In my opinion animated ATLA (not Korra) succeds at being one of those timeless children classic adventures. And it's only 10 years old. What's the point of this?
Just stop remaking everything.

But if they stop remaking, they might have to gamble on new IPs that don't have a pre-established audience to lean on to make a shitty product.

I'm just baffled on why this is being done myself. They do remember that the last time this was done live action it was garbage, right? Like, what's the story even going to be? The Siege of Ba Sing Se? Bumi's rise to be king of Omashu? Just a fucking retread of the show?

Ya know we should really have a poll on which characters will get blackwashed or faggotwashed since asians are still considered basically white in the eyes of the REEEEEEE
I'm wondering if they're going to keep Shyamalamadingdong's standard from the film myself.

We don't even need a poll for this...
Faggotwashed: Aang since he's an air nomad.
Niggerwashed: either Toph or Zuko, whichever's most popular. Could follow the movie and make Zuko a pajeet.

They didn't do it to Marco Polo so I'm skeptical they'll do it to this. You guys are way too quick to freak out about woke shit.

I agree the woke freakout over Netflix is probably overblown (especially since the original creators are about as likely to make this shit woke as Netflix is), but Marco Polo was made by a very different Netflix, with very different leadership, and I don't think they are making an Avatar series with the intent of desperately trying to get the Chinese market to subscribe.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I really wanted to like Marco Polo, and some parts of it were very good. But on the whole the show was a failure and I don't just mean financially.

Let us do some autism here.

Ang: Chinese, or chinese white mix.

Katara and Sokka: Fictional ethnicity with blue eyes, dark skin, culture closest to eskimo.

Zuko: Japanese, or japanese white mix.

Hm... there is always spray tan, or casting all of them black and gay and lesbian for diversity.

Wew uz Kang nation an shieeeet.

Of course, they could just make it totally fine in order to lure all those evil alt right white men into the next series, where Korra and Asami will do live action interracial that will absolutely must horrify all straight white men.:evil:
