A positive review from Consequence critic Jonah Krueger states: “Is it as good as the original series? Not really, but would it ever be? The more important question is this: Did it make sense to undertake such a project? The answer is a resounding yes. Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender is more than just enjoyable, offering an entertaining mix of nostalgia and new ideas, combining the novelty of seeing elemental bending in “real life” with the excitement of an evolving, worthwhile story. Come for the eye-catching adaptation of your favorite fight scene and stay for a new take on the story that once captured your heart.
A negative review by AV Club critic Jenna Sherer states: “Ultimately, it's hard to say who exactly this version of Avatar is intended for. Fans of the original will be disappointed by the series' charmless, eerie portrayal of the world they see and love. Newcomers may generally be put off. There's an argument for live-action versions of popular animated series; One Piece from Netflix, for example, is an exuberant remix of the classic anime that relishes its cartoon character. “Avatar: The Last Airbender” tries so hard to carry the weight of its legacy that it ends up sweating.
