I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

Because it’s good.
Same!
Theoretically it was in preparation to watch the new Netflix series.
After finishing the first season; before starting season two I put on the Netflix series. I made it about 5 minutes into Ep1 before deciding I’d just finish my rewatch of the original series instead.
Man, that Netflix show is bad…
I found it to be… fine. The actors and your expectations settle in after a couple of episodes. The Zuko actor is actually pretty good, Iroh is a different take but damned if Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s enthusiasm for every goony-ass genre part he does isn’t infectious, and Sokka and Katara grow into their show personas. Aang… eventually gets less distracting.
The production design is authentic to the show, and Appa, Momo, and June’s mole-wolf-horse thing are all well done. I don’t think this show was necessary at all, and parts of it are stubbornly weak, but if it gets a new cohort of fans into the universe and watching the cartoons, it could be a net positive.
Everything you say sounds reasonable. I might give it another go but something about the whole universe my brain was just fine with accepting in animation but it just absolutely bounced off of in live action.
I liked the first episode of the live action show well enough. I might add it to our rotation.
The thing that bothered me the most is how Aang sounds exactly like Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle
hardly any jizz at all
Edit: how funny, you’re talking about a completely different thing. This comment must seem deranged.
