Honestly, I think this looks well done and I’m excited to watch it! It may not be the original and it may be minorly unnecessary, but it looks done with love and reverence.
It will reach a new audience who wouldn’t watch the original because it’s a cartoon, and that’s great!

I lost hope when the original creators left the project because it didn’t respect their vision.

I regained my hope when I found out that they left, not actually because of creative differences, but because they were given a ton of money to create a new studio for Nickelodeon to create new Avatar content.
It’s one of those rare cases where everyone is a winner!

Their message did not seem to reflect that sentiment
(www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2023/…/amp/)[DiMartino called exiting the project “the hardest professional decision I’ve ever had to make,” adding: “Netflix’s live-action adaptation of ‘Avatar’ has the potential to be good. It might turn out to be a show many of you end up enjoying. But what I can be certain about is that whatever version ends up on-screen, it will not be what Bryan and I had envisioned or intended to make.”]
But apparently they said on the bending elements that it was your stated reason. Dare I hope? I’m cautiously optimistic.

Except there never was any word im indicating that it didnt respect their vision. The reason for why they left is still not publicly known.
