Avatar: The Last Airbender

Oh hey, Avatar: the Last Airbender is getting the live-action treatment (again). Avatar (not the blue people one) follows Aang, a child with the power to control the elements, as he liberates the world from the tyrannical reign of the Fire Nation. Much like Cowboy Bebop’s Watanabe, the original creators of AtlA, Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, voiced their displeasure with Netflix’s direction of their series’ live-action adaptation. After a fallout over creative differences, Konietzko and DiMartino decided to produce their own trilogy of AtLA films with Nickelodeon’s new film studio, Avatar Studios.

“When Bryan and I signed on to the project in 2018, we were hired as executive producers and showrunners,” DiMartino wrote in a blog post. “In a joint announcement for the series, Netflix said that it was committed to honoring our vision for this retelling and to supporting us on creating the series. And we expressed how excited we were for the opportunity to be at the helm. Unfortunately, things did not go as we had hoped.”

Despite the creator’s exit over creative differences and the stink of M.Night Shyamalan’s farce of a live-action film, Netflix’s cast of Hollywood actors for the live-action show is packed with star power. Among them are Lost and Legend of Korra’s Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai, Prey’s Amber Midthunder as Princess Yue, and The Mandalorian’s Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh.

Here’s hoping Netflix’s show is flameo, my hotmen
