@crxssed Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino were involved as creators for Avatar and Legend of Korra, and are involved in all other related productions as either Producers, Executive Producers, or Writers... this production is no different... they are all Nickelodeon productions... judging by the fact that you have not waited to get the full information, and chose to comment first... I don't have high hopes for you, either... not that you asked...

@chandramohan-kannan https://www.instagram.com/p/CDy5EcgDELh/ You're wrong. This is very much a Netflix production not Nickelodeon. Maybe double check your info before you go around assuming things. I have known about this series for years, being a fan of the original cartoons.<br /> <br /> That being said, I'll give you the benefit of doubt. You're probably thinking of Avatar Studios which _is_ a Nickelodeon studio lead by the original creators. It has nothing to do with this Netflix-lead production. That, I have high hopes for.

@crxssed well, I am a fan of the original cartoon as well... and I see the insta you have shared (thanks for it)... but the fact remains that they were both given writing and teleplay credits... which is the second ending credit after mentioning that the director is Michael Goi... secondly, right at the beginning, it says in a prominent font that this is "A Netflix Series", followed by "In Partnership with Nickelodeon"... I don't mind giving you the exact timing on each episode... but considering that it is not that hard to find, I'll pass...<br /> <br /> On a different note, M. Night Shyamalan's movie might have been made by Paramount in the same vein that this was produced by Netflix... but every character and derivative of them is the intellectual property of Nickelodeon and there is no way they are not involved in the production... it is the same way that Marvel, might choose to lease out Spiderman to Sony and X-Men to 20th Century Fox... but they are always involved in the production, and it always begins with the Marvel Showcase, irrespective of who currently owns right to some of their characters...<br /> <br /> That said, since you gave me the benefit of the doubt; I will return the favour in kind... I have known several contributors across the spectrum of every industry (especially the entertainment industry), where people who perceive that they got a bad deal, pretend not to have anything to do with their work, despite having contributed and getting paid for the same... I don't expect this scenario to be any different... and that doesn't tarnish the respect I have for Bryan and Michael one wee bit... personally, I was involved in a couple of instances/transactions where I was part of a team that adapted a book to the screen... and the original authors, decided to walk out of the project after the first screening, before the post-production began because they claimed to not see their vision out there... but it was essentially a disagreement that cropped up, after their involvement in screenplay, and being paid for it... on most of these cases the production houses do nothing to correct them, for the fear of incurring additional bad publicity, and they keep quite... I wouldn't be too surprised if that were the case here as well... also I might be entirely wrong on that specific account...<br /> <br /> Regardless, I have just watched the first episode... and I am not too disheartened by the adaptation... given that the original was so loved, it is always going to be difficult to measure up to it... especially if someone has already seen it... but whatever little I have seen at this moment, isn't bad...
