While the trailer has set social media on fire, the black Mercedes Benz, which Mohanlal uses in the movie, has also caught the attention of movie buffs as it bears the number '2255', which reminds the famous dialogue of Mohanlal in the film, 'Rajavinte Makan'. Going by the trailer, the movie promises to be a high-octane action entertainer that has an equal dose of entertainment. Taking to his Instagram handle, Mohanlal unveiled the action-packed trailer that gives a glimpse of his ultimate mass avatar in the flick. What are your thoughts on all this, though? Sound off in the comments.The much-awaited trailer of Mohanlal's action-entertainer Aaraattu is out. I just don’t want the same for my Avatar.Īnd those are the five MUSTS that I feel this new show has to nail. Stuff is always getting changed around and altered. The sequel followed waterbender Korra’s journey to become. Just look at Disney when they adapt their cartoons into live-action. Following the conclusion of the original series, a sequel named Avatar: The Legend Of Korra aired between April 2012 and December 2014. But you never know when things go live-action. I just hope the creators stick to that origin story. I mean, that is a key point to Aang’s origin as to why he’s still a child when Sokka and Katara find him. Again, having the two creators working so closely with the project makes me believe that Aang will be stuck in a chunk of ice and that he will be discovered by Sokka and Katara. But I don’t know, I just have this feeling that the show’s two creators might be hesitant to hold things back after seeing the movie version crash and burn so terribly. I've seen images of Aang with Appa in the Water Nation, so the new show will most likely start the way the old show began. This kind of goes hand-in-hand with my last concern, but I don’t want this show to rush things. Lastly, this might feel like a small thing, but I really feel that the story must start off with Sokka and Katara discovering Aang. I feel like with the show being able to stretch its legs, it shouldn’t be a problem fitting in everybody’s favorite characters in some point of the story. Not only that, but I also want to see some of the ancillary characters, too, like King Bumi, and of course the Cabbage Merchant.
One major problem with the movie (besides the fact that some of the characters' names weren’t even pronounced correctly) was that we didn’t even get to see Toph since she appeared in Book 2 of the series, and the movie only covered Book 1 territory.īut with this show being a Netflix series, I am saying that it needs to be mandatory that we get all of the key characters at at least some point. I’m not saying that all the core characters need to be there in the very first season (more on that in a few), but I am saying that all of our favorite characters-Aang, Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Appa, Momo, Uncle Iroh, and for the love of God, Toph Beifong-need to be in the show at at least some point. I just don’t want the Netflix version to try to be all serious and miss that crucial aspect of the show-that Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series that is all about hope.
Yes, the conflict definitely got real at times, especially when Aang was forced to go into his Avatar state, but it never got to the point that you didn’t think the heroes would come out okay in the end.Įven Zuko, who seemed to have the most hopeless chances of happiness, eventually showed that even the most brow-beaten, discouraged character could find hope at the end of the journey. A lot of this is attributed to the various conflicts the characters had to go through in the story. But given that this is live-action and Netflix, one thing that I feel needs to get retained from the animated series is hope. In fact, I’m one of the few apologists of the movie who will say that it got a lot more right than it got wrong when it comes to the series. I’m not saying that the movie-version of Avatar: The Last Airbender was hopeless. There’s still lots to learn about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but it's coming at a pretty good time for the series as the first of four new Avatar sequels is slated to release in 2022.
