We finally have our very first look at Netflix’s highly-anticipated live-action series remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender, with photos from the Tudum fan event after five years of waiting. Revealing only a tantalizing tease, Avatar: The Last Airbender will aim to bring Nickelodeon’s acclaimed animated television series of the same name to live-action in 2024. Properly, this time.

Avatar, not to be confused with James Cameron’s blue space people, is a wonderful world where people can “bend” or manipulate one of the four classical elements – earth, fire, water, air; and even though each have specialized sub-bending sets, a bender cannot use more than one. Only the Avatar possesses the ability to bend all four elements, serving as the “bridge” who can travel between the mortal world and the spirit world.

After M. Night Shyamalan’s disastrous live-action film adaptation over thirteen years ago, which was lackluster in some parts and horrendous in the rest, fans have been anxious to see how things will end up this time around, praying desperately that it will go right against all odds and breathe new life into the lauded and beloved franchise. But these photos have a lot to tell us about where this show is going and how it might serve as an adaptation. With the sneak peek featured below, here’s everything the first-look photos reveal about Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender.

What Do They Reveal?

Before we dive into the photos’ meanings, reveals, and interpretations, just look at them right up above. We see the four main characters of the animated series that appear all the way through the show, each of them integral parts of the lauded story.

First, we have Aang himself with his glider staff, the bald twelve-year-old raised by air nomads, the Avatar himself. Played by Gordon Cormier in this adaptation, Aang is the last living Airbender after the Fire Nation wiped out all the airbenders to prevent the Avatar from stopping their world conquest.

Second is a fully-armored Zuko, the banished prince of the Fire Nation whose eye was burned by his father, the Fire Lord. Played by Dallas Liu, Zuko is a ferocious firebender hunting down Aang, so he can bring him back as a ticket back home to restore his honor.

Third is Sokka, a young man who can’t bend anything, played by Ian Ousley, charged with leading the Southern Water Tribe.

Fourth is Katara, Sokka’s sister, played by Kiawentiio Tarbell, the last waterbender in the South Pole after the Fire Nation nearly wiped out most of her tribe and Aang’s love interest.

This is an extremely basic first look, especially for a highly-anticipated Netflix show, but there’s a lot we can pull out of these seemingly dull images.

Accurate Costuming and Casting

Fans should be relieved when seeing the first-look images, as the most striking thing about these photos is that the show is clearly resolving one of the biggest issues with the film: the poor costuming and bad casting.

The world of Avatar was heavily inspired by foreign cultures and native aesthetics from across the real world, especially in Asian society. The water tribes in the Poles were modeled after the Eskimo tribes in the Poles with fluffy fur coats to keep them warm, and the air nomads lived like the Buddhist monks in the mountains of Tibet with bright flowing robes.

The earth kingdoms were built in the same way as imperial China with fine jeweled regalia, and the Fire Nation progressed like industrialized Japan with impressive well-crafted armor. The language and customs are all inspired by places across Asia and the world, and the people, too, by the way they act and dress.

The film, for some reason, decided to cast White actors as Asian characters, with Indian and Iranian as the evil world-conquering firebenders. The decision was quite controversial, with many fans calling for boycotts of the movie for whitewashing and disrespecting the source material.

That wasn’t the only casting issue, as the actors were dressed in drab, boring costumes, which failed to make them stand out. The actors themselves simply weren’t good – though to be fair, the script didn’t give them much to work with, as one major scene ends with Zuko delivering the clanger “We will catch him soon, Uncle, then we can think about the pretty girls.”

These image reveals should relieve all anxiety about costuming and casting, as the actors are accurately cast and well-chosen, each with an impressive repertoire to their name.

And in their costumes, it all comes together, with Aang now in his bright orange and yellow robes, Zuko in his dark armor, and Sokka and Katara in their fur robes (Sokka even has his boomerang!).

Fans should rest assured from these photos that, on the camera, this adaptation will be true to the original.

Faithful Story Adaptation

To infer more about the casting and costuming, we can see, even without any more knowledge, that this will be a faithful story adaptation of the original because of putting this much effort into the details of the characters.

If you look closely at Aang’s blue arrow tattoo on his head, there are stylized gusts of wind linking up to form the arrow. In the original show, it was simply straight blue – then we can be sure that this adaptation will be much more faithful to everything else. The film, on the other hand, thought it necessary to change Aang’s name to “Ong.”

The photos are all set in a snowy background, meaning that we will probably see a straightforward similarity to the original, to the great relief of many fans.

Of course, these are simply four very basic photos, but we can have hope that things will be better this time and more will grow to love this story – if things go right.
