“Katara self taught child soldier” that was spot on . I died 😅 when she called herself “master “ in the series

[@cinderbelle22]

Agreed! So ridiculous. I got made fun of once for saying a cartoon could be more realistic than live-action, and I still believe it. How realistic is it for a person to teach themselves to the point of mastery? The cartoon did a much better job of implying Katara's progress, and she didn't just proclaim herself a master; she earned it from Master Pakku through persistence and determination.

[@jhedjoardumago7691]

​@@cinderbelle22the people of the Northern tribe called her master Katara even after losing to Pakku. It shows she's gifted enough, she just needed guidance. In the animated she got it from the scroll, Aang's advise, bending underground water, and actual battle experience.

[@pinkpixie8686]

yeah, that annoyed me so much, bending seems like something you would need to be taught properly and her just proclaiming that when we haven't at that point actually seen her do really any training apart from making a water bubble and curternly no training from anyone else (that one line from anng doest count) just seemed redicouls. im sure there are prodigies that require less training but they would still need to be taught by someone and katara didn't really seem like a prodigy with how she had trouble on this show making water move at all in the beginning.

[@tozag]

She’s the Rey of water benders

[@shawnmayo8210]

What's crazy is by that point she is a master, we just didn't get to watch her learn.

[@CaseNumber00]

My pet peeve was every costume looked brand new, none of them looked lived in or worn out from traveling the world and sleeping outside. Props department really needs to add some weathering. I say this because after I finished Avatar I immediately watched the first 2 episodes of Shogun. Masterful costumes in Shogun.

[@boardcertifiable]

And makeup needs some work too. Yue's wig looked weird.

[@pinkpixie8686]

yeah most of the items and places look a bit worn down and dirty like you might expect places to look if the world has been a war for the past 100 years and then you had everybody in bright clean clothes that looked newer then new.

[@AgonizingDemise]

I dunno if telling is always required. One of my favorite villains of all time is so damn good because they never tell you how and why he thinks the way he does. His decisions felt like they made sense but they were still surprising. I've seen a dozen different reviews who all had a different explanation for how he came to be what he was or even what his sexuality was, whether he actually cared for people or not at all. What made that villain so special was exactly the just not telling anything. The author even cut a chapter from the official release because it revealed too much.

The scary part of how rushed this feels is when you realize that book one of the original has roughly the same runtime

[@heitoroliveira5166]

It's because live action and animation has different timings to convey the same things and emotions. Also, the biggest problem with this show is structure. Is different to writte 8 episódes from nothing, intended to be a TV Show from the beggining transform 20 episodes into eight. Because they are little stories, with each other having their own arcs and serving to especific propurses. So they need to desconstruct all episodes and resconstruct the storylines to make it fit to the eight episode netflix estructure. And i think they did a really great job with it. Their problems lie much more in bad dialogue, excessive explanation and minor changes so the narrative fits the hollywood patherm of storytelling that usually fucks the characters unintencionally. But i think mostly of mainstream media, specially netflix shows and blockbuster movies, suffer from this problems. I think this show can get better and better and we may have a really great final season.

Fun fact: Sokka wasn't originally going to be a funny character. It was his voice actor who brought that comedic side to the character.

Godzilla Kong whatever its called, "A movie that came out three months after a popular Godzilla film straight ut of Japan, that won an Oscar for best visual effects which this new one has no chance of getting nominated for and would lose to Dune Part Two anyway."

Yes. Absolutely

They have to wait for the DVD release to get the footage. Japanese movies take much longer to get to DVDs. You'll have to wait a bit longer for that one ...

Remember Digimon? They would expo the living life out of your soul with every time someone lost some HP with more dialog about their current HP, then how much HP they lost, how much HP they would need to take from their opponent, only to not, then discuss how they now need to attack some more to take down the HP some more.

Zuko saying "it can't be!" In Ep1 when seeing Aang for the first time (despite being exactly who he was looking for) killed this series for me.

Unfortunately, that's true. Makes me wonder whether those people did watch the animated series

[@theviniso]

​@@mohdamerulaidilbinrazisahm7317 They did not want Sokka to be mysoginistic in this show which unfortunately made Suki kinda useless.

[@austenhead5303]

​@@thevinisoThey really should have kept his sexism. Characters need flaws. Even the good guys. But it seems they no longer trust audiences to understand that White Hats having personality flaws doesn't mean the show is supporting or promoting said flaw, so now every good guy character has to be boring.

[@sake3857]

We tried watching this with our parents who didn't know the original... we gave up after the episode in Omashu and started watching the original xD The entire PTSD and excessive use of showing people getting burned alive was a weird version of "less goofy" and a bit of a turn off! I don't generally have a problem with these things, but only when they fit into the show!

I just watched the first three episodes and while I'm a decade off the target audience, I can easily recommend it to my sisters, it's really cool. I haven't watched the cartoon in ages so it didn't influence my take on this show, and I found it really good. Also I saw some guys on Twitter say the 'CGI' is bad, they couldn't be farther from the truth, it's actually brilliant, loved every shot.
