Netflix’s live-action Avatar has its heart in the right place, but its pacing and uneven performances leave a lot to be desired.

If they were amazing actors, I'd assume you'd have no issue giving them praise? Why is the opposite not true?

Because they're children dude. Praise does not have harmful psychological consequences. There is no downside to giving a child credit for doing something well. There is tremendous harm in attacking a child over something they did objectively correctly, but inevitably not to the impossible standards of armchair critics whose entire presence on the Internet is built on giving exaggerated and heartless criticism.

like the kid that played Anakin in Star Wars. he caught so much shit over it, that he gave up acting all together.

In 2012, Lloyd explained that his decision to retire from acting in 2001 was due to bullying at school and harassment by the press, both in response to his role in The Phantom Menace.

Damn that's sad. Haven't seen the phantom menace in a while but I thought he was pretty good.
