* ''Series/AvatarTheLastAirbender2024'': The first episode, "Aang", has an opening narration courtesy of Avatar Kyoshi, though, unlike [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the cartoon it is based on]], it is not carried over to the following episodes (since it is a Netflix series, where you can binge watch the whole thing, it does not make sense for it to be repeated again and again). While the live-action show's narration is considerably different, the original narration is paraphrased by Gran Gran as a MythologyGag.
