What story is the Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action adapting?

Last Airbender Live Action - But Why Tho (1) Netflix

The easiest way to capture the story is to look at the official synopsis for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series:

“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope.

But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang, a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar. Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai. But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task. They’ll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.”

For fans of the original animated series from Nickelodeon that pretty much defined a generation of kid to young adult animation, growing with its audience, the synopsis is pretty straightforward: Book One. That said, Netflix has been explicit in using the word “reimagining” instead of “adaptation,” which manages to build in enough padding for story changes that are natural to come with editing down arcs into smaller episode counts. That said, the world presented in the trailer is one that is easy to fall into. Just look at Appa’s nose in the picture below.
