Avatar: The Last Airbender

Do you remember how superhero movies were goofy back then? They didn't get what is the needed to make it look serious, and Superman from the 80's and Tim Burton's Batman got it: theatre acting and filming.

For animes, we still didn't get the tone. Comic books are diverse, but often have vibrant colours, which movies nowdays can easily reproduce, or they have realistic portraits, or frenetic arreagements/colours alà Jack Kirby, the last one which is harder to reproduce (maybe that Thor movie did it? Idk, trailer seemed visually chaotic.)

However, see One Piece: it's very cartoony, colours are kinda blant yet have nice shadows when needed, low details with sketchs. How do you visually adapt that to a live action? I think in ~~thar~~ that case it was needed Amélie Poulain's colour schemes, with actors made-up more or less like they didn't make-up, yet to have young, nice-looking visual instead of dark (as it's usual when dealing with 'dirt visual' live actions)

How about Avatar? I think it's in a similar look as One Piece, however I don't think my recommendations match with avatar. Avatar can get a bit more of realism, but I think one key element should be clear, bright colours, which is against nowdays' TV Shows and movies which tend to be dark.

Is Jack Chan still alive? We need people like him to teach nice stunts, or at least posing. Also, CG should only be there for water-bending and earth-bending. Air-bending should be 3D render of 2D drawings, it would look nicer and look like something touchable. And of course for the animals, but with bright colours, unlike Lion King-like.

Edit: if they do as the One Piece adaptation, we are doomed

Edit: just saw the list. Good news: it's bright. Bad news: seems 'flat' and plastic-like, but they use to change these kind of stuff for better. Do you rememeber Sonic? Btw, is that Zuko?

Dude's huge
