00:00 Welcome to MovieGasm.com where I'm gonna be bringing you the latest in upcoming movie

00:03 news and theories.

00:04 And today we're gonna be talking about Netflix's live-action adaptation for Avatar The Last

00:08 Airbender.

00:26 Now let's get into a little bit of a synopsis and history for those who do not know Avatar

00:29 The Last Airbender.

00:30 Avatar The Last Airbender originally aired from 2005 to 2008 and is set in a war-torn

00:36 world where certain people can bend one of the four classic elements, water, earth, fire,

00:41 and air.

00:42 The Avatar, the living last airbender named Aang, is the bridge between the mortal and

00:47 the spirit worlds, and is the only one capable of bending all four elements.

00:51 With his companions Katara and Sokka, Aang sets out to master the elements and bring

00:55 peace to the world and being pursued by the exiled Fire Nation crown prince Zuko.

01:00 After the series, we even got a really well-loved spin-off called The Legend of Korra.

01:04 Avatar The Last Airbender became a classic and had a significant impact on how networks

01:08 viewed animated programs in the 2010s.

01:10 It blurred the line between youth and adult programming, featuring some more adult and

01:14 darker themes.

01:15 It is an absolute masterclass in animation, character development, and complex storytelling

01:19 that still resonates with audiences today.

01:21 Now before we delve into Netflix's upcoming live-action reboot, it is worth noting that

01:25 this isn't the first attempt at a live-action adaptation for Avatar.

01:29 In 2010, M. Night Shyamalan directed a live-action adaptation that was met with significant

01:34 criticism.

01:35 The film was mainly criticized for its casting decisions, with many fans and critics accusing

01:39 it of "whitewashing."

01:40 Additionally, many felt that it failed to capture the spirit of the original series,

01:44 and as of right now, the film currently holds a 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and any plans

01:48 for sequels are scrapped due to its poor reception.

01:51 There was some mixed reviews on the fighting sequences, as many found them to be quite

01:54 entertaining.

01:55 I myself, when I was younger, also found some of these fight scenes to be pretty entertaining

01:58 as well.

01:59 But as mentioned before, the movie lacked the heart and feeling that made Avatar The

02:03 Last Airbender super important.

02:05 Now let's talk about the cast for a little bit here.

02:07 For the live-action reboot, the series is directed by Albert Kim, and the cast includes

02:10 Gordon Cormier as Avatar Aang, Dallas Liu as Pazuko, Kaiwentio as Katara, Ian Owsley

02:16 as Sokka, Paul Soon-Hung Lee as General Iroh, and Daniel Dae Kim as the Fire Lord Ozai.

02:22 The casting process was meticulous to ensure that each actor could bring their character

02:26 to life, while also honoring the original animated series.

02:29 Now if you've made it this far into the video, please consider subscribing to MovieGasm.com

02:32 for more videos like this, as well as upcoming trailers and features.

02:49 Fans have been eagerly awaiting any news concerning the series, and earlier this year fans were

02:53 treated to a first look at the live-action Avatar.

02:56 The official photo revealed Gordon Cormier as Aang in character and in costume.

03:00 We can also see in the backdrop of the picture a snowy mountain under a clear blue sky, which

03:05 could represent the southern air temple where Aang was raised.

03:08 We also got some additional looks at some of the other cast members in their costumes

03:11 as well.

03:12 Some red carpet pictures as well as an official logo reveal.

03:15 From a presentation in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the series is currently slated for February

03:19 2024, and these first pictures look really promising.

03:23 This is already a major improvement compared to the M. Night Shyamalan version.

03:27 Just even looking at this pose, I cannot wait to see what they do with this, even their

03:31 action sequences I'm anticipating to be super amazing.

03:33 And growing up watching Avatar, as a fan, I'm personally excited for this, and for

03:37 his performance as Aang.

03:38 Now as for possible theories on what we can expect, we're obviously expecting to see

03:42 the main core story be adapted in some type of way, but there's also some theories suggesting

03:46 that it will show both sides of bending that weren't fully explored in the original series,

03:51 especially some major consequences.

03:52 And despite the controversy surrounding this show, because there's a couple of things

03:55 out there, there's various reasons why Netflix's live action adaptation could actually be pretty

03:59 good.

04:00 Especially with the success of the live action One Piece adaptation, if Netflix plays their

04:03 cards right, we could be witnessing an amazing future for animation live action adaptations.

04:08 I really hope that they adapt the storylines well and stick to the core nature of what

04:12 makes Avatar amazing, but I'm personally open for some changes, especially if it adds

04:16 onto the lore and can expand the series somewhat.

04:19 As of right now we're slated for 8 episodes, so I'm hoping with a really good budget

04:23 and really good storytelling and writing, we can get an amazing version of what fans

04:25 wanted back in 2010.

04:26 Now that's it for this video, I hope you enjoyed it.
