Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)

Truly an attempt. but beating the look of the worst movie of all time isn't a big achievement. The appearance and action of this show is nearly perfect, but the writing and plot leave so much to be desired that I can't help but wonder why anyone would watch this instead of the perfection of the original cartoon. It's almost hard to sit through knowing how each impactful scene will be mangled by the exposition machines (sorry, characters). Aang freaking out about Monk Gyatso makes no sense if he already knows all the airbenders are dead and when learning that info, barely reacted. Katara doesn't even calm him down, he just has flashbacks of Monk Gyatso and stuff until he feels better. 0/10 writing, visuals get a 5/10 for managing to at least resemble the original show, but the original bending animations are such masterpieces that it still outshines this show. And they forgot to try with the script, so it's literally just having the plot spoken aloud most of the time instead of ever seeing any of it. no impact.
