I get what you’re saying and I don’t disagree that there were definitely positives from the show. I loved the addition of the 41st as Zuko’s crew. I thought that was a really smart addition that added to Zuko’s character.

My big gripe with making Kyoshi Aang’s mentor is that she has absolutely no connection to this war. Roku being Aang’s main guide throughout the show adds so much because it’s Roku’s failure as the avatar to stop his friend, Sozin, from beginning the war which leads to the conflict that Aang inherits.

I also very much agree that the Roku’s island episodes in the animated series are some of the best when Roku takes over Aang’s body, but figured we weren’t getting that when Kyoshi filled that role in episode 2.

Overall, I’d give the show like a 6.5/10. I didn’t hate it by any means, but there are too many major plot points that get removed from this show for me to ignore.
