Top Comments of this video!! :3
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.

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.

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.

I am so, so grateful for this video and comments section. The IMBD score, supposed Netflix trending status, and announcement of two more seasons all prompted sincere worry that my sister and I were the only people who saw the magnitudes of failure in this show; in everything from writing, to direction, to costume design. It's really vindicating to see that there are many others who see it too.
The only kind thing I can say about this show is that the set design is genuinely fantastic; the people behind designing and building them clearly had much more knowledge of and appreciation for the source material than anyone else working on this schlock.

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 “agni kai” is ozai brutally attacking and disfiguring his own child who is literally defenseless, outskilled, and refusing to fight
