Okay apparently I'm not done nitpicking. Skimping that much on Zuko's scar shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Zuko. It's not just a weird mark on his face, it's a brutal reminder of his (perceived) failures and a symbol of his internal struggle between good and evil. The scar is so integral to Zuko's character I can't imagine why they would diminish it unless they didn't understand what it means. And not to be mean but it's not hard to puzzle it out! It's literally Symbolism 4 Kids.

#avatar the last airbender #atla spoilers #Zuko was pretty hit or miss in the live action #he's meant to be seething and desperate to grasp at this one chance to return home at any cost #he's not going to talk to Aang about brush fibers damn it #“oh it's just not a one-to-one blah blah blah”#yeah i don't care if they change the plot #katara and sokka getting trapped in the spirit world with aang was rad #kyoshi wrecking shit was rad #i was excited to see aang talk to kuruk this early until it turned out to be a nothingburger of a conversation #i'm mad about character changes #which is the ONE thing you really shouldn't mess with in an adaptation
