So excited 😆 hopefully it’s not all lies like the movie trailer was.

    Meh. I’m burned out on retelling the same stories using live action. What would get me actually excited is a new Avatar story.

        This was exactly my reaction. What does swapping out beautifully expressive animation for awkward child actors and decent-but-bland-CGI do to improve on the original?

          I would support an HD remake of the original. It’s clearly a bit dated, not to mention the book 1 digital releases have really strange artifacts.

          16:9 AR, higher resolution and animation quality similar to Korra would be great.

      yeah, that’s a fair take on it. I was hoping they were going to an original story too when I first heard about it.

      I mean thats happening too. There’s an animated series about the avatar after Korea coming in 2025. There’s also an animated movie following the aang as an adult coming out around the same time

    This looks amazing. I don’t want to get to high of hopes but I can’t wait to watch this.

          Oh I see, I heard something about that. It does cast a bit of a omen on the project.

    Huh, I liked the show okay, not a diehard fan, but that trailer actually gave me chills.

    I’ll check it out.

    The action looks awesome, kind of wary of how the kid playing aang stumbled over his lines, but everyone else seems pretty well cast, the production looks great.

      Yeah the show is available to watch now.

      It’s not bad, but it is rather different from the cartoon. So I’m curious what you think of it.

        Oh it is? There’s for letting me know, I hadn’t realized it was already released.

        There was something about the cartoon that just didn’t click with me, and I love cartoons, so I’ll be very interested in giving this a try.
