I'm not really interested in watching this comedy series unless M. Night is involved.
Bunch of grown men in here talking about cartoons
Embarrassing to say the least
The medium doesn't matter, it's how well the story is told.
A comic book won the Pulitzer Prize.

This is an MMA forum right?
Don't make me take off my affliction tshirt
The Watchman is definitely not a kids cartoon
I see where you are trying to go here but I don't agree.
Hope they pull it off better than the terrible M. Night movie version. The animated series was one of the best cartoons ever made and it deserved a better live-action adaptation.
Pls don't suck pls don't suck pls don't suck pls don't suck...
But I'm very worried that the animated series creators are no longer part of this project.
I'm up for it.
I'd rather they pick up the story where it left off in the old show.

In short, creative differences. Here's the article from Aug. 12, 2020:Did they say why they left? Maybe their work was done and they were no longer needed?
In short, creative differences. Here's the article from Aug. 12, 2020:

Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko said in separate statements Wednesday that they came to believe their creative vision for the show wasn’t being supported. The show, which Netflix ordered in 2018, is still in development at the streamer.
“When Bryan and I signed on to the project in 2018, we were hired as executive producers and showrunners,” DiMartino wrote on his website. “In a joint announcement for the series, Netflix said that it was committed to honoring our vision for this retelling and to supporting us on creating the series. And we expressed how excited we were for the opportunity to be at the helm. Unfortunately, things did not go as we had hoped.”
In his own statement on Instagram, Konitetzko wrote that “there was no follow-through” on Netflix’s pledge to support the creators’ vision for the live-action show. “The general handling of the project created what I felt was a negative and nonsupportive environment,” he said, adding: “To be clear, this was not a simple matter of us not getting our way. Mike and I are collaborative people; we did not need all the ideas to come from us. As long as we felt those ideas were in line with the spirit and integrity of Avatar, we would have happily embraced them. However, we ultimately came to the belief that we would not be able to meaningfully guide the direction of the series.”
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that there were creative differences between DiMartino and Konietzko, Netflix and other creatives throughout the development process over how to adapt the animated series to live action. Those differences ultimately led to the creators’ departure.
