Avatar: The Last Airbender

Pleasantly surprised how much I actually enjoyed this after being hella skeptical at the start. It's obviously never going to be as good as the original but it also isn't a complete trainwreck like a certain movie. The fight choreography is really great and the CGI during those scenes looks pretty amazing. Dallas Liu absolutely killed it. Uncle Iroh is amazing as always. On the other hand there is a lot of exposition dump in the beginning. You can tell the main trios actors are all pretty inexperienced but all growing over the course of the season. Also not a huge fan of how they handled/changed some of the spirit world stuff (altough some changes like combining various story lines during Omashu worked fantastic). Maybe one or two more scenes of Aang being goofy couldn't hurt. Sometimes it got a bit too dark and serious. And I think that some city/world background scenes looked way to green screeny and the outfits and set designs have that typical cheap and way too clean Netflix fantasy look. But these are relatively minor things IMO. I still very thoroughly enjoyed watching all 8 episodes

I guess the bending looks better than the movie… but that’s as much good as I can say about this. Let Avatar be the ultimate example of why animation should be a respected form of media and that not every animation needs a live action.
