A Polygon opinion piece argues that the newly released fighting game Avatar: Legends, based on Avatar: The Last Airbender, should be followed by a crossover sequel featuring James Cameron's Avatar franchise, pitting Benders against the Na'vi in a Marvel vs. Capcom-style brawler. The writer suggests the two "Avatar" properties, though frequently confused, have both remained culturally dominant for decades and share enough thematic overlap in energy-based powers to make a mash-up plausible.

The piece notes Avatar: Legends already uses a complex combat system with light, medium and heavy attacks plus separate Chi and Chakra meters, which the author says could be adapted to the Na'vi's spiritual energy network, vitra. It also addresses the huge size disparity between characters, such as the 3'8" Toph Beifong and the 8'11" Na'vi form of Jake Sully, pointing to precedents in other fighting games like Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for handling mismatched character scales, and proposes potential movesets for Jake Sully, Neytiri and Kiri.
