there's plenty of steps between bad and good. let's call it mediocre, or mid,or meh or, whatever flavor you want. I really don't think that flight moment was as bad as people are making it out to be. he uses tornadoes to push himself up in various ways in the animated series. this was that, but a bit longer. he didn't fly around like super man. he hovered on top of a vortex of wind for like 10 seconds at most.
I agree that the acting isn't great. good child actors are actually really rare. that said, people are overreacting calling it trash. especially since no one I've heard call it that actually gave it a fair shot.
It lasts 40 seconds and he is in Superman pose flying for the most of it. I didn't call it that out of spite, I actually enjoyed the whole series. But it is mid. Sure, maybe not trash like the Shyamalaladingdong movie, but I don't want to have to sit through it ever again.
Was he flying like this?
No, he was more flying like this.
Like with a wingsuit (which ironically do appear in The Legend of Korra) but without the suit. There are videos of the scene on YouTube. I don't know why they did it, when they could've used the glider staff. Specially since in a later scene he is shown being unable to fly without the staff.
Ok I definitely saw that pose but when people talk about the superman pose the one I showed is the superman flying pose or the one with 2 hands extended.
That's fastidious nitpicking. You understood what I meant. He made several feet across as if he had wings and floated around as weightless in ways that it's established that airbenders shouldn't.
