So, uh, Netflix Avatar, huh? Yeah. I guess I'll make a really long post about it because ATLA brainrot has is a cornerstone of my personality at this point.
So.
It's okay. B, maybe a C+.
That's it.
Now for the spoilers:
The biggest issue with the Netflix version is the pacing. Scenes come out of nowhere and many of the episodes are disjointed. Example: Aang escaping from Zuko's ship. We see him getting the key and going "aha!", and in the next scene he's in Zuko's room. And then he just runs out, no fun acrobatics or fights, and immediately they go to the Southern Air Temple where he sees Gyatso's corpse, goes into the Avatar state, and then sees Gyatso being really cheesy, comes out of it, and resolves that conflict. Nothing seems to lead into anything. The characters don't get to breathe.
The show's worst mistake (aside from Iroh fucking murdering Zhao) is its' first one: they start in the past. Instead of immediately introducing us to our main characters and dropping us into a world where we have a perfect dynamic where Aang doesn't know the current state of the world and Katara and Sokka don't know about the past, thus allowing for seamless and organic worldbuilding and exposition, they just... tell us. "Hey, this is what happened, ok, time for Aang!" There's no mystery, no intrigue, just a stream of information being shoved down the audience's throats and then onto the next set piece.
The visuals are for the most part great, but like with most Netflix productions, they just don't have great art direction. It feels like a video game cinematic, where everything is meant to be Maximum Cool - and none of the environments get to breathe. It's like they have tight indoor sets (with some great set design) and then they have a bunch of trailer shots. It's oozing with a kind of very superficial love.
Netflix still doesn't know how to do lighting, and with how disjointed the scenes are, the locations end up feeling like a parade of sets rather than actual cities or forests or temples. As for the costumes, Netflix still doesn't know how to do costumes that look like they're meant to be actually worn, so many of the characters seem weirdly uncomfortable, like they're afraid of creasing their pristine costumes.
The acting is decent to good, for the most part. I can't tell if the weaker moments come down to the actors or the direction and editing, but if I had to guess, I'd say the latter. Iroh and Katara are the weakest, Sokka is the most consistent, Zuko hits the mark most of the time, and Aang is okay. I liked Suki (though... she was weirdly horny? Like?) but Yue just fell kind of flat.
The tight fight choreography of the original is replaced with a bunch of spinny moves and Marvel fighting, though there are some moments of good choreography, like the Agni Kai between Ozai and Zuko (there's a million things I could say about how bad it was thematically, but this post is overly long already.) There's an actually hilarious moment in the first episode when Zuko is shooting down Aang, and he does jazz hands to charge up his attack.
Then there's the characters. Everybody feels very static - Zuko especially gets to have very little agency. A great example of that is the scene in which Iroh tells Lieutenant Jee the story of Zuko's scar.
In the original, it's a very intimate affair, and he doesn't lead the crew into any conclusions. Here, Iroh straight up tells the crew "you are the 41st, he saved your lives" and then the crew shows Zuko some love. A nice moment, but it feels unearned, when contrasted with the perfection of The Storm. In The Storm, Zuko's words and actions directly contradict each other, and Iroh's story gives the crew (and the audience) context as to why, which makes Zuko a compelling character. We get to piece it out along with them. Here - Iroh just flat out says it. He just says it, multiple times, to hammer in the point that hey, Zuko is Good Actually.
And then there's Iroh. You remember the kindly but powerful man who you can see gently nudging Zuko to his own conclusions? No, he's a pretty insecure dude who just tells Zuko that his daddy doesn't love him a lot and then he kills Zhao. Yeah. Iroh just plain kills Zhao dead. Why?
Iroh's characterization also makes Zuko come off as dumb - not just clueless and deluded, no, actually stupid. He constantly gets told that Iroh loves him and his dad doesn't, and he doesn't have any good answers for that, so he just... keeps on keeping on, I guess? This version of Zuko isn't conflicted and willfully ignorant like the OG, he's just... kind of stupid. He's not very compelling.
In the original, Zuko is well aware of Azula's status as the golden child. It motivates him - he twists it around to mean that he, through constant struggle, can become even stronger than her, than anyone. Here, Zhao tells him that "no, ur dad likes her better tee hee" and it's presented as some kind of a revelation. And then Iroh kills Zhao. I'm sorry I keep bringing that up, but it's just such an unforgiveable thematic fuckup that I have to. In the original, Zhao falls victim to his hubris, and Zuko gets to demonstrate his underlying compassion and nobility when he offers his hand to Zhao. Then we get some ambiguity in Zhao: does he refuse Zuko's hand because of his pride, or is it his final honorable action to not drag Zuko down with him? A mix of both? It's a great ending to his character. Here, he tries to backstab Zuko and then Iroh, who just sort of stood off to the side for five minutes, goes "oh well, it's murderin' time :)"
They mess with the worldbuilding in ways that didn't really need to be messed with. The Ice Moon "brings the spirit world and the mortal world closer together"? Give me a break. That's something you made up, as opposed to the millenia of cultural relevance that the Solstice has. That's bad, guys. You replaced something real with something you just hastily made up. There's a lot of that. We DID NOT need any backstory for Koh, for one. And Katara and Sokka certainly didn't need to be captured by Koh. I could go on and on, but again, this post is already way too long.
It's, um, very disappointing. A lot of telling and not very much showing, and I feel like all of the characters just... sort of end up in the same place they started out in. I feel like we don't see any of the characters grow: they're just told over and over again how they need to grow and what they need to do.
To sum it up: Netflix Avatar is a mile wide, but an inch deep.
I've just ended Book 2 of Legend of Korra (I love avatar, but I'm still a beginner, I'm kinda slow) and honestly, why do some people blame Korra for losing the connection to the other Avatars? I always thought people said that because she made some kind of decision that lead to that, as some kind of unavoidable consequence she knew would happen but chose, some kind of lesser evil.
I think you can imagine how surprised i was when I saw that she fought with all her strength to prevent it, she did everything in her hand, but lost it, it wasn't her choice, she lost it in battle, why are people blaming her for it? It's like blaming a soldier for losing a leg in combat.
Something like this could have happened to anyone, even Aang himself! Let's remember that he was barely able to defeat Fire Lord Ozai, Aang was almost defeated that day, he was cornered and, let's be honest, in those circumstances, he was pretty much dead.
Aang only survived because Ozai threw him against a rock and, luckily for Aang, he got hit at the exact spot where Azula's lightning had hit him in Ba Sing Se, unlocking the Avatar state. If it hadn't been for that little coincidence, Ozai would have destroyed Ba Sing Se and conquered the whole world...
I know, Aang was 12 and didn't even fully control one of the elements (earthbending, if i recall correctly), but i think we can, no, we MUST forgive Korra for not being able to defeat with no losses an evil, all powerful spirit who has lived for God knows how long... she's a great warrior, a great Avatar and a great girl, she deserves better.
fanfiction is so amazing it’s like wow… there are all these people out there who understand and think about these characters in the exact same way i do and they can put all that into words for me to read… incredible… i love fanfiction #ilovefanfiction
Hello everyone! This weekend my account got hacked after falling for a money scam that is going around Tumblr.
Basically, an account that looks legit or not fake at all will send you a message saying that they have reported you accidentally and that you should contact a Tumblr Employee on Discord. The guy tried to scam me for money and even threatened with a so called prison sentence if I did not send him 1000$.
Thankfully I did not send him any money but I did lose my account🥲 but thanks to the Tumblr staff I was able to get it back and I am so happy💞💘
I have created a new account if something like this ever happens again🩷 @maki20sworld
By the way I am also thinking to start writing again so stay tuned, might even finish the stories that I have not finished👀
the second i saw carlisle patch bella up in that one scene in new moon after she was shoved to the wall and bleeding i KNEW it was game over for me. wraps.
They say the ceasefire is holding in Gaza, while 1,500 homes have been destroyed with their inhabitants inside. This is part of the agreed-upon plan. Perhaps the occupation said: "I want to stop firing, but I want to destroy a little more." This is a farce. Where is humanity? Where are you? Why are you silent? We are being bombed and the world is watching.
