I did enjoy the show and would love to see the rest of the books portrayed on this Netflix adaptation. Hopefully getting a season 2, 3, and more. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because it is better than the film back in 2010, but there are some things that do not do the original show justice. It was great to see it in live action, but there are some things that I believe can be done better. Minus half a star because of the bending. It’s awesome to be able to see the powers of bending in live-action but the moves don’t seem as fluid as they do from the OG show. It seems slower, an example is when Katara fights Pakku. In my opinion the graphics were amazing but it seems it would’ve been 10 times better if the bending was sped up or maybe if they trained the actors better to be able to do the bending moves more quickly and fluidly. It seemed like they just learned how to do it just before shooting. Minus the second half of a star because of the story. With the hour long episodes I thought we’d be able to see more in each episode, but it didn’t seem like it. The character development was not there like it was in the OG show. We didn’t get to see Aang grow up from a child into accepting his role avatar, or even Katara growing as a water bender. We even didn’t get to really see the comedic relief of Sokka. He use to crack me up in the OG show, but it didn’t seem like that this time. In all I understand that the show would have had to make some cuts due to the length of the OG show compared to the Netflix adaptation. But I believe if they were given more than 8 episodes, the show would have been better. However I believe that they do need to improve on what they believe should still be included in the show, and what they should adapt from the OG show. Also the cabbage guy was a nice touch as well. XD
