Growing up as a woman, Katara was one of our ONLY positive representations of a strong girl who was also not only able to maintain empathy and emotion (something women and girls are belittled for) while being strong, but it often is what GAVE her strength. For them to completely strip her of that is just so telling of the story they were trying to tell and for who.

As someone who worked in TV development and left because it is run by soul sucking ghouls, I can almost assure you the reason the exposition is so repetitive and ineloquent and the characters are lacking flaws and are flat, is because some dumb executives didnât understand what they were reading when they got the first draft scripts because they didnât do their homework by watching the original series and wonât let the creatives cook. In notes sessions, they probably asked a bunch of questions (questions that get answered in time) and wanted to sound smart and like they had good notes so they told the writers to answer them sooner. Iâd say youâd be shocked at the lack of media literacy in those rooms, but studios and networks keep churning out shows and movies that are like this, so you already know. The writers strike showed us the state of the industry and how little higher ups value the work of creatives.

ALSO the thing that pissed me the fuck off the most was the fact that they robbed Katara of her "motherly" role in the group. In live action Sokka was said to be the one that takes care of her and he is a "father figure" to her when in cartoon it was such an important part of Katara's and even Sokka's arc that Katara was the one to act like a mother to Sokka at times. I hate that they robbed Katara of one of her main personality traits which is her sense of responsibility and maturity. She was forced to grow up too soon they completely ignored that.

the original zuko was also shown to not be the most naturally gifted firebender. he blunders when he tries to demonstrate his skills and azula one ups him. so the original âagni kaiâ is ozai brutally attacking and disfiguring his own child who is literally defenseless, outskilled, and refusing to fight

What really upsets me about this show, is that when I watched through all of the original animated series 2 summers ago my Dad used to walk in and take jabs at me for watching "a kids show" and I'd say its like the LOTR of kids shows but he wouldn't take interest.
So I was encouraged and surprised last month to come home and see him watching the Netflix show, the bio and visuals piqued his interest. I didn't mention that it was an adaptation and just let him watch it. I came back later and he had turned it off, when I asked why he said the writing was cheap and it didn't seem worth watching.
One of the best stories in TV and they couldn't even keep the audience they spent so much to attract. I hope he watches the original someday but its not likely.
