<p>Even if Shyamalan hadn't taken to series and taken a dump on it, there still shouldn't be a re-imagining of the original series, not even if it's netflix making it. Don't go from an animated TV series to a live action series, if it's just gonna be Aang, Katara and Sokka again, we already have a perfect show with these guys, don't just rehash it, with the only difference being it's live action. The only plus i give Shyamalan is he made it a movie, a different medium.
</p><p>If Netflix is gonna make a live action show, don't set it around the same events and characters, TLA or LOK: make a COMPLETELY different series, with a new storyline, and a new avatar. Have the gimmick be there's twin Avatars, or an avatar that's the villain; don't have the gimmick be it's in live action.
</p><p>We don't need the original storyline and characters to create some cheap fan-recognition. Bending, the avatar, the spirit world, the four nations, these are reconisable enough. Netflix would be drawing in the worst kind of audience if they did ^ THIS to grow the fanbase, they don't need to do this, the original series would be enough.
