Technically Aang’s story while not a huge focus. It was accurate. Aang’s true bending training did happen Book Earth All the Book Water training was just fun bending but Book Earth was more training.
Entire race of airbenders dies on screen. "Wow this show is really dark and mature." Momo looks dead "I SWEAR I will stop watching RIGHT NOW!" We all love you, Momo
My heart STOPPED when Momo was hit. I thought “No way they’re killing off Momo, I will murder everyone.” And the Koizilla scene was done perfectly. I know it's not the original, but as far as adaptations go, this is pretty damn good.
Aang went super Saiyan literally during the whole end battle which was so badass. Ken Leung of course a cold, calculating villain and we see that also in Rush Hour.
At least they did put in him fusing with the spirit and turning into a Kaiju lol I was satisfied with that. I'm sure others were as well. Although yeah it would've been nice but considering the time crunch and they decided to put to put in the Kaiju 🤷🏾
Regarding Hahn's character and that change. I loved it because in the anime, Hahn had basically no introduction he was just there briefly and gone. They gave him more of a stoic story and knew that the princess wasn't his, but still respected everyone, including Sokka. This was a necessary change in order for the end to work. I give this episode a 7.5.
11:00 random funfact: Even normal fish can be out of water for a very long time. As far as I know carps (which Koi are a type of) have no problem with water for up to 8 hours or longer. Basically as long as their gills are wet they can use the oxygen of the air.
yup if you look really carefully without the facial hair they do look alike. Greg look more like their father and Jaby look more like their mother.@@hardensoul7248
If they learn from their ”mistakes” and feedback, book 2 and 3 could be great. The actors grow and get better. I really hope the next seasons will be longer cos some thing were rushed. I think that they should make 4 season. Like dividing book 3 into two seasons, because it includes so much important stuff that cannot be skipped or rushed!
Or divide Book 3 on two. Release one part then wait and then drop the finale with Agni Kai and finale battle in the very end. Thus we, as audience gain tension and anticipation by that time and how they will pull off the hardest parts
I'd give this show 7.5/10. Can't wait for Season 2 I agree, hope they put the same energy they used for the Firenation // Dark side of the show, to the other aspects of the show.
How do you feel about Aang's character? Personally I loved every single second of it. He was laughing and smiling being a goofball when he needed to and then being serious when he also needed to.
@ronnies732 Yeah, I think it was a good balance of goofy and Serious Aang. And with the show taking a more serious/dark approach, it made sense as to why Aang was 70% Serious/ 30% goofy Hopefully they balance out everyone else's personalities as well as give light to some of the other element nations
@@johnmivule-novabow8143 Yeah, totally agree, they have to work with Katara's fierce personality we've seen mother and caring nature now show us this like in the end of the season she believed in herself, she needs more moments. As for Aang I really do hope they continue to develop his character more and more
If there is a season 2 or 3 I'm sure Netflix will make it as soon as possible because most of the cast are teenagers and teenagers grow up fast. It would be funny if Aang turned into a tall teenager😅😅
In the first strike against the Fire nation Navy Aang was by himself. Showing him with Sokka and Katara shows he knows already he cant do it alone. They didnt go to the spirit oasis for momo in the show they went for Aang to contact the spirits. We get the fire nation air balloon early. They didnt use them at the northern Water nation attack. Zhao throwing shots at Iroh as usual. Nice to see they kept that. No breath of fire for Zuko I mean where he has to melt the ice? Zhao knew about the spirits due to the Wan Shi Tong library. In the show he burns it here he stabs it. Oh damn the chief out here getting it I dont think we saw that. Han out here not looking like no punk either. Godzilla lives!!!!!! Iroh bbq'd his ass idk Im ok with it but I did want the spirit to get its own personal revenge. wish Zuko and Zhao had their agni kai so we could see more of Zukos progression as a fighter. Iroh turned that boy crispy you heard. The water spirit killed him and dragged him to the spirit world in the show. I dont think Yue was water bender in the show if she was they didnt show it. It makes sense as she is touched by the Moon spirit the First and greatest water bender of them all. We got the war balloon early aye!!!!
Thank you both for showing appreciation for Kiawentiio's portrayal of Katara. I don't get the hate she gets online, as her performance was good though intentionally subdued. This show's Katara is directly living with PTSD and a lifetime of being sheltered, leaving her more pained and meek than the cartoon version. This series leans heavily into trauma, and it seems so many are vocally dismissing this cast for notnbeing cartoon characters. So thank you for the refreshing take online.
When I first saw the MoMo part I had to pause and cry. Also the fire sages were stunned by the wolf lizard, same as Aang. So they recovered, were not dead.
6 or 6.5. There are just some changes I struggle to get behind. A lot of poor writing, good moments stripped away from characters, and weird pacing at times.
One thing I would have done differently is that I would have made Sokka try and struggle to save Yue. For eg: He has his axe or his boomerang with him or he finds a medium-sized rock and as Yue is entering the pond he starts hacking at the ice. He gets one leg free only to realise that it's already too late and she is floating lifeless in the pond. I think if it was portrayed this way it would show a lot more about how Sokka felt rather than him just standing there and shouting at Yue.
I'd have to watch animation again but I don't remember him combining with the ocean spirit being so dark. I didn't realize that Anng was sacrificing himself, which made that scenario a whole lot darker. The battle was very well done and showed the horror of the invasion a lot better
That bit about being bound wasn't a think, but lets face it, in the cartoon he was using a water monster to wipe out an army, it was bound to be dark, but the cartoon couldn't emphasis that he killed all those people.
The “he’s not aang anymore” was to cover up a plot hole of the original animation cuz in the finale of season 1 aang was totally killing people with the ocean spirit but by season 3 is like “I don’t kill people”
So the sacrifice was a change of the Netflix show. Aang merging with the ocean in the animation was more majestic and powerful. This was dark but all he did was roar like Godzilla. The show Aang killed more fire nation
@@tmac731 in the og show aang mercs 6 ships and doesn’t even get to the actual fleet before going back to normal while in the Netflix show he actively destroys a majority of the fleet
The arrogant stupidity of Zhao to think Azula would let him live once his usefulness was over. lol. Zhao, the new Fire Lord??? Someone's been smoking his own stash. lol
Despite the obvious few issues at hand I am very much looking forward to a season 2. I really hope they realise that they need more episodes per season and 8 just is not enough, they cant capture anywhere near enough of the next season in 8 episodes.
multi-layered ness of the good characters is súch a good point you made! The fact that Aang and Katara can be jealous, that Katara’s hope can evolve into frustration at the hopelessness of the earthbenders on the ship, those scenes are so good from the animated series. because they have that multi-layeredness, a tension where you root for them, just as the good parts within the fire nation that are fleshed out in the live-action show.
I'm also sitting around a 75-80% range. Characters have been great for the most part. The writing and Aang are lacking but as someone who loves the animated series, this adaptation isn't that bad.
Showrunner is really taking this seriously and taking in all the good and bad and really working to improve it for next season. Let’s hope that happens. I say for me it’s 8/10.
Totally agrees. Can see the showrunners are really trying their best to make it justice. If they really listen to some of the opinions and eliminate the flaws that happened in this season. Season 2 has the potential to be mind-blowingly great.
i think its only kind of cringe looking when they use cgi to render gordon and when they do those flips in fight scenes. specifically gordon in the first episode at the northern air temple, then inside the koi close up in this one. as for the fight scenes, when they're thrown, it's too janky and needs to look more natural. the bending and creatures and sets are all magnificent though
I'm watching all 8 episodes. Of course I'm huge fan Avatar: The Last Airbender (animation). So talking about for movie all episodes is very cool and amazing! Amazing effect, visual, CGI and more stuff. I'm really want next see new 2 season and more! 🙏🔥 Actor (emotions, accent, voice): 🔹Aang - Need learning be perfect (Gordon Cormier) 🔹Katara - Need learning be perfect (Kiawentiio Tarbell) 🔹Sokka - Need learning be perfect (Ian Ousley) 🔹Zuko - Need learning be perfect (Dallas James Liu) 🔹Iroh - Perfect 🔥 (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) 🔹Azula - Need learning be perfect (Elizabeth Yu) 🔹Fire Lord Ozai - Perfect 🔥 (Daniel Dae Kim) 🔹Commander Zhao - Perfect 🔥 (Ken Leung)
I think part of the bonding and developing Ang that’s misses compared to the original is the amount of episodes. The cartoon has 20 for the season. That’s a lot in comparison. I thought this did a good job. Sadly Ang probably wasn’t my favorite in the original season. He’s a sheltered child which puts him at odds with the others. His development started later for me.
4:20 Bruh, from the look on their faces some of them were like 'This kid. Look, I get it, but we are not prepared if we are going to be sent as fireball shield and burned alive!"
I really like the change they did with Paku accepting Katara as a master in this version. It felt a little sahllow in the cartoon. Like he only taught Katara because she was the grandchild of the woman he loved, not because of her skill. In this, he sees that he has to adapt and changes with the times.
I hear what you and Olivia are saying about the time jumping and how it affected the character developments of everybody else. Do you think that this show could have benefited from being an eight episode two a 12 episode show or 10 episode show do you think having the time so they can have episodes For character development for everybody else in this season not a lot but just enough because an hour is a long time and maybe having like two more episodes just so they can be character in time span development if it was a 10 episode show do you think it could it could’ve worked being a one hour episodeI totally welcome your comment. What do you think and everybody else now I am leaning towards your camp a lot that maybe two more episodes of like filler for character development might have helped a lot.
Hi glad you guys made it to the final episode. An answer to Olivia‘s question when she thought the fire nation priest was dead he wasn’t he was knocked out because the SD bounty, hunters animal knocks people out with the tongue that’s what happened to all the firenation priest, they were just knocked out.
Well that's because he WAS. If it wasn't for Sokka. Sai would not have even had ANY air ship plans. It was Sokka who answered the weight and balance issue with relief valves and an open top to release pressure. He DID help invent the thing. Sai wasn't even close to a prototype until he saw the modifications Sokka added.
Yess let's goo the finale episode of the ATLA Netflix series is epic and Amazing and when aang is full on godzilla mode that was awesome and can't wait and I hope we get a season 2 of the ATLA Netflix series and this season was fantastic and fun thank you reel rejects for reacting to the live action series and reel rejects enjoy your weekend
These are good comments. I actually liked the Aang gang actors, but I wish the writers room had figured out how to develop those characters better. Doing light is harder that doing dark. I'd say a 7.5/10.
33:05 the repetitiveness of the avatars was actually implemented in the animated show later in season 3 when Aang asks the previous avatars about what he needed to do against the Ozai and they all tell him to "you gotta sacrifice your own morals for he greater good" and Aang is actually annoyed BY the repetitiveness. So I'm genuinely curious if they ever do get a season 3 greenlit, how are they gonna to adapt that portion of plot.
I watched this version of Avatar first, and am now watching the animated show. I kept getting the feeling during this show that the bones of the story is fantastic, but that i was missing a lot of the depth and character that animation can bring. One of the more fascinating things i found when watching just the first couple episodes of the animated series is that the live action very made the main 3 very passive. The first example is when Aang appears and Katara doesn't go to catch him when he faints. It's small, but they pile up, and takes away a lot of the charm and connection.
One quick comment before I start watching your aftershow commentary all throughout the episode I was giggling like crazy with your both of your quick sarcasm to stop happening in the episode. It was probably one of the best ones yet, so I just wanna let you know that I totally appreciate, how you guys operate and do your car your live action comments during the show love you guys. See you in the after the commentary

I for one,really like this series for what it was. Was it perfect? of course not - but it captured the essence of the animated show and that’s all that matters to me. I’m pretty optimistic about it being renewed for the second season.
I never watched the animated series, but I like what this show was. I'm highly interested in uncle/nephew relationship and I would come back for a season 2.
Honestly, Book 2 is where things kick into gear for me, and Book 3 is peak, so i had low expectations for Book 1. I'm pleasantly surprised, though I wish it was a longer season.
As much as this series is not perfect. It is still an great adaption to me. What a journey we went on once again! Sure it wasn't perfect,but it was so nice to see this story again in a slightly remixed way. I felt the spirit of Avatar with this show and I am very certain a season 2 can improve a lot of the faults we had with this first season.
I’m so interested how they’re going to make the Katara we see in book 4, my favorite fight scene is when she is forced to learn a certain bending. I need to see this badass again lol
@haydenberends3905 I'm pretty sure season 1 is book one, season 2 is book two, and season 3 is book 9 yall both can't count I am joking it is book three in the third season edit: although Aang has not learned any water bending/ never attempted learning fire bending at all either so they've got a fair bit to do. If they have it that he never learns any other bending I actually wouldn't be surprised that much, they skipped a fair bit of character development for him this season
It feels like a show that COULD become great, but didn't manage to hit its stride in season one. Sometimes the pacing is weird, sometimes there's just narratively clunky moments. I mean... WHY exactly did Zhao require a magic dagger to kill the spirit? It's already supposed to be mortal. Those fish aren't really risking much to begin with if you still can't kill them without the Fillet Knife of Destiny. There's still a lot to like, though. Really hope they can tighten things up for season 2.
I wish y'all would stop trying to compare it to the original. Like one piece it's not gonna be an exact copy of the original it's it own entity. If this was an exact copy I would rather watch the animated series. It's trying to be it's own thing but agree to disagree
Hey, here’s something I just found out I was watching RUclips clips about avatar animated series and there was an episode. I don’t know if it was in the third season but it was definitely the fire nation and they did use the 41st as a diversion I don’t know if in the animated series I didn’t see the part of this if they said it was the same group, but they did mention the 41st as the group they were going to sacrifice😮
I really enjoy the season finale episode. All I can say is I can't wait for Season 2 so I can get more of the story and hope that everything is even better for the next installment. Also I wish Amber Midthunder was playing a different character that was going to be more of a regular. That would've been awesome to have her in way more episodes. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
In the end I felt the show is about Zuko's hero's journey. It's obvious that the writers are more interested in his story than Aang's because even in the animated it has more depth. Aang's story is more at present, the way he interacted with people, and the way he goof around and is still a child and eventually matures finding the balance between his beliefs and his duty as an avatar which I think where this show failed. It would have benefitted them if they had more than 8 eps where they have breather ones where the group just interact with each other goofing around.
Okay I just have to say the CGI in this whole show was AMAZING!!! I don’t think any other show i’ve watched other than maybe stranger things, that have had this high of quality of CGI. Especially the Ocean Spirit scene. I genuinely wonder what the budget was for this show cus it must’ve been huge. I’d overall give the show an 8/10
I didn’t see them going for the romance on this show based on how baby faced Aang is and how mature Katara looks, but after seeing some cast interviews from a couple weeks ago… NOW I see it.
@@roni2971 now he is NOT baby faced. Kiawentiio keep wearing heels to hold her height difference w Gordon 😂 I thinka it's kinda cute. Ikr! Now i see it too! I am rooting !! "You are my forever baby girl" 😂😂😂
@40:45... Zuko cannot beat Kitara on a full moon at the end of season 1, where Kitara was acknowledged as good as master even in the animated series. They did exclude the episodes from the animation where Kitara struggled with water bending, but that's not to say she gets everything quickly. You saw her struggle with the water whip, which was better highlighted in the animation. Zuko could beat her at the begining of season 1, which we saw... but not at the end of season 1 when she'd come into her own.
I have never been this early. Love your channel thank you so much for your hardwork filming/editing and sharing your time with us on RUclips .please take care
Kurk didnt talk to Aang until the finale. He never had a knife. zhao atleast waited until the day break. Zuko has great form. I was his actions in the training boot camp. Zhao burned it instead of stabbing it. Katara had atleast trapped Zuko in ice at that point. Godzilla King of monsters attack. I wished we had gotten that first agni kai. from zuko and zhao. Iroh bbq'd his ass This is different they don’t to the pakku and gran gran thing which I love becasue it was a little bit too convenient.
Unfortunately for Zhao, he's not the one who's intelligent. Azula is. She's the one that's been feeding him info to subvert Zuko. Iroh even mentions that Zhao is too well informed. As if someone smarter is helping him. And she IS. lol. If it weren't for Azula Zhao would never have even thought to try to learn about the Moon and Ocean spirits.

Zhao threw a fire ball that Sokka batted away with the fan in episode 2.

What would you rate the Season out of 10?!
I gave one piece live action a 8.5 I give Avatar live action a solid 8 they are the 2 greatest live action animes ever my opinion
8/10 for me, and I hope they improve the show in Season 2
7.5/10 It’s has its few edges and few corners. But I honestly overall enjoy it. Btw Zuko carries hard in this series I want to see more.
7.5/10 only because of the flaws
6 or 6.5. There are just some changes I struggle to get behind. A lot of poor writing, good moments stripped away from characters, and weird pacing at times.
This show can be summed up in ONE sentence. "But I've gotten to the point... *looks camera dead in the eye* you should know this too."
ZHAO used firebending during the attack in Kyoshi Island
One thing I would have done differently is that I would have made Sokka try and struggle to save Yue.

Despite the obvious few issues at hand I am very much looking forward to a season 2. I really hope they realise that they need more episodes per season and 8 just is not enough, they cant capture anywhere near enough of the next season in 8 episodes.
multi-layered ness of the good characters is súch a good point you made! The fact that Aang and Katara can be jealous, that Katara’s hope can evolve into frustration at the hopelessness of the earthbenders on the ship, those scenes are so good from the animated series. because they have that multi-layeredness, a tension where you root for them, just as the good parts within the fire nation that are fleshed out in the live-action show.
I'm also sitting around a 75-80% range. Characters have been great for the most part. The writing and Aang are lacking but as someone who loves the animated series, this adaptation isn't that bad.
@@kmjkmjkmj great don’t watch seasons 2 and 3 👍😂👋
Our hearts STOPPED when Momo got hit 😂 We were about to tear down this show and everyone involved
For a moment I really though "Come one, not Momo! You cannot do this! DAMN YOU!"
Showrunner is really taking this seriously and taking in all the good and bad and really working to improve it for next season. Let’s hope that happens. I say for me it’s 8/10.
Totally agrees. Can see the showrunners are really trying their best to make it justice. If they really listen to some of the opinions and eliminate the flaws that happened in this season. Season 2 has the potential to be mind-blowingly great.
i dont understand the people who say the cgi is bad. its absolutely phenomenal.
i think its only kind of cringe looking when they use cgi to render gordon and when they do those flips in fight scenes. specifically gordon in the first episode at the northern air temple, then inside the koi close up in this one. as for the fight scenes, when they're thrown, it's too janky and needs to look more natural.
the bending and creatures and sets are all magnificent though
I liked the bending in this episode, they did the fights better than in the last IMO
I'm watching all 8 episodes. Of course I'm huge fan Avatar: The Last Airbender (animation).
So talking about for movie all episodes is very cool and amazing! Amazing effect, visual, CGI and more stuff.
I'm really want next see new 2 season and more! 🙏🔥
Actor (emotions, accent, voice):
🔹Aang - Need learning be perfect (Gordon Cormier)
🔹Katara - Need learning be perfect (Kiawentiio Tarbell)
🔹Sokka - Need learning be perfect (Ian Ousley)
🔹Zuko - Need learning be perfect (Dallas James Liu)
🔹Iroh - Perfect 🔥 (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee)
🔹Azula - Need learning be perfect (Elizabeth Yu)
🔹Fire Lord Ozai - Perfect 🔥 (Daniel Dae Kim)
🔹Commander Zhao - Perfect 🔥 (Ken Leung)
What Dallas did great as silo same for Ian
I think part of the bonding and developing Ang that’s misses compared to the original is the amount of episodes. The cartoon has 20 for the season. That’s a lot in comparison. I thought this did a good job. Sadly Ang probably wasn’t my favorite in the original season. He’s a sheltered child which puts him at odds with the others. His development started later for me.
20:15 I just realised, that kataras speech here is supposed to be the speech at the southern air temple gyatso incident. 😮
In the cartoon its done waay too early. Here it's got more buildup and payoff
15:03 Zhao’s firebending master is Jeong Jeong, do you remember that episode?
4:20 Bruh, from the look on their faces some of them were like 'This kid. Look, I get it, but we are not prepared if we are going to be sent as fireball shield and burned alive!"
I really like the change they did with Paku accepting Katara as a master in this version. It felt a little sahllow in the cartoon. Like he only taught Katara because she was the grandchild of the woman he loved, not because of her skill. In this, he sees that he has to adapt and changes with the times.
I hear what you and Olivia are saying about the time jumping and how it affected the character developments of everybody else. Do you think that this show could have benefited from being an eight episode two a 12 episode show or 10 episode show do you think having the time so they can have episodes For character development for everybody else in this season not a lot but just enough because an hour is a long time and maybe having like two more episodes just so they can be character in time span development if it was a 10 episode show do you think it could it could’ve worked being a one hour episodeI totally welcome your comment. What do you think and everybody else now I am leaning towards your camp a lot that maybe two more episodes of like filler for character development might have helped a lot.
12:19 the way the color went to B&W I’m not going to lie I was like ooooooh noooo what happen?! ….oooh wait that’s the show lol
Hi glad you guys made it to the final episode. An answer to Olivia‘s question when she thought the fire nation priest was dead he wasn’t he was knocked out because the SD bounty, hunters animal knocks people out with the tongue that’s what happened to all the firenation priest, they were just knocked out.
40:26 She kinda is a Mary Sue in this show, agreed. In the cartoon, she at least had training from Pakku, but here she just declared herself master 😂
Right?! That was my biggest issue with the show. Katara basically became a martial arts master with zero training
NGL, when Momo goes down, my immediate reaction was,"Momo is probably an expensive character to animate" 🤣
Fun fact the old water master was in the cowboys with john wayne as a kid so good
Well that's because he WAS. If it wasn't for Sokka. Sai would not have even had ANY air ship plans. It was Sokka who answered the weight and balance issue with relief valves and an open top to release pressure. He DID help invent the thing. Sai wasn't even close to a prototype until he saw the modifications Sokka added.
20:31 That score 😍 Goosebumps
I have been waiting for this video let's Go let's just hope there will be a book 2
I loved watching this with you and Olivia i just really hope they make some changes in S2 because boy do they need it
22:23 No one’s perfect, that’s life 101
Yess let's goo the finale episode of the ATLA Netflix series is epic and Amazing and when aang is full on godzilla mode that was awesome and can't wait and I hope we get a season 2 of the ATLA Netflix series and this season was fantastic and fun thank you reel rejects for reacting to the live action series and reel rejects enjoy your weekend
These are good comments. I actually liked the Aang gang actors, but I wish the writers room had figured out how to develop those characters better. Doing light is harder that doing dark. I'd say a 7.5/10.
33:05 the repetitiveness of the avatars was actually implemented in the animated show later in season 3 when Aang asks the previous avatars about what he needed to do against the Ozai and they all tell him to "you gotta sacrifice your own morals for he greater good" and Aang is actually annoyed BY the repetitiveness. So I'm genuinely curious if they ever do get a season 3 greenlit, how are they gonna to adapt that portion of plot.
the biggest Snap ever snapped in the whole wide world 9:21
I watched this version of Avatar first, and am now watching the animated show. I kept getting the feeling during this show that the bones of the story is fantastic, but that i was missing a lot of the depth and character that animation can bring.
One of the more fascinating things i found when watching just the first couple episodes of the animated series is that the live action very made the main 3 very passive. The first example is when Aang appears and Katara doesn't go to catch him when he faints. It's small, but they pile up, and takes away a lot of the charm and connection.
One quick comment before I start watching your aftershow commentary all throughout the episode I was giggling like crazy with your both of your quick sarcasm to stop happening in the episode. It was probably one of the best ones yet, so I just wanna let you know that I totally appreciate, how you guys operate and do your car your live action comments during the show love you guys. See you in the after the commentary

Great Reaction! This show is ok overall but Zuko and Iroh was great! 👍
The lack of cold breath really bothers me ever since you called it out 😭
I enjoyed watching the whole reaction of you guys ❤
Can't wait for season 2, hope they don't screw up my favorite character that's coming up.
I for one,really like this series for what it was. Was it perfect? of course not - but it captured the essence of the animated show and that’s all that matters to me. I’m pretty optimistic about it being renewed for the second season.
"my girlfriend became the moon"
"thats rough buddy"
It's not a water kaiju, it's a *SEA* monster
7.5 to 8 out of 10 is a fair rating! 👍♥
I never watched the animated series, but I like what this show was. I'm highly interested in uncle/nephew relationship and I would come back for a season 2.
"GODZILLA" 😂 YESSS
We need more interaction with Appa and Momo!
Zhao, put that cookie down, now!!!
Although changes are needed I really enjoyed watching it and loved having oliva on this journey !
this show needed 12 episodes that would have helped, trying to do all this with only 8 episodes wasn’t enough
18:36 -- Nice Blue Öyster Cult reference!! Go, Go, Godzilla!
Honestly, Book 2 is where things kick into gear for me, and Book 3 is peak, so i had low expectations for Book 1. I'm pleasantly surprised, though I wish it was a longer season.
As much as this series is not perfect. It is still an great adaption to me. What a journey we went on once again! Sure it wasn't perfect,but it was so nice to see this story again in a slightly remixed way. I felt the spirit of Avatar with this show and I am very certain a season 2 can improve a lot of the faults we had with this first season.
Why Yue can bending water while moon is gone ? Because she has a Moon Spirit?
I’m so interested how they’re going to make the Katara we see in book 4, my favorite fight scene is when she is forced to learn a certain bending. I need to see this badass again lol
You mean book 3?
@haydenberends3905 I'm pretty sure season 1 is book one, season 2 is book two, and season 3 is book 9 yall both can't count
I am joking it is book three in the third season edit: although Aang has not learned any water bending/ never attempted learning fire bending at all either so they've got a fair bit to do. If they have it that he never learns any other bending I actually wouldn't be surprised that much, they skipped a fair bit of character development for him this season
I probably give it a grade to Greg’s. A solid B- 8/10.
It’s the same in the cartoon fish just leaves aang on the cliff leaves
It feels like a show that COULD become great, but didn't manage to hit its stride in season one. Sometimes the pacing is weird, sometimes there's just narratively clunky moments.
I mean... WHY exactly did Zhao require a magic dagger to kill the spirit? It's already supposed to be mortal. Those fish aren't really risking much to begin with if you still can't kill them without the Fillet Knife of Destiny.
There's still a lot to like, though. Really hope they can tighten things up for season 2.
I call those Zack Snyder moments. Something so simple, yet they over complicate it.
I wish y'all would stop trying to compare it to the original. Like one piece it's not gonna be an exact copy of the original it's it own entity. If this was an exact copy I would rather watch the animated series. It's trying to be it's own thing but agree to disagree
Then show runners should create their own show instead of remaking The original to which People will DEFINITELY COMPARE IT TO xD
I really hope that we get a second season
Hey, here’s something I just found out I was watching RUclips clips about avatar animated series and there was an episode. I don’t know if it was in the third season but it was definitely the fire nation and they did use the 41st as a diversion I don’t know if in the animated series I didn’t see the part of this if they said it was the same group, but they did mention the 41st as the group they were going to sacrifice😮
I really enjoy the season finale episode.
All I can say is I can't wait for Season 2 so I can get more of the story and hope that everything is even better for the next installment.
Also I wish Amber Midthunder was playing a different character that was going to be more of a regular. That would've been awesome to have her in way more episodes.
Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
In the end I felt the show is about Zuko's hero's journey. It's obvious that the writers are
more interested in his story than Aang's because even in the animated it has more depth. Aang's story is more at present, the way he interacted with people, and the way he goof around and is still a child and eventually matures finding the balance between his beliefs and his duty as an avatar which I think where this show failed. It would have benefitted them if they had more than 8 eps where they have breather ones where the group just interact with each other goofing around.
Okay I just have to say the CGI in this whole show was AMAZING!!! I don’t think any other show i’ve watched other than maybe stranger things, that have had this high of quality of CGI. Especially the Ocean Spirit scene. I genuinely wonder what the budget was for this show cus it must’ve been huge. I’d overall give the show an 8/10
9:43 MY FAVORITE MOMENT OF ALL 😂😂😂😂🫶🏻
They needa change what yue said 😂 “i was touched by the moon spirit as a child” woahhhhhh hold up wait a minute lol
Zhao firebends Ep2.
Sokka saves Suki from it
My heart melted when Katara said to Aang : "- I need you". We see care, we see affection and potential romance arch in the future))
I didn’t see them going for the romance on this show based on how baby faced Aang is and how mature Katara looks, but after seeing some cast interviews from a couple weeks ago… NOW I see it.
@@roni2971 now he is NOT baby faced. Kiawentiio keep wearing heels to hold her height difference w Gordon 😂 I thinka it's kinda cute.
Ikr! Now i see it too! I am rooting !!
"You are my forever baby girl" 😂😂😂
So Yue can still bend since she has the moon life force in her?
Hope you check out Shogun ep 1 and 2 next.
WE NEED 10 EPISODES
Admiral used fire banding in the 2 episode... against k. warriors...
@40:45... Zuko cannot beat Kitara on a full moon at the end of season 1, where Kitara was acknowledged as good as master even in the animated series. They did exclude the episodes from the animation where Kitara struggled with water bending, but that's not to say she gets everything quickly. You saw her struggle with the water whip, which was better highlighted in the animation. Zuko could beat her at the begining of season 1, which we saw... but not at the end of season 1 when she'd come into her own.
I have never been this early. Love your channel thank you so much for your hardwork filming/editing and sharing your time with us on RUclips .please take care
Kurk didnt talk to Aang until the finale. He never had a knife. zhao atleast waited until the day break. Zuko has great form. I was his actions in the training boot camp. Zhao burned it instead of stabbing it. Katara had atleast trapped Zuko in ice at that point. Godzilla King of monsters attack. I wished we had gotten that first agni kai. from zuko and zhao. Iroh bbq'd his ass
This is different they don’t to the pakku and gran gran thing which I love becasue it was a little bit too convenient.
Unfortunately for Zhao, he's not the one who's intelligent. Azula is. She's the one that's been feeding him info to subvert Zuko. Iroh even mentions that Zhao is too well informed. As if someone smarter is helping him. And she IS. lol. If it weren't for Azula Zhao would never have even thought to try to learn about the Moon and Ocean spirits.
