Ehhhh.... It's high budget for sure, but I'm just not convinced live action avatar will ever be good. They could've remastered the cartoon with a fraction of the budget.

I'm okay with this, but I also was okay with cowboy bebop live action lol

I hope everyone remembers that we don't need a copy of the original animation. We already have the original animation and trying to copy it in another medium usually is just inferior in every way

Let this be a new thing, an opportunity for a new audience to be reached with a new thing. I can always go back and watch the animation whenever I want.

If you want something new, make something new. Otherwise this is just a marketing product repackaging peoples childhoods and trying to sell it back to them.

I don't care? If it's fun, and more people get to enjoy it, why is that bad? Let them play again in the same sandbox. It's bad when an industry becomes too reliant on that type of media, and it's bad when the content is, you know, bad, like the movie. But if it's good content then why get a bug in your ass over some economic principle?

There's room in the world for all of these things. You can comment on the industry trend without shitting on a specific product that isn't even out yet
