i just wanna start by saying Obviously the cartoon is better. its really hard to get the comedy/expression and animated movement from a cartoon into live action... but i really enjoyed this live action adaptation. They combined multiple episodes into 1 story thread, and moved from story thread to the next in their quest for the northern water tribe.
many of the things they did in the LA version were honestly better, and after watching the whole season i agree with all the actor choices (except azula... she was more childish and cute that fierce and scary).
but im super excited for season 2, and would rate the experience 9/10 :) deffinetly recommend!
