The first three episodes of Avatar: Seven Havens, the latest animated entry in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, premiered last night on Paramount+, and the reviews are pretty positive across the board. As of writing, critic reviews are so positive that it’s earned a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. User reviews aren’t too far off either, as Avatar: Seven Havens’ Popcornmeter is also sitting at an 81 percent positive.
However, while Avatar: Seven Havens’ new characters, writing, and soundtrack are being uniformly praised, a few reviews aren’t too impressed with the fluidity of its animation (or lack thereof). For those of you looking forward to the show, this is probably not a surprise, as some fans labelled the art style as looking “cheap” and “fanmade” when the second trailer for the show dropped back in July.
Still, fans will at least be relieved to hear that the story is up to scratch–especially considering that Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender’s plot was a point of contention among the fanbase.
Funnily enough, even though Avatar: Seven Havens is streaming on Paramount+, it would seem that Netflix is indirectly to blame for the quality of the new series. That’s because both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra’s original showrunners, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, returned to work on Avatar: Seven Havens after their professional relationship with Netflix broke down following the release of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series.
And if you’re worried about getting too invested in Avatar: Seven Havens due to the Paramount/Warner Bros Discovery merger , well then I’ve got some good news for you.
