Netflix’s Avatar is a failure because it doesn’t understand why animation even works There’s just a lot that animation can do that live-action can’t. Image credit:Netflix/ Nickelodeon I definitely think it would be a little bit silly, and certainly an over-exaggeration, to say that the original animated Avatar: The Last Airbender is a perfect show.
