JAKARTA - The live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender was picked up from the popular animated series of the same name as Nickelodeon, the audience will be invited to follow the story of Aang, a young Avatar, as his efforts control four elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Air) to restore the world's balance which is threatened by the presence of a terrible Fire Country.
The four countries, namely Air, Earth, Fire, and Air, previously lived together in harmony. Avatars, the rulers of the four elements, maintain peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Country attacked and removed the Airmen, their first step in order to rule the world.
Avatars are inspired by various folklore, culture, and Asian legends as well as natives. Serious topics such as war, colonialism, trauma, and morals make this story have deep and inspiring value. The live action version series departs from the original animation and has additions such as duration, storyline, and related narrative.
"The main theorems in this series are not paying attention to various differences, overcoming feelings of pessimism and despair, and trying to find hope," explained producer/author Albert Kim. I think these themes are universal and in accordance with our times.
Various characters in this series have a strong personality and, interestingly, there is character development so that the audience can truly feel through this story with them. This answer, for example, looks humorous but also has a fragile side related to his past. Aang the 12-year-old is considered to be the one who will save the world, and this responsibility feels very heavy for someone who only wants to be an ordinary child.
What is no less important is the inclusiveness and representation of this series, as stated by the role of Kiawentio.
"When I grew up and watched the animated series, I was very interested in the character of Katara because I seemed to be able to see myself on television. The representation at that time was not what it is now and I am very happy to have a very cool and strong role model like him," he said.

"And now I can play that character for the other little girls, something that makes me very touched."
The World of Avatar: The Last Airbender consists of four countries, each of which symbolizes a fundamental element, namely the Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Country of Fire, and Air Economy. A number of members of the country can manipulate elements thanks to powers known as benting'.
This force can be used for daily and combat purposes and is the main attraction thanks to its extraordinary ability to mobilize natural elements.
The beauty of each country is also an element that will spoil the eyes of the audience. Executive director/producer Jabbar Raisani explained that this series combines a number of real sets that are very large with an extension of the amazing visual effects.
