Badd Medicine here and its Avatar Airbender reaction time
The series is set in a world inspired by various Asian and Indigenous cultures where certain people can "bend" one of the four classical elements-water, earth, fire or air. Aang, the "Avatar" and the last living Airbender, is the bridge between the mortal and spirit worlds, and the only one capable of bending all four of the elements instead of just one. The Avatar maintains the balance of the world and nature to bring peace, and Aang is now faced with the responsibility of ending the ambitions of the militaristic Fire Nation to conquer the world. With his new companions Katara and Sokka, Aang sets out to master the four elements while pursued by Zuko, the exiled crown prince of the Fire Nation, who seeks to regain his honor by capturing him

[@jamesgardner6707]

My one nit pick would be the sudden expertise of Katara blocking the Zoku fire ball from the ship with a 100 ft water wave. Previously she was barely able to make a water ball ( previously said couldn't water bend better than a penguin seal) and within an hour shes showing talent that she didn't have previously. Love Katara as a character but that imo was a little fast for her to grow as a bender.

[@amommalee9105]

Can I just say, that the casting is superb! The best is Sokka, looks and sounds exactly the he should be, and kudos to the actor for bothering to speak just like him, and capture his sense of humor.

[@davismorganadhd]

The runtime of the Netflix show was longer than the first season of ATLA.

[@CloudsAndCoffins]

I had a watch party as soon as it released and we binged all episodes in one sitting. It's by no means perfect, I have plenty of issues, but it's good. Casting and costuming are amazing. It's nice to at least have the fandom respected and to see people really try to bring us a live adaptation to the best of their abilities. Nothing can ever beat the original series but this was fun and refreshing for those of us who have been fans for almost 20 years.

[@biancaeze14]

I did the same! 😂😂😂

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Crazy thing is, they actually made the ORIGINAL animated series in a way that you could understand without having seen it… Because, y’know, it was new! Telling instead of showing isn’t always more effective in conveying information, not only is it dull to listen to but also clunky and gives you too much info to grapple with at once. The original show is much better at conveying its themes in both a compelling, and easy to digest manner. And it doesn’t require all the dialogue to be info dumps!

[@RAD_z0r]

Dear god we made it

[@islamdeen2479]

I get that the show is trying to give us an insecure “little-sister” kind of Katara to show some growth and self-confidence as her bending ability progresses… but I think the Netflix showrunners missed the point on why Katara is so iconic. In the cartoon… Katara was brave, compassionate, diplomatic, shamelessly vocal about what she believed in, and unbelievably resourceful alongside her bending abilities, rather than because of them. This was a girl who set the ATLA story into motion after vocally putting her brothers small-minded sexism in its place, and had an iceberg not been discovered, I like to believe fed-up Katara would’ve packed her bags and left home (since she’s GranGran’s granddaughter after all) and canoed her way to the NWT with to finally find a waterbending master and help end this war. Instead… all I’m seeing is the gentle, nurturing soul that Katara only chose to be from the trauma of losing her mom, and the 🥺 faces are kind of redundant. She needs a stronger presence in this series.

[@jager3090]

Yeah, yeah. I noticed that. It seems they took the softer side of Katara and decided to stick with that. Even at the end with Pakku, she didn't feel angry enough. Just kinda annoyed. The only time I felt true angry Katara actually came out was in the tunnels when she and Sokka had their big fight.

[@CookieMonster-ky1rb]

I love how they took out sokkas sexim but then made katara bland with no personality 😂 The fact that kattara can master bend after a few words from aang and cutting out her whole arc of being jealous of aangs water bending ability is crazy. ​​ She masters bending without the bulk of the training, and without anyone to actually teach her, making her feel like a weirdly infallible character. They essentially mary sue'd her, which is incredib​​ly disappointing considering I'd argue the original Katara is one of the best, most well written female characters of all time. They butchered Azula's character. OH and why the hell doesn't aang WATER BEND?

[@HelTra91]

not me thinking you meant Noth West Territories when you said NWT and not Northern Water Tribe 🤣

[@Zanroff]

Her water bending skill progressed too fast too for how little training she did. By ep 8, she's incredible but it didn't feel earned at all.

vfx 8-9/10, costume design 10/10, casting 8/10, makeup 7/10, child acting 5/10, Sound design 7/10, music 8/10, writing dialog 3/10, remaking scenes whether for timing, or just making creative liberties 6/10. compared to the original 6/10. As a stand alone if you don't know what they are recreating 4/10. compared to M. Night's abomination 12049437280/10 But I can see how people who are die hard and super skeptical could dislike it, I could also see how someone who is looking to like it, could enjoy it wholeheartedly. I'm kinda indifferent. but I have hope that toward the end of the season, or by season two, the kids will have found their confidence and characters, and that maybe a better writer on the team could bring the dialog up to snuff with the original, or just that of a good show in general. the dialog is what killed it for me.

[@Algorythmfpv]

I'm only basing this on seeing the first like 4 episodes, and feel I did a good job not to spoil anything or lead opinions. but the one thing I will spoil is the dialog doesn't get better, nor does the child acting in the first 3-4 episodes, and there are a couple character differences on one or two people I wholeheartedly dislike and hope their character arc comes around on me. because I can see it being one of the reasons the creators left this project. changing a fan favorite character so much is blaspheme when their cartoon version is easily replicable and loved how they are.

[@alquimista2996]

I think episode 5 and onward was quite good. Personally, I think these kids needed better direction with more takes to get their intonation right. With the exception of Dallas Liu, who's done an amazing job.

[@warrengraham5816]

I understand the changes they did and I like most of it. They did a great job on casting for this adaptation but some of the cast needed more acting workshop. The music are good, the set is nice, the bending looks amazing. My biggest problem for this series is some of their wonky writing, it's just so "into your face" that makes some of the line delivery cringy. But all in all, I love this series, it has it's ups and downs but I enjoyed it all. I also enjoyed this reaction so much, you guys are so fun to watch, great job!

The 1:1 remake is such a lazy argument to excuse the actual flaws of the show. There is more problems with the show than just changes. Directing, Acting, Writing, there is plenty of valid criticisms that people have expressed.

[@Cawmeravn]

@@aSackOfDerp Sure babe

[@Turquise8]

One thing I really like about starting with the air nomad genocide and then cutting to Katara and Sokka is that if this is your first introduction to the story, you find that it's been 100 years at the same time Aang does, and I think that carries a really different weight. At first, you're like "oh, it's the next morning in the water tribe", and then after Zuko "okay wow, it's been like 3 years that they've been looking for the avatar", and then you get whammied with "airbenders haven't been seen for generations" and "the last time anyone saw the comet was 100 years ago"

Yes, but it was clearly an intentional choice as in this version he's dealing with his feelings of being alone, feeling like he got his masters killed, survivors guilt and it's pretty evident that these issues are holding him back from wanting to truly learn.

He started it in the cartoon too. It's not like the live action made that part up.

[@StevesRankings]

My only problems are the pacing and some of the characters. I know it’s only 8 episodes but a points it feels so rushed especially in the Omashu episodes because they were putting like 5 episodes into one. And the characters could be closer to themselves in the cartoon. Mainly katara because the way her character seems right now I couldn’t not see her being the type to get angry like she does in later episodes. And it seems like they are leaning into that route of making a character strong because they are women

[@Princess-dq2jb]

Yeah Omashu was definitely the weakest for me and I feel a simple episode split would had made it flow easier. Like seeing jet perspective first and then the stumble upon his next “target” and learn his perspective and then the divide in the group based on who’s right.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

I think the pacing only feels like a problem if you know they’re combining different episodes. I actually think Omashu stuff was a good and clever way to bring many storylines to one place instead of trimming one or more out. I watched with someone who didn’t know the cartoon and they didn’t have any issue with the pacing.

[@curlyxcoco]

really? they did the omashu combination wonderfully. everything felt connected while still referencing the original characters and plot. the spirited away episode was the abomination. they took every spirit world journey even from Korra and put it in for fanservice. surprised we didnt see raava and vaatu. they put so much that it was all pointless and now the only reason they go see roku is to defeat koh who shouldnt even be a villain. its so bad. hei bai was forgotten. still debating if it made sense for katara and sokka to get sucked in

I feel so bad for you guys😑 you had to wait sooooo long🤣 BRO I WAITED FOR A WHOLE DECADEEEEE! EMOTIONAL DAMAGE BRO

[@mimic1984]

I'm actually very glad this show isn't a word for word carbon copy of the animated series. 💜

[@andreawest2194]

Thank you its okay to change some things

[@steventarsitano3209]

i'm honestly really disappointed. i'd rather just watch the cartoon, and i really do fear this will take away attention from it.

[@david-jonballinger6638]

@@steventarsitano3209I doubt it, Avatar has been a really popular animated series since its first airing and it became pretty huge when it was released for streaming. Just don’t watch the show, it’s ok for other people to enjoy it and for you not to :)

[@Howard0Chris]

It's better than the movie but was a little disappointing. I see why the creators of the animated show left

[@fkim8449]

Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore, Michael Goi, and Roseanne Liang were also announced as executive producers with Goi and Liang both directing episodes of the series. In the first season, each episode reportedly cost more than $15 million to make. Compare this with game if Thrones first season : The pilot reportedly cost HBO $5-10 million to produce, while the first season's budget was estimated at $50-60 million. For the second season, the series received a 15-percent budget increase for the climactic battle in "Blackwater" (which had an $8 million budget).

[@alextheg95]

LOL at the Ultimate Warrior bit 😂 This show did a great job making the animation come to life. Watching it as animation vs a human being burned by fire benders its crazy different for me! So much more real obviously 😂 but it does make it hit hard. Gyatso man, RIP ❤

[@apieceofcoffee]

I...did not like it. Borderline "hated" but not quite there. We managed to get through the 1st episode while internally cringing, then I skimmed through the 2nd, and I think I'm good. The writing and dialog was terrible and I can't enjoy anything with that. So much exposition said not shown. Katara and Suki's characters were re-written poorly taking away the entire point of most characters growth and maturing. And the plot was everywhere. There's just no good way to do a live-action adaptation of an already screaming amazing series. Some things are meant to stay animated, and it's a medium that I think gets disrespected so much like it's inferior for some reason. It's a beautiful way to show a story that just can't be done live-action.

[@alynwilliams1548]

Very disappointed with this show. the writers did the characters dirty by taking away so much of what made them interesting. now they're just blocks of one dimensional wood that constantly tells everyone how they feel and don't show it.

[@pp-zw8uy]

This truly is a great remake. I watched it in German and the best thing about the German version is that almost all characters have the same voices like in the original. I'm so happy to hear Katara, Sokka, Azula and Zuko again as I knew them as a child. So iconic

[@DarkSwam56]

i love how you guys just watch it for what it is which is an ADAPTATION of the animated one something that some people still don't get what that even means. Sure there's the flaws like the way some of them deliver their lines and some characters that could have been casted better but overall as someone who has watched the animated show 4 times now, i loved it and can't wait for Season 2.

[@kweeniepiez]

the show was joyless, disappointing and unnecessary

[@Annamoon_]

To honest, i wasn't too hyped to watch it on my own, but I'm going to watch it with with you guys haha The main cast looks so similar to the cartoon, they nailed in it.

[@SirenaWomanWarrior]

I’ve been searching for a reaction video of this live action version and OF COURSE I should’ve looked on your channel first. Awesome video guys!

I really loved this live action, I'll for sure keep watching when season 2 comes ❤

[@viromegutierrez3307]

This is such a great reaction! You guys were really just enjoying it. I am now a subscriber!

[@EmyLovett]

I am loving that this is definitely NOT a simple copy-paste of the original! All these live action adaptions I'm iffy on seeing afraid of them essentially making everything the same as before in a different format (*cough cough* Lion King *cough*), but when they can bring more story to a beloved story AND do it so well and flawlessly, I applaud them! You could already tell that it's not the silly cartoon for little kids (Firebenders showing how rough they are in the first 5 minutes...). I'm already halfway through this series and loving it so far! The little details they give, even with the music nostalgia, is so great bringing this story to life and giving more depth to characters, and giving more stake and showing how hard this long war really has been!

[@cesarf.lumapak5397]

Long ago the Avatar fan base lived in harmony, but Everything Changed when M. Night Shamalahn Attached, only the TV Show Master of film could stop him, but when the World needed it most, it ended. Years later, the Avatar fan base discovered a new Show coming to Netflix, and although it's other shows are great, it still has a lot to learn before it can save anyone,but i believe, Netflix can save the Avatar! Edit...

Besides parts of the first few episodes, episode 6-8 really HOOKED me.

[@corbinyoung925]

My friend and I just stayed up almost all night binge watching the whole season. It was great! So excited for this to finally be done correctly in live action. There were quite a number of changes to the story, though they were mostly minor. Looking forward to seeing you guys react to the reset of the series. I'd rate the whole thing about 7-8/10, though I'd give the CGI 9-10/10. It looks amazing! Curious to see what y'alls rating to be

[@Silithael]

Nice reaction! I'm very glad you like it. I absolutely love the series. Binged it in two days because I couldn't wait.

[@KaminoROBB]

ALSO, I was skeptical about them altering the story *slightly* and honestly the extra scenes we only had stories of in the animated, and how INCREDIBLE it is visually, I can accept that

[@steventarsitano3209]

it felt like it made very little sense that they changed that scene where Aang deflects the fireball and had Katara deflect it instead. they were like almost 100 feet in the air, and it before they showed here barely able to lift a small ball of water out of a puddle. so how did she pull enough water up that high to block a big fireball? when I watched it I was honestly confused and asked myself "how tf did she do that?"

[@nope19568]

the power of aangs emotional speech ig lmao

[@monacampbell3817]

Tbh to me it kinda made sense because when they were at the iceberg and she was trying to move the canoe it looked like she was accidentally bending the iceberg, kinda showing she’s more powerful than she realises or at least has the potential to be so whilst odd I didn’t think of it as a stretch to her deflecting the fireball…the scale maybe but the action I could see it

[@heyitsrosie]

Because that the point of kataras character, she cares about her friends and fam and that fuels her bending duh

The budget was said to be 15 M per episode. It definitely shows. I am using ALL of my willpower to NOT binge watch all 8 episodes. Many are criticizing that they changed too much. People need to remember that it's an adaptation of the cartoon. I think this Halloween will be ALL Avatar costumes.....lol. Looking forward to your reaction to the rest of the episodes. I really hope you also react to the other series, Reacher, The Brothers Sun and Blue Eye Samurai. ALL excellent shows!!!

[@brennapardilla10]

yessss i’ve been waiting for this reaction!

[@Galiant2010]

I've seen some hate, but I have to say that for being an adaptation of a cartoon, I think this show is about as good as anyone can reasonably expect. Some things don't translate from animation to live action super well, so they have to be altered to fit a live action setting. But the way they do it makes it very apparent that they knew the source material, and you can see that everything was done a certain way for a reason. And it's done very well. I'm just hoping that you don't get beaten down by any haters who are just going to be extra vocal, and that you continue to enjoy the rest of the episodes as you did with this first one. I think it just gets better, though I have a few minor gripes that I won't mention unless you bring it up in an episode.

[@khaleesimandy74]

Been waiting on y'all to do this show. I haven't seen the animated one, but after finishing the live action, I'm seriously thinking about it now.
