My wife has a theory about why the creators of Avatar might have left this new live-action show, and it all connects to one of her favorite book series, Anne of Green Gables.
And so is Avatar: The Last Airbender, which my wife thinks Netflix might have wanted to make much “darker” than the cartoon.
You see, Netflix actually once had an Anne of Green Gables series called Anne With an E, but as somebody who has also read the Anne novels, I remember walking into the room one day when my wife was watching it, and I was like, “What is this?”
And she told me, “It’s Anne of Green Gables, but like, much darker.”
