    Ah, I never noticed as I always avoid trailers. I just watch the show and stop watching if it’s bad. And I try to leave a lot of room for artistic interpretation but tbh with avatar I didn’t end up needing it.

    Coming into it my main fear was that they’d misrepresent a character’s motivations, back story, or change some other pivotal thing that would disrupt the mood of the show. At the end of season one I just found myself wanting to watch the animated series again to compare the two some more.

    Idk, it’s perfectly fine to dislike a show and I enjoy exploring critiques (after I’ve seen the show in question), I am quite glad I was one of the ones who enjoyed it. The environments, the brooding, the constant fleeing and threat of the fire nation, uncle iroh, and I think they’re doing a good job representing the past avatars as conflicting figures who disagree on many things… and I can even see Zuko’s character decelopment (and azula…) coming together.
