* CharacterDerailment: Done to several of the characters:
** Aang, a happy-go-lucky and eager kid in the series, is now a quiet and somewhat Aang-sty (GET IT?!) boy. He is not a boisterous twelve year old that is in denial of the war, does not display desire to enjoy life to the fullest ("Free and joyous" as an Air Nomad) and lacks any light-hearted, fun-loving behavior. He does display a bit of enthusiasm when he was at the Southern Air Temple, but somehow loses it after learning about the Air Nomad Genocide.
** Katara, who went through some {{Chickification}}.
** Sokka, being both the ComicRelief and the SmartGuy in the show, becomes a very boring, lifeless individual who spent most the journey just standing around without displaying any emotion in the movie. Like Katara, he does very little to move the story along. His personal [[DeadpanSnarker witty sarcastic behaviour]] is lacking. In fact, he's kind of a {{jerkass}}.
** Admiral Zhao, being threatening and violent in the TV series, really doesn't have much going for him in the movie. He's not intimidating or threatening in the least, he's just kind of an indecisive jerk who hesitates before everything he does. In fact, he's almost comical.

** Fire Lord Ozai, the de facto {{evil overlord}}, is somewhat shown as a curious individual in the movie. He doesn't appear as hateful and cruel, but contemplative and decisive. He even shows remorse for Zuko, his son's, banishment by warning Zhao that Zuko will be over him when he returns. This coming from the same guy who burned his own son alive.
** Master Pakku. Instead of being a sexist prick, he's just a generic wise martial arts master guy who looks almost identical to Billy Connoly
** Iroh. In the movie, while he retains his role as mentor to the afflicted Zuko, he is not as comedic and laid-back as his series counterpart. His wisdom is not as believable, and he lacks his wise sayings. He doesn't even get to keep his renowned fighting skills.

** No fight between Aang and Zuko in the ship. Aang just simply escapes.
** No Agni Kai between Zuko and Zhao.
** Although the Blue Spirit has some screentime, his display of awesome swordfighting is very limited as there is too much focus on Aang fiddling with "their practice area".
** No fight between Katara and Pakku. Hell, zero sexism from Pakku.
** That fight between Katara and Zuko. Katara lost. Not only that, ''[[BadassDecay after two shots without gaining an upperhand]]''.
** Those expecting Iroh to attack random Fire Nation soldiers after displaying the ''only'' actual firebending in the movie, prepare to be disappointed.
** No Koh the Face-Stealer. He could've looked even scarier in CGI, but he never appeared in the film. What a rip-off.
** For some reason killing the Moon Spirit doesn't cause Koizilla to show up, probably because the movie keeps insisting that the Avatar can't hurt people under any circumstances (this apparently includes all previous Avatars including Kyoshi).
** [[spoiler:The final Agni Kai between Zuko and Zhao at the bridge never happened and Zhao was immediately drowned after that.]]
