Over 18,000 signatures have been gathered on an online petition urging Paramount to revert its decision to shift The Legend of Aang from theaters to streaming on Paramount+. Fans of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series expressed their disappointment, hoping a theatrical release would attract a broader audience beyond streaming subscribers.
One notable comment from a user named “Steve Ahn” sparked attention, claiming frustration with the studio’s decisions regarding the film. This user shares a name with the co-director of the film, leading to confusion. However, Ahn later clarified on Twitter that he did not author that comment and condemned the misleading implications it might create about the film's development.
Despite the lack of direct endorsement from Ahn, the backlash against the film's streaming-only release highlights significant discontent among fans. They are actively seeking to influence Paramount’s decision, demonstrating a strong dedication to preserving the film's theatrical potential.
