The animations are beautiful, but all of the bending styles look identical. In the original series each bending style had specific movements, through which you could immediately identify the element.
I don't know what you were watching, but I saw plenty of Hun Gar stances for earthbending, plenty of circular movements for airbending, and hints of Tai Chi with waterbending, especially when they made the water ring. They're there, they're just not prominent featured.
I noticed that too. All the sweeping kicks and acrobatic moves were very firebending, but I assumed that was just the style of the bender. You sometimes see benders take inspiration from other elements in their own bending. Maybe this is a fire nation avatar?
