I must have missed it but was there 100 years passed between the attack by Fire Nation to him coming out of the ice ball?
Yes.

That Air Bison must be have a life span of Yoda!

In the animated series Appa was also frozen with Aang. Presumably it’s the same here rather than Appa being super old and just happening to be around when Aang defrosted.

4 episodes in, so half way through. My thoughts so far.
The acting is erm, felt a little forced? The CGI is quite decent. The story is okay but I’m hoping he would start learning other skill set now.

Finished it.
I guess they pitched this at a more younger audience still, everything from the acting, cast, pacing feels very cartoon like. It doesn’t feel like they tried to make it for the people who used to watch it and now grown up to be adults but people are still kids.
It’s okay I think, but my expectations were low, never seen the cartoon and it just about pass.

You missed out. Yes it has few childish episodes. But it get serious and some episodes were dark.
@Raymond Lin deffo give the cartoon series a try.

Azula and Mai are such a miscast. Azula comes across as bratty than intimidating. And her circle face. Mai is just too plus sized compared to the cartoon counterpart.
General zao looks good but comes across as stupid in a few parts, in the cartoon he was a lot smarter. Princess Yuwei looks ok.

Yeah. Many characters are cast wrong. Shame. We are enjoying it otherwise.
Azula was a huge disappointment.
I'm hoping the cast improve as they age with the seasons (assuming it carries on), but I appreciate that they're sticking to the story and the spirit of the show. Often you get these dumbass directors who what to sprinkle their ego all over a remake - why mess with a hugely successful formula.
The cartoon is excellent. The content is pitched at all ages but there are adult themes in respect of ‘how to live your life’ and ‘navigating conflict’ that are superb. It’s also pretty darn funny.
I haven’t seen the live action series, but Doug does a spoiler free review that suggests it’s passable; effectively a ‘live action Disney remake’ that inevitably loses something by existing outside of the medium of animation, which unfortunately also ends up feeling a bit generic:

I wouldn't say it is. Obviously they had to condense the live action so they butchered so much. Cartoon is leagues better than this. Dare I say, one thr greatest animation series ever made. Yea beginning few episodes may seem childish but it gets better almost instantly.
