In March, history was made when Avatar: The Last Airbender was adapted into a live-action reboot that was considered passable by fans. When a former live action version was so bad that it turned fans off the franchise altogether, we were worried about Netflix’s eight-episode attempt. There’s something so magical and innocent about Nickelodeon’s original Avatar: The Last Airbender and even its sequel, The Legend of Korra.
While Netflix’s version is still enjoyable, it doesn’t hold the same joy and wonder as the original series.
