Avatar: The Last Airbender Retrospective Gallery On The Latest Netflix News
By now you’ve probably seen the recent news that the original creators of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender have dropped out of participating in the planned Netflix live-action adaptation. Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko made the announcement earlier this week and fans around the globe had their hopes that this adaptation wouldn’t turn into another Death Note crushed.
In a letter posted to his website, DiMartino said about the collaboration with the Netflix development team that “Unfortunately, things did not go as we had hoped.” Not very encouraging words, to a fan base already struggling with the after effects of the only other live-action adaptation, the cursed M. Night Shyamalan movie version.
I’ve been taking pictures of cosplayers as characters from both ATLA and The Legend of Korra almost since I started shooting cosplay in 2010. The first cosplay in the fandom I photographed is the solo Suki in full Kyoshi Warrior regalia in this gallery, taken at GraniteCon in Manchester, N.H., in 2011. And while the gallery is loaded up with 68 images, I could have tripled that if I included photos of characters from Korra. Since that sequel series launched in 2012, right when I started really getting into cosplay photography, it makes sense that I’ve taken many more photos from Korra than from ATLA.
But, the news is about an ATLA adaptation and Korra is very much its own thing, so I decided to stick with cosplay from the original series.
Cosplays in this gallery include uncleiroh1, gracedbycosplay, armariacosplay, turnfolio, andersthepirate, strictlycosplay, Night Shy Cosplay, emu.cabbage.cosplay (the siblings in the link photo below), moultonrock179 (the feature image above), spectravita, iameenae, jiro-sensei, happyacorncosplay, blueelectracosplay, kayligatorcosplay, Wolf Dreamer Cosplay, CiaoBirdie Cosplay, and many more.
We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
