We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Well, glad I never got excited for it. Live action + ATLA is cursed (and wholly unnecessary).
Make a third animated Avatar series, guys. Earthbending Avatar, let's go.

Seriously though, why not just make an animated Avatar series starring a new Avatar. We don't need any live action remakes of something as good as Avatar was. If you really want to go the live action route then have it a new story - remaking the old one is frankly pointless
I really hope so, just scrap this live action idea completly or if you really want to - make it about a New Avatar - not Aang
A tale retold through the ages. He's a live-adaptation movie of a popular thing. We have some great people working on the project. No wait. They just left.
Maybe the cycle of the Avatar applies to the Live Action adaptions as well and this is next incarnation of it.
I love this wording.
I admire them for taking a stance but it does put Netflix in an odd position.
Maybe, as usual, Netflix will just throw a ton of money at it and hope that the trailer brings in the fans and new people alike.

I just don't see it working especially with Avatar already being on Netflix. It's just going to cause comprison and likely in a negative way
"And who knows? Netflix's live-action adaptation of Avatar has the potential to be good. It might turn out to be a show many of you end up enjoying. But what I can be certain about is that whatever version ends up on-screen, it will not be what Bryan and I had envisioned or intended to make."
I wonder what Netflix's vision is.
But just from this statement it doesn't sound the creators and Netflix split on the best terms. Live action Avatar the last air bender seems cursed.
If that's true that may damage the chances of the Avatar Series even animated on Netflix
The Original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender are no longer involved in the Netflix live action adaptation

FFS. This is almost the exact same thing that happened to the Percy Jackson live action adaptations, and we all know how that turned out. Ugh.

It surprised me at the time of the announcement that they were the showrunners and not consultants. Who wants to spend years of their career to tell the same story over again, especially when you can't do it the way you want to? So, I get it.
Bryan posted this 5 page statement
some quotes from the above statement:
some quotes from the above statement:
When Netflix brought me on board to run this series alongside Mike two years ago, they made a very public promise to support our Vision. Unfortunately, there was no follow-through on that promise. Though I got to work with some great individuals, both on Netflix's side and on our own small development team, the general handling of the project created what I felt was a negative unsupportive environment.
To be clear, this was not a simple matter of us not getting our way. Mike and I are collaborative people; we did not need all of the ideas to come from us. As long as we felt those ideas were in line with the spirit and integrity of Avatar, we would have happily embraced them.
However, we ultimately came to the belief that we would not be able to meaningfully guide the direction of the series.
...
Perhaps the team that remains might still be able to make something the fans of the original and an entirely new audience can enjoy.
...
I will put my time, energy, and talents towards projects that give me the most fulfillment, and where I am afforded trust and respect.
Life is too short to do otherwise.

The backlash is going to be huge. I hope Netflix reconsiders.
Also given the renewed popularity of the series, I am very surprised that there has been no effort to put out some new animated content. A mini Kyosi prequel series would be awesome. As would an adaptation of the graphic novel sequels to ATLA.
