Live Action A.T.L.A 1x2

Hmmmm

Comments

It's tough. I understand Netflix wanting some flexibility in not being backed into a corner with a 1 to 1 adaption of the show, much the same Disney faced with making films that would follow the post RotJ era and not following the existing stories in the EU. My biggest issue if the flow of the story by chopping up the episodes from season 1 and now even season 2 in regards to Avatar State episode and Avatar day episode and mixing them together. The thing with Suki(episode highlight) makes me think that being a Kyoshi warrior means you don't get romantically involved with men.

oh'snap! guess they're just busy..

Pitou

I know but it didn't came this week at all

Nadine Felscher

it's once a week

Pitou

I'm really interested what your final thoughts are going to be at the end of the series..

Pitou

When will be the reaction for episode 3 coming?

Nadine Felscher

My thoughts

Mansxlook _05

There’s just a lot a lot a lot of telling and not showing like why is there so much over explaining any characters emotions feelings thoughts or actions there’s so much yapping

celery

ur a fricking hater dude. like seriously

Bellaa

@The Owl If it was made with love and respect, the creators would have stayed on.

Zonbi

Damn, that sucks

Zonbi

thank you, this is a response i can agree with and respect. lets hope they can improve on some things

Bellaa

y'all are going to be based viewers moving forward in the live-action of ATLA because they incorporate a lot of things from Korra.

IreonnaOreo

Personally, I have many issues with Netflix ATLA, but I believe it was made with love & respect. It could’ve been much worse and it does not show an outright disdain for the original story - something I couldn’t say for many adaptations in the last several years.

The Owl

Well said. Everyone has a right to their opinion, and to defend it and challenge it against others that they disagree with. That’s an important part of being a fan in the first place, to engage. I also agree that Netflix ATLA isn’t completely terrible. It has many, many issues but it certainly has it’s moments. As you said, so many beloved IPs are in a really bad spot right now. Hollywood is bankrupts and on fire, generally speaking. I think it’s important that we do our part as fans - express our opinions, whether they support or criticize a piece of media, and discuss amongst ourselves & fan communities.

The Owl

i will just come to the defense of the show when i see people saying the whole thing is terrible. everyone can have their opinions but we need more positivity in order to make and possibly see the changes we want happen

Bellaa

i agree with you that we should be able to critique the characters, stories, and adaptions; but to say this show hasnt had anything good to it is blasphemy imo. watching it through i dont think its amazing and the best we couldve gotten, but we cant change anything now and lately real fans have no power over production studios across all genres. i cant even begin to explain the issues w marvel dc and other franchises. but i believe this adaptation didnt do a terrible job.

Bellaa

It's *because* of our love for the original show that we are critical. This show has massive writing-quality issues, many involving a change that is made from the original story that is worse at accomplishing what it needs to accomplish for the story or character.

The Owl

The live-action version of this storyline completely missed just about every beat, moral, and lesson that each character learns & experiences in the original episode... Not to mention, this show had about an hour of runtime, whereas the cartoon did it in 20 minutes. This live-action episode exposes the incompetent writing that is prevalent throughout the entire series.

The Owl

It's *because* of our love for the original show that we are critical.

The Owl

Maybe, but there's nothing wrong with having a basic-level standard for the stories and characters you love. It's useful & interesting to articulate those issues and criticize adaptations that you think don't meet the same quality of the original work, especially when they change so much from the original. As Henry Cavill said, "It is a fan's right to have any opinion they want to have." "I consider that passionate."

The Owl

you can be a dick about the show but i cant say when u arent correctly reading what i say? but u can correct the show right😂? i dont see how ur point is made at all. im sorry i wasnt trying to be a dick by saying that. i was ticked off that u continued to not hear what i was saying. i love atla w my whole heart. ppl have to give this a chance, or at the very least just leave it alone so the rest of us can enjoy

Bellaa

"again you cant comprehend proper english clearly" If you're just going to be a dick, that's fine. I made my point.

Zonbi

Another show that got the “fixed for modern audiences treatment”

Stannis the Mannis

in the show they basically stated that he will only be able to connect or contact the past avatars in their respective shrines i believe

Bellaa

watch Korra!!!

Bellaa

last thing i will say, is i understand all the frustration with the show. throughout watching it i call out whats different, i say what i dont like and the changes that i disagree with. but overall its amazing to see a live action portrayal that is way closer to the og and many of the actors behind the roles love the show j as much. having a huge amount of people just blantly calling it all horrible and hating on anything that they have created is ridiculous!! real fans can appreciate the hard work/money they put into this. but again if u cant handle it then just leave it be 🩷

Bellaa

again you cant comprehend proper english clearly. i did not insinuate that was the reason, you took it that way cause of ur own feelings. i was simply trying to get u to focus on the positive rather than continuing to shit on it. which u do again in this last message. ik the creators have said they respected the work despite creative differences. but they didnt come out trashing the new show and being only negative. take a second to reevaluate ur mind, to see you arent leaving this project alone you are hating on it (like so many others) and with all this hate stirring up it could prevent them from continuing the show and making improvements and creating something that stays with people/has an impact on a bigger audience then ever before

Bellaa

"ik the creators stepped away but they are also working on all the new material being released" You clearly insinuated they left because they had other projects. "they left due to creative differences with the studio." This is why they actually left. If the creators didnt like the direction it was going, it is perfectly reasonable for me to leave it alone too. You say its because people love to hate on things. Maybe some of the things being created just suck.

Zonbi

you clearly didnt get reading and comprehension skills in school bc of ur responses. i never gave any reason as to why the creators left, i just stated they are making new material. which is me being positive about our atla community. second thing u mentioned: i never said i have never disliked a show💀😹 so never made any kind of claim. i agree your allowed to not like things and pass on them, if you actually stepped out of ur frustration for this adaption, u would see i also said most tv is garbage nowadays!! however i also said this show has potential and is not terrible. meaning it isnt perfect but it still is better than nothing at all and all the other stuff out rn

Bellaa

Go actually look at what they said. That is not why they left. Also, have you never disliked a show in your life? You're actually gonna make that claim? Cause I seriously doubt it. It's ok to not want to consume every piece of shitty money-grubbing content that comes out. You're allowed to not like things and pass on them.

Zonbi

your actually just proving my point. ik the creators stepped away but they are also working on all the new material being released. and i agree tv nowadays is bad, but this show has potential and is not terrible. but continue to stay negative 🫶🏻

Bellaa

lol I'll just say that even the creators left the project, and for good reason. Shitty CGI slop remakes suck and they only exist to give people more braindead content. I'm doing exactly what the creators of the original did and staying out of it.

Zonbi

people love to hate on things nowadays. i think people need to go in with a clear head and just remember there love for the show. take more time appreciating the nostalgia and live adaptation that is 10x better than the 2010 one

Bellaa

This is exactly how I felt about this show but I literally just tried to watch it as its own thing and not compared everything to the original and I actually enjoyed it a lot

G Sama

Additionally, Kyoshi's talk with Aang mirrors his first talk with Roku, except here it warns him of the attack on the North Pole, which is an issue, as now avatars can see the future?

Stevetheiguana

Kyoshi possessing Aang is clearly a replacement for Roku possessing Aang on the winter solstice. Deadline of the comet coming by summers end has to be cut due to actors aging in live action. Agni Kai between Zuko and Zhao was literally ep 3 in the series.

Stevetheiguana

Why the hell would Roku or the Agni Kai be in this episode?

ChiGuy2019

No shit. But if you're going to adapt an existing story, dismissing complaints of changes as "well its LA or it's not 1 to 1" is asinine. If you keep making enough changes, it isn't even the same show or characters anymore. Katara barely acts like Katara in this, Zhao so far is completely different. It's a mess lmao. Better than M Night, but that's such a low bar an indie film maker on YouTube could pass beat that. Hardly a compliment

Stevetheiguana

it's not a 1 to 1 adaptation.

Andy Larkin

I just watched the first ep and it’s so good!

LK

Mckay being sus is nothing new.

Sasha

When they have only one mic it's to be expected. But yeah, sometimes it's hard to understand especially since English is not my first language.

Sasha

Utah

Tyler Passey

omg i'm so excited to watch it!!

alicethegremlin

No way someone body shamed carter, man looks good. I enjoyed this show like it was on its own.

LuvStarburst

Second this. Shogun is fire so far.

Sam

Huhhhh

McKay Carter

4 hours later........

Dio

Maybe we could do a lil swap and watch Shogun instead?

Adee

bro we ALL are haah

Philbo

"Lies!... Deception!"

CHIEF

Ahh while you're here, so lucky to stumble across a youtube reaction to AoT when I was about to rewatch in prep for final seasons. First group to put me on to patreon reactions, then started HxH!! Been fun. When I get time for a hard binge I will be checking out your Naruto videos also. With my boys living so far away now we talk about anime while gaming but otherwise would be watching alone. Fun to just relax and watch with some commentary from you guys. Keep it up, and don't shy away from the gaming content. *Give Your Hearts*

Luke Ruthruff

They pulled a George RR Martin on us

1999

Py Yang

Seth Aasland

Yay Mel!!

Savannah Rodriguez

how is every single one of these dudes good looking. Like i cannot figure out the logistics of that. like where did they even meet. what is this magic place where no ugly dudes are allowed

Kbear '97

i’m talking about the whole winter solstice thing. haven’t seen the other episodes yet, but it wouldn’t make sense to have kyoshi and then introduce roku to share the same info. i know he wasn’t gonna show up on kyoshi island

Joydan Bri’an

u can wait

icynub

What about the one that I want?

Kwisatz

I wish that you guys would be a little bit louder. Sometimes it is hard to understand what you are saying :/

Achillis

+1 for 86 AND naruto

Vixen

What about 86? ☠️

HNadR

NO wAy! I did not expect!! My day got brighter

Savannah

Letsss go

Chuck Norris

"I wouldn't mind" ≠ "i don't want to see that"

Poragami

ATLA barely touched on romance in comparison to Korra, yet still handled it better.

Stevetheiguana

Real answer to this is because it's live action and their child actors are going to grow up, particularly with Aang, and it's hard to sell an audience in S3 years down the line that an older teenager playing Aang is still canonically 12 or 13 as a character. The timeline of Sozin's comet can't work with live action unless you push it back much further.

Stevetheiguana

No Roku, no Agni Kai either. Why was Zhao even pretending to play nice with Zuko? Roku could only possess Aang in the original at his temple during the Winter Solstice. What time or moral constraint prevents Kyoshi from just killing all the fire benders and their ships? I'm all for giving more time to Sokka and Suki, but man were they awkward in this. No fun allowed in this show either. Whole reason they went to Kyoshi Island was to ride the elephant koi, but nah can't do that. Unagi, nah, we don't need that. They briefly showed a girl fan girling over Aang, but Katara cheered it on and they never turned that into a plot point of Aang learning some humility about his celebrity status.

Stevetheiguana

Yeesssss

icynub

HoD in an hour!

Studio Geck

time wise that's like 20+ anime episodes,i would rather get extra FMAB episodes or other anime,but of course they decide

k; Guz

Just don't watch the reactions?

Brady

Bro it's only 8 episodes...

Brady

pls i need it

Agent September

Are we getting hotd today??

Agent September

Well they officially left the project in 2020 but then came back and wrote episodes 1 and 6, then attended the premiere! If not a working relationship it’s at least collaborative lol it is interesting though bc episode 1 seems to be considered the weakest of the season while 6 is considered the strongest so it’s funny to me they wrote both

Anna

they got me hooked 😭

boop

working relationship no, relationship yea although they are literally the previous creators so honestly that doesnt mean much

boop

when are you posting the final two episodes of hotd?

Derrick Johnson

When is HOTD coming? So I can calm my nerves 🥴

Joaquin Caceres

Also side note about Jack’s comment at the end, Bryke are the credited writers for episode 1 and 6 of the live action and one of them did attend the premiere, so it seems there is still a working relationship to some degree

Anna

Kyoshi is exactly not the avatar you wanna face as an invading army

Anna

I think this episode was good.

Sasha

Chuck Norris, you can fight but can't talk.

Sasha

What do you mean?

Sasha

This was definitely an upgrade from the first one... But I bet Jack's demon time will continue😈

Sasha

Mckay's reactions with Suki were extremely relatable. Especially at 21:00😏

Sasha

i'm not angry i can just tell they're not really into it 💀❓ and just because you think korra is mid doesn't mean they will. their entire channel is about converting haters to shows so idk why you're mad that we want them to react to korra

Michelle

Because Roku has nothing to do with Kyoshi Island lol

Frizen

This show gets it dialed in by the finale - definitely worth sticking with it. The bending styles are all accurate and the visuals are phenomenal. Cast and crew are all major fans of the og and you can tell a lot of love went into it

Anna

I don't get why people are annoyed they're reacting to this but want a mid show like Korra instead lol

Matheus Eduardo Jezini

I don't mind it cause I'm not watching it by myself and I'm curious to see how it is lol

Matheus Eduardo Jezini

Nah, more Naruto pls.

Matheus Eduardo Jezini

This show sucks!

Liam

Can you guys watch korra instead 😢😢😢with maddy and Addie

Ash

Suki is the best part of the show tbh

Mitch

Veronia

+1 for 86

Still no 86?

Gatsu

LETS GO QUEEN MEL👑💜

Veronia

This has me dying lol

Studio Geck

We have been robbed of Sukis and Zukos Boiling Rock moment „Yeah you kinda burned down my city“ 😭

Jengit

Maybe we could do a poll on wherever people want this? Personally i am not interested in this a bit,especially the boys finishing the animation not long ago,with all the respect to the boys.

k; Guz

The weird thing about this remake to me is people will claim it's "darker and more mature" than the animated show, but the writing is more childish and overbearing in every single way. Same thing happened with Korra

CHIEF

Korra fans just baiting at this point, it's getting tired

CHIEF

This series will never work in live action IMO im amazed they even tried after how bad the last one was

Chuck Norris

I agree and they should replace it with Korra(which clears both versions of ATLA)

The Quadfather

but ep 6 of this show is really good! it was the only one i really liked

Michelle

y'all should react to korra instead with the atla crew

Michelle

i wonder why they decided to not include roku. i like suki’s actress though. i would’ve immediately started crying if a 7 foot lady was yelling at me like that lmao aang kept it together

Joydan Bri’an

Honestly despise this adaptation, with only a few exceptions o well

JustanAnus

We need a double HOTD drop plus the first 2 episodes of GOT. A quad episode drop to celebrate me being quadzilla and literally him.

The Quadfather

Ahh Carter you silly goose, not only did you mistype 'Naruto' in the title, you also uploaded the wrong reaction... classic

Lukash

i wouldn't mind if you guys dropped this ngl

Poragami

should be tomorrow

Poragami

I've been waiting for FMAB and didn't even consider that HOTD might drop soon. Crossing my fingers 🤞

Savannah

When’s the Korra reaction🤓

RipIsMySon
