Meme mocking Netflix's bad Mai design in Avatar live action adaptation

We need to cancel Netflix for pulling shit like this

This is a two-panel comparison meme criticizing Netflix's live action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The top panel features the original animated version of the character Mai, who has pale skin, straight black hair with blunt bangs, a neutral unimpressed expression, and wears a red turtleneck, as seen in the original Nickelodeon animated series. The bottom panel shows the live action iteration of Mai from the Netflix adaptation, which has drastically different styling including heavy bright red eye makeup, a headband, and a noticeably different facial structure that deviates heavily from the original character design. Text at the top of the meme reads 'We need to cancel Netflix for pulling shit like this', expressing fan frustration and disappointment with the changes made to the character for the live action version.

This meme was sourced from a 9GAG RSS feed, as part of a long-running user post series titled 'Posting memes I found on my smartphone until I get bored or die #1654'. It circulated widely shortly after the 2024 release of Netflix's live action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation, as many fans expressed disappointment with poor character design choices and deviations from the original animated series. The format of comparing original animated characters to their poorly received live action counterparts is a common reaction meme shared across social media platforms by disgruntled fans of the original series.
