#atla remake

You’d think people would learn their lesson and respect the animation medium and a respected art form and storytelling medium even in its own community of supposed “animation lovers” but I guess not.

This is getting redundant and 100%. Why I don’t think REAL fans of any animated film that has came out in the past have are REAL fans.

However I think that what would have fixed its pacing is if they had 10 episodes instead of only 8. They tried to rush through too much plot at once and squashed it together a little too much. The original season 1 is 20 episodes, meaning 10 would be like combining 2 episodes for each one, which I think would work much better than squishing 3 or 4 into one.

The devil is in the detail after all, and they lost a lot of detail trying to contain everything into only 8 episodes. I hope they have more episodes for season 2 and 3 because I think it would help a lot with the pacing and give more opportunity for character exploration and growth.

It was so good and true to the source material, so why would you not like it?

The casting was 100/10, the score was beautiful and moving, the set designs were gorgeous, the effects were so much better than I was expecting, and yes, it wasn't 1:1 with the original but it literally couldn't be with 8 episodes and it was very well done for the time alloted.

I would say the only disappointing bits were Bumi was kind of bitter and we didn't get Sokka in full Kyoshi warrior makeup and armor.

the fact that instead of running away he just was out for a midnight stroll and got caught in a storm. i liked that flaw he had in the original show! where he overheard something and then ran away on impulse because he was a scared little kid!

and then he has to live with that guilt. that when the world needed him most, he did abandon his duty. like when people are angry with him for abandoning the world, he has to struggle with the fact that they're half right. yeah he didn't intend to get caught in the storm, but he did run away on a whim instead of facing his responsibilities.
