Part 8/11:
Filming in Vancouver, Canada, is confirmed, but that only exacerbates fears that the show will resemble a generic Western setting—probably indistinguishable from other recent productions. The decision to film in Canada could result in a bland, stereotypical landscape that fails to capture the beauty and diversity of the original show's Asian and Arctic-inspired worlds.
Adding to skepticism is the new showrunner, whose identity remains unannounced, raising further questions about the project's direction and commitment to quality. The combination of behind-the-scenes uncertainty and the ongoing rumors makes many supporters wary that the series is destined to disappoint.
