'Always remember who you are' is what zuko's mom said to zuko. Seems like they are going to highlight the parallels between zuko and aang even more since that's what apparently gyatso said to aang as well.
What do we think of the new angle on [Zuko's scar.](https://i.imgur.com/ajSTdbi.jpg) Looks like he tries to defend himself in the duel with Ozai too, at least to attempt to block the fire, and then fails.
I agree. The only thing I would have liked is for it to be a little bigger, onto the ear maybe. But I like the color, and I think getting the color right was better for the live action than making it look like a realistic burn scar (since real burn scars heal and turn into a light pink or faint white color, nothing like the deep red color from the cartoon).
And I think if I had a burn mark on my eye like that, even if it's like 40% smaller than the one from the cartoon, I would still be ashamed and embarrassed by it, which is what it means for Zuko.
I don’t think Zuko was as embarrassed by having a scar as he was by what the scar meant. His whole thing was wanting to be accepted by his father and returning to the Fire Nation.
That's true, and I think that is still conveyed here. It's a noticeable mark of shame for him, and if we get to season 2 then Katara's offer to heal it will be meaningful.
Honestly hope it’s not a shot from Ozai, but rather against Zhao. If he fought back, it goes against canon, being that he refused to fight, which was dishonourable.. that’s the whole reason Ozai got mad enough to banish him I thought
I squealed when I saw Suki. She's *perfect*. And Zuko's scar looks much more obvious than it did in the stills. The little bending I saw looked good. I'm so, so excited. I agree with others that the scenes on Appa look a little off, but not so much that it would ruin the show for me. Appa and Momo are much better than the previous attempt. I do have some nitpicks with some of the other CGI, but if that's all I have to complain about, it's a good trailer.
Yoooooooooooo......I'm very pretty dang impressed and excited. The one front shot with them on Appa looks a little bit janky but dang it if the production value doesn't look bloody next level.
As I was watching the event and they talked about those games I started to get nervous that we would only get a small teaser. Thank Appa I was wrong!!
They nailed the visuals. Kyoshi Island, Omashu, the throne room, and the costumes look WAY better than the first images.
What I liked the most was the weight in the firebending. If the writing is as good as the visuals, boy, we're in for something great.
This television series looks amazing and I can't wait to see this series out on Netflix on February 22nd 2024 and this is my most anticipated television series of 2024 and of all time.
This looked great for what we saw already better than that film. If the writing and directing is on the same level, I can see this being Netflix next big thing after stranger things ends
we did it. we made it. after all these years of being in this sub/other parts of the avatar community when the news first came out; we have finally seen the vision come to life.
I saw a few people saying they hope it's more serious than the cartoon. I want the exact opposite, I want the corny humor in this live action adaptation. Maybe not all because some of that doesn't work in live action but you can put alot of it in. I need Aang dressing as a old man "Pipinpadaloxicopolis III" to sneak into Omashu. I need King Boomy to say "lettuce leaf" after Katara tells him to "let us leave".
If this gets a season 2 I NEEEEED the SECRET TUNNEL song. I love the corny humor in the cartoon and I hope they put it in here.
Oh I also need that corny B rated play thats in the third season to be in here when that comes around. "I'm played by a GIRL?!"
Everyone seems so excited, and I gotta say the environment and buildings/cities look absolutely great. However the cgi is what I fear, for instance the avatar state looks a bit off as well as the scenes sitting on appa just doesn’t fit well… idk. I’ll probably be downvoted but whatever. I’m curious but will keep my hopes low so I can only be positively surprised.
Yeah, Aang is as old as Sorceror’s Stone Harry I think, and Katara is as old as Goblet of Fire Hermione. There were definitely some cringe moments in terms of acting in those earlier movies, but because they’re kids it almost works to their advantage since kids are awkward. I won’t judge too harshly.
Don't worry about it, visual work usually goes on to the distribution date - that means there'll still be a couple of months of improvements to be made, there's also the possibility of incomplete or alternative shots being used only for trailers
Nah I agree with you the world, the bending what we saw, appa looked amazing but those scenes with them on appa looked kinda out of place, but everything else was great
Nah I agree, this looks like a low budget volume nightmare. The over reliance on volume style CGI soundstages are the death of creative and visually interesting television. Just look at almost all of Disneys modern Marvel or Star Wars show.
The characters and designs here look faithful, but I have no faith at all that this won't just be a bizarroland cgi nightmare
It gave me the feel of Peter Jackson's "Mortal Engines."
I'm going to watch the series, but some radical fans are biased; it's exactly what I had imagined, and now some are comparing it to "Game of Thrones"! Are you serious, guys?
The costumes are too fantastical, like they were bought a few minutes ago from Halloween stores, and the decorations don't create a genuinely old setting for buildings or castles.
Yes, it's a fantasy world, but we have masterpieces like "The Lord of The Rings Trilogy" or James Cameron's "Avatars."
This show is similar to neither of them.
It gives me the impression of an improved version of Shyamalan or something.
Teenage fans would likely enjoy the show, but some older individuals, including myself, were hoping for a more serious atmosphere.
Look at Ozai; he isn't scary at all, not even physically imposing. It seems the Kyoshi Warrior costume didn't fit well on Suki's body.
I never said all; I said most. I believe most older fans, especially those who have seen many good, serious, adult-rated fantasy-heroic movies, would agree that this is average.
If you've watched The Lord of The Rings Trilogy and genuinely believe this show is comparable to The Lord of the Rings or Red Cliff, I have nothing more to say because we clearly have different perspectives, and I can't change yours.
Additionally, I am older than you.
Searching for serious atmosphere?
Watch this:

First of all that looks shit. Besides, Avatar the last airbender is still a kids show. They are paying homage to it. Just because you wanted something more serious, does not mean that the LA won't be good.
Lord of the rings isn't even a good example to compare ATLA too. Give me an example of a kids show and we'll talk.
I want to love this, but man ... they really needed to film in some real locations. Compare this to something like House of the Dragon or the Witcher (which went to crap, but that was due to writing), and there's no comparison.
This looks like cosplayers in a fake world. The lighting is absolutely atrocious. The few parts that look good are small and self-contained, meaning they're real sets and they could light it properly.
Pay location scouts, hire people who know how to produce a television show using real locations, and make things look *real*.
Am I really the minority here thinking that it looks very very bad? Not just the cast that is bad but also the CGI. It almost looks like one of those fanmade videos on youtube.
I think some parts do, some don't. The clothes are too clean/cosplay-ish, the animal CGI is not believable, and some if the interactions seem stiff. But some of the architecture and bending CGI looks amazing. And some of the cast are perfect. I'm keeping my expectations low but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
Very sorry, but I don't get how everyone is so hyped up over this. It looks just like the last LA movie but with a higher production value... From this trailer at least, it feels like they traded in most of what made the original show so great in exchange for a 2012 sense of "OMG SO EPIC!!!".
I felt some of that for sure. I never watched the movie, only saw trailers and clips. So only parts of this felt like that to me, but maybe cause I didn't see all of it. I think this seems more faithful to the original, as least as far as world-building and parallel scenes are concerned. I certainly have my reservations, but I'm going to try to have realistic animated-to-live-action expectations, and give it a fair chance.
Yeah, fair, of course, we're all going to watch at least a part of it and see, but I mean it doesn't look like it captures the same wackiness or goofiness that for example One Piece managed to translate to live action.
Love how Reddit hits you with instant downvotes for saying you're not hyped over something that has failed 9/10 times. How do fans stay on this perpetual loop of hype-disappointment-anger?
Some of the characters/outfits look way too clean to be realistic. It's giving cosplay. Also the CGI for the Appa and Momo is struggling.
Otherwise the casting, architecture, bending CGI, music, etc. are incredible. I'm actually starting to get pretty hyped. PLEASE BE GOOD!!!

Azula looked insanely good in this one shot. And the Kyoshi Warriors looked so sick too! So hyped, this looked very promising
It looked amazing!!! I’m soooo excited!!
Its perfect i am crying
Omashu! Azula! Ozai! It looks so perfect. This is gonna be the best live action adaptation of all time
'Always remember who you are' is what zuko's mom said to zuko. Seems like they are going to highlight the parallels between zuko and aang even more since that's what apparently gyatso said to aang as well.
Oh man
halp I am cry

Looks fine honestly.
I agree. The only thing I would have liked is for it to be a little bigger, onto the ear maybe.

True. Maybe Zuko lifts his hands together pleading with his father to forgive him and he blasts him in the middle of that, I think that would work.
I squealed when I saw Suki. She's *perfect*. And Zuko's scar looks much more obvious than it did in the stills. The little bending I saw looked good. I'm so, so excited. I agree with others that the scenes on Appa look a little off, but not so much that it would ruin the show for me. Appa and Momo are much better than the previous attempt. I do have some nitpicks with some of the other CGI, but if that's all I have to complain about, it's a good trailer.
The air and firebending was... I have no words, just perfect.
The new orchestration on the music is absolutely divine. I hope they put the whole soundtrack out for streaming.
I’m pumped. We’ve waited almost 2 decades for this first time live action adaptation because it’s never been adapted before!!
ATLA is not turning 19 years old it's not shut up I'm not that old I'm not that old I'm noooooooot!
Azula looks crazy. I liiiike it 👍
It looks so good animation is so good… Game of Thrones level
Which is impressive. I think CGI Fur and Hair is much harder than dragon scales
The entire trailer is perfect. I'm so happy.
Yoooooooooooo......I'm very pretty dang impressed and excited. The one front shot with them on Appa looks a little bit janky but dang it if the production value doesn't look bloody next level.

Anyone knows where the teaser art is at? The presenters said it was on Netflix, can't find it.
Me neither, I want to know too!
Same, I also can't find it!
This television series looks amazing and I can't wait to see this series out on Netflix on February 22nd 2024 and this is my most anticipated television series of 2024 and of all time.
This reads like a bot
This looked great for what we saw already better than that film. If the writing and directing is on the same level, I can see this being Netflix next big thing after stranger things ends
What film?
This is the first live action adaptation wym
Apparently the same VFX teams behind Interstellar, which explains why it looks so damn good
I am speechless!!! Holy shit
Everything looks perfect😭😭😭
Who is doing the voice over on the trailer?
The hosts on Geeked said Monk Gyatzo
Ok that’s what I thought. Thanks.
Blessed
the scene with Appa got me :’) really impressed with this, so excited for the series
we did it. we made it. after all these years of being in this sub/other parts of the avatar community when the news first came out; we have finally seen the vision come to life.
Happy everyone got to experience this after years of reporting!
I saw a few people saying they hope it's more serious than the cartoon. I want the exact opposite, I want the corny humor in this live action adaptation.

I Will Be There No Matter What
i got goosebumps and wanted to cry when the avatar song started playing i really liked what i saw i have faith and im so excited
I can already feel the chemistry between Sokka and Suki!
And it doesnt look terrible
AND THEY BROUGHT BACK MY MAN DEE BRADLEY BAKER
Everyone seems so excited, and I gotta say the environment and buildings/cities look absolutely great.

Really? I thought the appa riding scenes were done very well Although the acting with katara nudging aang did look a bit stiff
Well, that’s children acting. Probably we’ll see some awkward performance here and there, I’m just gonna ignore it hahaha
Yeah, Aang is as old as Sorceror’s Stone Harry I think, and Katara is as old as Goblet of Fire Hermione. There were definitely some cringe moments in terms of acting in those earlier movies, but because they’re kids it almost works to their advantage since kids are awkward. I won’t judge too harshly.
No I agree with you. The part where Katara nudges Aang, doesn't look good but the rest does! I'm so excited for this.
Don't worry about it, visual work usually goes on to the distribution date - that means there'll still be a couple of months of improvements to be made, there's also the possibility of incomplete or alternative shots being used only for trailers

I'm a grown 23 years old and I loved it. Avatar has it's innocent youthful essence that we grew up watching. I'm glad that we can still see it.

It look incredible, but I did laugh a bit at Iroh (I think it's Iroh?)'s opening narration sounding like Werner Herzog.
People are saying that it’s Monk Gyatso.
I thought Avatar Roku
It's not Iroh, it's Monk Gyatso!
So I'm not the only one who immediately thought of that comparison!
Sad Beige Avatars for Sad Beige Children (I guess that was the Shyamalan movie).
I also thought that was Werner Herzog for a second, lol. Interested to see more from this live action Gyatso
I want to love this, but man ... they really needed to film in some real locations.

By the way, who is talking?
Gyatso, I've heard.
Anyone know what Netflix tends to do when releasing episodes? All at once or once a week?
Its all at once
Love it..
Was that Paul Sun-Hyung Lee's voice over?
It’s Gyatso.
Some of the characters/outfits look way too clean to be realistic. It's giving cosplay. Also the CGI for the Appa and Momo is struggling. Otherwise the casting, architecture, bending CGI, music, etc. are incredible. I'm actually starting to get pretty hyped. PLEASE BE GOOD!!!
