They really messed up King Bumi


I’m not going to complain too much because they have been so spot on with 98% of the show but that really felt like one where the show runners said-we can’t just be a straight cover band we have to do our own arrangement.

My most pleasant surprise is they have made me love Iroh more than the original show (which he was my favorite character in the cartoon)


Overall I have to give it a 10/10 adaptation.

Things they did better:
They rose the stakes immediately with having the opening scene. You werent just told “the fire nation is bad” you saw it on screen.
Iroh was wise but primarily comic relief early on in the cartoon. In this he’s much more the wise sage to start out.

Things they did worse:
Bumi
Katarra is a little wooden
Secret tunnels scene

At least they didn't change Bumi's pit hair.

In this case they should have just done that. I've enjoyed this show and overall this it is good. That being said, Avatar is a fantastic story that does not need to be polished but just brought to life
