the main thing they need to get right in season 2 is the casting of a certain earth bender.

[@patricksocha6930]

[@Toren8002]

I agree -- The Boulder is a key character. That casting will make or break Toph's entire introduction.

[@raze2012_]

Agreed. General Fong (that one dumb earthbender that tried to sink Katara to activate Aang's avatar mode) is such a subtle role to play. I mostly said this to say a fun fact: The live action actor for Ozai actually voice acted Fong in the original series.

[@FenixNade]

@@Toren8002 I would love the Rock to play the Boulder... I know it won't happen... but it would be amazing

[@abthedragon4921]

Part of me hopes Lieutenant Jee is still alive. In the original show, he and the rest of Zuko's crew join Zhao for the siege of the North but then they're never seen or mentioned again. But here, Iroh not just mentions Lieutenant Jee but suggests he and the others might be alive. Maybe we'll see him again in season 2 or 3. Heck, they could make it so Jee and the others form a force of Fire Nation deserters (which could allow them to bring in Jeong Jeong) and later on Jee and this deserter army could launch a revolt in the Fire Nation in the final season. We've already seen that there is descent among the Fire Nation's people so it's not completely unlikely. None of this is probably going to happen but it's fun to speculate.

[@blerdywifey]

I can see thrn either being killed by Azula looking for information. Or arrested and he would be at Zuko crowning.

[@HellebrandCuriosity]

@@blerdywifey Or if they decide to still do the Jeong-Jeong story in season 2 they could have him as that ''second deserter'' guy instead of that stoner guy, would also be a nice opportunity to give the gaang a different perspective on Zuko

[@el-ml-am9511]

I also would like that Lt. Jee get involved!!! I personally would love if they guide Zuko and Iroh to Ba Sing Se as part of the White Lotus during the desert arc. Still exiled, but still loyal to Zuko. It also gives us a reason to introduce and trust the organization. Otherwise I thought they would either help the escape during the Boiling Rock, or either help Zuko or Iroh during the invasion. And of course if not, would be nice to see them at his coronation!!!

[@Mads97415]

It's kinda funny hearing them discuss now whether the show will get a season 2 and 3 or be cancelled like most Netflix shows after it's been greenlit for the next 2 seasons! I also personally enjoyed this show myself as a HUGE fan of he OG. I do have some gripes and it's definitely not perfect, but I thought that it was overall a pretty good adaption and I'm sure they could improve on some stuff in the next two seasons!

[@OrionInSpace]

This is how I feel too. It’s by NO MEANS a great season and has a lot to improve upon but for an adaptation of Book 1 it was a decent start.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

Echoing the feeling chamber. It wasn't perfect but it was at minimum "one of the good ones". It changed and cut some things, but it respected it's source material even if it reimagined some interactions. I felt the new dynamic between Zuko, Iroh and his crew was the highlight of the show. Can't wait to see Toph, which will probably be the hardest character to adapt.

[@dbzdiehard7209]

I agree, for a live action it's pretty good. I had a blast watching this

[@xglitch97]

This show is not better than the original, and if thats not what we're going for we shouldn't even be trying. Everything that made the original great and have impact is distinctly LACKING in this show. I'm not saying its bad, but for a show I love this much to fail so hard on the storytelling elements, just sucks. They constantly do "tell, don't show" so much it gives very distinct Shamalan vibes.. Ever since I heard the original show creators parted ways with this recreation I was disappointed, but still hopeful. This first season knocked the wind straight out of my sails. I know people might come after me for my opinion here, but I'll stand firm. No one is gonna come back and watch this show in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now.. But I AM about to go watch the original Avatar TLAB for the hundreth time.

[@shinwave]

Like ong fr there are always a room for improvements

[@OkeanosZT2]

I enjoyed the series overall but honestly the best part for me was using it as a gateway to introduce the original series to other people. Some of my family avoided the animated series because they thought "animated = for kids", but then they watched the live action, fell in love with the story and the world of Avatar, and are now making their way through the animated as we speak.

[@funnerz]

Looking forward to season 2 and 3! Hopefully they’ll take and incorporate the feedback from this season, I really want this show to be good!

[@nickr.2151]

with how much the actors and showrunners are invested into making this successful while being as faithful as possible to the canon, i have no doubt that they will improve upon what was already a solid season 1. Considering S2 and 3 were greenlit together, they will be able to write a more cohesive story moving forward i believe.

[@scoooops]

I firmly believe that this shows biggest problem is that its tells more than it shows. The writers need to trust their audience and stop over explaining what's happening. The cast is talented, and the writers clearly know the source material, arguably too well (referencing things from the comics). There are some writing decision's that I actually like better in this version than in the animation. That being said, I do think there were some small directorial issues, such as poor acting takes that could have been reshot, or oddly staged shots, but those can improve as well. I think people are wrong to write this show off so early. It was never going to be a copy of the animation. It's crafting its own identity, which is a good thing.

[@Sokkawakkawakaa]

Well, you’d be surprised to see people especially on twitter came up with weird takes despite the show being too telling. This applies for the OG show as well. I think expositions are necessary for this fanbase lmao But yes i hope they tone it down, the difference between ep 1 & 2 are a lot when it comes to expositions. Now that the base world building is explained i hope s2&3 script wont be too telling like s1.

[@saladspinner3200]

I agree with your analysis. The live-action in some aspects overexplains things that never were in the animation. The original in many ways entrusted more to the imagination and wit of an audience that primarily existed of childeren! Another flaw (in my eyes) is the heavy focus on action. They more from one CGI and action packed to another. One of the strengths of the animation is the world building and strong dialogue. For example, the ending of the first season has a totally oposite vibe in the live action and the animation. When the moon spirit appears, it's in the shape of an aquatic animal, a scene that has a legendary soundtrack. In the live action, they turned the moon spirit into a vengefully godzilla.

[@Sokkawakkawakaa]

@@saladspinner3200 the animation also overexplains things, and sometimesthey just tell us stuff and we are expected to accept it just because it's part of the plot. but i agree the teleplay in live action is too expository and sometimes repetitive (esp in ep 1, though it gets better later on). the key difference is in the animation it spans over 20 episodes so it has a room to breathe, but the LA only has 8 episodes which runs full stop 45~1 hr episodes each so it does get overwhelming sometimes. i think they need additional 1/2 episodes to land softly, unfortunately the current media episode count 'trend' is killing the narrative potential a seires has, not only netflix's avatar, but most shows too.

[@tovolume]

I agree that Gordon Cormier did a great job as Aang, and i can't wait ti see what he can bring more to thre table in Season 2 and 3

[@mnstarwars]

Agreed Sokka,Zuko n Iroh definitely the most stood out for me in this LA

[@the_nikster1]

this episode for me was one of the most visually stunning of the entire season. I also agree that Zuki and Iroh were the best part of the series. as a fan of the original series, I very much enjoyed this adaptation and look forward to the 2nd and 3rd seasons. I appreciate that you guys are always very balanced with your reviews. thanks for delivering consistently great content! 😃

[@CommanderSteelTrap]

I gotta say, I prefer this story for Pakku than in the original. In the original he only let Katara learn to fight because he loved her grandmother. It really doesn’t feel like he’s actually changed and it’s a bit of a cop out. But here he stands by what he believes, and doesn’t change until in the middle of war, realising his entire Tribe could die unless he allows the women to help in the battle. I think it’s a way better way to go with the storyline.

[@webx135]

It was also somewhat more realistic in that he had them focus on fortifying and rebuilding walls. As much as they should have the women fight, they aren't exactly trained in combat. So it would be basically unethical to just throw them into combat. Have them do what they are currently best at NOW, and then train them in combat when things calm down. Despite my girlfriend's disappointment in an earlier scene, I would say them having one of the women bring up that "men fight and women heal" is more nuanced as well and tells a message some people need to hear. Gender roles like this aren't usually some direct top-down dictation ordered by one man, except in the most extreme cases like fundamentalist takeovers. It's usually a slower process shared by culture itself. If Katara were to hop in and say "How can you be content in being mere healers?!", the likely response wouldn't be "I hadn't thought of that." or "The men prevent us from doing so." It would more likely be "Ummm....what do you mean, MERE? They are the ones learning to hurt people. WE are the ones learning to HELP people." I feel like even progressive people tend to glorify the male roles, so we see these women as being restricted from the "superior" role. But I would be at least as concerned that the men are being trained to fight, but not taught to heal. Unless, of course, the men were taught both and women were only taught healing. Then yeah that has a clear direction.

[@roaaoife8186]

​@webx135 my understanding from interviews and statements is that this view of gender roles is also more in line with the cultural beliefs of many Native/Indigenous American tribes. If you watched Echo this same view (Men are Life Takers, Women are Life Givers) is repeated there as part of Native Culture. If you pay attention you can really tell that many of the people involved in this are Native and Asian.

[@claudegrenier3180]

Totally agree with you. Makes it more meaningful then just "Hey, since I loved your grangran, sure kiddo, let's teach you to fight....". AND this time around, it's not JUST for HERSELF... it's for all the women. As for the other replies about making more "realistic" sense because of "gender roles" is totally wacked. They're trying to squeeze their agenda into this. It makes no sense. If Katara were to hop in and say "How can you be content in being mere healers?!", some might answer "I hadn't thought of that." while others might answer "The men prevent us from doing so." and others might answer "Ummm....what do you mean, MERE? They are the ones learning to hurt people. WE are the ones learning to HELP people." having well learned their "obligations" . BUT in the end, whatever their answers MIGHT be, it certainly IS THE MENS fault for not even CONSIDERING giving the women a chance, whatever beliefs you have about "gender roles". Who knows how many generations of women water benders would of LUVED the opportunity to learn to fight, but got turned down at the very mention of it.... Thinking otherwise is literally part of the problem lol

[@HeatRaver]

@@webx135 I think Pakku's wording was intentionally vague, so that it can be open to interpretation; ie "fortifying" and "see if the warriors need other assistance" can also be taken to mean using force. Kind of like, "I'm not saying you should fight, but if it would 'assist' our warriors to kick a firebender in the balls, then do what you gotta do..."

I think the point of Kuruk's knife is that, even if the spirits take a mortal form and can be killed, it takes more than mortal weapons to do it. Especially with them being in that water, with its healing properties and stuff. Otherwise, they'd be way too vulnerable in that day.

[@yiledute]

but that is the point, they supposedly chose to be vulnerable to connect with the humans, but how connected can you be if even after becoming mortal you can only be killed by a unique magical weapon?

[@karouakiva1714]

@@yiledute I don't think it has to be a unique magical weapon, I'm sure there are others. They can connect to humans by being mortal, which means being capable of dying, and being in the mortal realm. But that doesn't mean they stop being spirits, and becoming completely vulnerable to the point of being easily killed seems like a design flaw, in my opinion. Then again, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong, of course.

[@yiledute]

@@karouakiva1714 at this point we would be assuming there are other weapons, but we have no proof of that since Kuruk was fighting a secret war by himself. And again, the whole point is becoming as vulnerable as the humans to truly relate to them. Otherwise those spirits would be closer to a vampire, which is very far apart from what a human is.

[@karouakiva1714]

@@yiledute Ok, I get where you're coming from. I just think that them being mortal, and vulnerable, and connecting to humans, doesn't keep them from also being spirits. That's what I was getting at.

@@yiledute How connected can you be if you choose to do it just one day a year?? It think its the "meaning" of it all... not the literal "we should be able to die" part that's important lol.

[@randalladkins7452]

24:34 - Lion Turtles were seeded throughout the entire original series and were one of the original inspirations for the show! “Lion turtles have great cultural importance in the Avatar world and are referenced several times throughout the franchise. General Fong and General Sung both had pauldrons representing the head of a lion turtle, as did one of Aang's battle "options".[17] A painting of a lion turtle was depicted in a scroll inside Wan Shi Tong's Library.[7] Aang and Sokka hid behind a lion turtle statue outside the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace while devising a plan to meet Earth King Kuei. Piandao compared Sokka's courage and heart to those of a lion turtle. Additionally, his manor boasted many lion turtle furnishings.[18] Admiral Chan's home in Ember Island had a lion turtle door knocker.[19] The gates of the Southern Water Tribe compound have a lion turtle motif.[20] A Satomobile used by the Triple Threat Triad sported a golden lion turtle as a hood ornament.[20] A lion turtle fountain stands next to the pool in Hiroshi Sato's estate.[21] A lion turtle appeared in the beginning of the unaired pilot as a statue behind Aang. The lion turtle who imparted Aang with energybending had forehead markings similar to those seen on fire lion turtles.[2] Some critics claim that the lion turtle teaching Aang energybending to defeat Ozai without killing him was a deus ex machina, a device used by writers to resolve a conflict through some form of divine intervention. The creators dispute this claim, insisting that the lion turtle's abilities were already developed prior to its introduction.[22] According to the creators, the idea of a mythic, prehistoric era when lion turtles roamed the world with cities on their backs and their role in the creation of the first Avatar started in 2003 when the test pilot was in development.[9] The creators drew inspiration for the lion turtle, in particular, while touring in Seoul to find the right animation studio to work on the test pilot. They recall seeing a turtle statue with an engraved monolith on its back, which stirred their childhood memories of Morla, the giant turtle in The Neverending Story, and the collective "World Turtle" myths they had encountered” - Avatat Fandom Wiki

[@fakudan]

I think a lot of people that expected this to be anywhere near the masterpiece the cartoon is, set themselves up for failure and couldn't enjoy the show at all. I knew the live action could never be as good as the og from the moment the it was announced, and so I didn't expect it to be and wasn't dissipointed by it. Anyway, I enjoyed the show, I thought it was decent and had some fun watching and I'm actually glad that they will adapt the next seasons, they have a lot of room for improvement which I hope they take.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

There is a bit more to the creators leaving: whoever's left in the production were handpicked by the creators themselves, so the show was in most part, still in great hands. The end product might not have been what exactly Mike and Bryan had in mind, but their staff made sure the project still had the heart of the source material.

[@being47]

Final product doesn't have the heart of the OG, They removed every bit of the original and kept only the highlights, they removed katara from the show, this katara is just a shell, they removed sokka, he didn't grow, they removed the major plot line where aang ran away, so in this version he doesn't have guilt of leaving everyone behind,, they removed so much and added very little to justify the end product. This version maybe a decent show on its on, but its very bad adaptation

[@Meowtro]

Then why was it missing so much of the heart of the OG?

[@yiledute]

the staff has no saying on what the story is or where it goes, they just try to make it look good. The people that "matter" when trying to keep the "heart" are the ones deciding what happens and how it should happen.

I'm hoping they'll redo parts of avatar to reflect what the original plan was. The last book was originally meant to be spread out over two books but with the shyamalan film going into preproduction the 4th book got removed and they had to finish the story in the Fire book. It's why about halfway through that book, it suddenly races to the finish. I'm honestly hoping to see them do to the Earth Book what they did to the Water Book in this season. But then, I'm hoping they'll split out the Fire Book into what the showrunners of the cartoon had originally planned for the story. Basically do the 3rd season about the Fire Book and then a 4th season about the final battles and spread it out a bit more.

[@yourenotmysupervisor9311]

I’m a huge fan of the original. After the M. Night disaster, I came into this wary. I was glad they didn’t do a 1:1 adaptation and there are things you can pull off in animation that you can’t in live action. It was a pretty good depiction and some of the changes really worked. I wished Bumi was more like his animated counterpart and less serious. I also wish they hadn’t rushed through book 1. Since they were sticking to the typical Netflix 8-9 episode season, they could have done half of book 1 in the first 8 episodes, then finished it in a second “season”. Rushing through made it difficult to establish a lot of the connections the Aang gang made along the way. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

[@MisterPunch19]

I think Ang will just know water bending at the start of next season. the kids are going to age between seasons, so they will account for that by having some time have passed while he trained in with Katara, and maybe Pakku too.

[@rugr82day]

There are supposed to be time jumps between seasons to account for how much the kids will have grown. This will also make things like Katara and Aang's relationship have more depth than just a 12/13 year old with a crush on a 14 year old girl. My hopes are for season 2 is a great actor to play Aang's earthbending master and for them to work in the Library/Desert/Lost Appa arc. And for Ba Sing Se to really have an impact.

[@OrionInSpace]

I will definitely stand by the opinion that I think season one as an adaptation of book one from the cartoon is decent, but it certainly has a lot to better itself in. I think that season two and three need to have much better focuse on the story than mixing storylines together just for the sake of it. I also think some of the directing to actors needs to be improved and since Albert Kim is no longer showrunner it seems like they’re going to be changing up how the structure is going to be going through anyway.

I mean yeah they were mentioned but so were 2 other animals we never did see in the show so I think people just heard it and didn't pay them too much attention as just another random animal combo mention (we never saw the hopping llamas or hog monkeys). It's not like they were given that much significance on their mentions. A couple drawings and statues that we only see for a short time and the single line "I saw a heart as strong as a lion turtle, and twice as big".

There were elements that I liked, and I had fun with the action, and almost all the actors did a wonderful job, but the character writing/development was sloppy imo. Things were either too on the nose or not developed enough and it stinks because a “kids” show did it ten times better. Granted, the writing did feel like the show runners didn’t know if a 2nd and 3rd season would be green lit. But now that it has, I hope they can strengthen the pacing and characters even more.

The one thing I hate the most is that they cut the Gran Gran and Pakku storyline!

[@roaaoife8186]

That's my favorite change, actually.

[@roaaoife8186]

@@jeannguyen3199 lol, I see what you did there. To be clear, Pakku and Gran-gran rekindling their romance doesn't bother me perse (although I would love to have seen how much groveling be had to do to win back a woman who literally went to the other side of the world in the middle of a war to get away from him) but rather how it was tied into Katara getting training from him. It just always felt like it undermined her accomplishment, and made it seem like a weird form of nepotism, especially with how the other NWT women were left out of the change in the original.

[@claudegrenier3180]

🤷‍♂ Meh. That storyline never did anything to me. And it didn't help in the general storyline anyways.

In regards to the women of the Northern Water Tribe joining the battle, I think The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was more inspiring, "I say we stand with our men in life and in death."

I liked it, but like come on, the whole point of each book is aang learns a new element... he didn't earth bend once by himself....wtf?

Thank God the cow can rest now. Yall been milking this way too much.

The fact they were "wasting time" saving an animal with humans dying all around them to me seems very silly. I love animals, but if I have a 10 year old kid dying and have to decide to tend to the child, or an animal, the humanity in me would still save the child without a second thought even if I would feel terrible for the animal.

[@claudegrenier3180]

...k. But let's say it's YOUR animal pet that's mortally wounded versus a hurt 10 year old child not necessarily dying? Cause that would be way more "a propos"

[@daurydavis3983]

Momo is a very beloved member of the group

[@LauraGS564]

Very silly? There is literally an episode or two in the animated show dedicated to those animals, saving them is literally a plot point. Imagine thinking that is silly, that is literally the heart of the show.

[@mochiyeosang1908]

bumi even says momo is the most important member of the group so you can stfu

[@mishiara5499]

there is ppl dying all around them at that time, child or not, humans goes before animals. Yes even my own animals.

29:53 - Now that the next two seasons are greenlit, just shoot them back to back to keep the kids from aging up too quickly. Honestly, the kid who plays Aang already looks almost too old in recent press appearances. :(

[@Annie_Xxxix56]

Sorry but not better than one piece live action it had the heart of one piece in it. But Avatar Netflix lost it with its dialogue, storytelling, character building and too much monologue .🤔

[@Meowtro]

Personally wont be tuning in for seasons 2 or 3. As an adaptation this was just lacking for me. It was missing so much and added nothing of value.

[@daurydavis3983]

I heard they're getting new people to do the stories for the next two seasons

[@Meowtro]

@@daurydavis3983 doesn't matter, fumbled the first season so no reason to continue watching. Rather just rewatch the animated series again.

[@brettthebest3978]

Same unlike one piece where it was made of people that love one piece this adaptation it was made to be more “adult” even tho the cartoon had more nuance theme and characters
