I’m curious as to what everyone else thinks about the upcoming ATLA Netflix show. I’m a little concerned that this show would have some of the same issues as the M. Night movie, in terms of tone and what ultimately gets cut.

Not to mention, I don’t think there have been many animated shows that have been properly adapted to live-action. I wonder if the bending physics will just look goofy.

    I think there are many reasons Netflix might mess it up, but this one doesn’t worry me at all. At the time they announced it, I thought “ouch, either the show is shaping up bad, or it isn’t but they got something else more important going on”.

    And then like a month later they announced the creation of Avatar Studios, with Nickelodeon funding them to lead whatever projects they want, so I thought “there you go!”. Even if the Netflix show looked to be amazing, they would have been very silly to pass that up.
