i loved the Avatar: The Last Airbender series so much, but this movie just didn't live up to the series.
rant:
1. the way they treat bending. each elemental bending has its own different quirks and styles on how to bend but here it's like all are interchangeable.
2. the original gang were sidelined. katara was reduced to just aang's wife, zuko is like non-existent, and toph is nerfed.
3. how is taga beating all of them at the middle of the movie? like aang is literally the avatar, katara with toph and zuko, who are really good benders, just got crushed by him like it's nothing.
4. in the chaotic battle towards the end, how are the OG benders getting whooped on their asses by NEWLY-MADE BENDERS? like hello?! 🙄
tldr; the movie was a disappointment
