Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 live-streamed its first episode and the first reactions say it's so much better than season 1

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is about to hit Netflix but some fans were treated to a special early screening of episode 1. The new show live-streamed on Tudum to some fans who have been sharing their early reactions on social media.

The second season reunites viewers with Aang (Gordon Cormier) as he and his friends head deeper to the Earth Kingdom to face their enemy, Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). Promising to be an epic new journey, it sees the gang discover new locations and new foes on their adventure.

The first season, released in 2024, had some pretty mixed reactions, sitting at a pretty average 62% from critics and 70% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. However, early reactions to the first episode of season 2 are already saying it's an improvement.

Posting on Twitter, one fan wrote: "I just watched the first episode of the second season of #Netflix's #AvatarTheLastAirbender live-action via Tudum and it's such a BIG IMPROVEMENT!!! Love the changes so far while being still faithful to the og show!"

"WOW that first episode of Season 2 was so fire. Just finished watching the premiere of it live on Netflix Tudum and it's fantastic," added a second, while a third tweeted: "Dude, I just watched episode 1 of Avatar season 2 and it's literally infinitely better than the entire first season, Katara improved a ton in her acting and her bending is so perfect, the moves the show gave her are crazy creative, she's full of insane combos."

Another viewer commented: "I regret to inform you that, it’s so freakin good. I’m very impressed with the improvements and changes. Time to use neutral jing until the rest of the episodes drop."
