Though i would agree that the end was perfect, i do think it was well done and that there is a risk of ruining what has been achieved with the GAang

Thats why i would like to see a continuation of the universe. There's alot more the creator's can do with the show. It doesnt even have to have the Avatar as the main, and/or good, character. I'd think be interesting to see a series and/or animated movie series about the main character's fighting back against an oppressive Avatar who is imposing his/her own views of peace.

And there's a long history of live action movies based on animated series that ended up being crap.

Well thats indepth

No MY issue is that you are condensing a 62 episode show into three films!!! There are things from a series u cant bring to a movie, like character development spanning 62 EPISODES!, unless u make some significant changes to plot and/or characters. I DO NOT TRUST M Night to do this AT ALLLLLLL. A better director probably could pull it off (Peter Jackson did amazing job with LotR) The movie itself will probably end up being kid fluff and thats it

what made the series fantastic was that there was alot of depth and realism in the characters and the series was written in such a way that even older viewers, like myself, can enjoy it. Things that also work in animation do not work in real life- its going to be interesting to see if anyone buys Aang getting with katara in movies

I would have increase ages of all the characters to be in their late teens (15 +) so as there is believability in them fighting soldiers and dealing with issues that are transfered from the series. And yes kids would still like it! they do not have to have every character turned into a child so that they can relate to them (Im looking at YOU Ironbaby Armoured Adventures)

IFFFFFF the movie had been about a NEW avatar then they would have had free reign and added something new to the Avatar universe. Instead be prepared for another Golden Compass

Its not introducing the series to a wider audience, its introducing them to the story of Avatar and the characters. How new comers would get confused between something they've never seen and the film doesnt make sense. More likely they'll view the movie, and if it just jams in episode plots of season into 2 hours (prob less seeing as they are marketing to kids), they will not like it. More likely it'll piss off fans if the movie makes no coherent sense and has bad acting (another reason to go for an older cast), resulting in bastardisation of the show. It just makes more sense to to do something new where u arent limited. Something different could please almost all fans (no one could complain that the plot or characters are not the same) and newcomers will have another whole story to discover when checking out the series.

The characters arent going to even BE the same age by time they are up movie 3, Aang most likely be 16 or 17 by then if they stick with same kid. You change ALOT in your Teenage years. Katara, using time difference, would be 18 or 19. Kataang be weirder if its less time and is 15 and 17. Girls by that point are fully matured, but guys can still be undeveloped (feel the pedo vibe

lol)

As a adaptation, and a potential cash-cow for studio, im suprised they're limiting this to 3 movies actually. You defintitely have more than 3 arcs in the show. *** S1 can be condensed into One film, there's alot of stand alone episodes that can be removed (thou unfortunate because there's some cool ones). *** Season 2 should be 2 movies - 1st Getting to Ba Sing Sei with Azula chasing traitors Iroh and Zuko (removing chasing Gaang so Azula meets Aang in Drill as last act), Toph + training. 2nd being Conspiracy of Dailee and Azula taking over.

*** Season 3 would be Day of Black Sun (ALOT u can remove from start of S3) and a seperate film for Sozins comet. Together you have 5 films

**** HOWEVER i imagine (and this does work well) they are going to remove the Eclipse, library and Appa being stolen, most likely have ZUko join the Gaang at end of movie 2 with big fight with Azula. THis leads directly into Sozins comet. In fact drill will prob also be gone (and getting into serious surgery on interesting S2 arc *tear*) and probably also will be the conspiracy. ORRRR they remove everything B4 Ba Sing and have Gaang arrive there at start and meet Toph there. Zuko either start by being in city or almost be captured by Azula and then going to city. There is ALOT of gold getting chopped

but only way work as 3 films. How they're going to fit training is question. I imagine take place of screen alot eg 3rd movie picks up weeks later (like S2 to S3) and Aang has already had training by ZUko. I can imagine one of Aang's first scenes being him in middle of training and Zuko teaching him (with SOkka noting fact that guy who was hunting them is now helping them).
