VISUAL EFFECTS & 8/10.
-The wigs for the woman are for whatever reason, significantly worse.
-Zuko's scar is pretty lackluster
-Aang's and the waterbender costumes feel too "fresh"
-The CGI for people is lacking and could use some love.
-All in all, very solid with the exceptions of a few nitpicky things
ACTING 6/10
There are some solid examples of some acting with some exceptionally poor examples.
-It's hard to separate the acting from the writing. Some actors, like Aang, are doing their best but are just being given awful dialogue.
-Some feel like they've been given bad or no direction. Katara and Iroh are examples of this. They have good moments but most of time, feel off or are confused.
-Some are just bad. Gran Gran
WRITING 1/10
It's just bad.
-With just 8 episodes, they're trying to condense a much larger season into a lot less. You would think that would make them prioritize the important scenes, but they randomly throw in random scenes that take away from the story
-The core elements of a lot of characters just aren't there. Aang is insufferable, Katara has no personality, everyone from the fire nation is all over the place, etc.
-There are some changes to the story which are just bad. There was something that confused me in every episode.
