Are you going to watch the new Avatar: The Last Airbender coming to Netflix?

Not unless a significant number of my friends insist it's worth watching, which isn't likely to happen.

First and foremost, I think the original is one of the most overrated shows ever made. It's mediocre at best, but put on a golden pedestal by millions for some reason. I'm pretty critical of the animated star wars content, and certainly wouldn't rate it any higher than that.

Second, it's Netflix. They're batting like 1/10 on live action adaptations. One of the most telltale signs is whether or not the original creator (s) are involved, and when last I heard, they left halfway through production over "creative differences" or something to that effect, which screams bastardization. While it's possible that whatever changes they made may actually improve it, history and trends in media overwhelmingly say otherwise.

Lastly, I've pretty much had enough of remakes broadly. Stop trying to recreate nostalgia for people who have aged out of content and pandering to a mythical "modern audience" that doesn't exist in large enough numbers to justify. Instead, pursue new content that can stand as the next big thing on its own without needing to ride something else's coattails.

The one potential saving grace the show may have, is making a series I don't care for actually watchable, which I credit live action One Piece for doing.
