Perfectly Imperfect
24 February 2024
This is more a refreshing adaptation of a source material that's been delivered in recent times. Yes. Some of the acting is clunky and a bit goofy; however, watching the character dynamics with each other is, quite honestly, as close to the source that could be expected. Firebenders manifest fire. Waterbenders look like waterbenders. This can be watched, and you can still reminisce the animated adventure without feeling an injustice has been committed like a past adaptation that won't be mentioned here.......ever again........personally, I don't hover over films, shows, or media in general looking for inconsistencies. But as a causal viewer. This is perfectly imperfect. It captures the world of Avatar. I'm relieved of the dread of expecting some artist's COMPLETE reimagining of a beloved source and elated to find something that is a retelling of it in a different medium. True to the source; true to the story. I appreciate this beyond words, and am excited to see it through.
