on Twitter.

"I'm still skeptica🌸l but seeing how visually stunning it looks gives me actual hope that it won't be a trash-fire. Never a replacement for the original of course, but could actually stand on its own as an adaptation," another wrote on .

Another Avatar fan said, "The way the characters in Avatar look and sound here... it looks like they did 👍well. Sokka looks and acts likeable. Katara's laugh brought a smile to my face. Aang yeeting himself into a statue made me giggle. It's very poꦇssible they nailed this."

Others were pleasantly surprised at how accurate the Netflix version appears at first g⭕lance. 

"Th🐈e music, the accurate depiction of nations, and they say Aang properly?! This might be too good to be true,” one . Another , “ꩲAvatar for Netflix looks so pure and accurate to the source."
