News culture ‘Disheartening’ The creator of this Netflix series was paralyzed after the film’s failure 13 years ago
This new live-action adaptation on Netflix is scaring its creator, and that’s understandable! Following the departure of the people who created this rich universe, fear sets in as the series’ official release approaches.
Netflix and the live-action films are a love story that simply never ends. The end of summer was marked by the arrival of One Piece with real actors on the red streaming platform. Few expected this series to be successful, but the producers achieved the impossible. Most adaptations don’t do well with fans and subscribers of streaming platforms, so it’s a real achievement that this manga, with its rich universe, has been translated relatively well to the big screen.
This success allowed Netflix to be more confident about the future of its productions in the same style. So everything points to “Avatar: The Last Airbender” being a success on Netflix. In addition, the trailer looks more than promising, which, in contrast to the film adaptation by M. Night Shyamalan, which was released 13 years earlier, gives hope for a final version that is faithful to the original.
But one event clouds the picture… This marks the departure of the two creators of the original animated series: Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, due to creative differences. The producer of this new adaptation, Albert Kim, was disheartened by this sudden decision.

The creator of this adaptation is lost after these departures
In fact, it will be on February 22nd that the adaptation “Avatar the Last Airbender” will see the light of day on Netflix. However, the project did not go as planned as the two original creators decided to abandon the adventure. They stated that Netflix did not respect and support their vision for this “reimagining” of this universe. Therefore, producer Albert Kim feels a little lost and worried after these departures.
You’d have to be an idiot not to be a little intimidated. Do I really want to do this? Is there a way to improve the original? When you’re tackling something that’s already loved by millions of fans, you have to ask yourself these questions.
He then assures that the authors are fans of this work and that the plots have been reworked in Netflix style so that they “make sense for a drama series.” In any case, there are only a few weeks left to judge the quality of this new version.
