When Zuko locates the Southern Water Tribe village where Aang had been, he demands the Avatar be surrendered to him. They accidentally set off an explosion in the ship, which alerts Zuko to the village. While exploring an abandoned Fire Nation ship, Katara tells Aang about the war that had been going on for the past hundred years. Meanwhile, Zuko, the banished Prince of the Fire Nation, is patrolling the seas in search of the Avatar. The Avatar is reincarnated generation after generation and would be the only one who could prevent the Fire Nation from conquering all the nations, which is the reason why the Fire Nation started the war. Later, he reluctantly reveals that he is also the Avatar, the only person with the power to manipulate all four elements. After freeing him, they discover that Aang is an Airbender, a race of people assumed to have died out a hundred years before. Even The Last Airbender's problems - a highlight reel of lessons for future adaptations - have laid the groundwork for what could become the greatest Avatar: The Last Airbenderstory ever told.While fishing, Sokka and Katara discover Aang and his flying bison, Appa, icebound floating on the sea. By combining long-term storytelling with live-action elements, Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender show has all the elements needed to do justice to the source material, possibly even becoming a more relatable and better version of the original cartoon - depending on the performance of its actors. Indeed, the Netflix adaptation has the distinct advantage of fleshing out Avatar's lore and story through the series format, which is much more appropriate for a story like Avatar Aang's journey.

Furthermore, the details revealed by Netflix indicate that, although there will be departures from the original story, it will largely stay faithful to the animated series. In fact, showrunners already avoided Shyamalan's whitewashing controversy based on Netflix's Avatar cast, which most notably features Gordon Cormier as Avatar Aang, Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara, and Daniel Dae Kim as Firelord Ozai.

While it seems that even Shyamalan is uninterested in pursuing The Last Airbender 2, the good news for long-time viewers of the franchise is that Netflix's live-action Avatar adaptation seems to be the most promising take on the lore.
