    @iamai_iggs Před 3 měsíci +49

    so according to a CZcamsr (the sword and pen reflections) who talked to the executives and show runners at the premiere party, they did a screen test of ep 1 and found that the heavy exposition was only a problem for people who already watched the animated series, while new audience really struggled with the concepts and lores of this world without these expositions. They were really debating whether to overload the 1st ep like this but I think if the ultimate goal is to get new fan into the show and hook them right from the beginning, I can see why they chose this. Would be interesting to see the reaction of people who had not watched the original series.

    • @tdogger17
      @tdogger17 Před 3 měsíci +9

      I just can’t agree here; the best shows make you question what’s going on and really think about what they’re showing you and how it might be connected to a greater plot. Show don’t tell is a huge issue for me right now with this

      People underestimate the amount of exposition in the entire cartoon. It was for 7 yesr olds. It had more than the Netflix show. The exposition is very minimal in the rest of the show compared to the pilot episode.

    I wish instead of Sozin killing Gyatso I wish Netflix would’ve entertained the Theory that a lot of Avatarist’s have been saying on their Channel that Monk Gyatso killed all of the FireBenders and himself by taking their air and killing them and himself just like Zaheer did to kill The Earth Queen.

      @aubryellaotero1064 Před 3 měsíci +24

      While I agree that is a dope theory and definitely fits Gyatso’s end I think it’s important they called attention to the fact that Sozin wouldn’t have won if it weren’t for the comet, also in this case it was impossible for Gyatso to pull off that move considering there were air nation children in the room

    The attack at the air nation was done amazing. Also, in my personal opinion, if there was no comet making firebenders stronger, airbenders would totally eat them up in that fight.

      Just because it wasn't that bad, doesn't mean it should equate to must watch, good, great or epic. Nor should derive automatic praise and be devoid criticism. Simply because it isn't that atrocious movie or it's not one for one remake(I never expect that given how horrible most are, nor did I demand that. It's all about the performance, line direction and progression that's suppose to come after natural). So far imo it's a 6.5/10. The dialogue is stiff and I'll paced within a simple conversation, exposition is never going to be compelling when not done without tact and it's rampant throughout episode 1. For story beats that are supposed to have room to breath, they sure sped up early plot points that were used to solidify who you are following their dynamics and why you should go on this journey with them. If I wasn't already a fan of the animations, I wouldn't be surprised if many NEW viewers saw this live action as meh, dropped it and never looked back. From what I've seen(two episodes)

    Just an FYI, but in the animated series when they escaped Zuko in the beginning, it was both Zuko and Iroh doing the fire blast and Aang blocked it with his air bending, but for some reason they had Katara who I think was too far away from the water block Zuko’s lone fire blast.

  • @SakuraPixie
    @SakuraPixie Před 3 měsíci +14

    I’m cautiously optimistic about this adaptation and am personally relieved to not be getting a scene by scene remake of the animated show. The original will always be there for me to revisit and I do appreciate the additions they made in this first episode. Is there some cringy acting and cgi…yes, yes there is but nothing ruins anything for me. Zuko is my favorite of the core four and, unfortunately, Katara the weakest for me but I’m really hoping the writing for her turns things around because I adore her look and the overall feel she brings. I don’t feel like binging this like I did with ONE PIECE but I will be finishing it with my son (we watched the animated version together too). My baseline was “please just be better than THAT movie” and it has well surpassed that for me 😂😂 granted, a very low bar to clear but they really could have messed this up horrifically and of what I’ve seen there is a homage to the original and the spirit is there.

    • @johnathancooper5753
      @johnathancooper5753 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Sadly you only get Shang-Chi and John Wick style fight scenes when EVERY SINGLE actor portrayed is a top-tier martial artist. Just one actor a little below that standard means editing needs to come in with cuts to make the action more seemless or else it looks like "play fighting". Just a sad logistic to choreography.
      I think only the Sokka and Zuko actors actually had prior martial arts training so the other main characters are all learning as they go.

    • @lokey834
      @lokey834 Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@johnathancooper5753 That as well. However, I think fewer cuts would’ve worked since I thought the actors weren’t that bad at adapting fight movements. Netflix’s One Piece, although different from ATLA, had a few longer shots with most of the actors not being pro martial artists (besides Mackenyu as Zoro), yet it still worked. But I guess if the actors can’t sell it yet, it makes sense to hide it with cuts, unfortunately.

    As someone who was watched the whole show it was way better than I expected. The show keeps faithful to the original were necessary while also adding great new elements to it that the original series didn't have. I think it's important to remember this is not meant to be a complete replica of the original just an adaptation. There are genuinely things I like better about this series than the original and some things I like in the original but overall I enjoyed the it. I really enjoyed that the tone feels like if the original series didn't have to be made for kids on nickelodeon.

    the looks of it to me personally are great. the visuals, the characters.. the fight scenes, omg the way they did the elemental fight scenes looks so good in this episode. but the sounds.. because i grew up with this show hearing the characters differently, they're just not hitting the same y'know. now that's not to say i think they're doing a bad job, cz honestly i dont even know myself cz i'm beyond biased. i'm trying to be objective but i'm so biased... Zuko though..!! yoh that kid gave me chills..!! he is so Zuko to me it's actually insane..! wow... and by the sounds i'm not talking about the voices being different no. obviously the voices are gonna be different cz these are different actors, with different voices.. no i mean that.. ugh how do i explain this- i'm not really feeling the characters in the way they sound. the way i'm used to feeling them y'know. ugh, i don't know if i'm even making any sense, but that's just my heavily biased opinion on the thing. maybe i'll get used to it. but Zuko.. favourite then, favourite now. oh and Aang too. that kid is also good (again, not saying the others are bad.. just personal preferences). really gives me his own Aang vibes.

      Cannot decide if the scene in Sozin's throne room is worse or the one with the air nomad council. In the first we switch from the villain gloating trope to the as you know trope but then again the line of the councilman isn't just another as you know trope but also in its delivery completely wooden and out of touch. I wish they would have cut the council scene and I guess this one was added to hammer home what the air nomads know.
