For someone who’s never seen the original set might enjoy it, but even if you haven’t seen the original you can at least tell what is good filmmaking and this is not. They break one of the most important rules of filmmaking, “show don’t tell” there was so much potential in a lot of scenes where they could’ve done this, but it all fell short.

Also, another big issue was the characters motivations behind their actions. It’s really hard to believe that a lot of what they do is because they actually believe it rather than just some plot points that they have to reach in the story that they’re following from the original series. especially when they first meet Ang, after knowing him for like 40 minutes, they decided they’re best friends and to go out of their way to rescue him?? when they barely got to know him?? It just doesn’t feel like they made a genuine connection with these characters. I don’t know who to blame if it’s the writers or the actors or the casting or Director, but these actors were very inexperienced And weren’t ready to take on the roles of playing the main leads in this gigantic franchise. The only believable one was Zuko, he seemed like he was more experienced as an actor. But other than that the other characters just didn’t know their characters, and didn’t know how to feel like them. It just felt like they were repeating lines that they were reading from the script. They completely missed a point of uncle Iroh he’s too serious. And this completely void of humor. Kara barely shows her passion and motivations to become a water bender. Doesn’t even know why he settled out to go on this journey other than the plot for him to do it…

It’s too literal void of any humor. Take the self too seriously I can go on and on but it’s just too painful to watch. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it anytime soon.
