IDW's groundbreaking limited series, TMNT: The Last Ronin, was published between 2020 and 2022 and told the story of the last of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michelangelo, as he embarked on a quest to avenge his three fallen brothers, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael. Hailed for taking the Turtles back to their grittier roots, The Last Ronin also set the stage for a new generation of turtles, whose adventures will take place in the time after the end of The Last Ronin.
There’s only one new Avatar: The Last Airbender series I want

It feels like prequel series are a dime a dozen these days, with barely a franchise that hasn’t dipped its hand into the origin story well. We know how Han Solo got his last name, how Poirot got his mustache, and soon enough, we’re probably going to find out how Gandalf got his hat.
It’s not just the frequency of attempts that makes them an easy target for derision, it’s the sweaty mania of making up origin stories for things nobody has ever wondered about the origin of. But it’s good to remember there are still good reasons to do prequels. There are franchises that can sketch out a setting vividly and lightly, leaving comfortable room for a toothsome and gripping story even though we all know how it ends.
So for me, there will always be room for at least one more prequel series — that is, until the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender finally sign off on a gosh dang Young Iroh series.
If you like Avatar: The Last Airbender, you like Uncle Iroh, who begins the series as a long-suffering voice of reason to the exiled Prince Zuko and gradually pulls back the curtain on his calculated, oafish facade to reveal the Most Interesting Man in the World.
Iroh is a man of contrasts: an advisor of genuine wisdom and a man who can’t tell tea from a poisonous plant except by eating it. Leader of a secret society of pacifism and a military genius. One of the greatest living firebenders and a traitor to his nation. Iroh was once the heir apparent to the Fire Lord who attempted the genocide of the Southern waterbenders, and yet he spent enough time with waterbenders to incorporate their style into a new firebending technique. He’s still known as “the Dragon of the West” for exterminating the last dragons in the world — but that was just a smokescreen to save the last dragons.
It would be easy for Iroh to have been more of a plot device than a character — he is always on the right side of an argument, he has an infinite well of patience for some of the series’ most prickly characters, and even in his paunchy 50s he’s leaping around breathing fire like warriors decades his junior. But it’s an invulnerability tempered by the continual reveal of his past.
Iroh led a ruthless two-year-long military siege of Ba Sing Se, and his view of the Fire Nation only changed after the deaths of his son and father, and the loss of his birthright to his brother’s machinations. Iroh spent so much time in the spirit realm he can see spirits even when they’re traveling invisibly through the material world. And somewhere in there he had the time to secretly become a leader of the Order of the White Lotus.
The juicy facts of Iroh’s past are only eclipsed by what we don’t know, and what we’ve never seen realized in any episode of Ava

At least Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender nailed this one interaction
Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender speedruns the whole first season of the animated show in eight episodes, which means cutting some scenes, patching other episodes together, and adding a whole new prologue. Results may vary: On the one hand, integrating some favorite characters earlier on makes for some fun reveals, but also makes for some weird pacing and exposition delivery.

Avatar: The Last Airbender took anime seriously when few shows did
Folks who grew up watching Avatar: The Last Airbender have high-key been in distress since its series finale aired in 2008. Unlike other notable pop cultural phenomenons like HBO’s Game of Thrones, whose divisive ending dampened viewers’ affinity with the prestige TV show, the basis of Avatar viewers’ discontent comes from how spectacular the show was. Like a picturesque illustration of a stallion mid-stride, Avatar’s journey from daring pilot to emotionally climactic finale left a void in viewers’ spirits that they’ve yet to fill with another show of its caliber. And who can blame them? Avatar: The Last Airbender hit differently.

In trying to make Sokka ‘less sexist,’ Netflix’s Avatar cheapens the Kyoshi Warriors
In the rollout for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, fans got a bit up in arms. This isn’t unheard of for the ATLA fandom, having already seen one live-action adaptation do them dirty and with a bit of natural defensiveness built in from many having watched and loved a show for almost 20 years. So when Kiawentiio, the actor playing Katara in the new live-action TV show, claimed the show had taken “out the element of how sexist [Sokka] was,” fans were miffed.
