Of course, there are more reviews to come for Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show went live earlier today, and its first season feature eight packed episodes. Despite some pacing and acting critiques, fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender seem to enjoy this show’s reimagining. It is an authentic take on the hit Nickelodeon series, and it makes some risky changes. Some of the edits did not land well, but for the most part, social media is giving Avatar: The Last Airbender a solid thumbs up. And even at its lowest points, the Netflix adaptation is leagues above the 2010 Hollywood adaptation for Avatar: The Last Airbender… yikes!

Here at ComicBook, we sit on the side of Team Avatar as our review of the Netflix series gave it four out of five stars. “The live-action adaptation is the antithesis of Hollywood’s blighted attempt from years ago. [Avatar: The Last Airbender] takes big risks with its changes, but they all serve the story in an authentic way. Despite its gritty aesthetic, Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender realizes a new and faithful take on Nickelodeon’s greatest series. But if you are an Avatar purist, this bold adaptation might not be up your alley,” our review reads. So to check out the entire review, you can find it here.
