We gotta get through this quickly, we only have 3 movies!" And it sucked so there was only one movie lol.

    In my personal opinion. Live action adaptations can be accomplished. But there is something about animation where live action is held back, with animation you have far more freedom and control to play with and it lets people adjust tiny details that make a second viewing better. Live action will always have its limits even with the addition of cgi or old fashioned practical effects yet it doesn’t make it automatically bad or better. Everyone has their preferences. Although I do love the fact that the cabbage merchant is the same actor from the original series! Edit: As an adult I love the Uncle even more and it kind of made me an anti war person. “After Six hundred days away from home, my men were tired and I was tired.” You can tell in his voice on a second watch he’s thinking of his son. 😢

    @herm712 Před 3 měsíci +10

    It was never going to be better than the original--when something is perfect, there's no way to improve it--but for what it was, it was a solid adaptation. My biggest gripes were with some of the defining characteristics for some characters. I loved the actor for Uncle Iroh and I think they cast him well, but a key part of his personality was missing. In this show he was either serious or kinda sad the majority of the season whereas in the cartoon, he's always bringing light-heartedness to Zuko's perpetual cloud of gloom. Iroh is so wonderful because he can go from being wise and pensive to goofy and silly and then will bust out some Dragon of the West a$$-kicking stuff...he's a complex character and we just didn't see enough of that.
    I get them introducing Mai and Tylee early but for all they added to the story, they shouldn't have bothered. Mai is SO dry, monotone and sarcastic and Tylee is the complete opposite--super bubbly, upbeat and happy...we got like 1% of that from either actor. I guess they didn't really have anything to do other than stand around and watch Azula, but I found both of them to be wholly boring and nothing like their characters. Hopefully they'll do better in season 2.
    Overall though, it was a decent adaptation. Very condensed (from 20+ episodes in the original down to 8, I expected it) but no major upsets in terms of completely messed up plot points; the acting was decent from the kids but not great. I'd expect they'll get better as the seasons progress, though I will say the guy they got for Sokka was about 97% perfect to Jack Desena's Sokka. He captured Sokka's sarcasm and I found myself laughing out loud at him more than anyone which was great. Yeah, overall, it was good.

    This recap shows the outline for the live action series was great. Filling in the outline with bad dialog is where they lost it. I think more changes like have Azula older than Zuko but not first in line for being a girl. Then focus on more adult acting with good writing.

    These recaps save my social life lol! I do not have time to watch long shows like these, but you recap them well for me to get the overall tone and message of the show. I've even watched recaps of shows I've already seen. You do a great job!
    As for this live-action, I think I love the original show too much to ever be satisfied with anything else. Also, I don't think I am the target audience. I think this is meant to introduce a whole new generation of people to the story of Avatar, and I think that will work. The graphics are nice, and the characters are good visual representation for the cartoon.
