The weird thing about the live action Last Airbender is that it felt like an abridged cartoon Airbender. If you hadn’t watched the original, so much would just fly straight over your head.
Like, at that point, why even do the original story? Just make an actual sequel / spin-off / whatever. There’s tons of additional Avatar material in comic books they’ve been putting out since… what? 2011?
Same thing with Star Wars. LucasArts and Disney churned out crap for so long. The stubborn refusal to license the Timmothy Zhan novels and make them into a show/movie is baffling.

New = risky, gross
Old = bankable, yey
