I'm mixed. On one hand this story has already been told. On the other hand, it could look really cool and it is the original team.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Live-Action Netflix Show Announced -
- Thread starter Grand Lunar
- Start date
So they can sell the same shit again to normalfags who don't watch (asian) cartoons.
It's an American cartoon though
what the fuck is wrong with you
I know. Still doesn't stop people from thinking it's anime.
It's netflix, expect there to be triple the niggers there were in the original.
More penis hair, please!
I didn't watch Last Air Bender as a kid. I assume it doesn't hold the same appeal to an adult without nostalgia. Watching them close to back to back, Korra was more entertaining for me. Less village of the week crap, better animation, more interesting main character and villains, better soundtrack, more unique setting...

Movie reviewer and Avatar fan E;R posted a reasonable reaction.
Personally, I don't care much for the original show, but even so I really don't see the point in making something that was meant to be told in animation being retold in live-action (besides money of course).

Yeah there really is nothing to gain for this story in a live action medium. And it's not exactly a Game of Thrones replacement either. I'm not sure what market this is aiming for.
i'm not going to get into an argument over a children's cartoon on A&H, so if you wanna' think the legend of "I'M THE AVATAR AND YOU GOTTA' DEAL WITH IT" korra is better then than the original, then by all means
The only reason why I'm not too troubled by this is that the franchise has already been butt-fucked enough by shitty adaptations. First there was the horrid live-action film and then Korra took a nasty shit on the universe as a whole. Even the spin-off comics are reportedly not that great. So yeah, I don't care that much. I'm a fan of the original but I'm at least eager to see how much of a dumpsterfire this will be and, if not, if it adds new elements to the story or characters that might be worth it.
I do wonder if they'll get Korean actresses to play that one girl with a scarred leg that wears a hanbok (Song), along with her mother, or if they'll do something else with them, to try to avoid accusations of "cultural appropriation". Sure, they only appeared on one episode, but given how people like to call others out on that...

I wish I archived this, but IGN had an article about how this live-action series could correct the original's "missteps." When I went back to look for it, they seem to have removed it entirely since all that comes up is a 404. They also put up a couple articles questioning whether it's smart to do the series in live-action.
I don't know what those "missteps" could possibly be other than that article was written by some dumb faggot who still won't accept Katara and Zuko didn't fug.

Considering Netflix's freedom of subject matters, they might make it more darker which might be cooler. Still not looking forward to it regardless.
the best thing to come from this will probably be the E;R review.
I think I've had this conversation before and I'm not sure this is true since I never found a citation. I have heard they had trouble marketing the show.
