      While I agree about Ozai being shown too early, we have to take into account that we already know what the actor looks like, so a reveal wouldn't have had as much impact anyways.

He even sounds fitting to be Ozai if you look up some of his acting roles. He is fluent in Korean and English and acts really well in Korean films and American films. This guy is expensive to have as part of the cast actually. Finding another Asian actor that can embody the character acting wise, is fluent in English, is experienced in acting in the US AND still resemble the character would be difficult to find if this guy did not exist.

      One thing that I miss it's the makeup. In the show Azula wears makeup and it makes her look older and more intimidating in a way (just google "Azula no makeup" you'll get what I mean) I always interpreted that as a deliberate choice of hers, because she is literally a 14 year old leading armies, she doesn't want people to see her as a teenager, she wants people to look at her in awe and respect. Perhaps if they used a more dark makeup palette she would look "meaner". Also Azula in the show has shaper features while this actress have a more round face, but I truly don't think that it's so important. As long as she can deliver a good and convincing performance.

    My best guess for where the character image is pulled from
    Ozai probably the war meeting that Zuko interrupted. Would make sense that he's looking over a map for battle strategies.
    Iroh hard to say could be any scene but my best guess is that he's talking with Zuko right before his Agni Kai with Zhao.
    Azula pretty much impossible since she only had 2 scenes in Season 1 and she didn't even speak. Pretty obvious they plan to expand on her character so she'll be in more scenes in S1 still don't think she'll be a major character til S2.
    Zhao I agree it's pretty obvious during the Blue Spirit episode probably telling his guards not to kill the Avatar while the Blue Spirit has swords to Aangs throat.
    Zuko hard to tell my best guess is that it's either when he's fighting Aang in his room on the ship or when he's alone on the ship right before the pirate assassination attempt.

    I have to disagree on the scar. It was probably a lot worse when Ozai actually did it. Over time it healed but not completely as it's a scar. Not to mention that it looks pretty accurate to the animation. We see the very dark part of the scar on just a tiny bit of his face, but then the lighter burn marks on the surrounding tissue.

And for the eye color, I usually would mind that character have their respective eye color in adaptations but here you can clearly tell who's from the fire nation and Ozai's really pulling off that look, I don't really mind if they don't give them golden contacts (but it'd be definitely bonus points if they do, or even have them change eye color with light or when they firebend from a darker to lighter shade)

      Azula is supposed to exude authority. She's always been like that. She is like her father, athletic and well-built. Wants to show everyone that she's perfect, and expects others to submit to her. Her sharp features add to that aura that is always around her. She is not supposed to be subtly manipulative. She is the crown princess, ofcourse she has gotten away with being manipulative overtly. It is the people around her who had to be subtly manipulative, so as not to incur her wrath.
      A lot of the fans are supposed to forget that she's just a child coz she puts on this air of superiority and maturity. But when u see her take her makeup off and when you see glimpses of her vulnerability, u realize that she is just a child groomed to be this way.

    I would have liked to see Azula's face be more angular, it would have just made more sense for her character. Having a rounder and softer face subconsciously makes her look less malicious. I'm sure the casting director took that into account seeing that they are professionals, so there is probably a very good reason why they went with her instead of someone else that physically fits Azula's character more. But again, it's going to be her performance that is really going to make or break it for the audience.

      Using contacts can cause a lot of issues if someone has allergies (daniel radcliffe had this problem filming harry potter, meaning the character's signature green eyes had to be scrapped for the movies); they can also create issues with visibility for actors with vision impairments (see david tennant and his issues filming Good Omens, where the contacts were the correct prescription but so opaque they were difficult to see through). While it can be done, insisting that it *should* be done just because it'd look nicer is unrealistic. Maybe they'll use contacts, maybe not, but ultimately it matters less than telling the story and suiting the needs of the actors. For me, fantasy eye colors can work in a cartoon but kind of tend to take me out of immersion in live-action.

I agree that zuko's scar could be a bit better and his ear could be burned but at the same time, burn scars fade a bit overtime when they heal, but yes the ear could be burned. Also, acting with characters like these, especially Azula, is more important because the performance needs to be not too over the top with characters that could easily be over the top not casted correctly. I understand being upset initially but they probably casted her for a reason, especially since she doesn't look exactly like the original (the cartoon character). Also, her looking younger fits her being 14 and will make the contrast even more effective if she pulls it off with her acting. If you think she looks like she could play ty lee then I suggest you look up who is actually playing Ty lee because she fits even more.

    Everyone looks so amazing!! I was ready to be so judgy after the disaster that was the Avatar TLA movie, but everyone looks so GOOD!!!!!! The detail is incredible, the outfits are just 😍beautiful and spot on to me, the character justice is wonderful, and I truly appreciate the attention to detail in everything.
    I love Iroh's beard that way, I mean the man looks like someone I want to hug. He's got a teddy bear vibe to him like the cartoon Iroh. Perfect💗
    Zuko's head is shaved and looks just as awkward as the cartoon. I love it! So well done.
    Azula looks great, idk what y'all are talking about. Considering how high the bar is for her character, I'd say the actor did a phenomenal job pulling her off. Don't hate on her when she's doing her best for us to give us an incredible and scary character. Give the woman some love, guys!!
    And Firelord Ozai!!!! OMG I really like that actor because every character he's ever played is done to perfection!! I'm looking forward to seeing him go off like Ozai does. I know he'll do amazing and respect the character for us fans.
    I can't wait to see this show and watch the world we all love come to life!! I'm happy that this fandom is finally getting the live action show we deserved and that this show deserved YEARS ago. Give the actors some love everyone!!! They deserve it so much for everything they've been doing for us.

    • @agent1-085

      I'm glad that people are confident in this because of the OPLA, but it kinda bums me out how that is the reason people opened their minds, as someone who has been following the show for such a long time and knows what good work they've been doing bts/secrets. What I mean is that almost the entire time, people have complained about past LA projects (Netflix and in general) saying "netflix messed this up" "netflix that" when netflix, in almost every case, has been the distributor, not the production company. I know most people don't know there's a difference and not saying I know how it all works either, but I feel like all the apprehension towards netflix SPECIFCALLY was not a completely valid reason to be as extremely skeptical as some people were/are about this. Not saying that people cant or shouldn't be but it is just disappointing that people took it being from Netflix as something against it when it's all about what production company/companies are behind it and their past projects. I'm not sure if i explained this well enough. Essentially people are just looking at the Netflix name when anyone could have put this show out if the details were in order and they got ownership. I personally have been confident for a while because I've done my own research and found some really lesser known things.

    • @KryptonKr

      I knew what One Piece was as an anime but never saw it. So, it could be me being bias that I think they made the live action really good. Cause I haven’t seen the anime yet.
      It does give me hope that ATLA live action could deliver the same kind of quality which can win over a lot of casual viewers. I feel like as long as they’re true to the source material and adding some small twist to it without completely changing the story, it would be another success.
      I just hope that if this trend keeps going, there will be more anime adaptations and I hope they don’t lose the quality and passion of making it and not all just about making money like most movie companies are nowadays and forget about the quality of it

There are so many things you can’t get away with in a cartoon visually that just don’t transfer to live action well at all, I don’t care how “well” it’s done. In all honesty I would’ve been much happier making a new cartoon bringing back all of the original cast to pretty much continue kinda close to where they left off. I would love to see the world building between ATLA and Korra, show me how they got to where they were while still having that vibe of best pals just trying to fix and rebuild the world

A lot of them are available free online if you know where to look. So there's still plenty of other stuff to delve into if you're dead-set on not watching the live action.

    I couldn't figure out what was off with Zuko's scar, but then I realized its his eyebrow, he doesn't have an eyebrow in the original which makes the scar stand out, it could also be bigger too. Just a nitpick though, what's important is what the scar means, not the look of it.

    With Zuko’s scar they can always enhance it when the show airs. I think this is why they release photos of the cast so early for feedback. Also, Zuko looks like a kid and I am not sure if they can apply the makeup necessary to make it standout, so they could fix it with special effects or whatever.

  • @typo1345

      You're wrong. The animation is exaggerated because it's difficult to show the extreme levels of detail that live action can. If you look at his main scar, it's actually pretty small. The larger parts are the rough textured skin which they have added if you look closely. They did a very faithful job at recreating what the kind of scar would look like in real life.

    Hot take - Zuko's scar is perfect, let me explain... if you were to check out how burnt victims' skin looks after they have healed, you'd see skin distortion and possible darkening of the skin; something like what Zuko has. Even though the photo shown here 4:58 distorts the majority of the scar's image because of a glare. In turn, making half of the scar that occupies the cup of his eye look darker and the other major half meld to the color of his skin and light source. AKA Bad angle bro trust.

      @johnathancooper5753 8 месяцев назад +1

      i agree. Personally I just spent 30 seconds looking up pictures of people with 3rd degree burns that healed on their face and it looks pretty similar to the Zuko actor's scar. Animation always has the ability to "exaggerate" certain features of things that would not look realistic in live action.
      Also if Ozai literally went full strength on a fire punch, Zuko would most likely be dead, (at least blind in that eye), not just a scar. So looking like Ozai just wanted to disrespect Zuko with a "lighter to the face" is actually realistic
