MASTER YOUR ELEMENT.Avatar: The Last Airbender the live-action series arrives on February 22 only on Netflix.Watch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/...
Ehhhh… It’s high budget for sure, but I’m just not convinced live action avatar will ever be good. They could’ve remastered the cartoon with a fraction of the budget.
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!
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

Their message did not seem to reflect that sentiment
DiMartino called exiting the project “the hardest professional decision I’ve ever had to make,” adding: “Netflix’s live-action adaptation of ‘Avatar’ has the potential to be good. It might turn out to be a show many of you end up enjoying. But what I can be certain about is that whatever version ends up on-screen, it will not be what Bryan and I had envisioned or intended to make.”

Racebending again?
