I’ve been impatiently waiting for the official trailer just like everyone else. Not simply to see more but because I knew it should include the characters interacting. That is a very good test of whether this one has any chance of success or not. And this trailer almost takes my breath away on that count.
It’s not just that they appear to have nailed the casting and the world. It’s that they’ve nailed the humor.
Let’s be honest here, there is reason that so many people go into watching the original cartoon thinking it’s just a kids show but come away devoted fans for life. That grown men cry over the finale. Namely, it tackles some pretty adult themes with just the right amount of humor to keep it child friendly. It will be understandable if the live action goes a little darker but without the humor it would not be the Avatar: TLA we all love.
And don’t think I didn’t notice that we still didn’t hear Uncle Iroh say anything.
I hope Netflix has the best servers in the world when this one drops or they may melt down. Not joking at all.
