Due to the recent massive success of Korra and Avatar on Netflix, Paramount has decided to go all in on the show.

3 stand alone movies have been approved along with 3 new tv series.

The first series will start in 2025 and focuses on an earth Avatar, set 100 years in the future from Korra

The first movie will also debut in 2025, which focuses on the original Avatar cast as adults.

My kids really liked these shows. My daughter (in 2021 when she was 8) even rigged up her own Korra outfit.

Any claims of cultural misappropriation in these series?

The first new avatar the last Airbender should be released this year if I recall correctly.

The first new avatar the last Airbender should be released this year if I recall correctly.

The first new avatar series will be in 2025. It was announced yesterday.

You may be thinking of the live Action series which is being made by people who have nothing to do with the animated series. The live action series has not yet received a release date but principle photography was finished this past summer so it should be ready in 2023 if they want to release it.

I learned today that Korra may very well be alive in the series set 100 years from her time. Avatar's live an extraordinarily long time. Aang only died very young because he lost 100 years as kid trapped in the ice.

Where does this movie rank in the decade of 2010s movies???!?!?!1

I have never watched it, no interest at all.

I am looking forward to the live action show this year on netflix, I have high expectations as it supposedly has a large budget, ~10 million an episode.

 

[Foosball God]

So this will likely be on Paramount+ I don't need another streaming service.

the live action movie was god awful. They could not have got more wrong if they tried.

Thankfully(and hopefully) the makers of the live action TV series say they learned a lot from what went wrong in the movie and hope to avoid all those mistakes.

We will see...

I was under the impression that this will be on Netflix as they are driving the series.

My son is a huge fan. He's jacked for this, but also nervous they might screw it up.

It is new to every one, it was released just a couple of hours ago

It "looks" right so I am keeping my fingers crossed while acknowledging it is far easier to nail a look rather than a feel.

Is the expectation this series of episodes will just cover Book 1?

My guess is yes since Toph is not listed as a character in this first season. But it is also a bit confusing as Azula is listed as a main character in season one, and she was barely in book 1 of the animated series.

That's funny because my son sent me this trailer earlier today via text and I replied asking him "where's Toph?"

Toph is a fan favorite so if this season gets enough views, I am certain she will be in season 2. She makes her debut in Book 2 of the animated series

The live action series drops tomorrow on netflix.

My daughter asked me a question I could not answer.

"What animated tv shows that were adapted into live action tv series were successful?"

We both struggled to think of anything obvious. We came up with a ton of animated tv shows that turned into live action movies but not into live action tv shows...

Who’s binging today? I‘m home alone tonight and planning to watch one or two. Turns out it’s a good weekend to be Covid positive.

 

[MTskibum]

I will watch 1-2 episodes this weekend with the kids.

We will watch at least a couple this weekend. I have avoided any reviews so I have no idea what people think so far.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

My son just reported he’s binged the entire season. Hope he doesn’t have any exams this week. Says he needs a rewatch before making final judgment.

well I for one am going to take this as a general positive since if it was garbage, I assume he would not bother with a rewatch.

He's 19 and a massive Avatar geek. He said "it wasn't terrible" and will watch it again and probably again and again and some more after that.

very minor spoiler - He said they screwed up Bumi - a character I didn't even remember - in a way that disappointed him. He said they changed Iroh - not necessarily in a bad way but he's different in a way my son doesn't like I guess.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I watched the first episode. The stayed true for the most part to the general start of the story. Some scenes were frame by frame almost exact as some in the first 2 episodes of the original.

I was not impressed with the acting. None of the kids really hit it out of the park for me.

The look of the show was roughly on point.

I would give the first episode a 5.5 out of 10. It is enough for us to continue watching and roughly about what we expected.

 

[thecatch]

I’ve watched most of the season with my family and we’ve all enjoyed it. My kids loved the animated series but I didn’t know anything about the show or story going in.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

After three episodes I feel they got it spot on. Minor casting issues maybe. It’s been a long time since I saw the animated series but according to my dull memory I think they’ve done a great job just based on the first three episodes.

I emphatically agree

 

[NewlyRetired]

We finished 3 episodes so far.

They nailed the look and feel of Jet and his crew.

I am interested to see how they weave Azula and her minions into season 1 since they don't really appear until season 2 normally.

The aging up of Sokka takes some getting used to. He feels 2 years older than he should be which makes him much more mature than he is in the early parts of the original.

My daughter said they have also changed the Suki/Sokka story line a bit. They removed Sokka's looking down on females as being able to be strong and also gave Suki far more romantic interest in Sokka than the original series at this point.

I walked into it not knowing anything about it. Never watched the animated series, but it caught my attention as I was looking for something to watch. Good enough to keep my attention. Fun watch all the way through. Id probably watch the series again down the road. Altho it didn't interest me enough to go watch the animated show.

 

[NewlyRetired]

We finished up season 1 this past weekend.

Wife rated it a 5, daughter was a 5.5 and I was a 6. We all agreed that we would have been probably a point higher on all our scores if we were not massive fans of the original.

I was very happy that they significantly limited the changes and overall were able to hit all the major points.

Seasons 2 and 3 have already been green lit by Netflix/Paramount as it has been an international hit. Since it premiered two weeks ago, Avatar: The Last Airbender has been the No. 1 English-language TV show, amassing 41.1 million views in just the first 11 days. Additionally, the show was No. 1 in 76 countries and in the Top 10 in 92.

The casting of Toph will obviously be a massive factor in the success going forward for the final 2 seasons.

Note that this is intended to be the only new Avatar product on Netflix. Everything else is suppose to be on Paramount+.
