Just finished watching it and I thought it was quite bad. So much "tell don't show" going on. Aang literally explained his characters traits in a monologue ... just seems like they spoon feed you a lot of the information instead of actually setting up the characters. They do a lot of fan service .. if you can call it that. They shoehorned the old intro into an entire scene .. word for word. And they did Iroh bad .... he sounds as stupid as Yoda from the prequels.
I guess it can only get better from here .... but my low expectations were underwhelmed.
Yer a lot of that is fair however I think there just trying to cram in as much as they can, trying to cherry pick the best parts to put on show and force what's left of it down into any little cracks that are left. but there's only 2 things to compare it to that's the OG which it was never going to be, and that thing the doesn't exist by the same name. And we all know how that went...
