Netflix’s AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER: Book I – WATER Review: A Decent Adaptation With A Fair Ebb And Flow
This review was previously published for supporters at Buy Me A Coffee on March 12. I didn’t have much access to Nickelodeon in 2005. It’s a circumstance that certainly made getting on the Avatar: The Last Airbender hype train all the more challenging at the time, although I had other matters of interest in film I was tending to on a blog I started with similar inspirations echoed on this one. Alas, it’s 2024 and little did I know that as someone centrally known to cover this genre amid the near two-decade-long fame of the show, at least one good way to get chewed out by your friends is to not have seen it, and admitting it publicly. Oof. Thus, at the behest of a few of my mutuals in light of the recent live-action exploits from showrunner Albert Kim for Netflix, I did my homework. For this, I can […]

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Official Trailer Reveals The Next Evolution Of The Remade Series Classic
February is going to be a gamechanger for a lot of fans of ethnically diverse shows and films, specifically on Netflix. The streamer’s adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender has proven to be much more dynamic and authentic under the stewardship of creator Albert Kim, in succession from the show’s heyday as an iconic Nickelodeon property. And that’s just based on some of the promotional footage and images that have rolled out in the last few months for the show. Granted, of course there are some who are less keen with a preference to more adherent wuxia content, which is cool. Avatar: The Last Airbender has a strong fanbase and I think the show is on track to only add to its posterity. Netflix has done itself justice with the successes of Matt Owens and Steven Maeda’s treatment of One Piece and director Sho Tsukikawa’s explosive take on Yu Yu […]

New AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Film Toplines Avatar Studios Slate From Original Series Creators For Nickelodeon
Perhaps the jury is still out on what will become of Netflix’s earlier plans for an Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series that’s been brewing for the last few years. Of course it also remains to be seen how well it will do even without the input of the original creators themselves, series’ original creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, following their departure from the series last year due to creative differences. In any case, the franchise itself hasn’t lost its touch as the inaugural Nickelodeon animated series still generates fan fervor from its current run on Netflix, as does its spin-off, The Legend Of Korra. For this, the franchise continues to self-nourish with just the kind of potential that DiMartino and Konietzko are utilizing as of this week, jointly launching Avatar Studios as its co-chief creative officers under Nickelodeon, with plans to produce an animated theatrical film this […]
