27:31 I agree with this part. The kid actors inexperience shows at times. It’s not so bad that it’s a distraction for me but it is noticeable. I felt they got better as the season goes along. Enjoyed your reaction to the episode. I thought this was a great first episode and enjoyed this series overall. I’m not a super fan of the original show. Only saw the animated series recently in prep for this show. I’m in the tiny minority that thought the show was overrated. I see why people loved it and can see it has all the elements of a great kids show but I think for me it was just ok. I think the hype made the expectations higher for me so I was expecting an amazing cartoon. It wasn’t that for me so this adaptation was fun and I like the stuff they did with it.
I'd say the Gyatso scene hits way harder, and in the cartoon, Katara grabs and hugs Aang to pull him out of it. I like this version of it better. This Aang is more responsible.
If I recall correctly, Katara doesn’t pull Aang out of the air bubble in the anime/cartoon. He’s impossible to reach in that state. She has an emotional monologue to him about loss and calms him down then embraces him in the hug after he’s landed with no air bubble. He’s still in the avatar state but already calming. We don’t really get the emotional speech here until the finale, that’s all I say lol
I disagree. I like katara talking to aang in the cartoon. Aang is such a strong character already. It gives Katara such good character development and a personality. The first episode there isn’t much from katara in the live action.
Aang did nothing this entire season but talk about how he feels instead of showing it and say what he wants so how is he more responsible 😂 I dont hate the show I just wish it was better it has potential it just needs a lot better writing and directing
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se 🤭 I really enjoyed the show. I have nitpicks and things I hope get better in season 2, but I think it overall was great. They expanded on the story in some cool ways. I’m looking forward to season 2.
You can tell the parts they got best were the parts the M. Night Shamalan movie did wrong. If season 2 comes out, i hope the actors and directors get more flow and training. Chalk it up as growth, i mean. Team Avatar is kids growing through a journey.
Really guys? Coming out with new content when I'm still halfway through the Naruto series? I'm gonna have to start watching on multiple screens just to catch up with ya'll. 😅 But really, it's so great to see your channel evolving and you guys being able to invest in better equipment reflects the hard work you guys both put into your product. ❤️👏👏👏❤️
Not sure I agree with the love for the first episode. The only redeemable parts to me are the choreography, bending, and anything that doesn't involve Aang, Katara, or Sokka. It feels like they were playing a lot at the original concepts of the show, but nothing hit as strong or as deep. If you are familiar with the show, it all just hits very shallow and feels like they're removing a lot of the depth to most of the characters. I stand by what I've seen others say - the changes are terrible, the additions are amazing.
@@RelaxwithJC I look forward to watching your opinions then! I will say, episode 6 is highly redeemable and probably the best episode of the season. I’ll still agree that it’s better than the movie too.
Dropping off a hug for my fellow tearbenders! 🫂

That’s Sozin in the beginning 😁
The genocide scene was traumatizing. I couldn’t believe it. It was so brutal. I liked it, but yeah it was real depressing to watch.

They won me over by simply saying Aang 😂😂
I love the new depth added that the cartoon couldn’t add

Let's get it!
fun fact that most people forget, but Momo was quietly confirmed to be Gyatso reincarnated
I never even realized that
By who ? That's been a fan theory for years but even in interviews I've never heard the creators say anything like that
I cry😢
The Gran-gran exposition scene was delivery was SOOOOOO cringey 😂😂😂
There were a few times where I had to hold back the cringe 😂
Gran grans intro hurt me a couple times too!
It was her teeth that bothered me the most. 😂
Please watch attack on titan ❤

After watching up to episode 4. My opinion has changed a bit on the show overall.
