Avatar: The Last Airbender - Season 2

Although I gave the show **8 stars**, it's more like **7.5 stars**. I like the show, but it would have been considered a pretty good show if I didn't have any prior knowledge about the original show. However, with my prior knowledge, **I see it as a good show, but not pretty good**. They did a decent job adapting the original show, but I hope that in season 2, they make it a bit more aligned with the original, not a recreation, but a little more aligned with the original. That would be amazing.

**Who are the writer??** Those who grew up with the memories of the original animation series, here is a bad news for you. This live action is an absolute abomination! It had a promising start, and the first 3 episodes were enjoyable. Eventually, the new writers’ plague took over and turned everything into a mess. They literally changed the original story and made it to deliver “the message”! The last 3 episodes were so bad, I wanted them to end it already. I am not going to go into details, but here are the good and bad from my perspective: GOOD: 1. I liked the casting. The actors look like the original animation series characters. 2. Zuko is a good actor. His uncle on the other hand seems goofy. 3.Some good CGI. BAD: 1. Bad acting, direction, dialogues. 2. No character building or chemistry between characters. 3. The storyline is changed dramatically, which looks like any other Netflix girl boss series. E.g. God forbid if water bending women had to take the nurturing and healing role. They must fight into the battle and stand up against the patriarchy. Katara beating Zuko’s ass, Azula is the ultimate warrior, and so on. These days you simply can’t entertain yourself without being lectured about something. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Overall, extremely bad remake (if you want to call it one). I would rather watch the animation series again than waste my time on this crap. 4/10.

Truly an attempt. but beating the look of the worst movie of all time isn't a big achievement. The appearance and action of this show is nearly perfect, but the writing and plot leave so much to be desired that I can't help but wonder why anyone would watch this instead of the perfection of the original cartoon. It's almost hard to sit through knowing how each impactful scene will be mangled by the exposition machines (sorry, characters). Aang freaking out about Monk Gyatso makes no sense if he already knows all the airbenders are dead and when learning that info, barely reacted. Katara doesn't even calm him down, he just has flashbacks of Monk Gyatso and stuff until he feels better. 0/10 writing, visuals get a 5/10 for managing to at least resemble the original show, but the original bending animations are such masterpieces that it still outshines this show. And they forgot to try with the script, so it's literally just having the plot spoken aloud most of the time instead of ever seeing any of it. no impact.
