For someone who doesn't know the avatar story, this is very interesting. Your reaction will be very genuine without comparing it to the original story. keep watching it, it will get more and more interesting.
my sister has NEVER WATCHED atla before but she is loving the live action. it’s not going to be the same as the original or as good but if you think of it as it’s a different version and it’s own thing without thinking about the original it is promising live action with some work in terms of writing and pacing and visually (green screen backgrounds). but this live action is bringing together more fans. and i love that
Such a refreshing prospective to see someone Watch this not seeing the original and so not making those comparisons, not knowing what's gonna happen and expecting things etc, and just seeing it for what it is and it's own thing I love this!! Though I do hope one day you decide you wanna eventually check out the original lol, if you like this then I'm certain you'll love the anime
a ton of comments have already said this but as a life long fan of ATLA, it is so so refreshing to be able to watch someone who hasn't been exposed to this universe be able to experience the live action without any biases or influences; so many people are comparing it to the cartoon/anime but the live action is an adaptation of it, so of course there are changes to make it more suitable as a short live action series. I think the show is beautiful in its own way- its as magical as the cartoon, but definitely heavier and more mature. A fun fact about the casting that I think you might enjoy is that Gordon (the kid who plays Aang :)!) said for the scenes he has to cry for, he thinks of his dead hamster :(! It shows that they picked the perfect Aang- the entire cast, especially Dallas (Zuko) were definitely meant to be part of this :)). I hope once you finish the series you watch not only the cartoon and spin off (Legend of Korra) but as well as the first live action just to see how expansive the universe is and why some people are so passionate about the series :D
love seeing a reaction from someone who won't be bogged down by counting what's changed and whether each tiny little change is better or worse. Very curious to see what your thoughts are on the series that is made to help usher in new fans to this amazing world
its so cool finding someone who's never seen the original cartoon so it will be so much fun seeing your raw reactions to the live action adaptation ❤ loved your inputs and commentary, i cant wait to see the rest of your reactions ❤
I haven't seen or heard anything about Avatar - The last airbender before my wife wanted to show me this serie. I had no pre knowledges of this world. I LOVED IT! I really looking forward to the next season (I really hope there are more to come).
I'm glad youtube recommended this to me because I had no idea you had a separate anime channel. I'm so happy to see someone who hasn't seen the original like this so much, seems like the show hit all the right beats for you
This is what I've been saying.... Most people who are big fans keeps on saying that they will watch it with an open mind. But they end up comparing everything to the original one. This is how it should be reviewed. from someone who haven't watch the original. Remember what she says from the start... She says "he's so young"...... she understands Aang onset ... and she hasn't seen the original....
I'm a huge fan and I'm coming into it with an open mind. I think they ones that don't are just more vocal and garnish more attention so it seems that way. I loved the first episode but I have yet to watch the rest so it might change but I don't mind changes as long as it's good and the essence of the original gets across.
@@Life-as-I-know-it That's what I've learned from the live action version of One Piece. Can't compare it to the anime and it's the same with this can't compare it to the original it's it own entity and it's great to see someone who's fresh and never has seen the original
I haven't been back here in a while. It's good to see you again. It's great that you are doing the live action first. But 100% recommend going into the cartoon afterwards. It'll be an epic journey!
This is what I miss on feeling .. like seing it for the first time and slowing loving the story of the young bald kid with a tattoo arrow on his head hehehe
So looking forward to seeing your reactions to this show! It's so interesting seeing it through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time!
Just one titbit, the Avatar has a heightened state called the Avatar State where their eyes glow, their bending powers are greatly enhanced and usually they lose a bit of their rationality in that state. Additionally, airbenders have tattoos which they gain when an airbender becomes a master and their tattoos glow too when an airbender avatar is in the avatar state.
Magy, I've been following you almost since you started your channel. Your reactions seem incredible to me and the most genuine. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those animated series that changes your life. They teach you another perspective and each of their characters are wonderful, this is what the animated series did with many people. I hope you can see the animated one too, I would really enjoy seeing your reaction. successes!!
Ive seen the original series but overall ive given the series a 7 to 8 out of 10. I know what others fans like myself will know the minor things that sets this adaptation back a little but overall i loved how this series went. For me its specificaly the performance and the costumes that matter as a costume designer myself thats what helps bring the characters to life. The respect from the original source with the additional elements that only belong to that world. So you have the structure of clothing but the colours, fabric and cultural asthetics lets you see how that world throves in both climate and adaptaions through the story
I was actually pretty bummed you didn't decide to finish the series. It's an incredible experience. That being said, I'm glad you're also giving this a try.
I’m so happy that you’re reacting to this. The animation of this was SUPER AMAZING!! I think this live action one was good too, still not as good as the cartoon but still good.
I dont know how you can watch this without watching the og show. I agree it will be interesting, but I feel you may no appreciate this the way many will, just because of the nostalgia of the show.
When you finish watching this you should go watch the original It would be super interesting to see the perspective of someone who went from this live-action to the original rather than the other way around
I cant wait to see someone see the Netflix version first then hopefully go see the nickolodeon version followed by the sequel series with the... Shammylamb's movie at somepoint.
OMG I can't believe you haven't seen the original. you got anime in your name! lol Its the best animated show ive ever seen. like no joke it has a 100% on Rotten tomatoes
You would’ve just been better off with watching the original tbh, it’s like taking stainless steel over diamonds. So many character arcs are ruined in this. Plus you’re watching it on your anime channel it would make s
The way the animated series was presented was each season was a book, and each episode was a chapter. The first book was the book of Water. There were three books. I'm assuming season one of the Netflix series is the book of Water, so there should be two more seasons after this.
I'm so glad you are reacting to this without having seen it before. I'm only familiar with the first season, but other reactors have already ruined future storylines for me with spoilers so I have had to stop watching them.
I'm glad you're a non-fan and are going into this completely blank with nothing, fresh. I hope you stay like this for the whole live-action series of 8 episodes. I'm looking forward to your reactions.
Not after she finished this show lol she's gonna have expectations of darkness seriousness lots of death and no jokes or goofiness and side adventures she's not gonna like the animated show
@@IsanG08 this show comes nowhere near the original even if it has some good elements but it can’t hurt to recommend everyone falls in love with the original this is why I wrote it
Im so excited to see your reactions to this with a fresh mind. Too many people compare it to the cartoon, which i can understand because i do have my own complaints but not about comparison, i just hate gran grans teeth cause of how unnatural they look in here. Too white honestly.
So there's a little bit of lore that I wanted to share with you Magy. The opening shit, that showed a glowing red object in the sky is VERY important. Every 100 years a comet orbits the Earth and stays in the sky for a couple of days. That comet gives Firebenders a very powerful boost to their abilities. I don't know if every element has a "boost scenario", but for Waterbenders, they are exceptionally powerful at night and even 10 times more so during a full moon. That's why Sozen (the Fire Lord) made that comment about on any other night they might have prevailed. But with the power of the comet he becomes virtually unbeatable. The ONLY bender that could Match his Power is The Avatar.
The other nations do have boosters like the comet is for the fire nation: The Water Tribes get a boost from the full moon, the Earthbenders get a boost from earthquakes but the Airbenders boost comes from meditating and reaching inner peace.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Sorry I don't buy that. The moon is established, so I won't argue that; but the others are ridiculous. Earth benders from earthquakes, really?? That's dumb. And Airbenders just need to meditate?? Also ridiculous. I don't believe that for one second.
It isn't a masterpiece and even though this show has skipped some great lines, comedic and iconic moments, it has inserted some scenes that shows the flaws of the animated one
@@iamdeathiamentropyiamdarks3517 I really love the characters. In the animated series, they are great. In the Netflix adaptation, they are different. It's worse for me. And this applies to everyone.
@@munnaV2 This is not a criticism yet. Just an opinion. The animated series is better. If you like the Netflix adaptation, enjoy watching it. She's not terrible. The norm.

@@Jill-cn1vt Yeah sometimes it's a bit annoying to see, I understand

@n1vt yeah I fully agree. Although if she wants to watch the original after season 1 that's great ofc, no need to wait 1-2 years

Well if you can't wait you always have the original cartoon, which is still the superior version to this.

It's going to be enjoyable watching your reaction to this adaptation since you haven't seen the original 😊! Looking forward to seeing more!
I really love your fresh perspective! Refreshing to see someone reacting that has no attachments with the original.
We definitely want more reactions of this! 😊
I haven't been back here in a while. It's good to see you again. It's great that you are doing the live action first. But 100% recommend going into the cartoon afterwards. It'll be an epic journey!
You are a rare one, I’ve been searching for these reactions.
I love that you are watching this with fresh eyes and no expectations. I look forward to your adventure in this series!
This is what I miss on feeling .. like seing it for the first time and slowing loving the story of the young bald kid with a tattoo arrow on his head hehehe
I'm a few episodes in. I'm loving this adaptation so far. I hope it does well so you continue. The story gets better and better.
So looking forward to seeing your reactions to this show! It's so interesting seeing it through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time!
Good start for one of the greatest stories, hope you get to see the animated series after this one, it is just fantastic.
This looks like the start of a cool adventure, can't wait to see how it will go together with you ❤
Sokka and Zuko were the highlight of this episode. Zuko looks a young Shang Tsung from the first Mortal Kombat
That's funny, because Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa was a fan choice to play Iroh
I hope you will check out the original series after the live action, beacuse it is the greatest animated show ever.
No she shouldn't watch that shit
@@IsanG08 the original?
I am so excited to watch this reaction. As an OG fan from literally day 1, welcome to the cool kids club!

It's so refreshing to watch a reaction from someone who hasn't seen the animated series (^_^ ) Those Pikachu might get replaced with Sky Bison Appas.
I’m so glad to watch your reaction to this master pierce. Please when you finish the Live action, please watch the Cartoon. I’d love that! ❤

6:16 Yep, a huge HUGE party 🔥
Anyone knows other reactors who havent seen the original that are reacting to this?
Semz Nerd is another first time avatar netflix youtube reactor.
Beauty and the Beard are first time reactors as well.
Late to the Party - one saw some of it a long time ago, the other hadn't seen anything
Nukem Dukem too.
And Quirky Quota too.
I was actually pretty bummed you didn't decide to finish the series. It's an incredible experience. That being said, I'm glad you're also giving this a try.

After you watch the full season u def need to watch the animated series
You remind me of Paulina from Danny Phantom (compliment)
Magy cry? Never!! 😉😉
My only complain is they should have spent more time with aang,katara and sokka relationship that's it everything else was amazing
after you watch, you should def watch the animated!
It’s good that you haven’t watched the original so you won’t be so disappointed.
create a playlist pls
You’re the first reactor I’ve found who hasn’t seen the original. Advertising that fact might actually bring you a bunch of new subscribers. 😉
When you finished this series of avatar I highly recommend to watch the original avatar that came out 2005 please Maggy?
OMG I can't believe you haven't seen the original. you got anime in your name! lol Its the best animated show ive ever seen. like no joke it has a 100% on Rotten tomatoes
And now that she has/ is watching the adaption, this mayConvince her to watch the Animated show.
Try watching the animated show after this. It is done so much better

Right after the live action, jump on the anime
