Why Netflix’s Avatar Remake Is A Complete Disaster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2024
- 14 Years after M Night Shyamalan made his infamous remake of the beloved Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender, Netflix releases their own remake which is almost just as bad. I somehow avoided seeing any reviews for the netflix remake, so that my review could be as much of my own opinion as possible. I hope you enjoy the video!

What did you think of Netflix's Avatar Remake? Is it better than the movie?
It's better than The Last Airbender movie for sure.
NETFLIX IS TRASH
I hated it with my full heart AND IM ONLY 1 AND A HALF OF ANOTHER EPISODE IN
Didn't know there was a movie
@@eglol Yeah I think its a slight improvement for sure
What’s worse about this show is that I immediately forgot about its existence, so all the griping was for nothing.
I forget everything...
@@richwrites5683 I don’t even *like* Avatar and I felt insulted.
@@eatatjoes6751 you don't like avatar? I'm actually really curious to hear why
@@richwrites5683 Pure action/story-driven shows weren’t really my thing back when it was on (see: Samurai Jack, which I wanted to watch but it was past my bedtime despite getting to watch the other Cartoon Cartoon shows) and *now* the fanbase is so insufferable when recommending it to people that I’ve just avoided it on impulse.
Like, I’m sure it’s really great and all, but you don’t see Invader Zim fans or My Life as a Teenage Robot fans or even Jimmy Neutron fans aggressively nagging people to watch them while saying the other Nicktoons on the network sucked as much as Avatar: the Last Airbender’s fanbase did and still kinda does.
Something that made me mad is that airbenders cannot fly when they have earthly attachments and then they completely forgot about that in the new live remake
Yeah I thought it was so odd that they made Aang fly in the remake. It seems like a nitpick, but it STILL bothered me
He wasn’t really flying. What Aang does is use air bending to push and glide through the air; when he’s floating you can visibly see the air warping around him. However when Zaheer flies, he just straight up goes Superman and doesn’t need to bend air to do it. Aang can float around but can’t fly, so he uses his glider for more sharp ,directional flying. He does this several times in the animation
It’s crazy to look back on the marketing for the show. The directors and writers being confident and saying “we made avatar the last airbender”. I believed in their confidence, mixed in with how much everyone working on the show apparently loved it. I convinced myself that the show was in good hands…. and THIS is what they give us ??
Also I’m so glad you mentioned the music. Some people really haven’t talked about it. But they absolutely used just some generic cinematic music sometimes and it was so upsetting that the music doesn’t feel like it comes from that world.
Yeah, I rememeber hearing that the original creators left the show, and I just knew something was wrong. The music is so iconic from the original, and then they just made it super generic here. Its really a big missed opportunity.
Music sucks af especially the ocean spirit episode. Can't even feel the impact of that scene. I can't believe I subscribe.premium at Netflix just to.get so much disappointed
“Game of thrones fans don’t even like game of thrones” lol, that was fantastic- and so was the rest of the video! You had so many good points and I really enjoyed what you had to say. Made my walk today far more enjoyable!
So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much!
This remake was the most dissapointing thing since my son
I never knew my son...
@@richwrites5683real
@@richwrites5683 my jaw dropped at the comment,but it dropped even more when I read your reply.
I would rather watch the ember island remake instead of the netflix live action
Me too buddy... Me too...
At least the ember island people got most of it right
Wild how much of this video is just about the FIRST episode
I literally wrote 5 pages on just the first episode...
while everybody complaining how bad the netflix series is im ready for season 2 and 3😂😂
I am glad you enjoyed it! Wish I did too...
Babe wake up Rich Writes is back
"Thank god, it was only a nightmare"
Its still hilarious how they "removed Sokka's sexist remarks" about women but still decided too make Pakku sexist LMAO. Also its even more funny how the director was trying to appeal to game of throne fans. Like game of thrones fans can take gore, nudity and sexual violence but not misogyny from a child. Absolutely wild and sad
Yeah the inconsistency about the sexism is very annoying. As a GOT fan, I am horrified by the idea of people being mean
I'm scared, know what they'll do to Tohp in season 2
Theyre gonna ruin her, just wait...
This video deserves more attention, it’s awesome and your just speaking facts
Thank you, I really appreciate it! The video took me like 3 months to make lol
Netflix Avatar feels like it was made for people who have y conbined attention spans of a goldfish and your average modern day MCU fan.
Maybe Aang can fight Thanos in fortnight
The new Netflix remake is not bad it’s quite good but they would not just copy everything because wouldn’t it be boring rewatching it just in live action
Im glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks 👍it was great in my opinion
I thought Yugioh Zexal was better.
Nah bro, GX is king easily
What was that parody song @8:15? So funny
its called "Keep r*ding me" by "Your Pretty". Its a very funny and well made song
Retirement?
Say it ain't so dawg
But seriously, your stuff is great and I love it.
Thank you man, I really appreciate it! Ive actually missed making videos alot lately and plan on uploading more regularly again. The videos will just come out more slowly. I already know what the next video well be too!
8:12
... 😳😮 ... umm... Is that an actual song?!! Like written/produced by professionals?!! 😳🤨
I'm kinda too scared to look it up... don't want that in my search history, lol
It ABSOLUTELY is! Its called "Keep r*ding me" by Ur Pretty
@@richwrites5683 OMG... I wonder if they were able to sing that in the studio with a straight face, lmao! 😅
@@SaiyanNinja99 I know I wouldn't have been able to lol
Didn't talk about how they ruined suki too
I absolutely should have
@@richwrites5683 that was one of my biggest complaints....but I never made it past episode 3 lol
@@KrytoRift well good news for you, after episode 3, it gets alot worse
@richwrites5683 so I've heard 😅
Fallout on the other hand was excellent
agreed theres so much in the remake that we want to unsee, and theres so much scenes on the cartoons that the fanatics cant be fooled.. but must admit this is better than the 1st avatar movie. this production have it all but why they change the story not remake💁🏻♀️
Being better than the movie is a REALLY low bar lmao
Something else that more so a nit pick for irohs live action is there’s not accent. Idk if that was how mako naturally talked or if he only did it when he did voices but he has a slight accent in the way he says things like prince zuko. When the actor says it he sounds… he sounds so white. And that’s not a race thing i just didn’t didn’t know how else to say it 😭.
That's what Zane in ninjago says I protect those that cannot protect them selvs
If they took that line from lego ninjago, I would eat my shoe
They did
m night and Netflix are not valid tho but honestly 7/10 also I watched it and if u don’t believe me I know what happened in the other 25 mins aangs backstory and I don’t know this cuz of the vid.
M night for sure is not valid
Imagine if the original was the live action the legend of korra would be trash
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND - HE HAS RETURNED!!
I have missed youtube alot! Im so glad to be back after 2 years, and really appreciate the overwhelming support. Already look into my next video!
this is not anime in 3 books. i thikn the series on Netflix was prety good. Noot like anime but this is a serie in 8 episodes. Probany it wil be new 2 seassons. Anda Avatar was in top 10 series in 30 countries for a several weeks
Its so popular because its so good!
Lets talk about Azula
Yeah Azula in the remake was ROUGH
video in 18:44?
Its a great video! You should definitely check it out:
"I watched Velma" - Shoe0nhead
OH BOY A NEW VIDEO ABOUT SOMETHING IVE NEVER SEEN
Uhhhhh yeah you never ever saw it lolololololol
I know this is crazy but I hated the movie less. I saw the movie for the first time a month before the Netflix show released so I was already expecting to not take it seriously, so I took it for what I kind of knew it was. But with the Netflix series I was actually expecting it to be…good?? I was more disappointed in the show tbh.
Yeah for sure, the neftflix remake was a huge disappointment. Like, I didn't expect it to be bad, and it was for sure so much worse that I expected.
@@richwrites5683 also I didn’t see you talk about the previous avatars in this video, what was your thoughts on them? For me it was some of the most frustrating character assassinations too. All of them were butchered. Even kyoshi is mad at him for running away from his duty but he never ran away!! It’s so weird that they made changes but didn’t even stick with them. It’s an easy writing choice to still have him run away, because the script still acts like he ran away !
the kendrick lammar soundtrack was sooo good on this video
Yeah I really liked the way it added to the vibe of the video
45:01 Zhoa was killed by the ocean spirit not the moon spirit
It's funny that you say that, because I noticed I made this mistake WAY too late to fix it. I was hoping nobody would notice...
BABE, WAKE UP!!! RICHARD INSCRIBES IS BACK!!!!
It's hard for me to say if sokka is the most screwed over... They really.. they really messed everyone up...
Katara was... Soooooo badddddd... So bad... Miss.. I can learn airbending from nonsensical... Proverbs? Ans im my own master girl boss.. ans im also trying to get the healers killed..
Suki was... Just, disgusting? Like, attacking Sokka for no reason.. basically just wanting d the whole time. Instead of being a warrier...
Changing Kyoshi from a calm, level headed mentour to... Whatever the avengers fuck they gave us.. including a superhero landing..
Basically no Avatar Roku...
But the sexism was bad.. they tried to "get rid of" thr sexism. But made it worse somehow...? Like, that takes tallet..
And like.. putting all of your female healers with no combat training on the front line? Because woman power? Uhmmm.. riiiiighttt
Dont even get me stared on how they butcherd Zhao into some.. frat boy dropout? With... Actually no skills?
And Azula literally being just a whiny brat who's not scary at all 😢😭
Its all so so bad..
Or what they did to my boy Hakota 😭
Literally had to come back for ozai because I'd forgotten him. He was so ridiculous and forgettable 😂😂😂
I also tried to delete Bumi from my mind 😂 totally forgot he existed
The scenes of Katara were removed for seemingly no reason???
Come on, man... if they had all that, there would be like 8 more episodes just to cover Katara herself. The series, if you didn't get it, is a lot shorter to keep interest, and a lot more to the point. There are many arcs that could not be shown because of time. I am not saying the live action series is great... it is not. There are some things I did not like either, but some points you are hitting on just do not make sense.
Everything you said about Azula is point perfect! I agree with every word.
Then again... you start talking about how they put different stories happening simultaneously... again.. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME!!!
I see where youre coming from in terms of the number of episodes, but in terms of the amount of minutes, the netflix remake is even longer than the original series, so they did have the time.
My personal opinion is that Anngs story is fully complete and the comics go into his adult years , how about they go forward in time after Korea to the earth bender avater or they go back in time and explore avater szeto .
Id love to see more shows about other avatars in the same animation style as the original series!
@@richwrites5683 mhm long live the fire 🔥 nation , all hail fire lord zuko .
Okay why some fire nation villains are chubby like azula and mai? Not to be rude but they should be lean and well built to appear more menacing😂 their villains people😤
Wouldn't u see their breathe in the arctic
Yeah I was wondering that too
Okay so while I don’t like the remake and I agree with. Lot of reviews and their points on why it’s bad. I also think there’s a lot of reviewers/fans that don’t get what made the show good in the first place to call it bad. I agree with must of the stuff in this review but the hate on SOME of the actors. I think most of what’s wrong comes down to directing and casting ngl I had to click of the video when bro said commander zhao! Was the best in the live action. I’m sorry but no one is taking that dudes seriously with that voice not to mention how much of a back seat he’s taken in this version.
Moon spirit?
Yeah I noticed that mistake when it was way too late to change it, and I hoped no one would notice. I was VERY wrong
Still a better upload schedule than Jenny Nicholson. At least I don't have to watch the show now, thanks!
Yeah, jenny and I are collabing, it should be out by 2031
i literally just cant take the actor for aang serious why does bro talk like that 😭😭
Yeah, drew gooden put it perfectly where he is always acting as if he is about to burst into song.
For one you haven't finish the first Episode how you know it's sucks bc the show almost equal the original most people
For me Netflix did awesome job I know it's not perfect and all the remakes different anyway so😊
What if instead of Avatar the last air Bender Netflix made Freakatar that last edge bender and Aang had to bring peace to Ohio?
It could never conclude because peace will never come to Ohio.
@@richwrites5683that’s actually true
I havnt seen it yet as I am going through and watching atla then lok and then the live action and yeah everybody says its bad except for my dad💀💀(yes he has seen live action and og and likes live action better)
I hope you enjoy ATLA and LOK! Theyre lots of fun
@@richwrites5683 yeah I finished ATLA and I’m on S3 of LOK as of now
I'm legally obligated to put in this comment
Im legally obligated to respond
@@richwrites5683 lol good job on the video
@@Joe19H thanks man, I appreciate it!
I mean you’re comparing a masterpiece to a show that’s just kinda aight. It’s not a classic it’s just a fun show to watch
Im glad you enjoyed it
🏳️🌈
Please clap
Ok... when you talk about the humor of the series, you lost me.
The live action is not supposed to be the animation! It is an adaptation, bringing the show to LIVE!! They cannot be in the same humoristic vibe as the annimation, or it would be considered silly... you would say it.. surely! In a very tense fight scene is not a place for humor... one is a cartoon, the other is supposedly a real representation... get over it.
Agree 😊
Lol, you people will never be satisfied. They are not looking please you nostalgia junkies.
I enjoyed the show, looking forward to the next season.
