Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is the latest attempt to bring the three-season animated series to life after M. Night Shyamalan’s failed film over a decade ago. This time around, Netflix is bringing the story to live-action in the form of an eight-episode season reimaging the events of Book One. Albert Kim served as the showrunner after Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino exited over creative differences.At first, it looked like the series promised a faithful take based on its visuals. Leading up to the series debut, the Netflix creators revealed the new adaptation would also tone down Sokka’s sexism, play around with the timeline, and feature other elements. Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender plays with the Book One narrative with even bigger changes that fans of the original series will quickly notice.The events that play out in the Netflix series are close to what occurs in the animated series in broad strokes. In particular, Aang’s viewers don’t learn about his backstory until the episode titled “The Storm” later in the season. Moving Aang’s backstory up to the front adds more weight to the Air Temple genocide and the relationship between Aang and Monk Gyatso. The Fire Nation opening also shows audiences how big of a threat they are early on and lays out the stakes for the world.
