‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Creators Exit Netflix Live-Action Adaptation

“Many of you have been asking me for updates about the ‘Avatar’ live-action Netflix series,” DiMartino wrote in anearly Wednesday morning. “I can finally tell you that I am no longer involved with the project. In June of this year, after two years of development work, Bryan Konietzko and I made the difficult decision to leave the production.”

DiMartino went on to say that when he and Konietzko first signed on to make the series Netflix was committed to working with them on their vision for the show. “Unfortunately, things did not go as we had hoped,” he wrote. “Look, things happen. Productions are challenging,” he continued. “Unforeseen events arise. Plans have to change. And when those things have happened at other points during my career, I try to be like an Air Nomad and adapt. I do my best to go with the flow, no matter what obstacle is put in my way. But even an Air Nomad knows when it’s time to cut their losses and move on.”

He also assured fans that he is still involved in the “Avatar” universe, which has seen renewed interest since “The Last Airbender” became available on Netflix, with “Legend of Korra” set to join it this week. “And who knows? Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar has the potential to be good,” he wrote. “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.”The live-action version of the hit Nickelodeon animated series was first ordered at Netflix in September 2018.

So what. Who cares?

What a relief I prefer Anime

Why make an adaptation if it's not going to be better than the original one?

😔

Don’t care, I’d prefer new stories. Not live action of the same one. We already had a live action movie. I’d rather have have an earth bender Avatar story.

so it's gonna suck just like the movie

...then we don’t want it netflix

Check it out!: I Will create professional logo animation and intro outro videos

They should just continue with the animation Series. the next sequence destiny Avatar after Korra

they can keep it 💀

netflix has F'd this up. It's going to be another POS adaptation.

We want Avatar's Creators working on the show NO CREATORS NO LIVE ACTION

i'm not, cancel it

It’s at this point when the best decision that works for all is to tell a side story, not a redo.

Boooo

Yeah.... I doubt it the fact that they left says it all

the fans aren't but good for them i guess

I’ve lost interest in this adaption if the original creators aren’t involved.

Netflix lied to them to begin with. Disappointing.

This is always a GOOD sign. Right? Right...?

when you have creative differences with the freaking creators you are doing something wrong.

😞😞😞😞😞😞

Netflix We don’t want it

press X to doubt

dave_filoni taking it home to disneyplus? No matter what it’s gonna be awesome!

None of us are confident in them

Hey netflix bring them back

Hopefully netflix leaves it alone then. I will actually cancel netflix if they try to do it and screw up.

Aang will be 40 yo and bisexual.

GoatsDueling collegeking did you see this news yet Bryce and I were both looking forward to this show. It’s probably not gonna be as good if the creators aren’t involved 🥴

Creo que Netflix la va a cagar

I mean...2020 can just go home already. Wtf

we want the creators back in the production of the live action NO CREATORS NO LIVE ACTION

Maybe some things weren't meant to be adapted if you don't do it right.

Avatar the last Airbender (ATLA) and Bryke stans you know what's NOT being turned into a terrible live action? the Legend of Korra and it's hitting Netlifx in just TWO days! Make sure to STREAM the Legend of Korra when it comes out on August 14th!

OH NO

I wonder if M. Night Shyamalan is available

Beyond furious😡 if they’re just gonna mess it up like the movie why even bother making it at all?!?!

Netflix was sitting of the brink of making one of the greatest live action shows ever and just threw it out the window

Let's show them we aren't messing around. avatarthelastairbender netflix justiceforaang cancelnetflix

Won't be watching this now. Thanks netflix

It was so easy to greenlit a new animated series. Why another live-action? They brought this upon themselves.
