The Netflix live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender seems to completely misunderstand the themes of the original animated series. ✔ SUPPORT ✔▶Pa...

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.

    I’ve watched it and thought it was the best Netflix adaptation, for watchability. I don’t think it was a good avatar show. The playfulness is completely absent. Dialog is ok but often is not earned. Anything that would slightly hit, is hammered into the ground and then becomes tedious.
