching them. He’s a warrior who prided himself on his abilities and didn’t realize how little he knew until he met Suki and the others. He’s then willing to learn from her. Without any comments about his superiority as a warrior.

[@mryoungandbrave1]

@user-kr6ls6hl7n I agree, they stripped away a lot of Katara and Suki's agency, and I'm hoping they build on their characters in the next season, but I disagree that Suki is fawning over Sokka, I think she's acting like someone who's only known how to fight as she's trying to impress him, going to far and they start to build a foundation for a relationship built upon a mutual understanding of what's it's like to be non-bending protector of their respective homes.

[@douglaswills4624]

Sokka's sexism was cartoonishly stupid in the cartoon. And it completely disappeared after episode 4 of the show. It was not a prominent thing. It was not a well done thing. It was overthetop nonsense, and completely unnecessary for their relationship to work. @@LeeAra-e2c There's also nothing sexist about a woman finding a man sexy.

[@Jegekim]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that before he lost his wife?

[@phoenixwing5133]

​@Jegekim He does mention that in the OG Show when Aang talks to him. SPOILERS FOR BOOKS AHEAD Kuruk was known as a lazy Avatar for a long time but in reality, he wasn't. He spent his life taking care of the spirits because before him, Yangchen neglected them. She's known as such an amazing and respected avatar and Kuruk respected her a lot so he kept his actions against the spirits secret. To protect Yangchen's image. He's so underrated.

[@Vinlander95]

​​@@phoenixwing5133 to add to this comment: BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD TOO I just wanted to add for others that those spirits in question were dark spirits - evil entities. Essentially Kuruk learned that many dark spirits were close to breaking the veil between worlds and invading the physical world - which would have been disastrous for the people in the physical world. Kuruk basically went to war in the spirit world to prevent an all out invasion of demons lol. He kept this war against dark spirits to himself, so many never learned just how much of a protector he was, hence his legacy of being a lazy, inefficient Avatar. These battles with the dark spirits are also why he died young, because each battle against a dark spirit would slowly corrupt his soul and drain his life essence.

[@sachidanandashagolshem605]

​@@Vinlander95 I finished the show and learned a bit about this part. But since you've knowledge of the book, I have a question. Kuruk was not able to bend in the spirit world, right? So, did he fight the spirits without his power? That's freaking insane.

They both have audiobooks read by Nancy Wu. First off the Books are Amazing in and of them self but Nancy Wu just reads it with such enthusiasm, it is so captivating and is defiantly worth a listen if you get you hands on it

[@Isshindzahul]

The fights choreography have been great but after the first episode showed us very explicit violence this episode felt like watching the Power Rangers. Sukki showed that her fan weapons are used to slash so is kind of weird they ended up fighting and used them as maces. This is not necessarily something bad and the episode had great pacing but I felt a bit of whiplash with the tone of the show after seeing people being immolated alive they wouldn’t show cuts.

[@Reaper2869]

I wasn't a fan of this show but I have to say getting to see Kyoshi wreck shit was really cool

[@za-ir5ni]

That was an important character moment for Katara though. Here, she's just given it for convenience sake.

[@0725038]

@@za-ir5ni Not at all. She learned not to steal... that's pretty much it. You guys are reading to much into simple things. Katara is trying to be accepted as a strong person capable of holding her own, that's her big goal throughout the first season. Showing that her Grand deemed her worthy to learn more about water bending is a great boost of confidence for her, pushing her to learn. That's the whole point with Paku and why she fights against him when he pushed her down.

[@za-ir5ni]

@0725038 I'm talking about the frustration and lashing out at Aang for initially being better at waterbending than her, that led to her stealing the scroll. Showcasing jealousy on her part and a character flaw with her apologizing to Aang by the end. A healthy conflict that they resolved and got closer over with her acknowledging Aang as someone she can learn from. The fact that all you mentioned was the stealing demonstrates that defenders of this show like yourself don't even understand why the original is good. She didn't do anything to earn that scroll here. It was just a way for the writers to have her suddenly master it without showing it. By the end of the season she's a master without any actual training lol. Do I even need to mention that Aang doesn't waterbend the entire season too.

[@0725038]

@@za-ir5ni Doesnt matter if Aang doesnt waterband by season 1, the season is not called "Water". Nothing stops them from showing 20 minutes of training at the start of season 2 and showing Aang being better at learning stuff. You saw Katara trained the whole season, she used the scroll, learned with Aang, Jet and Bumi. They even said in the last episode that she had to learn quickly and adapt while being attacked. That's the best kind of training you can get. She's good, but she's not really a master yet, but she's good enough and has the right qualities to teach Aang. As for how they got the scroll, she got jealous for 1 episode!!!! They can replace that story by anything else. That's what i hate about fans like you. You want the show to be the exact same copy. None of your arguments holds for someone that never seen the show. Stop comparing it. I welcome any new changes. I dont want another Lion King atrocity.

[@za-ir5ni]

@@0725038 That's literally his entire job lol. The thought of learning any bending doesn't even occur to him. The only reason he goes to the Northern Water Tribe is just vibes from Kyoshi. Just a pointless change. Also you saying that a lazy montage of him finally doing some waterbending at the beginning of next season would suffice shows that you don't know what good writing is. No, Katara doesn't train. She gets a pep talk from someone and suddenly is able to use a move. That's lazy. She doesn't even learn from Pakku, probably because the writers didn't want her learning from a man. And all of this neglects the fact that her character was written poorly this season. Your comment shows that you fundamentally didn't understand why the writing was good in the original. You're just like "it was just one episode" ignoring a great moment that develops the character. You like the writers don't like them having flaws to work through. Not to mention fleshing out the bond between Aang and Katara. Something btw that doesn't happen at all this season. Nice strawman with the hating any change. Everybody is pointing the structural problems with the writing that fundamentally changes the characters for the worse. Watch literally any review on this show.

[@serenshadow89]

And now is the first of 2 choices in this show that I didn't like.... Kyoshi's portrayal/characterization. Yes, Kyoshi was a strong and imposing character in ATLA but she was also CALM and STEADY. Even when fighting an enemy, she was collected -- she never even raised her voice. In this series however she comes off as antagonistic and volatile. Which, I think is totally outside of her personality in ATLA. I enjoyed the other choices they made here - like actually getting to talk to her this early on. I don't hate that Kyoshi was the one revealing information about the Avatar State instead of Roku. I liked that she got to take over so she could fight and save her people -- it was a much more poignant possession than what we saw in the ATLA. And I LOVED that fight scene!! OMG, I rewatched that scene like 3 times because it was so dope! But the moments leading up to it, when we meet her and she's just nothing like her personality in the cartoon.. I did not like it. I don't think Kyoshi would yell at a child, for acting like a child. Even if that child was the Avatar. She lived to be 230 years old... a wise, calm, old warrior woman would not yell at and guilt trip a child --- especially because she knows that Roku is far more responsible for the war than Aang is. I think that was so out of character. This is one reason why I would give the show a 8 out of 10 instead of a perfect 10. I can deal with situational changes or changes in certain dynamics to make things flow better in a live action adaptation --- but what I can't vibe with is a personality change like this. I was legit taken aback during those conversation scenes. I was like... who dis? You may look like Kyoshi but you sure don't act like her. What I love though is Suki! I love that she's totally into Sokka and is bombing because the only way she knows how to connect with someone is with her fighting skill. And of course, he doesn't get that it's her love language!! Love it! I really like the changes they made there.

Is it perfect? No, but I had a great time with it! Is it worth going onto the actress of Kitara's social media and telling this poor kid that she ruined the entire thing - and to quit acting? Absolutely not!! 😡 Seeing all of the channels, pages, and subreddits ripping this show to shreds is really fucking depressing. Thank you to those who are being honest, but kind about it.
