The Netflix live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender seems to completely misunderstand the themes of the original animated series. ✔ SUPPORT ✔▶Pa...

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.

    They left the kioshi warrior dress part out? Aw man, that was one of the most important moments for Sokka’s character. I never recognized that as drag before now.

      Yeah. I hated how they cut that part.

      They replaced Sokka’s character growth with teenagers wanting to fuck. (they even added a scene were both of them lie on top of each other while training and then blushing) 🙄
