Ehhhh… It’s high budget for sure, but I’m just not convinced live action avatar will ever be good. They could’ve remastered the cartoon with a fraction of the budget.
Not sure how they can top the original movie. Why try to do better then a masterpiece?
The Water of the Ocean.
4 different ways to pronounce Avatar.
Truly a masterpiece.
I’m okay with this, but I also was okay with cowboy bebop live action lol
I hope everyone remembers that we don’t need a copy of the original animation. We already have the original animation and trying to copy it in another medium usually is just inferior in every way
Let this be a new thing, an opportunity for a new audience to be reached with a new thing. I can always go back and watch the animation whenever I want.
If you want something new, make something new. Otherwise this is just a marketing product repackaging peoples childhoods and trying to sell it back to them.
I don’t care? If it’s fun, and more people get to enjoy it, why is that bad? Let them play again in the same sandbox. It’s bad when an industry becomes too reliant on that type of media, and it’s bad when the content is, you know, bad, like the movie. But if it’s good content then why get a bug in your ass over some economic principle?
There’s room in the world for all of these things. You can comment on the industry trend without shitting on a specific product that isn’t even out yet
They didn’t ruin One Piece so I’ll give them a shot.
Definitely agree with you. If anything, that trailer just made me want to watch the original show again!
The combat seems a lot more dynamic than Shyamalan’s take, so that’s something at least.
Nice, I don’t have to crosspost it from !avatar@lemmy.world to here.
Some of the scenes in this trailer are remarkably close to the animated series. The heart seems to be in there. Whether it works as a whole package will need to be seen…
Aaaw, that theme music always gets me. I’m kinda intrigued, I love the opportunity to see again these characters and to stay with them for some more time, but also I don’t know if I should really put my trust on Netflix
My 8yo gave her seal of approval after seeing Aang in Avatar state, saying, ‘this looks a lot better than that other dumb movie we watched long back (the avatar state eyes on that movie was super weird)’
For reference:

I’m just glad they’re pronouncing “Aang” correctly
It pronounced like “Aang” right?
“Ay-ang? It’s there an Ay-ang here today?”
Sounds like they specifically lingered on it a couple of times. This one looks like it’s going to just kind of be a compressed version of the cartoon, which could be a lot worse, as we all know. Hopefully it’s respectful and mostly consistent, and people who find they just need to know more can go back and watch the Nick series. Even if that leaves it sort of “slight” for those already invested, it will have value. Fingers crossed.
I mean, it looks better than the last attempt at a live action avatar. I’m not optimistic though.
I wish they would stop. I’m not even an Avatar fan, but I can see what they’re doing here. They’re Dragonballing it.
Fraction of the budget? Depends on how high of quality they would remaster it. If it would be a high quality remake than an animation could easily cost 500k to a 1 million a minute. And remaking it to the quality level of something like the Dragon Prince would be a waste of effort since it would only look slightly better.
