It likely would have hit that sooner if they had further stretch goals prepared, but I understand that it apparently requires hashing out those details with Viacom. The Kickstarter also has over 40K backers.

Five million dollars in 9 days...that's incredible. The pledges have slowed way down, but "slowed way down" still means about $300K and 2000 new backers every 24 hours. There's still three weeks to go, so it's possible that "Avatar: Legends" could hit $8M, maybe even $8.5M, by the end of their campaign.

The last time I remember a Kickstarter hitting the stratosphere like that was with the Critical Role "Legend of Vox Machina" Kickstarter...by Day 9 it had earned $7M. (It eventually reached $11.3M, but it ran for 48 days...this one is only going to run for 30.)

Spectacular! Still 3 weeks to go.

I'm immune to all this 'folly' as I don't like PtbA and am not a fan of Last Airbender.

I suppose that's one way to announce the world that you don't like fun.

I like all kinds of fun, just not that specific one.

They're definitely advertising the heck out of it. I've frequently had Google and Facebook ads pop up for it on many occasions now.

$8.5m would get it close to the top 50 most funded Kickstarters ever, which is pretty amazing.
