Mistake on my part @ 10:26 that was a clip of Arden Cho who is playing June.
May or May not have recorded this video at 3AM :)
No worries my friend
All of what you said means nothing to me personally if they don't do earth bending justice....
Was about to say something. Glad you caught it. Lol
Hey Avatarist, this isn’t me trying to promote my podcast here, I just want you to take a listen. I love ATLA, and I hope one day to talk to you about the themes you’ve decoded into public discourse cause you’re fuckin fun to listen to man. The show is called “On Urantian Soil”. It’s on Spotify. If you have time, the first episode is like 15 minutes. Either way, thank you for the content brother, look forward to the day I get to say thanks in person.
You will love cowboy bebop and Alita
All I’m gonna say is: Netflix better not mess this up, both for their sake, and for ours.
I'm more worried now than I was before because of the Witcher drama, I really hope they have writers that will actually follow the lore of the world.
Yeah... That's what I thought when they announced the Cowboy Bebop live action series... We all know how that turned out 😢
They fucked up my fave book series. So I have no hope.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Given a lot of anime is possibly getting pulled along with other stuff yeah avatar live action needs to do well
My only major concern is that the original creators of ATLA abandoned this project due to "creative differences", meaning THEY saw something they didn't like about the way Netflix was approaching something. I suppose time will tell whether or not this winds up being something major or not.
i heard that during the production of atla there was one person who played a big role in keeping creative flow from going overboard (?), but he was not present during the production of korra and that's why it end up being questionable. two creators work without him now so maybe they lack something and that's why they decided to leave the project. i admire their creativity and ideas but even their dragon prince is received weirdly like do they know how to tame their creativity tho?
and in the end like maybe live action will not be their creation but it doesn't mean it will be bad
idk if what i say it true but it does make sense for me in some way
edit: by "one person" i ment a writer(maybe producer?), didn't meen to diminish their position to "just some person who does something idk what". keep in mind that what i said was just some opinion of a person i knew so take it as an discussion starter 😭
also it seems to me that i mixed up something about tdp creators soooo dont mind me please
@@maziksizik5601
The person you're thinking of is Aaron Ehasz, with his wife - Elizabeth Ehasz
They were both major writers in ATLA, and they weren't present for Korra
@@petaryordanov1844 thanks!!!
It may be that their story does not work in live action, because it was made for animation. So Netflix has to do major changes, at that point it is no wonder they would leave.
Minor Creative differences might of been the “public reason” they gave at the time but in reality the two creators left the Netflix project because Paramount offered them THEIR OWN PRODUCTION STUDIO, which was announced two months after they officially left the Netflix project. Deals like that take months and they probably had left the Netflix adaptation weeks before it went public.
Another thing I hope they can pull off as well is the soundtrack. The music of the original was so thematically complementary and moving just so on point. Whenever I see an image from the show the music automatically comes along with the memory for me.
yess this! this is so important and i feel many people absolutely underestimate the brilliance of the music in atla
i belive the original composer of Avatar is coming back for the Live action project. we shouldn't worry about the soundtrack of VFX. the writing is the most important thing they need to do well
@@stormdragon2529 I heard that the composer left with the creators and now works at Avatar Studios, so I believe he won’t be involved in this
SECRET TUNNELLLL SECRET TUNEELLLLL THROUGH THE MOUNTAINNNN
@@yaaxis they better have that in this haha
That clip wasn’t the actress playing Kyoshi. That was Arden Cho (known for Teen Wolf) and she’s portraying June in the ATLA live adaptation
I was looking for this comment
I was looking for this comment as well LMAOOO
Also looking for this comment, wondered if anyone else noticed
wonder how they messed that up when june’s picture was literally above her 😭
@@bugfaced The thought of someone editing this video trying to sync the picture of June with the narration saying "Kyoshi" cracks me up a bit lol .. Like, "Does something feel strange about this cut.... Nah, Render and Publish!"
Netflix CANNOT afford to screw up this live-action ATLA series. Few shows in history have had the lasting impact and depth (especially for a kid's show) that ATLA has had over the last 15+ years. I am equal parts excited and anxious to see how well the series turns out.
I'm sure season 1 will be great, but then they'll probably do some weird sequels for more money like with the witcher
Like that ever stopped them from making garbage before 😭
boy if they mess this one up they ain't getting no reputation back
@@elongatedsedation324 right sksk if anything they’ll just cancel and move on
We already had a terrible Live Action Movie, one of the worst Hollywood Movies I've ever seen. The 2 Lead Creators of the OG Animated Series already left the Netflix Project over Creative Differences. I'm not getting my hopes up.
It's rarely the fault of the actors that a show like this fails. It's usually the writers, directors and the people casting the actors.
It's usually not the writer or directors' fault either. It's just the fan base hyping it up like this guy in this video and getting mad if they (a) basically do the same thing but live action because it's pointless or (b) not doing the same thing because it doesn't match up exactly and they get upset it's too different. Live action adaptation only ends up being good if most people never actually saw the original.
@@rewardilicious it's partially true to be completely honest. Animations often are made in such a way to exaggerate movement to the point where it's impossible to recreate in real life. Witcher combat is... I'll be honest. It wasn't that bad. But the cuts, and without reading books years ago I would be so fucking lost in the plot. Polish version was more faithful to the original but Jesus if this aged and looks ugly for today standard.
ATLA have potential in the way - it's based on very well known, documented and practiced martial arts. Most of fights don't require physical contacts, rest is CGI. Cast is Asian and it fits since the whole show is based on Asian cultures. And on top of that they have entire story presented to them. Netflix know by this time how much people hate those story remixes to seeing this series again, now "remastered" in real life. Hope they just won't cut the story for lolz.
And yeah, story had a few hiccups here and there so they could be fixed. But it's nothing major really
that's a big flop of the 2010 film, though the actors did also play a role. The writing was bad, the cinematography was bad, who knows what the hell Shyamalan was up to, the casting directors cast the whitest people they could for an Asian based film (oh and fun fact, Shyamalan originally wanted JESSE MCCARTNEY as Sokka XD). The acting is definitely varied. most everyone is as expressive as a falling brick wall, we only get like 1 scene of Zuko having any angry energy, and its for literally no reason.
It's really pathetic that the only character that they came close to getting right is freaking ZHAO. Like, screw the main cast, but we'll get Zhao right.
@@typo1345 Shyamalan wanted story to be more grimm and we all saw how it ended 😂
@@typo1345 The acting in that was abysmal, yes indeed. Problem with casting kids who can't act just cuz they're the right age and know martial arts
That's one thing I love about this show. Adults can watch it and care about what's going on. It has so many adult themes it's insane
Shows back then was actually for adults but they put in this " it's a cartoon for kids as a excuse " 8 year old me Just enjoyed the colour full animation and bending styles , 22 year old appreciated the in depth story arc of each character and over all storyline
Every single year I watch it again, it gets better
The Avatar amimation is enjoyable for adult too
thats a big reason I hope they get it right, alot of older folks are so stubborn about what games and animation are, and everyone needs to hear this story!
I'm in my 50s and I love this show so much. I saw part of it with my young son when it first came out, and ended up watching it again on my own, twice. This is honestly one of the best series ever. They better not mess it up.
@KiriothTV. All singers, actors and politics are in the same club, the club of freemasonry.
At different levels, more or less involved into sick rituals, but still a member of this cult of death.
Considering how awful the live action avatar movie was and how bad Netflix adaptations have been obviously many people wouldn’t be that excited for it. Hopefully this will, be different, and will be a faithful adaptation to the original series.
I was gonna say my expectations are at zero so the bar is pretty low
And nobody cares anymore we already knew it’s Bad cause we though so.
What movie?
Netflix really fluctuates between really good remakes and really bd remakes, I agree, the avatar movie is the worst. However the new netflix serie Wednesday is pretty great in my opinion.
@@visionentertainment8006 There is no movie in Ba Sing Se...
I'm giving this adaption a chance not for the quality of the adaptation but rather for the effort they're putting into making the show.
Same here. I’m not expecting a perfect adaptation of the show, I’m just expecting a great show that shows why we love the original series and how they love it too…hopefully.
I have ZERO expectations, but I am giving them a chance too because of the effort.
Yk what yea this the mindset imma gonna have. I keep saying I don't have high hopes for it, but now I KEEP hearing about it months later. I'll give it a chance.
so the bare minimum. that's so low
@Liam Andrew Agreed. I don't think we should expect a perfect adaptation because I would argue it is impossible; when switching mediums, there will always be things that cannot translate perfectly. But I think what can make an adaptation good is when changes need to be made, they are handled in a way to still respect the spirit of the source material.
My absolute favorite part of the Avatar series was the scope and depth of the relationship between Zuko and Iroh. They had some Will and Uncle Phil moments that absolutely shredded me emotionally, and mind you I'm probably on the older end of the Avatar fanbase. I was already 21 in 2005, but growing up in the 90s, in the golden age of cartoons telling interesting stories with some times complex or even dark themes to children, I am primed to accept animated forms of entertainment as not simply being something for children.
Man, I'm so glad they got around to finally making a live action for Avatar. For the first time.
yep, first time ever
There's definitely never been a live action Avatar.
I'm just concerned because the original creators of the anime literally left because they felt Netflix wasn't respecting their original story and how they wanted it told.
If it's a rumor or speculation, don't use the word "literally"
The original creators also made Korra so I don't think thats a good metric to pre judge this 💀
@@sammydray5919 really difficult to blame the creators for Korra's shortcomings when Nick was tripping them up constantly.
@@Elipson52008 I am sure the network really fucked them over in terms of scheduling and just season lengths in general but honestly even from Book 1 Korra seemed like a huge step down in terms of writing.
@@stillwatersrundeep001 xD they've LITERALLY said this in an interview lol
There are a lot of people saying that Aang’s actor looks too young for Katara’s and the love interest aspect is going to be awkward. But I think it’s going to play out perfectly. Think about how that dynamic was in season 1. It was a puppy love that wasn’t really reciprocated because Katara thought of Aang as a little brother. But as the show went on, she progressively took him more seriously as a love interest. As the filming of this series goes on, Gordon will grow into the young man that Katara saw Aang as in season 3.
She is older than him but he’s also older than her lol
Maybe part of the “creative differences” between the creators and the NetFlix showrunners was in suggesting Zutara as endgame (actually making Aang let go of his attachment to her in order to unlock his seventh chakra, instead of the eleventh-hour lion turtle deus ex machina in the animated series).
Yeah and they didn't become official.until season 3. So it would make sense it starts off as a pining type crush while they are young!
@@Ironcabbit I would be majorly disappointed. I’m over this “Zutara” nonsense. It’s such a vapid and shallow ship. Most girls find Zuko “hot” and want to see themselves as the pretty yet strong Katara. That’s it. That’s the whole ship in a nutshell. It’s annoying.
Ngl even at the end of season 3, I was lowkey thinking of Aang as too young for her. The kiss surprised me XD given that Aang starts out super childlike in season 1, the casting seems a great fit, and I think by the time they've reached the end in filming, the actor will probably look old enough to reach that season 3 state of "well he does kinda feel a bit young but it's not inappropriate or sth" xD
Katara's actress is the only one that has me worried but hopefully she proves me wrong, I'm also curious about who they'll cast as Toph.
Just wondering, how come you're concerned about her? She has award winning acting. Could it be the martial arts your worried about? I'm at most slightly worried about that, but only slightly because waterbending is based on Tai chi which is something old people do in parks in Asia so it isn't that hard
Thank you for the update! P.S. For anyone confused, I'm pretty sure the actress at 10:22 is Arden Cho, not Yvonne Chapman
Yeah it is Arden, I was really confused when he said Yvonne.
im just hoping they manage to capture that perfect balance between being upbeat and funny and also being very serious and heartbreaking.
Yeah the tone/mood of the show really MAKES it or breaks it😭
Exactly. That tone starts in episode 3 when they find the corpse of Gyatso. Hopefully they can capture that.
That is some pretty wishful thinking dude lmao
I am honestly getting more and more excited to see this. I really hope it turns out to be good and stays true to the original cartoon as much as it can!
i really hope they dont 1:1 copy the original so nobody gets mad about things being different and manage to make it their own project and even improve on the previously lacking story with more time and characters.
well i really like appa and momo, and nobody seems to be talking about them much, hmmmm? i really hope the show at leasts keeps the fun pet sidestories, humor, and sibling rivalry like realtionship they share in the original.
they cleary are changing things up , katara and aang have a 3 yr age gap (13 and 16) so that will be settled and handled differently.
@LIZARD Obviously, it won't be.
@@LightninSharples nobody is talking about them because they're gonna be completely cgi lol. It's not like the actors are gonna be like "yeah it was really fun being on set with Appa the giant flying bison" lmao
I'm glad they're not trying for another movie version, but for a series with the same run-time as the original. (I got that right, didn't I?)
The actors look and sound great for their potential. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this project!
It actually has more run time than the original with 8 1 hour long episodes
Deep down, I don't want a live action version. It's highly likely that it's going to flop, but I also want to see what they bring forth
The thing I'm worried about is Daniel Dae Kim being able to replicate or get close to how well Mark Hamil voice Ozai. He has an unforgettable voice and it fits him and his personality so perfectly. One of my favorite lines by far is when Ozai first speaks to Aang in Into The Inferno "After generations of Fire Lords failed to find you, now the universe delivers you to me as an act of providence." - Ozai
I think it’s less how close he can get to the original, but more so how well he can act the role in general. I agree that he has a lot to live up to, but think about it, an imitation would most likely fall flat because he would be so focused on trying to get it right that the acting wouldn’t be as strong and his character would therefore feel cheap and fake, if anything, I’d prefer him to do his best to bring his own, powerful and intense energy to the role instead of just trying to copy someone else’s, you know?
@@HP-io2qu yeah agreed, especially because cartoons are made to make the character dramatic in everything they do in order to give an effect of emotion when there's a lack of a real human. making the characters seem human while also aligning closely with the animated characters is bound to be difficult, but i would rather have well thought out scene with good acting rather than overacting and cheap imitations that end up looking cringey as a finished product
I'm really excited and optimistic. I expect it to be very different from the source material, but it will be amazing in it's own unique way. If they're positioning it as a competitor to Game of Thrones and giving it that kind of attention and resources, it's gonna be wild.
The witcher.
Death note.
Resident evil
The silence
The clover field paradox....
THE FIRST LIVE ACTION AVATAR.
There is no hope i am not wasting my money of this train wreck period.
But we don't want an avatar series that is "different but amazing in it's own unique way" we want THE Avatar we all loved precisely for what it was.
If Netflix make their own version/interpretation of it then it's no longer ATLA by removing the parts we enjoyed about it.
What's the point in remaking a series if they're gonna remove and change the very same things that made people love the original series in the first place.
I had no idea about this, as a huge avatar fan i’m stoked !!! Thank you for making this video and spreading the greatness that is Avatar that cannot be overstated or overshadowed❤
I would have to say, so far for the live action, the casting DID NOT disappoint and that is what is making me so excited and hopeful this time.
I feel like the casting was done really well but I’m gonna miss the original voices so much
All I can tell is they're going big so they don't go home so honestly hope it won't disappoint fans. I am being a realist. They got the cast right now we'll have to see the storytelling - if it'll catch our attention like the original.
Netflix can really make a change here. It promises a lot after your vid,…the passion, art, detail, sticking to lore, casting….if it brings that same emotion and feeling I am hooked
watching the bad (the last video) with the good (this video) , back to back, really helped reignite the hope in me. that's super rare as it is with anything cinematic and big-cherished-and-loved IP's for me.
but i honestly was cheered up by these videos and the time and energy you put in them , so from one hardest-core ATLA fan to another: thank you yo
As long as the bending looks good and the connection between the main characters feels authentic, I'll be happy
One should not forget about sokka's sense of humor .. and uncle iroh wisdom... things in avatar series i like the most
Amazing coverage. Thank you for this. Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you.
Hi just wanted to say I only watched ATLA for the first time in 2020 (didn’t grow up with cable tv) and it has become my most beloved story of all time. I love you channel so far it almost feels like watching it again for the first time
When i saw the actors i couldn't believe my eyes. Idk anything about them other than the one playing ozai(propably a good thing) but they match so perfectly look-wise. Idk how someone could be closer to aang as that kid.
3:30 Actually originally Atlas fighting choreography was supposed to be fast pace like the legend of korra but the limitations meant they had to make it slower like ancient martial arts.
This is true, they had a much smaller budget for the OG series than Korra did. I'm curious which end of the spectrum this remake will fall on.
Northern Shaolin, Bagua, and Hung Gar aren't slow. Depending on the lineage, Taiji isn't slow either.
@@arbogast4950 Point being they’re slower than tlok
Pretty low bar for the "perfect TV show ever".
But that's to be expected from American iron curtain thinking. Of course Full Metal Alchemist doesn't count, becuase lol, asians have to be that good to only compete in the anniemay category, while Avatar hops and skips past the queue into the top spot.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 Are you ok?
I’m excited! They have a cast of a lot of actors I really like! I’m staying positive while being aware the live action interpretations can be bad. This allows me not to be a downer before it’s even out while also not setting my expectations too high so that it won’t disappoint me too much if it does end badly.
Omg I was literally screaming at each new piece of information you're giving in this! I rewatch avatar & Korra every single year, of course I am a HUGE fan and cannot be more excited for this new show!!!!! Thank you sososo much for this channel!
This did give me more hope. I'm actually excited to see this. I just hope it's done well. If this flops, even if it's not related to Paramount's Avatar Studios, the entire world of avatar will go into hibernation once again. It's also incredible that both Avatar's disappeared for a decade, and both showed back up within the same year. Sucks for both of them, but they both can be incredible. I truly hope Netflix does this show justice. I've been rocky and pessimistic but I just don't want to be let down again. If Netflix can do justice to Avatar, not only would it catapult Avatar into being a full world just like GoT and Harry Potter like the actor for Kyoshi said, it'll take Netflix back out of the negative viewpoint the public has as well. This project has so much riding on it and the effects of good or bad will be felt for many years after this. This officially gave me hope. Please don't let us down, Netflix
I agree entirely, but my biggest concern is them changing the relationship dynamic of Aang and Katara when there love story development was such a huge part of the storyline
Honestly, with those flashback played from 0:00 to 1:29, it gave me goosebumps. I watched the full show hundred of times already, I can't still get over with it. So excited for the live action adaptation.
I’m glad they’re taking their time making this show. I can’t wait for the final product.
I think the casting is done very well! I can see all actors play their role and think they've got the 'good vibe' to bring this series to the next level. Very excited and glad to see i'm not the only one! ❤️ Great work on the video!
I believe all we really need for a good live action adaptation is creators that don't hate the source material and that for some reason is so hard to come by. With all the changes most of them do, it is usually more like they are trying to tell a unique story and just using the name to gain viewership for a story they know wouldn't work otherwise. It is also a must that nobody in the production team should ever talk bad about fans that have consers, otherwise it will make people go into it already hating it.
And it seems like everyone is determined to set the live action right
Thank you for making this. I’m so hyped now.
The original series will always be iconic and i don't want the live action to be worse or even better than the original. I want it to simply be a celebration of the series.
Which is why I’m upset the original creators left because of the creative differences. Like what did Netflix change to make the leave the project entirely. Quote: “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.”
@@foreverloving5565 that does make me a bit scared but who knows what happened between them while brainstorming.
The more these videos get released, the more my confidence in this live action adaptation increases. I have no problem with the cast at all. And omg, the kid playing Aang, pretty well cast there🙌🏼. So psyched for this
they really casted the real life avatar characters and thought we wouldn't notice
It's always astonishing to me that so many shows and animations, even movies, are considered for children despite it being actually super mature. Like genocides, war, death, love, battles, rivalries, friendships forged in and around conflicts. Like damn more like ages 8-infinity.
Sometimes I think everything only needs a starting age number no "ending" age. I'll be 80 and will still love so many "kids" shows. No way any shows involving genocide is "kids" only. I dare say it's a good way to teach kids about this kind of stuff in such a fun way.
80 year old that loves Avatar!! Just goes to show how awesome ATLA is!!
I feel like they're actually making it with dedication and to satisfy a large fanbase. Im not really a fan of Avatar since I haven't touched that series **yet** but from how people talk about it or at least mention it, it already sounds like a masterpiece. Finally a live adaptation that's made with dedicated people who are dedicated to a series, and not using a certain series to target a specific audience to watch because the entire thing is just a cashgrab.
Update us when u watch the original show
no its good to hear from the outside looking in, but watch the show john clocks ticking
I've actually been pretty excited, but I also won't be surprised if it's bad. Seeing as they seem to have a pretty large budget, I think they're taking it seriously and the actors being fans of ATLA gives me hope
Well, my expectations were six feet underground. You’ve brought them to the surface. I really hope it turns out well, I want to see a good live action so bad.
Also cause if it’s terrible the fans will destroy them
The intro music in this video is my favorite from that series
ngl you've got me super stoked!
I'm so excited for this to come out. Being native especially i'm really excited for more accurate representation of characters based on native tribes
Honestly , this gives me major Rings of Power vibes so i have very little hope
That being said , Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Mr Kim) as Uncle Iroh is such a great cast , definetly on point
Daniel Dae Kim as Ozai doesnt convince me just yet , he is great but i dont know if he can be a terrifying villain of that size , Hiroshi Sato was more of a tragic villain , maybe we will get to see more of a charismatic Ozai , more on the side of ceasar , hitler or genghis khan maybe
Dallas Liu is another great cast , he definetly can handle the physical part, but the emotional part given his short acting experience could be a problem , will be weird seeing him with the "bald pony tail" haircut tho
Definetly great cast all around , but no matter how good the acting or production , nothing can save a shit scrip
Great video! I didn't even know a live action was coming out, but I really enjoyed Avatar: The Last Airbender, when I watched it with my daughter.
I'm now REALLY looking forward to it. :D
Haven’t been excited for a piece of media in a long time, this video gives me hope. Thank you.
I said this story a lot of times, but avatar, legend of korra (and dc as well) inspired me to became a writer. Every time when i watch last airbender or korra or great dc film i want to create new story immediately, i want to meet Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko to just hug them and say thank you for your work, and for creating a dream in my head to inspire people with great stories to write, and continue the legacy of great stories
Dont get me all hyped up man... now i have to fear getting disappointed
Thank you for this🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Ig it just worries me what Mike and Bryan said when they dropped the project, like if the original creators think that this adaptation isn’t sticking to the true essence of Avatar then idk but oh well, i’m excited to see how it goes
You have revived my hope for this show. I was very concerned when I heard that the creators of the original Avatar series left this production due to creative differences, but from what you said, Netflix is going all in with this. I hope it is as good as they promised.
I'm really excited for this show I get it that we're all paranoid because of the movie that shall not be named but once I saw the cast I became less worried and the changes they've made so far haven't bothered me they're minor all I gotta say is they better not screw up Azula cause she's a great complex villain
All I've got to say is they better not screw up Toph.
@@sarahcatlove3646 yeah her too oh look they released the trailer! That's what itll sound like whenever they do have a trailer (waves hand in front of face) lol
There is no Avatar movie in ba sing se
I’m excited now thanks for the vid. I like the cast, I like the work they’re putting into it. I’m HOPING they stick to what was made originally
One of the best live action adaptations of a manga/anime is the Chinese version of Hikaru no Go (棋魂). They somehow managed to catch that vibe of an anime, without making it feel forced. Recommended watching!
I have extreamly low expectations for this series. Very rarley does animation transition into live action and it works.
Seriously?? Give it a chance bro
Bruh why so negative
keeping expectation low is the trick that i will like this show regardless. hehe
I don’t blame you, but I hope you’ll give it a chance without bias
I don't why people saying you are negative the only live adaptation from like anime was Alita, and people don't even know that was an Anime
I think it would exceed expectations, I still have hope on that. and I think the best way to go into it for us (as long time fans of atla) is going completely blind, to avoid what happened with korra, we should not compare and focus on things like "is this version of the story good? unique? does it feel special?" and things like that, we're never gonna get an adaptation as wonderful as atla, but we can get good things if we don't expect for said adaptations to be as great as the original. personally I would be happy by only seeing they made it with care, love and hard work, its very notable when someone puts their all in their craft. and if we really get that I may even cry and fall in love with the avatar universe all over again.
anyway I'll wait patiently and why not, rewatch atla for the thousand time again while we're at it hehe ~
I'm pretty excited about this! I hope release isn't too far off!
I gasped when I saw who they picked for Firelord Ozai, I can just see how he'll make the character so good.
ahh --you didn't mention that the Kiyoshi Warriors use Aikido!
i'm very excited about this show as i'm sure we all are. thank you for keeping us updated.
I love avatar and I’m so excited for the show to release! Thanks for that video as well (:
it's funny looking at Sokka's actor as he reminds me of the art of the Sokka on the Ember Island Players poster
I’m very exciting!! Sounds like the acting and production is going to be great.
Hopefully the writing and dialog are on point- that seems to be the big if in a lot of these new shows.
I’m really excited to see it and I have since it was first announced! I know many are weirdly gatekeepy about it, but if it ends up flopping then who cares, doesn’t change the original. But even if just moderately entertaining, it’s more content and for that I’m excited!
My expectations are litteraly on the floor with this, I'll probably be shocked if it's even just decent but I think it definitely could be great
I'm just so excited for thissss T^T
Hey @10:20 I think you meant Arden Cho not Yvonne Chapman. Arden was the one speaking at that panel & she's playing that bounty hunter from season 1 🕺
i wonder if zuko's actor will be teaching aang's actor staff spinning
Because Netflix is making it, my expectations are low
Omg I’m worried but excited at the same time
Great video man!!! I'm looking forward to this live action series and I hope they keep it dark yet with a lot of feelings and jokes from sokka but most importantly don't do what the first avatar the last air bender movie which had Fire Nation only using fire that available near them it should be pulled from within!!!
Kinda ironic how James Cameron's Avatar and this avatar are once again being released around the same time.
The main thing holding me back from being excited for this show was the fact that the original creators stepped back because they didn't like the direction it was going in.
But those same creators are also responsible for completely butchering the entire lore and story of the original show by retconing how the avatar works in Korra, so you know, it's probably for the best
Damn you’re probably right about that. Def gives me a new perspective. I was also not a fan the way Korra ended up going
Aren’t they not present in making Korra?
@@niansxsa no they were present, however elizabet ehazs and her husband weren't that's why legend of korra doesn't give off the same vibe as avatar tla
I’m so excited for this!!!
You actually did give me hope!
I have some hope for it, i hope saka keeps his humor this time, the casting seems on point and the details we do get look promising, ill keep some hope for it and if netflix messes this up im gunna have to watch shows exclusively from youtube
The guy casted for Ozai is gonna do really good at that role
I seen someone do a video a while ago and said that Toph earth bending is based on a rare southern mantis style or something like that
I cant wait for uncle Iroh to sing the leaves from the vine.
I almost come to tears thinking about Aang and the Lion turtle in, not only live action, but good live action
I really hope it turns out good, so far the casting and other things look pretty good!! I would love it to be great orf course (and get renewed). Having the possibilities of introducing Toph with an actual actor that's blind would be great representation as well
Lmao an actual blind person playing Tough ? Are you crazy? That's a large liability, plus its acting!! The whole point of it is playing someone youre not, lets have cancer people play cancer patients, paraplegic play paraplegic, people in wheelchair playing people in wheelchair lol see how stupid that sounds? Why even put these people in a box like that? The whole point is to excel, become better, do other things, become the character. You have a character that is blind and later in the story they are able to see by a miracle or whatever, what then? Cant actually put a blind person through that.
@@kathycookie15 *Toph, not tough :) /nbr
@@kathycookie15 i feel like you have never met a Blind person before and it shows.
that would be great but I still have my concerns. Like every other show we will know as soon as it comes out.
DUDE TH E CASTING IS SO ON POINT ITS QUITE SCARY WHYS IT SO ACCURATE- legit all of the actors look like the characters in avatar its insane especially iroh
Great video except for the mixup between Arden and Yvonne (I see that you've renamed that section of the video by now, but I was still confused when you said she was Yvonne when Arden's username was clearly on screen)
Thank you, my brother! The hype for the new Avatar show *needs* to be resurrected! I do hope they get started on filming season 2 before releasing season 1; they've gotta make use of that youth. Although, I suppose Harry Potter proved that actors can pretend to be teenagers well into their 20s lol
I hope this goes OK. There's a reason that animated movies/tv shows rarely translate well to live action.
I will never understand the want for this.
Money. Producers want to make more money and reach more people
@@TheSquirrelbeast Objectively, money is the big factor. But there are even some fans who want this, which is the thing I won't understand. Animation is great on its own. Why the want for live action?
@@katie5998 true. I don't get it either.
Alot of people wont watch "cartoons" that can be benefited by what I consider to be a great piece of writing, the animation itself isn't what I ever hear being praised even tho it is solid, and it is to my taste, the original isn't in the visually astonishing category compared to a lot of animation or some live action out there, when I watched the show as a kid I always used my imagination to visualize their great concepts, I always felt like the show deserved more. Screw it, something is better then nothing we still have the original if it all goes south
@@adamtuckertattoo Eh, I agree with some parts of the original not being visually astonishing (given the budget, and the fact it's old) but I would still say some parts are some massive reaches for animation. Recently re-watched it and especially the action scenes hold up.
At the end of the day, I still think there are some achievements that animation can reach that live-action cannot. I hope this goes well. I've been watching AOT since 2006, when I was 6, so there's a lot of love there on my part and I don't want to see it ruined in any capacity (like it already was).
looking forward to it
I am soooo excited for this. I just pray so much that they do right by the show but by the looks of it because they've done their research and everything like that I think that they are going to do amazing and I just am anticipating it, it can't come soon enough ❤️
Wow, not me crying lmao 😭 Maybe now I can forget the other live action!
I hope we all can 😂
You very much did change my mind. The first movie's budget was $150mil, and it turned out to be a big flop but that's because the studio didn't care about it and clearly weren't true fans of the original series. A small concern would be the fact that Rings of Power's budget was $60mil per episode, $500mil for the entire season, and that turned into a big flop as well as backlash from the fans because they disgraced the original, even with the directors, writers, etc, being fans of the original lore. I knew how qualified the casting is based on your previous videos presenting their physical talents, but you showed their abilities much more on this video, not to mention comparing the martial art techniques parallel to the show and actual martial art masters. One of the biggest, most cringe flaws about the original movie was the choreography and obvious lack of experience from the cast in basic gymnastics, bending was not an extension of their body at all. Just from that one clip of Sokka's actor as well, he very much gives "Sokka" vibes.
I'm excited to see this version of Avatar. The fact that the original creators left because of "creative differences" scares me a bit because they might screw up the vision of what Avatar is truly supposed to be, but then there's some very good fanmade adaptations like Genji. The 2020 delay also must've been a blessing in disguise; they had 3 more years to refine the story. There's no doubt that the graphics are going to be insane, but I think they're actually putting more of the money into proper casting, writing, and directing now rather than mainly graphics!
Plot twist M. Night Shyamalan is being signed on again mid way through production
We are waiting for it
