re: Avatar: The Last Airbender | Live Action Discussion Thread |

I watched the animated series 2-3 years ago and it's one of the best TV stories I've watched in the last 5 years. Overall I'd say the Netflix version was good, but they really needed more than 8 episodes. If you drew up an outline of the first season from the animated series, I'd say they hit all of the main points, but that's all they did. It felt like it was missing some of the in between stuff that helps with the pacing of the story.

If this is going to be how they handle the entire series, I'd watch the animated version instead. For the people where animation is a deal breaker, this version is still a good show, but I'd give it a 4 stars instead of the 5 stars I'd give the animated series.
