Do u kno if live action is considered cannon n if so how do i explain it ???

[@AntoineBandele]

Yes and no. No, it's not canon to the animated series. Yes, it's canon to its own live action continuity.

[@Charles-7]

i agree on that, it's their only shot of having the live action series being almost on par with the original.

[@Cloudaddy220]

Of course it isn't

[@DoramaRx]

It's canon to the LA adaptation. I mean there's a few changes, but ultimately the story is the same

it's a remake of the original show.

For sure, I’m really excited for that episode! Do remember that during Zuko’s wandering and searching for himself he comes across some unique landmarks and places that later in LoK, we see that Wan the first bender was in a war zone. So in a way that place has historical significance. I hope they put much love and respect into writing that episode. And Iroh alone singing to him son, Leaves From The Vine, surely hope they write it with respect towards Mako. 🪷

[@FlashFan295]

I have been a fan of Avatar, the last airbender for years. My roommate has never seen the show or anything about it, so I watched netflix Show as an old fan as my roommate watched it for the first time. We both loved what netflix was able to do. We are extremely excited to hear that there will be seasons 2 and 3. My roommate went ahead and watched the original series as he was so interested in the show.

[@MetahumanSG21]

That’s cool. The first time I introduced my roommates to ATLA they thought it was a cheesy, good feels, children’s show. After we finished 3rd season they completely changed their minds and started buying Avatar related plushies, comics, and other stuff. Now we are super excited to sit down and enjoy the live action Netflix series! We need to introduce everyone to the original Avatar the last Airbender. The story telling, the music, the themes, characters build up, lore build up, etc It surpasses any series, movies or other that came after. 🪷 ✌️

[@robertking4645]

Here's a theory, i think Guru will be cut entirely as a character and will be replaced with Avatar Yangchen. Eastern Air Temple is where I believe she was born and since Aang can only call upon his past lives while in their shrines, it would make sense that his fellow airbending avatar would be the one to try and guide him to mastering the Avatar State.

[@AntoineBandele]

Ooo. I can actually see this happening fr fr.

As for somebody who has never watched a single Avatar episode - This show checked all the boxes for a really entertaining series. I'm all for more seasons /episodes :)

[@cordell224]

If the show got 10 episodes each season it would be perfect to fix some of the cramming of the show and flow. Ie, if season 1 got 10 episodes they could have fit Aang being taugh water and introduced to fire bending, while also fixing the episode 5 pacing. Then the show might have been near perfect for what it is if involving more episodes but not too many more, I think a 10 episode count would be perfect without being too much

[@e-davidi.7354]

Yeah, I was disappointed that Aang never tried Firebending and hurt Katara like in the cartoon, or even learnt the basics of waterbending at least. Imagine if the next season starts with Aang already being a master at waterbending, and their excuse is the Aang being possessed by the water spirit at the finale made him very good at waterbending instantly.

[@cordell224]

@@e-davidi.7354 I agree with you and I believe that's exactly what the series is gonna do or like many believe there will be a time jump a year or two and he'll have experienced learning water bending, but I kinda prefer your suggestion even though it's less earned, which I feel like the audience loses either way unless they show a quick montage of Aang learning water bending

[@Eric-kv5sz]

Of course 10 episodes would be perfect because that'd be the exact same amount of time as the animated show. I get the lower episode count causing condensing but it'd really help fix their issues if they kept to each season instead of arbitrarily adding in so much season 2 into 1. Season 1 felt like they were so afraid that they weren't going to have a season 2 that they had to put as much fan service into 1 while also keeping the overall narrative to a single season. But in order to do that they left out a lot, like like Aang's waterbending and Katara's personality.

[@cordell224]

@@Eric-kv5sz Well said! I greatly agree, I think they did cram too much into this first season, which gives me some hope that the next set of seasons will be better off for it to allow the show to breath and not feel as rushed. I really wish they didn't cram so much stuff especially season 2 content into the first season, but maybe it's for other reasons that'll pay off in future seasons 🤞🏻

[@indiedavecomix3882]

LIVE ACTION TOPH! LET"S GOOOOOO! I also feel like they might do the Haru/Prison episode from Book One, into Season 2.

[@MrEffectfilms]

I'm hoping they either get at least 10 episodes to work with here or that it's still 8 episodes but the episodes are longer, between 60-75 minutes each. This would make each episode roughly the length of a feature film and allow them to cover more ground. Season 1 for the most part worked for me because so much of the cartoons season 1 was filler material that making cuts was pretty easy and even fitting some stuff from season 2 in here so we don't have to worry about it later. But season 2 is almost all plot and story relevant so any cuts made are going to be substantial to some extent. More episodes would be ideal but longer ones could maybe work too. We gotta deal with the Library, the return to Omashu, Ba Sing Se, brainwashed Jet, the Dai Li, Azula and her crew, Zuko and Iroh on the run, and Aang learning Earth bending. But I'm sure Netflix is aware of both the praise and criticisms this first season has gotten and with how expensive and time consuming it is they definitely want to keep us watching so hopefully they take that criticism to heart and don't just ignore it. But we gotta do our part, be critical but be respectful, being angry and toxic doesn't do anyone any good.

[@e-davidi.7354]

I have a feeling that they're going to skip the whole Underground library episode since Wan Shi Tung (Not sure if i got the name of the giant Owl spirit right) was already shown in Season 1 in that spirit world. They probably already planned to remove that episode, which could be why the Owl was already shown early for... nostalgia at least. If they're really gonna skip the episode like i suspect, then the Gaang finding out bout the comet and Appa getting missing would have to happen another way. Just to clarify, i wish they do NOT remove the library episode completely.

[@keight2898]

Yeah why can't they make it longer? Budget constraints perhaps?

[@emilylopez9682]

I personally loved it, love it, love it. Avatar is my favorite anime. I think we need to give it a little more time because the series was seen on television a few years ago and this generation is getting to know it now.

[@TheSamuraijim87]

Congrats on the milestone! I think Toph will be an early and necessary addition as well, and Aang's Earthbending should be central. Ba Sing Se might be introduced as Toph and or Bumi, telling everyone they want Aang to visit Ba Sing Se for its Earthbending resources. The library could also be introduced as the University in Ba Sing Se, further expanding Sokka's "engineer" arc. I don't know how Aang and Katara will begin their romance, since so many vital elements have been removed. If much more gets cut, it might as well be dropped IMHO. I was going to say that Appa's lost days was necessary, as it is fundamental to so many Book II points - Appa's separation, the journey to Ba Sing Se, Suki's imprisonment, Aang's anger and bitterness, Azula's infiltration of Ba Sing Se as a Kyoshi Warrior, the leaking of the invasion by the Earth King who gets kidnapped. But that's just me. I can see how having two episodes solely focused on one person (Zuko Alone & Appa's Lost Days) could be problematic, and untenable. If Appa's lost days is cut, Suki should stay in the team indefinitely in her expanded capacity, because the Boiling Rock would likely be cut as well (unless she is subsequently captured alongside Hakoda during the invasion). This would also mean there is no way Azula could pose as a Kyoshi Warrior due to Suki's presence. Perhaps Azula and Long Feng simply make an alliance? I hope Yangchen gets an expanded role, but this would likely be in a mentoring capacity, in which case, it might result in Guru Pathik being cut from the show entirely. Just my thoughts. Awesome vid!

[@AmyA-bg1bs]

I'm not entirely sure if Aang & Katara will be a thing in the live action. They may leave the romance up to fan interpretation given Cave of Two lovers was an important aspect as well as the Fortune Teller and both episodes were removed.

First and foremost, congratulations on 300k!!! Your voice and opinion on Avatar have been well informed and interesting and entertaining. You deserve it Secondly, I’m excited for season 2 and 3. But I am worried that they lacked the foresight to say the events of Avatar happened over a couple of years but went with the original of 1 year because of aging of actors as we would have liked. Thirdly, I hope they learn from their mistakes and are gna take the criticism and improve, there was so much great about the show. And yes I agree with having certain scenes and episode cut entirely and I’m sure they will have to cut a lot in season 3 if it’s gna be 8 episodes. The reimagining of certain scenes did not sit well at times. And finally, the relationships between the characters in the gang neeed to be better and more fleshed out. A big part of this was removing the fact that Katara was ‘motherly’ weakened things. We now need to see that butting of heads between her and Toph in season 2 because of their different personalities

[@ZuzuFanatic]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared, more excited, but still hesistant. However, since they got Zuko, and Iroh (i didnt like the first few episodes with Iroh, but the last ones were great with him) right, then there is a bit of hope.

[@amitavrashmi17]

Toph is gonne be by far the hardest character to nail in this show it kinda feels to me like no matter what they can't make justice for the character Also for jeong jeong I think they have to include him somewhere in season 2 to give Aang a reason to avoid firebennding like the original I really wish we get to see atleast a little if appa's lost days little moments from the tales of ba sing se like detective momo following the trails of appa's fur, zuko on a date and katara and toph bonding Also seeing as the show is going to expand things I wish they will expand more on iroh past when in ba sing se

[@sakurapablo671]

Ooooo! Does makes me wonder who they got as Toph? Cause if they did got her to be the same age, then it may work. But if they found someone who is in her early 20’s, like 20-21 years of age, her appearance have to pass as a 14-15 years of age. Don’t get me wrong, which I have to state this, that they found someone, who played as Claudia for the current Interview with the Vampire that could pass the teenager age. But I’m just being honest that, that if, and I do mean IF they found someone as Toph that is close to Gordon age range, then we may see her by then. If not, and if she is just couple to 5 years older then him, as long she pass everything that we may hope on, then we still have something along the line.

Considering the young cast has been aged appropriately, I don’t see why Toph wouldn’t be as well.

I think they might cut the library. They changed where Zhao learned about the ocean and moon spirits in this show to being from the fire sages so there's no reference to the library and at the end of season 1 they show that Ozai has a stars thingy like in the library that tells him when the comet is coming. They've laid the groundwork for the library being cut, they just need a way for the Gaang to learn about the eclipse and the comet. They could still include it since they included the owl in season 1, so they saved a little time introducing him, but I think it might be cut.

[@autograph415]

Agreed, plus we met the owl in the spirit world already they should cut jt and focus on other elements

I completely agree with you that it's best to cut rather than mix. The few mixes in your S2 predictions actually make perfect sense. I'd be more than happy if they follow your S2 predictions. As most have already said, how they portray Toph is going to make or break the entire future of the show on Netflix. Depending on how much they improve on S2 I may start wishing for a TLOK Netflix series but that's just overhype right now hoping they knock it out of the park with S2.

I agree that they need to get Toph right and hopefully they let Aang and Katara get closer to the original personality wise. I'm hoping Tales of Ba Sing Se will make the cut but I am not sure.

This arrangement for episode is similar to what I thought about, zuko alone i bet will be a split episode that jump between zuko and the gang with a lot of similarities between the two, for season three i believe they need to have more episodes the third season is pretty stacked with all the episodes before and after the comet all the zuko missions and the episodes with Hama and Piandao are very important, maybe they will merge the two and sokka and Katara will train at same time in separate places.

@@AntoineBandele while I I obviously agree the original show is better and always will be I love how they change things up and how they've adapted what they have from the show into live action and believe it has been done spectacularly The only thing I'm not as fond of is the fighting is fine but they really need to work on the choreography more because in comparison the animated one blows it outta the water I love this and was really hoping to see the rest adapted and maybe even Korra eventually But then again this is also coming from someone who actually didn't hate and liked the original live action movie that is 100% despised by the community and most of the critisms being completely justified xD

[@bunnyleaningonasquishedbun5542]

​@@AntoineBandeleOnly if the Netflix producers aren't deaf to the criticisms. If they somehow still included exposition heavy dialogue and making the main gaang bland AGAIN with Zuko and Iroh being the only developed characters AGAIN, then this show has no hope.

@@gabrielchastain6091 When you said you liked the original movie your criticism about the adaptation goes out the window lmao

[@gabrielchastain6091]

@@BrysonRyenn no it really dosent You disliking the movie does not discredit my opinions on the adaption I can see the goods and bads in most everything I watch I didn't say it was a masterpiece or anything I just said I enjoyed it

[@aileenpi73]

I love the show. So exited

[@gabrieligbinoba3723]

Toph is the most important character of them all. It's very important that that they get it right, else the idea of the entire show would be defeated.

[@nanayaw9108]

I can't wait for the boulder 😊

[@TheOutlawed1000]

Good. I liked it. It will probably only get better.

[@ministryofvolcano]

Toph ... can't wait.

[@stokerjoe4734]

MORE EPISODES and its going to be outstanding with this great cast and experienced people who care for the original show.

[@teto85]

Actors happy to have the work.

[@teslabulls1238]

I loved the first season. The casting is stellar!

[@mrichard1305]

Can't wait

[@roziewon2525]

My most awaited scenes are Toph and Zuko's character development.

[@younesbaazaoui1383]

I hope they listen to the feed back

[@flightforge30]

oh well I cannot wait for season 2 and 3 as there are a lot of heart pounding plots, turns and twists to expect. I hope the series adaptation will be able to pull this through and will meet viewers expectations. I just finish last night watching the animated series and it was really amazing..

[@ninjogo5338]

Toph must be: Blind, accurate, barefoot, powerful, female, sassy, and awesome!

[@a.t.m873]

I like this live-action show, but don't they DARE do Toph/MELON LORD dirty or wrong.

[@AntoineBandele]

100% this.

[@nickMercadomp7]

I have faith in Netflix doing toph justice Netflix always makes good stuff

[@Nicholsonofficial]

Congratulations

[@JonathanDavisKookaburra]

hopefully this one will be successful enough that the reboot in 15 years gets 10x the budget and all 61 eps.

[@pxna-_-118]

I think it will get better as the season goes on because this is when the show become amazing … can’t wait to see toph

[@DanDan-fu6sd]

I don't understand why some people complained? Yeah, the show wasn't perfect (hope they listen and fix the bumps) but, they did a great job with an honest adaptation. I love Netflix now. You too are doing a nice job here Mr. Bandele......twinkle toes. Can't wait to see Toph!

[@AntoineBandele]

I appreciate you.

[@Jannaria]

Don't know how people would think about this, but visually it would be sick to see the unagi fighting the serpent in the serpent's pass.

[@zeeunveil1324]

The budget to film more than 8 episodes is possible, if netflix wanted to film the next two seasons is an indication that it is possible

[@kdlove8629]

Woah! Antoine you've been doing this since 2006?? That's dedication. No wonder you feel like family. Didn’t realize it's been that long.

[@SerGio-mw9pc]

Netflix needs to listen to this!! Also, Azula's fire have get to be blue this time! Otherwise, I'd be pissed!

[@ronnies732]

It was a bit blue during the training they were just teasing us 😂

[@shinigamis_like_apples4797]

They’re gonna have to cast an older child actress right? Since in the cartoon Toph is supposed to be 12 but by the time s2 rolls around the entire live action cast will look and sound older. Especially Gordon who will not sound remotely the same as s1 Aang to make it feel believable that he’s STILL twelve lol 😂 I wouldn’t completely hate it, just please don’t make Toph overly edgy. Like yea she’s tough and brutish but not gothic like Mai or Gen Z level “edgy”. (This coming from a Gen Z)

[@stachu5049]

I just can't wait to see Toph, Ba Sing Se and the Desert episodes. Idk what other stories they adapt, but those 3 are a must-have 🤞

[@ryanmartinez7007]

I’m just saying that the first season was good with having multiple episodes into one, but there are more important plots in season 2 that can’t be left out. I think at least 2 more episodes would benefit. Plus they should give more budget since they decided to green light all the seasons.

[@michaeledwardscarlton1484]

The show is fantastic ❤

[@jasongarfitt1147]

I think your summary is a good one and agree if limited then cut things. I don't see Appa's lost day for the reasons you say and i think most fans of the animated version would be ok with that. Moving the initial azula encounter to Omashu makes total sense too. Let's hope the director agrees with you!

[@novemberfalls7602]

Zuko's face is just perfect as Zuko.

[@user-ms1wm8fq9w]

Everyone is excited if NETFLIX will be able to portray toph like the anime, toph has very strong personality with street humor.

[@Hero_tech2005]

Tophhhh...💎

[@peterkhleb2538]

I'd start flipping out yelling... "I am a surgeon!!!"

[@blazeharris3326]

They really picked some really good characters for the most part. Iroh, Bumi, Gyatso, Suki and Team Avatar are all great, "OK" at the very least. However, Katara's grandma, Yue(costume), Roku(so disappointing) and Azula & gang could have been done a bit better. Overall, I can get passed some of the not so great characters, but speeding up the show, and the writing, idk if it'll hold my interest if it becomes the norm. I really think the show has the "POTENTIAL" to be a great show, but now that we are passed season 1, they need to take the gloves off and really go to work

[@animetalesseries]

I disagree with his assessment that the show will not get more episodes per season, I believe the show was a success, it’s the ☝️ show in the world rn and people watched and loved it. There is an also a large group of people that hate it, but that doesn’t take away from the success. The biggest criticism was that people felt everything happened too quickly, I think they’ll expand season 2 and DEFINITELY season 3 into more episodes. They have to, Aang is gonna be learning 4 elements while dealing with the war, it will have AT LEAST 10 episodes as the seasons were originally planned to have

[@TheFreelanceFiles]

they're most likely gonna be writing in more of suki too cuz of the sheer amount of attention and success her character is getting from season one

[@AntoineBandele]

I agree with this. I think Suki might be involved a little earlier on. Like, she might show up at Omashu at the start or something (maybe trying to help retake it).

[@TheAndromedaPod]

The show was Stellar to me. I'm glad season 2 and 3 were greenlit.

[@zuffy8778]

Toph is my favorite character. I really hope they will not screw it up.
