The official Avatar: The Last Airbender Youtube channel has announced the birth of Avatar Studios, dedicated to creating Avatar content to satiate our souls.
Now you're probably hyperventilating, but I have LOADS of news for you. (if you already haven't heard it from Youtube of course, the news is all over the internet! HELL YEAH!)
Firstly, you probably remember that Netflix announced a Live Action Avatar show. Fans were never very excited about it in the first place, but soon after, Brian and Mike (the original creators of the show, referred to Bryke in this chapter for simplicity) left, and all over the internet, fans are saying ,'Whatevs.'
Before I get into my TEDTalk about the live action, let's talk about Bryke.In the past, Bryke has talked about wanting to create more shows in the Avatarverse, and recently, they have announced new series and movies to expand the Avatar universe.
I repeat, Bryke has announced new series and movies to-
Yep. Series and movieS (PLURAL HELL YEAH!)
Now let's hear the breakdown of the full story, starting with Netflix.
Avatar the Last Airbender and The Live Action Problem
In 2010, The Last Airbender by M Night Shamalayan was released, and ATLA fans still make memes about this. (Seriously, go on Reddit and you'll see. They still haven't recovered. Poor peeps).
And when Netflix announced a Live Action series of ATLA, some fans were excited, some were indifferent, and a whole lot of them didn't want the show.
Why? I think M Night Shamalayan's movie was one of the reasons. But Netflix is probably the other.
If you've watched Netflix 'adaptations' of animated shows, they aren't really great ( cough *Death Note Movie cough *Fate the Winx Saga* cough cough). They stripped the entire charm of the original series and put this 'dark and deep' filter over them.
We don't want that shit.
Netflix and Its Wattpad Tendencies
Netflix said they wanted the live action remake to have 'romance, sex and blood'. Like, bro, if I wanted bad romance, sex and blood, I'd just read a 15-year old's wattpad stories, ok?
The true charm of ATLA was the immersive worldbuilding, the intricately weaved plot, and most importantly, the compelling characters. ATLA was a story that appealed to both adults and children, because of its deeper, nuanced themes underlying a masterfully written plot, spiced with childish humor.
And Netflix wants to turn it into a porn hub probably-
They even said they would age up the characters (maybe because they don't want Cuties backlash all over again, pfft) and make the show more 'dark and mature'.
