I will start by saying I absolutely love the anime; hands down the best ever created. This movie is Much better then the “movie” they created that was without a doubt the worst movie ever created for avatar.
With that said, I’ve been extremely disappointed with how much of the story line they’ve changed. It doesn’t need to be word for word but there is blatant changes to the best anime ever created… from rushing the character development to just changing the story (where Omashu is set and them never visiting the southern air temple; to not having Aang have to learn all of the elements before summers end) I was very disappointed. Not to mention, they got it a bit wrong with how the personalities of the characters should have been.
They did add some things that I did like, such as Munk Gyatso’s at the beginning and showing a bit more of how Zuko got his scar.
Bumi was absolutely horrendous in his part and was completely botched; same with how Roku was portrayed.
Better than the first try but wish they kept it authentic, I guess that’s why the creators left during the production.
Hopefully they change the second season as it is a great idea; but as the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Stay true to the original but have some great opportunities to enhance with adding things.
Soooo much potential and hope they change some things on sticking to the original story line. Finger crossed!
