Didn’t watch it yet, as I’m only 2 episodes in and Idon’t want to taint my first view too much.
But from what I’ve seen of the show, I understand how they reach this conclusion. And Jessie Gender usually has quite a good grasp on these things.
Edit: Kind reminder that this post is for sharing/discussing the video, not for dunking on the Netflix adaptation.
Edit2: Watched it now. Spoilers for the first 2 episodes and light spoilers for the rest of the live action show, season 1.
It seems like show was not trying to be memorable like animated show. I still remember when I watched Aang chasing Momo and accidentally seeing Gyatso’s skeleton. It felt like a punch in the gut. From what I understand, the Netflix show doesn’t do it like that.
Yeah, way too often does it feel like they are going “now this important moment happens, then this important moment happens” in their scripts without a good way between those. That’s better in some episodes than in others, maybe some individual directors were able to make more out of that than others.
So, you haven’t watched it. Yet here you are.
