The show releases on February 22 which is 19 years and a day after the original was release.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest shows ever created so here's to Netflix not fricking this up. It was announced in 2018. The co-creators, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, of the original show were supposed to be fully involved but left in 2020 before filming. Call me cautiously optimistic. I am praying they get this right. Aang and Uncle Iroh are two of my personal G.O.A.T characters and I just want to see the live action do the show justice. I need Azula to be a fricking headcase and Zuko to embrace the dark side before Uncle Iroh helps him see his true fate.
This is a world with unlimited potential and if hits, I think we may have a classic on our hands.
We won't discuss the first adaptation which was an utter disgrace by M. Night Shyamalan.
Official Teaser - Released on November 9, 2023
Official Trailer - Released January 24, 2024
Final Trailer - Released February 21, 2024
I think it will have a little bit more grace than some others when it comes to show changes. This show is supposed to be really dark at times and really explore the genocide of the Airbenders and some of the other grief and tough scenes that were only implied in the orignal series. I would also love to see more interactions between Aang and Gyatso.
Please cook Netflix. I beg you. I truly beg you.

Finished the first episode this is my take away
Airbender genocide is a brutal watch definitely was not expecting to see people getting roasted
Aang and Katara are probably the weak links in acting with Zuko, Ozai, and Sokka being the strong points. Hoping the weak links can improve
Sokka actually putting some of a fight to Zuko was a nice touch but still clear Zuko out ranks him in fight ability.
Iroh and Zuko dynamic seems to be on point so far but the talk between Iroh and Aang seemed off.
Kind of wished that Aang came to the realization that all his people were dead happened during him find Gyatso’s body and not Gran Gran randomly roasting him
Overall good episode everyone seems to be in character and tha acting seems to be fine for the most part. The bending is top notch too.

There is something off about the editing. Almost seems like it’s sped up and the transitions are so quick
It’s like they are filming at 48 FPS

Finishing this up now. I liked it a lot. Kinda got a little stale by the last episode but that’s because I binged it

I watched the animated series 2-3 years ago and it's one of the best TV stories I've watched in the last 5 years. Overall I'd say the Netflix version was good, but they really needed more than 8 episodes. If you drew up an outline of the first season from the animated series, I'd say they hit all of the main points, but that's all they did. It felt like it was missing some of the in between stuff that helps with the pacing of the story.
If this is going to be how they handle the entire series, I'd watch the animated version instead. For the people where animation is a deal breaker, this version is still a good show, but I'd give it a 4 stars instead of the 5 stars I'd give the animated series.

Had to stop halfway through episode one Monday, granted me being extremely tired had something to do with it, but after seeing the "old" guy with the awful fake beard 10 minutes into the episode I gave in to the sleep instead of fighting it. Not that looking like a CW show makes it bad, but man when you can't even make a guy look old and use the worst fake beard of all time, it's hard to take it seriously.
I'm not saying the show is bad because I haven't given it a fair shot and I hope yall are enjoying it, but man, what I have watched was pretty bad. Literally laughed out loud just looking at the one guy.

Finished Ep 1 with my 11 year old. That was more intense than I was anticipating
The acting is atrocious from the kids, but so far so good on the story.
More importantly, my 11 year old loved it. Hard to find shows that both of us can enjoy together.

I finished it last night, and I really enjoyed it overall. I thought it would pick up a little bit more, but the final episode was great.
Iroh is still awesome, and the kid playing Zuko did a great job.
I think Aang and Katara were better towards the end. The guy playing Sooka was solid the whole way through. I really hope they do a second season.

The kid playing the Avatar and the Brother both suck on an epic level.
The acting overall is horrible on top of those two.
The story is ok and formulaic and the visuals are good. It’s all ruined by the bad acting
