"She doesn't look like katara, she doesn't look like Azula" how about you watch them acting instead of talking over it and looking at the camera when you're missing shots? Take it in before you react instead of pulling back just because of a "look". If you want 1:1 just rewatch the animation, bud.

Right 💀

Yes, it's good.

The interviews have me skeptical, but they haven't made me give up hope. At the very least it looks better than the movie (the characters seem to be pronouncing their names right), but that is a pretty low bar. I HOPE it does the original spirit of the show justice. I see a lot of people saying "If you want to see them remake the original just rewatch the original," but to me that's a stupid approach to this. When you look at anime franchises that did updated versions, like DBZ making DBKai, or Full Metal Alchemist doing FMA Brotherhood, you don't expect everything to be 1-for-1 identical, but you'd probably be pretty upset to find out that the Kai version of Vegeta was Mr Niceguy from his first appearance onward, or that the Brotherhood version of Alphonse Elric was just a kid in a suit of iron and not a disembodied soul. When it comes to the live action Avatar, we're expecting changes out of necessity like dropping some of the scenes that would be harder on the budget, or scenes that just don't work as well in live action as they do in a cartoon, but when you start talking about changing characters' personalities or removing arcs that developed those characters, that's when people start getting nervous, and when someone says that they're trying to capture an audience from a show that had no similarities to the cartoon you're remaking (the only similarity I know of between AtlA and Game of Thrones is the vague "high fantasy" genre), that's when people get nervous. Again, I'm willing to give it an honest chance, all of my apprehension is based on the words of people behind the scenes and words can be hollow or misinterpreted, a little change in ways that make sense is fine and welcome, but too much change will ruin it for me.

@Film_Quest

5 ай бұрын

I completely agree! This is spot on to how I feel as well. If there are too many changes it's going to ruin the immersion. It would make it harder to believe that the people I'm seeing on screen are Katara, Sokka, Aang, etc. Sure, we don't expect a perfect 1:1 adaptation, but calling it a "remix" and not a "cover" kinda worries me.

I'm a little hesitant about the writing, acting, and directing, considering the og creators left the progect. But I love the visuals. The casting the costumes the sets the animals and the bending look incredible. But I think zukos scsr could be a bit more detailed, and ozi should be kept in shadow or keep his face hidden to make him feel more mysterious and intimidating.

In case anyone's wondering, for instance, they change Sokka's character in the beginning to adjust "feminist/woke" standard. In the first book, Sokka is sexist. But he slowly learn his lesson. They change this scene, no sexist Sokka in the first book of live action. Sokka's comedy is also not aligned with the Original Series. Same with Aang

It's sickening

Much better than the trailer we got (the one that everyone loved and made people more excited for the show) They left the project because it was different, not because it was bad. Nothing they’ve said is necessarily bad. I can dig it. There’s some changes I don’t prefer but if it’s its own thing then it’s not bad. The MOVIE was bad. Now because we are paranoid about live action ATLA we decide to be picky about things that don’t actually make a show bad? I get that it won’t be our preference but just say that. Don’t spread this negative publicity that the show simply won’t be good. If that happens at least let it happen on its own without sabotage. Casual general audiences and newcomers will be introduced to this world and they won’t have the cartoon to compare to. So they might just love it.

@@Film_Quest Honestly, I don't think they need to be faithful anyways. It's a different series. I mean they're already faithful enough on the appearance and a lot of major story beats.. I think anything more precise than that is very nitpicky. The Last of Us was an anomaly. lol But most adaptations usually remix things to make it new in some form at least. I think as long as it's recognizable and similar I'll be happy. I have my nitpicks about minor things being changed as well but it won't make me worried for the show or anything. lol

These nitpicks are ridiculous. If you want to see these CARTOON characters the way you want them, watch the cartoon. I know it’s probably hard to wrap your head around this concept, but live action believe it or not, has limitations that animation does not. And if the creators of this live action show made them look 1 to 1 with the cartoon, you and a lot of other misinformed people would complain by saying it looks too much like cosplay. At least these characters look like real people. And the “bumi looks weird” comment just goes to show how ridiculous these things you say, are. You’re telling me Bumi from the cartoon didn’t look weird?

Antione Bandele Dupe

Well the of creators admitted that if they stayed the show would have been really bad. And they have officially said that. As for the whole “not being a happy kid” well y’all just saw for yourselves, and for Sokka’s sexism, they are NOT cutting it out of the show. They are only dialing it down to make his growth more realistic and believable for something like this in live action.
