This is such a good adaptation.

It saddens me that it has been getting a lot of mixed (albeit not bad) reception.

As a fan of the original source material, and the franchise as a whole, I quite thouroughly enjoyed this adaptation. I understand that, it comes down to a matter of opinion, but I genuinely feel that so much love went into this. But I see a lot of comparisons to animated series, which is quite a shame. Sure there are a few differences, like Aang being less goofy. I can't speak for everyone, but personally it hasn't bothered me in the slightest. Sokka still feels like Sokka, even though he is also a little less goofy. It's important to understand that they are meant to be portrayed as real people, and not cartoon characters. But their essence is still very apparent, at least in my opinion.

Sorry, I just had to vent a little. I'm not, super upset, but I do wish that people could, see past nostalgia, and be a little more open. Anyway, it's also a little egotistical to expect everyone to think the same, so even if my opinion differs from yours, I will respect it.
