The live action movie is garbage. You make it sound like Iroh being special for making his own fire was a good thing. It wasn't. Think about it. It completely sucked the threat out of the enemy. Water, Earth, and Air are all things that can put out flame. Especially water and Earth. These are all elements that are everywhere. Oops, someone splashed them and now they have no fire. Now their whole army is worthless. That's stupid. It made a complete joke out of the enemy. And this was the least of the things that this movie did that were completely unfaithful.i extensively avoid TV cartoons. if i had been forced to watch ATLA i wouldn't likely had checked out FET, at all. i did watch the (non cartoon) movie and found it ok, because the story told there felt kind of complete, in a way. i liked what small things they lined in without pointing at it.
in most cartoon stuff, that's not as much so. wow garbled engrish today and i'm afraid i won't get my point across..You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

..dang where's a :triggered: smiley when you need one.
The series is in fact not some little kid bouncing around and winning all the time. It starts out lighthearted but progressively gets dark. Season 2 they even had the balls to kill a kid. And Aang actually loses in the season 2 finale and the Earth Kingdom falls under Fire Nation rule. For most of season 3 Aang is in hiding, believed to be dead. Half way through the final season he leads an invasion and suffers a colossal loss. The Firelord knew about their plan and hid in a bunker. The invasion was crushed and all of the forces were captured. Aang was just barely able to escape with just a small handful of allies, defeated and shamed.
Through this entire story we have characters who grow. Sokka, the non bender of the group becomes a master swordsman and a brilliant strategist. Aang has to grow from being this goofy, irresponsible kid to putting on the big boy pants and taking on a responsibility that is far bigger than him. The live action had none of this sort of development. It was a bunch of shit actors reciting lines and some of the most non threatening villains I have ever seen.
If you knew anything about the source material "it was alright" would be the last thing coming out of you. This show was not your grandma's Spongebob. We're talking something shallow and lifeless vs something with depth and soul.
