The setup , for those who did n’t watch the 2005 Nickelodeon animated series , run something like this : in a earth where people verify one of the four elements — water , earth , fire , or air travel — the Avatar has the power to hold all of them . One hundred years after the Fire Nation has effectively conquered the public , an Air Nomad kid named Aang ( Gordon Cormier ) is find out by Katara ( Kiawentiio ) and Sokka ( Ian Ousley ) , a pair of Water Tribe kids who soon realize they ’ve made friends with the Avatar .

Avatar was previouslyadapted in 2010by M. Night Shyamalan and was … kind of a pot ! The fear of a repeat hangs over this new adaptation , which hails from Sleepy Hollow and Nikita showrunner Albert Kim .
