Last Airbender (Avatar movie)

[blckhaze]

total shit if your into the cartoon
Theres a major difference between creative license (the name pronunciation is understandable given we americans fudge up oriental names) and getting it wrong. M Night got it way wrong. (iro being tall and skinny, when he was short and pudgy, zuko and is non-existent scar, story line holes and errors)
I sincerely hope he doesnt get the reigns for the other chapters (if nickelodeon even attempts to make them).

No more racist than Asian actors being cast to play Native-Americans; and even so, most of the characters from the cartoon were depicted as vaguely if not totally Caucasian anyway. The only ones that were all without a doubt Caucasian were the bad guys (fire - so destructive just like all us white people who can't wait to burn things down and enslave others, because we invented all that, you see.) who ironically were all depicted as Indian in the movie.

But none of it really matters because, you see the movie sucked. REALLY BAD!

It was like Battlefield Earth all over again.

Have you even seen the show? The fire nation is obviously based of Japanese people and society.

It's kinda funny how people say if it's in characters are in an anime they must be all Asian.
Wrong, if you notice almost(key word almost) are suppose to be white...What person in native Japan has blonde or redhead hair blue eyes(aka Naruto,Bleach,etc.) But as for the Airbender movie, I didn't think it was terrible,but not great...more less rushed with great action...

Avatar is an allegory about the American Indian, or, I suppose, the attempts to subjugate indigenous peoples anywhere and everywhere. And their race was alien!

Odd thing is I have seen or read the story line before but can't remember where?

It is pure fantasy people ... get over it !!!
