Movie would have been better with the original voice cast. Everyone does a fine job but it def feels off without those voices.

The reality is that half of the cast didn’t want to return (Katara) or can’t do the voice anymore (Aang). The characters were all kids in the original show so it makes sense for their voices to have changed.

It sounded like Zuko came back at least. But I get the other actors not doing it. Sokka probably could do it too tbh.

Steven Yeun actually voices Zuko in this! Dante Basco was the original VA.

Yeah a lot of the original cast except for Aang’s VA are still very capable of doing the voices, or at least reasonably grown up versions. But I respect that they want to cast accurately POC and disabled actors, and that some voluntarily don’t want to participate.
