A live-action adaptation of the beloved tv-series Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Netflix and most fans can't decide whether to be excited or not after the disastrous film of the same title that plummeted in critic and audiences reviews as one of the worst adaptations ever made.
It is hard to believe that a live adaptation of Avatar could offer anything better than the original series, given that its superb animation, plot development, and three-dimensional characters have gained the series a spot among the best tv series of all time. As such, it could only be expected for it to have one of the best-rated finales on IMDb, like other extraordinary series that are remembered for their unforgettable closures.
