Critics and fans are divided on the new series, with some praising its cast and visuals, while others lament the loss of the original's charm.

Netflix's live-action adaptation of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' garners mixed reactions, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 63% from critics and nearly 80% from audiences.
Critics commend the series for its diverse casting and improved visuals over the 2010 film, but many feel it fails to capture the heart of the original animated series.
The adaptation's changes, including a less sexist portrayal of Sokka and a darker tone, have sparked debate among fans and reviewers.
