Ehhhh… It’s high budget for sure, but I’m just not convinced live action avatar will ever be good. They could’ve remastered the cartoon with a fraction of the budget.
Not sure how they can top the original movie. Why try to do better then a masterpiece?
I’m okay with this, but I also was okay with cowboy bebop live action lol
I hope everyone remembers that we don’t need a copy of the original animation. We already have the original animation and trying to copy it in another medium usually is just inferior in every way
Let this be a new thing, an opportunity for a new audience to be reached with a new thing. I can always go back and watch the animation whenever I want.
If you want something new, make something new. Otherwise this is just a marketing product repackaging peoples childhoods and trying to sell it back to them.
I don’t care? If it’s fun, and more people get to enjoy it, why is that bad? Let them play again in the same sandbox. It’s bad when an industry becomes too reliant on that type of media, and it’s bad when the content is, you know, bad, like the movie. But if it’s good content then why get a bug in your ass over some economic principle?
There’s room in the world for all of these things. You can comment on the industry trend without shitting on a specific product that isn’t even out yet
Definitely agree with you. If anything, that trailer just made me want to watch the original show again!
Honestly, I think this looks well done and I’m excited to watch it! It may not be the original and it may be minorly unnecessary, but it looks done with love and reverence.
It will reach a new audience who wouldn’t watch the original because it’s a cartoon, and that’s great!
I lost hope when the original creators left the project because it didn’t respect their vision.
I regained my hope when I found out that they left, not actually because of creative differences, but because they were given a ton of money to create a new studio for Nickelodeon to create new Avatar content.
It’s one of those rare cases where everyone is a winner!
Their message did not seem to reflect that sentiment
But apparently it was mainly due to creative control. Netflix wanted to go darker/grittier with possible white actors, explore romances, etc while the original creators wanted it to stay true to the childrens story
