The Last Master of False Connections! 12 mistakes in TV series, movie and anime Avatar

The attempt was wrong in 1997: the fifth element is not love, but the power of the wrong connection! And AlloCiné’s technical specialists, Michel & Michel, show against the fighters of air, water, fire and earth that they really are the ultimate masters of glitches and mistakes in movies. And in this case in the series and in the anime, starting this week they will share with you the failures of three adaptations of the adventures of Aang and his companions.

Avatar is first and foremost an anime

It is under the American banner of Nickelodeon Productions that Aang and his companions descend into pop culture. Running for three seasons and sixty-one episodes from 2005 to 2008, Avatar the Last Airbender was a viewer and critical success at the time, with generally very positive reviews.

Then a (bad) movie

In 2010, after discovering the animated series thanks to his daughter, M. Night Shyamalan began a film adaptation project. With the title avatar removed to avoid confusion with James Cameron’s universe. So it’s titled The Last Airbender, or The last pilot In the original version, four people of the elements appear on the big screen. With respectable results at the box office (1,184,473 releases in France, $319 million worldwide), but a disastrous public and critical reception (1.9 out of 5 according to the press, 2.1 out of 5 according to viewers on AlloCiné), which destroys franchise. ambitions.

Then the Netflix live series

We’ll have to wait until 2024 for Aang, Zuko, Katara, and Sokka to regain their live-action honors. In line with the success of One Piece’s transposition, the platform signs Avatar, the Last Airbender to a new success in terms of viewing (Season 1 ranked first in 93 countries in its launch week), accompanied by a warm reception from fans (the show is rated 4 out of 5 by AlloCiné on). It’s enough to make me impatient for the second season already…

It’s heavy, very heavy!

Therefore, this world and its three adaptations of Michel and Michel will be revisited this week at Faux Raccord. With meatballs you probably didn’t see at first glance…
