The Netflix live-action adaptation TV series of Avatar: The Last Airbender is still in the works, but it is surrounded by controversy. The two original creators left the project in August 2020, and since then, criticism about the series has risen. Here’s all we know about the live-action Netflix series based on Avatar: The Last Airbender, including some exclusive new details.
The animated series, co-created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, was one of the most famous cartoons of the mid-2000s. In 2012, the series spawned The Legend of Korra, an equally influential spin-off series (both of which are streaming on Netflix in the majority of regions around the world).
What is Avatar: The Last Airbender’s plot?
The live-action remake’s story will be based on the animated version’s adventures. Civilization in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is divided into four distinct nations. The Air Nomads, Earth Kingdom, Fire Country, and Water Tribes are the four nations named after the elements. Only a few people known as “Benders” in each nation can use their nation’s factor by using regional martial arts and their telekinetic powers. The “Avatar” is the only user who can use all four items.
Aang is the most recent air nomad Avatar. Aang is awakened by Katara and Sokka of the Water Tribe after sleeping for 100 years in the “Avatar State.” After learning of the world’s destruction by the Fire Nation, Aang must master the abilities of the remaining elements with the aid of his new friends in order to restore peace to the nations.
Who is concerned with the Netflix series Avatar: The Last Airbender?
The most promising news early on in the project was that the Nickelodeon series’ original producers would be involved. This is in contrast to the previous live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which debuted in 2010. Regrettably, the original creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who were set to act as executive producers and showrunners, have stepped down.
Composer Jeremy Zuckerman was also expected to return to write the music for the live-action remake, but he stated in an interview that he is not officially signed on to the project, saying.
According to IMDBPro, Jang Chol Lee will work as a concept designer on the show, with previous credits including Big Hero 6, Tangled, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Beowulf. Dan Lin’s business, Rideback, is listed as an executive producer. Rideback is responsible for a number of major films, including the Sherlock Holmes films, the Lego Movies, and the IT films (mostly for Warner Brothers).
