- SPOILERS FOR NETFLIX'S AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER S1E1 "AANG"
Welcome to my reactions to the LIVE ACTION ATLA adaptation from Netflix! At the time of writing this I am about halfway through the series, and even though I may have minor critiques, it's very clear that they have brought us a new, fresh take while remaining as faithful as possible to the original! What additions they do make, I have been loving for the most part! This new perspective of the story feels incredibly visceral and raw, and in many ways the live-action medium definitely elevates and heightens some of the humorous or dark moments. I think this series has found a great balance while tapping into the core elements of the story we all love!
What did you guys think of this intro to the show??!!
Thank you guys so much for joining me for these reactions, I'll catch ya in Episode 2!!

I can FEEL how desperate Zuko is to return home. When Aang escaped, Zuko’s face of desperation and waning hope made me feel bad for him
That actor is nailing it.
I Benged all episodes last night before the internet found a way to spoil me 😂 Gowd Cat it's so Good!!!! The look's The Cinematography The Fighting!! I Love it how about that opening right The Order 66 of Air Temple :( can't Thank you and Tom enough for showing me this universe back in 2020 😂 Now.."Yip Yip!" 💨🌊🔥🌎✨
This is our time

Personally... I thought this show was a 10 out of 10 in terms of sets, costumes, casting, music.. But I find the writing to be so bad... Like, so seriously BAD. This show has major Rings of Power/the Witcher vibes to me... Feels like very expensive fanfiction. I honestly didn´t feel much love for the original series in this product. It felt like they didn´t like the writing and choices of the original very much, and they actually thought they could do "better" at several points. And to me, it felt like school play dialogue most of the time (even tho the actors were good). I don´t understand why you wouldn´t use A SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE from the original... With shows like One Piece or the Last of Us, I honestly believe ATLA deserves way better than this. I hope this show gets renewed, for the people who seem to enjoy it... But personally, I can´t wait till we get that third live action adaptation, in a few years from now. Perhaps third time is the one 🥲🥲
@@gabrielp9646 No worries everyone has there own flavor of what they like, Have a good day
@@gabrielp9646 So true I don't think this can even be considered avatar anymore with how much they bent and twisted the characters and story
I've never seen this before. I've never really heard of it, but I love it. Really good show, and I love the characters. The beginning made me cry a little lol, and I don't even know them yet, lol
Definitely check out the original cartoon if you enjoy this one! :)
LOOL!!! "Not the younglings!" While I've been referring to Sozin coming up on the Air Temple with that "Youngling Slayer Bending - Comet Style" hahaha
Not as catchy as the youngling slayer 9k. but I approve.
Me, reacting along with you. Such a strong opening episode!! also all the these peeps being singed like Anakin.... like damn.....
I am enjoying what I am seeing so far, can't wait to react along with you for the rest of these episodes!!
Avatar state yip yip!!! :-)
I’m gonna try to keep this as vague as possible, but after seeing your reaction to this episode, I’m really excited for you to get to a specific episode in Korra!
I think I know exactly what you're talking about. if you do say it, use a spoiler tag and many extra lines between intro and info
@@lyrebirb83 I’ll just say it’s a breathtaking episode.
I loved how we got to see things the animated series of Avatar the Last Airbender didn't show. plus the bending in this series was perfect and best of all the casting choice for the characters was awesome too.
It’s actually pretty good show, definitely nowhere near the original which isn’t supposed to be, but definitely miles better than the movie (that doesn’t exist). The thing is, this show is good enough when you separate it from the og, without comparing it and such, i give it 7,5/10.
The earth bender chase at the start was a great introduction to bending and the stakes.
Sozan was smart in leaking the plans but killing all the airbenders was stupid because the avatar would just reincarnate into a new generation not sure if that was a small oversight (granted Aang wasn't there but he didn't know that)
The CGI is top shelf
The actors definitely have nailed the mannerisms of the animated version but also made it there own too
except they hunted down waterbenders in the south as well i think
Yeah at it would give them at least 10 years with no avatar to worry about
@@TheKonkaman sure but considering that the war has been raging for 100yrs what does 10yrs waiting for the avatar to be ready really change
@@thestanleys3657 they didnt know that at the time
@@TheKonkaman touche 👍
I'm really loving this kinda fresh but familiar take on Avatar, hope we get book 2! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I hope not, stop ruining a wonderful cartoon
Hope so too as they can only get better from here. But people are literally so hellbent in comparing all of the cartoon to this first season of the live action. The cartoon's first book was also the weakest in the entire series
I love how they kept true to the intro sequenece! The scenery, bending, all looks so good. It was brutal but I'm also glad they kept the realism to the damage fire would do and didn't shy away. And awesome that Sokka has kept the humour, unlike the film version I won't name. I'm only 2 eps in but great start to the series!
Great start,the bending looks amazing,the production and effects look incredible :)
I was looking forward to your reaction! I'm loving this show. I went into this excitedly wondering if they were going to show the day the Fire Nation attacked. They did not disappoint!
Youngling slayer 9000 in action again :D
I've posted this on many reaction channels and I'll do so here too by asking you if you're having drinks tonight, do pour an extra drink for our fallen friend in Monk Gyatso because he went like a realist one by fighting to protect the children. 🥺😢
26:09 No worries Cat Got it covered 🔥👊
@Catherine LaSalle I’ve seen the first 4 episodes so far and I have to say, I was right there with you, I was completely shocked “no pun intended” that they showed Fire Lord Sozin actually straight up fry that earth bender alive and I thought much like you said out loud in your reaction “wow, that didn’t happen on Nickelodeon”
Which to be fair I didn’t watch the series for the first time as it aired on Nickelodeon I binged it on Netflix for the first time about 4 years ago during the pandemic era shutdown’s and honestly, team avatar got me through some pretty dark times, they were like my on screen friends when I couldn’t go out to see friends in real life, I hope that doesn’t sound too cheesy but, that’s legitimately how I felt when I felt sad and alone as I was watching that during the pandemic for the first time
Atla fanboy here ready for this
This show has captured the deep emotions of the original
YEAH!!!!
That moment you realize aang entered the avatar state as soon as gyatso died. Man i cried so hard through the whole battle scenes at the temple.
Wooow ! First of all, you are sooo beautiful 🤩💚 loved your take on the first episode hoping to see a video from you about Kyoshi
I love seeing Avatar the last Airbender fans
I'm not done yet but I love this show.
I just finished it and it was definitely 7/10.
Cool! That’s a solid score
It blows my mind how the general audience loves the One Piece adaptation but is so mixed on the Avatar adaptation.
i expect alot from atla
But the critics blasted One Piece, but this live action series Avatar The Last Airbender the critics and audiences gave a mixed to positive reviews to it, but hey i enjoyed the live action series of ATLA
one piece is an amazing story, but the anime had issues, mainly pacing. it’s why everyone is so very excited for the new wit remake and the netflix series. there are things that can be improved.
on the other hand, avatar needed little to no changes. when you adapt one of the greatest shows of all time, you’ve gotta make it great, which they didn’t. they took a great show and made it alright. that shouldn’t be praised.
Because people are comparing all of their knowledge of A:TLA 3 books to this first season of the live action
I enjoyed the season
Wow, I haven’t binged all of the episodes yet but as a fairly new avatar fan, I have to say I don’t see what these “supposed” avatar fans are going on about how it sucks and isn’t as good as the original animated series.
I watched the original animated show the first time about 4 years ago and honestly, all the major points so far in the first season are there so far, and honestly I had the fact that they showed the genocide of the southern air temple inhabitants spoiled but, I wasn’t expecting it to be so brutal.
In fact, somehow in live action the violence particularly when it comes to the fire benders and the fact right at the beginning it shows Sozin frying an Earth Bender alive and it actually shows a few quick shots of him screaming as he’s being burned alive, my first thought was “damn, I remember them showing them burning people alive in the cartoon but, you didn’t see the body screaming in pain and agony as it’s being burned alive.”
Honestly, from what I remember, I know they took stuff out and I get it, and hardcore avatar fans may hate me for saying this but, I think I might prefer the pacing of this adaptation so far, and some of the more vicious and brutal elements they brought to the live action show so far especially when it shows the pure viciousness of the fire benders.
Also, is it just me or does Daniel Dae Kim have such perfect casting that he looks like Fire Lord Ozai taken straight from the animated series and thrown into live action, I don’t know why but all the characters seem that way, right down to the voice work sounding just like how the characters talked in the animated show.
Also, Catherine if you didn’t know this already which you might have as a huge avatar fan but, we are actually getting a theatrically released sequel movie trilogy in the next couple years with the original team avatar showing what they are up to in their 20’s and 30’s after saving the world from Fire Lord Ozai.
There are some things that I like from this new series but I'm not sure if things will pan out well for this show. And yes, the younglings.
First 2 episodes were great… lol good luck after that 😅 they took some…. Liberties..!
Hi Catherine hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Finally.
Yeah to kinda quote Azula don't you know fans just make shows better
Tierra Agua fuego aire las cuatro naciones vivian en armonía hasta que la nación del ataco solo el Avatar 😎😎😎 maestro de los cuatro elementos podría detener los pero cuando el 🌎 mundo mas lo necesita el desaparecio... una referencia a la serie animada
All them ignorant twitter haters and people giving this a 6/10 need to stay quiet. Just like you and others said. “Let this show be itself.” “This is its own thing if I want to watch the cartoon I’ll watch the cartoon.”
Watch it in korean audio and this is a much better production. X10. Trust me.
Todos pensando 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐😎😎😎😳😳😳 pensando que Avatar era una serie para niños por qué era animada enseña redención honor perdón empatia todos los personajes son carismáticos el live action para conocer Avatar a todos los que nunca lo vieron
Some moments seemed cheesy with the Water tribe but otherwise episode 1 was above average.
Gran Gran is honestly my biggest disappointment, acting wise, which I'm blaming on directing. The actress has a 36 year career in some pretty good films, so I know she's better than her delivery here
i didn't really like seeing the genocide, nor aangs backstory. they basically told us everything about the kid BEFORE he even came out of the iceberg, which is just poor writing. the mystery behind aang is what really pulls you in to the original. i think it's a better adaptation than most, but it still isn't great, and when the original that you're adapting is one of the greatest shows of all time, that's a blunder. kinda understand why the creators left.
the bending is fricking awesome though.
If they make it exactly like the cartoon and repeating, the audiences some of them might complain about it, to me in my opinion i like that they made a little different but at the same time stayed true to the animated series
@@tovolume i honestly don’t get that argument. you have one of the greatest shows of all time as a reference. it’s praised so much for a reason. why would you ever want to change anything? why would you not follow it closely? netflix pushing away the og creators because they wanted to tell their own version of a story, that they had no part in creating, is where they went wrong.
maybe if you haven’t watched the original it’d be better, but why would anyone ever choose to watch this version over the one that will remain timeless? it’s just lame.
@@yagxr To erase the awful mistake that M.Night Shallow Man made
@@tovolume anything would’ve replaced that.
@@yagxr anything that also means the live action series that is doing a great job
My rating is 4.5/10, only for the complete miscast and character rework
It wasn't great... 6/10
