Part 9/11:
The controversy extends beyond casting or plot alterations—it touches upon the core question of whether Avatar should be adapted at all. Many fans argue that the animated series is a perfect package that doesn't need a live-action version. They believe the effort to remake it is unnecessary and risks diluting its legacy.
The original creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, have since parted ways with the project, publicly disavowing the adaptation and emphasizing their disinterest in the series' current direction. Their departure raises concerns about how faithfully the new series could or should follow the original narrative.
