With the trailer out, what're your thoughts on the new earthbender avatar and the new series?
Are you talking about the Avatar Aang film? I really enjoyed it! I thought they did an absolutely fantastic job of creating continuity from 2008. The style matched, the voices matched, and the way they aged the characters made perfect sense. For anyone who is skeptical of yet another reboot - this one is actually good!
(Edit: corrected the film title, I'd remembered the tagline)
@redlady013, I'm excited for Season 3. The live action Netflix remake is actually pretty close to the cartoon. The acting is solid. Azula is badass. Looking forward to it!
@cuddlefaery not the film, the new series with the new avatar. They're making an earth bending avatar. But you're exactly right about the movie! It's so so so good. While it felt to short and the plot was basic it was also classic Airbender style the entire time and the gaang never changed. Except now everyone is 1000x hotter.
@ProfHermes I've never seen the live action series is it that good? I've avoided all live action versions of avatar thh
@redlady013 I also enjoyed the recent live action series. This one was way better than the atrocities done in the early 00s 😅 not to mention I absolutely squeed at the cameo by Abed from Community (Danny Pudi). I thought pretty much the entire casting was spot on and they managed to translate it well despite the change in medium.
@redlady013 It is very good. Ignore all the live action movies. Just watch this live action series. I guess I didn’t see the promo you are referring to regarding the Earth Avatar. The only earth Avatar I am aware of was Kyoshi.
The Avatar live action MOVIE is trash (2010), utter garbage, it a bad MOVIE not just a bad Avatar movie, I find it personally offensive how crappy it is.
The Avatar live action SERIES is charming, to be fair the Avatar fan community have mixed feelings about the live action series some saying it's worst than the live action movie (those people are insane but they exist).
The Avatar ANIMATED MOVIE is also very charming, if you have not watched Legend of Korra I would watch the movie first, just because I went in with improper expectations based on Korra and as such I didn't like the movie as much at first. When I looked it without Korra goggles I like it very much. Regardless it was very good and it is gorgeous visually.
I heard they were doing a new Animated Series. I will eventually watch it.
I enjoyed what I saw of Netflix series. I love the series generally. Movies ok.
Huge Avatar: The Last Airbender fan here. I personally hate the Avatar live-action remake on Netflix mainly because they butchered the message and the meaning of the stories by watering it down and making the dialogue too expository. The characters are flat. They talk about how they feel more than they express it. Honestly for the budget Netflix had, I was really hoping for better.
However the graphics are really good for the bending so at least it has that over the 2010 Avatar movie. No doubt the old Avatar movie is worse than the live-action series but the live-action series still misses the mark by a lot. In my opinion the new movie, however, is really cute and was honestly a breath of fresh air. Probably the only project I've seen that actually captures some of that magic from the original series
I generally don’t take well to live action remakes at all but I have to agree with @Brownbabybear on this one
Might have to rewatch the OG series and LOK during a cuddle lmao
