The show reimagines the animated global phenomenon from creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino.
And, who could forget the loveable sky bison Appa and winged lemur Bobo?
Theres an uncontrollable increase in solemnity in the transition to real people and tweaks.
It feels cutesy in a moment of life or death.
The trailer also incorporates many action-adventure trope-like exchanges.
These overtly inspirational declarations come across as cheesy in a live-action setting.
These are not exactly people.
The costumes feel like they could have been bought at Spirit Halloween.
Its as if a magic fairy waved her wand and turned the animated clothing into stiff replicas.
The clothes do not seem realistic or comfortable.
They seem, once again, like imitations.
Wheres the visual result of the tumble?
Wheres the battle armor that looks efficient, as opposed to ebullient?
Lets hope the full series manages this balancing act with greater nuance.
