Just finished the first episode, it's different, I feel like I messed it up for myself for rewatching the og one only a few weeks ago and having that fresh in my head, how ever I am a fan.

This is exactly where I'm at too.

They wasted tons of time showing us battles between people who don't matter just so they could work in a gratuitously long genocide as early as possible. And that means there's no time to develop Aang's character or relationships. So we just get wooden actors staring at the camera and saying "You are a kind and generous character. We are friends". If they had put the characters first and trusted that the audience will care about these people without CGI battles, when they did get around to showing scenes of emotional turmoil and conflict it would have been way more impactful.
