Reploid Productions wrote:I figure I am extremely cautiously optimistic about the live action series. As noted previously, the movie's main issue was M. Night Shayamalan. Avatar is something that could work quite well in a live-action format, especially given the level of effort that went into the original's action choreography; much of the action from the cartoon could work quite well as basically live-action martial arts supplemented with CGI for the bending effects. I think a really big indicator of whether or not it has a chance will be once we get some casting information. The Avatar world is very visibly diverse in ethnicity, and if the live action show's cast is appropriately diverse, I think that will be a positive sign.
But yeeeah. Once burned, twice shy. I'm willing to give it a try, but I am not particularly getting my hopes up.
After the giant casting backlash the movie got, I think they'll get it right.
