The hype around Toph for Season 2!!! They gotta nail that casting. It might be what sets the tone for s2's reception
They gotta cast big muscular man
@@O1iviaWard That's for book 3. when we have the ember island players.
@@O1iviaWard dyawne the rock Johnson or John Cena as toph. Batista can work too
@@O1iviaWardTerry Crews. I won't accept anyone else.
@@mr0gokuwe want rock for the Boulder
okay but can we just take the time to appreciate that the cast themselves actually know the deep lore and are obviously huge fans of the original series
Loved that 😊
They are amazing!!!
ozai’s angels?! pleaseseee😂😂😂that’s perfect!!!
The casting for Long Feng & VA for Wang Shi Tong (owl) has to be top tier. Those “villains” scared me as a kid so keep that energy for live action
watch the Season 1 live action! you'll be in for a surprise 😉
Didn’t they already introduce Wan Shi Tong in the 5th episode, according to the cast, it’s Randall Duk Kim. Also George Takei as the face stealer is brilliant, but I do love seeing Arden Cho as June (MTV Teen Wolf fan here)
@@bigguy952Wan Shi Tong was a surprise for me. Loved how he looked. The CGI was so good.
@@bigguy952 Arden Cho isn't the only Teen Wolf actress in the show! I literally looked it up like 20 mins ago bc it was bothering me I couldn't tell where I recognised her from, but the woman playing Suki's mother, Tamlyn Tomita, also plays Kira's mother
@@tova1412I thought I recognised her!!!
Daniel referencing Hiroshi Sato was epic. That show doesn't get as much appreciation as it deserves!
I appreciate you
@@captain..u no I appreciate you
@@mayrar8909 Appreciation for all y'all!
He did voice him so :D And Asami's va was Princess Yue in the other thing that shall not be named. They double down in that Sato clan.
he completely forgot about his other character General Fong who in the animation actually did appear in season 2. he seems to have..... a certain goal whenever he is in an avatar show it seems...
Both in the cartoon and live action, Zuko character development always got me in tears.
🥺💖
We need toph! Her character is so interesting and can’t wait to see the interaction between them 😮
I bet Toph's also waiting to see
💀
@@gregory6730 Toph is looking forward to this
@@captain..u only… with her… feet 😎
@@captain..u Toph doesn't see the humor in this
Paul is uncle Iroh in real life love his humor
I wish his writing was better in the live action
@@Fedora-_-Laurahe is wise in live-action, and all the phrases he says are wise 😮
Gordons sympathy with Avatar Kuruk
is so Aang coded he is indeed Aang 🥹
I love that Kiawentiio is an Azula stan.
Tbh i wasn't hype for the show at first but after the first episode you gotta admit it's pretty good, the effects, the cast, everything was well done, can't wait for the next season
I’m so SO excited to see S2 since I JUST finished binge watching S1😭❤️
Me too!! I need it now!!
Who else has seen the entire first season within 3 days already?
Me and my sister lol
i watched it all the first day it came out lolol
Finished in 1 day
Then I did the same for the animated series
PERFECT CASTING LITERALLY
if we get the boulder in s2 and its not the rock, i have no more hope in humanity
I absolutely can see that happening 😂. He wld make the perfect Boulder.....literally😂
@@bandaemmanuel1 fr
I was just telling this to my friend!
or he could be toph in the ember island play
@@_eternxl_FR. 😂😂😂😂
I can't wait to see Toph 🤧..i addicted Avatar and I'm so glad that they make a live action movie ..🥺
Ian is amazing. I never thought I'd laugh out loud at "hey, is that a frog or a froggy thing?" But Katara carries the show for me ngl
Really? I feel like Ian and Dallas put a ton of passion in the role. I feel like Kiawentio and Gordon could be a bit better but they are definitely the youngest members of the main cast so I won't go too hard on em. They still are decent!
@@royshavrick Emphasis on "for me". But yeah, they all did amazing, I just like the direction of Katara as the glue of the Gaang.
nice
agree! Katara's acting is one of the best (along with iroh, ozai, suki's mom), I just find her movements when waterbending and other stuff a little bit awkward.
@@psypsy751 Yeah I see that, you can tell they tried their best for sure! I like them all tbh
Love Dallas Liu as Zuko. More episodes please 🙏
This is THE BEST CAST FOR AANG!!!! Need season2 and the others
I NEED SEASON 2
What's your rating of the Netflix version
@@Jin_1398 I would personally say a solid 8/10.
They really did a great job at casting, the effects and stuff are top tier and it does for the most part stay true to the original. My only critique is there's a few scenes that they don't include that really should have been. Since you can't really spoil the remake of a show made almost 2 decades ago I will just say they really neglected to show irohs true pain from Lu Tens death, the cabbage guy wasn't as prominent and the secret tunnel song was nerfed to the ground. They also left out the struggle Sokka had in accepting that women could fight.
However, they did include scenes not seen in the original that were a welcome addition and very epic.
100% recommend watching this show though. Very well done live action adaptation
@@RealLordVoldemort I actually like it too. Maybe a 7/10. Even if I see a lot of negative reviews, I still hope for a season 2
Considering all the cartoon live actions.. I have to say the actors fit their roles pretty good. I'm sure a lot of fans didn't like the storyline but with limited budget and limited episodes, you can't blame the directors as they had to fit what they can fit best. People wanted everything fit down to the T but yet no one talks about films like iron man and etc. I liked the show and hope to see season 2. I cant wait to see Ang started going beast mode using other bending styles. I think the point is to keep the fans wanting more and being thrilled for the next episodes to come.
LOVED IT👏🏼 incredible cast
Season 2 I wanna see who they get to be The Boulder and if it’s an actual wrestler or bodybuilder for the role lol
I kind of want to see Paul slowly get more fit so that by the third season or so, he’ll surprise everyone with his prison bod just like Daniel DAE Kim did as shirtless Ozai
Funny thing he said he’d be honored to wear the green shirt for that😂😂😂
Well the only obvious choice for The Boulder is The Rock lol.
@@Cazammaf hopefully he gets to play the boulder
@@rftg1793 when did he say that?
@@medicineishere as long as live action Moana doesn’t conflict with the schedule for filming
I really loved the show! I couldn't stop watching all episodes straight! Now waiting for our next season with toph so bad!
Just finished the last episode ❤ it was great I hope and pray 🙏 there is another season lol I hope we get to see more interactions with Appa and Momo!!
YESS
We need more episodes to flesh out season 2. And the og creators back on the writers room. Cmon Albert Kim!!
Toph better say twinkle toes in the show… 😌
That’s all I have to say.
Dear Netflix, please don’t cancel this show yet!!!!!
“Anything with hair is a bonus” 😂
WAIT SO THERE IS A SEASON 2 AHHHHHHHHH ❤❤ I CANT WAIT IM DIEING TO SEE IT !!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
its cool that theyve watch original avatar cartoons! kudos!, love the show!
Gordon you are awesome for playing the last avatar
*** Airbender
My guy's writing Korra off the story LMAO
@@Vekcrazahim curious how they are gonna do Legend of Korra if Aang and Katara dont end up as a couple. And Zaheer is irrelevant because apparently all air benders can fly.
@@Ganji1996Assuming they even do LOK.
@@Ganji1996 okay first off, too early to say Katara and Aang won't end up as a couple.
Second, Zaheer's flight is involuntary. He even flies while meditating, so I assume the difference of flight between airbenders and the flight from Guru is that all airbenders can glide and even fly a little bit (just as how firebenders can always do fireblasts to fly) but not to the same amount of control as that of the perfected technique.
Love that the cast seem to have watched the cartoon and know their avatar facts
If everyone wants Toph to be in season 2 they should find an actress who has the same spunk like the cartoon
They're adorable! This show is perfectly cast.
I love everything about this making one my favorite shows as a kid relevant again this is awesome thank u
Paul and Daniel have such an iconic brotherly dynamic in my opinion and I love it
EXCITED FOR TOPH THE BLIND BANDIT IN SEASON 2!!!
I am rewatching it huhu. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE ZUKO AND UNCLE IROH 😢😢❤❤❤ s2 pleaseeee❤❤❤❤
Not me thinking I could be cast as Toph just because I can't see more than a foot in front of me (that is, without glasses). What a coincidence I also did martial arts HAHAHA
(I'm so delulu)
Cmon netflix continue the series!!!
The animal from avatar that I would want is a bear. Not a platypus bear. Not anyother bear. Just a bear.
I want me a dragon
I just hope that the writers hold enough respect still for Mako and will not have Paul Sun-Hyung Lee sing Leaves from the vine. It was emotional enough just to hear the instrumental version of it play in the background of S1, but most importantly, it was Mako's song. I hope it remains that way.
Bro i can not wait for season 2 im so excited for this My fav actor is Aang because i love his ACTING it so good 👍
Yall should make more seasons showing him learning new elements because it is 1 on Netflix in my opinion
when is season 2 ? im ready
me too
Same
does this mean theyre renewed for a 2nd season. cuz the latest news saying not yet was 8 hours ago and this was posted 7 hours ago.
Gordon has the perfect hair for when Aang wakes up in the fire nation.
Toph is gotta be the hardest character to cast bro especially since she's like a fan favorite if i ain't mistaken so if they don't nail it 💀
Just finished watching it and I love how they changed some parts for the better especially Katara’s growth and becoming her own Master and then the part with Kiyoshi taking over and fighting was amazing to see.
NEED 2ND SEASON ASAP
Tbh I didn't love the live action. But I do love this cast and it's their passion that'll drive me to keep watching. Hope the writers can iron out the issues that season 1 had
Aang's actor voice is changing there wil be a time jump for sure
Is he going to shave his head again?
@@captain..u why wouldnt he aang was bald in book 2
@@daifaiv idk. Maybe he cured the cancer
@@captain..u bruh
@@captain..u dumb ahh
Season 2🔥🔥🔥
I love theme
I think Episode 8 should have been Fire Nation vs. Omashu seeing that the Fire Lord has Omashu's King.🤷♂️🍻
TLOK IS MENTIONED 😍‼️
I love you kia
I TOO CANNOT WAIT TO MEET TOPH BEIFONG
The Sokka actor has more Sokka energy in real life than he does in the show. Live-Action Sokka is rigid and barely smiles
I want a whole series on Avatar Wan!
you know, this series could easily do spin-offs on the lifestories of each previous avatar. would be interesting to see how each previous avatar came to be the avatar of their time
I LOVE avatar the last airbender live action series so much?
1:30: “ahahahah,HAHAHAHA- sorry..”
Zuko & Saka Gak banget 🤫😝🤣
they confirmed s 2 already?!!!
I can't wait for toph
Really hope that The Boulder gets to make an appearance
DANIEL REFERENCING LEGEND OF KORRA! HE DID HIS HOME WORK AND I LOVED IT!!
i mean that was him after all
He was the voice actor lmao
@@dudea3378 I'm brazilian and what animation in portuguese, so I didn't know that 😅
Gordon going thru puberty right before our eyes. His voice has started breaking and has a deeper timber than the show.
Same with the actor of Percy Jackson!
Paul Sun-Hyung Lee gives me aang vibes. I feel like if I aged, he would be paul sun-hyung lee.
Katara's actress needs to practice her facial expressions because wtf was she doing? OG Katara is known for her explosive range of expressions, and so far the actress showed one: 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
i agree she is limited on her acting, and she happens to play a very pivotal character. most of them really need more acting coaching, and that's where i think a korean team would've done better with producing this kind of show. koreans are very particular with getting the casting right from the very beginning, and really coaching their actors on their acting
she needs to slow down and not try to say all her lines in one breath
Honeslt,y Kuruk ain't a bad answer. Bro was fighting spirits. Alone! And we saw how hard Korra was fighting some of those things! And Oh shit! I didn't realize Daddy Dae Kim voiced Hiroshi Sato! I can definitely hear it!! Hiroshi lowkey had a sexy voice! DDK has a sexy voice for sure!
We gotta pray more series for uncle iroh
I think that hei bai is underrated
cool
What about THE BOULDER?
This Sokka looks more like the Sokka from ember Island players
3:04 The Boulder:
*We need 10 seasons minimum*
Of course Toph, but I hope they are going to add Jeong Jeong in Season 2
no spoilers katara
I thought it was azula
Season 2 when???
I cant believe daniel dae kim is 55
Kiawentiio looks like Danielle from New Jeans
The show was pretty awesome toph will be sweet
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He’s not ur grandpa , he’s ur grandpas friend
Azula type beat
MIYA CECH AS TOPH WOULD BE PERF!!
azula type beat
This show is once again the proof that Netflix is unable to understand and respect the soul of the shows it is dealing with. Only teenagers that are not fans of the original show might slightly appreciate a show like this.
Just to mention one of the many mistakes this show fell into: if you portray the Spirit of the Ocean like a giant Godzilla/Kraken Koi carp punching the water like a Hulk, you clearly have ABSOLUTELY no idea of where Avatar The Last Airbender comes from.
Also, even if you're making a live action version of an animated product, we don't expect a cosplay show with hollywood style VFX.
Agreed. They don't understand the "show, don't tell" aspect of the original. This is exactly how they also ruined the cowboy bebop live action. It's bad writing and bad directing.
@@lilmamagc I agree with you completely: bad writing and bad directing. It's disrespectful to their own work. It is now evident that Netflix too is run like a tenth-rate dairy farm.
If I wanted to find something positive in this show I could mention the casting of Zuko, Sokka, Ozai and maybe Aang.
Please Netflix stop it now.
but zuko's hairstyle only until azula join the game
Why did you not cut the "grandpa" of Zuko? It's supposed to be a surprise for Non-ATLA fans 😅
The native girl who plays Katara is actually decent looking
I have mixed feelings, they kinda change a lot of the beginning.. idk about you guys
Agreed.
Lacking humour
@@potatobunny3436 they also changed Aang's back story... changed sokka's personality.. I'm really sorry but I guess I'm not continuing the series 😢😢😢
@@NicholasDheo Yeah that's valid. If you can't see past the og and the try to understand the narrative they're pushing for this one, you can always just stick to the OG.
@@kk_sj3635 Yeah you're right 🙏🏻
omg i just realised how they gonna make Toph in Season 2...Guys im pretty sure we see some transgender Toph (Isnt bad being Trangender) but they do it anyway just for the publicity
I swear Katarra actress looks like Avery Black, now gentlemen do your research.
If they do season 2, how are they gonna deal with Gordon sounding like that? Aang doesn't have a deeper teen voice, it's gonna be weird hearing Aang sound older when he should be 12 still.
They never mentioned the time left until the comet arrives in the Show.
That way they made space for timeskips to avoid stuff like that.
Mana Ashida will be Toph
the interviewer wearing the folklore cardigan is so 🥺🥺🥺
The guy who plays iroh definitely feels like iroh in this interview but I didn’t like his writing in the show
