For years, fans held up M. Night Shyamalan's live-action "The Last Airbender" film as a disgrace that was a poor adaptation of the source material. In the aftermath of Netflix's "Last Airbender," some fans are finding positives in the director's version, with many pointing out how Princess Yue's wig in Shyamalan's movie was far better. Seychelle Gabriel played the character in the movie, and X user @KaylaAncrum offered a side-by-side comparison, explaining why the film's wig looks more natural. "Yue's wig in Netfilx's adaption is a hard top, synthetic blend, like a more expensive version of the kind of hat-like wigs made for Disney Theme Park Princesses," they wrote. "M. Night Shyamalan's Yue is in a full human hair HD lacefront."
Getting a lesson in wigs is nice, but even ignoring her hair, people aren't feeling Princess Yue's appearance. As @Euphraxio points out, it's not exactly great when people are complimenting a movie with a 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrote, "Why did the 2010 'Avatar the last airbender' do something better? This new Yue is NOT eating."
And this isn't strictly a "Last Airbender" issue. X user @Jack_Fetch pointed out that the streamer has a reputation for this sort of issue. "It was so distracting. Netflix has a history of terrible wigs. Look at Jupiter's Legacy." Maybe Netflix needs to invest in some better wigs for all of its productions if this is a recurring problem. Either way, if Princess Yue returns for a prospective "Avatar: The Last Avatar" Season 2 on Netflix, one thing is certain: she needs an upgraded hairdo.
