Twenty-one years after Avatar: The Last Airbender aired on Nickelodeon, and nearly eleven years after I made my series of reviews of it, I still consider this an untainted treasure, masterpiece, and overall exciting experience worth remembering and cherishing.

Hello dear friends of @MoviesTvShows, greetings and blessings, on this occasion I come to talk to you about a series that I loved very much, this live-action of a comic that I saw so long ago and that, although there were other live-action that tried to recreate it, I must say that this is the one that I liked the most and I feel that it has adapted very well to the essence of the story that I saw when I was a girl and that it brings back fond memories, it is about The Avatar: The Last Airbender or Avatar: The last airbender.

Hola queridos amigos de @MoviesTvShows, saludos y bendiciones, en esta ocasión vengo para hablarles sobre una serie que me encanto mucho, este live-action de una comiquita que vi hace tanto tiempo y que, aunque hubo otros live-action que intentaron recrearla, debo decir que esta es la que más me ha gustado y siento que se ha adaptado muy bien a la esencia de la historia que vi cuando era una niña y que gratos recuerdes me trae, se trata de El Avatar: La leyenda de Aang o Avatar: El último maestro de aire.

By 2010, M. Night Shyamalan, once hailed as the toast of Hollywood following smashing success of The Sixth Sense, became the punchline of the industry with a series of films that were collectively perceived as progressively worse. Despite his reluctance to yield to criticism, Shyamalan decided to deviate from his usual formula and adapt a popular source material: the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Unfortunately, the resulting film, The Last Airbender, became one of the most infamous flops of the previous decade and marked a new low for Shyamalan's career.
Set in a fantastical world influenced by various Asian mythologies, The Last Airbender introduces audiences to a realm where different tribes possess the ability to manipulate one of four elements: fire, water, earth, and air. The Fire Nation seeks to dominate the other nations, igniting war across the land. Central to the plot are Katara (played by Nicole Peltz) and her brother Sokka (played by Jackson Rathbone), members of the Southern Water Tribe who stumble upon Aang (played by Noah Ringer), a young boy from the Air Nomads who has been in hibernation for a century. Unbeknownst to him, Aang is the last surviving Airbender and potentially the Avatar—a figure capable of bending all four elements. This revelation makes him a target for General Iroh (played by Shaun Toub) and Prince Zuko (played by Dev Patel) of the Fire Nation, who are determined to capture him.
The ambition behind The Last Airbender was considerable; produced by Paramount Pictures with a substantial budget, it was initially conceived as the first part of a trilogy that would adapt each season of the original series. Although it achieved decent box office returns—grossing approximately $320 million against its $150 million budget—critical reception was overwhelmingly negative. Fans of the original series were particularly vocal in their disdain for Shyamalan's interpretation, leading to widespread derision and even multiple Razzies. In subsequent years, many involved distanced themselves from the project, highlighting its failure as a significant blemish on their careers.
Surprisingly, those who approach the film with an open mind might find it has some redeeming qualities. Shyamalan's direction seems to handle the large budget well, with decent CGI effects, interesting production design, and excellent cinematography by Andrew Lesnie that utilizes bright colors to bring the fictional world to life. In comparison to many similar fantasy blockbusters, the film's world appears vibrant and engaging.
However, Shyamalan made a critical error in his adaptation: he imposed an arbitrary runtime limit of 90 minutes on a story that deserved far more time for development. Attempting to condense the intricate narrative of an entire season into such a brief format resulted in significant shortcomings. Numerous characters were either omitted or inadequately developed, leading to glaring plot holes and unanswered questions. The film concludes with an unsatisfying cliffhanger that leaves viewers feeling frustrated rather than intrigued.
Compounding these issues was the film's reception within the context of contemporary political discourse. Critics seized upon what they perceived as “whitewashing,” arguing that casting white actors like Rathbone and Peltz in roles inspired by East Asian cultures was problematic. Despite Shyamalan being of South Asian descent and efforts made to include diverse casting choices within certain roles, these nuances were largely overlooked amidst the backlash. It is likely that more popular or respected directors such as Steven Spielberg or James Cameron would have gotten away with similar casting decisions.
While The Last Airbender is far from being classified as a good film, it remains watchable under certain conditions. The viewer's experience may heavily depend on their familiarity with the original animated series; for ardent fans, Shyamalan’s adaptation is likely perceived as sacrilegious. Conversely, those unacquainted with the source material might find value in its visual spectacle or ambition. If this film serves as an entry point for newcomers to explore Avatar: The Last Airbender, it may have fulfilled at least one aspect of its intended purpose.

Greetings my dear friends who love movies and television series.
Everyone, welcome to my publication, where this time I will be talking to you about the non-animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, a series that for me has been very amazing and entertaining.
I recently finished watching the first season and I'm already looking forward to having the opportunity to watch the second season when it premieres. I was so addicted to the series that I couldn't contain my desire to watch it in its entirety in one day (not that the first season is that long).
Saludos mis queridos amigos amantes de las películas y las series de televisión.
Sean todos bienvenidos a mi publicación, donde en esta ocasión les estaré hablando de la serie no animada de Avatar: La leyenda de Aang, una serie que para mí ha sido muy asombrosa y entretenida.
Hace poco termine de ver la primera temporada y ya ansió tener la oportunidad de ver la segunda temporada cuando se estrene, me vicio tanto la serie que no pude contenerme las ganas de verla completa en un día (tampoco es que sea tan extensa la primera temporada).
THE HISTORY
It is practically the same as the one that some of us know from its animated series, there are even people who barely knew it because they saw this series, but they did not see its animated version, which was the original and was the one that started the world of fantasy.
It all ended when the fire nation attacks
The story begins with Aang, a boy, let's say around the age of 15, perhaps, who has an enormous burden on his shoulders, to save humanity and stop the evil plans of the fire nation.
In the series there are 4 elements that make up the world, Wind, Water, Earth and Fire, who must maintain order with the world, it is like Ying and Yang, there cannot be much Ying and very little yang, everything is one balance, since they are the elements that make the world work, but the fire nation wants to dominate the entire world and conquer and destroy everything in its path to carry out its evil planes.
That's what Aang is for, whom we know as the Avatar for being able to control all the elements that make up the world.
LA HISTORIA
Es prácticamente la misma de la que algunos conocemos por su serie animada, incluso hay personas que apenas la conocieron porque vieron esta serie, pero no vieron su versión animada que era la original y fue la que le dio inicio al mundo de la fantasía.
Todo acabo cuando la nación del fuego ataco
La historia comienza con Aang, un niño digamos de una edad aproximada de 15 años talvez, quien tiene una enorme carga entre sus hombros, salvar a la humanidad y detener los malvados planes de la nación del fuego.
En la serie existen 4 elementos que conforman el mundo, Viento, Agua, Tierra y Fuego, quienes deben de mantener un orden con el mundo, es como el Ying y el Yang, no puede haber mucho Ying y muy poco yang, todo es una balanza, ya que son los elementos que hacen que el mundo funcione, pero la nación del fuego quiere dominar todo el mundo y conquistar y destruir todo lo que esté en su paso para lograr llevar a cabo sus malévolos planes.
Para eso está Aang, quienes lo conocemos como el Avatar por poder controlar todos los elementos que conforman el mundo.
Unrest is born from fire
The king of the fire nation called Ozai played by actor Daniel Dae Kim, has an immense thirst to conquer other continents and dominate the world, since being of said element, they have the need to dominate everything and turn it into ashes.
Fire is the most dangerous element until they face the water type, but their courage is so admirable that they even have the possibility of facing an entire kingdom of water, where the first season ends with a great war so admirable. I was very impressed with all the effects they added to turn the animated series into real life.
La intranquilidad nace del fuego
El rey de la nación del fuego llamado Ozai interpretado por el actor Daniel Dae Kim, tiene una sed inmensa de conquistar otros continentes y dominar el mundo, ya que por ser de dicho elemento, tienen la necesidad de dominarlo todo y convertirlo en cenizas.
El fuego es el elemento más peligroso hasta que se enfrentan con los del tipo agua, pero su valor es tan admirable que inclusive tienen la posibilidad de hacerle frente a todo un reino de agua, lugar donde termina la primera temporada con una gran guerra tan admirable que me quede muy impactado con todo los efectos que le agregaron para convertir la serie animada en la vida real.
The charismatic and in love of the group
We will meet 2 main characters apart from Aang (Gordon Cormier), we have Katara played by Kiawentiio and Sokka played by Ian Ousley.
As in the animated series, Katara is the only woman in the group and is the sister of Sokka, a master of the water element who accompanies our good friend Aang to save the world from chaos. Being a woman, she is insulted by other masters. of the water element, since according to the machismo of the man in this series, women only fulfill one purpose, to procreate and heal the wounds of men, something that she does not agree with and that she wants to become the first female warrior. of his element, being the admiration of many warriors of said nation of water.
Sokka is considered a very ingenious warrior, attractive to women for his charismatic personality (and who always leaves a crush along the way), he does not have abilities of the water element, and not everyone can possess those abilities unless they have a family member. with these powers, but in Sokka's case he is only considered a warrior, a man who will accompany Aang's team to protect them from the warriors they will face along the way.
El carismático y enamorado del grupo
Conoceremos a 2 personajes principales aparte de Aang (Gordon Cormier), tenemos a Katara interpretado por Kiawentiio y a Sokka interpretado por Ian Ousley.
Tal cual como en la serie animada, Katara es la única mujer del grupo y es hermana de Sokka, una maestra del elemento agua y que acompaña a nuestro buen amigo Aang para poder salvar el mundo del caos, siendo mujer, es injuriada por otros maestros del elemento agua, ya que según el machismo del hombre en esta serie, las mujeres solo cumplen con un propósito, procrear y sanar las heridas de los hombres, algo de lo que ella no está de acuerdo y que quiere convertirse en la primera mujer guerrera de su elemento, siendo la admiración de muchos guerreros de dicha nación del agua.
Sokka es considerado un guerrero muy ingenioso, atractivo para las mujeres por su carismática personalidad (y que siempre deja una enamorada en el camino), él no posee habilidades del elemento agua, y no todos pueden poseer esas habilidades a no ser que tengan un familiar con dichos poderes, pero en el caso de Sokka solo es considerado como un guerrero, un hombre que acompañara al equipo de Aang para protegerlo de los guerreros a los que se enfrentaran en el camino.
The prince of the fire nation and the voice of truth
In the series we will find two very important characters who always leave us a lesson, the first of them is the voice of truth called Uncle Iroh played by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, a man whom He only pursues his reason and in search of peace, but because he is the older brother of the king of the fire nation Ozai, he has no choice but to enjoy the almost endless trips with his nephew to forget the death of his wife, his advice is very admirable and every moment in which he appears, you know that they will be very exciting where this man with his words fills with tranquility, hope and respect.
The prince of the fire nation is Zuko played by dallas Liu, a young warrior of approximately 20 years old, a man who dedicates his life to hunting the avatar, since for Being the heir to the throne of the fire nation, he wants to prove to his father that he is capable of ruling. And although he does things that we will not agree with, he is a man who only does it because he has the appreciation of his father, since he was not a man to show affection or dedicate time to him because he was constantly involved in an endless war. . . Although his intentions are not entirely good, he has a big heart that only wants to be valued as a son.
El príncipe de la nación del fuego y la voz de la verdad
En la serie encontraremos a dos personajes muy importantes y que siempre nos deja una enseñanza, el primero de ellos es la voz de la verdad llamado Uncle Iroh interpretado por Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, un hombre al que solo persigue su razón y en busca de la paz, pero por ser el hermano mayor del rey de la nación del fuego Ozai, no le queda más remedio que disfrutar de los viajes casi interminables al lado de su sobrino para olvidar el fallecimiento de su esposa, sus consejos son muy admirable y cada momento en las que aparece, sabes que serán muy emocionantes donde este hombre con sus palabras llenan de tranquilidad, esperanza y respeto.
El príncipe de la nación del fuego es Zuko interpretado por dallas Liu, un joven guerrero de una edad aproximada de 20, un hombre al que le dedica su vida a la caza del avatar, ya que por ser el heredero al trono de la nación del fuego, quiere demostrarle a su padre de que está capacitado para gobernar. Y aunque haga cosas de las que no estaremos de acuerdo, es un hombre al que solo lo hace por tener el aprecio de su padre, ya que no fue un hombre de demostrarle cariño o dedicarle tiempo por estar todo el tiempo metido en una guerra interminable. Aunque sus intenciones no son del todo buenas, tiene un gran corazón que solo quiere ser valorado como hijo.
I loved the series a lot, in fact, I loved the first season more than the animated series, perhaps it is because of its spectacular fantasy effects in real life that make me love it so much, the very entertaining, fun and addictive story that Even if they continue as they are going, they will be able to turn this series into one of the best of the year, I hope that in its second season it will be the same or better.
I didn't want to reveal much about the series, just specific points so you have an idea of what you can find in it, if you haven't seen it yet, but I highly recommend it, if you like the fantasy genre with reality, you will be captivated . with the magnificent scenes it has, the effects, nature, elements, strength and drama.
The series is available on Netflix, it has a very good HD quality and with all the special effects they make it very epic.
It has had a very good reception on social networks, some criticize it, but for my tastes, I prefer fantasy more and having a certain similarity to the original story, even more so with such spectacular effects.
Thank you very much for coming this far in my publication, I hope you like it, until next time.
La serie me ha encantado mucho, de hecho, la primera temporada me encanto más que la de la serie animada, quizás sea por sus espectaculares efectos de fantasía en vida real que hacen que me encante tanto, la historia muy entretenida, divertida y adictiva que incluso si siguen así como van, podrán convertir de esta serie en una de las mejores del año, espero que en su segunda temporada sea igual o mejor.
No quise revelar mucho de la serie, solo puntos específicos para que tengas una idea de lo que pueden encontrar en ella, si aún no la has visto, pero la recomiendo mucho, si te gusta el género de la fantasía con la realidad, quedarás cautivado con las magníficas escenas que tiene, los efectos, la naturaleza, los elementos, la fuerza y el drama.
La serie se encuentra disponible en Netflix, tiene una calidad HD muy buena y con todos los efectos especiales la hacen muy épica.
A tenido una muy buena aceptación en las redes sociales, algunos la critican, pero para mis gustos, prefiero más la fantasía y que tenga cierta similitud al de la historia original, más aún con tan espectaculares efectos.
Muchas gracias por llegar hasta aquí en mi publicación, espero les sea de su agrado, hasta la próxima.

Avatar: Fascinating journey into the world of the four elements.
Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Netflix series inspired by the Nickelodeon animation, took me on an immersive adventure through fantasy lands full of magic and epic conflicts. Although the series has a childish air, it wins you over with its story of courage, friendship and balance.
>**Aang, a 12-year-old boy from the Air Nation, finds himself trapped in his destiny by the Avatar, the only one who can control all the elements: water, earth, air and fire. The Fire Nation, led by the ruthless Lord Ozai, seeks supremacy, threatening the fragile peace between the nations. Aang, accompanied by Katara, a waterbender, and Sokka, a resourceful warrior, embarks on a perilous journey to master his powers and save the world.**The series has a dual tone, oscillating between adulthood and childhood. On the one hand, it presents us with complex political conflicts, intense battle scenes and deep moral dilemmas. On the other hand, the childish humor, likable characters and light jokes make it accessible and fun for all ages.
**Special effects are impressive, bringing the fantasy world of Avatar to life. The nations are detailed, the elemental battles are spectacular, and the flying scenes of Aang on Appa, his flying bison, are jaw-dropping.**Yep😊 and the acting is exceptional. Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Lord Ozai, manages to perfectly convey the character's cruelty and authority. M. Night Shyamalan, the director of the series, deserves credit for his attention to detail and the way he brought the Avatar universe to life.
**Avatar: The Last Airbender is a perfect series for a relaxing evening full of magic and adventure. Although it has some downfalls, its gripping story, memorable characters and meaningful messages make it an unforgettable experience. I recommend watching it with family or friends to enjoy Aang's fascinating journey together.** ``` ``` * **The series has a fantastic soundtrack that will instantly transport you into the magical atmosphere of the world of Avatar. By the way, there is also an animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is worth watching if you want to delve into the universe created by Nickelodeon.**I can say that i liked it and I'm really looking forward to season 2. Yep ~ A perfect series for a relaxing escape from reality.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the series at the time it was released. There was talk everywhere about the new Avatar: The Last Airbender, and so I fought the urge to watch it because of the hype, scared of being disappointed. The animated series was special to me as a child.
And now, having finished the last episode of the series, I wish it didn't end yet and that they had reached the end of the entire story. I was having mixed feelings, however, and it was about certain parts of the film. I had expectations, surely; some were met and maybe surpassed, others not so much.
You see, I was so much of a nerd for the animated series back when it was all we had. And that means that I had a keen eye on almost everything that was done on the film because I valued the Avatar story so deeply and, in a way, was going to "look out for it."
"A young boy known as the Avatar must master the four elemental powers to save a world at war—aand fight a ruthless enemy bent on stopping him." [Google]
It had been a very long time since I watched the animated series. And, although I was going to "keep a close eye" on everything, I had really forgotten many things about the story of The Last Airbender. It was while I watched the episodes of the new series on Netflix that certain things started coming back.
The first episode of the film was very crucial. It had to either pass or fail. The origin story of The Last Airbender is something that the filmmakers needed to get right, as that is where it all started. And so when I went through the first episode and it felt "just right to me," I had a feeling that I was in for a ride.
For me, the story of how Avatar Aang became the last airbender, lived through 100 years, found a few people he would truly call friends, and met his arch nemesis was just the same in this live action series as it was in the animated series.
I had feared that Netflix making their own adaptation of the film was going to ruin it for me, considering that they have a thing wanting to appeal to a variety of ideologies, leading their stories from true context. Thankfully, however, they worked with Nickelodeon on it.
The filmmakers did well to translate things from the animated series to the live-action series in a way that maintains realism and originality, striking a graceful balance to keep the live-action enjoyable. For example, the bending we see in the live action is something to really appreciate for how it was portrayed—in an exciting and captivating way that stays true to the original.
There were only eight episodes in this first season of the live-action series. And because of that, the way the entire story is told is a bit different. The timeline wasn't exact, and it was as though some things were mixed up or compressed. It didn't matter much, though, as the story writers managed to maintain the important parts of the film, at least crucial for the story's development.
I like to think that the heart of the film lies within the characters and how connected they are to themselves. The character development was handled properly in this live-action film and accurately depicted in the animated series.
The actors in this film felt as though they were individually passionate about the project. Each one of them represented their characters with so much soul and excellence. I totally commend every single one of them.
Eight episodes were never going to portray the entire Last Airbender story, as expected. So we find the first season of the live action to end somewhere in the early parts of the main story. I had mixed feelings about that because that's around where previous live action by Paramount Studios in 2010 had stopped and never continued.
Thankfully, Netflix announced the renewal of the show for seasons 2 and 3. So we know that the film is going to continue with the story. My hope and expectation is that they maintain the energy at least.
The live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender by Netflix (in partnership with Nickelodeon) is a film to appreciate for how it strikes a balance between following the original story and keeping it entertaining. It's something that both longtime fans and new viewers would both enjoy. Definitely a 9/10.

This 2024 is full of many productions that have been released and others that are waiting to be released to the screens, such is the case of the new TV series, Avatar: The Legend of Aang, the Last Airbender. This was released this year, a production of adventure, fantasy and action, which was directed by Michael Goi and Roseanne Liang, and was developed by Albert Kim. Also working on this series were its creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. This series has a total of eight chapters, with a duration of between 42 and 60 minutes. It is a live action of the 2005 Nickelodeon animated series of the same name.
This is really a faithful adaptation to the anime, which is why it is relatively good for those of us who like the original animated series, although I must also say that I would have liked to see another approach to the story, that new things would be shown, although seeing the series it seems to me that other seasons will be released, since the ending was open for other installments. I don't really know if a second season was officially announced, what I am sure of is that I want to continue watching the story of Aang and his adventure to master the four elements (air, water, earth and fire), the task of the Avatar, according to the story, in order to give balance to the world and bring peace back.
Delving a little deeper into the plot for those who do not know the original story, who never saw the anime, this series tells us about Aang, a child airbender who was the only survivor of the airbenders. Aang is not only a master of one of the elements, but he is also the Avatar, the one who controls the four elements and as I said before, he controls the balance of the world to keep it in peace. But, the Fire Nation and its emperor, attacked the airbenders, eliminating them all, leaving only little Aang who disappeared after being trapped in an iceberg for 100 years. After his return and in the company of Katara and Sokka (both from the water nation), who become his faithful friends, accompanying him in his difficult mission. We also have Prince Zuko who is the antagonist of this first season, who was sent by his father, the emperor of the country of the game, to marry Aang.

Este 2024 está lleno de muchas producciones que se han estrenado y otras que están a la espera que ser lanzada a las pantallas, tal es el caso de la nueva serie de TV, Avatar: la leyenda de Aang, el último maestro aire. Esta salió este año, una producción de aventura, fantasía y acción, que fue dirigida por Michael Goi y Roseanne Liang, además que fue desarrollado por Albert Kim. En esta serie también trabajaron sus creadores Michael Dante DiMartino y Bryan Konietzko. Esta serie tiene un total de ocho capítulos, como una duración de entre 42 y 60 minutos. Es una live action de la serie animada de Nickelodeon de 2005, bajo el mismo nombre.
Realmente esta es una adaptación fiel al anime, razón por la cual es relativamente bueno para aquellos que nos gusta la serie animada original, aunque también debo decir que me fuese gustado ver otro enfoque de la historia, que se mostraran nuevas cosas, aunque viendo la serie me parece que saldrán otras temporadas, ya que el final fue abierto para otras entregas. No sé realmente si se anunció oficialmente una segunda temporada, lo que sí estoy seguro es que quiero seguir viendo la historia de Aang y su aventura para poder dominar los cuatro elementos (aire, agua, tierra y fuego), tarea del Avatar, según la historia, con la finalidad de darle un equilibrio al mundo y que la paz vuelva nuevamente.
Trama
Profundizando un poco en la trama para aquellos que no conocen de la historia original, que nunca vieron el anime, esta serie nos habla de Aang, un niño maestro aire que fue el único sobreviviente de los maestros aires. Aang no solo un maestro de uno de los elementos, sino que además es el Avatar, aquel que controla los cuatro elementos y como les dije anteriormente, controla el equilibrio del mundo para que este se mantenga en paz. Pero, la nación del fuego y su emperador, atacaron a los maestros aires, eliminándolos a todos, tan solo quedando el pequeño Aang quien desapareció tras quedar atrapado en un iceberg por 100 años. Luego de su regreso y en compañía de Katara y Sokka (ambos de la nación del agua), quienes se vuelven sus fieles amigos, acompañándolo en su difícil misión. También tenemos a Príncipe Zuko quien es el antagonista de esta primera temporada, quien fue enviado por su padre, el emperador del país del juego, a casar a Aang.
The plot of the series seemed good to me and of course, if I also liked the anime and being the adaptation so faithful, at least from what I remember, it can't be otherwise. But, this doesn't mean that it was perfect, since at times the scenes were very slow, with a lot of dialogue and less action, although it didn't end up ruining my experience. I agree that the adaptation should be as faithful as possible, but I would also like to see more explored in the stories of the main characters, to know more about the parents of Aang's friends, for example, how the airbenders were shown and how they were attacked, something that doesn't appear in the anime, at least that I remember. I must say that I saw the anime years ago and there are cases that I don't remember very well, so this Live action is quite good for me.
Several years ago there was also a movie (Live action) of Avatar, the last airbender, but everything focused more on the journey of Aang and his arrival to the great northern city (north pole) of the water nation and everything happens just like the anime, the same thing that happens with the series that came out in this 2024, although something in favor of this year's remake is that being a series of eight chapters, it had the opportunity to cover much more in the story, something that can not happen in a film of a little more than an hour and a half. In short, this series is a remake of the 2010 film, plus more scenes taken from the story of the animated series.
Something I liked about this animated series was the cast, since the actors are more similar to the anime than the 2010 movie, since in this remake Asian actors were used to play the characters with these features, because remember that the anime is Japanese. Aang in this TV series is played by Gordon Cormier, a Canadian actor of Filipino origin and who really fits the character very well, even I thought I was watching the anime. The same goes for Katara played by Kiawentiio and Sokka played by Ian Ousley. Actually, as for the main characters, the selection was the right one, since the actor Dallas Liu played the role of Prince Zuko and this was quite good for him. The series has a good amount of main, recurring and guest actors and actresses, each one does a good job with their characters, although we know that some are better than others. The cast work is pretty good, although I must say that it is not the best of the series, as some characters I connect enough, I believe what I'm seeing and in others not so much.
As for the photography, I can tell you that it is undoubtedly one of the best of this live action of Avatar, the last airbender. The cinematographers were Michael Balfry, Michael Goi and Stewart Whelan, doing a wonderful job, the places were very well recreated, all very much according to the anime and that is something in favor of the series and of which the fans of this story should be very happy, including myself. Another strong point of the series is the visual effects, they are really beautiful and more in a fantasy series, where the elements, fire, water, air and earth are used as a means of defense and attack, it really gives pleasure to see this production, a great improvement over the 2010 film. The visual effects were in charge of studio DNEG.

La trama de la serie me pareció bueno y como no, si el anime también me gustó y al ser la adaptación tan fiel, al menos de lo que recuerdo, no puede ser de otro forma. Pero, esto no quiere decir que haya sido perfecto, ya que por momentos las escenas se me hacían muy lentas, mucho diálogo y menos acción, aunque finalmente no terminó arruinando mi experiencia. Estoy de acuerdo en que la adaptación sea lo más fiel posible, pero también me fuese gustado que fuesen explorados más en las historias de los personajes principales, conocer más de los padres de los amigos de Aang como por ejemplo, tal como se mostró a los maestros aires y como fueron atacados, algo que no sale en el anime, al menos que recuerde. Debo decir que vi el anime hace año y hay casos que no recuerdo muy bien, así que este live action me cae bastante bien.
Hace varios años también había salido una película (Live action) de Avatar, el último maestro aire, pero todo se centró más en el viaje de Aang y su llegada a la gran ciudad del norte (polo norte) de la nación del agua y todo ocurre tal cual al anime, lo mismo que pasa con la serie que salió en este 2024, aunque algo a favor del remake de este año es que al ser una serie de ocho capítulos, se tuvo la oportunidad de abarcar mucho más en la historia, algo que no puede suceder en un filme de un poco más de una hora y media. En fin, esta serie es un remake de la película de 2010, además de más escenas tomadas de la historia de la serie animada.
Algo que me gustó de esta serie animada fue el cast, ya que actores son más parecidos al anime de lo que fue la película del 2010, puesto que el este remake se usaron actores asiáticos para interpretar los personajes con estos rasgos, porque recordar que el anime es japonés. Aang en esta serie de TV es interpretado por Gordon Cormier, un actor canadiense de origen filipino y quien realmente le queda muy bien el personaje, incluso me creía como que estaba viendo el anime. Lo mismo me ocurre con Katara interpretada por Kiawentiio y Sokka quien le dio vida Ian Ousley. Realmente en cuanto a personajes principales, la selección fue la adecuada, ya el actor Dallas Liu hizo el papel del Príncipe Zuko y este le quedo bastante bien. La serie tiene una buena cantidad actores y actrices principales, recurrentes e invitados, cada uno hace un buen trabajo con sus personajes, aunque sabemos que uno mejores que otros. El trabajo de cast está bastante bien, aunque debo decir que no es lo mejor de la serie, ya que algunos personajes conecto bastante, me creo lo que estoy viendo y en otras no tanto.
En cuanto a la fotografía, les puedo decir que sin lugar a dudas es de lo mejor de este live action de Avatar, el último maestro aire. Los encargados de la fotografía fueron Michael Balfry, Michael Goi y Stewart Whelan, realizando un maravilloso trabajo, los lugares estaban muy bien recreados, todo muy de acuerdo al anime y es que algo a favor de la serie y de la cual los fanáticos de esta historia deben estar muy contentos, incluyendo mi persona. Otro punto fuerte de la serie es los efectos visuales, realmente son hermosos y más en una serie de fantasía, donde se usa los elementos, el fuego, el agua, el aire y la tierra como medio de defensa y ataque, realmente da gusto ver esta producción, una gran mejora con respecto al film de 2010. Los efectos visuales estuvieron a cargo de estudio DNEG.
Regarding the soundtrack, it was involved in a certain movie, since Jeremy Zuckerman, who is the composer of the original animated series, was the one who was going to compose the soundtrack for the live action, but when the creators of the anime withdrew from the project, he decided to step aside. Finally, Takeshi Furukawa was in charge of the music for the remake series, doing a great job.
This live action of the animated series of Avatar, the legend of Aang or the last airbender, is a good series, where undoubtedly the fandom of the original animated series will enjoy the production, as it is very faithful to the story of the anime, the cast is very similar to the original characters, the setting, photography and visual effects are the best of this remake, very consistent with the times. We cannot fail to mention the music which is another strong point of the story. This is a reboot of the animated series taken to live action, it is nothing more than that, everything is very faithful, it may change or show new things that we have not seen before, but in general everything is quite similar to the anime. I would have liked to see new things, but I understand that this is aimed more at a new audience, those who have not seen the story of the last airbender. But well, those who have already seen it, also have the opportunity to see it again, but much improved in terms of visuals, this compared to the 2005 anime and the 2010 movie. Yes, I would have to give it a score, it would be a 7.5, the series is not perfect, but we can have a nice time watching it.

En lo que respecta a la banda sonora, esta estuvo envuelta en cierta película, ya que Jeremy Zuckerman quien es el compositor de la serie animada original, era quien iba a componer la del live action, pero cuando los creadores del anime se apartaron del proyecto, este decidió dar un paso al costado. Finalmente, Takeshi Furukawa fue quien se encargó de la música de la serie remake, haciendo un gran trabajo.
Opinión Final
Este live action de la serie animada de Avatar, la leyenda de Aang o el último maestro aire, es una buena serie, donde sin lugar a dudas el fandom de la serie animada original disfrutará mucho de la producción, ya que la misma es muy fiel a la historia del anime, el cast es muy parecido a los personajes originales, la ambientación, la fotografía y los efectos visuales son de lo mejor de este remake, muy acorde a los tiempos. No podemos dejar de mencionar la música que es otro punto fuerte de la historia. Este es un reinicio de la serie animada llevada al live action, no es más que eso, todo es muy fiel, puede que cambie o se muestre cosas nuevas que no hayamos visto antes, pero en general todo es bastante similar al anime. Me fuese gustado ver cosas nuevas, pero entiendo que esto va más dirigido a un nuevo público, aquellos que no hayan visto la historia del último maestro aire. Pero bueno, lo que ya la vimos, también tenemos la oportunidad de verla nuevamente, pero muy mejorada en cuanto a lo visual, esto en comparación al anime de 2005 y la película de 2010. Sí, tendría que ponerle una puntuación, sería un 7.5, la serie no es perfecto, pero sí podemos pasar un rato agradable al verla.

Just finished binge-watching the new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, and let me tell you, it's a must-watch! As a die-hard fan of the OG animated series, I was a bit skeptical at first, but this adaptation turned out to be a really fresh take on the beloved story.
First off, let's talk bending – the CGI and VFX work here is absolutely stunning! From the graceful waterbending to the powerful earthbending, every element comes to life in breathtaking detail. And don't even get me started on the Avatar State – talk about jaw-dropping!But what really sets this adaptation apart is the way it adds depth to the characters and storylines we know and love. Sure, there are some subtle alterations, but they only serve to enrich the narrative and keep us on the edge of our seats. Plus, seeing familiar faces like King Bumi, Jet, and Commander Zhao brought back all the nostalgia feels!
For those of you worried about how faithful this adaptation is to the original series, fear not! While it may take a few unexpected turns, it stays true to the heart and spirit of Avatar: The Last Airbender. And for newcomers to the world of the Avatar, this serves as a perfect introduction to the epic adventure that awaits.
My advice? Approach this adaptation with an open mind and let yourself be swept away by the Avatar universe. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Whether you're a longtime fan or a newbie, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
The Last Airbender. Netflix has truly outdone themselves with this adaptation, and I can't wait to see where the story goes next!
P.S I really loved that they screened the genoside of the Air nomads it added a lot of depth to the story.
I spent the last three days of last week binge watching this because it was so good. It's unlike Netflix to produce original and quality content as of late, but this was absolutely amazing. Here's why:
It's set up as a story for children and young teenagers. You can tell by watching the storyline it's not one with deep hidden meaning and complex emotional trauma, it's one where the simplest of storylines is told, but one that really works. It's about family, friends, and tough times.
You see, the world is at peace. For millienia the world has turned to an Avatar to guide the delicate balance of peace between nations so that everyone can survive in relative harmony. The world is split up into 4 elemental nations, each with their own skill and relevancy to the element they can wield, for example:
There is the fire nation, a fierce warmongering nation that can use the force of fire to cast asunder many of their enemies. Then there's the Earth nation who can use the forces of earth to shake any enemies feet from underneath them. And of course the Water nation, who can wield water in ways one could only imagine to fight with or to heal.
Then of course there is the air Nation which was taken by surpise by the fire nation at the beggining of the series because they knew the next Avatar would be an air bender and would only be a child. So they used the night they would be at their most powerful to attack the air nation when all their village elders would be in the same place, and destroyed them all.
Luckily our young Aang has been told that he was the Avatar the night before and was struggling to come to terms with the fact that he was destined to hold the responsibility of world peace and went to fly out on his sky bison to clear his head. He hadn't been gone for long when the fire nation decided to attack.
Aang flew over the sea, and it was extremely rough waters that night and they were taken down by some absolutely ferocious waves. That's when Aang's internal avatar kicked in and saved him. Encrusting him in a bright blue wall, saving him from the harsh waters.
100 years of fighting pass and two people from the water nation accidentally stumbled across Aang and didn't know what to do with him. They didn't know who or what he was so they took him back to the village elders to see what was up and what had been happening. Luckily the elders knew immediately who he was.
Just as Aang was coming together and trying to get his footing in this new world, and sadly realising everyone he knew everywhere had passed long ago, a lone fire nation boat happened to be in the vicinity, and it wasn't any random boat it was the prince of the fire nation who had been tasked with finding the avatar and had wandered the earth for several years trying to find who it was.
And thus from there we start an epic journey of family, betrayal, subterfuge, love and destiny. It's an epic fantasy saga, made for children but mostly anyone can watch it. Hell, I'm 43 and I loved every minute of it.
Definitely worth a watch if you like yourself a bit of fantasy now and again.

Desde hace algunos días quería retomar este tipo de contenidos más relacionado con las películas y series porque muy aparte de la fotografía y que me encanta la comida saludable una de mis grandes pasiones y algo que también estudié es todo lo que tenga que ver con lo audiovisual, y pensé que mejor manera de poder retomar este tipo de contenido sino con una serie como esta que me recuerda tanto a mi infancia adolescencia y que vi y reví tantas veces.
Since a few days ago I wanted to resume this type of content more related to movies and series because apart from photography and that I love healthy food one of my great passions and something I also studied is everything that has to do with the audiovisual, and I thought what better way to resume this type of content but with a series like this that reminds me so much of my childhood adolescence and that I saw and relived so many times.
Puedo confesar que como fanática de esta serie es un poco difícil mantenerme objetiva más sin embargo puedo decir que Netflix ha hecho muy buen trabajo con algunos puntos a tratar que no quedaron del todo bien, evidentemente hay que tomar en cuenta algo muy muy claro y es que esta es una adaptación live action es decir no es una fotocopia de la serie animada así que sí se toman ciertas atribuciones para ir llevando un ritmo bastante peculiar más sin embargo sigue siendo bastante fiel a lo que es la obra original.
I can confess that as a fan of this series is a little difficult to remain objective, however I can say that Netflix has done a very good job with some points to address that were not quite right, obviously we must take into account something very very clear and that is that this is a live action adaptation is not a photocopy of the animated series so they do take certain attributions to go carrying a rather peculiar pace but nevertheless remains quite faithful to what is the original work.
Entre las cosas que puedo destacar que me encantaron fue el diseño de apa y de Momo creo que las texturas y el diseño en general de ambos personajes estaban fantásticos más sin embargo habían algunas escenas donde se notaba el CGI y los ambientes o los fondos se veía muy fantasiosos es decir se veían demasiado irreales es como si no estuvieran del todo adaptados a la escena junto con el actor. Y hablando con el tema de las actuaciones una de mis actuaciones favoritas fueron o mejor dicho interacciones favoritas fueron entre los personajes o los actores que interpretan a Suko y a su tío de verdad que estos dos actores tenían una química en pantalla increíble y sus actuaciones para mí fueron de las mejores fueron fluidas memorables y los dos personajes estuvieron unos desarrollos maravillosos, por otro lado debo confesar que al actor que interpreta si bien es cierto no hizo una mala actuación yo siento que le faltó un poco más de impronta al igual que el actor que interpretó a soca siento que muchas ocasiones la actuación estaba un poco floja y le faltaba un poco más de presencia al igual que la actriz que interpretó a Katara muchas ocasiones si se destacaba pero en otras la actuación se sentía un poco atropellada y no sentí la misma química que se veía en la obra animada entre ellos qué bueno ellos son después de todos los coprotagonistas.
Among the things that I can highlight that I loved was the design of apa and Momo I think the textures and the overall design of both characters were fantastic but however there were some scenes where the CGI was noticeable and the environments or backgrounds looked very fanciful that is to say they looked too unreal it is as if they were not fully adapted to the scene along with the actor. And speaking on the subject of the performances one of my favorite performances were or rather favorite interactions were between the characters or actors who play Suko and his uncle really these two actors had an incredible chemistry on screen and their performances for me were the best were fluid memorable and the two characters were some wonderful developments, on the other hand I must confess that the actor who played the character, although it is true that he did not give a bad performance, I feel that he lacked a little bit more of imprint as well as the actor who played soca, I feel that many times the performance was a little weak and lacked a little more presence as well as the actress who played Katara, many times she stood out but in others the performance felt a little rushed and I did not feel the same chemistry that was seen in the animated play between them, what good they are after all the co-protagonists.
A couple of days ago and to my surprise Netflix released the serialization/live-action of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you don't know anything about this basically the original is anime/cartoon that aired through Nickelodeon in 2005. It had 3 seasons with 62 episodes in total and is considered one of the best and most anime/cartoons out there. To give you an idea it has a 9.3/10 in IMDb with over 350k reviews.
You can imagine how happy i was when i found out that there is a brand new series about it. Note that there was already a movie which was pretty bad. Now because NETFLIX has a woke agenda in my eyes, it tends to ruin mostly everything that already exists and the original content comes from books, anime, manga, novels etc. Thus, i had my concerns before i even watched it and my concerns were actually true to some extent.
So the plot is pretty straightforward and we have a universe where most of the people are part of a certain clan/kingdom let's say, based on some elements. We got the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe and the Airmonks. Basically, as the name suggests each nation/tribe/clan has an affinity towards an element. That means that in each of these nations, a lot of people have let's say powers to control the relevant Element.
To be more specific, the Fire Nation can manipulate fire, the Water Tribe can manipulate water and other forms of it like Ice and the list goes on. Ofc not everyone can manipulate the elements and even those that do so need the practice to get better. One set rule though, is that nobody can use more than 1 main element, except one person in the world, the AVATAR.
The Avatar is let's say a random person with a pure heart and such, that has the ability to learn how to use every element. Not only that but he/she has a special connection with all the past Avatars who somehow live inside of him. Also, the Avatar position is like a rotation role, that each time a human from a different nation would be deemed as the next one!
This time the Avatar in line is a young boy called Aang an Airbender who through a storm gets stuck in ice for 100 years. At the same time when that same storm occurs, the Fire Nation attacks the Airbender monks and basically kills all of them. 100 years later Katara and Sokka two teens from the water tribe find Aang who wakes up from his sleep and tries to figure out what's going on.
Apparently, the Fire Nation rules the world and only some strongholds remain. Aang along with his new friends embarks on a journey to learn more about the world, to find people that would train him and teach him how to use the other elements and ofc stop the war and win over the fire king.
First of all, there are 8 episodes out there and ofc there will be a 2nd season, most likely. The setting, the aesthetics the CGI and everything related to these is honestly spot on. They did a freaking amazing work and even the use of any of the elements seems quite real. Kudos to the team behind it once again.
Another great thing is the acting. Most of the actors did a great job, they seem to be genuinely interested in providing a great experience to the viewers and most of them look alike to cartoon/anime ones. Because we are talking about NETFLIX though they need to add some wokeness and ruin some things just for the sake of it.
On the one hand, we have characters that look almost identical and even have a lot of easter eggs like the cabbage guy who is basically the actual voice actor himself. On the other hand, we have characters like Azula and Mei who look like failed cosplayers. Bumi and Iroh are great though!
What the show lacks though is character development which is extremely stupid given that you actually have a source. Literally, you have everything you need already, you simply need to copy/paste and mission accomplished. I don't get why this is happening always.
Zuko's character has way more depth than what we see, Sokka even though the actor is doing great work if you check the cartoon/anime he is so much more. For example, you see him joking and making fun of women all the time. He may even seem "sexist" which is why i believe NETFLIX didn't show that aspect, but the actual truth is more complicated.
You see Sokka needed to act as a Leader and protector of his tribe from a young age. He also has a younger sister Katara who loves and feels his responsibility to protect her at every cost. That's why he doesn't want his little sister and all the girls to fight, maybe to have more survival chances than the boys. Through the cartoon/anime and Sokka traveling the world meeting strong women and at the same time watching his sister becoming stronger and braver, he gets to completely change his mind and respect women more than anything. Do you see it now? Do you see how stupid people on Netflix are?
Finally, even though i can say a lot more i will say only one thing that i didn't like. Katara in the series seems better than Aang. She receives zero training and through a scroll, she basically learns how to even use ice, while Aang who is the freaking Avatar doesn't learn anything new. Ofc in the cartoon/anime Katara undergoes training multiple times and ofc she gets better and better.
Overall, in my eyes, it is a decent attempt but we need more, way more. I would probably give it a 6.5-7/10 max and if the same continues in season 2 i would maybe drop my rate to 6. One of the things that made a lot of people get hooked on the anime/cartoon is the deep character development of almost every main character, something we don't actually see through Netflix. I would strongly suggest watching the anime/cartoon if you have the time!

The world has broken its balance; peace and coexistence were crushed by the wickedness of a single nation. Fire has succumbed to hope and freedom, while the master airs have been wiped from the face of the earth. The great genocide!
El mundo ha roto su balance, la paz y la convivencia fue aplastada por la maldad de una sola nación. El fuego ha sucumbido la esperanza y la libertad, mientras que los maestros aires han sido borrados de la faz de la tierra. ¡El gran genocidio!

Netflix has gone for a new Live Action, and the truth is that the plot of the eight-episode The Last Airbender has favorable points that cause or provoke you to watch it. I will initially disagree with my friend @soldierofdreams about the fact that the series is a failure and is totally bad. This consideration I will argue here little by little. I also can't deny that there are elements that are not good, but the series is not a total failure.
For as long as I can remember, I have read thousands of manga and manhwas and watched a lot of anime of different genres. Avatar is no exception, and I want to highlight the magic of the story that Netflix decided to bring to the screens.
The first element I must highlight is the "Universe", The story divides the world into four big Nations: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Each of these nations was aesthetically very well crafted. The photography is good, the scenery is all too realistic, and the science fiction is of very high quality. You don't need to be told which nation is the Air or Water Nation, you'll be able to tell just by looking at it.
Another feature of this overly realistic universe are iconic anime figures, such as Appa the flying bison from Avatar Aang. Appa's adaptation is perfect; he is beautiful and feels real. Yes, you feel his fur, and you feel like you're flying over him. The same goes for Momo (a kind of winged lemur), who is notable in the story for his kindness and mischief. Both animals, which are very important characters in the story, were developed very well. The work is impeccable.
Netflix ha apostado por un nuevo Live Action, y la verdad es que la trama de The Last Airbender de ocho episodios posee puntos favorables que causan o provocan verla. Discreparé inicialmente con mi amigo @soldierofdreams sobre el hecho de que la serie es un fracaso y es totalmente mala. Esta consideración la argumentaré poco a poco acá. Tampoco puedo negar que existen elementos que no son buenos, pero la serie no es totalmente un fracaso.
Desde que tengo uso de razón he leído miles de mangas, manhwas y he visto mucho anime de diferentes géneros. Avatar no es la excepción y quiero resaltar lo mágico de la historia que Netflix decidió llevar a las pantallas.
El primer elemento que debo resaltar es el “Universo”, la historia divide al mundo en cuatro grandes Naciones: Aire, Agua, Tierra y Fuego. Cada una de estas naciones fue estéticamente muy bien elaborada. La fotografía es pulcra, el escenario es demasiado realista y la ciencia ficción es de muy alta calidad. No es necesario que te digan cuál es la Nación del Aire o Agua, lo notarás simplemente al verlo.
Otra de las características de éste universo demasiado realista son figuras icónicas del anime, cómo lo es Appa el bisonte volador del Avatar Aang. La adaptación de Appa es perfecta, es hermosa y se siente real. Sí, sientes su pelaje y que estás volando encima de él. Lo mismo sucede con Momo (una especie de lémur alado) que es notable en la historia por su bondad y travesuras. Ambos animales, que son personajes importantísimos en la historia, fueron desarrollados muy bien. El trabajo es impecable.

There are two important things I must highlight from that same "Universe": the level of architecture and urbanism of the earth realm of Omashu and the southern Air Temple, and the second is the spirit world, which has a high level of realistic adaptation.
Another aspect of the series that I must highlight is the sensitivity of the dualistic message; that is, the anime reflects a strong value for friendship, which is maintained in the Netflix-adapted series. Even despite the warning that friendship is a burden for all the Avatars he converses with, Aang in his spiritual state. The plot prioritizes friendship at its core, at the beginning and at the end. That makes it connect with the viewer.
Hay dos cosas importantes que debo resaltar de ese mismo “Universo”; es decir, el nivel de arquitectura y urbanismo del reino tierra de Omashu y del Templo Aire del sur, y el segundo es el mundo de los espíritus, que posee un nivel alto de adaptación realista.
Otro aspecto que debo resaltar de la serie es la sensibilidad del mensaje dualista, o sea, el anime refleja un gran valor por la amistad y eso se mantiene en la serie adaptada por Netflix. Incluso a pesar de la advertencia de que la amistad es una carga de todos los Avatars con los que conversa, Aang en su estado espiritual. La trama prioriza la amistad como esencia, al inicio y al final. Eso hace que conecte con el espectador.
The other message the series contains is the way in which we can change our destiny. Aang is the avatar, must protect the world, and is guilty of shirking his responsibility, but the way he wishes to live is not the same as his predecessors. Therefore, he must not follow his predecessors' actions. The same happens with Katara when, in the Northern Water Nation, she is forbidden to learn the techniques of water bending, and she opposes it by teaching a great lesson.
Now I have come to a really debatable point. This is the drama of the series; that is, the tone that characterizes it. Netflix didn't really retain the identity of the main character, and that creates a very big disconnect. Although, in the moments where actor Gordon Cormier smiles, you get a glimpse of the anime's Aang; however, there is an over-emphasis on maturity that the character doesn't originally possess.
El otro mensaje que contiene la serie es la manera en la que podemos cambiar nuestro destino. Aang es el avatar y debe proteger el mundo y es culpable de evadir su responsabilidad; pero la manera en la que él desea vivir no es la misma que la de sus predecesores. Por ende, él no debe seguir sus mismos actos. Lo mismo sucede con Katara cuando en la Nación del Agua del Norte le prohíben aprender las técnicas de agua control y ella se opone enseñando una gran lección.
Ahora he llegado a un punto realmente debatible. Éste es el dramatismo de la serie; es decir, el tono que la caracteriza. Netflix realmente no conservó la identidad del personaje principal, y eso genera una desconexión muy grande. Aunque, en los momentos donde el actor Gordon Cormier sonríe, te hace ver al Aang del anime; sin embargo, existe un excesivo rol de madurez que el personaje originalmente no posee.

Aang in the anime is learning little by little. It is true that he is much more mature than other 12-year-olds because he is a monk, but it is not to the extreme. The series chose to suppress the comedy and the identity of the main character, and that overshadows all the favorable elements of the story. The reason is that Gordon Cormier is the main character; therefore, he must connect with the audience.
What I mean is that Gordon Cormier's performance, although excellent, does not possess the identity of the character that the fans have seen. If I compare this to Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Luffy certainly retained his character's essence of comedy and attraction. Something that made it unnecessary for a person who had never read or seen One Piece to criticize or, indeed, feel a barrier of connection to the character.
It's hard to believe that a child has a high degree of maturity, despite the fact that he must save the world from war.
Would you recommend the series? I would; it's a very well-crafted series that retains a high degree of identity from the original story. In particular, I didn't plan to watch it because I didn't have high expectations, but I liked the universe, and I'm looking forward to the second season to see how Netflix recreates Ba Sing Se (the capital of the Earth Kingdom Nation) and the great library of Wan Shi Tong.
Aang en el anime va aprendiendo poco a poco, es cierto que es mucho más maduro que otros niños de 12 años debido a que es un monje, no es al extremo. La serie optó por suprimir la comedia y la identidad del personaje principal y eso opaca todos los elementos favorables de la historia. La razón es que Gordon Cormier es el personaje principal, por ende, debe conectar con el público.
Lo que quiero decir es que la actuación de Gordon Cormier a pesar de ser excelente, no posee la identidad del personaje que los fans han visto. Si comparo esto con Iñaki Godoy como Monkey D. Luffy, éste sin lugar a dudas conservó la esencia de comedia y atracción característica de su personaje. Algo que no hacía necesario que una persona que nunca había leído o visto One Piece podría criticar o, en efecto, sentir una barrera de conexión con el personaje.
Es difícil creer que un niño tenga un alto grado de madurez a pesar de que él debe salvar el mundo de la guerra.
¿Recomendaría la serie? En lo particular lo haría, es una serie muy bien trabajada y que conserva un alto grado de identidad de la historia original. En lo particular, no pensaba verla debido a que no tenía muchas expectativas, pero me gustó el universo y estoy expectante a la segunda temporada para ver como Netflix recrea Ba Sing Se (capital de la Nación del Reino Tierra) y la gran biblioteca de Wan Shi Tong.

Le tengo un enorme temor a las adaptaciones que, tras un éxito arrollador, le hacen a libros, videojuegos o series animadas. Algunas adaptaciones tienen mucho éxito, como es el caso de The Last of Us o Game of Thrones, pero otras, con el perdón de la palabra, son una auténtica basura. Parece que algunas productoras no escatiman en arruinar obras originales solo para "convencer a las masas" con una supuesta visión más cinematográfica, en la que reinan desarrollos creativos muy pobres o producciones bastante ambiguas.
La última obra que menos deseaba volver a ver en Live Action, fue Avatan: The Last Airbender. Es que, tras la adaptación cinematográfica que trajo consigo la película de Night Shyamalan, hasta para el más optimista puede ser imposible rescatar la esperanza de una encarnación humana esgrimida del aquel éxito animado de Nickelodeon. Al fin de cuentas, el resultado no es tan diferente.
I have a huge fear of the adaptations that, after an overwhelming success, are made to books, videogames or animated series. Some adaptations are very successful, as in the case of The Last of Us or Game of Thrones, but others, if you'll excuse the word, are absolute garbage. It seems that some production companies do not skimp on ruining original works just to "convince the masses" with a supposedly more cinematic vision, where very poor creative developments or rather ambiguous productions reign.
The last work that I least wanted to see again in Live Action was Avatan: The Last Airbender. After the film adaptation that Night Shyamalan's movie brought with it, even for the most optimistic it may be impossible to rescue the hope of a human incarnation of that Nickelodeon animated hit. In the end, the result is not so different.
Comenzaré por la fidelidad de este Live Action con respecto a la serie. Hubo un mayor esfuerzo por preservar algunas características de los personajes principales, las naciones elementales, los espíritus y el universo completo. No obstante, en el proceso terminaron por echar a la borda la complejidad que caracterizó cada uno de estos elementos. Sentí que la serie era bastante robótica, con situaciones trilladas que, de alguna forma u otra, fueron insoportables. No pude estar mirando los episodios sin pensar en la simpleza de las actuaciones o la falta de carisma que de estas se desprendían. No sentí conexión con nada, salvo uno que otro momento en el que dije:
"Vale, esto sí pasó en la serie animada, pero..."
Pero me seguía sin gustar. Odié las partes que obviaron y otras que incluyeron. ¿Aang bailando en el aire en la primera escena de la película? Lo odié mucho, XD. Los vestuarios parecían los de una comedia Sitcom: algo en estos no me gustó del todo. Entiendo que llevar a Live Action una serie animada puede ser dificil, pero siempre recuerdo el fenómeno The Last of Us: de alguna forma, no puede ser siempre la excusa.
I'll start with the fidelity of this Live Action with respect to the series. There was a greater effort to preserve some characteristics of the main characters, the elemental nations, the spirits and the entire universe. However, in the process they ended up jettisoning the complexity that characterized each of these elements. I felt the series was rather robotic, with trite situations that were somehow or other unbearable. I couldn't be watching the episodes without thinking about the simplicity of the performances or the lack of charisma that came from them. I felt no connection to anything, except for the occasional moment where I said:
"Okay, this did happen in the animated series, but...".
But I still didn't like it. I hated the parts they left out and other parts they included. Aang dancing in the air in the first scene of the movie? I really hated that, XD. The costumes looked like Sitcom costumes: something about these didn't quite sit right with me. I understand that bringing an animated series to Live Action can be difficult, but I always remember The Last of Us phenomenon: somehow, it can't always be the excuse.
La trama de esta primera temporada se enfoca en el libro del agua, aunque con algunos elementos del libro tierra. Estos "libros" funcionan en la serie animada como interludios a la historia, dividida en un total de 61 episodios, suficiente material como para esbozar una adaptación elegante y astuta. Albert Kim es quien se encarga de dirigir este proyecto de Netflix que, hasta ahora, le ha quedado bastante grande, al menos a mí parecer.
Y es que, con una historia tan compleja y un universo tan rico, es bastante difícil permanecer fiel a una obra animada que mantuvo el entusiasmo en su época. Sobre todo, se necesita bastante ingenio para no alterar la trayectoria de una obra que cautivó en su versión original. A la adaptación de Netflix le faltó más carisma, más lógica de fidelidad. Los guiños no fueron suficientes, los efectos especiales tampoco. Al fin y al cabo, solo encontré otra decepción que terminó por ayudarme decidir no volver a ver la serie, a menos que (y lo dudo) retome un camino más ingenioso en su segunda temporada.
The plot of this first season focuses on the water book, although with some elements of the earth book. These "books" function in the animated series as interludes to the story, divided into a total of 61 episodes, enough material to outline an elegant and clever adaptation. Albert Kim is in charge of directing this Netflix project that, so far, has been quite big for him, at least in my opinion.
And is that, with such a complex story and such a rich universe, it is quite difficult to remain faithful to an animated work that kept the excitement in its time. Above all, it takes quite a bit of ingenuity not to alter the trajectory of a work that captivated in its original version. Netflix's adaptation lacked more charisma, more logic of fidelity. The winks were not enough, neither were the special effects. In the end, I only found another disappointment that ended up helping me decide not to watch the series again, unless (and I doubt it) it resumes a more ingenious path in its second season.
Esperé más al ver mis personajes favoritos encarnados: no me gustó para nada el personaje de Azula, que en mi infancia y ahora en mi adultez sigue siendo mi gran favorito. No hubo inclusión forzada, por esa parte fue un alivio no ver a un Aang afroamericano, no por ser racista, sino porque en estos tiempos tan Woke, ya nada es imposible para que las industrias facturen millones por ese marketing inclusivo. De todos modos, Netflix no logró convencerme. Así que, me sigo quedando con la versión animada, la cual confieso, dudo que pueda alguna vez ser llevada con éxito a la encarnación humana, a menos que sea desarrollada por Craig Mazin. LOL.
¿Ya viste Avatar: The Last Airbender?
Por supuesto, te recomiendo verla en caso de que no lo hayas hecho y sacar tus propias conclusiones. No todos podemos tener la misma percepción y gustos, por lo que quizás a ti te guste o te parezca fantástica. Si viste la versión original, hallarás varios guiños y algunas conexiones más coherentes, aunque para mí, no lograron rescatar la obra en general.
I expected more when I saw my favorite characters incarnated: I didn't like Azula's character at all, who in my childhood and now in my adulthood is still my great favorite. There was no forced inclusion, for that part it was a relief not to see an African American Aang, not to be racist, but because in these times so Woke, nothing is impossible anymore for industries to bill millions for that inclusive marketing. Anyway, Netflix failed to convince me. So, I'm still sticking with the animated version, which I confess, I doubt can ever be successfully brought to human incarnation, unless it's developed by Craig Mazin. LOL.
Have you seen Avatar: The Last Airbender yet?
Of course, I recommend you watch it in case you haven't and draw your own conclusions. We can't all have the same perception and tastes, so maybe you like it or think it's fantastic. If you saw the original version, you will find several winks and some more coherent connections, although for me, they didn't manage to rescue the work in general.
Avatar la Leyenda de Aang es una historia que me ha llamado la atención desde hace décadas en su versión animada producida en Nickelodeon la cual nunca he podido ver a plenitud y grata para mi fue la noticia que ayer 22 de Febrero de 2024 se estreno en Netflix su versión Live Action la cual ni sabia iban estrenar.
Es de esas sorpresas que alegran el alma porque me dije a mi mismo que Ha Llegado mi Momento de disfrutar a plenitud de esta historia sin estar contaminado por la versión de Nickelodeon la cual he escuchado a muchos fans de esa versión decir es lo mejor que existe en el mundo lo cual pienso no es así porque noto tiene sus puntos solidos a criticar los cuales contaminan esta serie.
He disfrutado de este primer episodio como un niño pero aquello que conversaba con fans de la versión animada de Nickelodeon lo cual veía como fallo de guion lo he confirmado al verlo en esta serie... Los Maestros Aire son Débiles y afecta estructuralmente la base argumental de la historia, ampliare esta opinión a detalle en la zona con spoilers.
Avatar the Legend of Aang is a story that has caught my attention for decades in its animated version produced on Nickelodeon which I have never been able to see to the fullest and pleasant for me was the news that yesterday February 22, 2024 was released on Netflix its Live Action version which I did not even know they were going to release.
It is one of those surprises that gladden the soul because I said to myself that It's my time to fully enjoy this story without being contaminated by the Nickelodeon version which I have heard many fans of that version say is the best thing in the world which I think is not so because I notice it has its solid points to criticize which contaminate this series.
I have enjoyed this first episode like a kid but what I was talking about with fans of the Nickelodeon animated version which I saw as a script flaw I have confirmed it in this series.... The Airbenders are Weak and it structurally affects the plot basis of the story, I will expand this opinion in detail in the spoiler zone.
De resto la serie es una genialidad, la precisión del cast elegido hace que para mi la historia sea fluida y nombrare un ejemplo que es el personaje llamado Príncipe Zuko interpretado por Dallas Liu.
En mi mente me traslade a los años 2000 cuando veía en propagandas de Nickelodeon la serie animada de Aang porque es idéntico a esa versión, es casi que tomar la comiquita y volverlo un humano real, quede sorprendido gratamente con el cast, trabajo de maquillaje y vestuario para llevar la comiquita a un personaje real de carne y hueso.
Otherwise the series is a genius, the accuracy of the cast chosen makes the story for me is fluid and I will name an example that is the character called Prince Zuko played by Dallas Liu.
In my mind I went back to the 2000's when I saw in Nickelodeon commercials the animated series of Aang because it is identical to that version, it is almost like taking the cartoon and turn it into a real human, I was pleasantly surprised with the cast, makeup and costume work to bring the cartoon to a real character of flesh and blood.
Una crítica que quiero destacar es que la música no me dejo nada, a momentos de escribir este post, el primer episodio no dejo en mi mente ninguna melodía que tararear felizmente como si me ha sucedido en otros productos que he reseñado.
Serie que con todo lo anterior mencionado considero recomendable totalmente con un poderoso 8 chiquitos de 10 como puntuación porque me da una historia que al fin luego de décadas conoceré y que me entretiene con danzas de batalla adornadas con el uso de elementos naturales.
One criticism I want to highlight is that the music did not leave me anything, at the time of writing this post, the first episode did not leave in my mind any melody to hum happily as if it has happened to me in other products I have reviewed.
Series that with all the above mentioned I consider totally recommendable with a powerful 8 out of 10 as a score because it gives me a story that finally after decades I will know and that entertains me with battle dances adorned with the use of natural elements.
Doy comienzo a la zona con spoilers, Los Maestros Aire control se reúnen y son aplastados, humillados, masacrados por un ejercito del fuego que deja mucho que desear, tiene momentos batalla que resaltan, pareciera que los del Aire dominan pero el poder del guion les humilla, los derrota porque con una simple línea de dialogo barata que es El Recurso Cometa pues todos perecen.
Carece de lógica lo que nombro, este evento no puede ser una masacre, falla toda la base argumental de esta historia, No es culpa de la Serie, es fallo del material original del cual toma base porque lo que me muestran como Ejercito del Fuego pues yo los veo como otros soldaditos mas y claro al ver a esos soldados del fuego de esa manera, terminan decepcionándome todos los maestros aire al ser derrotados tan fácilmente.
Dedicado todos y cada uno de mis post y videos a mi perrita llamada princesa que la llamábamos chiquito que ya no está con nosotros pero desde el cielo verá que su existencia SI fue valiosa y lo más hermoso que existirá en mi corazón y alma.
The Airbenders meet and are crushed, humiliated, massacred by an army of fire that leaves much to be desired, it has moments of battle that stand out, it seems that the Airbenders dominate but the power of the script humiliates them, defeats them because with a simple line of cheap dialogue that is The Comet Resource they all perish.
It is not the fault of the Series, it is the fault of the original material from which it is based because what they show me as the Fire Army, I see them as just another little soldiers and of course when I see those fire soldiers in that way, I end up being disappointed with all the air masters when they are defeated so easily.
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, fue una de las mejores animaciones occidentales que disfruté en mi niñez. La comencé a ver cuando se estrenó su segunda temporada, concebida como el "libro tierra", y aunque conocía muy poco el orden de su argumento, pude engancharme fácilmente a la historia de Aang, el último maestro aire que, además, es el Avatar: el elegido cuya principal tarea es mantener la paz en el mundo dominando los cuatro elementos: agua, tierra, fuego y aire.
Tras varios maratones en Nickelodeon, pude agarrar el hilo de los acontecimientos que dieron origen a la aventura de Aang y sus amigos Sokka, Katara, Toph, Momo el mono volador y Appa el bisonte volador. El mundo que el avatar debe defender está en una guerra que ha durado 100 años, y que libera la nación del fuego contra las tribus de la nación del Agua y las fortificaciones de la nación Tierra. La nación del aire ha sido destruida por completo... pero el último del linaje, Aang, despertó de un siglo de haber estado atrapado en un iceberg.
Esta fue la mítica aventura que endulzó la infancia de muchos, y que, próximamente, volverá de la mano de Netflix tras un rotundo fracaso en el Live Action que guio Night Shyamalan en el 2010. ¿Se repetirá la historia? Eso está por descubrirse.
Live Action is the headache of successful animations for a whole generation...
Avatar: The Last Airbender, was one of the best western animations I enjoyed in my childhood. I started watching it when its second season was released, conceived as the "earth book", and although I knew very little about the order of its plot, I could easily get hooked on the story of Aang, the last airbender who is also the Avatar: the chosen one whose main task is to maintain peace in the world by dominating the four elements: water, earth, fire and air.
After several marathons on Nickelodeon, I was able to grasp the thread of events that gave rise to the adventure of Aang and his friends Sokka, Katara, Toph, Momo the flying monkey and Appa the flying bison. The world that the avatar must defend is in a war that has lasted 100 years, which liberates the Fire Nation against the tribes of the Water Nation and the fortifications of the Earth Nation. The Air nation has been completely destroyed... but the last of the lineage, Aang, awoke from a century of being trapped in an iceberg.
This was the mythical adventure that sweetened the childhood of many, and that, soon, will return in the hand of Netflix after a resounding failure in the Live Action that Night Shyamalan guided in 2010. Will history repeat itself? That remains to be discovered.
Cuando se estrenó el Trailer Oficial de Avatar: The Last Airbender tuve emociones encontradas; una especie de nostalgia con respecto a los personajes, la banda sonora y algunos paisajes. Creo que los creadores de esta nueva apuesta de Netflix intenta apegarse a los recursos de la animación original en la medida de lo posible. Esto es bastante complejo, todavía más si se considera a los fans más fieles. Podría decir yo que, en definitiva, no me gusta que arruinen una gran historia con malos Live Actions, cosa que ya ha pasado y nos ha llenado a muchos de la terrible decepción.
Creo que el acierto con One Piece fue los guiños hilarantes al anime, y por supuesto, fue lo que terminó por darle el éxito que todos conocemos. Con Avatar: The Last Airbender parece que la historia se repetirá. Algunas cosas, sin embargo, ya han hecho ruido. Por ejemplo, personajes como Katara se han visto envueltos en la controversia por su color de piel, que es más claro que en la versión original. Más allá de eso, pienso que esto no definirá la serie. Lo que importa, en todo caso, es que pueda ser tan buena, entretenida y épica como aquella animación que se estrenó en el 2005.
Netflix bets on fidelity... to a certain extent.
When the Official Trailer of Avatar: The Last Airbender was released I had mixed emotions; a kind of nostalgia regarding the characters, the soundtrack and some landscapes. I think the creators of this new Netflix bet tries to stick to the resources of the original animation as much as possible. This is quite complex, even more if you consider the most loyal fans. I could say that, in short, I do not like that they ruin a great story with bad Live Actions, something that has already happened and has filled many of us with terrible disappointment.
I think the success with One Piece was the hilarious winks to the anime, and of course, that's what ended up giving it the success we all know. With Avatar: The Last Airbender it looks like history will repeat itself. Some things, however, have already made noise. For example, characters like Katara have been mired in controversy because of her skin color, which is lighter than in the original version. Beyond that, I think this will not define the series. What matters, in any case, is that it can be as good, entertaining and epic as that animation that premiered in 2005.
Quizás el error de Night Shyamalan fue subestimar la obra maestra que debía llevar al Live Action. En la serie animada, muy madura en términos de su premisa bélica y fantástica, los personajes se debaten en crudas batallas existencialistas bajo el fenómeno de la guerra, el amor, la familia y el pasado. Cada movimiento para el control de los elementos tiene un trasfondo: una historia. Lo que hizo Shymalan fue relatar, sin fidelidad alguna, lo que se convirtió en un fracaso.
Shyamalan tuvo un enfoque muy simplista para Avatar: The Last Airbender. La película tenía una átmosfera oscura, pálida, con personajes demasiado planos. No pude procesar tanta desigualdad entre la obra original y aquel largometraje, todavía más, cuando noté que faltó mucha de esa magia humorística, dramática y trascendental que mantuvo en pie a los protagonistas. Ruego para que Netflix le haga honor con esta nueva propuesta. Cruzo los dedos hasta su estreno.
The Last Airbender is not just any old series.
Perhaps Night Shyamalan's mistake was to underestimate the masterpiece he was to bring to Live Action. In the animated series, very mature in terms of its war and fantasy premise, the characters are engaged in crude existentialist battles under the phenomena of war, love, family and the past. Every move to control the elements has a background: a story. What Shymalan did was to relate, without any fidelity whatsoever, what became a failure.
Shyamalan had a very simplistic approach to Avatar: The Last Airbender. The film had a dark, pale atmosphere, with overly flat characters. I couldn't process so much inequality between the original work and that feature film, even more so, when I noticed that it lacked a lot of that humorous, dramatic, and transcendental magic that kept the main characters on their feet. I pray that Netflix will honor it with this new offering. Fingers crossed until its release.

No puedo olvidar a mis personajes favoritos dentro de The Last Airbender. Aunque parezca extraño, uno de estos fue Azula, la villana más desquiciada que he visto en una animación occidental. Azula era una chica prodigio del fuego control, tan talentoso y maniática, que su padre, el señor del fuego Ozai, la prefirió a ella como heredera al trono en lugar de Zuko, su hijo varón. Por supuesto, hay un entramado más oscuro en el linaje de la familia real de la nación del fuego. Y hablando de Zuko... no por nada es considerado uno de los mejores héroes redimidos dentro de una serie animada.
Aang, el protagonista principal, es más carismático y pacífico, además de ser un auténtico tonto. Zokka y Katara son hermanos bastante peculiares, ambos marcados por la invasión a su tribu y la perdida de su madre a manos de la guerra. El Tío Iroh es otro de mis grandes favoritos; al igual que otros personajes, este sufrió una gran pérdida. El dolor, entonces, es el centro de unificación entre nuestros héroes.
No conozco a ninguno de los actores que interpretarán a estos personajes (salvo a Daniel Dae Kim) en el Live Action de Netflix. Cruzo los dedos otra vez... ¡Cuántos nervios!
The Last Airbender gave us the best characters of our childhood.
I can't forget my favorite characters within The Last Airbender. Oddly enough, one of these was Azula, the most unhinged villain I've ever seen in a western animation. Azula was a firebending prodigy girl, so talented and maniacal that her father, the fire lord Ozai, preferred her as heir to the throne over Zuko, his male child. Of course, there is a darker undercurrent in the lineage of the Fire Nation's royal family. And speaking of Zuko... not for nothing is he considered one of the best redeemed heroes in an animated series.
Aang, the main protagonist, is more charismatic and peaceful, besides being a real goofball. Zokka and Katara are rather peculiar siblings, both scarred by the invasion of their tribe and the loss of their mother to war. Uncle Iroh is another big favorite of mine; like other characters, he suffered a great loss. Grief, then, is the unifying focus among our heroes.
I don't know any of the actors who will play these characters (except Daniel Dae Kim) in the Netflix Live Action. Fingers crossed again.... So many nerves!

A pesar de todas las teorías o especulaciones sobre "Avatar: The Last Airbender", la única manera de saber si la serie tendrá éxito o no es esperar su estreno. Como dije, los Live Action, en ocasiones, suelen arruinar a las obras originales, quitándonos esa magia que alguna vez eclipsó nuestros ojos y la maravilló con historias animadas únicas. Para mí, nada será mejor que la aventura original de Aang y sus amigos, de todas formas, tras ver el Trailer y algunas imágenes promocionales, debo admitir que la propuesta de Netflix parece ser diferente a lo que alguna vez intentó hacer Shymalan. Y yo espero que sea así en realidad.
We have to wait and evaluate
Despite all the theories or speculations about "Avatar: The Last Airbender", the only way to know if the series will be successful or not is to wait for its release. As I said, Live Action, at times, tends to ruin the original works, taking away that magic that once eclipsed our eyes and marveled it with unique animated stories. For me, nothing will be better than the original adventure of Aang and his friends, anyway, after seeing the Trailer and some promotional images, I must admit that Netflix's proposal seems to be different from what Shymalan once tried to do. And I hope it's really like that.
This I Ship Meme originally belongs to adamhatson and is dedicated to all of the wonderful Zuko x Katara or Zutara shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the world. Sit back, relax, and cherish Zutara's undeniable beauty, synergy, golden heart, and brilliance.
My undying love, appreciation, and admiration for Zutara knows no bounds. Ever since I first started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender in absolute earnest as a 13-year-old seventh grader, I knew from the back of my mind that Zuko and Katara not only looked great together but also had some potential for them to grow as a couple, despite what the canon dished out for them at the very end. By the time I was approaching high school as a 14-year-old, I got myself immersed in a multitude of Zutara fan art and fan fiction to the point where I considered myself an admirer of this particular pairing. Back then as a teenager, I used to love it because there was passion and beauty between the Fire Nation Prince first seeking to have his honour restored then be on a journey towards his redemption and the Water Tribe Warrior Girl who is the embodiment of solidarity, strength in numbers, and perseverance. Now, as an adult, and thanks to watching multiple videos from Joshua Fagan, Sneezy Reviews, and a litany of online reviewers who specialise in producing discourses focusing on Avatar: The Last Airbender, I can fully appreciate Zutara as a pairing that actually makes more narrative sense than ever before because of how they define balance, compassion, and the willingness to see each other as fellow human beings, not just elemental benders.
Zuko and Katara would have no illusions of who they are on the outside and on the inside, for they can challenge each others' notions and perceptions, while revealing something about themselves that they did not even realise. They might have started off as rivals, let alone enemies, but they could not be any more different from each other. Both of them lost their mothers during the Fire Nation's abuse of their power towards other nations, although Zuko's mother is still alive but Katara'a mother was killed by one of the Fire Nation's soldiers. Season 2 might have seen Zuko turn over a new leaf after the Siege of the Northern Water Tribe, given that he has spent this particular duration as a wanderer throughout the Earth Kingdom and realised what damage the Fire Nation wrought on the people, but, in "The Crossroads of Destiny", he ended up making a huge mistake by relapsing to his old ways, although he started to realise that it was futile capturing Aang in order to please his abusive tyrant of a father. Therefore, he betrayed his uncle/surrogate father, Katara, his supposedly new allies, and, worst of all, himself. Continuing on to Season 3, Zuko is seen finally realising that he has made a mistake and managed to do what he can to redeem himself because he realised that the Fire Nation's supposed prestige was nothing more than an empty shell. In order to atone for his error, he finally confronts his father, leaves the Fire Nation, and joins forces with Sokka, Aang, Toph, Katara, and eventually Suki in a series of "field trips".
In Katara's side of the story, she might have commenced the show as a passionate, kind, and loving idealist. However, her encounter with Hama when it came to acquiring blood-bending as well as her seething displeasure of seeing Zuko again, due to the fact that she always saw him as the face of the Fire Nation because of her mother's tragic fate, signified a different much darker side to Katara that was about to emerge. One that was full of vengeance, anguish, and pain which Zuko firmly acknowledged, especially in "The Southern Raiders". What Katara needed was closure to finally confront her mother's murderer, and Zuko knew who was responsible for committing such an atrocity. Katara's dark side came into full swing when she blood-bent a Fire Nation guard until she found the man who killed her mother, Yon Rha. As soon as they arrive to Yon Rha's residence, Katara was about to kill him by manipulating the rain to be turned into icicles. However, she realised that Yon Rha was nothing more than a pathetic, sad, undignified man. Although never forgave Yon Rha for what he did, she was ready to forgive Zuko. Therefore, Zuko did care for Katara about what she thought, was not afraid of her less than sunny side, and acknowledged her as a fellow human being.
The rest of the episodes demonstrated that the animosity that befell Zuko and Katara dissipated, and they can now fight side by side, thus showing how much they understand each other and how deep and meaningful their relationship could be. No where is this additionally evident when Zuko and Katara faced off against his younger sister Azula in the tragic yet powerful Final Agni Kai. Where Zuko had Katara by his side, Azula had nobody because of how she felt that everybody around her was treacherous when, in fact, she was never taught how to accept compassion and unconditional love as strengths. Zuko even sacrificed his own life for Katara when Azula pulled a dirty trick by redirecting Azula's lightning that was initially meant for Katara and taking it in. He may have been severely injured in the process, but, after Katara subdued Azula, she managed to help Zuko recover. Sure, this moment could have easily ironed out their relationship and bring it to the next level when it came to romance, but it demonstrated that there is nobody in this planet that Zuko and Katara could put their trust in than each other.
I would like to think that Zuko and Katara being in a romantic relationship together would signify not only the importance of balance, synergy, and harmony, but also the values of compassion, understanding, healing, and acknowledging each other as humans; strengths, weaknesses, warts, and all. Both of them have seen the best and the worst in each other, and they would never give up on each other. In fact, Katara's resilience and strong will could also be an asset to bringing peace to the Fire Nation after many years, let alone centuries, worth of animosity. Sure, the Fire Nation would be skeptical about having somebody from the Water Tribe be the new Fire Lady, but Katara would prove them wrong every single time by utilising her quick wit, her people skills, and her awareness of what she has seen in all the different nations. Even Zuko would remind the councillors, politicians, and the like that Katara saved his life, is just as important as a leader, and that her father is also nobility, so they need to treat her with more respect. Zuko and Katara even ended up being married at 17 and 15 years old respectively, thus acquiring the blessings of Hakoda, Grandmother Kanna, Pakku, and Uncle Iroh. Now with Zuko approaching 33 and Katara approaching 31, they are the proud parents of 15 going on 16-year-old triplet sons Seiji, Sanji, and Souji; 14 going on 15-year-old triplet sons Haku, Isoka, and Jiro; 13-year-old twin daughters Izumi and Ikuni; 12-year-old twin daughters Sara and Mara; and 11-year-old twin daughters Kya and Kana. All of their children are capable benders, with Seiji, Sanji, Souji, Izumi, and Ikuni mastering firebending; Haku, Isoka, Jiro, Sara, and Mara mastering both water- and firebending; and Kya and Kana being full-fledged waterbenders. Aside from their skills with fire and water, they are also compassionate souls who will never abandon anybody.
Zuko and Katara have come a long way in their romantic relationship. Their love for each other is unconditional, and they will always support each other in times of joy and in times of strife.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Zutara, everybody.
Zuko and Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender belong to Bryan Konietzko, Michael DiMartino, and Nickelodeon.
Hola de nuevo! Hoy les traigo un post bastante genial en el cual les hablaré sobre mi serie animada favorita que es Avatar: La leyenda de Aang. Me acuerdo que cuando era niña pasaban esta serie por Nickelodeon y no me la perdía para nada, incluso llegué a ver dos veces los especiales que daban los fines de semana donde pasaban los episodios durante todo el día. Es una de las series que más he visto (como unas 4 veces) y la verdad no me canso de esta historia, así que hoy les contaré sobre ello, comencemos!
Hello again! Today I come with a pretty cool post in which I will tell you about my favorite animated series which is Avatar: The Legend of Aang. I remember when I was a kid they used to show this series on Nickelodeon and I didn't miss it at all, I even got to see twice the specials that were shown on weekends where they would show the episodes all day long. It is one of the series that I have seen the most (about 4 times) and the truth is that I never get tired of this story, so today I will tell you about it, let's go!
Hablar de Avatar es nombrar una de las mejores series animadas de la historia para mí. Con tres temporadas y 61 episodios esta historia se desarrolla de manera maravillosa. La trama comienza con los hermanos Katara y Sokka de la tribu del agua del sur, que al encontrar a un niño con un bisonte volador congelados en un iceberg los sacan de ahí y descubren que es el maestro aire llamado Aang, que estuvo 100 años congelado y que durante su ausencia ocurrió una guerra que ocasionó la nación el fuego y este con tan solo 12 años tiene la responsabilidad de salvar al mundo de y restablecer su equilibrio, teniendo que dominar los 4 elementos antes de que el cometa Sozin llegue y que la nación del fuego se haga muchísimo más poderoso. Los hermanos deciden acompañar a Aang en su aventura del dominio de los otros tres elementos intentando buscar a distintos maestros.
To talk about Avatar is to talk about one of the best animated series in history for me. With three seasons and 61 episodes this story unfolds wonderfully. The plot begins with siblings Katara and Sokka of the southern water tribe, who upon finding a boy with a flying bison frozen in an iceberg pull them out and discover that he is the airbender named Aang, who was 100 years frozen and that during his absence a war occurred that caused the fire nation and this with only 12 years old has the responsibility to save the world and restore its balance, having to master the 4 elements before the comet Sozin arrives and the fire nation becomes much more powerful. The brothers decide to accompany Aang in his adventure to master the other three elements trying to find different benders.
Cada temporada es un libro que se basa en cada elemento que intenta aprender el avatar, el primero es el libro Agua, donde conocemos al protagonista Aang, un niño de 12 años nómada aire que es risueño y tranquilo que luego de ser sacado de un iceberg después de 100 años, descubre que tiene la tarea de salvar el mundo de una guerra que ocurrió en su ausencia. Luego está Katara, una maestra agua que al perder a su madre a manos de la nación del fuego les guarda un gran rencor. Sokka, un chico bastante gracioso pero sumamente valiente que no domina ningún elemento, pero que posee grandes habilidades de pelea. También conocemos a uno de los más importantes, Zuko el cual es un príncipe exiliado de la nación del Fuego el cual fue expulsado hasta que consiga al Avatar, siendo el principal antagonista de este libro. También conocemos a Iroh, mi personaje favorito y el tío de Zuko, el cual es una persona bastante tranquila y ayuda a Zuko a mantener la calma en diversas situaciones. Aquí comenzamos a ver que la tarea de aprender otros elementos no será fácil para el Avatar, teniendo que viajar hasta la tribu del Agua del Norte para mejorar sus habilidades de agua control.
Each season is a book that is based on each element that the avatar tries to learn, the first is the book Water, where we meet the protagonist Aang, a 12 year old nomadic air boy who is giggly and quiet who after being pulled out of an iceberg after 100 years, discovers that he has the task of saving the world from a war that happened in his absence. Then there is Katara, a waterbender who lost her mother to the fire nation and holds a grudge against them. Sokka, a rather funny but extremely brave boy who does not dominate any element, but possesses great fighting skills. We also meet one of the most important, Zuko who is an exiled prince of the Fire Nation who was expelled until he gets the Avatar, being the main antagonist of this book. We also meet Iroh, my favorite character and Zuko's uncle, who is a pretty calm person and helps Zuko keep his cool in various situations. Here we begin to see that the task of learning other elements will not be easy for the Avatar, having to travel to the Northern Water tribe to improve his waterbending skills.
La segunda temporada es el libro Tierra donde nuestro trío de protagonistas viaja al Reino Tierra para conseguir a un maestro tierra para el joven Avatar, luego de presenciar una serie de "peleas callejeras" de maestros tierra conocen a otro de mis personajes favoritos, Toph, la cual es una maestra tierra ciega que parece fragil, pero es sumamente fuerte y considerada una prodigio en el dominio de la tierra control, además de tener un carácter fuerte que se une al viaje de los protagonistas. También vemos apariciones más importantes de personajes que aparecieron en la primera temporada, tal es el caso de Azula, la hermana menor de Zuko que es sumamente cruel y poderosa, maquiavélica y muy inteligente. También está Suki, una guerrera Kyoshi que será el interés amoroso que ayuda a los protagonistas cuando es necesario junto a sus compañeras. En este libro es muy interesante porque comenzamos a ahondar en las historias de los antiguos Avatar y las razones por las que ocurrió la guerra.
The second season is the book Earth where our trio of protagonists travels to the Earth Kingdom to get an earthbender for the young Avatar, after witnessing a series of "street fights" of earthbenders they meet another of my favorite characters, Toph, which is a blind earthbender who seems fragile, but is extremely strong and considered a prodigy in the domain of earthbending, besides having a strong character who joins the journey of the protagonists. We also see more important appearances of characters that appeared in the first season, such is the case of Azula, Zuko's younger sister who is extremely cruel and powerful, Machiavellian and very intelligent. There is also Suki, a Kyoshi warrior who will be the love interest who helps the protagonists when necessary along with her companions. In this book it is very interesting because we begin to delve into the stories of the ancient Avatar and the reasons why the war happened.
El último libro es Fuego, donde el equipo Avatar tiene la tarea más difícil, la cual es buscar a un maestro fuego que quiera ayudar al Avatar, y aquí los personajes que aparecieron anteriormente, tanto principales como secundarios terminan de desarrollarse. La aventura de Aang para pelear contra el señor del fuego Ozai, el papá de Zuko es algo que tiene a nuestro Avatar en una disyuntiva ya que pareciera que la única alternativa es matar a Ozai, pero Aang no quiere hacerlo porque va en contra de sus principios como nómada aire. También vemos como el equipo se infiltra en la nación del fuego causándonos nervios y una que otras risas a la vez. Observamos un poco la turbulenta relación entre Zuko y su hermana la cual sufre internamente al saber que su madre la veía como un monstruo y a su vez, como la joven manipula a sus amigas para que hagan acciones a su beneficio. Creo que es el mejor libro en mi opinión ya que le da un cierre fenomenal a los personajes.
The last book is Fire, where the Avatar team has the most difficult task, which is to find a firebender who wants to help the Avatar, and here the characters that appeared previously, both main and secondary, finish developing. Aang's adventure to fight against the fire lord Ozai, Zuko's father is something that has our Avatar in a dilemma since it seems that the only alternative is to kill Ozai, but Aang does not want to do it because it goes against his principles as an air nomad. We also see how the team infiltrates the fire nation causing us nerves and a few laughs at the same time. We see the turbulent relationship between Zuko and her sister who suffers internally knowing that her mother saw her as a monster and in turn, how the young girl manipulates her friends to do actions to her benefit. I think this is the best book in my opinion as it gives phenomenal closure to the characters.
Esta serie cuenta con una animación parecida al anime, por eso la confunden mucho pero fue creada en Estados Unidos así que no es considerado un anime. Esto no quita que esta serie animada haya sido un rotundo éxito para Nickelodeon, cadena televisiva responsable de emitir esta gran historia. Los creadores Michael Dante DiMartino y Bryan Konietzko afirman que se inspiraron en distintas culturas de Asia para ambientar y desarrollar la serie, y que cada elemento se inspira en un arte marcial: El aire control se rige del Pa Kua Chang; el agua control se rige del Tai Chi; la tierra control del Pa Kua Chang; y el fuego control del Shaolin del Norte. Todas estas artes marciales fueron animadas para cada elemento y también inspiradas en coreografías hechas por expertos en dichas artes. También se dedicaron a creare combinaciones de los elementos (como por ejemplo, la sangre control derivada del agua o el metal control derivado de la tierra), al mismo tiempo de crear un extenso universo en el mundo de Avatar, con un mapa, asociaciones malvadas y buenas, y la distribución de las 4 naciones de los distintos elementos, creando una historia muy sólida y bien construida. La ambientación es excelente, los paisaje fueron inspirados como dije anteriormente en distintas culturas de Asia, también los vestuarios e incluso la banda sonora la cual me parece sumamente increíble. Cada personaje, sentimiento y situación tienen su propia ambientación, siendo sumamente influenciada por la cultura oriental usando sus instrumentos típicos.
This series has an animation similar to anime, that is why it is often confused, but it was created in the United States, so it is not considered an anime. This does not detract from the fact that this animated series has been a resounding success for Nickelodeon, the television network responsible for broadcasting this great story. The creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko state that they were inspired by different Asian cultures to set and develop the series, and that each element is inspired by a martial art: air control is ruled by Pa Kua Chang; water control is ruled by Tai Chi; earth control is ruled by Pa Kua Chang; and fire control is ruled by Northern Shaolin. All these martial arts were animated for each element and also inspired by choreographies made by experts in those arts. They also dedicated themselves to create combinations of the elements (for example, the bloodbender derived from water or the metalbender control derived from earth), while creating an extensive universe in the world of Avatar, with a map, evil and good associations, and the distribution of the 4 nations of the different elements, creating a very solid and well constructed story. The setting is excellent, the scenery was inspired as I said before in different cultures of Asia, also the costumes and even the soundtrack which I find extremely incredible. Each character, feeling and situation has its own atmosphere, being highly influenced by the oriental culture using its typical instruments.
Algo muy importante para mí en esta serie es que todos los personajes tienen una evolución coherente y cierran de manera maravillosa, de aquí conocí lo que es darle un buen arco de redención a un villano como pasó con Zuko, siendo uno de mis personajes favoritos y el que para mí tiene el mejor desarrollo en el mundo de la animación, ya que al conocer la razón de sus acciones y como va recapacitando poco a poco en base a hecho y diversas situaciones que vive me parece algo sumamente maravilloso. A su vez, vemos como los personajes van madurando poco a poco, Katara aprende a controlar su elemento y emociones, Sokka aprende muchas habilidades increíbles aunque no controle un elemento y también se vuelve un mejor estratega, Toph aprende a trabajar en equipo, y por supuesto Appa y Momo también tienen sus pequeñas historias dentro de la serie. Gracias al éxito que tuvo esta serie se creó Avatar: La leyenda de Korra la cual fue sumamente criticada pero también tuvo un buen desarrollo a pesar de todo. El mundo de Avatar es extenso pero es un viaje sumamente agradable, es una serie animada que recomiendo muchísimo ya que su trama es sumamente atrapante y excelente, definitivamente mi serie animada favorita.
Something very important for me in this series is that all the characters have a coherent evolution and close in a wonderful way, from here I knew what it is to give a good arc of redemption to a villain as happened with Zuko, being one of my favorite characters and the one that for me has the best development in the world of animation, since knowing the reason for his actions and how he gradually comes to his senses based on fact and various situations he lives through seems to me something extremely wonderful. At the same time, we see how the characters mature little by little, Katara learns to control her element and emotions, Sokka learns many incredible skills even though he doesn't control an element and also becomes a better strategist, Toph learns to work in a team, and of course Appa and Momo also have their little stories within the series. Thanks to the success of this series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra was created, which was highly criticized but also had a good development in spite of everything. The world of Avatar is extensive but it is an extremely pleasant journey, it is an animated series that I highly recommend because its plot is extremely catchy and excellent, definitely my favorite animated series.
