Netflix’s live-action Avatar has its heart in the right place, but its pacing and uneven performances leave a lot to be desired.

Why did they make it so dark and gritty? That's my main complaint having seen the first episode.

Did they? I think they made the scenes with the actual, you know, war, more dark and gritty. But there are plenty light hearted scenes with Aang just being a kid?

Btw we have some discussions for the first few episodes on !avatar@lemmy.world if you want to weigh in there
