'Avatar: The Last Airbender' fans were excited when they found 'Avatar 2' was trending on Twitter. Unfortunately, they weren't pleased when they realized it wasn't for the show. Instead, it was related to the big build-up to James Cameron's epic sequel to the first film, which was the highest-grossing film in Hollywood till 'Avengers: Endgame' unseated it from its throne. Nevertheless, fans of the animated show tweeted that they couldn't care less about the sequel, and the next time 'Avatar' trends, "it better be for the sequel".

Netflix had brought much joy to fans when it released the show on the platform, as fans began to relive the good old days again. There's good news for fans because Netflix has signed Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko to develop a live-action series based on 'The Last Airbender'. This is a crucial step for the creative team that had wanted to work on the live version of the story. "We're thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can't wait to realize Aang's world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It's a once in a lifetime chance to build upon everyone's great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building," they said in a statement.

Coming back to 'Avatar 2', here are some of the funniest tweets from miffed fans. "Avatar 2 is trending and its the wrong Avatar smh wake me up when they animate these I'd love to see the search with Zuko for his mom #AvatarTheLastAirbender," a fan wrote. "Saw Avatar 2 trending and it’s about them blue aliens and not about Aang," a fan tweeted. "The next time I see Avatar 2 trending, it better be the Gaang grown up in their 20s looking like this," a fan wrote. "Avatar 2? Y’all talking about the wrong Avatar," a fan tweeted. "This is the only Avatar 2 I will accept," a fan wrote, sharing pictures of the animated show.

"Don't care about the blue freaks," another tweeted. However, another fan defended Cameron's film and wrote, "The fact that y’all can’t admit that Avatar is good makes me wonder- did y’all even watch it? Avatar 2 is gonna be so good." Another said, "People out here complaining about getting a new avatar the last airbender series and y'all got the legend of korra and didn't appreciate it. So let the Avatar 2 movie by James Cameron get its shine cause they been working hard for it."
