Avatar: The Last Airbender originally premiered on Nickelodeon 2005 to the critical acclaim, and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to being re-added to Netflix's programming library. The epic story of Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the journey of Aang, a 12-year-old boy torn between fulfilling his fate as the long-awaited Avatar, who can master all four elements - Earth, Water, Fire, and Air - and bring balance to the world, and just wanting to be a regular kid.
The show's intro has become iconic in its own right, and is a staple of pop culture. A talented VFX artist took the segment and brought it to life using Game of Thrones' mind-blowing opening sequence.
The video was posted on Reddit, and went viral with over 4.1k likes at the time of writing. While the project was re-discovered on June 2, the jaw-dropping creation was originally made back in 2015 by creator 'Ramsey VFX Shows.'
The artist meticulously re-imagined Avatar's 2D animated intro into the style of Game of Thrones iconic opening which made its debut in 2011 on HBO. The video opens up showing the Southern Water Tribe, before panning to the Air Temples and the Nomads' spiraling towers in the sky.
In the story, the massive city of Ba Sing Se is the center of the Earth Kingdom. The incredible clip brings the massive location to life by showing its lower, middle, and upper rings rising up from the ground. The fan intro then pans to the great Northern Water Tribe, and their ice wall defenses.
Finally, the epic recreation moves to the Fire Nation, which is tucked away between mountains and surrounded by volcanic islands in the West. The video truly brings the animation's map to life, and gives viewers a true scale and scope of how detailed the world actually is.
Those in love with Aang's adventure are in luck, as Netflix has also announced they have plans to bring The Last Airbender to life in the form of a live-action adaptation.
Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't the only Nickelodeon series that has received the Game of Thrones treatment. In 2013, Nick Jr. UK reimagined Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom in the style of Game of Thrones.
