Avatar: The Last Airbender is getting a brand new live action adaptation on Netflix! This is the single greatest bit of news for Avatar fans! Or is it the worst? Frankly, it’s hard to determine at this point until we know more about the new series. Fans are pretty nervous about it because the last adaptation, The Last Airbender was one of the worst movie adaptations ever made. While it is PAINFUL for fans to think about today, it does have its uses. Netflix, you can learn so much from this film as it teaches you literally everything not to do for your series!

This film failed on so many levels that we could likely do an entire semester on just the casting fails alone. This film utterly botched a series that handed them incredible worldbuilding, a terrific story, one of the best redemption arcs of all time and some of the greatest action sequences ever animated. It took this fun-loving fantasy series and turned it into a drab, colorless, passionless mess that literally has no defenders. The entire Avatar fanbase and the critics of the world both agree that this was one of the worst adaptations ever put to the big screen. The film would be hated for its terrible portrayal of Uncle Iroh alone even if it got everything else right! So yeah, do better Netflix!

So let’s jump straight to it and start your adaptation lessons Netflix, as we cover everything you should learn from The Last Airbender’s many many failures.
