Fire bending, sky bison, and the Blue Spirit, oh my! The latest trailer for Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is here, and it is chock full of good looks at the action and story to come. This trailer gives us our first real glimpses of all four kinds of bending in all their live-action glory. And boy do they look good. This tease also takes us deep into the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, with shots of the locations we’ll visit and some of the fascinating (sometimes adorable, sometimes ferocious) creatures we’ll meet. Of course, this trailer also reminds us what’s at the heart of Avatar: The Last Airbender, live-action or not. And that’s the power of friendship, love, and the hope we have in our hearts.
Let’s take a look.
We’re thrilled to see hallmarks of the series we know and love come to life in this adaptation, although we know the story may be remixed and reimagined a bit. Who is behind the mask of the Blue Spirit? Well, cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender fans will know, but isn’t it exciting that a whole new generation of viewers will find out for the first time in the live-action?
Fingers crossed that the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is as good as its trailer makes it appear. It has a lot to live up to, that’s for sure. We’re definitely excited to see bending executed perfectly! It’s integral to the series for this aspect of the world to look as smooth and fantastically realistic as possible. And it sure does.
If nothing else, we’re relieved to find that Momo is as cute as ever. And that live-action June, the bounty hunter, is every bit as fierce as her cartoon counterpart.
The villainous Fire Lord Ozai is also fierce… In different and similar ways.
