Sup Jerks! 

Man it feels good to say that and good to be back! 

Or does it? (Looking at you Sozin)

What's up you guys we're back in the Four Nations BUT HOLY SHIT IS THE OPENING SECTION OF THIS BRUTAL! 


Monk Gyatso is so good in this version! Mfer almost had us tear-bending THIS EARLY! 


What was once death by fire-bending, child murder, and GENOCIDE subtext is NOW ACTUAL TEXT! This is so much harder to watch and the ramifications of the War HIT SO MUCH HARDER Now! 


Then we head to more familiar, less horrific territory and it can be occasionally shakey but Ian is crushing as Sokka, Kia is great and Gordon honestly varies, but when he hits he's so solid as Aang! 


This episode was a lot but VERY promising! We're so encouraging for this show to do its own thing when it needs to, we just hope the spirit of the show remains intact! 


Also, we got Kyoshi rocking the intro!? 

Hit up this exclusive link to hang!

$5 TIER GETS to go ahead By ONE episode per YT Drop! 

$8 will go ahead by 2 episodes!  In about 2 hours, Episode 2 will drop on the Premium Streamium Tier in a few hours!! FMAB and GOT are also on the way as well! 

YIP YIP,

It’s great to be back.

it's already MILES ahead of the other live action stuff obviously and doing enough different things here and there to make it interesting and evocative so far! We're with it!

Aang wasn’t really flying. He can move in the air for a while without his glider. He can’t move in the air like Superman or Zaheer.

I sort of wish they explained to Aang how they knew he was the Avatar for people who are new to the show.

oh yeah, i get it, but for all intents and purposes! He's doing the Ironman move that Azula and firebenders can do, but with Air, makes sense!

Michelle

sozin is such a menace lol, this show really did a lot to elevate his presence. and gyatso! that actor is great, very emotional. and yeah episode was a bit rushed but overall, im likin it so far!

Aang picked 3 specific toys out of a huge pile when he was a toddler. His previous lives all picked the exact same toys.

I finished all of the season last night and I think this episode in particular is really damned good. I love all the casting so far; from industry vets like Hiro Kanagawa (Sozen) or our nascent team Avatar, for whom this is their first big project. Gyatso's actor Lim Siu has my damned heart, dude has about as much screen time in Ep1 here as he does in the whole series and nailed it. Got me all in my feelings. The quality and "accuracy" in some later episodes does vary, it lost me for a moment a couple of times, but I was honestly expecting that. Some of the beloved bits of the old show just won't land in a live action format. I think changes were handled well overall. Where they made changes it was forgivable. I don't need a scene for scene, line for line, remake, we have the old show for that. My biggest worry was it would entirely miss the vibe and tone of the original series and on that front I think they succeeded in landing it. The mfs out here instantly hating on it just suck and have no sense of objectivity or understanding. Those folks can legit kiss my ass. The dogmatic weirdos will never be happy with anything. Every fandom has these crybabies and to me they aren't fans of the thing, They just want to try and recapture the nostalgia of their first experience which is an impossible and an unrealistic expectation. It makes me happy I have the ability to block these people in YT comments, reddit, etc. If only the block button would exile these mfs to the fog of lost souls. We don't need these joyless asshats out here yucking our collective yums.

Exactly and they didn't really need to do that here for the way they are telling story. I always dug that they did it that was in the show because I think that is part of the real world mythology about how they find the successor to the Dalai Lama, Buddha, or whatever proper term is. Lots of stuff like that in the show where the writers and creators did some kinda deep cuts from the things that inspired them. Even down to names I think the names Gyatso and Tenzin are directly pulled from previous Dalai Lamas or other prominent Buddhist spiritual leaders.

GRRM made a post about how toxic fandoms are on social media. I started to notice this when the Last of Us 2 video game came out.

Sozen was terrifying, Overall the Fire nation's tone comes across as truly menacing in a way the old show rarely communicated. Gyatso scenes had me in tears but maybe just a sensitive boy.

Those TLOU2 haters were fucking unhinged. Back in the 90s when I was a Star Wars zealot, I would lump my dumb ass in with those toxic asshats. Then I grew up and got some perspective. I learned to try and enjoy things for what they are and what it seems they are trying to accomplish, rather than some wild ass personal expectation that is attached to all my own weirdo baggage. I am not blind to some of the perceived weakness of these things but it also exposed the fact that nothing is really as perfect as we remember, so take the joy where you can. There is always more. One of the reasons I dig watching reacts is that I get to vicariously experience it for the for time, again, with a new person's perspective. Even if that new experience is contrary to my own, it can be illuminating and fulfilling.

Well, in the original series they didn't actually show that until episode 12, so they may revisit it later.

Something to keep in mind I think is that the first season of AtLA, especially the first half of it, wasn't THAT good. It was decent and it did a lot of character and world building that paid off later but for the most part it wasn't on par with S2 or S3 which were the level of quality most people remember now. So the beginning of the remake not measuring up to the best parts of the original isn't the end of the world.

I just finished the series and I surprisingly LOVED it. I love all the changes! And the budget they have to have so much bending is also veru surprising. So good!

James W.
>>130528235

Yep. I was in my 30s when the show aired so lots of the kiddie tone got on my nerves at first until I got into the groove of it. What kept me there was all they were doing in like subtext that is now more explicit in the Netflix version; to varying affect. It is why the "Not a kids show!" meme from the Normies and others doing reacts was funny but true. To most young folks watching that stuff went over their head but as an adult it was refreshing to see the creators tackle some pretty big ideas.

Finished it a few days ago and let the kneejerk reactions I felt watching it smooth out lol. In my opinion, it's the most fun I've had watching a 6/10 show recently, and I mean that positively. Watched the show with another die-hard Avatar friend and we definitely had fun watching it. But I'll be honest, there are a lot of things I have a problem with, from changes in themes, characters, storyline mashups, that make me question how these will fit on a foundational level going forward. However, with all that said, there's enough for me to want to see more and root for them to work out these kinks and see them continue to expand their vision.
