The costumes in the stills alone are better than anything in that.

I got feeling this is yet another recipe for disaster.

Only thing that worries me is netflix and live film adaptation. They arent good combo.

Loved the last air bender show, people will respond well to this.

I hope the people who love the original enjoy this. I checked out the original a while back after hearing all this hype about it and it seemed like a well-made kids cartoon but I don't get people talking about it being one of the greatest shows ever.

They made the characters cartoon accurate. Since the entire world is based on East Asian and Native culture... Not white and Indian.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks accurate! They didn't try to interpret anything, the costumes are pulled straight from the cartoon! I just hope the action scenes are good.

Im probably going to be in the minority here but while the movie is shit I actually like the cosumes in it better.

They actually look like something someone might wear instead of...well... a costume.

Did you watch the whole show?
S1 is fun but IMO it isn't until season 2 that it gets really good.

Either way it might be one of the best kids shows but lol yeah it's not one of greatest shows ever.
With that said though, it did the whole diversity thing way before it became a trend and it did better than virtually any modern show.

I watched the first season and then some of the second before I dropped away from it because it just wasn't clicking for me like it seems to for others. Maybe going back to it with lowered expectations would help because I'd seen people talk about it like it's on the level of The Wire and The Sopranos and I just don't get that.

 

[LordCBH]

This is gonna be shit.

 

[DrFigs]

it looks fucking terrible

Yeah maybe go back to it some day with lowered expectations.
I guess it's like the Sopranos of kids shows (in that it's higher quality than most other similar stuff)....but it's still an animated kids show

 

[Elysion]

The costumes look like cosplay, which is always the case with anime/cartoon adaptations that are trying to be super accurate. It’s the same with the One Piece show, it just looks ridiculous in live action.

It gets much better, especially towards the end. But it is a children's show.

lmao

 

[FullMetalx117]

These types of shows just don’t look good live action in the same vain as Death note, Attack On Titan, etc.

 

[Toons]

The cast already looks 10 billion times better than the last time

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is going to make an excellent Iroh.

If anyone's going to have a stab at making something worse than what M. Might Shamalamadindong shat out, it would be Netflix.

With the budget they're throwing at it, I doubt it'll be as bad as Shamaylan. From the looks of it, the people making this new show actually LOVE the original toon.

Shamalan didn't... He just thought his kids would like it. He had no respect for the toon.

 

[Represent.]

This is going to be good. Netflix is fucking killing it.
