Netflix have announced that they will be doing season 2 and 3 of Avatar.

We are all aware of the creative choices they made, and that some of them didn't really add much positively compared to the original. Are there ones you ended up liking?

Didn't watch it yet, as I'm only 2 episodes in and Idon't want to taint my first view too much.

But from what I've seen of the show, I understand how they reach this conclusion. And Jessie Gender usually has quite a good grasp on these things.

Edit: Kind reminder that this post is for sharing/discussing the video, not for dunking on the Netflix adaptation.

Edit2: Watched it now. Spoilers for the first 2 episodes and light spoilers for the rest of the live action show, season 1.

There. I said it out loud.

Just finished watching the live action and i absolutely loved it. This is best in quality and Albert Kim (program creator) proved he’s a fan. This show got everything and felt bit of rushed from the cartoon. But they beautifully condensed the story we saw on 20 episodes into 8 episodes. Gordon Cormier portrayed Aang so well. I felt him like Aang because he had the responsibility(convince the fans) to carry out this role at this young age. This show doesn’t have fun elements as like in animation, but it felts so realistic to the new audience. Hopefully this series could bring more viewers to the original series. There are many sequences which are only on the book are shown and it makes more sense to the story. Netflix should bring the next season soon before the cast gets more old. I know the creators of this show left Netflix due to creative differences, but Netflix did a good job.

I'm 5 episodes in and Everytime Sokka is on the screen, I enjoyed it

Honestly the core cast is pretty good; needs more Appa

Edit Episode 7: wait this show is low key good

Watched half of the show and its really good. I saw some reviews of good and bad about this series, but from what I experience is kinda fresh and nostalgic. I finished rewatch of ATLA and TLOK only a couple of months ago, and this live series gimme a very good vibe of the cartoon. The quality is good and explored much than on cartoon. The pace is good and it doesn’t feel rushed like the movie. Nothing to spoil but i could say the characters are portrayed as they were we enjoyed by the cast. I honestly recommend everyone to experience how it was in real life.
