Zuko’s arc is one of the best redemption arc ever written. It really goes to show what can be done when the writers are competent people with no agenda other than to create fantastic story telling. Zuko meeting iroh before again after finding his way still has me in tears every time I watch it

"Nothing could ever tarnish the legacy of Avatar!" Korra: "I'm the Avatar! You better believe it!"... wait, no, that's not right... "You gotta deal with it!" That's the one. I have a vague, hazy memory of M. Night saying somewhere that he cut out the spirit world bits because he was trying to ground the movie in more... realism... but he left in the bending...?

My father had a terminal illness and I lived 4 000 kms away from him when I watched uncle Iroh celebrate his son's birthday on the hill. That got me right in the sensitive parts of my heart for sure!!! One of the rare series that the script had better replies than what I had anticipated!! Like all the time!!!

[@slimbombur7922]

Avatar the series is probably one of the best planned series ever made. They knew exactly how many episodes and seasons that this was meant to be. All that was set in the writing.

[@quatreraberbawinner2628]

Actually they initially planned on having 4 chapters, but they ended up only getting 3, it you noticed the final season is kinda rushed a bit

[@bch7905]

@@quatreraberbawinner2628 Didn't Ehasz the main cowriter for the series say recently on Twitter that it was basically a choice between the movie(s) or another book? And I think Nickelodeon helmed the decision for the movies because they had a contract with Paramount for a trilogy and they were going book by book per movie, so a fourth one would not be ideal for that formula- this is obviously before they even pre-produced the film, and the creators were originally VERY on board with doing the movies and obviously always have been because they were also on board with the live action Netflix series until they backed out due to creative differences. Part of this is rumored, I'll admit, I saw an insider source that mentioned this but have since been long deleted and there was no undeniable proof it was legit, but I do remember the cowriter basically saying that they had 4 books planned for the series but by book 2 they had to scrap it, but then you have the creators from years before saying it was always 3 books. It's a miracle the series ended on a high note and was so well structured because there were apparently a bunch of conflicting views on how to handle the series, but I guess that attests to how passionate everyone was about making a good project. No matter the differences, they managed to compromise a well structured and stunning show.

Anyone who can articulate the greatness of the Avatar cartoon series by eloquently citing the plot, characters and themes instantly wins my respect and attention. You... kind of already had it anyway, after I watched your videos on Rings of Power, The Witcher and Velma, but now it is etched in stone! The impression I got from an interview with Shamalam and his two collaborators was that they hadn't seen the show before they decided to make a movie of it, and Shamalam was kind of using the tv series like cliff notes while he was writing the script. And the further he got into the process the more he felt like the task he'd taken on was way too big for him... but he carried on with it anyway.

[@mariusbuchheim7236]

Loved hearing you gush about the original series. Such an incredible show. But ALSOOO I will defend about half of M. Night's filmography to the death 🤣Signs and Unbreakable are fantastic and underrated, The Village is really well executed aside from the contrived twist, Lady in the Water certainly isn't great but I think there's aspects to it that are really unique and interesting, which is more than I can say for most big budget theatrical releases in the last five years. Split is an awesome thriller with a killer James McAvoy performance. But yeahhhh........The Last Airbender is probably the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen.

I will never forgive my younger sister for forcing me to watch this movie. I've seen ever episode of AtLA, enjoyed most of them, and knew the second I saw images from the filming that this would be a train wreck. But my sister had this delusion that I shouldn't judge something without having seen it... I'd be more inclined to have seen her point if literally everyone either of us have ever spoken to about this movie hadn't said it was worse than taking a hockey puck to the crotch at 100 mph! By the time the movie was over I was just glaring at her until she said "You were right, this was a waste of time."

Netflix is filming this again now? And Paramount is going to release Avatar and SpongeBob movies in 2025? These are the headlines that came up when I googled the TV show, which is sadly not available on KZbin. I only heard about this movie from "pitch meetings" (a KZbin channel you should definitely watch) and I felt really bad for the fans of the show, which I have never seen but it sounds like I missed out! That comment section was written by your 1,667,889 soulmates-in-anguish. This very educational channel also informed me about other awesome-kid/teen source-material-to-worst-movie-evers of which I was completely unaware namely Percy Jackson, Artemis Dark, and Eragon. I was very surprised that filmmakers would recognize that a book series or cartoon is successful, and then not utilize the actual story. Is it ego? Is it deliberate destruction? Is it laziness? Whyyyyyy??? And then 2016 rolled around, and deliberate destruction + ego seems to be the answer - at least for Lady Ghostbusters and all the mutilated franchises that followed, ending (currently) with She-Hulk and Rings of Power. Anyway, thanks for the video!

One of the actually great things about the movie is the music. Cause they got an actually good composer for it, James Newton Howard himself. Granted, James did music for a lot of shit films. But the music in them was always a fucking amazing. Too bad that not only is this movie horrid, but the editors also are. So even if the music is good, they don't know how to edit it in properly in any scene that should have corresponding music.

I remember being really upset at that time because I couldn't go see the movie.. now I'm just grateful for never having my childhood series ruined by this piece of crap. I actually watched another review video where they spoke about the director having arguments with some of the people who worked on the movie and they left because they hated how awful and disrespectful this movie was being made. I think this movie was meant to prepare us for what garbage we are getting from Hollywood nowadays...

[@barbarabaker1457]

2:57 I won't say better but certainly on par: Babylon 5 Londo and G'Kar, Cowboy Bebop Faye, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Anne (yes that tiny cross show character), Westley, Faith, Darla and Spike. I'd argue the problems in The Twelve Kingdoms but I can argue Avatar issues but there are three girls who drastically change in that story in ways that still hit me like a truck and it's the combination that made it work the most just expect to suffer for 5-6 episodes first. I could name more to be honest but that's probably because I love the deeper works as it's how I like to write. And no hate on Avatar, I just agree no work is without sin, certainly not my own. But I LOVE Avatar so I digress and YES a Horrible adaptation. And yes I tragically saw this first and avoided the series for Years over it. Fun video.

I absolutely agree ATLA is ONE of the best shows ever... Tho there are a couple of challengers. Death Note comes to mind, there are a handful of others. But if I had to pick a single one as the best, I-honestly cant think of a sinlge flaw in Arcane. Its really hard to compare shows cross-genre but with every other show... there has been flaws, few and far between, some times rather small ones but they have been there. There is no such thing as perfection, so Im still looking for them in Arcane... I just cant seem to find them.

The Ember Island Players episode was a better adaptation-at least it was supposed to be bad!

[@Xenobears]

Not to exonerate M. Night Shyamadingus, but the task set by the movie was impossible. Condensing an entire season of a show with a consistent overarching storyline and character progression into an hour and a half film? Only an idiot would assume that they could make it work without issues and it would take a genius to pull it off… looks like we know which side of the divide the director and the studio executives that greenlit this project fell on! Seriously, they probably would have been better off doing an original story set in the Avatar universe. Like a prologue about the Fire Nation’s war against the Earth Kingdom or Southern Water Tribe. In the former, you could even focus on Iroh and his son, let us see their relationship and Iroh’s heartbreak when his son dies.

[@AJ-po6up]

Avatar is really amazing and I love it, it has to be my favorite Western cartoon ever, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best show of all time or the best animated one, certainly not if you include Anime. Avatar was very obviously inspired by Anime starting from the art-style down to the writing, storytelling and many of its concepts, it's an amalgamation of many Anime shows from the 80s and 90s, with some of its own twists with a great pace and just superbly executed. I remember sitting down the day they premiered the first episode thinking "wow this just a anime ripoff", which honestly it was but it was a very good one, nothing wrong with copying and being inspired by good things, much less when you do honor them by making something great and special. If anything I was surprised that Nickelodeon of all things could greenlight something so good, with so much depth and seriousness, those days were the peak of that channel imo. I remember those days very fondly, watching religiously every week new episodes of Avatar, Naruto and One Piece and thinking "nothing could get better than this", and oh boy I was right.. that was the peak of television and entertainment to me and still is. These horrible adaptations are an insult to us fans and I never want to see one again in my life, I pray everyday that Hollywood never has the chance to make an adaptation of Naruto because sadly apparently Netflix is already making an adaption of One Piece (may the lord have mercy on our souls) I can only imagine the kind of aberration it will be and it hurts my soul, now that's something I will never watch ever.
