In the promotional video of the live-action Netflix version of Avatar, Williams steps up to serve and jumps high with the use of air. She then smacks the ball, which lights up on fire. As it lands on the opposite side of the court, a barrel of water bursts. As Williams lands down, the Earth breaks apart. Her forehead has the same glowing tattoo as Aang’s, and her eyes glow in the same manner.

Around Williams, the symbols of all the elemental nations are flowing as well, showing her similarity to Aang. The commercial is for the ongoing series, but fans of the show aren’t quite happy with the theme of the video.
