no you see they told us very clearly in the first episode that aang is very fun and happy and goofy so they dont need to show that stuff

And must not have friends! Repeat after me, the Avatar must not have friends!

I dunno what Katara and Sokka are doing on the live action, but I guess it's ok, because they are never around anyway.

I thought Aang just wanted to have fun and see the world originally and did not like the fact he was forced into being the avatar. Because of that he was delaying his duties with personal desires and fulfillment, more so earlier on in the show while he was still grappling with being the avatar.

I don't think they all have ADHD.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Sokka surely doesn't.

The problem is the two water tribe kids are followin the oldest, unfortunately the oldest is younger than both of them and HE probably has ADHD

Reminds me of my problem with the movie of The Martian (which I did very much enjoy). The book is the main character having one thing after another go wrong. The movie is the main character’s triumph over obstacle after obstacle. I’m not sure what made them seem in this way though.

I have the same feeling.

I think it's due to how knowledgeable, practical, and yet pessimistic Watney's inner monologue is through the book. It's one thing to see something go wrong on screen (they did show all of the major issues as far as I recall, and a few minor ones too), it's another to have the main character scientifically dissect exactly how fucked he is or will be if the next attempt at a solution fails.

They cut the part where his communications went down again, which was probably his biggest blow mentally aside from getting stranded initially.
