My thoughts on the Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender series

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Did you watch anything interesting?

On Sunday, I watched the Avatar: The Last Airbender live action Netflix TV series. And you know what, it turned out to be a pretty good adaptation of the original series. The first season only has eight episodes, so they couldn't show everything such as not including a moment from one of my favorite episodes The Waterbending Scroll (season 1 episode 9). But I can watch that episode anytime. (Edit to add: For some reason, I totally overlooked Katara waterbending with the scroll. I guess next time I won't watch a show so early in the morning. Yes, I am currently re-watching this.)

I guess Sokka's tired of Aang and Katara lovey-dovey romance vibes and with Toph picking her nose. I can definitely agree with Sokka on the last issue, that's just gross but she doesn't care.

Aww, isn't this just adorable? I think this picture is very cute. Aang when he first got his good friend Appa, the sky bison. On the show I like how they didn't just treat Appa like he was nothing more than animal transportation. They actually showed that he was a real part of Team Avatar unlike in that horrible The Last Airbender movie.

Does anyone understand how they could have made such a horrible movie when they had the original material (the cartoon series) for research? Well, that's a discussion for a different post. Isn't this picture just the cutest?

I love the smile on Aang's face at the end of part 4 because despite being hurt he's really happy Katara's mad at Zuko.

In part 5, Sokka and Toph are hilarious with their plans to hurt Zuko. They didn't hear one word Katara said all they can think about is how bad they want to hurt the fire bender.
