I don't even know where to begin. The bending is great and the representation already makes this better than the 2010 disaster movie, however, the writing is awful, the dialogue is all over the place, and some of the CGI scenes are comically unrealistic. This show completely unjustifies the animated version by throwing away essential character development that was present in the animated version by trying to rush the entire pace of the show. There is no sokka development, the impact of aang finding out what happened to the airbenders is COMPLETELY taken out by having gran gran try to sum it all up within 20 seconds, leading to aang already knowing his people are gone instead of finding out like we saw in the animated version. The acting is lackluster. It's almost like they want the characters to tell the audience what they are doing instead of showing it by overly showing emotions. I knew the creators of the show leaving the project was a huge indication this was going to flop. If you were a fan of the animated version I do not recommend this show. You are much better off rewatching the animated version instead of watching this over hyped cash grab series
