Surprise! I love ATLA to death, I truly believe it's one of the best shows of all time. The character writing is so so good and I will die on that hill

I was super excited for this movie, and while it was enjoyable and visually beautiful, I will say I found the character writing to be lacking for the main four: Katara, Zuko, Toph, and Sokka. I think they could have been utilized better in the plot, and could have had better dialogue / conversations that actually meant something. Zuko, Toph and Sokka mostly had one liners and I found that to be really disappointing. Katara had some more dialogue, but it still fell flat for me too.

After watching it, I saw people talk about how Sokka as a non-bender could have had so much more focus and bring a lot more emotion to the movie as it was about non-benders gaining power; and I agree it would have been better to hear his thoughts on that matter. Especially if it caused a small divide between him & Aang. It just would have added more stakes to it all and cause us to be more invested.

But I'm super curious to hear what you all thought of this movie, even if you disagree with me!

I only watched up to episode seven of Legend of Korra as a kid (I couldn't really get into it), but I know there's a new series coming up and I do want to check that out. I'm considering reacting to Korra and the new series on my channel if it's something you all would be interested in. Just let me know!
