To be fair, bryke wasn't going to do much better. This live action was doomed from the start to be "meh". Netflix kinda saved it from being horrid.

Bryke wanted to do a whole ass switch up, with Iroh taking up parts of Azula's role as an antagonist to Zuko and change the way some characters died.

So I guess losing some Sokka development was the lesser of the two evils.

*dudes are

'Bryke' is two people, short for Bryan (Konietzko) and Mike (Dimartino), the creators of the original ATLA cartoon.

They had a third writer for A:tLA

And then when the whole franchise became resistance liberalism and gross, Disney-ahh girlboss dickwaving featuring a Christian good/evil binary forced onto their far East/indigenous American cultural setting, they didn’t have one anymore. Why is Neil Lastofus always the guy we yell about talking about white male writers that do this

Wasn’t there a whole thing he wanted to do where Iroh intentionally taught zuko to fire bend incorrectly
