I'm surprised you like Kyoshi, considering what they destroyed to do it. First and foremost, they took Aang's avatar demonstration, something every one of them has, his "force of nature" sphere, and gave it to Kyoshi. Thus, when he presumably does it in season 3 (if there is one), it'll be a ripoff of Kyoshi, not something of his own creation. Second, they've literally ripped away all of Roku's story. Roku is Aang's primary guide, and not just because he was the previous and that's basically the tradition. It's also bad because the world Aang inherits is DIRECTLY Roku's fault. He was lax in his duties as Avatar, letting Sozin amass power under his watch, and eventually leading to his betrayal at the hands of Sozin when defending from the volcano. It destroys the symbolism, and ruins their story. Yes, Aang did contact and get advice from many Avatars, including Kyoshi, but none of them were his guide like Roku. Third... The show is taking away so much from male characters. Aang loses his drive and guilt, Zuko loses his obsession with honor as his driving force, Sokka loses practically all his masculinity (he's no longer really obsessed about being a warrior), Iroh loses his pacifism and ends up being far too violent, Ozai loses his cruel malice that drives EVERYBODY on their journey, and Roku loses his role as guide and his chance at a redemption of sorts for his failings as Avatar. Taking all this away causes the show to basically fracture and fall apart. Yes, the female characters lose a lot, too, like Katara losing her motherly attitude, and her anger, but a LOT more male characters were damaged in this than female characters. I don't think they can fix it going forward. There's too much damage, too many fractures and character changes. Too much deviation from character journeys and world-building.
@TurtleKunАй бұрын
Maybe I worded it poorly, I did find the inclusion of Kyoshi and Kuruk to be positive because we got to see a larger variation in the previous avatars, this does not however mean I actually liked the way they were used. Both Kyoshi and Kuruk make the show worse than the original for multiple reasons, like you outline! I would have much preferred they either completely removed Roku's scene and introduce him in a later season and give Kyoshi more of an impact, or just not have given her any extra screen time. And honestly at this point I'd preferred if the show just was never made 😅 When it comes to more male characters being ruined I'll just say that there are more male characters in general, had their been an equal amount of women and men they'd all been ruined. Kyoshis inclusion has nothing to do with this, it's just that the show is bad in comparison to the original.

I'm in the same boat about not fully vibing with Dark Souls Remastered. I chose to play Dark Souls 2 first, (feeling a kinship with it as the least popular one, hah) and I really like a few quality of life things they did, that I think you might like too - it has warping from the start, like DS3 and ER. DS Remastered made my thumbs and brain exhausted from all the runbacks. In Dark Souls 2, there is a hidden counter on each basic enemy - after defeat, they can only revive a max of 12 times. Some people think of it as a pity timer or a stain on their 'gamer cred' if they get an empty room, but I LOVED being able to render whole areas of DS2 completely harmless, to just run thru and enjoy the scenery. The boss-runbacks are MUCH more manageable without stray arrow damage. AND there's an in-game option to turn enemies back on, too. That was a choice that fit me personally really well. I think you might like DS2 for that reason, as I did. I felt so much more like I had truly conquered the threats in the world - the area was empty of enemies, the same way my laundry hamper is empty of clothes when they are all put away! DS2 is better played with knowledge of a FEW spoilers, which make no sense out of context - Level ADP, Burn the Windmill, and play offline. (Other players can invade you even if you are hollow, which is very unfun, imo.) Everything else that's confusing can be found with a guide, but most people won't warn you about playing offline. I just really like the game, and I wish more people would give it a chance to shine in its own unique way - almost everyone who plays DS1 first will like DS2 less, and vice-versa. I'm not sure how someone who loves Sekiro and Lies of P will find it, in terms of combat. It might be too ponderous, there IS a ton of variation, stuff even I at 500 hours haven't seen! I just wanted to share, since I love that game the way you love Lies of P :) PS - From one anxiety-riddled, stressed, hard-on-myself gamer to another - Don't be afraid to install mods! Life's too short to be upset with our entertainment, and blaming ourselves for not being good enough at it. A good analogy - I can't read Chinese. So if I want to experience 'Journey to the West' or 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' I'll have to read a translation of it. That's what mods are - other people's help and effort that you use, to get you thru to the end, which is, seeing the whole story. It doesn't have to be Exactly Like The Original - that's why we have GRADES in school instead of everything being pass-fail, and pass being set at 100% correct! 98% is still really good, and anyone who wants to mock you up for that little imperfection is NOT to be listened to! Not even your own brain. Not an easy thing to do, I admit. It's something that comes with time, and practice. Telling the mean voice in your own head that its input is not valuable and you won't follow it... Really freeing, tho!

The thing about OG Katara is by the time she gets to the Northern Water Tribe; you've seen how hard she has worked on her bending. You also see that she is a deeply passionate person that can be hardheaded and stubborn. She has a fire to her, and her trigger is being belittled. When she is fighting Paku you get mad with her, when Paku is belittling her you feel offended for her. Something that unfortunately the live action is lacking because we don't get enough time with the characters and their personalities are unfortunately watered down to the point that when they get their big moments they just fall flat. The great thing about OG Zhao is that he is calm, cool, collected, calculating, strategic... you almost feel like he is 2 steps ahead. He is an intimidating presence, but his trigger is his ego. The reason why in the deserter he fires at Aang not thinking about the fact that he just burned down his own ships is because he lost control. By that point Aang had gotten the better of him over and over again and his ego was bruised, so when Aang was taunting him, he attacked out of frustration not thinking about any potential consequences. The live action Zhao came off almost like he was a sniveling corporate guy that was willing to throw people under the buss for a promotion. I understand the direction they tried to take his character, but I unfortunately felt disappointed with the execution

So true about Katara! It really felt like they failed her the entire way and the cathartic end of her arc in season one was turned in to a boring fight!

Meanwhile Zuko spares Zhaos life, refuses to fight his own father, and takes the hit to protect Katara; all considered very honorable actions.

Thank you, everyone else online seems to be unable to understand why Iroh is such a problem here. I haven't directly watched the show, but I've seen so many clips I've got a pretty good idea of what they did to him. They removed his strong morals and pacifism that he gained after his son's death in a battle he ran. He kills so easily, encourages Zuko to ignore his conscience by forcing him to hire June, acts embarrassed by his affection for Zuko, and generally is more like Zuko in Book 1 of the cartoon than Zuko is like Zuko. The only way Iroh isn't like Book 1 Zuko is that he isn't prone to yell as much. It's like they sped up Zuko'a character and dialed back Iroh's to an earlier state. Now Iroh actually has more room to grow than Zuko. What is the point of having Iroh here at all?

For me, Iroh felt too on-the-nose and they made it very obvious that iroh was on the good side. In the original, iroh was more mysterious and nuanced until his view became more obvious in season 2. It’s similar to how they won’t make zuko fully a villain. Aang saying “you couldn’t have always been this way” feels out of place, since zuko hasn’t earned that perspective from Aang. And I can’t fathom why they’d make iroh kill zhao instead the perfect poetic justice of the ocean spirit killing zhao for murdering the moon.

Aang’s line delivery while he talks (for a good portion of the scenes) with Koh are deliberately monotone and his face is expressionless. That leads me to think they shot the scenes planning to stick to the original idea, but then changed it later and just never re-shot those moments. Which is a shame because you can tell the potential it had and how it wanted to hold true to the OG.

First of, thanks for watching! Here's a few things I would like to add after finishing the video! 1. I saw some stuff about Ian Ousley on twitter, I'm not an expert, I can't speak out on behalf of anyone else so keep any comments civilised. 2. It's okay if you don't agree with me, these are just my thoughts and opinions and its okay to think differently! 3. I forgot to make this clear in the video itself but it's okay for an adaptation to change things from the original if it serves a purpose, but if your changes make the overall narrative worse I believe its fair to call it out. 4. If I pronounce any names weird I blame that I'm swedish...

I think you spoke a lot but didn’t say anything… the production quality of the video was great but you simply presented a categorization index. You didn’t present any unique anecdotes or opinions, or analysis of a certain method or compared what works better or how it works… etc. There wasn’t any substance in the video

Fair, I think I'm very observational in that sense in a lot of ways, I like to say what I see without a lot of further analysis. I like to think I get better at it with time and that my more recent videos are better! If you enjoyed the production quality try one of my more recent videos for better analysis!

@@McCammalot damn if I still had a VHS I'd be happy 😅😂
the reason Iroh didn’t sang Leaves from the Vine is because he wanted to pay respects to Iroh’s first voice actor Mako Iwamatsu he didn’t want to mock his song so he didn’t want to sing it
@@PaulEli_GamingYT that's the actor yes, but someone else put the song in! I don't blame the actor one bit, but the director and producers are to blame for such a, for me, disappointing usage!
When every jump and landing is completely silent and moving stone blocks slide across the ground with no sound, no particle effects, and no screen shake, the game's immersion is broken.

Have you ever compared the adaptations of "Mo Dao Zu Shi"?
@@ThePrincessCH I've never heard of "Mo Dao Zu Shi" before so I haven't compared any of the adaptations... Most likely won't either but you never know! Thanks for watching!
Why are people making video essays saying this adpatation is bad even though it was well-received by fans and is getting two new seasons. stop hating this and make a positive video pn it please!
As a huge fan of the original I'm very disappointed in the adaptation, but this is just an opinion piece after all. It's okay if you liked it and I hope we can enjoy season 2 and 3. As to why we're making negative videos, maybe watch one and you'll hear our opinions and thoughts 😅
@@TurtleKun I watched them, and you misunderstood what made this adaptation perfect. everyone else on the internet likes this show, and these video esssays are BORING!!
@@DisneyGirl2004 hey feel free to make a video explaining what we all get wrong! I'd love to hear your thoughts! It's just a personal opinion at the end of the day and I'm happy you enjoyed the show! 😁
We make videos because we care about the original show. If you can't see that I'm not sure why you bothered watching this at all
@@cinderblockstudios It's because most people loved this new show from what i see. It has a 7.2/10 on IMDB and 76% from audiences on RT. you guys just want a 1:1 adaptation which is impossible..
I'm surprised you like Kyoshi, considering what they destroyed to do it. First and foremost, they took Aang's avatar demonstration, something every one of them has, his "force of nature" sphere, and gave it to Kyoshi. Thus, when he presumably does it in season 3 (if there is one), it'll be a ripoff of Kyoshi, not something of his own creation. Second, they've literally ripped away all of Roku's story. Roku is Aang's primary guide, and not just because he was the previous and that's basically the tradition. It's also bad because the world Aang inherits is DIRECTLY Roku's fault. He was lax in his duties as Avatar, letting Sozin amass power under his watch, and eventually leading to his betrayal at the hands of Sozin when defending from the volcano. It destroys the symbolism, and ruins their story. Yes, Aang did contact and get advice from many Avatars, including Kyoshi, but none of them were his guide like Roku. Third... The show is taking away so much from male characters. Aang loses his drive and guilt, Zuko loses his obsession with honor as his driving force, Sokka loses practically all his masculinity (he's no longer really obsessed about being a warrior), Iroh loses his pacifism and ends up being far too violent, Ozai loses his cruel malice that drives EVERYBODY on their journey, and Roku loses his role as guide and his chance at a redemption of sorts for his failings as Avatar. Taking all this away causes the show to basically fracture and fall apart. Yes, the female characters lose a lot, too, like Katara losing her motherly attitude, and her anger, but a LOT more male characters were damaged in this than female characters. I don't think they can fix it going forward. There's too much damage, too many fractures and character changes. Too much deviation from character journeys and world-building.
Maybe I worded it poorly, I did find the inclusion of Kyoshi and Kuruk to be positive because we got to see a larger variation in the previous avatars, this does not however mean I actually liked the way they were used. Both Kyoshi and Kuruk make the show worse than the original for multiple reasons, like you outline! I would have much preferred they either completely removed Roku's scene and introduce him in a later season and give Kyoshi more of an impact, or just not have given her any extra screen time. And honestly at this point I'd preferred if the show just was never made 😅 When it comes to more male characters being ruined I'll just say that there are more male characters in general, had their been an equal amount of women and men they'd all been ruined. Kyoshis inclusion has nothing to do with this, it's just that the show is bad in comparison to the original.
Thanks for sending me here to your other channel. ❤
No worries! I hope you enjoy the video essays! I spend a lot more time working on these videos than the shorts 😂 And thank you for taking the time! It means a lot!
I'm in the same boat about not fully vibing with Dark Souls Remastered. I chose to play Dark Souls 2 first, (feeling a kinship with it as the least popular one, hah) and I really like a few quality of life things they did, that I think you might like too - it has warping from the start, like DS3 and ER. DS Remastered made my thumbs and brain exhausted from all the runbacks. In Dark Souls 2, there is a hidden counter on each basic enemy - after defeat, they can only revive a max of 12 times. Some people think of it as a pity timer or a stain on their 'gamer cred' if they get an empty room, but I LOVED being able to render whole areas of DS2 completely harmless, to just run thru and enjoy the scenery. The boss-runbacks are MUCH more manageable without stray arrow damage. AND there's an in-game option to turn enemies back on, too. That was a choice that fit me personally really well. I think you might like DS2 for that reason, as I did. I felt so much more like I had truly conquered the threats in the world - the area was empty of enemies, the same way my laundry hamper is empty of clothes when they are all put away! DS2 is better played with knowledge of a FEW spoilers, which make no sense out of context - Level ADP, Burn the Windmill, and play offline. (Other players can invade you even if you are hollow, which is very unfun, imo.) Everything else that's confusing can be found with a guide, but most people won't warn you about playing offline. I just really like the game, and I wish more people would give it a chance to shine in its own unique way - almost everyone who plays DS1 first will like DS2 less, and vice-versa. I'm not sure how someone who loves Sekiro and Lies of P will find it, in terms of combat. It might be too ponderous, there IS a ton of variation, stuff even I at 500 hours haven't seen! I just wanted to share, since I love that game the way you love Lies of P :) PS - From one anxiety-riddled, stressed, hard-on-myself gamer to another - Don't be afraid to install mods! Life's too short to be upset with our entertainment, and blaming ourselves for not being good enough at it. A good analogy - I can't read Chinese. So if I want to experience 'Journey to the West' or 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' I'll have to read a translation of it. That's what mods are - other people's help and effort that you use, to get you thru to the end, which is, seeing the whole story. It doesn't have to be Exactly Like The Original - that's why we have GRADES in school instead of everything being pass-fail, and pass being set at 100% correct! 98% is still really good, and anyone who wants to mock you up for that little imperfection is NOT to be listened to! Not even your own brain. Not an easy thing to do, I admit. It's something that comes with time, and practice. Telling the mean voice in your own head that its input is not valuable and you won't follow it... Really freeing, tho!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I guess I gotta check out DS2 now 😂 I've always heard people like it less but maybe I'll like it as you said! I'm always trying to work on myself, I've gotten a lot better at being present around people and feel less bothersome. It's a journey for sure, and it feels good not feeling alone with the struggles! Truly thank you for watching, it means a lot!
I figured out by the end of it - you take OFF the glasses when talking about yourself, and you put them ON when talking about the games! That must have been in the script, it took me a while to figure out exactly what it meant, but I knew it was intentional! What an excellent detail.
Thank you, as I was recording I did it sort of to make the personal parts be more personal. Honestly it's not in the script but I did have the thought in mind from the moment I started using the glasses in the game 😂
this video is produced like you had thousands of subscribers and im honestly surprised you dont, your courage to get on here and talk about your life in relation to this amazing game series is unreal. I am hoping that this whole career can work out for you because you deserve this more than most people. I am happy this video was on my home page, im glad to be here as you grow.

gosh. this video hits very close to home, resonating with me very *very* deeply. the positive and negative aspects. all the way. might be a little mushy but the more i get to experience you and your streams/videos the more i feel the genuine nature of you. i might be mistaken and that's not what it is at all - and of course - the goes both ways. but you're great and cool, in my opinion

As a person with a lot of similar anxieties of my own, I appreciate how you were able to discuss it in relation to your analysis. I’m a bit older than you, and I’m impressed, because I wouldnt have been able to put words to it as well as you did when I was at that point in my life
Cheers man, all I can hope for is to explain myself as clearly as possible! And on one hand I think it sucks that people can relate while at the same time its a comfort knowing in not alone 😅
@@TurtleKunI agree
First off, thanks for watching, this is just as much an opinion piece as its a therapy session. I hope you either can relate or at least understand how i feel about some soulslikes and Lies of P!
Turning Hei Bai into a generic Rawr Scary CGI Snarling Beast with no resolution is what bothers me the most. I haaaaaaaate Hollywood/western TV and film and general with how they present animals or anything animal-adjacent. Everything is just roaring, snarling, mindless, and an obstacle to be destroyed. Or if it's a cute animal, it's a comedy prop. Ugh.
Yeah Hei Bai was incredibly poorly handled, what is even the point of including them if you're not actually gonna resolve the storyline?!
I have to disagree about the funeral scene. It’s my favorite in the whole show. Perhaps it’s because I love the show so much, but it was one of the most touching I’ve seen
That's completely understandable, it does strengthen the bond between Iroh and Zuko! Once again I personally don't see how it adds to any of the characters but maybe I'm affected by my relationship to the original show! Either way I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and I hope you enjoyed it!😊
@@TurtleKun No, you're right. For people who weren't already familiar with the Iroh's grief after losing his son, it did nothing. I'd only seen the first season before watching the Netflix show and I felt nothing, literally nothing (except a little cringe over how sentimental they made Zuko - I know he was always good at heart, even compassionate, but Zuko as a sweet, emotionally supportive boy? No).
I have to agree with you
The thing about OG Katara is by the time she gets to the Northern Water Tribe; you've seen how hard she has worked on her bending. You also see that she is a deeply passionate person that can be hardheaded and stubborn. She has a fire to her, and her trigger is being belittled. When she is fighting Paku you get mad with her, when Paku is belittling her you feel offended for her. Something that unfortunately the live action is lacking because we don't get enough time with the characters and their personalities are unfortunately watered down to the point that when they get their big moments they just fall flat. The great thing about OG Zhao is that he is calm, cool, collected, calculating, strategic... you almost feel like he is 2 steps ahead. He is an intimidating presence, but his trigger is his ego. The reason why in the deserter he fires at Aang not thinking about the fact that he just burned down his own ships is because he lost control. By that point Aang had gotten the better of him over and over again and his ego was bruised, so when Aang was taunting him, he attacked out of frustration not thinking about any potential consequences. The live action Zhao came off almost like he was a sniveling corporate guy that was willing to throw people under the buss for a promotion. I understand the direction they tried to take his character, but I unfortunately felt disappointed with the execution
So true about Katara! It really felt like they failed her the entire way and the cathartic end of her arc in season one was turned in to a boring fight! The thing about Zhao, at least to me, is that he feels quite human! The performance includes both his calculated side and his ego although it's not as well explored since key scenes are removed. But I really like how he feels like a real human who would, just like you said, throw someone else under the buss to get that promotion! Thanks for watchingand the thoughtful comment! It means a lot!
@@TurtleKun I do definitely understand that he felt human. I do understand the decisions made to make him that way. I am just personally disappointed because I always viewed him as a greater threat in the cartoon. I do also understand it doesn't change a whole lot about what had happened in the overall narrative. It just personally felt like a totally different person altogether. Some people liked the change and some didn't I personally liked the cartoon Zhao better. But that's my own preference
@@shaneware7356 yeah that's completely understandable! I honestly prefer cartoon Zhao too! But I also don't think it would be possible to make him exactly the same in live action and have the same vibe. And weirdly enough I never really saw him as that much of a threat, maybe because Zuko beats him in the Agni Kai 🤷♂️
@@TurtleKun Admittedly, I could be slightly biased against Zhao because he and Zuko never had an Agni Kai. Throughout the OG show we as an audience got to see 3 Agni Kais. Zhao, Ozai, and Azula; all vs Zuko. Zhao attacks and opponent when his back is turned (very dishonorable), Ozai attacks an opponent who is refusing to fight back (very dishonorable), Azula attacks a bystander (again very dishonorable). Meanwhile Zuko spares Zhaos life, refuses to fight his own father, and takes the hit to protect Katara; all considered very honorable actions. All this to say it was a fantastic way for the OG creators to show how far the Fire Nation has fallen and how corrupt their idea of Honor had become. Beautiful subtle storytelling
@@shaneware7356 yeah, that topic deserves an entire video of it's own ngl, but I ain't the one to do it sadly 😅 but the original is so incredibly well made and thought out it's insane!
Im just glad months I'm im not the only one with major problems with this show.. when reaction channels first started watching. They were all in love with heart eyes. And I was so confused and felt so gaslit 😂 Cause I felt like I was the only one who hated it. Literally I was so bored. I love long multi hour content. But half way through each episode I was both angry, and so bored I wanted it to be over. Also, I definitely cant agree with Zhao. He felt like a lost.. frat boy who was trying to be cool and just couldnt pull it off And I would have enjoyed Kyoshi a lot more if she hadn't basically taken over for Roki. And was... Honestly? Kind of an ass to aang for not reaosn? And, I just cant with thr superhero landing.. its avatar, not Avengers.. As to luten's funeral. Even having the background knowledge. Even knoeing other versions of these chsracters. I felt absolutely nothing. A lot ofnproplr say it was one od thr better oarts of the show. And while it mught be... One od the more well eritten parts, for hoe bad the writing is. I honestly dont think it fits at all for the reasons you said. We dont know these people.. there's a reason we dont get mych sbout luten until later seasons.. we need go actually.. becomr attached to these characters. And i was so angry, that i didnt even notice leaves from the vine playing in the background. I disnt realize it until it was brought up in a video I was watching. Then I was angry about that too 😂
Even MCU made fun of superhero landing, like, 3 years ago.
Well thought out video and you're totally right about how incredible all the characters are. I only disagree with you on one point, when you unilaterally declare no one would ever travel without Shadowheart - that depends on the person, really. My first playthrough I was a cleric myself and thus never took her with me. I was aware you can change their classes but I loved other companions so much I didn't personally miss her and only really ever had her for the Shar temple and things related to her quest. She's a great character, yes, but not better than like Karlach impo. :)
Thank you! Happy you liked it! When i say everyone will travel with Shadowheart I only meant that she's the only one you can't "miss" as the game forces her to your camp if you don't interact with her 😅 and I totally agree that Karlach is best gril!
Thank you, everyone else online seems to be unable to understand why Iroh is such a problem here. I haven't directly watched the show, but I've seen so many clips I've got a pretty good idea of what they did to him. They removed his strong morals and pacifism that he gained after his son's death in a battle he ran. He kills so easily, encourages Zuko to ignore his conscience by forcing him to hire June, acts embarrassed by his affection for Zuko, and generally is more like Zuko in Book 1 of the cartoon than Zuko is like Zuko. The only way Iroh isn't like Book 1 Zuko is that he isn't prone to yell as much. It's like they sped up Zuko'a character and dialed back Iroh's to an earlier state. Now Iroh actually has more room to grow than Zuko. What is the point of having Iroh here at all?
Exactly its so disappointing so the see such bad changes. Dare i say, disrespectful? Thanks for watching it means a lot!
this is such a good explanation and it baffles me that people still consider live action iroh to be a good depiction of him. he's nothing like iroh, but when it comes to people discussing which cast members portrayed the characters best, people will list iroh even though he's a clear far cry from the original and doesn't hold any of the same values or philosophies let alone the same character.
Temu Katara should have faced Koh
At least she wouldn't have shown any emotion 😅
Hollywood is clearly in bad shape when comes to it’s screen writers because any screen writer that’s outside of Hollywood woild’ve just simple know better. A writer from France, Italy, or Uk would have run circles around this.
Straight up. Would have been awsome to see some asian influence in the writing style because of obvious reasons! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it a lot!
I’m thankful for your perspective of Iroh!!! No one else has seemed to mention any critique of his portrayal, while I was thrown off. For me, Iroh felt too on-the-nose and they made it very obvious that iroh was on the good side. In the original, iroh was more mysterious and nuanced until his view became more obvious in season 2. It’s similar to how they won’t make zuko fully a villain. Aang saying “you couldn’t have always been this way” feels out of place, since zuko hasn’t earned that perspective from Aang. And I can’t fathom why they’d make iroh kill zhao instead the perfect poetic justice of the ocean spirit killing zhao for murdering the moon.
I couldn't have said it better myself! I'm really dissapointed in the way Iroh was portrayed. I guess all we can do is wait and see what becomes of him and Zuko in seasons 2 and 3... Thanks for watching it means a lot!
11:23 this scene is hilarious, Katara basically tries to waterbend using her expression.
at least her face moved
Yawn...it was great. Sorry you didnt like it but Im excited for seasons 2 and 3. Bye. Thanks.
I'm happy you were able to enjoy it! Honestly I'll probably end up watching season 2 and 3 as well and still be as mad 😅 I appreciate you watching tho! That means a lot!
Yawn to you too 😊
@@jackieroberts2625 lol..back at yah
I'm glad to not be the only person that was upset by the use of Leaves from the Vine. Once I saw that scene and heard that music I knew that this live action version would never be anything more than just a show. What interest me most about the show is how non-fans of the original would react. I ended up showing a friend the live action, since they never knew about the original. They couldn't stomach past episode 2. We are now going through the whole original and they can't get enough.
I'm happy even those with no relation to the original can tell Netflix's adaptation is not on the same level. And good on you for getting them on the original! Thanks for watching!
I was so mad at how much was changed and how different it felt. And how stupid everyone was. That I didn't even notice leave from the vine 😂 which was probably for the best tbh. I didn't know it was in there until people finally started coming out with content challenging all of the "I love this it's amazing" bs
Soon as they started mixing up different episodes from the cartoon I dipped coz I knew it was gonna be a mess
Yeah it felt rushed and the world feels smaller because of it. A real shame! Thanks for watching!
Coold video, nice points, but i got your video in recommendations just because i absorbed all other videos on this topic, so it feels kinda lackluster
Haha yeah I get that. Like I said I'm quite inspired by a lot of the videos already out... Guess that's the issue with being slow 😅 Thanks for watching tho, appreciate the honest thought!
@@TurtleKun still subscribed tho, maybe i will watch your videos on the next topics before another's, delivery feels good
@@triksters24 thank you that means a lot. I don't usually make videos about current media so hopefully it shouldn't matter!
14:20 i gotta say that i remember rooting for both zuko and aang in the original show. otherwise i agree with your points. good video and great editing
That's understandable, maybe I was just to young my first times watching the show but I thought he was scary! Now after having watched season 2 and 3 many times I do kinda root for him to some degree, but I still don't want him to capture Aang! Thanks for watching it means a lot!
@@TurtleKun I didnt watch the Original run of it (bcs i was 5 at the time) i first watched it when i was 11. And it wasn't a rooting for zuko in a way of "YEAH GO CAPTURE THE AVATAR" But more in the way of " Show zhao who's boss and Find a new way to regain your honor!" Because i think even in the first couple of episodes they manage to make him seem like a good guy, that was forced to do something he didnt want to. Its that kinda sympathy
not any played roll
You made very good points to be honest, I’m glad to be a new subscriber now
Thank you so much, i appreciate that a lot!
I haven't watched yet because I can't be bothered to pay for Netflix, although I had considered getting it for a month just to see it. But after watching your review I definitely wont be watching and this show will go the way of that movie that doesn't exist. Some of the things you talk about I could probably look past but their use of "Leaves from the Vine" is absolutely disgusting and infuriating! Excellent video, thank you for such an honest review!
Thank you so much, I've been a bit frustrated with other reviewers claiming that scene with "leaves from the vine" being a good addition. All I can say is ju go rewatch the original 😂
@@TurtleKun I rewatched the original recently for the first time since my son was born and I was a total mess for a good hour. Knowing they used the song in a scene without the same emotional resonance is extremely upsetting.
@@spacemanc8932 yeah, I ended up weeping while editing watching the tale of Iroh! It so sad to see it be thrown in this way!

@@TurtleKun And thank you for answering comments, means a lot to me too. And yes, thank you for your video
Okay I can't stad Ozai in this. He is not the same person as the guy who said "Azula was born lucky, while I was lucky to be born."
Exactly! He had a huge presence despite going faceless for half the originals runtime! Such a shame too since he's one of the best antagonists in media imo!
The fact they show him in book 1 blows my mind
If you're going to make Ozai more than a cartoon supervillian,make him a walking red flag of emotional abuse,gaslighting and everything the real monsters do.
@@berengustav7714 like telling your son you were lucky to be born? Like Ozai isn't cartoony in the slightest up untill like Soakka taunted him after he lost his bending abilities.
I couldn't pass 2nd episode, was too cringe tbh.
Honestly understandable! I just had to know how badly they fumbled the bag 😂
I DIDN'T ENJOY THE MOVIE VERSION. THE ORIGINAL WAS 100%
Saw the movie in theaters as a kid and even then I knew it was bad! Very dissapointing seeing a masterpiece ruined like that! Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness gracious! I knew it wasn't great but I had no idea it was... I dont wanna say 'bad' but its.. Its confusing how they managed to be okay with putting this out there because it doesn't take a genius to recognize the good and bad of what was and what is
So true! I'm no writer but even I can see the glaring mistakes which just ruins the experience! Thanks so much for watching, it means a lot!
20:06 LOL dude Koh still freaks me out to this day. Just goes to show how well written he was.
Straight up, he is so creepy I can't even describe it 😅 thanks for watching!
I (somehow) managed to watch up to that episode in the live action, and what I noticed was that it looks like they initially DID try to keep the emotionlessness as part of the lore. Aang’s line delivery while he talks (for a good portion of the scenes) with Koh are deliberately monotone and his face is expressionless. That leads me to think they shot the scenes planning to stick to the original idea, but then changed it later and just never re-shot those moments. Which is a shame because you can tell the potential it had and how it wanted to hold true to the OG. (Like I said, watch that interaction again and you’ll notice that it’s only at the end where Aang starts to get expressive.)
27:34 literally my thoughts
Yes haha, YES (I have been waiting for this)
Hope it lives up to expectations!

Thank you so much!
I think you spoke a lot but didn’t say anything… the production quality of the video was great but you simply presented a categorization index. You didn’t present any unique anecdotes or opinions, or analysis of a certain method or compared what works better or how it works… etc. There wasn’t any substance in the video
Fair, I think I'm very observational in that sense in a lot of ways, I like to say what I see without a lot of further analysis. I like to think I get better at it with time and that my more recent videos are better! If you enjoyed the production quality try one of my more recent videos for better analysis! Thanks for the feedback and watching!
Really solid analysis!
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Awesome video. More people should talk about this subject in video games.
Thank you so much! Yeah its a very interesting topic to me and i would love to hear others opinion! And thank you for watching, it means a lot!
I've been beating this drum to my friends, These characters are so well written, acted, and animated that after I end one campaign I'm immediately drawn to starting another with a different romance. Over 500 hours of playtime so far but I expect to hit well over 1k
Yeah it's so easy to just keep playing! And if you have friends to play with a multiplayer campaign is awesome! Thanks for watching!
