Avatar is all over the headlines right now, and well – we have two franchises to thank. Soon, James Cameron will revive his critically acclaimed Avatar IP as its sequel heads to theaters, and reviews for the feature are stellar so far. On the other hand, Nickelodeon is living large with Avatar: The Last Airbender as it has new animated projects in the works. And now, it seems an executive on the latter IP is owning up to how Cameron's Avatar impacted Aang's journey.
Avatar vs Avatar"In 2004 we learned that we had to change the name of our show from"Avatar" to"Avatar the Last Airbender" because James Cameron already had the rights to a movie called Avatar. Now the sequel is called"The Way of Water." If part 3 is called"The Firebending Masters" we riot," Volpe said.
Continuing, the director went on to comment on how the show's title was changed in various markets across the globe."I've always wondered why they slightly change show titles in different countries. I think it's marketing teams wondering if it'll be more popular with a different name."The Last Airbender" is kind of an abstract concept until you've watched the show.
We claim Aang and the GAang, not those unrealistic blue people
The Last Airbender was trash af anyway
and it still became THE Avatar
One is a great story with great characters in a well made world. The other one is a CGI montage
Bruh....deadass?
Avatar is better than any MCU movie. Don’t me you Marvel weirdos.
The OG changing its name makes no sense.
We love you aang don’t let them people silence you!🫶🏽
There's only one Avatar
piratear a história dos bichos azuis
Aang the avatar bitch
James Cameron should rest 😂😂 no one cares about his Avatar, a lot of us only watched it because we thought it was the CGI version of Avatar: The last air bender
Always Americans
What bullshit is this when Avatar the last Airbender actually came first?
Which doesn't matter because Avatar The last Airbender still came out first and existed first and is literally the first thing people think of when they hear the name 'Avatar'
It’s clear ppl aren’t aware who James C. is and how actually big this movie was. He wanted to make this movie before the show was thought of but bc of technology at the time he had to wait and produced another movie. This man is a ledge down and his movies are beautiful.
Cool let theses franchise live like wtf its doesnt matter
Why tf didn’t they just make it something else, I hate ALWAYS having to say which avatar I’m talking about when I say avatar. They really had the option to fix it and chose not to? Annoying asf
The show literally came out before the blue people shit
Dont nobody recognize them giant smurfs as Avatar. Aang is the Avatar.
Never watched this long ass shitty film
electric chair, the last airbender is iconic and came first
Maybe, but there’s a reason we refer to it as “James Cameron’s Avatar” and not just “Avatar”
Aang clears blue Christopher Columbus
Tbh I thought it was always “The Last Airbender”
I've seen this twice recently, and it isn't new information. They said that when the live action movie came out
Wow I would have never guessed.
Comment for algo
Yeah, this was already known when the M. Night Shyamalan live action came out and it was just called The Last Airbender. The creators said it was specifically because of James Cameron. This is really old news.
Why are people so weird about this information
Yeah i remember this was mentioned years ago.
One has one of the best world building in any media and has iconic characters that you will remember forever... and the other has blue people
Aang is the only Avatar
Crazy how ATLA is clear of that mid ass movie anyways
He is so petty.
Cool, but can the Na'vi do this?
Avatar 2009 better, AvatarTheWayOfWater in theatres December 16th.
Crazy how ATLA is still infinitely better.
when i hear avatar i think of aang
We know Aang we don’t know them blue people
Crazy how the cartoon is better
Want avatar the last Airbender a show wayyy before Avatar?...
