Somebody on Twitter pointed out that almost all of the netflix Avatar show was filmed so that the focus of the action would be at the center, so it could be viewed vertically, like on tiktok

Albert Kim has joined Disney+’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ team as an executive producer. (x)

He most recently served as the showrunner for Netflix’s ‘Avatar the Last Airbender’. He is stepping down from that position to pursue more opportunities, like executive producing on Percy Jackson, but he will continue to work as an executive producer on Avatar as well.

You can show Ty Lee do gymnastics, acrobatics, circus tricks, chi block, or show Mai's expertise with knife throwing, and stealth. But, no.

They're really are gonna stand there throughout the entire series and constantly give Azula :

"You go girl!!!"

Look the scene:

Katara: “The world need you.”

Katara: “I need you.”

Final writing credits for live-action ATLA Season 1 have been submitted; Bryke wrote two episodes

With the final writing credits now submitted, Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra co-creators and Avatar Studios co-heads Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino (“Bryke”) co-wrote two episodes of Netflix’s eight-episode live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 1: episode 1 and episode 6.

We already knew about episode 1, which was co-written between live-action showrunner Albert Kim and them.

What’s new is episode 6, the story of which was by Ubah Mohamed and Bryke and the script (aka “teleplay” in the world of TV) by Emily Kim (Marvel’s Spider-Gwen), Hunter Ries (Nick/Netflix), and Bryan only.

“Story by” + “teleplay by” = “written by”, so all the other episodes besides episode 6 had the same people for both story and script, and “teleplay by”/“written by” credits are for when someone has contributed at least 33% of a script when it comes to an adaptation. This isn’t because Bryke are the creators of the source material-- their credits for that will be separate and unrelated to episode writing credits.

Here’s the updated list for the season:

Episode 1: Albert Kim and Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko

Albert Kim: showrunner

Mike and Bryan: ATLA/TLOK creators, Avatar Studios heads

Episode 2: Joshua Hale Fialkov

Young Justice (DC)

Episode 3: Christine Boylan

Cloak & Dagger (Marvel)

The Punisher (Marvel, Netflix)

Episode 4: Keely MacDonald

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Netflix)

Episode 5: Gabriel Llanas

National Treasure: Edge of History (Disney+)

Episode 6: story by Ubah Mohamed and Bryan Konietzko & Michael Dante DiMartino, teleplay by Emily Kim & Hunter Ries and Bryan Konietzko

Ubah Mohamed: LA Law

Emily Kim: Marvel’s Spider-Gwen

Hunter Ries: Nickelodeon, Netflix

Episode 7: Audrey Wong Kennedy

Amazing Stories (Apple TV+)

Episode 8: Albert Kim

just found out the live action showrunner, albert kim, (along with another writer on the reboot) was behind nicole beharie’s racist abuse on sleepy hollow and her subsequent blacklisting after.

and before people ask me who the writer is, her name is keely macdonald. she’s in this pic in green

Watching the live action ATLA, I can now see why the OG creators left the project.

[aanglican]

Konietzko and DiMartino’s presence isn’t completely absent from the live-action series. Traces of them still exist. Kim sat down with the duo in the early days before their departure to pick their brains. He recalls, “It ran the range of really nerdy little things that no one except for diehard fans might wonder about — questions about Katara’s mom or Aang’s parentage — to bigger picture stuff about how to translate what made the original so special into a live-action version." At the same time, he stresses, "This is Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it is our version of Avatar: The Last Airbender."

The animated original told a story that played out over 20 challenge-of-the-week-style episodes in its first season before transitioning to a more serialized approach in its second and third seasons. The live-action Avatar will instead begin to adapt the main events with an eight-episode hourlong drama format for the initial run. As such, Kim explains, some events will have a strict one-to-one adaptation, while others will be remixed.

For one, "We don't start the show the way the animated series starts," Kim says. "That was a conscious decision to show people this is not the animated series." For another, "We had to sometimes unravel storylines and remix them in a new way to make sense for a serialized drama," he adds. "So I'm very curious to see what'll happen in terms of reaction to that."

In the end, the team's goal was to remain true to the original spirit of the animated series, while delivering a massive, sweeping fantasy epic. "All of our writers are also fans of the original, so they drew upon their own personal experiences and the things that they love the best," Kim says. "We made sure to include all those in the show."

So the narrator IS Monk Gyatso. Ah man, I had a feeling! I was split between him and Avatar Roku. I do hope they keep Katara as the narrator of the intro, though.

But also, listening to the showrunners disect the trailer gives me a bit more confidence on the show.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Trailer

"The four nations of the world once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world." (Netflix) Aang, a young airbender, reawakens to a world at war. With his new water tribe friends Katara and Sokka, he begins his quest to take his place as the Avatar.

Avatar: The Last Airbender stars Gordon Cormier (Aang), Kiawentiio (Katara), Ian Ousley (Sokka), Dallas Liu (Zuko), Daniel Dae Kim (Fire Lord Ozai), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Iroh), Ken Leung (Zhao), and Elizabeth Yu (Azula). Albert Kim serves as showrunner, writer, and an executive producer.

Avatar: The Last Airbender hits Netflix on February 22, 2024.

To see Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, and Dallas Liu react to and talk about the trailer check out Netflix's video here.

You know how in Zuko's 1st agni kai against his Father, you get a glimse of the crowd and see every fire nation watches in glee at Zuko being righteously tortured, humiliated, and punished by Ozai.

And as many watched on, his own uncle looks away in sadness unable to stomach how his own brother would treat his own son.

And you see the Netflix version and they look like they're watching Idk probably a tennis match or something
