As a seasoned movie critic who has seen the rise and fall of countless adaptations, I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when I heard about Netflix’s live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender“. Having grown up with the original animated series, I hold it close to my heart, much like Aang holds the four elements.
Netflix has unveiled fresh insights into their ongoing live-action version of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” during Netflix Geeked Week. This live-action series is inspired by the original animated series and is set in a world divided into four nations – water, air, earth, and fire. The story revolves around a young boy, known as the Avatar, who must learn to control the four elemental powers to prevent war and combat an adversary determined to thwart him. They recently announced that production for Season 2 has officially commenced, as evidenced by a new video release.
In the creation of Albert Kim, the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender features Gordon Cormier from The Stand as Aang, Kiawentiio, known for Rutherford Falls, as Katara, Ian Ousley from Physical as Sokka, Dallas Liu recognized for his work in Tekken as Prince Zuko, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee famous for Kim’s Convenience as General Iroh. The rest of the talented ensemble includes Daniel Dae Kim, known for Lost and Hellboy, Ken Leung from Old and Lost, Maria Zhang from WorkInProgress: A Comedy Web-Series, Elizabeth Yu from Somewhere in Queens, and Amber Midthunder, star of Prey. For a more comprehensive understanding of the series, you can read the detailed official synopsis provided below:
In ancient times, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air were the four peaceful nations, maintained in balance by the all-powerful Avatar who commanded each element. However, this tranquility was shattered when the Fire Nation launched an assault, annihilating the Air Nomads, a stepping stone towards their global conquest. With no new Avatar in sight, despair swept across the world. But from the shadows of darkness, a glimmer of hope arises as Aang (Cormier), the last surviving Airbender, awakens to assume his destined role as the next Avatar.
Accompanied by his newly-acquired friends Ousley (Sokka) and Kiawentiio (Katara), who are siblings belonging to the Southern Water Tribe, Aang sets off on an exciting, adventure-filled journey aimed at rescuing the world and countering the terrifying assault of Fire Lord Ozai (Kim). However, they face a relentless Crown Prince Zuko (Liu) who is eager to apprehend them, making their task anything but simple. They’ll undoubtedly require the assistance of the numerous helpful allies and vibrant personalities they encounter during their journey.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Was Met With a Mixed Response From Critics
The reception to Netflix’s adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender was moderately average, with a rating of 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. According to the Critics Consensus, while the live-action series offers a decent introduction to the cherished franchise, it intermittently fails to rekindle the enchantment found in its original form.
After the debut of Season 1, Netflix decided to keep the show going instead of abruptly cancelling it, a move they are known for. Even more excitingly, the streaming service plans to wrap up the story by renewing Avatar: The Last Airbender for two additional seasons, with Season 3 serving as the final chapter.
The first season of
Avatar: The Last Airbender
is now available to stream on Netflix.
