So. At the end of October I’m taking a two-week vacation, and I’ve been trying to figure out what I can do during that two weeks. I think I figured it out. What if I streamed all the bad Barbie movies? Because we have them all. Like, my mom makes sure she has them all. What if I like stream want to day and we just have fun watching them and riffing on them and stuff?
Mind. Blown. Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender LIVE ACTION SERIES coming soon from co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko
Yes. You read that correctly.
A live-action adaptation of ATLA is coming to Netflix, executive produced and showrun by ATLA and TLOK co-creators and showrunners Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, collectively known to the fans as Bryke.
Here’s what Bryke had to say:
“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.”
Obviously we’ll be covering this in full. Expect a LOT of news, this could be one of Netflix’s biggest productions, on the scale of House of Cards, Stranger Things, and The Crown… this could be their competitor to HBO’s Game of Thrones and its upcoming spinoffs, Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series, and Disney’s live action Star Wars series… this could be really, really BIG…
GET HYPED!!!

considering the original creators are working directly on this, it seems to be a miniseries, it looks like its got casting that actually resembles the characters and netflix actually has a solid track record when it comes to live action adaptations… i have a good feeling about this
This may be the greatest writing on D&D of our lifetimes. I know it looks like a lot, but please read it, you will be so happy and you will either begin to understand D&D or else recognize this rightness in your SOUL.
this is so deeply correct i may never stop nodding
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
