    I think you might be biased against animation. The faces of the original show were extremely versatile and well animated. Especially when it came to emotions. Seriously. Check out a few scenes from season 3 on youtube (you could clearly see that they got more budget as the show went along).

    From what I’ve seen up to now, the writing is way worse, completely missing the point of the show at parts. The cinematography is sooo by the numbers. The scenes where Kitara needs to waterbend remind me a bit of Nightboat.

    I really wanted to give the live action version a fair shot, but everything but the acting is just so incredibly boooring.

    And since they don’t even show cool martial arts, it even looks worse that an SD TV show from 2005.

    I don’t think the ATLA fans are offended by things changing per se. The Mechanist being in Omashu isn’t really a big problem. But if it results in an overcrowded episode where Kitara goes from zero to traumadumping in a matter of minutes, you’re gonna get valid comlaints. And it still managed to be boring.
