>>213786528The show being campy was fine, the big problem with it was the writing was very sloppy all around, which made it not memorable at all, unlike the original, which is generally written very tightly and excellently with a few exceptions. The netflix adaption overexplains character detail without showing their personalities properly, exposits way too much, and the worst part is that it changes the characters way too much and they become milk-toast boring. Gone is katara's firey personality where she gets mad and demands to fight paccu because he's being a bitch. No. She's just boring. Gone is Sokka's (based) sexism because that's too DANGEROUS in today's economy, so he's just a goofball with no room for growth, no humility, no actual character development. On top of that they removed the part of his character about being a leader and it's just about him being heckin smart now. Gay. I still want to have sex with Suki tho.
Also Aang didn't fucking waterbend at all man. What the fuck even.
