I must say you have to actually sit and watch the serious with an open mind, yes some thimgs are change around, I myself had to rewatch it with an open mind. If you are an avatar fan, yes some parts will make you a bit upset because they change some things to fit into 8 episodes but if you are a true fan you will see they stuck to the storyline with some moderate changes. I do feel like they should have pick better cast members. I also think they should have slowed the way aang was falling in love with katara.
