1: quick drawing of Zuko from ATLA 2: silly doodle of Katara and Aang from ATLA

Ep 1:

Disclaimer: this is merely my personal view on the first watch of this show. Perhaps you had a better or worse experience.

.

.

It's not the worst I've seen but it feels incredibly rushed. They're spewing out all the info at you without giving time to allow the watcher to take it in.

Though I loved the extra time given to see the first attack of the Fire Nation against the Southern Air Temple.

Some of the actors are better than others and it's unfortunately obvious. Though everything seems incredibly cheesy. Which I can mostly ignore since it's a live action from a cartoon.

.

I adore the name of the Southern Water Tribe Village. Wolf Cove :)

.

I'm incredibly sad that Sokka didn't put on his war paint and helmet before approaching Zuko :(

They're fight seen is way more dramatic than the cartoon lmao

.

I notice that Aang already has some hair growing in as he's being taken to Zuko's ship. Nice touch. I like that detail.

Kinda stinks they didn't take the time to check out the old war ship

Sokka: "let's go save the weird kid"

.

GASP, Uncle Iroh and Aang talk in the jail cells!!!! :D.

Aang: "Is that what you believe?"

Iroh: *ah shi- I'm blabbering too much* oh hey, fam, gotta go- I'll send you some tea

.

The Force is strong with Aang. That jail key scene is air fire.

.

AANG IN ZUKOS ROOM. HEY STOP READING HIS DIARY PUNK

He took the staff in Zuko's room, instead of already having one. I'm okay with this difference actually. I like that, it's funny.

Zuko's hinted at obsession with Airbender artifacts is gonna help the Airbender. Gotta love it.

.

Aang escape

Zuko angy o.O

BUT YEAH GO KATARRA!

But are we gonna see some Avatar State?? ...Nope, guess not.

.

The way that they show that nature has been taking over the S Air Temple over the course of 100 years is making me very happy. That's a great addition.

.

OH NO, ARE WE GONNA SEE THE REMAINS OF GYATSO AND THE KIDS OH NO

Oh geez, there he is oh geez. Ouch ouch ouch

THE FLASHBACK IT HURTS

Oh here we go :/. Avatar State time

"you will always be my friend." Dang. New phrase to torture myself over.

The hug 😭

.

Is he gonna keep Gyatso's necklace?

.

Ending with some deep truths and Zuko slightly going nuts. Good 1st EP end, ngl.

.

OH YEAH THE MUSIC

“I’m ruining it aren’t I?”
