general

honestly, Northern water tribe was the weakest part of the season

in terms of story adaptation

skipping the air temples was replaced with more flashbacks

and it's a fine styalistic choice, to give more insight into Ang gradually

(does a better job than his awful acting for sure)

I’m surprised they cut Sokka in a dress

I thought all of the lefties thought the right wingers hated that part because of the cross dressing

ok ive resumed watching first episode

wierd cut from when aang and sokka first talk when hes looking for appa

why is the firenation ship so fucking close to the water tribe village

holy shit

having Gran Gran do theintro speach is so fucking exposition

she just gets up and says it

they cant deliver lines for shit oh my lord

i guess it makes more sense for Sokka to not be the only teenage boy in the village

but the other guy is just wierd to see thats the same age

if not older

He looks like he should have been yue's fiance

also why no sokka war paint

Zuko V Sokka and then V Aang isnt choreographed that poorly

actually not bad on that part

better than the choreo was in the cartoon for those fights

Anng and Iroh conversation isnt bad in its idea

but its like the iroh actor just turns to the camera and hams it up everytime tea is mentioned

it liks he was directed to do that specifically

the flying bison cut with sokka screaming is funny

their manually bended fireballs sure do have a long fucking range

if only they had some sort of fireball launcher to make more sense of that

for her second time waterbending Katara bends a wave of water from 200 feet in the air

the cuts to the flashbacks when Aang goes into the avatar state with Gyatso seem odd. They need something to make it seem like a flashback

this show is littered with ADR

Aang ends the first episode with "Im the avatar. and this is just the beginning" but i would have really fucking loved it if he said Im the avatar and you gotta deal with it

ill wait for E;R to make that joke in his review of it

god Zukos scar man

it just needs to be so much bigger

its like Ozai only specifically targeted his eye

how does Aang know what an hour is

ok Gran Gran giving her the scroll makes more sense

but this means less Cabbage Man probably

ah Suki's Mother specifically

also where the fuck is foaming mouth guy

Sokka fumbling the bag

Zuko's ship isnt smaller than the rest of the ships at Zhao's base

I dont like them learning about the avatar state this early

it makes it seem like s2e1 wont be visited in season 2 (assuming they are gonna do the whole series) and thats an important episode

they keep the 3 years of zuko being banished timeline intact

Kyoshi telling Aang about the avatar state and then posessing him to defend Kyoshi (from Zhao AND Zuko on different fronts) is interesting and just totally steals that beat from Roku which is makes more sense for.

Zuko is more reasonable in this

less rash

which is an odd choice

thats half of his character arc

said Kyoshi sequence looks so odd too

its full on her moving around and that didnt happen the two times in the original show they couldnt walk around

ok their reasoning is, Aang "can only call upon the past avatars when hes in their shrines" which makes absolutely no sense as she moved OUTSIDE of her shrine

he was OUTSIDE of the shrine when channeling her

I like Zhaos acting

just his voice is off

Ozai's voice is good

So theres a group in the firenation capitol that wants to assassinate ozai apparently

and azula infiltrates the group and lets them in the capitol

and they just didnt know what the princess of the firenation looked like when they live in the capitol

who cares

you

no

yes

another case of modern writers not caring about the setting. To them the plotters just appear out of thin air and have no past with the setting or current events

I hate modern writers so much bros

So for one, Cave of two Lovers was put into book 1

Sokka and Katara run into them while trying to get to bumis castle (Omashu episode has Jet, Omashu, Northern Air Temple, Cave of Two Lovers and the Iroh captured by earthbenders all in one)

And they netflixed it

They made Oma and Shu lesbians

So the badgers were a euphemism

also aang somehow brings katara and Sokka into the spirit world??

Wan Shi Tong is there? Heibai is present but isn’t the one terrorizing the villagers it’s Koh?

Can you use a thread

No

I can imagine people liking the show, the stupid outrage marketing they did was probably the right move

most people 's take-away will be "aside from XXX actor being shit, it was pretty good"

This conference is a global warming circle jerk
