Thoughts on upcoming Netflix show? (www.netflix.com)

I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about the upcoming ATLA Netflix show. I'm a little concerned that this show would have some of the same issues as the M. Night movie, in terms of tone and what ultimately gets cut.

Not to mention, I don't think there have been many animated shows that have been properly adapted to live-action. I wonder if the bending physics will just look goofy.

There are too many good stories to watch the same one again with a different look. Even if they do it well, I’d rather watch something else for the first time.

Funnily enough, people complained when Netflix's great Death Note changed so much the plot... Your point is right, people want to resee the same story in a different look, but I think it should be retold differently. However I don't see much a point in redoing ATLA when the source is so good, hardily they would give a good new vision about the show & its story
