@@MrE_ Do you know the rating of the live action version yet? I really hope it has a higher rating like maybe 16 or 18+ so that they wouldn't censor so much like they did in the OG version. For example, Mai's knives should actually hurt and make someone bleed this time, the air nation genocide should be shown more clearly (especially EXACTLY how Gyatso fought back and died), literal blood should be shown at least once when blood bending is being used (like bending blood out of a rat or something), and of course, Jet's death shouldn't be "really unclear". Showing Ozai actually shooting fire at Zuko in the live action gives me some hope for more uncensored.
@@e-davidi.7354 with it being an adaptation that seems to follow the source, i'd guess not higher than a PG level rating, doubtful it would go above, but some episodes could potentially warrant a TV-14 depending on how they handle the more mature themes...never above that though
The creators of the new series have basically said that they aren't trying to copy the original, simply because they're very much aware they can't when adapting a cartoon into live action; different media so a different take. They've also said that everyone on the team grew up with the original and/or has spent time watching it with their own children, and have a deep reverence for it, and they don't want to ruin it. So, they aren't trying to copy, but also aren't trying to change things either, which is a fine line to walk that will hopefully turn out very well. With so many years of a certain movie being bad, it was really, really refreshing to see bending that didn't suck and to hear Sokka be able to do dry sarcasm that was both funny and relevant to the conversation.
I think it's totally fine they are changing things, as animation allowed them to do things that are just inhumanly possible, especially in certain humor moments. And with them shortening the number of episodes, it makes sense. As long as the keep the overall plot, I think it'll be good.
Depends on the changes. A 1:1 adaptation is impossible, but Peter Jackson did it 20+ years ago to perfection because he maintained the spirit and the themes of the original work. I fucking hope Netflix followed suit with this, rather than inject some stupid social commentary or ideology into it, as they are wont to do.
@@TheMan21892 LOL, Lord of the Rings was nowhere close to a 1:1 adaptation. If that shitty movie trilogy is your benchmark, then you have zero taste IMO.
As long as they keep "There it is! ... That's what it will sound like when one of you spots it," and "I am not Toph! I am Melon Lord!" Also, there is no ATLA movie in Ba Sing Se.

Fun fact: in the German dub they will use the same voice actors for Katara, Sokka and Zuko again (maybe more). Because they weren't children back then - so they still sound the same. Except Aang's voice actor.
I love when Zuko says “it’s my destiny”. It’s obviously not 100% Dante basco but the line is still delivered in a determined way. It FEELS like first season Zuko is on screeen. Someone still who believes the fire nation has been divinely placed above other people-and the crown prince above all else.

I’m sorry but I shed some tears watching this trailer. It brought me back to me being a kid, waiting for the episode to air, pretending to bend every element in the periodic table, and just being enamored with the show. I haven’t felt this excited for the release of a show in the longest time. ❤❤
THIS IS HOW YOU DO A PROPER ADAPTATION!!! I was literally fucking shaking, I haven't been this hyped for a trailer since Infinity War. Everything looks perfect, absolutely perfect. The CG artist, the costume designers, the composition of the music is BEYOND faithful. If the show doesn't hold up ill be depressed until 2030, but I have a feeling this show is going to be on Par with the original, and that's a hellofa high standard. The cast looks phenomenal, the action actually has pacing, the bending is faithful, boomie looks like a 1 for 1. Its just, AHHH I can FUCKING SCREAM!!! I'm excited for the lightning, the bloodbending and beyond hyped to see Cabbage Man reprise his role!
I'm excited but nothing will ever live up to the original series . All the voice acting in the first series is top notch . Toph's badass in your face attitude, angs laugh , Iro , zuko , the firelord, etc ,etc . Truly a masterpiece .
I just want to say I appreciate you so much as the voice of Toph. Her character helped shaped the better part of me. Her voice hold a special part in me. Thank you
Mine is -8 and -6 and I have the worst prescription of all my friends, I can imagine how bad must be for you. If only I could have Toph's ability.... Well, maybe not, I live with my brother and his wife.
Just these little glimpses make me confident these actors are going to KILL it! Sokka is sarcastic, Katara is compassionate, Aang is naive, everyone looks and sounds great!
Only two words to say about it: "Flameo Hotman". Really loved the trailer. Thanks for your reaction. Have been waiting for it since yesterday. Let’s show the first season all the love we can and make book 2 and 3 happen. I believe the show will save the world 🥳. Fun fact: There is an clip online about a test footage for earth bending with a young Toph actress to showcase the bending for the show. It was done by the Netflix shows official stunt choreography team. Can you do a reaction for it? Maybe she will play Toph in book 2 🤔. Thanks in advance 🙂.
Having a prescription of -9 is the same as me which is a weird coincidence. I don't really notice much of it until I take a shower(that's when I take my glasses off) then it really hits me that I'm blind without my glasses
I’m 44 and this show is on par with Star Wars & Potter for me. It’s the perfect telling of the hero’s journey with amazing full characters filling it out. I was hoping some of the voice cast might get a sneak cameo in the show. Who knows. Can’t wait for this show.
I will absolutely be watching all episodes on the first day! I love your reactions and the fact that you love the Avatar universe as much as we do. Thank you for all you do for this wonderful fandom!! 💚💚
You’re beautiful and the way you portrayed Toph in the animated series was absolutely amazing! It’s so cool seeing footage of you talking normal and switching into Toph at a Con! Can’t wait to see your reaction once Toph gets added into Season 2! Much love to you and your endeavors! ❤
hearing you of all people say "its ok twinkle toes" is heart warming. Also i never knew you had a youtube channel! subscribing toph is probably my all time favorite character in the atla universe well other than momo.
yup ! I can't wait to see who Toph is, my favorite character.. I hope they cast her really well. thanks for voicing Toph in the original tho..its perfect and you are a legend.
What I'm looking forward to most is the OST dropping, because the music in the trailer is already awesome! I'm also excited (and scared) to see how they portray Koh the Face Stealer.
I notice a lot of actors/voice actors don't really watch the things they're involved in, which I get, but it's really cool to see how well-versed you are in everything. Calling out certain details, characters, events; it's so fun!
Lowkey got emotional when watching this! ATLAB has been a huge part of my life! And seeing this new live action show is bringing back all that nostalgia I had when watching the OG! Can’t wait! ❤
'Avatar' is objectively one of the best shows EVER. Such statements are often exaggerated, but I think it's one of the few series that deserves a rating of 10/10. From the story, to the themes, fights, humor and last but not least because of the brillant voice acting. That being said, I hope that people lower their expectations a little and let the live action series have a 'different' effect on them. The creators don't want a 1:1 adaptation because that's simply not possible due to the quality of the original series. One of the reasons why Shamalan's film adaptation was so hated was that the source material wasn't really taken seriously (especially at the time). But I think that both the cast and the crrators have really watched the original series this time and haven't just churned out anything. So I'll definitely give the Netflix show a chance and I'm looking forward to it!
You got me with "Twinkle-toes". I got weepy-eyed with how excited you got! I LOVE the Avatar animated series. It was SO advanced that it grows with you. Out of so many animated series out there, Avatar The Last Airbender still holds up to this day. And no matter how many times you watch the show, you will find something new, somewhere. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. Btw, Toph is/was one of my favorite characters, period. It is nice to see the voice behind the legend. Also, I wear glasses, too. Take care!
This is the only reaction that matters of overall approval the director did say it’s not weekly adventure it’s a drama fans have to cope with the changes because we’ve watched the original show how many times this generation needs it’s own version all I know is they are going for a book 3 and game of thrones tone so hopefully Netflix will renew for a season 2 and will get you to meet Toph
there's something that's bugging me. in IGN trailer breakdown video the showrunner talks about Avatar state and they have apparently 'tweaked' how aang can access it. they also said avatar state would be used less than animated show to make it special, and they have made chances which fans would understand...
@@WanMemeTong Well, they could be making it a lot more of it only happens in moments of great stress or danger. That was what it was supposed to be originally in the show, but they had times where he did it himself. I feel like maybe they're just leaning into that idea more if they're gonna make it happen less often, and if that is right, I totally would be cool with it
Thank you for making your videos so accessibility friendly! Just had to make sure you know its appreciated and loved to see a little extra effort for those who need it
Idk if you've seen it yet but it's freaking amazing!!! Kiyoshi warriors was amazing avatar kiyoshi was a badass and the way they depicted aang channeling her was off the rails. Every character I can point to and say who they are costume and casting directors should be commended on this show and I have heard they already greenlit a "book 2" season 2 and I hope to all the heavens it happens. Toph is hands down my favorite character when she metal bended a suit of armor I crapped my pants lol
OMG! I remember when I was a kid I had a huge crush on Toph! I can’t believe I’m seeing a video made by the actual person who voiced her and brought her to life. My favorite quote: “I’m the world’s greatest Earthbender, and don’t you dunderheads forget it!” 😮
I love this jetlagged, impromptu, no makeup, no special outfit video, but I also loved your look at the Premiere tonight! And your SECRET TUNNELL rendition! Just rewatching this because I'm dying to consume anything and everything ATLA because I'm so excited! 😁
Can I just say...how good Michaela still looks even after a long flight? And the glasses look good too! Okay, onto the trailer. Yes, I'm totally with you that it amps you up and I am so much more excited for it now.
We have the same prescription! 2 months ago I got Evo ICL and dude, I'm so happy! I'm not blind in the middle of the night anymore, I can see all the time. It's awesome!
I think that fight between Katara and Zuko was the part thAt hyped me the most. I’m not ready for Sozin vs. Gyatso so them straight up putting it in the trailer took me off guard! And it’s so well casted 😭 i personally will be watching the heck out of this I can’t wait to see who the tiny Toph will be
@@elvisvan that’s not confirmed in the original lore but that fire bender in the air temple is Sozin (his uniform had some dragon motifs) and you can kinda see someone behind his fire blast …but the reason we all kind of know is there was a leak months back that said Sozin will confront gyatso Ask about “the avatar” and kills him himself… from the looks of the trailer this is right 😭
netflix 86ing sokka's early sexist character traits now has me worried about the show. Given sokkas entire character development is centered around learning that women can be strong if not stronger than he is. So much so to the point where he has a existential crisis regarding feeling inadequate and useless amongst his peers as he sees how strong toph, katara, and suki have grown compared to him. Which all comes to a crux in S3 of the original series where he learns to just lean into himself and be valuable in his own right, he doesnt have to be the biggest and strongest of the group.
I didn't see the trailer before watching the life action... Now I am extremely mad at how good the trailer looked when the show was this bad😅 Especially since none of the changes that they did compared to the original were shown in the trailer😑
Please tell me you guys are not supporting the live action after they butchered katara and having them compacted into small number of episodes for 1 season… not even acknowledging the bad acting and bad attempt to showcase old people in live action with their features. Butchering katara and bumi.

I’m sorry but I shed some tears watching this trailer. It brought me back to me being a kid, waiting for the episode to air, pretending to bend every element in the periodic table, and just being enamored with the show. I haven’t felt this excited for the release of a show in the longest time. ❤❤
Safe to say, the trailer made you tear bend?
I feel you bro I cried too. Us born from 1995-2002 this trailer hits different for us because the show was our childhood
im just a sucker for when actors or voice actors become fans of the work they're in. shows how much passion and fun they really have
THIS IS HOW YOU DO A PROPER ADAPTATION!!! I was literally fucking shaking, I haven't been this hyped for a trailer since Infinity War. Everything looks perfect, absolutely perfect. The CG artist, the costume designers, the composition of the music is BEYOND faithful.
If the show doesn't hold up ill be depressed until 2030, but I have a feeling this show is going to be on Par with the original, and that's a hellofa high standard. The cast looks phenomenal, the action actually has pacing, the bending is faithful, boomie looks like a 1 for 1.
Its just, AHHH I can FUCKING SCREAM!!! I'm excited for the lightning, the bloodbending and beyond hyped to see Cabbage Man reprise his role!
I'm excited but nothing will ever live up to the original series . All the voice acting in the first series is top notch . Toph's badass in your face attitude, angs laugh , Iro , zuko , the firelord, etc ,etc . Truly a masterpiece .
You are such a sweet person, the kind of person who makes everyone around you happy. I'm definitely your fan now :)
Dude playing Zuko is really nailing it.
I just want to say I appreciate you so much as the voice of Toph.
Her character helped shaped the better part of me. Her voice hold a special part in me.
Thank you
-9 HOLY CABBAGES!!! I'm at a -3 and I thought mine was bad! 😂
Mine is -1.5 and -3
-6 here. I can't imagine worse. Actually yes I can, I got shower soap in my eye last night which probably put me at an effective -9 lol
Holy cabbages indeed hahahah
Mine is -8 and -6 and I have the worst prescription of all my friends, I can imagine how bad must be for you. If only I could have Toph's ability.... Well, maybe not, I live with my brother and his wife.
@@MetalPharoahmine is exactly the same. Did you also used to lie in bed and read with one eye? Lol
Having subtitles the way you do is just amazing.
I love your energy, it makes me so happy that the voice of a character we all love so much is doing well and thriving
yeah so you’re the most adorable human who ever lived and THATS canon 🩵
and the music is hitting SO hard like I have chills!!!! exciting stuff eeeeee
😅 love you hahahah
Just these little glimpses make me confident these actors are going to KILL it! Sokka is sarcastic, Katara is compassionate, Aang is naive, everyone looks and sounds great!
It would be extremely funny if we get a repeat of the cactus juice scene.
YES! When people connected to the show are this excited it makes me even more hyped! 😱
The casting for Sokka looks very good. That's about as close as you can get to what a real-life Sokka would look and sound like.
I'm looking forward to Toph. Your character seriously made my day.
The June and Suki casting is FIRE! Love the effects. I just hope that they keep the humor from the original.
Your excitement is incredibly infectious. Natural entertainer
Only two words to say about it: "Flameo Hotman". Really loved the trailer. Thanks for your reaction. Have been waiting for it since yesterday. Let’s show the first season all the love we can and make book 2 and 3 happen. I believe the show will save the world 🥳. Fun fact: There is an clip online about a test footage for earth bending with a young Toph actress to showcase the bending for the show. It was done by the Netflix shows official stunt choreography team. Can you do a reaction for it? Maybe she will play Toph in book 2 🤔. Thanks in advance 🙂.
This trailer actually made me tear up, the music the animation, all of it was amazing. I really hope they do this show justice.
spoiler alert, its bad
Having a prescription of -9 is the same as me which is a weird coincidence. I don't really notice much of it until I take a shower(that's when I take my glasses off) then it really hits me that I'm blind without my glasses
I’m 44 and this show is on par with Star Wars & Potter for me. It’s the perfect telling of the hero’s journey with amazing full characters filling it out. I was hoping some of the voice cast might get a sneak cameo in the show. Who knows. Can’t wait for this show.
I will absolutely be watching all episodes on the first day! I love your reactions and the fact that you love the Avatar universe as much as we do. Thank you for all you do for this wonderful fandom!! 💚💚
You’re beautiful and the way you portrayed Toph in the animated series was absolutely amazing! It’s so cool seeing footage of you talking normal and switching into Toph at a Con! Can’t wait to see your reaction once Toph gets added into Season 2! Much love to you and your endeavors! ❤
hearing you of all people say "its ok twinkle toes" is heart warming. Also i never knew you had a youtube channel! subscribing toph is probably my all time favorite character in the atla universe well other than momo.
i feel you with the glasses..but you know what, you look cute with them glasses. also you rock! all the love from chile!
yup ! I can't wait to see who Toph is, my favorite character.. I hope they cast her really well. thanks for voicing Toph in the original tho..its perfect and you are a legend.
What I'm looking forward to most is the OST dropping, because the music in the trailer is already awesome!
I'm also excited (and scared) to see how they portray Koh the Face Stealer.
Their music is incredible. I'm also way more excited about June than I should be! She just stood out to me in the show and she looks so bad ass.
I really hope this gets a season 2, so we get to see who they cast to play your character.
I notice a lot of actors/voice actors don't really watch the things they're involved in, which I get, but it's really cool to see how well-versed you are in everything. Calling out certain details, characters, events; it's so fun!
My favourite bit is, "You have me, Katara, and a flying ball of fur. What more do you need?"
"Toph, I need Toph."
@@blueberryoatmeal4009 True, but they won't even know Toph at that point.
Lowkey got emotional when watching this! ATLAB has been a huge part of my life! And seeing this new live action show is bringing back all that nostalgia I had when watching the OG! Can’t wait! ❤
'Avatar' is objectively one of the best shows EVER. Such statements are often exaggerated, but I think it's one of the few series that deserves a rating of 10/10. From the story, to the themes, fights, humor and last but not least because of the brillant voice acting. That being said, I hope that people lower their expectations a little and let the live action series have a 'different' effect on them. The creators don't want a 1:1 adaptation because that's simply not possible due to the quality of the original series. One of the reasons why Shamalan's film adaptation was so hated was that the source material wasn't really taken seriously (especially at the time). But I think that both the cast and the crrators have really watched the original series this time and haven't just churned out anything. So I'll definitely give the Netflix show a chance and I'm looking forward to it!
I can only agree. The Series is just so good and watchable at all ages. I absolutely love it
You got me with "Twinkle-toes". I got weepy-eyed with how excited you got! I LOVE the Avatar animated series. It was SO advanced that it grows with you. Out of so many animated series out there, Avatar The Last Airbender still holds up to this day. And no matter how many times you watch the show, you will find something new, somewhere. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. Btw, Toph is/was one of my favorite characters, period. It is nice to see the voice behind the legend. Also, I wear glasses, too. Take care!
I love how she's the voice actor for Toph and is almost blind herself 😂
Omg I hope you enjoyed how we all went WILD when Toph appeared on the screen at the concert! ❤
-9 you're like Toph fr fr
This is the only reaction that matters of overall approval the director did say it’s not weekly adventure it’s a drama fans have to cope with the changes because we’ve watched the original show how many times this generation needs it’s own version all I know is they are going for a book 3 and game of thrones tone so hopefully Netflix will renew for a season 2 and will get you to meet Toph
there's something that's bugging me. in IGN trailer breakdown video the showrunner talks about Avatar state and they have apparently 'tweaked' how aang can access it. they also said avatar state would be used less than animated show to make it special, and they have made chances which fans would understand...
@@WanMemeTong will just have to wait and see won’t we they could pull a cowboy bebop who knows
@@WanMemeTong Well, they could be making it a lot more of it only happens in moments of great stress or danger. That was what it was supposed to be originally in the show, but they had times where he did it himself. I feel like maybe they're just leaning into that idea more if they're gonna make it happen less often, and if that is right, I totally would be cool with it
@@QuatarTarandir well, it's probably gonna be like that, but the lack of information is bugging me. let's see how it goes
@@WanMemeTong Yeah, fair enough. I really do hope it's nothing dumb
Thank you for making your videos so accessibility friendly! Just had to make sure you know its appreciated and loved to see a little extra effort for those who need it
Idk if you've seen it yet but it's freaking amazing!!! Kiyoshi warriors was amazing avatar kiyoshi was a badass and the way they depicted aang channeling her was off the rails. Every character I can point to and say who they are costume and casting directors should be commended on this show and I have heard they already greenlit a "book 2" season 2 and I hope to all the heavens it happens. Toph is hands down my favorite character when she metal bended a suit of armor I crapped my pants lol
Omg you’re blind?? You’re the greatest method actor I’ve ever met!! Loved the reaction :)
Thats the one thing that frustrates me the most is that we have to hope for season 2 so we can see our favorite character TOPH 😊
I hope Book 2 gets adapted too just to see Toph in live action and your reaction to them.
I just found this channel & it's the voice actor of my favourite character in ATLA.
It feels surreal to see and hear the voice actor.
Huge fan of yours. Toph is my favorite character simply fur to your excellent voice acting alone.
Your work, azula and zuko blew it out of the water.
Finally ATLA is getting a live action they deserved. This looks promising and I hope the cast of this show will be amazing. 😊
At this point, it doesn't matter if season 1 is gonna be bad as long as we get a season 2 so Michaela sees Toph. 😆
OMG! I remember when I was a kid I had a huge crush on Toph! I can’t believe I’m seeing a video made by the actual person who voiced her and brought her to life. My favorite quote: “I’m the world’s greatest Earthbender, and don’t you dunderheads forget it!” 😮
ur so cool i admire your free spirit.
I love this jetlagged, impromptu, no makeup, no special outfit video, but I also loved your look at the Premiere tonight! And your SECRET TUNNELL rendition! Just rewatching this because I'm dying to consume anything and everything ATLA because I'm so excited! 😁
I’m calling it..when toph is revealed in season 2..you will cry haha and so will I 😂
Wow you really took it seriously when they said that toph is gonna be a blind character
Negative 9 my god
🫠🫠🫠
Can I just say...how good Michaela still looks even after a long flight? And the glasses look good too! Okay, onto the trailer. Yes, I'm totally with you that it amps you up and I am so much more excited for it now.
We have the same prescription! 2 months ago I got Evo ICL and dude, I'm so happy! I'm not blind in the middle of the night anymore, I can see all the time. It's awesome!
I think that fight between Katara and Zuko was the part thAt hyped me the most. I’m not ready for Sozin vs. Gyatso so them straight up putting it in the trailer took me off guard! And it’s so well casted 😭 i personally will be watching the heck out of this I can’t wait to see who the tiny Toph will be
what gyatso and sozin faced off?
@elvisvan the show is going to show us the attack on the Air Temples so it's possible Sozin and Monk Gyatso crossed paths during it
@@elvisvan that’s not confirmed in the original lore but that fire bender in the air temple is Sozin (his uniform had some dragon motifs) and you can kinda see someone behind his fire blast …but the reason we all kind of know is there was a leak months back that said Sozin will confront gyatso Ask about “the avatar” and kills him himself… from the looks of the trailer this is right 😭
The writers must have heavily based Toph's personality from Michaela's - she reminds me so much of Toph in every way besides hair length and age.
My god you’re gorgeous, also thank you for your amazing voice acting for toph, one my favorite shows of all time
I am so cautiously optimistic for this! Also, you are a delight, and I'm glad the Internetz shared you to me.
I hope the live-action exceeds and builds enough momentum that we also get a live-action Korra series as well
netflix 86ing sokka's early sexist character traits now has me worried about the show. Given sokkas entire character development is centered around learning that women can be strong if not stronger than he is. So much so to the point where he has a existential crisis regarding feeling inadequate and useless amongst his peers as he sees how strong toph, katara, and suki have grown compared to him. Which all comes to a crux in S3 of the original series where he learns to just lean into himself and be valuable in his own right, he doesnt have to be the biggest and strongest of the group.
I didn't see the trailer before watching the life action... Now I am extremely mad at how good the trailer looked when the show was this bad😅
Especially since none of the changes that they did compared to the original were shown in the trailer😑
I can’t wait for season 2 because I love toph and she needs to be in this!!
The way I cried tears of joy. I never knew you had a RUclips channel. This is so wonderful!!!! Team Melon Lord.
Please tell me you guys are not supporting the live action after they butchered katara and having them compacted into small number of episodes for 1 season… not even acknowledging the bad acting and bad attempt to showcase old people in live action with their features. Butchering katara and bumi.
This is my first time watching anything Avatar related EVER! You already sold me on the hype haha. Starting my binge tomorrow!
