EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED with Netflix's Avatar is my final verdict.
Everything i loved about the Nickelodeon series, completely wiped. Characters are not how I remembered them to be, character growth non existent and the pacing is like on steroids.
That bad parts about Netflix's Avatar.
- the casting of Aang. the kid had zero Aang essence. ill-suited to be Aang to say the least.
- the non existent Aang-Katara relationship/attraction
- the disappointing earthbending
- that Sokka gets heavily underutilized and all the fun about him poking fun at girls in a goofy way gets sucked away from the series
- that the showrunners tried to tell too much by telling too much
The good parts about Netflix's Avatar
- the bloody brilliant Uncle Iroh. Honestly the real star of the 8 episodes.
- Zuko was pretty damn decent.
- Sokka carrying team Avatar literally.
All in I say this would be a decent watch for someone of Gen Z or never watched Avatar growing up. But for anyone who loved Avatar to bits, this is rather disappointing.
