Netflix's Avatar Already Surpassed The Last Airbender Film

New photos of Avatar the Last Airbender Live Action dropped and honestly these look better than I ever expected. It's clear from the five or so photos that were recently released that this studio is taking the source material seriously with the amount of detail in each still.
I'm looking forward to seeing more photos and future trailers and eventually Book 1.
Are you looking forward to this upcoming series from Netflix?

[@boxingelfis1499]

The only thing that worries me is that I heard the O.G. last airbender creators are no longer working on the show due to creative differences.

[@ChunnyKay]

That was my concern too, but I'm still holding out hope

[@Garage-Catto]

It doesn’t exactly mean that the show will be bad, plus, two other of the original writers are still on the team. I can’t remember their names but I know they wrote the day of black sun (I can’t remember the name, but they wrote the finale of season two among many other great episodes)

[@nightingale4786]

though i completely understand the holdups some of the fandom has about this, the truth of the matter is that bryke are not the only main writers and that a lot of the best episodes, such as southern raiders, zuko alone, the entire character premise of toph, etc, were from the minds of arron ehaez and elizabeth welch. plus, we already have an example of the avatar universe being handled just by bryke (korra) and though it's not bad, it still doesn't capture all of atla's charm. i guess what i'm trying to say is that though bryke are immensely important to atla, that show was the result of the efforts of many. imo, so long as the project is helmed by fans of the original franchise, i can see it potentially keeping the heart which made avatar as special as it was.

[@ObscureTimez]

I'm not worried one bit; remember how the Death Note og creators supported the live action and it turned out like dogshit? Exactly

[@C.V.Q]

It was confirmed that avatar studios does have some kind of connection to the Netflix production and Mike/Bryan are still credited writers on the series. They did leave their major roles as producers but it looks like they are fine with still having their names attached to the series after Daniel Kim took over. You have to remember, Bryke dont have live action directing experience (animation director is a completely different part of the industry with its own unique skillset) and one of the reasons Netflix might have been controlling is because of that fact.

[@davidbodor1762]

4:30 - Finally! Someone gets it. Azula is all about the performance, not the looks. Everyone keeps saying she's too kind or cute or whatever, without realizing that she obviously would look just like a kid, because that's what she is. It's her acting that needs to be menacing. She will basically be Joffrey from Game of Thrones, she doesn't need to look evil, she needs to act evil.

[@azazellon]

Azula is canonically 14 years old. Of course she's gonna look fucking young. She's a kid.

Honestly, I'm not that worried anymore. The casting seems stellar, the team has a benchmark of what not to do (the M. Night film), the OG creators are involved with the new production team (yes they did leave initially, but that was likely in part to form Avatar Studios, the production team changed since then, and they're helping out a bit with it now, just not as showrunners), and the One Piece live-action was absolutely phenomenal.

While I’m trying to keep my hopes low in case the show turns out not good, it does give me excitement to know that the episodes will be longer than the cartoon’s. There were a few things that could’ve had a bit more fleshing out and screen time from the original cartoon, and I hope that Netflix really takes the extra time to build up the world and characters more. I think they really have an opportunity to make this show stand out and bring new life to the franchise that it hasn’t had in years

@jonathandixon1305 Let's pretend it's a 2nd or 3rd degree burn then, which is more intense. "It will take at least three weeks for a third-degree burn to heal if it's small. Larger third-degree burns can take a couple of years to heal completely." "Depending on the depth of the wound, second-degree burns can take anywhere from one week to several months to heal." For scaring "Yes, a third-degree burn will likely cause a scar on your skin." "Scarring is possible with second-degree burns" So once he's been looking for what I think in the show was a year and he started his hunt with a cover on his eye he should have a healed scar by the time the show is starting.

The problem with this live adaption compared to One Piece is that this already has the greatest moving pictures story and greatest voice acting of all time (the orginial like you said). So the acting and writing of this live action must be done with perfection to even start competing with the original. Then they also need to employ great real looking graphics that beats the stunning animated visuals of the original.

Don't you think so?

[@JjAnteros]

honestly the Avatar film wasn't good, but it also isn't terrible, it is definitely not the worst film i have ever seen, and i would just say that that film is just below average tbh, though, i would give it a 4 or 5 out of 10, yes the Earth bending scene is terrible, but the last few ending scenes really aren't that bad imo, then again maybe i have just seen more bad films then the average person has, however i haven't seen that many Netflix films so then again maybe i haven't seen that many bad films compared to people our age lol

[@johnpaullogan1365]

i mean i've seen rocky horror picture show so i agree it is not the worst movie ever made but i think it probably in the bottom 10%

Rumor has it, Katara falls for Zuko instead of Ang....

[@Mortyrian]

maybe if I go into it expecting another M Night I will be pleasantly surprised

[@bananaspliitz9136]

Honestly as long as they don’t call him ong and there is no slow bending w excessive dance moves I’ll take it. Might not watch it more than once but it’ll b such a drastic improvement that I’d feel accomplished having done so.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

they can have slow bending with dance moves. they had that a couple times inn the series but it doesn't make sense in combat.

[@bananaspliitz9136]

@@johnpaullogan1365 when I say slow bending w excessive dance moves I mean the bending not matching the energy and effort put into it. I always flash back to the scene in the movie where the earth benders go through 6+ powerful feeling movements just for a large dirt clod to slowly move through the air. The discrepancy in the timing of the action and its results is jarring.

[@zugz8632]

I mean you said it yourself, they're doing stuff that wasn't in book 1 in season 1 and the original creators pulled out of the show. About to be another Cowboy Bebop and Death Note.

[@wlyyyhowie]

What I’m sad about is the original creators aren’t working on the live action 💔😔 I love the cast of Iroh I see uncle iroh in Paul %100🥰 he’s an amazing actor love the show Kim’s convenience go watch it’s great🥰

If they somehow find a way to scroll this up alot of anger people going to be breathing down Netflix neck.

[@lizziesmusicmaking]

The visuals, costumes and casting do seem much closer to ATLA than they were in The Last Airbender. It's easy to recognize who you're supposed to be looking at. That's a good start. I think we'll have to wait and see, but it has promise.

[@lugrandgg]

Is it too much to hope for a episode (well, maybe not a whole episode, at least a sequence) of Momo trying to heal people?

Crazy that everyone is ignoring blurry Mai and Ty Lee behind Azula

[@Balbaneth]

Avatar the last Airbender show was amazing. The last of its kind

[@a2jc234]

M. Night was already doing bad movies leading up to the Last Airbender. He is just not good with big budget movies. It’s when he has a small budget, small setting and a few talented actors is when he shines.

You're explaining what i would call *CHILDHOOD TRAUMA* 1:29

[@peteramaranth85]

[@genzeuronymous7787]
