The Avatar Remake is Painfully Bad | Part 1

Seriously where’s the rest? 😅

When is part 2 coming?

I'm so curious which of these choices were the straw that broke the camels back for the original creators

I'm going to watch the rest of the season, but it's so satisfying to hear you break down each misstep they made.

Please make these for the rest of the season, i had a watch party with my friends for the first ep and there were so many things that were just incomprehensibly bad, I'

the first episode was the worst of the netflix series imo, though there are other contenders. i don't understand why the people making this adaptation seem to not understand what people like about ATLA and what makes it good? There are like, 9000000 video essays about it

The little of the show I'm seeing through this review is fucking unbearable. I had to stop the video more than once with how much they shoot themselves in the foot. This is just a higher budget version of the Shyamalan movie.

why is it seemingly so impossible to adapt this series?? is it really that hard 😭😭

im not usually one to rag on hyped-up shows or movies for no good reason but some of the dialogue and narrative choices in the first episode alone made me want to crawl out of my skin. they basically took everything we loved about how aang's story was set up and made it completely inconsequential by infodumping aang's relationship with gyatso when that wasn't revealed until a couple episodes in in the original, robbing the audience of any curiosity they might've had about his character. as soon as i heard them say "remember, no survivors" i turned that shit off with a quickness lmfao... when i was a kid i read (and reread in adulthood for fun) shitty atla fanfiction in which the author frequently forgot that toph was blind, yet it was still less on the nose and more believable than whatever script they were following

I can't wait for the next one! (Also this vid doesn't work on the app for some reason just so y'all know, you gotta use a browser)

came back here to watch this on vimeo

Also I'm sure this show is much worse than the One Piece live action just from how different the response to the two have been but the note made at the start about "if you're going to make a change to the source material you need a reason to do that" is exactly how I felt about the One Piece changes that bothered me. Lots of beats changed in ways that only served to remove character moments or which the only reason I could think of for why the change was made was so they could reduce the amount of speaking roles for actors.

Are there are plans to upload this to nebula? EDIT: Just noticed that it's already there, on the Big Joel channel rather than the Little one

Frankly, this is the preferable way to consume this show.

Can't have organic storytelling because they're cutting out all the filler, so they only have time left for the A plot. ugh.

the whole first episode is just peak "show dont tell" to me. for the love of god just show us anything before you write dialogue telling it

It doesn't work for me

You lied to us, your closest fans. The video was up immediately, and it slapped exactly as much as it did the first time. Very disappointed
