I'm worried about this for obvious reasons, but I'll be damned if the trailer, and the director's breakdown of said trailer, don't make me a bit optimistic. The fact that the director is Reitman's son is also a good sign. Again, I'm worried because I know how Hollyweird likes to shit up old franchises, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Anyone else have hopes or concerns?

Not going to bother even googling the trailer. There is no need. All big budget western media made after Avatar: The Last Airbender, is poison.
On top of that, I am convinced that the only reason The Last Airbender slipped through the cracks is because there are no white people in it.
Even the CCP produces better media than hollywood now.
Do you have a year you generally don’t cross? I’ve reached the point where I stay away from stuff after 2014. Only two exceptions are Yellowstone and Better Call Saul
"Generally" I don't cross 1999. Of course, there are good things made well into the 2000's, but they make smaller and smaller percentage of each year's collective output.
The only post 2014 movie I've enjoyed is Zootopia, and that's because while its surface-level story is a typical lefty wet dream, the more attention you pay to the worldbuilding, the more hopelessly detached from reality that lefty wet dream is. I don't know if this is intentional on the part of someone in deep cover in the writer's room, or if my enjoyment of the movie is fully ironic.
I can understand. What is funny now that I’m 40 is that shows my parents or grandparents would watch that I thought were corny like the Walton’s, little house on the prairie, or Leave It to Beaver are shows I watch a lot now. So nice to see a show where the traditional family isn’t denigrated.
Zootopia is only half lefty wet dream. After all, Judy's whole story is learning not to judge a group of people by the actions of their ancestors. That's a lesson feminists and BLM could use.
2014 seems accurate. 2 years for preparing propaganda for the 2016 elections.
The bitch in Better Call Saul hates white people. She said as much on her social media.
Which one? Saul’s girlfriend? Man that sucks!
Kim Wexler. I used to follow her on social media and all she did was bitch about how white people suck and have had their time and niggers should kill them.
I was going to say Black Panther was incredibly based if you actually paid attention to it but no, no you might be on to something here.
