The teaser trailer has me so ramped up for this. I am a huge fan of the show. I have so much hope for this movie. I hope they are true to the source. I hope M Night Shaymalan doesn't go all M Night on it. I hope it has Appa. I hope it doesn't get Eragoned. I hope that guy that is playing Sokka can act better than he (and everyone else) did in that crap Twilight movie.

I'm not following a "I Hate Twilight" trend. I actually have read the books and seen the movie. That was a bad movie. Straight to DVD quality all the way around. That is what happens when you hire a director with no idea how to make a special effects/thriller type movie, and when you cast a movie based primarily on looks. The new one looks like it will be a lot better though, so here's to hoping. I hope we get a full trailer for the last airbender soon. ps. The "I Love Twilight" trend is more annoying. ;D

I neither love it, nor hate it. I have no opinion about it.

I'm not hearing good things about the movie so far. I've got rumors that Zuko isn't even going to have a scar on his face AND a full head of hair! And there's also going to be this twist at the end that isn't going to be cool at all. I hope its not true.

I wouldn't listen to rumors. Cuz Ive seen pictures of Zuko in Entertainment Weekly and he does have a scar and hair. Also M. Night movies only have a twist when he writes them...and since he didnt then it shouldn't have a twist.

I recently caught onto Avatar: The Last Airbender and instantly fell in love with it! The characters are all unique and dynamic, the world is full of lore and mythology, while the plot itself is very compelling!
I dig the animation, and the episodes are full of heart. It's so cool!
As for the film, I looked at pictures of Aang, Katara, Zuko and Sokka. I disagree with the casting...alot. None of them look asian whatsoever! Katara is played by a white girl for cryin' outloud. In the animation, she had darker skin...and dark hair. While the actress is very fair, and has light hair with blond highlights. I really dislike the guy from Slumdog Millionaire playing Zuko. It's a fail so far in my eyes.

I've loved the show since the beginning (Sokka is the best! Reminds me of Xander ), and I still find it upsetting that the cast is almost entirely white when the characters are clearly supposed to be Asian (different types of Asian, but Asian nonetheless). I dislike that the villain is the dark skinned one....subtext much? I can forgive Aang being white because it's really hard to find a little kid that can do martial arts extremely well and act well, but I cannot forgive the rest of the casting. The movie better be good.

Guys seriously. Appearances shouldn't matter... Im only gonna judge after I've seen them actually act as their characters. Dev Patel is an awesome actor so Im sure he'll do a good job. Also Avatar: The Last Airbender is an american anime... which means that they dont HAVE to be 'asian'... or at least thats what it means to me..
*shrug*

That, and the character designs imply that they are Asian. I have a personal problem with the cast being white because Hollywood always white washes movies that are supposed to be focused on Asians. Like "21" for example. In the movie most of the characters including the main character were white, when in reality they were all (more or less) Asian. It's racist, and that's what my only problem is. I'm still going to see the movie, but I'm skeptical. I'm really hoping it's good, though

I'm really hoping it's good, though I don't know much about "Airbender", but I understand where GIQ is coming from. It would be great if Hollywood just cast people based on their talent and not on their appearance, but that's just not the case. It's all good to have Ben Kingsley play Gandhi, but would they ever have Danny Glover play Richard Nixon?

I'm not gonna lie, my nipples hardened after watching this. rofl. Edit: 4:17am Yes, Appa will appear in the film, along with Momo. In the background of this picture, Mike and I think that that is going to be the top of Appa where the cast will be able to ride him, where as the rest of his body will be full on CGI. But like I said, this is just speculation. www.imdb.com/media/rm275418880/nm3796548Thanks Mike, for providing me with this picture.

It balanced humor and action. It had wonderful characters, and action scenes. The Asian influence, and fighting styles pulls it all together nicely. You should definitely check it out one day. what's up with everybody's nipples hardening? o.0 -Nipples harden- Idk. That's odd. Seems to be contagious.

I think I'll watch a few episodes later tonight. I already have the first "Book" in my Netflix Instant Watch queue. All this talk of hardening nipples has made mine hard. All three of them.
