Pleaaase watch the original animated version!! Uncle Iroh drops even more gems in the show, and you will get more information. It gets so much high praise for good reason!
I try to never get to excited for live actions or compare them too much with the originals because that is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Live actions will never hit 100% like the animations did because some things that are achievable in animation (facial expressions, magic, talking animals, some types of comedy, sometimes lines, choreography (dance or fights)) won't cross over well to live action. In my opinion all companies can do is create a good team, get talented *hard working* actors, and try to study the lore as much as possible. I will say I would like to know what happened that caused the creators of Avatar: the last airbender to not be involved but besides that I think they did a great job bringing a beloved show to live action. BTW love all your videos!!!
The fact that you binged for 6 hours helps me feel validated in my love of the live action. So many people were hypercritical. And it's just refreshing to see someone NEW react because you can appreciate it for what it is - not for what the cartoon is. And it's BRILLIANT.
Honestly most ppl who haven’t seen the OG , and have watched this do seem to enjoy this. Which is one of the good things abt bringing something to live action from animation. Your introducing the world to ppl who haven’t seen the animation yet cause they think animation is for kids (or just hasn’t seen it for another reason )
@@StevesRankings for sure! That's the right of every viewer. I think there is just something refreshing about someone who isn't weighed down by expectation. An adaptation can be valid on its own without needing to be lesser than the source material.
@@StevesRankingsyeah it’s valid but they saying it’s horrible just cuz it ain’t have what they want or not as similar to the series which was dumb to think it wasn’t gonna be changed 😭
Didn't realize how needed a genuinely blind reaction was! Avatar has a lot of fans and I don't blame any of them (okay I'll be honest...I am part of the them) for being vocal about opinions of the live action, but it's wildly refreshing to hear from someone who is completely unfamiliar with the story! I love it. watch out for spoilers though! for a story this popular and old, a lot of people assume that spoilers aren't a big deal.
And it plays at the end when Zuko chooses to stay with Iroh over the Avatar 😢😢😢 bruh this is one of the ONLY reasons I dislike the Live Action. Sure it's iconic. But it's an Easter egg for the cartoons fans. New people like Billy just won't appreciate it. And some ATLA watchers probably won't even notice the remaster. But there's a lot of stuff that's put in the show that's just for og watchers which I love. But I hate bc new watchers can't appreciate it too. Not the shows fault tho, it's the audience. Cabbages guy, Bumi and the Rock Candy, Leaves From The Vine... These are things that could've been taken out and wouldn't have changed anything for the Live Action. Thx for giving us these. But my ex... Lol. a first time watcher made me feel so sad bc she didn't get the laughs or tears.
I watched with my sister. We've booth been fans of avatar since it was still airing as the cartoon. The SECOND I picked up on the melody I started sobbing. It wasn't until she picked up on it a few seconds later that she stopped asking why I was crying 🤣 it has a chokehold on my heart.
This show has been getting such mixed reviews, but I REALLY hope they get more seasons. Despite some missteps, it's obvious to me that everyone involved respect the original series.
You should check out " the avatar cast answers the most googled questions on avatar the last airbender" , you can see how much the cast truely cared for the show and their characters
@@ReaperXxKHave you watched the animated shows leaves of the vine is a song about the death of iroh son I don’t remember if it was confirmed or a theory that iroh sees his son in zuko. Also it was an ode to one of the creators who had a loss in his real life
Ironically I started with the live action too cause I never watched the cartoon and binged it all last weekend. Yet when I tried to watch the cartoon I only got up to episode 4. It's too kidishly happy for my tastes. Same problem I had with the one piece live anime. The tones are just too different and if you don't like cartoons like me, it's hard to watch. So I hope the fans can let people who aren't into cartoons like this live action shows without screaming at us when we tell them we enjoy watching them.
@@africansweetheart9590glad you like the live action! I honestly enjoyed it too. Still like the cartoon more, but this was fun to watch and I really liked the last episode! Excited for season 2! Maybe you’ll never get into the cartoon, but I would say season 1 is the most kiddish out of all of the seasons. Season 3 is SO good! But if you never continue l hope they make all three seasons in live action so we can see all that will unfold 😊
@@africansweetheart9590 the animated series depends on the characters developments more, because at first they are childish but with time u can see them change and make hard decisions, its made for kids after all but the writing is so good i watched it as an adult and i loved it, they did a good job making the characters act like kids while also slowly realizing that the weight of the world is on them.
I just love the fact that while watching Katara and Sukko argue on ep 4 Billy got angry that they were acting like siblings!!! He really said this is not the time nor the place😂
Daniel dae kims movements during the agni kai were so damn smooth When zuko was walking down the ship between his crew was so heartwarming. He deserves loyalty from his crew, theyre alive because of him.
so here's the things you might wanna know: 1. It's Appa, not yipyip, they say "yip yip" to tell Appa whenever they're going to fly. tho it's cute naming Appa yipyip😂❤ 2. Aang's an avatar, just like all his reincarnations, he too must master an element first before he can use it. being the avatar means being able to master 4 elements, so u have to master it first. and that's why they're traveling, to find Aang's teacher. 3. In the animated series, those singers/musicians in the cave, and azula weren't supposed to be in season 1, they're supposed to appear in season 2 so it's actually good seeing them. 4. the badgermoles are the og earthbenders, the flying bisons are the og airbenders, the fire-breathing dragon are the og firebenders (though it's not seen here cuz it's on book 3) and the yin and yang fish are the og waterbenders.
The way they added those flashbacks scenes of Iroh and Zuko brings more depth to their relationship and made me so emotional 🥹 thanks for watching this show!
idk what anybody is on but a fresh perspective without any pre-existing notions from the animated series is so refreshing to see! people have been judging the live-action too much bec theyve been comparing the two and not appreciating for what it is on its own fr these reactions of experiencing everything for the first time was so entertaining mans got me laughing at 2am! keep em coming billy!!
Haha, I was reading through the comments waiting for someone to bring this up. I know I'm 6 months late into watching the reactions but everytime he says their names wrong kills me! I love it.
Some people are determined to hate things because it's different from what they expected. There's a lot of good in the show. I think a lot of the changes make sense. Most of the failings of the show have to do with not having enough time to see the character relationships develop or in the case of Katara and Aang their bending skills.
Love to see you reacting to this! I love that the Live Action is bringing in new fans. This series means so much to me and it makes me so happy to see more people get into it because of this. My step-brother plays Hakoda (Sokka and Katara’s dad) and it’s so cool to see people I know in the cast! Especially for a series I grew up with. And I always LOVE seeing your reactions! Love the vibe you bring ❤
Wow that’s really cool. You know someone in the cast! Glad you were able to enjoy it cause a lot of my comments of people just complaining is wild to me. Thanks for watching
@@BillyBinges I really don't understand the complaining comments, regardless of how people feel about the show I love the fact it's bringing in more new people and interest in watching the original. (Young Katara is also someone from my area and it's just wild to see). Either way, thank you for the entertainment! Love your videos so much. Can't wait for more from you :)
The amount of hate the Netflix version gets is astounding. Sure its not exactly like the animated series, but its its onw flavor and theres nothing wrong with it. I enjoy the more darker tone. Sure there are things I don't agree with or particularly like, but its done a much better job at portraying the cartoon/anime than the movie did.
Uncle Iroh is mine and many many peoples favourite fictional character of all time , I literally have a tattoo of the animated show iroh on my leg , he’s the goat 🐐
I’m so so so happy that Billy is loving the show, I grew up watching the cartoon countless times and I enjoyed the live action so much, great to see him diving into the series and I hope he does watch the cartoon one day!
When they are in the bar and the patrons are all saying different things they heard about the avatar, the pirates and the canyon guide, those are all callbacks to episodes of the animation that didn’t get translated to live action
Bumi in the animated series was more likeable than Bumi in the live-action. I love Bumi and he was very powerful, a lot more powerful than the live-action portrays him to be. I didn't really like the Bumi in this live-action but apart from that, the live-action is good. Lovely reaction Billy😊😊 you should react to the first season of the animated series after this, its not that long and you'll enjoy it.
I absolutely love that you are vibing so hard with it. Avatar is such a significant part of so many people’s lives. I feel that your would go crazy for the original
Yessssssss!!! I watched the animated series but love watching this with you!! Zuko and his uncle in the animated series are amazing, hoping that comes across in this .
I thought we couldn’t top Heather with the mistaken names but Yip Yip has officially taken the crown in my eyes 😂 Joining the chorus of people saying to do the original animation for the channel ❤ Iroh and Zuko are the most compelling parts of this adaptation. You can tell the writers were really smitten with the Fire Nation because they have the best storytelling seen in this season (which is the only real complaint I have now that I’ve finished because Team Avatar and Aang himself I feel the least attach to) Billy! Add ONE PIECE to your list OMG 😂
I'm so HAPPY you decided to watch the whole show! It doesn't deserve the hate that it gets honestly and it's so refreshing to see someone new being introduced to this show! You get to fully enjoy the live adaptation and, if you watch the original show too, you'll enjoy it even more!❤
As a fan of the tv show, I have only episode 8 left to watch but this live action has been amazing to me. You can tell it was created with a lot of care. In my opinion Netflix did a really good job here
I love this so so much lol the fact that this was my first time being introduced to the last air bender and I was just as hype as you never seeing it before or knowing anything about it I was real mad there was only 8 episodes lol and I will admit that zuko is my favorite character so far his backstory and his relationship with his uncle has stolen my heart lol
Billy: "it likes being put in between a rock and a hard place." Sokka in "bitter work": " wow I couldn't imagine what that feels like."🙄 Edit:for those don't know in the animated series there is an episode where Sokka literally gets stuck in the ground and aang said the rock and hard place line😂.
I'm so glad you continued watching it! This show really goes hard. I hope you do end up watching the animated version on here. I'd love to watch your reaction to it!!
I love that you can't bring yourself to stop watching. Once the world of Avatar gets ahold of you, you can never let it go. There is just too much wisdom to walk away from.
Thank you for continuing your Avatar journey. Made me chuckle here and there with your commentery lol I wish they had kept two of the episodes from the animation as they were my favs but they mashed them together here. Oh well. Going to see your next reaction now.
Wow, we actually got to see Billy binge something. Seriously though, THANK YOU for watching the live action first. So many people say 'I don't think I'd like the live action if I hadn't seen the cartoon' and prove they aren't letting the adaptation stand on its own. But the adaptation is GOOD and is actually TRYING to stand on its own and not rely on the cartoon, which I respect, so it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't have previous experience get so sucked into it. Thank you so much :D
I like how they switched it up, a made it a little darker and more serious. But I hope that doesn’t make you dislike the cartoon when you watch it because it fails to present itself like the live actio. The cartoon is very goofy, light hearted, and funny. All the characters, even the evil ones make jokes and are kiddish and wacky.
12:35 Reminds me of the song 'help is on the way' Lyrics be like: It may be midnight or midday Never early, never late He gon' stand by what He claim Lived enough life to say I heard your heart I see your pain Out in the dark Out in the rain Feel so alone Feel so afraid I heard you pray in Jesus' name It may be midnight or midday It's never early, never late He gon' stand by what He claim I've lived enough life to say Help is on the way (roundin' the corner) Help is on the way (comin' for ya) Help is on the way (yeah, yeah) I've lived enough life to say Help is on the way
Them playing the song at the funeral that was one of the last things the voice actor for the uncle recorded in the original before he passed away. ❤ if I remember correctly they dedicated the episode he sang it in in the original to the VA.
The symbols in the intro title cards are the elements. Slightly archaic/stylized Chinese for Air (ep 1/2) Earth (3/4) Fire (5/6) and Water (7/8) PS: Ep 6 is my favorite from the live action 😭
Someone who has never watched the show will not understand how A.) utter iconic secret tunnel song is… and B.) how utter infuriating they did it in season 1 with Sokka and Katara.. 😢
I’m glad you didn’t watch the animated series before watching this. It’s good to get an unbiased opinion. I keep comparing it to the original, but I know some things had to change. I just don’t know why they changed things the way they did.
Thank you Billy. people have been saying it’s terrible and that it’s on par with that movie that doesn’t exists 😭 or that it’s plain bad in general. I really loved it. Please react to the OG cartoon it’s the greatest of all time.
It's awesome watching someone go into this completely blind! I'm an OG fan of the series, and so this was kind of a mixed experience for me. There were things I loved, this I was kind of meh about, and somethings that I just cannot figure out why they thought it was a good idea to do it that way??? Just really confusingly bad choices. But overall I enjoyed it, and I'm really, really hoping you watch the animated one. I freaking love seeing people experience that for the first time.
Kkk Billy you just like me. I binged the entire thing in a weekend. And i rewatxhed it a yesterday and will finish it again today. Never watched the cartoon. I tried to but i only got up to episode 4 and tbh i have to admit that cartoons arent my thing. I hope they release season 2 fast cause the ending wss CRAZY.
Happy to see you're still enjoying the show✨️ I love the cartoon and I love this live action for different reasons. I truly hope we get a second and third season, but with the reviews that the show's getting I'm not so sure we will😢
it's really kinda cool that you haven't seen the series yet b/c no one else is coming at it from that perspective, that i know of.... it would be GREAT to see what you think of the series after watching this first... it's like folks who watch Star Wars in universe chronological order rather than release order ...... please do it.... for the channel!
@@BillyBinges oh, no!... i'm not asking you to do Star Wars... AT ALL.... i'm a Trekker myself and could care less about SW... just showing you the comparison... #BingersUnited
'Secret Tunnel' is iconic! Enjoying your reaction to this series, I've watched both - the OG animation and the live action - the og is the best but I really enjoyed the la, also you should check out 'The Legend of Korra' a sequel to Avatar, it's set around 70-80 years after the events in Avatar, that's also pretty good too
These episodes were heavily condensed, but I still really liked it .. I binged it, so that's something. I think it's so cool that we're getting this perspective from someone who's never seen it 😂😊
Watching Billy react to the live-action just reminds me how great the original cartoon is so many moments that we didn't get to see in the live action. Hope you watch the original cartoon it is a thousand times better.
I grew up with the Avatar the last Airbender animated version but their are things that i like in the Netflix live action show and things i don't but all in all if i have to give the live action version a rating then it would be a 7/10
After reading the comments from my first video i see alot of people upset that this was my introduction
Its too late yall.. Im still gonna watch the animated one. Just dont know if ima do it for the channel yet
Is there anyone watching who enjoyed the later episodes? Or are we still mad at netflix??

7:37 To truly understand the epicness that is secret tunnel, Billy, you must watch the original series.
THIISSS and also why it’s infuriating they put it in season 1 🥲🥲
And that Katara and Sokka were the ones in there together. Makes no sense😩

You can tell the writers were really smitten with the Fire Nation because they have the best storytelling seen in this season (which is the only real complaint I have now that I’ve finished because Team Avatar and Aang himself I feel the least attach to)
Billy! Add ONE PIECE to your list OMG 😂
I'm so HAPPY you decided to watch the whole show! It doesn't deserve the hate that it gets honestly and it's so refreshing to see someone new being introduced to this show! You get to fully enjoy the live adaptation and, if you watch the original show too, you'll enjoy it even more!❤
As a fan of the tv show, I have only episode 8 left to watch but this live action has been amazing to me. You can tell it was created with a lot of care. In my opinion Netflix did a really good job here
I watched all 8 episodes in one day 😂 great job Billy keep up the amazing work
I knew I'd miss the series, so I've been spreading it out across a few days. 😭
I love this so so much lol the fact that this was my first time being introduced to the last air bender and I was just as hype as you never seeing it before or knowing anything about it I was real mad there was only 8 episodes lol and I will admit that zuko is my favorite character so far his backstory and his relationship with his uncle has stolen my heart lol
Calling Katara cataracts is CRAYYYYYYZY 😂😂
Billy: "it likes being put in between a rock and a hard place."
Sokka in "bitter work": " wow I couldn't imagine what that feels like."🙄
Edit:for those don't know in the animated series there is an episode where Sokka literally gets stuck in the ground and aang said the rock and hard place line😂.
Theres an animated continuation of the story too called The Legend Of Kora
I love seeing the perspective of someone who hasn't seen the original!
glad you’re continuing this! you should do the animated series next!
Really appreciate that you stayed up that late for us! Thank you!
I was enjoying it a lot! Paid the price the next day 😂
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS BILLY. DRINKING THE WHOLE OCEAN CAUSE OF U
I may did a little squeal of excitement when I seen you just posted.
I'm so glad you continued watching it! This show really goes hard. I hope you do end up watching the animated version on here. I'd love to watch your reaction to it!!
I love that you can't bring yourself to stop watching. Once the world of Avatar gets ahold of you, you can never let it go. There is just too much wisdom to walk away from.
Billy Binges fan for almost 3 years bro fr
Me too! ❤
I’m back watching your videos, and I’m glad I did
This is underrated
Welcome back!
3:10 I can’t wait until you watch the animated series and meet a very special character
41:09 aang has to be careful going into avatar state because if he dies in the avatar state the cycle of the avatar is over
Spoiler
@@Galiant2010not really
@@ITsMando7 It comes up in the story. Has it come up yet?
They know he’s an avatar bc he’s the last airbender, every avatar is born with a bending power already ofc, earth, water, fire, and aang’s is ofc air
Thank you for continuing your Avatar journey. Made me chuckle here and there with your commentery lol
I wish they had kept two of the episodes from the animation as they were my favs but they mashed them together here. Oh well. Going to see your next reaction now.
Wow, we actually got to see Billy binge something.
Seriously though, THANK YOU for watching the live action first. So many people say 'I don't think I'd like the live action if I hadn't seen the cartoon' and prove they aren't letting the adaptation stand on its own. But the adaptation is GOOD and is actually TRYING to stand on its own and not rely on the cartoon, which I respect, so it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't have previous experience get so sucked into it. Thank you so much :D
Og avatar people member the secret tunnel song 😂
Definitely 🙌😁
two loversss forbidden from one anotherr
Episode 4 and 6 are just so good, they really made me fall in love with this Zuko. Dallas Liu portrayed him so well!!!
consistent king ☺️
We try to be!!
"That's enough to make a grown man cry right there" Yo I like their representation of King Boomi!
I love the setup it’s fire 🔥
The reason Aang can't use all 4 elements is because the Avatar is born with a single element & the other 3 must be learned
I really enjoy watching you discover this story through fresh eyes.
44:51 not bro clapping when ozai was burning zuko eye nahh
I like how they switched it up, a made it a little darker and more serious. But I hope that doesn’t make you dislike the cartoon when you watch it because it fails to present itself like the live actio. The cartoon is very goofy, light hearted, and funny. All the characters, even the evil ones make jokes and are kiddish and wacky.
Avatar The Last Airbender live action series is now #1 in the top ten TV shows in Netflix and also in #1 popularity ranking in IMDb
12:35 Reminds me of the song 'help is on the way'
Lyrics be like:
It may be midnight or midday
Never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claim
Lived enough life to say
I heard your heart
I see your pain
Out in the dark
Out in the rain
Feel so alone
Feel so afraid
I heard you pray in Jesus' name
It may be midnight or midday
It's never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claim
I've lived enough life to say
Help is on the way (roundin' the corner)
Help is on the way (comin' for ya)
Help is on the way (yeah, yeah)
I've lived enough life to say
Help is on the way
I really loved the fist reaction and this one, that’s for continuing!
Them playing the song at the funeral that was one of the last things the voice actor for the uncle recorded in the original before he passed away. ❤ if I remember correctly they dedicated the episode he sang it in in the original to the VA.
The symbols in the intro title cards are the elements. Slightly archaic/stylized Chinese for Air (ep 1/2) Earth (3/4) Fire (5/6) and Water (7/8)
PS: Ep 6 is my favorite from the live action 😭
I just saw you added captions to your commentary! As someone with hearing problems I want to thank you very much! :D
Someone who has never watched the show will not understand how A.) utter iconic secret tunnel song is… and
B.) how utter infuriating they did it in season 1 with Sokka and Katara.. 😢
They better do something to make up for it. Maybe they'll still do it? I guess we'll see.
I’m glad you didn’t watch the animated series before watching this. It’s good to get an unbiased opinion. I keep comparing it to the original, but I know some things had to change. I just don’t know why they changed things the way they did.
When Katara returned to the South Pole, *I knew she got sent back to the day that her mom died in front of her.*
Billy has officially changed the character names in my mind. From now on Appa = Yip Yip and Gyatso = Gyro 😂
If you would have seen the original episode about his son, you definitely would have cried, the song gets me every time!
Love how billy said 1 more episode and continues to do another and another
“Leaves from the vine” will never not bring me to tears❤
I love the speeches! I made me shed many tears. Some many bars as you say
NUTS IS WILD BILLY LMAO
Thank you Billy. people have been saying it’s terrible and that it’s on par with that movie that doesn’t exists 😭 or that it’s plain bad in general. I really loved it.
Please react to the OG cartoon it’s the greatest of all time.
It's awesome watching someone go into this completely blind! I'm an OG fan of the series, and so this was kind of a mixed experience for me. There were things I loved, this I was kind of meh about, and somethings that I just cannot figure out why they thought it was a good idea to do it that way??? Just really confusingly bad choices. But overall I enjoyed it, and I'm really, really hoping you watch the animated one. I freaking love seeing people experience that for the first time.
Glad you're enjoying the show! I'm enjoying your reactions
Kkk Billy you just like me. I binged the entire thing in a weekend. And i rewatxhed it a yesterday and will finish it again today. Never watched the cartoon. I tried to but i only got up to episode 4 and tbh i have to admit that cartoons arent my thing. I hope they release season 2 fast cause the ending wss CRAZY.
“My boy ain’t got no legs and he ready to stand up” 😂
Happy to see you're still enjoying the show✨️ I love the cartoon and I love this live action for different reasons. I truly hope we get a second and third season, but with the reviews that the show's getting I'm not so sure we will😢
it's really kinda cool that you haven't seen the series yet b/c no one else is coming at it from that perspective, that i know of.... it would be GREAT to see what you think of the series after watching this first... it's like folks who watch Star Wars in universe chronological order rather than release order ...... please do it.... for the channel!
I’m not sure I’m gonna touch Star Wars on the channel. I’ll do more thinking about it 😂 thanks for watching Gina!
@@BillyBinges oh, no!... i'm not asking you to do Star Wars... AT ALL.... i'm a Trekker myself and could care less about SW... just showing you the comparison... #BingersUnited
@@BillyBinges i meant watch OG ATLA for the channel... my bad
'Secret Tunnel' is iconic! Enjoying your reaction to this series, I've watched both - the OG animation and the live action - the og is the best but I really enjoyed the la, also you should check out 'The Legend of Korra' a sequel to Avatar, it's set around 70-80 years after the events in Avatar, that's also pretty good too
Just in case you didn’t know/realize, Zuko is currently 16 and was 13 when he was banished.
These episodes were heavily condensed, but I still really liked it .. I binged it, so that's something. I think it's so cool that we're getting this perspective from someone who's never seen it 😂😊
Thank you for watching!
Watching Billy react to the live-action just reminds me how great the original cartoon is so many moments that we didn't get to see in the live action. Hope you watch the original cartoon it is a thousand times better.
This show keeps getting better❤.Billy is always funny 😂
I grew up with the Avatar the last Airbender animated version but their are things that i like in the Netflix live action show and things i don't but all in all if i have to give the live action version a rating then it would be a 7/10
I loved the live action!! Happy you liked it
“Is that Kiss?” Had me dying 😂😂
Its funny u think this show is deep & u really enjoy the quotes & one liners cuz thats what makes the animated series so good as well
Bumi! 😁 Bumi is hilarious and one of the strongest earth benders in history! He cracks me up, even when he’s serious! 😂
