</div></blockquote></div><p>I don't think I need to be politically correct about this, because everyone who watched it shares this opinion. The <a href="https://celebritypage.com/10-movies-turning-10-this-month" target="_blank">M. Night Shyamalan</a> movie adaptation of the series was awful. He could have just filmed a flaming trash can for 103 minutes, and I would have enjoyed it far more. </p><p>The Wikipedia page for this movie calls it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Airbender" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one of the worst films ever made</a>. It actually has its own section on the Wikipedia page for the worst films ever made. I'm not kidding, it's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_worst" target="_blank">right here</a>. It was an embarrassment. M. Night, dude, I love <em>Split</em>. You are an amazing director with many amazing films in your name. But this movie won six Razzies for a reason. </p><p>I could talk for hours with even more metaphors as to how disappointed I am by this movie, but instead, we're going to learn from the mistakes of the movie. </p>

</div></blockquote></div><p>The races of the different nations in <em data-redactor-tag="em">ATLA </em>are crucial to the plot. The Air Nation represent Tibetan Buddhists, the Water Tribe are indigenous people, Earthbenders are Chinese, and the Fire Nation represents Japanese imperialists. This is vital to the plot and plays out metaphorically in reference to East Asian politics. </p><p>Staying true to the identity of the nations and characters is crucial to the success of this show. Don't slap a bunch of stars together and try to convince me <a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=timothee" target="_blank">Timothée Chalamet</a> in a bald cap can be Aang. Get good actors who represent these cultures to express their culture in the manner they see best. </p><p><br></p>

</div></blockquote></div><p>Netflix, I know you guys have money. If you can pay for <em><a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=marvel" target="_blank">Infinity War</a>, </em><em><a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=friends" target="_blank">Friends</a>, </em><em></em><em></em>and <a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=the+office" target="_blank"><em>The Office</em></a>, as you have in the past, you can pay for some good CGI. I'm not saying Netflix lacks in fight scenes with their original content, but the animated version gave them a lot to live up to. </p>
Keep the Characters the Way They Are
<p>Seriously, don't change a thing. The evolution of Zuko, the growth of Aang, the strife of Katara, the maturity of Sokka, everything. There are so many moments in this show that speak to humanity, growth, love, and acceptance. I don't want to see a serious Aang, or a Fire Lord I can relate to, or a seeing Toph. Many, many people have tripped on the path you're currently walking, and none of us want the same mistakes we've seen from other franchises. <span></span></p>
<p>In conclusion, keep the spirit of the show. This show is light hearted yet intense. Wholesome yet painful. It had the very unique ability to discuss very adult themes such as genocide, colonialism, imperialism, racism, and more in a kid friendly yet adult appealing manner. Don't lose the magic. </p>
