So, Avatar the Last Airbender the Live Action adaptation has dropped. I'm only 3 episodes in and so far...its pretty good. I feel so far its a fairly faithful live adaptation.
Netflix Avatar the Last Air Bender Live Action.

I've friends who liked the original who like it. I've friends who had never seen the original who really liked it.
It could be good.
I am baffled and unwilling to check on mere sentiment of...Why live-action the same thing that was made before (and even live-action'd before)? Remaking the same show with less filler/depth and an incapability of doing some things based on budget/reality-restrictions just seems so useless when you could have gone back a few avatars and made something new.
Why do a live-action 'greatest hits' series? Besides the obvious 'member-berries marketing it's just so...blah

I'm also confused why there's been this push lately to do live-action versions of animated works, especially when there is very little that could be "improved" on. I know with some of it, like with the Cowboy Bebop live-action, it's because of the usual "for a modern audience" cultural vandalism. I also wonder about animation age ghetto, which is to say that some people seem to think something can't be taken seriously, or be "good" unless it's live-action. So I am by default against live-action remakes of animated works on general principal.
