Netflix and Bryke have announced that an ATLA live action is in the works, slated for a 2019 production schedule! It's been ten years since the ATLA series finale, eight years since the almost universally panned The Last Airbender by M. Night Shyamalan, and four years since the Korra series finale, so fans everywhere are looking forward — though some with trepidation — at the latest (re)installment in the Avatar universe.
For me, it's a bit 50/50. On the one hand, MORE ATLA! THE GAANG IS BACK! HOORAY! And yet on the other hand, I'm feeling really disappointed that they opted to retell Aang's story in a new format instead of telling a story we don't know — like Avatar Kyoshi, or Avatar Yangchen. Bryke say that the new format will give them a chance to delve into more details they couldn't fit into the animated series, but I don't know if that is enough to balance out my trepidation of a retelling.
Either way, I am looking forward to it, even if the feelings are a little mixed.
What about you?
