In general, the approach of the show seems to be averse to the "big reveal" technique of the original. They do the same with the death of Iroh's son, Zuko's conflict with his father, King Bumi, etc. The philosophy seems to be to lay everything out for the viewer and watch it develop.
Yeah, but for me as a kid, seeing those kids grow up, discover and learn more about their world, while I was growing up, discovering and learning about my world was what made the show so relatable and good. And I still watch the original to get back that sense of wonder and surprise even today. Because even as adults, we can be so sure something is right, wrong, important, impossible, worthless, etc. And be totally wrong, right, anything in between and, most importantly, totally focusing on the wrong thing and missing the bigger picture.
It showed me that evil people sometimes just are senselessly evil, but mostly have just different convictions, beliefs, upbringing or information that makes them think they are the good guy. And they think we are the bad guy. But while what they do may be not senseless evil, we still must try to stop them. There can be logic to evil, but it's still evil.
For me as a small kid, that was a big thing to learn. And obviously I understand that as an adult, I can't get that from the show now, but I want the feeling that if I watched this show as a kid, i would have gotten both of those things.
And honestly, the first episode didn't give me much hope for either of these. That, plus the cringy writing just killed all my enthusiasm. I will probably try episode 2 some time. But, I'm not excited anymore.
