Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender took many creative liberties different from the original series, but showrunner Albert Kim says he might adapt at least one story arc completely intact.Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender captured the spirit of the animated series at the expense of many fan-favorite storylines. Showrunner Albert Kim acknowledged as much but asserted that these were necessary for a cohesive reimagining of the original. Kim shared the reason for these in an interview with Collider, hoping the built-in Avatarfan base would appreciate or at least understand. He explains the many sacrifices they had to make in character and plot development, including potential changes to Katara and Aang’s budding romance.”I was fortunate in that it wasn’t a big issue in the first season for us,” Kim continued. “Because, you know, practically speaking, there are certain things you can do with animated characters that you can’t with live-action ones when it comes to something like that.” Katara’s romantic interest was developed and established when the Nickelodeon series ended, but Kim said they won’t even explore that angle, not yet. “It’s not something that we hit very much head on in the first season there,” he asserted. “We are obviously aware of where it goes in the original series, but it’s more of a future issue and a future storyline to be dealt with.”
