SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER FOR NATLA S2E1
Dialogue has def improved
Katara recreates the og show intro
Offscreened Aang learning water but replaced it with him having to learn how to heal
Slight kataang moment? Katara still clueless rn
Lizzy yu as Azula is peak ngl
-I think they’re setting up Azula’s eventual emotional downfall better than the og. We actually see more from her pov with her relationship with ozai
They definitely had to remix these early storylines of s2. This eps alone was like half of the first 10eps of the og s2. This is more of an alternative retelling of atla than an adaptation. Can still be enjoyable tho. The remixed plotlines don’t feel forced like for example wan shi tong in s1
Effects look way better, real on set locations clear the volume cgi sets and it’s not close
Suki asks Katara to be apart of the kyoshi warriors and that along with katara seeing someone praying to her looks to be what inspires katara to become the painted lady we seen from the trailer
Pacing is very fast tho. it’s to be expected tho, with them having 7eps to work with and basically wanting to utilize the ba sing se set as fast and as much as possible
Overall I’m gonna be honest I’m very pleased so far. The big criticisms I had for s1 have definitely been improved, changes so far don’t feel like they serve no purpose , dialogue has improved while there is some exposition that’s to be expected for an ep 1 and it’s not as crazy as it was in s1. I urge you if you’re coming into s2 onwards expecting a direct adaptation you’re just gonna be upset, this is more of a retelling/ alternate version. S1 I rated a 6.5/10. If this continues like how this first eps was and hit on the big finale I can easily see this season being as good as an 8.5/10
