Avatar: The Last Airbender

Audio player loading… Avatar is having a moment – and no, we’re not talking about James Cameron’s Avatar franchise, with its countless sequels stuck in development. We’re talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender, the acclaimed Nickelodeon cartoon series that has inspired the children’s network to create a whole production studio for Avatar content – including both TV shows and films. Avatar is a beloved cartoon franchise, following the adventures of the eponymous ‘Avatar’: a being able to master all four of the elements (fire, water, wind, earth) in a world where most are able to manipulate one, or none at all.

The announcement came in February 2021, a good seven years after the end of The Legend of Korra, long enough that many fans had given up hope of the franchise continuing. But even after all that time, there are still many stories and time periods in Aang’s world that we are eager to bring to life. We are fortunate to have an ever-growing community of passionate fans that enjoy exploring the Avatarverse as much as we do.

New Avatar movie: what we know We really don’t know very much about the animated film already in the works at Avatar Studios. We could also see the film act as a bridge between The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, or indeed a ‘what happened next’ feature following from the latter series. New Avatar series: what to expect Avatar: The Last Airbender (Image credit: Paramount Plus) A new Avatar TV series would be exciting to many, being set in the same world as the original Avatar television show (which ran for three seasons) and its sequel, The Legend of Korra (four seasons).

The Legend of Korra (Image credit: Paramount Plus) We know that the co-creators of The Last Airbender, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, will be heading up the studio. That sounds great for continuity, though we’re hoping the creative team for any future projects includes more diversity – especially East Asian writers – compared to previous seasons of the show. It’s likely that any Avatar content will end up on Paramount Plus, given Nickelodeon is a subsidiary of Paramount – and that means anyone hoping to watch the new Avatar series on Netflix may be disappointed.

Avatar on Netflix: the new live-action series (Image credit: Paramount Plus) Complicating things further is that Netflix is already making a live-action TV series based on The Last Airbender. Back in 2018, though, Netflix announced its own plans to turn The Last Airbender into a live-action TV series. The current status of the Netflix series is unclear, but it does still seem to be going ahead, even if there’s no slated release date as of yet.

What Is The Most Obvious Story To Adapt?

All we know for sure is that a movie will be going into production but we don’t know what it’ll be about, nor do we know what any of these other possible series could cover. Any of these stories would make fine films or miniseries, but the most obvious one to adapt would be the arc about Zuko’s mom. Many new viewers of the series aren’t aware of the comic and it would be a great chance to tell such a critical part of ATLA’s story on screen.

Aang memorably faced him down and barely escaped with his face, and he’s been mentioned in various other ATLA stories since then. Still, this creature is largely a mystery and a film delving more into him would provide an excellent big screen villain. After all, he did tell Aang they’d meet again.

Aang doesn’t even have to be the one who faces him! Koh’s line of “we’ll meet again” could apply to any Avatar. Korra could encounter him or even a future Avatar!

We’ve gotten a chance to see some of this in the Korra comics (which if adapted would make great movies or miniseries’) but getting a full series that lets Korra and Asam explore the Avatar world and take on new challenges? That would not only just be a great show on its own (especially after those last two INCREDIBLE seasons we got on TV) but it’d be a chance to let Korra and Asami’s queerness be seen on screen.

Who Was The Co-Creator Of Avatar: The Last Airbender?

Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko also weighed in on The Great Divide episode and provided a few updates on Avatar Studios. Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creator says ‘there’s so much I would fix’ about the series Avatar: The Last Airbender Close this dialog window Streaming Options Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed TV series out there, especially in animation — but its creators can still find a few things to nitpick. In Tuesday’s episode of the Avatar recap podcast Braving the Elements, co-host Dante Basco (who voiced Zuko on ATLA) talked to the show’s creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, about the belief many fans have that they created the perfect show.

There’s a bunch of stuff that I just think, ‘Ugh, I wish that scene was animated better; I don’t like the way this character’s looking in this episode,’ he added, before conceding that you can only fix so much.

The duo also gave their honest thoughts on episodes some fans were unhappy with and viewed as filler.

However, they’re with viewers about another controversial episode, The Great Divide, which featured Aang and his friends trying to usher two feuding clans safely across a treacherous canyon. That’s terrible, Konietzko also said. You’ve got this big gap; it’s a big empty hole, yet it is filler, Konietzko quipped, adding, Yeah, I was not happy with it.

While they didn’t reveal any huge updates, DiMartino did promise they were working hard to create the franchise, noting that it’s going to take a while before new stuff starts percolating out there. Mike and I have mapped out a very ambitious, multi-tiered plan to explore this big, rich, largely untapped history and future in the Avatar world, Konietzko explained. Each of these projects [has] its own feeling, its own tone and look, so it will all feel true to the Avatar world, but they will all be very different expressions of it so it will really deepen it and expand it, he added later in the podcast.

We have all the ideas and ideally we’re going to get to, over the years, explore all of them and get to make them, but it’ll take some time. If we make all this stuff, you guys will just be podcasting for about the next 20 years or so, DiMartino teased. To that, we say: Flamey-O!
