[@jocelynclara3352]

okay but they’re actually so similar to Zuko and Sokka im dyinggg this might actually be good…

[@chedelcastromahinay764]

So is the series any good?

[@Sashaparekh]

@@chedelcastromahinay764it was mediocre, if you think about it as a separate story and don’t compare it to the animation then it’s good, I think s2 will be better tho

[@conker9529]

@@Sashaparekhright, I feel like that almost how it’s supposed to be consumed, with no preconceived notions

[@Sashaparekh]

@@conker9529 yea, everyone’s comparing it to the og, but it’s not meant to be the og, it’s a new take on it, with twists they wanted to have

[@The10thDecision]

Their personalities, their dynamic together, the fact that they casually quote the show… This is good casting.

[@adiist5194]

Bruh he actually said it " Thats rough buddy"

[@BronyFan27]

When does he say the line 🤩

[@simonesewitt1040]

When they were both in that war balloon heading to the boiling rock prison to rescue sokka's dad.

[@BronyFan27]

Oh, I meant what time stamp does the live action VA say it

[@tiffanyjeffers5860]

The fact that they already close 🥰

[@FrostyLime120]

That's rough, buddy.

[@Giulia-om2gl]

Bro their voices are similar to the actual characters

[@elvisochieng6267]

That's rough buddy

[@TheNolyverse]

[@makaliwe4218]

ian look so much like jared padalecki in his young day xd

[@gabrielaribeiro3876]

O Sokka é mais Sokka que o próprio Sokka 😂😂😂 muito bom!!!

[@Clem4ychannel]

2 years ago erm 😂😂

[@callmecallme524]

god i hate to be that guy but ian ousley (dude playing sokka) pretended to be native and joined a fake tribe so he can get the role :[ im not entirely faulting netflix because to their credit the rest of the cast are actual poc and line up with the characters actual personalities but this is worth calling out

[@callmecallme524]

i'd link sources if i could but yt wont allow so to summarize: none of the official cherokee tribes have ian ousley listed in their records as an actual member save for the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky. Wikipedia lists it as an unrecognized tribe, leading people to think people are just making this up to attack Ian, however actual Natives have been calling out the fake tribe since 2011.

[@animalfinatic9366]

yeah :(

[@animalfinatic9366]

im so heartbroken....i decided to actually give the cast a chance and i liked what i saw so far but to learn what happened with him is so disappointing :( Sokka was a strong inuit character i cant believe this is happening....

[@agent1-085]

No don’t worry about that. Thank you for bringing this up. I have heard about it and I am looking into it as well. I know there were screenshots of emails on Twitter but I’m not sure how trustworthy those are since they are from Twitter. I have heard different things from different sources. Some say that some tribes are just not recognized by the government, which does not make them fake but I’ve heard some people just say it’s an outright fake tribe. I don’t know if all the people who are speaking on it have the right to (because idk if they’re native or not) but if they’re not, I don’t think they can say who’s native and who’s not. Only some ppl in the country have the documentation to prove they are native even if others still have native ancestry. If anything is confirmed for sure then I am definitely going to hold Ian Ousley accountable and hold Netflix accountable (if they knew). I am ready for him to be recast for book/season 2 if he does turn out to be white (if they get one). It would be understandable (at least for me if they didn’t recast him in book one bc they’ve already started filming and this situation doesn’t have much coverage yet. If they don’t recast at all then I am not supporting the show. Listen to natives and the facts when they are 100% confirmed. Thank you for reading this far if you have.

[@callmecallme524]

@@agent1-085 of course! thank you so much for being so understanding about it, i'll make sure to keep an eye out in case any new info is brought to light

[@Losemer]

Sokka actor is peeeeerfect for this role, and Zuko actor need to loose some weight. His face cheeks looks real thick

[@cambryn]

He doesn’t need to lose weight! He just has bigger cheeks - he’s in good shape

[@KeshetAylonit]

He’s literally fine. His face being wide is because of his bone structure.

[@harrysvu]

@@KeshetAylonit but if we are going based on canon, Zuko does lose quite a bit of weight when he goes farther into his journey

[@TioC-L-S]

he is already skinny in real life i think his face just looks chubby

[@pincopallino8176]

He is ASIAN. Zuko's character design didn't look Asian at all. Disappointed. The should have at least casted a mixed-race actor if representation is more important than being true to the original.
