After the success of the live-action series One Piece, fans were very excited when Avatar: The Last Airbender was also adapted by Netflix.
The original anime series was released in 2005, marking nearly 20 years since Aang, Appa and friends were introduced on screen. And now the live-action film adaptation Avatar: The Last Airbender will be shown in its entirety on Netflix on February 22.

Fans were also “moved” by the newly released preview trailer of the movie. Many people took to social media to express their excitement for the upcoming series.
Clearly, Netflix’s $15 million budget for Avatar: The Last Airbender was not wasted, with the trailer filled with eye-popping images and action scenes. Fans are introduced to many new territories that they will see throughout the series. From icy peaks to intricate villages hidden deep in the mountains.
However, there are still some fans who have commented on whether Netflix’s live-action film can compare to the original anime series.
The setting of Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world where humans can control one of four elements: Water, earth, air and fire. Accordingly, humanity is also divided into four main countries: Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Air Tribe and Fire Nation. The Avatar was the only person who could control all four elements, but he disappeared for a hundred years.
Although Netflix’s version of Avatar: The Last Airbender looks dark and extremely dramatic, it is still mixed with light humor. This mainly comes from Aang’s newfound friends, Sokka and Katara – they’re not afraid to humiliate Aang when things don’t quite go as planned, keeping the humor of the original anime intact.
Some fan comments about the Avatar: The Last Airbender trailer:
– This gentle intro gagged me.
– This trailer really touched me. I’m ready to watch the movie.
– I could be wrong, but the Avatar: The Last Airbender I saw was 1,000 times more interesting, fun, and sillier than this serious trailer makes it out to be.
– This version looks better than I expected and I like that they paid attention to the colors and clarity of the image. What worries me is the adaptation of the cartoon into a live-action film. There will be many difficulties and mistakes.
– I was very excited after watching the trailer. The series seems to have good potential and I’m very excited.
