Seriously, there was basically no difference between comet and no-comet bending, other than maybe what Sozin did vs Gyatso, but then again, Sozin was probably pretty nuts as a firebender even without the comet.

I know right? Like in the prime continuity the Fire Nation attacked the temples and then conducted a massive operation to clean up survivors. This show was just…. They’re all in one place

​@@xanderfulton3186 I find it completely unbelievable that not one air nomad stayed at any of the other temples. No one was sick, or just had a baby? Absolutely everyone was healthy enough to go? And don't they have crops there, or animals that need to be taken care off?

@@fleurtherabbitfunny right? how the live action show thats trying to take itself more seriously ends up with larger strains on your suspension of disbelief... Sozin attacks all 4 temples at the same time in the OG. And it feels like a geocide that took place. In this show its just... one attack on one temple. Its like bad... but the scale is all off

That’s my biggest complaint with the show is how the comet didn’t make them look any different when it came to fire bending

This makes me feel very whelmed

Thanks. I wasn't sure if there was a term ngl for it, but I think 'cheap' works just as well lol. Nah in all seriousness glad someone knew it.

Also, they showed their hand way too early. In the OG you know the comet would make them powerful, but seeing just how strong Iroh has become is shocking. It makes you scared for Aang because you couldn’t imagine Ozai being as powerful as he is.

My sister was disappointed the comet wasn't present in the scene until we rewatched it to catch someone else up and, yep, that giant blazing comet from the cartoon is now a tiny almost Game of Thrones bleeding star way off in the æther where we literally didn't notice it...

@@J__T The way animated Sozin’s Comet turns the sky red and skims across the atmosphere is legit scary A couple more feet and Sozin’s Comet could be an apocalypse event and not an astrological event

"We get nothing about the comet enhancing their powers, except that one hamfisted line Sozin says to Gyatso. My mom had to ask me what the deal with the comet was. Wild how a show that's obsessed with over-explaining everything doesn't explain how the comet works." I fcking hate that line it's so cheesy. "You might have prevailed on another night, but not when we have the power of the comet" that isn't natural, that isn't scary, that is nothing but telling the audience they are attacking the night of the comet WHICH WE CAN ALREADY DEDUCE because of the festival that was mentioned, and the comet over head. My god Netflix just has no faith in our intelligence.

it should fit except if they said that they would have to show that, and just like your mom noticed the comet doest do shit in the show, firebending is terrible all the time

Yeah, he doesn't run away. That's not a part of this story. It's a different story. No one who knows his story actually accuses him of running away from his responsibilities; it's the people who don't know what happened who are upset that he seems to have abandoned his responsibilities for 100 years.

What you're saying would make sense except for the fact that Aang's literal spirit reincarnations haven't gotten the memo that he didn't run away, It feels like the plotline of him not running away was made at the last minute or during reshoots.

Why did they even make that change? What purpose could it have possibly served?

@@joshbuoy8661 I think it actually makes more sense. Aang is scared of the responsibility and wants to keep the life he head. Then why would he run away and leave the life he had behind? Like what was Aangs plan in the original show? He just ran away with no real goal and while yes he was scared it doesn't seem in line with his character to leave all his friends behind and then try to live alone in hiding.

@@pandy3848 You just answered yourself, Aang was told at 12 years old that he was the most important person in the world and that he had to stop an oncoming war while going around the nations to learn the other elements, and he was going to until he learned that Gyatso wouldn't come with him, that made all the pressure scare him and made him have the emotional decision of running away, you can't really expect a 12 years old monk who was raise in a pacifistic culture to make the moral and logical decisions right away Now let's be real, if he didn't get stuck in the iceberg he would have come back after a day or two, he simply got frightened of what he had to do alone And it's not like kids IRL don't run away from home for the dumbest reasons, they don't do it with a goal in mind they just do because they are in a volatile emotional state and it feel right to get away from whatever is making them feel bad, after they calm down the realization of what they're doing hits them and go back And if you need an example watch Inside Out

It isn't even game of thrones since not _everyone_ especially the good guys are obsessed with and driven by power. This is just really really bad post modern influenced writing by people who clearly didn't understand the original show or its characters.

​@@MundaneThingsBackwards The original was already pretty blatantly postmodern. This is just the normal kind of bad writing.

@@ribozyme2899 ??? I don't think you're quite sure what the word means. ATLA was an incredibly traditional hero's journey story with true good and true evil existing in the universe. It borrows wisdom and concepts from ancient eastern religion. It celebrates science and even ties ethics and morality to it. All concepts post modernism doesn't actually believe exist or is deeply skeptical of. No, this is bad _post modern_ writing.

​@@MundaneThingsBackwards Just because there exists very good and very bad people doesn't mean that Avatar centers around that. One of the most important messages of the show is the ability one has to control their destiny and fight back against ideals of true good and evil. There are spirits and avatars and all sorts of crazy stuff, but it doesn't supplant the fact that the core of the show isn't just celebrating all of these traditional things. Hell, they even lampshade their own philosophy plenty of times, and when it comes to morality they aren't afraid to say there is no correct answer and morality itself is a nebulous concept, like time and death (and pants). The live action version is failing because there is no nuance present. There is no questioning of the themes or morals in the show, and there is just "zuko bad guy who want power, aang good guy get power."

@@BetaDude40 I mean you completely undermined your argument in the very first sentence. How can people be "very good" and "very evil" if morality itself doesn't exist and/or is a "nebulous concept?" Not very post modern, huh? But it gets worse! No, the point of the show isn't to fight back against the ideals of true good (it definitely is for true evil, a fairly traditional theme in story telling literally as old as story telling itself...) It literally allows Aang to embrace a form of morality so pure, it allows him to continue to remain a pacifist who refused to JUSTIFIABLY kill a genocidal maniac. The more morally grey but still incredibly good thing thing to do, suggested to him not only by his friends and the Avatars of the past, would have been to kill him whether in self defense and to preserve world peace and balance. He even gives Ozai the opportunity to end his plot and walk away. Something he definitely didn't need to do as the war raged elsewhere. Again, I'm not surprised that someone who's so sympathetic to post modernism that they see it in places it rightfully doesn't belong is a little confused about where Aang is on the good vs evil scale. Life is totally sacred > life is mostly sacred, save for those who would end it arbitrarily >>>>> life isn't sacred at all. You understand now? "...and when it comes to morality they aren't afraid to say there is no correct answer and morality itself is a nebulous concept, like time and death (and pants)." The time and death being an illusion thing is literally taken straight from Buddhist and generally eastern philosophy. Things a _little_ older than post modernism itself. Come on, that's supposed to be a easy one. lol. The fact that you're using it to pretend that the sophisticated philosophy the show presented was freaking post modern in any way shape or form is deeply deeply ironic. "There is no correct answer." False. Being given multiple correct answers doesn't mean a correct answer doesn't exist at all. If anything, Aang came to the MOST correct of all the answers because it resulted in the least loss of life. Another head scratcher from you, my friend. No mention of science, of course. the most indefensibly non-postmodern thing the show proudly embraced. (Why I personally call post modernism neo-troglodytism 🤣)

He basically says "I'm THE heir the to throne on a world dominating empire. You better leave a good impression on me"

That’s a great point that I didn’t think about. I think in the original it was supposed to make him feel completely alone, like there was nobody else his age that he could lean on to help him lead.

@@brody2590 For sure, I can see how the original works in terms of character and comedy, while the new version fits the more grounded feel the Netflix show inconsistently goes for.

It's also a pretty big plot hole from the original, Sokka and Katara leave the water tribe with some old people and a bunch of little kids to take care of each other.... somehow.

I think the og show traded realism for making a point how Sokka really feels like he was abandoned and can't fulfil the role society expected from him. That ia to be a warrior for his tribe and protect.

I thought in the original they were a dying tribe since all the men were gone, no new babies had been born conceived since they left essentially hence the sudden she cut off. Maybe the island got a "conjugal visit" from some passing ship about ten years before the series starts? XD

did you notice it swap to dead gyatsu reaction when he was burning?

Same 😂😂😂

You mean DEAD GYATSO REACTION?

She would poke him with a stick, but doesn't know what those are

It depends when it was filmed but I wonder if that's a covid thing. Actors not being able to physically touch in a scene due to social distancing. It's also of course possible in ensemble shows such as this to film every actor separately and composite them in post (thanks, Marvel).

another addition to this. in the original, katara being angry at sokka and waving her hands backwards revealed the ice sphere. it didn't unfroze aang. katara actively grabbed sokka's weapon and smashed the ice because she saw a kid inside. in the live-action, the ice sphere just opened up behind katara because she was trying to pull the boat in front of her.

I'm a big Katara stan and I really appreciated this comment

@@dire213 Thank you I was saying this since I saw the first time. Cuz it doesnt make any sense. In the OG, Katara had to physically broke the ice so Aang cant get out of it by himself. So here the ice sensed Katara's water bending or what? Now I can say why didnt the ice didnt break before I dont know like 10 years ago before the comet? He can have a lot more time to prepare. Also that ice is right out in the open not under the iceberg or anything just covered with them. So before all those ice no one saw that strange thing in the open? Even the set up is messed up by taking sexism aspect of Sokka. Also I dont buy that Katara did that unintentionally cuz she was focus on the boat in front of her so how did she make that ice break behind her? Is she that much of a great bender or incompetent LOL. Another thing is Sokka and Katara left Appa inside the ice so If Zuko went for glow then he couldve captured Appa LOL, just funny. Instead of that Zuko went for the village near them. If Zuko a normal person then he had to go for the glow.

except she does have the scroll in this version gran gran gave it to her before they left

I figure bend enough air and you can fly like that, but it's not easy to sustain, hence why they usually use gliders, and Guru Laghima's technique is different because it's more about turning the law of gravity into a suggestion than it is about controlling air currents.

@@battlesheep2552 guru laggima kids makes sense since because the air natuon is so spiritual compared to the other is why they're the only nation where everyone is a bender. Laghima took the spirituality to another level by detaching earthly tethers so it makes sense how come he could fly

Great comparison. Exposition is a pretty hard thing to nail, apparantly, but you hit that nail right on the head. Writing isn't about infodumping. It's about showing characters, showing the world and showing the stakes, conflicts, desires, wants, etc... of everybody and everything involved in order to attain emotional catharsis. The reason WHY infodumping doesn't work, EVER, is because entertaining writing is all about giving the audience an emotional connection. The writer can assume the audience is sentient and intelligent enough to understand the WHAT of the information being offered, but emotional resonance has nothing to do with intelligence, nor with the WHAT of the information being offered. It's all about the implications of that information for the characters involved and how we as an audience can step into their shoes for a brief moment. We, the audience, can assume that a sinking ship filled with thousands of people is a "bad" thing. We can understand that hypothesis morally, legally, statistically, scientifically, whatever you want. But understanding the implications of something in a dry, informative way is NOT the same thing as experiencing the sheer horror of the reality of that fact. When the camera moves to show a character's reaction, it's purpose is to show us the emotional responses of the characters themselves, in the hopes that we, the audience, can feel similar emotions. We are intelligent enough to understand that not every character behaves the same way, and seeing different reactions of different types of people is INHERENTLY entertaining. It shows us that perspective matters, that emotion is complex. It's engaging, thought-provoking, relatable, what have you... That's not to say that all exposition needs to happen within a room filled with different people. Not at all. But it DOES need characters reacting to it meaningfully. It needs to happen with a specific goal, it needs to drive the plot, the characters and the audience's emotional investment forward. This is why there is a general rule to never repeat earlier exposition, unless the repetition carries with it a new meaning. (For instance, in Attack on titan, the statement "I just keep moving forward", is exposition that happens multiple times, but each time, it carries with it different emotional resonance, different implications, and affects the plot in different ways. That is repetition of exposition done right, even if it's only very brief. And it is all the more powerful exactly BECAUSE it is brief.) The first episode of LAATLA failed in this regard because of a bad application of technique on multiple levels. The camerawork didn't particularly do anything special, or did it at the wrong moment (dutch angle example such as in the video), the exposition was offered to the audience and nobody else (appa does not understand, and therefore cannot react meaningfully. We can understand Aang needs to vent, but not in such a blatant "this is my character development" way. And venting usually happens more emotionally, not this calm and collected anyway.) Sozin killing the earth bender makes no sense after just delivering said earth bender the soul crushing information that he just doomed his own people. What's the point of giving him this information? An alternate manner of doing this could have been sozin killing the earth bender, then a soldier questioning whether the plans of the fire nation are ruined because the message got out (obviously not within earshot of the firelord.), then a senior officer telling him it's not his place to question the orders of superiors or to question the fire nation in general, and to trust that their leadership always has a plan for everything. Then show the 3 kingdoms sending their armies to the borders, only for them to never spot any fire nation soldiers. And only THEN do we cut to the fire nation revealing their masterplan, by treating the leaked message as a diversion. This achieves the desired effect of the air nomad genocide being both shocking and world-changing, for the audience (that the fans already know of it is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT. The cartoon needs to be treated as it if plainly does not exist, in order for your writing to work.) It also shows us military ranking in a short scene. It shows us that the fire nation is clever and will use underhanded tactics. It shows us Sozin's ruthlessness, it will show us the us that not all fire nation soldiers are blindly obedient, and that disobedience is dangerous. All of it with just a few lines of dialogue and a few cool scenes to show the scale of the world. I'm not saying this is the only way to do it, but I consider it much better than what we got instead. And lastly, the acting, I'm sorry to say it, is plain and simply very flat and emotionless. (whether due to direction or sheer inexperience of the actors themselves.) Only the older, clearly more experienced cast really showcased human emotions (except for gran gran. Jesus christ. They really did just pick up a random inuit grandma and called it a day.) This is important. If we can't see what characters are feeling, we can't imagine what they are thinking or if they are thinking at all. If katara barely smiles, doesn't get angry, is immediately on board with the avatar, whereas Sokka is constantly blaisé about EVERYTHING, including dying on a piece of ice in the middle of nowhere, the audience does not get any sense of emotional stakes. I know these are teenage actors, but that should be irrelevant. That would be nothing but a poor justification for this choice of medium, it doesn't take away that the acting remains poor. All of it simply leads us to the question "why is this remake even a thing? If the animation did everything better and conveys the message of the story in a much better fashion, what is the point of making a remake in the first place?" The answer, of course, is that normies love rehashed nostalgia. And fans are starving for content. This crap makes money, regardless of the quality.

It's a show for normies. They will never know what they're missing ever. It's a sad kind of bliss.

Most characters in this show talk like Hello. I am [Character]. I have [traits]. I am doing [goal] because [motivation]. I am here because [background].

Pretty sure the whole show of avatar takes place in a year... as aang was gone for 100 years and the commet comes every 100 years. So Katara became a waterbending master in at most 4 months.

@@flamingphoenix2464 Even less than a year technically. On the winter solstice, Roku says that the comet will arrive by summer's end, which I'm assuming to be the fall equinox because that's when summer officially ends and fall begins in our modern day understanding of seasons. The winter solstice and the fall equinox are about 9 months apart, so 9 months + a couple weeks that the gaang has already spent together by that point is how long the show lasts.

Laghima watching from the after life: this kid can fucking…. What! You can’t do that, you are still very much attached to Gyatso

I dont like what they did with letting Aang fly like that. Now that they have done it, they could salvage an interesting story beat from it. After becoming attached to the Gaang and the world, now that he's not immersed in Air Nomad culture, maybe he can't fly later in the show and they make an actual point of it? Sort of an additional beat on Aang not being able to let go of Katara to master the avatar state.

tbf if the next avatar was supposed to be an airbender and had disappeared for 100 yrs, I'd prolly assume my airbender friend who hasn't aged a day despite 100 yrs passing must be the avatar

maybe the other nations knew idk?

They Call him Lee Jr

Me with nearly all remakes especially ones made in the last 20 years.

I don't want to be too mean to this adaptation, but this genuinely sounded like a line from the nonexistent movie to me, especially because of the repeated words

And I actually don't even mind that. Because I do know the reveals, I did see the show. I don't need to see everything recreated. I was hoping for more new stuff. Like some of the Zuko-Iroh moments. Moments that add layers to the characters and story that I already know. They did deliver, here and there, but there could have been so much more. I think they believed they added dept with all the backstory and emotional talk. But almost all of it is just so flat. But there are some new moments, some moments to love.

it IS a netflix "show" afterall..

It would be super Rosh Hashana but point taken (Hannukah is a minor Jewish holiday that gets a publicity boost due to falling near Christmas)

thats not how airbending works...except for really powerful airbenders like the avatar. seriously, in the final fight we straight up see aang fly all over the place. and he hovers/floats pretty much every time he goes into the avatar state uncontrolled....specifically because of airbending. now i do agree with you that aang shouldn't be able to fly, but its not because that isn't how airbending works. its because he's not meant to be strong enough yet.

@@sillyking1991 Was just about to say that last part. Yeah, it's because Aang hadn't taken airbending that seriously before. Yeah he was good at it, but not "defeat the fire lord" good. And while he didn't have a specific air bending teacher, the audience can organically assume that by training the other elements, (plus perhaps a little spiritual, sozin comet shenanigans going on we don't know about) and achieving different perspectives and different mindsets and by experiencing the wider world in all it's chaotic complexity, Aang also learned to be even more in control of his airbending. One thing I'd like to say is that for the most part, Aang in fact doesn't straight up fly in the final fight with Ozai. He mostly pushes himself away from the giant pillars he's standing on through great gusts of wind. I do think it's only when he's in the avatar state that he straight up just floats in mid-air. But that's entirely acceptable to the audience. That's the avatar state. You don't fuck with the avatar state. It straight up breaks the laws of the world.

The whole show is a lost cause tbh. Even if they make it that far yes I agree with you, that moment won’t have any payoff if they’re too stupid to even to try to include it

I noticed that too. if we can assume they read it in zuko’s notebook or smth? Bc that’s why they went to kyoshi island. But still weird considering Aang knew pretty much nothing abt the avatar state until season 2 in the original. Just like aang’s backstory, they’re refraining from any mystery bc they assume the viewers know where everything’s going

If anything needed a revival to work out its problems, it was Korra.

Oh great, I can’t wait for 2 more seasons of melodramatic teenage love triangles.

@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343Exactly! Thank you!

Yes but he mentions it after saying to want to go home So even if saying that he never cared about his throne is false you still tell that Zuko cares way more about going back to his home more than anything.

I actually started re-watching the original series after watching this video and noticed it comes up in the third episode before Zuko challenges Zhao too. He says once he's captured the Avatar, he will regain his honour and take his rightful place as the heir to the throne. Honestly, I think it's just a retcon overall. Zuko's motivations definitely shift towards just wanting to go home, but he does mention taking his rightful place here and there in the early episodes. But the rest of the series isn't entirely consistent with the first few episodes of Book 1. But if you do wanna stretch, you could argue that Zuko is only saying that to Zhao to remind him of his status considering Zhao clearly has no respect for Zuko.

Also, Gyatso geting soloed by Sozin is another feature that made the live action world feel smaller. Can't have random soldiers killing Aang's master, look at this great villain they cannot use in present time anyway, wouldn't wanna waste that
