I want them to dive into exactly that in NATLA, more than they already have.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really enjoying it as an 'AU' that explores some off-screen scenes and implications from the original. I think people are getting too hung up on it being 'not ATLA' (just like LoK).

I keep meaning to give that a try, but after Shyamalan... No. Just the memory of that is enough to give pause.

Also, Netflix live action has been... well, never quite as good as the original. They often don't lean into the genre as hard as they need to.

What Shyamalan movie?

(Seriously, it's nothing like the movie).

And it's fine, its entertaining and a spectacle with some emotional moments. I mean, it depends what else is in your TV queue, as there's a TON to watch these days, but I wouldn't skip it just because it's not ATLA.
