*laughs* The first comic is awesome and shall be my favorite.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Avatar is a totally different style of Nights other movie and it doesn't mix well with his "known" style. I can handle a movie changing segments or order of events in a book/tv show. Just because it's a different adaptation, doesn't mean it will automatically will be bad. Howl's Moving Castle is a perfect example of that.
It's just the acting, lacking of character development and not understanding the basic elements of the show (like how bending works) makes it hard to watch.

By the way, have you seen this? It's a group of people acting out parts of the movie and it's hilarious:
