watched avatar last airbender with the grandkids the past month and everyone loved, Korra wasn't as big a hit though. too serious, romancy, and Korra is too much of an angsty teenager to be a fun character. We took a break at s3, nobody wants to keep going lol
hopefully the next series skews back younger instead of going older

Avatars generally have a long life. Aang got shortchanged because he spent a century frozen in the ice, but most them live to be ~150+. This makes sense given the whole ~20+ years training before they can take on their role. If they only lived to 60 or so then your have 1/3 of human history Avatar-less.
Of course Korra could die early due to getting killed versus passing from natural causes, and she's also the re-start of a new Avatar cycle having had her previous lives lost in the whole spirit mess, so there is wiggle room for sure.
I would still expect the Earth Avatar to show up in a more futuristic space-borne setting where having a mystic representation of Earth is seen as anachronisticly jarring compared to people flying around in outer space / colonizing the moon etc. I would also expect to see some sort of resolution to the whole bender vs non-bender aspects of their society. Are there lots more benders now, potentially ones whose powers are enriched by the spirits and aligned to more than the 4 elements or have benders been relegated to Mutants and subject to persecution?
There's a lot to work with either way.

fire nation looks awesome. water nation is kinda ehhh, but i'm sure it'll be fine. Ang is a little youngish but he was goofy as fuck in season 1 animated so it makes sense.
visuals are really, really good reminds me of One Piece how it captures the essence of the show style.

WELL ang looks age appropriate ~15ish year old range.
effects look good for the most part,
The Kioshi Warriors look AWESOME almost perfect from the original cartoon.
now if they follow the story line from the original- mostly- it will rock, appa and the momo look kinda wonky.

People should really temper their expectations. A LOT. I've loved the IP ever since Uhvatar first came out but live action adaptations and Netflix both have terrible track records.
If people want to bring up One Piece as a comparison, I'll counter with Eiichiro Oda being actively involved with the project and supposedly being the driving force behind the show being as faithful as possible to the source material. Uhvatar's creators bailed on this project over 3 years ago.

Well, looks good enough to at least give it a shot. The guy they got for Iroh looks the part, but going to take a powerfully good actor to turn Mako's performance into something worthy.
