What is Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender about?
The show is best described using the same words that waterbender Katara spoke in the introduction for the original Nickelodeon animated series: "Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, can stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed, and my brother [Sokka] and I [Katara] discovered the new Avatar: an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."
Aang and his friends are tasked to stop Fire Lord Ozai and the Fire Nation's destructive quest for power.
Netflix first announced the project in 2018, however, there were massive delays in the production due to several reasons.
