Agreed. Aang and even Toph are supposed to be of Asian decent, even Katara and her brother Sokka are basically eskimos! This proves that M Night and whoever else was responsible for this crap had no respect for the series in general. And they were thinking of a second part to this abomination? clearly they should stop while they're ahead...
PS: As Sokka had said: "At least the effects were decent" xD
Sokka lost all his sokkasm in this (mix of sokka & sarcasm) movie.... I h8d that cuz sokka's one of if not my fav characters. I only like him, Mai, azula, & kinda zuko... I really don't like any1 else
U guys picked like the perfect ppl 4 the movie, the real actors sucked. I nvr thought about that... Dev would b a good sokka:D... I always was like if they bothered making it diverse & not just Asian. Waterbenders would b Mexican, earthbenders Chinese. Air -> white. Fire -> like Japanese Korean... Maybe black 4 waterbenders 2.... But I'd still rather hav all asians!
You guys are talking about how the actors look nothing like the characters. But, appearance shouldn't matter so much that an actor does or doesn't look like a character, as long as they can act like the character, they can be made-up to look like them. Unfortunately the movie pretty much failed on both accounts, but you guys going on about they looked nothing like the characters just really made me wanna say this. The movie still sucked though.
I love the Last Airbender cartoons that still play on Niceklodeon, they're a fun anime show. When Ihehard it was going to be made into a live-action film, I first thought 'cool' but the more I thought about it, the more I realised that the entire concept was far more suited to anime, and that a live-action Last Airbender would be like a live-action Pokemon, it wouldn't work and it would suck. And I was right. It was compeltely screwed up.
Dude .. I LOVE the actors you choose at the end for the cast! Brandon is so cute, he would've been great as Aang .. and aahhh, Daniel Henney! Though he might be a lil' too old for Zuko, he's quite dreamy :P
Wow. I couldn't believe that comment at the end. If you're Korean wear a kimono? They wear hanboks for goodness sake! I refuse to watch this movie. EPIC FAIL! No TLA, Dragonball or Cowboy Bebop if that comes out for me. Why must Hollywood ruin the things I love? *sigh* As usual, you expressed my sentiments exactly.
I can agree with what you guys are saying 100% but you don't have to be a certain race to have a certain name i mean you could be Jamaican and have a name like Ryu you know? P.S Ang looks like he's on crack in the movie and it sucked!
Avatar: The Last Airbender (also known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang)[1] is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon and the Nicktoons Network. The series was created and produced by 1 Michael Dante DiMartino and 2 Bryan Konietzko their white people okkk white people created avatar this video melinapendulum u made is epic fail
@masterdelrap I didn't make anything an epic fail, but M Night did and that's why the movie is tanking harder than Dragon Ball Evolution. White People created Avatar: TLA with an Asian influence and themes and those themes should be respected. I'm sure Mike and Bryan would say that if they weren't bound by a contract.
Even though the show was catered to an American audience it's clearly Asian-inspired. The fighting styles, costumes, and weapons reflect heavily as Asian, the cartoon was drawn by Koreans in an anime-like style. So is it really a stretch to be upset that the cast of the main characters are Caucasians and Indian? I'm skeptical that there weren't any talented Asian actors begging for the part. Or... I don't know, people who looked like the characters.
See the thing is, if a non-White character doesn't have embarrassing and exaggerated features (you know what I'm talking about--racist caricatures), people won't be able to tell if that character is Asian or whatever.
@MelinaPendulum THIS SHOW IS NOT EVEN ANIME. THIS SHOW IS MADE BY TWO WHITE GUYS AND BY WHITE COMPANY CALLED NICKELODEON. DRAGAON BALL I CAN UNDERSTAND BECAUSE DRAGON BALL IS ASIAN. LAST AIRBENDER HOWEVER IS NOT. REALITY IS THAT IT NOT ANIME. IT AN AMERICAN CARTOON. DRAGON AND POKEMON ARE FROM ASIA BUT IT WAS TRANSLATED IN AMERICA. LAST AIRBENDER WAS NOT BECAUSE THE AIRBENDER WAS BY TWO WHITE GUYS IN AMERICA
@sweetheart2109 But before the "2 white guys" created this show THEY STUDIED ASIAN CULTURE they studied the style of the bending food culture clothes ETC.! ! ! so if ur trying to think that this isnt an asian show it is ! GO READ THE FACTS before you actully think what its not .

@MelinaPendulum I'd say it's more of a blanket term for someone from Spain, Portugal, or a country that was a former colony of theirs. Latino is more of an ethnic group. On criminal reports they have race categories and ethnicity categories, and my fiance says Hispanic/ Latino are the latter. So I guess it depends on your definition. But it is NOT a race. Rosario Dawson is Hispanic, and so is Cameron Diaz.
@MelinaPendulum The problem is that most people use it as another term for Mestizo, but for those of us who are more racially ambiguous, it becomes something of a pet peeve. My mom is Dominican/Haitian and is black, but also has Spanish and Taino blood. My dad is from Puerto Rico, but his parents are from Spain: Catalan, and my grandmother is half Roma.
@MelinaPendulum I don't see how they would unless they're incredibly ignorant. You mean to tell me that George Lopez, Sammy Sosa, and Andy Garcia are all the same race? I have hispanic familia, I know what I'm talking about.
I completely agree with this. It is completely unnacceptable that they don't have Asian actors for this movie not to mention I don't like the fact that it's a live action movie. This is not 1952, you do not need white people playing every kind of role.
cast in a movie coming out of this country..lol this country has not gotten that far to spend money to see that.and Parent would not go take there 14 kids to it either..and there in lays the market that "hollywood" markets to 18-40 somethings?..
meh race is nothing to a movie...may i ask if you young women have traveled outside of this country of ours? (USA). there are countless movies in the world made by many countries made with different races from the source mat.
And also my friends this is a live-action adaptation just like all other books/animations being made like action there will be changes some you hate some you love.
And Seriously this is USA this country cateres to no one group or person you will never see an all asian
@animeosi Yes, we have, but we both feel that in a television show where the creators were trying to show Asian culture and mythology, that the movie should be a continuation of that.
no i was talking about features, not color. indians have features similar to caucasians like the protruding nose and the eyes and hair, however the colors are different. indians of course are darker.
@mallcraze I see that you don't understand what I'm trying to say, let me clarify. 'Caucasian' is a euphemism for 'White' (to be more specific, it describes a person of Anglo-Saxon complection -- fair skinned). Caucasian relates to skin colour specifically. Therefore by DEFINITION you cannot say that someone looks caucasian but is dark.
"Racially ambiguous does not make you white." THANK YOU! I'm so sick of people acting like "the universal/default race" is automatically white. Like I said, the same folks would have a problem with Harry Potter being portrayed by a Black boy. "Race doesn't matter" only when characters of color are being whitewashed; it never happens in the reverse.
I definitely agree with your opinions on the casting. It truly throws off the balancing of how the nations are against one another. Definitely supporting how Zuko has a "blemish." His disfigurement is a big manifestation of his character, and they're wiping it away.
@necronomicon: Your scenario is not analogous with theirs. They posited a film in which Asian actors played characters from an Egyptian or Ashanti inspired fantasy setting. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was not set in Egypt, but instead dealt with a Chinese mummy, set in China, with Chinese and Chinese-American actors (Jet Li, Russell Wong, Michelle Yeoh). I didn't see the film, so I can't comment on its quality, but no Asians were "playing an Egyptian role."
my plan is buy a ticket to say, Toy Story 3 and sneak in to The Last Airbender, only because I'm curious to what the plot is like. And for the record, I think I should be Katara, because I look alot like her (I'm also part Native American too)
Excellent review ladies. There is a tremendous racial biases in all Sci-Fi. Read the book:
"Star Trek and History-racing toward a white future" by: Daniel Leonard Bermardi. It illustrates everything (problems) you are seeing in the Sci-Fi "fanboy" media culture. Check out the other Avatar movie and you will see the same situation in allegory or in the abstract with the "NA'VI" = Natives. For more information about the Moors look up Dr. Runoko Rashidi; they were Africans who were Islamics.
well i think they did changes because they don't want to ruin the original show just like Spiderman, Hulk, ect not to be mean just pointing out something
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OK...this is bull shit.
First of all...u really dont know anything about Avatar! Damn,I am a huge avatar fan,and u dont see me complaining. And dude seriously they dont always got to be Asian. And y did u bring Taylor in this,he is native american man,my sister's friend is native american and she claims it from her father so (who is only half) does that mean she is not native american. And so u can pick up ur ban wagon of gayness and pitch it all down to Mexico were u belong!
Oh and if this really does piss u off then good,and btw I is supporting this fucking movie,cause I am an Avatar fan,and accepts wut they have done with this movie son!
There are going to release a pretty cool CGI trailer around Christmas. I only saw bits peices of it because it wasn't completed but from what i saw of it looks pretty cool. A lot better than that shitty ass Drangon ball movie thats for sure. lol
And another thing this movie is not based on a Anime it is a American Toon. You can watch on Nick. for crying out loud. If the movie is good watch it if not than its there fault. Stop trying to see things that arnt there. Have fun with or life. Life is to short . Thank you for the vid.
I'm not going to watch something that I think is going to be crap, because when they make enough money to have sequel I'm not going to be responsible for a white toph and middle eastern azula
They are trying to make the movie realistic. If you watch the toon. You see what they are trying to due. Like for example the two water tribe people in the toon they have black hair and blue eyes. like in the movie. As for the main actor it was a internet casting call. The main actor is a Martial Arts Jr Champion by the age of 10. Plus the main actor kinda looks like Ang but he is a little chubby in the face but he really does look like Ang.
no it is not the entire Earthbending tribe is Japense/Chinese Asian. The Fire Nation Tribe is Indian/Middle Eastern. I say they are a lot of non white in this movie did you even look at the pic for this movie. The main actor is half white half hispanic. So do you want to rethink this a little and due or homework before judging it. sorry for the mispelled words. really bad at typing.
I know the extras are of different races (not just specifically Asian they have EVERY race as a extra), I'm talking about the main cast. And where did u see that Noah Ringer is half hispanic, because I've checked and I don't see it. Even if he was, it doesn't change the fact that he is not Asian.
first off I dont get how this movie is racist. It has people from all over asisa in it. from japense/chinese to Indian/middle estearn to carcasian yes folks there are Carcasisan's in Asisa we are every were but again I do no see how this movie is racist. Trust me I ve seen many raicst films this is not one of them.
And btw - your versions for Azula and Ursa were like - SPOT ON, baby. Now if that Chiaki chick had some sturdy martial arts experience that's required for her role, I would be very surprised if she did not audition.
I gotta admit, it's fun to complain about the Avatar Movie, especially since it's an action movie that was made to appeal a large audience. M. Night Shamalyan just had to call dibs on making the movie and making it a huge budget production.
The avatar world is based on Chinese culture and they use chinese calligraphy. Many of the characters names are Japanese, or both chinese and japanese. For example: Zuko, means kind hearted, calm and stuff that I don't remember. Also the clothing are based on Asain fashions 100 years ago or something...
I hate the fact that they didn't do a good job w/ Zuko's scar! Seriously, you can't even see it, but if you look closely, squint and tilt your head you'll be like oh! There is a scar! Jeez this movie is so frustrating. I'm only seeing it so I can critize it with correct info.
I think those photos were taken even before they started making the movie. Trust me, alot of changes from what we now know will probably be made before the movie comes out. I mean, they were gonna hire Jesse McCartney to be Zuko, now they got Dev Patel.
Hmm, I can understand your frustration. I myself is against Avatar simply b/c it's a live-action. However, I don't think them choosing the actors would fail the movie alone or why it would be epic fail. Smeyers characters was all white besides for the Indian tribe, but they felt it was an obligation to get dark skin people to play evil in the film anyway. I think the whole thing itself will crumple just because of the storyline and poor portrayel to really capture the world created in the anime
Your avatar cast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the one they have. Seriously, I think it's so stupid that they didn't cast people who looked like they did in the cartoon. That's just an insult to the fans., like they think we're not gonna know or care. Show's laziness on their parts, and also disrespectful to the creators. Great video, with lots of awesome points and I don't think I'll be seeing the movie. I'll just wait till it's at the library to rent it. btw, Ninja turtles rock!
See here's the thing. With race. It just doesn't make sense to me.
The characters on Avatar aren't Asian. They are not white. The Avatar world is a completely different world than ours. There are no Asians or Caucasions. They are Fire Nation and Water Tribe. They are completely different ethnicities.
If you can find someone Water Tribe to play Katara and Sokka, let me know.
Avatar isn't based on our would, so i do understand no one can be perfect but they are inspired by Asian/Inuit characters and that is the culture they were based on, therefore the actors should reflect that best they can.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that this is full of double standards. Why is it ok for animators to create ''obviously Asian'' characters in a Caucasian image. But it isn't ok for filmmakers to cast that way. To be made because Aang looks white (while he IS white in the cartoon) is confusing to me. I get why you are mad with the rest though...because they don't look like the character. But to harp on Katara's ''loopies'' is just ridiculous. You are obviously angry for the sake of it.
In anime there are Asians who look Caucasian and they are not argued to be Asian. They are still considered. Aang is not white. I am not angry for the sake of it. Katara's loopies are her trademark style, its like Sailormoon without her meatball buns
Which is absolutely ridiculous. That is like drawing a cartoon and making a Black African look white...then saying that they are black. My point is why do you only get mad when filmmakers do that and not the animators?
In anime its common place, so maybe I'm just used to that. However, no matter how they look, they are Asian. Even in the live action adaptations they would be Asian, because no matter how they look it doesn't change their ethnicity as created by the maker. Avatar isn't based on our would, so i do understand no one can be perfect but they are inspired by Asian/Inuit characters and that is the culture they were based on, therefore the actors should reflect that best they can.
Haha. I completely agree with you on everything you said. I love how Katara and Sokka are OBVIOUSELY based on Native American or Inuit even though no one directly said so, and the actors playing them are paler than I am. Its sad because some of the actors here are pretty good. This movie will not do them any justice.
I agree with pretty much all of it except for the bit about the loopies, the arrow, and their clothing.
Some things from the show just can't translate into a realistic-looking film. Who would honestly take this movie seriously if the bad guys were wearing bright red clothes, and the good guys were wearing vibrant blue?
Hair loopies would probably have been too hard to manage.
Aang's arrow- if they had gone with that cotton-candy blue, I would have thrown a fit. That simply CANNOT be translated.
Hmmm. The movie's Anng looks Asian to me. BTW his arrow should be blue like in the cartoon.
I never thought of the Water Tribe as Asian. I always thought of them as "Eskamo" The Fire nation as "Japanese" The Earth Kingdom as "Chinese" and the Air Benders as "Saiamese" These are the impresions that I got from how the people look and their culture.
You're right, the characters should look similar to the ones in the cartoon.
Zuko's scar, aang's arrow, katara's loopies...WTF?? Next, they're probably going to get rid of Sooka's boomerang! they ruined what the character's are known for! But aside that, I LOVED your cast! And your Azula was dead on! I never even wanted a movie...when I heard about it, it screamed FAIL, but it hurts more to know thats its worse than I thought. Honestly, they should screw the movie and make a book 4.
I could be wrong but to me the whole thing screams of "playing it safe."
Zukos burn toned down to avoid an "eeew!" reaction, Aangs tattoo made subtle, mainstream white actors used to avoid spending time and money to find and train more racially accurate actors etc.
Hollywood doesn't seem to want to take risks anymore >_>
I would be interested to know Mike and Bryans feelings on this half-assed piece of crap!
After seeing the headshots I crossed over from the hope group to the Avatar Movie is dead to me group. Everything is reversed and right now, this is a mess, the special effects and acting better be FLAWLESS to get me to forget this. Gah!
From what I have heard they are changing alot of the characters personalities. For example they plan on toning down Sokka's role as the comical person in the group.
The arguement about Sailor Moon is about how she doesn't look Japanese AT ALL, yet their is not deputes about her ethnicity. She is Japanese, in every other way from name to culture. Then you have the Characters from Avatar who were physically and culturally based on Asians/Inuits, but they are suddenly not that because 'there is no Asian/Inuit in the Avatar World'? Despite the fact that M&B have said that those are their real life counterparts?
Also, just because someone does have the typical look doesn't make them not that race. My friend is Chinese/Black, she looks more black, but that doesn't make her not chinese. Christina Aguilera had blonde hair and blue eyes, but she is still Latina. Naruto/SailorMoon/Bulma are all Japanese, but look nothing like it.
i do agree with you about the characters. they look nothing like the people there are suppse to be playing. its going to be completely off like what they did with street fighter and dragon ball and they completely raped dragon ball. it was horrible. i hear there making a movie about blood plus aswell and like every anime and/or game that get turned into a movie im sure thats just gona blow.
Your friend rocks already cause of the TMNT shirt! <3
Wow. I'm not saying I'm an extreme fan of Avatar, my brother tried to get me into it but from looking at the headshots. :( Fail. Pure Fail, and the girl that plays Kitara is adorable looking but I can vouch that they should have a least made an effort to appear closely like the character because that is what people, least I think, hope for.
And I second that, I like Taylor [warming up to Jacob Black, Meyer did something right pre-BD]
I love the last picture LOL. I have come across so many cosplayers who look way more like the characters then the actors portraying them in the movie especially Katara. How can they not find actors to play Sokka and Katara. They have a range from black, Indian, Native American, Hawaiian and many more, while looking in the milting pot of the world.
Agreed. Aang and even Toph are supposed to be of Asian decent, even Katara and her brother Sokka are basically eskimos! This proves that M Night and whoever else was responsible for this crap had no respect for the series in general. And they were thinking of a second part to this abomination? clearly they should stop while they're ahead...
PS: As Sokka had said: "At least the effects were decent" xD

@mallcraze I see that you don't understand what I'm trying to say, let me clarify. 'Caucasian' is a euphemism for 'White' (to be more specific, it describes a person of Anglo-Saxon complection -- fair skinned). Caucasian relates to skin colour specifically. Therefore by DEFINITION you cannot say that someone looks caucasian but is dark.

@necronomicon: Your scenario is not analogous with theirs. They posited a film in which Asian actors played characters from an Egyptian or Ashanti inspired fantasy setting. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was not set in Egypt, but instead dealt with a Chinese mummy, set in China, with Chinese and Chinese-American actors (Jet Li, Russell Wong, Michelle Yeoh). I didn't see the film, so I can't comment on its quality, but no Asians were "playing an Egyptian role."

Excellent review ladies. There is a tremendous racial biases in all Sci-Fi. Read the book:
"Star Trek and History-racing toward a white future" by: Daniel Leonard Bermardi. It illustrates everything (problems) you are seeing in the Sci-Fi "fanboy" media culture. Check out the other Avatar movie and you will see the same situation in allegory or in the abstract with the "NA'VI" = Natives. For more information about the Moors look up Dr. Runoko Rashidi; they were Africans who were Islamics.

They are trying to make the movie realistic. If you watch the toon. You see what they are trying to due. Like for example the two water tribe people in the toon they have black hair and blue eyes. like in the movie. As for the main actor it was a internet casting call. The main actor is a Martial Arts Jr Champion by the age of 10. Plus the main actor kinda looks like Ang but he is a little chubby in the face but he really does look like Ang.

The avatar world is based on Chinese culture and they use chinese calligraphy. Many of the characters names are Japanese, or both chinese and japanese.

Smeyers characters was all white besides for the Indian tribe, but they felt it was an obligation to get dark skin people to play evil in the film anyway. I think the whole thing itself will crumple just because of the storyline and poor portrayel to really capture the world created in the anime

See here's the thing. With race. It just doesn't make sense to me.
The characters on Avatar aren't Asian. They are not white. The Avatar world is a completely different world than ours. There are no Asians or Caucasions. They are Fire Nation and Water Tribe. They are completely different ethnicities.
If you can find someone Water Tribe to play Katara and Sokka, let me know.

I think that this is full of double standards. Why is it ok for animators to create ''obviously Asian'' characters in a Caucasian image. But it isn't ok for filmmakers to cast that way. To be made because Aang looks white (while he IS white in the cartoon) is confusing to me. I get why you are mad with the rest though...because they don't look like the character. But to harp on Katara's ''loopies'' is just ridiculous. You are obviously angry for the sake of it.
redatpct 2 years ago
In anime there are Asians who look Caucasian and they are not argued to be Asian. They are still considered. Aang is not white. I am not angry for the sake of it. Katara's loopies are her trademark style, its like Sailormoon without her meatball buns

Which is absolutely ridiculous. That is like drawing a cartoon and making a Black African look white...then saying that they are black. My point is why do you only get mad when filmmakers do that and not the animators?
redatpct 2 years ago
In anime its common place, so maybe I'm just used to that. However, no matter how they look, they are Asian. Even in the live action adaptations they would be Asian, because no matter how they look it doesn't change their ethnicity as created by the maker. Avatar isn't based on our would, so i do understand no one can be perfect but they are inspired by Asian/Inuit characters and that is the culture they were based on, therefore the actors should reflect that best they can.

I agree with pretty much all of it except for the bit about the loopies, the arrow, and their clothing.
Some things from the show just can't translate into a realistic-looking film. Who would honestly take this movie seriously if the bad guys were wearing bright red clothes, and the good guys were wearing vibrant blue?
Hair loopies would probably have been too hard to manage.
Aang's arrow- if they had gone with that cotton-candy blue, I would have thrown a fit. That simply CANNOT be translated.

The arguement about Sailor Moon is about how she doesn't look Japanese AT ALL, yet their is not deputes about her ethnicity. She is Japanese, in every other way from name to culture. Then you have the Characters from Avatar who were physically and culturally based on Asians/Inuits, but they are suddenly not that because 'there is no Asian/Inuit in the Avatar World'? Despite the fact that M&B have said that those are their real life counterparts?
