My 8yo gave her seal of approval after seeing Aang in Avatar state, saying, 'this looks a lot better than that other dumb movie we watched long back (the avatar state eyes on that movie was super weird)'

Honestly, I think this looks well done and I'm excited to watch it! It may not be the original and it may be minorly unnecessary, but it looks done with love and reverence.
It will reach a new audience who wouldn't watch the original because it's a cartoon, and that's great!
I lost hope when the original creators left the project because it didn't respect their vision.
I regained my hope when I found out that they left, not actually because of creative differences, but because they were given a ton of money to create a new studio for Nickelodeon to create new Avatar content.
It's one of those rare cases where everyone is a winner!
Their message did not seem to reflect that sentiment
But apparently it was mainly due to creative control. Netflix wanted to go darker/grittier with possible white actors, explore romances, etc while the original creators wanted it to stay true to the childrens story
Racebending again?
I'm okay with this, but I also was okay with cowboy bebop live action lol
I hope everyone remembers that we don't need a copy of the original animation. We already have the original animation and trying to copy it in another medium usually is just inferior in every way
Let this be a new thing, an opportunity for a new audience to be reached with a new thing. I can always go back and watch the animation whenever I want.
Not sure how they can top the original movie. Why try to do better then a masterpiece?
Why does Hollywood continue to remake movies? because they didn’t ruin it the first time
I'm just glad they're pronouncing "Aang" correctly
Sounds like they specifically lingered on it a couple of times. This one looks like it's going to just kind of be a compressed version of the cartoon, which could be a lot worse, as we all know. Hopefully it's respectful and mostly consistent, and people who find they just need to know more can go back and watch the Nick series. Even if that leaves it sort of "slight" for those already invested, it will have value. Fingers crossed.
It pronounced like "Aang" right?
"Ay-ang? It's there an Ay-ang here today?"
