Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender’s live-action adaptation has recently started the casting call for one of the most important characters in the series. This casting call is for Toph, the upcoming member of Team Avatar and one of the strongest Earth benders in the entire series. Fans are truly excited to see who will play Toph in the series.

Toph is one of the most popular characters in the series; she is not only a valuable member of Team Avatar, but she also teaches him her unique style of earth bending that she learned from the badger moles to make up for her blindness. Toph plays a big role in the series, but she is not always liked by her teammates.

The open casting call for Toph in Netflix’s second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender is making some lovely headlines in the tabloids. Additionally, they’re pioneering inclusivity by encouraging blind or low-vision actors for Toph’s role.
With Season 1 debuting to a torrent of excitement & securing a renewal for additional seasons, this live-action adaptation of the beloved 2005 Nickelodeon series continues to spark conversations—albeit with some trepidation from fans. Remember how Toph’s original character enthralled us with her wit, and, of course, her prodigious earthbending prowess at just 12 years old?

Now, the show’s vision of a “mid-late teen” Toph has spurred a sense of protectiveness amongst die-hard fans. Could this new portrayal of the sassy, confident, and unfiltered Toph—with dance or martial arts skills as a delightful bonus—reshape our perceptions & expectations of the iconic character?...

Legacy U.S. shows such as The Office and Friends remain popular in Asia, but interest in American content is on the wane in the region, a new study shows.
Media Partners Asia (MPA)’s latest report show U.S. content maintained a lead among SVOD users, with 60% viewing it in Q1 of 2024, ahead of Korean titles (56%) and Japanese originals (48%). However, the figure for U.S. content was 70% two years ago in the same period, highlighting how local content, especially in Korea and Japan, are driving viewing.
Notably, in Korea, engagement with U.S. content was just 9%. In Japan, it was 11%. Conversely, engagement was up at 69% in English-speaking Australia and relatively strong in Southeast Asia (32%). Despite the low engagement, MPA Lead Analyst Dhivya T said that “even in highly local markets such as Korea, Japan and Indonesia, U.S. content drove 15-30% of SVOD customer acquisition.”

Even in challenged times, no national entertainment industry can flex quite like Hollywood. According to new research from regional advisory group Media Partners Asia, U.S. films and series remain the most important content category for global streamers when it comes to customer acquisition and engagement across the Asia Pacific region — regardless of the way platforms continue to ramp up their local-language offerings in these territories.
In the first quarter of 2024, U.S. content was viewed by 60 percent of subscription video users in nine major markets — Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand — outperforming Korean titles (at 56 percent) and Japanese content (48 percent), according to new research from regional analysts Media Partners Asia (MPA). The report’s authors noted, however, that U.S. content’s reach has begun to wane in recent years.

U.S-produced film and TV content has maintained leadership in terms of reach among Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) users in nine major markets in Asia-Pacific. And it remains important for acquiring and maintaining subscriptions, a new report finds.
New research from consultancy firm Media Partners Asia is based on passively-collected data from 40,000 digital users amassed by its Ampd sister company. Territories covered include Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand, from May 2023 to April 2024.
American content was viewed by 60% of the monitored users in the first quarter of this year. That put it ahead of Korean shows, watched by 56% in the region, and Japanese, watched by 48%.
But the U.S. content viewership number is down from 70% two years ago. And figures vary significantly, with 69% watching in Australia and Southeast Asia, where its viewership is 32%. But in the rich and populous East Asian markets of Japan and Korea, viewership...

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most impactful anime for any hardcore fan’s childhood. Out of the many anime responsible for pushing people to tears, Hideaki Anno’s masterpiece stands on a pedestal of its own. The many lives it enamored and the fans that found themselves growing up with the anime also hold it close to their heart.

For those who found it inspiring, there were ways in which they added references or incorporated ideas that brought about even widespread projects. From Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim to the subtle similarities of Kong: Skull Island, tidbits of the anime and manga can be found all over the world. One of the most renowned works of animation, Avatar: The Last Airbender also happens to find inspiration from Anno’s work.

Daniel Dae Kim has starred in many well-known projects over the years. While he has been a part of several successful films and shows, he has gotten the most attention for playing the role of Fire Lord Ozai in the live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Outside of the Netflix series, he was also a recurring character in the ABC series, Lost.

He also touched on aspects of race and how those kinds of prejudices affected his character’s entire run.

Netflix has included another animated series in its catalog and this time, and this time it’s the rebirth of an extremely nostalgic franchise, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. Lara Croft has been an insanely popular character and she deserves all kinds of adaptations.
However, the recent animated series teased by Netflix has received some criticism due to its Japanese-inspired art style. While it looks good and has good action scenes, you can’t help but shake off the feeling that it is trying to imitate anime.

Fantasy is the genre that we all love most as kids and then after growing up with it we kind of love immersing ourselves into a magical world filled with dragons and bands of heroes. While all fantasy shows are not as earnest and hopeful as they were during our childhood, they still provide us with an escape into a world filled with wonder. So, we thought of making a list of the best fantasy shows you can with your Prime Video subscription.
Merlin
Merlin is a British fantasy adventure series created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Johnny Capps, and Julian Murphy. Loosely based on the Arthurian Legends, the BBC One series follows the story of a young Merlin as he heads to Camelot to live with the court physician Gaius.

The possibility of a prominent anime or manga series being developed into a live-action adaptation has increased tenfold since the consecutive success of live-action adaptations of One Piece and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Now every fan wants his favorite series to get a live-action adaptation to find out what it would look like in the real world.

A similar instance occurred when a fan account for Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man posted a tweet stating that they had found the right actor to portray the role of Denji, the series’ protagonist if a live-action version of Chainsaw Man was ever made. The actor who fits the description of Denji is none other than Evan Peters, who played the role of Quicksilver in the Marvel Universe.

This past season of hit shows was heavily dominated by the CBS network, with multiple series like Tracker and Elsbeth making headlines across the television airways.
Ghosts is definitely in good company. There are so many great shows to watch back to back, especially with so many series on hiatus now that we're entering the summer months.
Season 3 of this whimsically funny show has come and gone, and viewers are likely already chomping at the bit for the next season—and we don't blame them after that epic cliffhanger in the finale.
What is Ghosts about?
The series revolves around Sam and Jay, a married couple from NYC who learn that Sam's late great-aunt recently passed away. Since Sam is the last living heir, she inherits her aunt's big countryside mansion.
Filled with hope for a new life, the couple moves in to renovate the home into a B&b business.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has a slew of likable characters, of which General Iroh of the Fire Nation remains one of the most beloved characters among the fans of the show. Working as a foil for Prince Zuko in the narrative, Iroh is one of the most powerful characters in the show and was a former general of the Fire Nation.
General Iroh and Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender | Nickelodeon
Despite being one of the strongest characters in the show, Iroh is always depicted in a jovial mood, never angry or agitated (unless the situation calls for it), the character is often the voice of calm and reason wherever a situation gets too tense. However, the character was almost nothing like how fans have come to know him in the show, given that creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante Dimartino have revealed what the original plans for General Iroh were.

Fortnite continues to maintain its popularity thanks to the creativity of the developers but some of their ideas are not for everybody. Players can now eliminate enemies with mounted weapons on vehicles and one famous streamer isn’t too fond of it and stands by his opinion.
Chapter 5 Season 3 featured a few changes that mostly involved the vehicles. These hunks of metal aren’t used solely for traversing the massive map but they are now capable of eliminating enemy players from afar or close range and Ninja is not a fan of this idea.

While, Netflix has made a name for itself by canceling our favorite shows like I Am Not Okay With This and The Order, the streaming service still serves as one of the biggest content machines on the planet. That’s why when a series clicks with the audience Netflix has to renew it so let’s check out the lucky names of the shows that have been given the green light for future seasons in 2024.

We recently covered rumors about the development of a live-action ‘Teen Titans’ movie, which have now been confirmed true. Ana Nogueira, currently involved in ‘Supergirl: the Woman of Tomorrow,’ has been chosen to write the script. Production for the movie is said to commence in late 2025.
We’ve highlighted numerous young actors who have shown keen interest in various roles. For instance, Ian Ousley from ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ expressed his desire to portray Beast Boy, while Asher Angel from ‘Shazam’ recently hinted at the role of Nightwing on social media.
Another actor throwing their hat into the ring for the role of Nightwing is Drake Rodger, known for his role in ‘The Winchesters.’ Rodger has voiced his interest in the role, describing it as a dream opportunity. He expressed hope for an audition, noting that he’s already equipped for the part.
My dream role is to play Nightwing in the DC Universe.

Jeffrey Aro has worked on the stunt teams of several major films and television shows in his career – including “Yellowjackets,” “Lost in Space,” “War for the Planet of the Apes,” and more. But his role as supervising stunt coordinator on the Netflix series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” might have been the most complex and trickiest of his career. Discussions about the show started months ahead of production, and the series required Aro to not just train a cast of young actors in the ways of airbending and martial arts but also adhere to what fans of the property remember from the beloved anime series that ran on Nickelodeon in the mid-2000s.
“The first layer we wanted to ensure the cast understood was breathing. So much authentic movement can be found in the breath,” Aro tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “So we just defined four different qigong inner-energy breathing techniques.

Netflix’s Avatar might not have been a resounding success, but it is definitely a step up from its previous iteration, which came in the form of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. Among the numerous decisions that the film made, one of the most criticized aspects of the movie was the CGI that it used.
The Last Airbender | Nickelodeon Movies
Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender had a lot riding on it. While it had to bear the burden of satisfying fans who had been hurt once before by an inadequate live-action adaptation, it also had to make sure that it did not repeat the same mistakes that the first live-action adaptation of the animated series made. It is safe to say, that if nothing else, the Netflix version of the IP had the previous live-action adaptation beat in one key way.

Today, Netflix released viewership data for the second half of 2023. The numbers shine a light on what worked, what flopped, and how Netflix may move forward in the future.
Sign Up $6.99+ / month netflix.com ‘One Piece’ to Rule Them All
The most-watched show on Netflix in the second half of 2023 was “One Piece.” The live-action remake of an anime classic racked up an incredible 71.6 million views and over 541 million hours. The easy conclusion is that Netflix should greenlight more live-action remakes of anime shows, right? Well, maybe not.
One of Netflix’s most high-profile flops was the live-action “Cowboy Bebop,” which hit the platform in November 2021. Although it hit the Netflix Top 10 list for three weeks, the show declined 59% in viewing hours from its second week to its third. Netflix canceled the show less than a month after its debut.

Fortnite is one of the most successful games of all time, and Epic has earned it for constantly improving it and because of its collaborative nature. The title is similar to other shooters, with a few unique features like building and more on the horizon.
Ever since the developers allowed the players to use vehicles, it has ramped up and changed how players traverse the map. Some are even creative enough to use vehicles for a tactical advantage and potentially be used for more than just ramming opponents in the future.

This year Netflix has been at record highs of the live-action manga adaptations’ success, as you can recall the mind-bending viewing numbers of the mixedly-received Avatar: The Last Airbender and Parasyte: The Grey, which gained a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This trend was later continued by the top-tier City Hunter movie.
It seems that the platform isn’t going to leave the hype train, as it has just released another movie, based on a cultish manga series. It has already won the hearts of millions of people around the world, as well as the fifth place in Netflix’s global chart.
Set in the north of Hokkaido, the film tells the story of Sugimoto, a war veteran who finds himself in need of a large amount of money. He decides to get it by finding a hidden treasure mapped out on tattooed outlaws that escaped prison.

10. Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008)
An instant classic of an animated movie, Avatar: The Last Airbender has seen too many failed attempts at its live adaptations, but the original still stands unmatched.
In the world of Avatar, some people are able to bend the elements, and one chosen can bend all four of them — and this time, it’s a boy who must also save the world.
You can watch Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and Apple TV.
9. House (2004–2012)
When it comes to fan favorite fictional sociopaths, few characters stand as popular as Dr. House (save for BBC’s Sherlock who famously did not have a perfect finale). The cynical and anti-social House is a brilliant medic who saves lives in cases his colleagues can’t crack, but he does it while being a massive thorn in their backs.
You can watch House on Netflix and Prime Video.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has arguably gone to great lengths to balance its magic system, making sure that each classical element had some edge over the other so that fight scenes between multiple elements could be more dynamic. However, one scene that has been making the rounds on Reddit, has gotten fans thinking about whether firebending might have an edge over metalbending after all.

Metalbending was discovered about halfway through the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender by Toph, which means that there might not have been many opportunities for the bending art to face a more established element in the world of Avatar like Fire. However, one scene in the show might have cued some fans in about how the element would fare against it, after all.

The Japanese tokusatsu kaiju television series Ultra Q premiered in 1966 – and quickly became a pop culture phenomenon, launching a franchise that has, over the decades, consisted of more than thirty TV shows, more than forty films, a whole bunch of specials and mini-series, a long list of video games, and a bunch of comic books. The latest entry in the franchise is an animated feature called Ultraman: Rising, which will be released through the Netflix streaming service on June 14th. In anticipation of that release, a trailer for Ultraman: Rising has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series showed a lot of major characters, but none of them is as fierce and independent as Toph. The earth bending teacher of Aang, Toph, is considered to be one of the strongest earthbenders despite her disability. She not only developed her own unique style of earth bending but also used it to win a lot of underground fights.

She was one of the strongest members of Team Avatar, and proved it multiple times. Over the years, many fans have expressed their opinions about Toph, and they are not entirely positive. While she is still one of the most loved characters in the series, not all Avatar: The Last Airbender fans share the feeling.
Some fans have even given the reason behind their not loving Toph, and it is related to her personality and how she treats people around her.

Fortnite is the best place for crossovers with other franchises and players have come up with creative ways to eliminate opponents. The developers recently introduced the bending disciplines from Avatar: The Last Airbender and the American singer Doja Cat is unhappy about it.
It can be annoying to be on the receiving end of an ice blast or the chains of Hades and the singer is fed up with lobbies where players heavily rely on these weapons that are far from the realm of reality. These overpowered weapons might have overstayed their welcome.

The recent wave of live-action adaptations of popular series has caught up with many prominent anime and manga series like One Piece, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, etc. Fans are always hoping for their favorite anime and manga to get a live-action adaptation to experience their world more realistically.
Bleach Anime
However, Bleach fans might never be able to get this satisfaction. Bleach’s creator, Tite Kubo, once revealed that he doesn’t want Bleach to be adapted into a live-action series or movie because he drew the series specifically to be featured as a manga. He even went on to say that if Bleach’s live-action was possible, he wouldn’t have drawn the manga.
Despite this, Kubo’s magnum opus did receive a live-action adaptation movie in 2018, and it might not have been as successful as the One Piece live-action series, but it still got decent reception and reviews.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has some of the most vast and expressive means of power through the form of elemental bending. Users like Aang, Toph, Bumi, and many others portray exactly that. Toph in particular stands out more than others because of her unique usage of earthbending, making up for the limitation that she cannot see.

Abilities such as that of earthbending, sandbending, and metalbending help her become stronger than many of her opponents. That, alongside her charming wit and sass, make her a formidable opponent for the enemies that try to cross her. Her unique insight into various situations and her strong senses apart from that of sight make up for her inability to actually see. However, one of her most interesting abilities may not even be part of earthbending.

Last year's WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes came as a surprise and stalled the release of most movies and TV shows that were at least co-produced in the US. Now that the strikes have ended and the studios have been given the green light to resume production, 2024 seems pretty overwhelming with the sheer number of shows that have joined the streaming services' libraries.

Exclusive: A longtime passion project imagined by the late Steve McQueen has been revived.
Two decades after the iconic actor’s son Chad McQueen and family friend/Warner Bros exec Lance Sloan began development on the film Yucatan, Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer has been set as the screenwriter of the project that is now in early development at Netflix, we understand. Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey remain attached as producers under their Team Downey banner.
Both Netflix and Team Downey declined to comment.
McQueen’s vision involved a story about a renegade salvage expert’s search for Mayan treasure in the Yucatan Peninsula with him taking the lead. Details regarding where Dunnet-Alcocer will take the story are under wraps. Mexican writer Dunnet-Alcocer is working fresh with McQueen’s script, which was discovered years after his 1980 death as part of a collection of notebooks he left behind in a pair of trunks.
Two decades after the iconic actor’s son Chad McQueen and family friend/Warner Bros exec Lance Sloan began development on the film Yucatan, Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer has been set as the screenwriter of the project that is now in early development at Netflix, we understand. Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey remain attached as producers under their Team Downey banner.
Both Netflix and Team Downey declined to comment.
