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

      I’m only two episodes in but if they had decided to have Suki travel with them for another episode I would’ve been a ok with it, she was real good. I realise it’s probably because she’s older than the core group.

    Good to know that live action is good. Honestly though, I will not be watching it. The animated show was too perfect for me to be replaced by anything. But, if you enjoy it, I am glad that you do.

      I’m 3 episodes in and so far the writing, acting, pacing, and overall storytelling are very shyamalanish. They hust have big hollywood VFX as a crutch to lean on

          I am glad that you liked the show. More people watching Avatar in any form, the better it is for everyone. My love for Avatar started with the movie, believe it or not. After watching the movie, I just had to know the whole story. It took a while for me to realize that it was an animated show before the movie.

    I’ve only watched the first episode so far and Sokka has been nailing it from his first line. No one else has blown me away yet.

    Hard agree. I was also blown away by how perfect the casting on Sokka is. I finished the series today and grew to like Aang, Katara and Zuko a lot more. The casting on Ozai and Iro are excellent too. There’s a lot of fan service, but it is done with so much joy and love I can’t be mad. Will happily watch the rest of the series if it gets made.

    I didn’t like him being such a negative person in the first two or three episodes, but then he got okay.

    Shame that they have so much time (since 8hrs is the runtime of what they wanted to cover in the animation) but they add in filler that didn’t really make sense, or they change up the characters in a story / the story itself.

      You know Sokka was negative in the original right? He went from “you can’t fight the fire nation with fun” to “This is your captain speaking…”

        I don’t think he was as big of a douche about it though? Maybe I remember he was played more for comic relief, and in the serious version of the story felt more mean.

    Honestly, Kiawentiio sold Katara for me. That’s a really difficult character, and I loved how she holds that inner reserve of strength that is Katara’s signature.

    honestly, the statement works for both the original and the new live action.

    or, at least, he was the most entertaining part of the original.
