After checking out a bunch of forums, I noticed that people had really mixed feelings about Netflix's A:TLA (perhaps due to the trauma of live-action adaptations). I'd love to hear your thoughts and whether it's worth watching.
What's on your mind?

Let's discuss
plus this who's looking forward to Season two
Just to let you know the production code name for the new season of air bender is the anagram DINER BEAR. Enjoy!
I am not a fan of NATLA, with the worst episode being the spirit world journey episode. It felt like a Netflix producer told them that they needed to have the spirit world in their show, and they decided to take everything spirit worldy from ATLA, the comics, and LOK and shove them into that episode because they think people will like it due to it being a reference to something they already love. This failed for me on all the fronts. First off, that episode is a mess in terms of plot. Aang is supposed to be finding and talking to Heibai. Instead it gets completely side tracked by Koh. This is incredibly angering and annoying. The point of that episode in ATLA was to show (and not tell) how Aang is hopeful and will always chose peace to end a conflict. Getting rid of that goal midway through immediately takes that away, and now they have to tell how he's so peaceful and hopeful as well as have him go on a stupid quest that does not advance his character development. Past plot, the spirit world itself doesn't make sense and looks kind of bad. How does Aang meditating pull in Katara and Sokka (who again have no point to be there other then to get kidnapped to sidetrack the story)? That makes no sense. I get spirit energy has been used to explain a lot of weird stuff before (which I've complained about many times) but at least it made bare minimum sense (actually the meditation in Legacy of Yangchen made zero sense). This is nonsensical that they could suddenly enter the spirit world because Aang's meditating. Anyway, you'd think the spirit world would look great. But, it didn't. They just put a purple filter on and had them walk around woods. The spirit world is supposed to have an otherworldly feel to it. There are woods, but they're wrong in some way. Instead NATLA gave us purple filter spirit world with cameos from spirits who should not be in the episode. Speaking of spirits who should not be there, aka The Fog and Koh. All they're here to do is to ruin the plot and show how little the show runners understand the point of both spirits in their respective moments. I want to talk about Koh, the Fog, and how I think it relates to identity in another post, so I won't go in full here, but it doesn't make sense for Koh to be working with the Spirit Fog and also being malevolent. The only thing I liked about it was Aang meeting Gyatso. That's it. It's a mess.
Im kinda really late lol but wtf is going on with Dallas and Ian??? don't they ship zukka??? I'm so confused like they were ROOMMATES???? zukka is my otp so I'm probs getting over excited but WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN THEM????

JET IS BACK!!! I JUST REALIZED FOR LITERALLY ONE SECOND BEFORE HE REVEALED HIS NAME!!!
but right now I'm going to watch the new avatar show on Netflix. It's a live action series and I think it's based on the original series. I hope they have the cabbage gag and friendly Mushroom. Tell me how good it is, because I am going to watch it rn!!!
Given how much Katara has been toned down for the live action series, could that Katara pull off episodes like Imprisoned, The Painted Lady, The Headband and above all The Southern Raiders?

What do think about the casting?? ┐(´ー`)┌
Stay flammin ✨
Albert Kim, showrunner for Netflix' live action Avatar: The Last Airbender, has left the series. He states that he has left to pursue other opportunities but given the lackluster reception the show has received largely due to changes he introduced to the characters and story I have to wonder if his departure was truely voluntary.
The removal of Sokka's sexism has generated concerns among fans about likely future changes that will be made to the characters and the story. A problem I forsee coming up is Sokka getting stoned out of his mind on cactus juice in the episode, The Desert.
Sokka is clearly under the influence of a hallucinogenic substance which might raise concerns of certain factions that might see this episode as an endorsement of drug abuse as Sokka's predicament is played for humor.
