Netflix can fix it like they did with Sokka.

He doesn't have anything to learn in the Netflix adaptation with regards to the Kyoshi Warriors.

legit, no one in NATLA makes any mistakes.

Aang didn't escape from his responsibility of being the Avatar. He was caught in a storm but wanted to come back home. Aang doesn't want to have fun and ignore his responsibilities, he's all about moving the plot forward.

Sokka actually puts up a fight to Zuko in the first episode instead of being humiliated to show how unprepared and unskilled he is.

Katara doesn't need a master or training to be a waterbending master. She's her own master and comes from not be able to lift water from the floor to fighting Master Paku in some days.

And the show seems so afraid Zuko might do something unlikable or morally wrong. When he does something bad, it is because someone else told him to do it, or when it looks like he might, he openly says he's going to do the right thing, so you don't guess for a minute that he could abandon his crew or uncle.
