Realistically, time wise, they only had to cut 2 hours from the original series’ first season. These episodes are an hour long and there’s 8 of them, so literally change nothing about how much time you allowed yourself in the live action Avatar, and you could have given us an almost beat for beat adaptation without cutting anything important. Instead so far, we have gotten an obscene amount of unnecessary context and exposition that does nothing but call the audience stupid. If you need these things spoon fed to you like this then you don’t need to be watching tv you need to be either in therapy, or staring at a blank wall because you are too stupid to consume anything that takes brain cells.

Visually I think the show is beautiful, the bending cinematography is super weird so I’ll go ahead and give the overall visuals an 8/10. The casting for the live action Avatar seems like it was mostly fine but the director did not let these kids act at all and the show is suffering for it. Zuko is the only one that seems to fit his character. Most of the dialogue is really…questionable. I am hoping that this improves over the first season but I honestly highly doubt it. Avatar the Last Airbender could be so much better then this.
