Episode 50 - Don’t Call it a Reincarnation The Avatar Returns

    • TV & Film

Team The Avatar Returns has been missing, locked in an iceberg of our own making for the past four years. Before we vanished, Netflix had announced it’s then-still-distant live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and we had only just begun speculating on what might justify the existence of another adaptation, and how it could possibly top the 2010 Shyamalan film. Well that adaptation has arrived, like a comet of doom, and we have been pulled back into the world to discuss the consequences. In this episode we shake off the cobwebs, try to remember what it was like to make podcasts, talk about what we’re expecting from the new show, and set the stage for our upcoming deep dive into the 8-episode first season of Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. 
 
By the end of the episode we’ve wandered into Star Wars and comic book discussions, and we uncover negative comments on our PAST podcast discussions, which always makes me feel good. We’re kind of a mess…which may turn out to be appropriate.
 
NEXT: let the genocide begin! We kick off our discussion of Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender with episodes 101, “Aang” and 102, “Warriors.”
