Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender is in too much of a rush to be truly magical.

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

    Lots of animated shows do that, though they only usually have two stories due to shorter runtimes

      That’s more because they have an allotted time slot on their TV network. Like Nickelodeon gave Spongebob 22 minutes per episode but they only wanted to write 10 minute episodes, so they did 2 per episode. That’s not really relevant on a streaming service where they have total control over the episode pacing. They can even do weird stuff like having different episodes in a series run for different durations.
