Netflix’s live-action Avatar has its heart in the right place, but its pacing and uneven performances leave a lot to be desired.

Me and my family like it. They grew up with the original and didn't know a live action was in the works until I started it up yesterday.

We also liked Netflix's Cowboy Bebop but all the neckbeards managed to cancel it fast.

Yeah I liked bebop, and one piece, and this too. The only note I would have on this is regarding iroh. It seems like the actor is playing him 100% sober, so we lose a bit of the iroh charm I think.

I really really like Paul Sun-Hyung Lee. He was amazing in Kims convenience. In my opinion he does a pretty good Iroh. Overall the cast is very good Zuko, Sokka are pretty spot on. I'm not a die hard fan of avatar. But I liked the cartoon and enjoy the show. I don't get the hate. I mean after watching uncharted...

Oh yeah, he was great as Iroh, that was only the littlest of gripes. And maybe 2 days after I posted that I read that the director told him to not match the voice
