It wasn’t the air-bending that bothered me. Or, necessarily, Amon’s resolution (could have been cleaner, but I got what they were going for). Or even her regaining her bending, eventually. It was all of those things stacked on top of each other--felt pretty unsatisfying.
Nickelodeon says no.....
Agree with all of these. Original Airbenders felt like classic A:TLA.
That final air-bending ceremony.........
Should come with a warning label: “It gets better, I promise.”
Well the top ten list for Avatar composes 16% of the show’s episodes.
I’m sure it is! I just don’t see a need for a live-action remake of a story already told close to perfectly.
I remember them saying they were ready to move on from the world of Avatar back in 2014. I agree with you—no need for this remake when the original holds up as well as it ever did.
10 best episodes of Korra, with a lot of cheating, for me (spoilers):
Do it. Season 1 rushes the hell out of its ending and Season 2 has tons of problems. But stick through Season 2 and you will be rewarded.
Frankly it was far, far better than what I thought it would be. Let’s hope they actually keep it up for more than 1 or 2 seasons....
Re-watching Avatar is always a good use of time—I burned through it on Netflix as well. The first season does improve significantly upon re-watching (The Southern Air Temple and The Deserter are underrated gems), but I still think it falls a bit short of the brilliant Books 2 and 3, which are the peak of Western…
I was sticking to the Moffat era. But you are correct.
Also, Aang’s kids were well handled in Book 2. It makes sense that Aang would favor his air-bender son—it humanizes him by making him a flawed person, and it rings true. The way Tenzin came to terms with his father’s legacy in the Fog of Souls was also great.
ZHU LI—DO THE THING!
It never bothered me that much either. I guess it’s a minor narrative weakness, but the finale gets everything else so perfectly right that it really comes off as a blip.
Awkward Zuko is best Zuko.
It introduced Varrick--that’s something.
2 and 3 of Avatar and 3 and 4 of Korra are all genuinely great seasons of tv to me.
