Teek posted:They mentioned events from a few of the skipped season 1 episodes, but there are still 3 or 4 skipped season 1 episodes which could feature in season 2. Imprisoned, The Fortuneteller, Bato of the Water Tribe and The Deserter from what I can figure. Bringing in Bato again may also allow them to revisit some of the adjusted trial backstory. Having The Avatar State plot occur at the Northern Water Tribe is a very elegant idea.

Ideally you'd make the first episode a riff on The Avatar State and have Aang learning water bending in the North still, but have the leaders there try and trigger the Avatar State by force instead of having it be the random Earth Kingdom general. Then the Gaang decides to peace out at the end and go to the Earth Kingdom to find his master there.

The one change I can't get over, and I'd love to hear the writers discuss, is Aang not actually running away.

Larryb posted:Yeah, in this version he just went for a joyride to clear his head and was about to come back when he got caught in the storm (yet the show still treats it like he abandoned his duty) It's weird as gently caress that they have multiple characters call him out on it but he never stands-up for himself, and him and Sokka/Katara never discuss it. It's missing beats like this that really makes the show feel more like a 'greatest hits' and less like it has it's own identity.

BRJurgis posted:I really appreciated what the show did. I do agree with some of the above, but perhaps less critically. Overall I absolutely loved the live action show. It was great. I just think that with minor adjustments you could make it stand by itself instead of being in conversation with the cartoon so much.

Open Source Idiom posted:One of their scenes is, the scene where Aang monologues to an implacable Zuko, but I think the scene before it where they actually talk to each other while hiding in a shed is a pure show invention. Oh sorry, yes, that's 100% right.

Crumps Brother posted:X-O already covered it, but one of the few things I'd heard someone mention before I started watching the show was a complaint about Katara becoming a master out of nowhere. So I ended up having that on my mind during my watch and thought it was really well done how organically they showed her progressing as the season went on. One of the main problems with not showing Aang learning from her is you miss the payoff in the final episode that brings it all full circle, which I would of thought they would want to keep intact.

The only complaint I have about LA Zuko is that his scar should be worse. In the cartoon he's missing his eyebrow on that side and his ear is managed. In the comics they even establish that part of the reason he's still training with Iroh on the ship is that his balance has been ruined by the injury and he's having to readjust. In the LA it's not really a realistic looking scar at all.

Ccs posted:Yeah all this, plus her and Aang are learning waterbending in tandem in the cartoon, and Aang seems like a natural in it which Katara can both learn from and push her to also be really good. And for Aang to be good at waterbending naturally doesn't feel cheap cause he's the avatar and also a sort of bending prodigy. Removing Aang learning the push/pull technique from Katara being the first move he learns on screen loving sucks, because its the last move he uses in the entire show to demonstrate how far he's come and it's a great payoff that now the live action will miss out on. Of course they will still have him use it after the final fight but it won't mean as much now.
