The Loki series had a slow start but redeemed itself in the last 10 minutes of the final episode, setting up potential future storylines.

Netflix is releasing several highly anticipated adaptations, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, and fans are hopeful that these adaptations will stay true to the source material.

The squad expresses concerns about potential changes and deviations from the original stories in the live-action adaptations.
