  • as long as indian on it. it's cultural diverse? fuck your curry

  • you really didnt put anything from the hindu philosophies where the avatar stories came from. and do you know chloe moretz from kick ass she doesnt know martial arts too and doing self defense with guns and they TRAINED HER FOR MONTHS BUILDING UP HER CHARACTERS...JUST SAY UR IN IT FOR THE MONEY FAG HAG

  • Hahahaha the interviewer's face when M. Night answered the "white-washing" question was priceless.

  • night studies martial arts?like what? shit kwon do? pissolin fung you?

    he made decent thrillers now he lost the mojo, it happens

  • Did the movie suck? ....or did the movie portraying your view of an animated version suck?

  • @Energyone The movie was ingenral bad, the character didnt sound like proper characters

    Its just then worse since the movie is portraying the anime since he basically got everything all wrong

  • @iNtErNeTLAMA12 Yeah, like I thought - most are like you, who can't stand the movie because they know something about the animated version. I haven't seen the movie or the animated version so I was just curious, but no one has given me an unbiased answer yet.

  • that fucking movie sucked

  • Great cinematographer

    Good director (except with LAB and Happening)

    Horrible screen writer (except with Sixth Sense and Unbreakable)

  • YOU suck as a DIRECTOR, go back to BOLLYWOOD

  • Worst film of all-time based on one of the best cartoons series of all-time

  • One of the best artists working in Hollywood. Too bad he isn't recognized as such in North America. At least the Europeans back him up.

  • @themainideais he is the worst director of all time....

  • @capenati HEY! THAT HONOR GOES TO EDWARD D. WOOD JR! AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!!

  • Bull shit, Shymalan!!!!!

  • what a twist

  • 1) why do you pronounce aang as ong, iron as iiro, sokka as sooka?

    2) why are the only two "dark" skinned people in the series white?

    3) why is Zuko who has skin white as snow indian?

    4) how did ou FU:up the story?'

    5) where were the kyoshi warriors?

    6) does your daughter wear a bag over her head so she doesn't get bullied?

    7) Why is sokka boring?

    8) where is kataras hair- loopies?

    9) why does the earth benders dance for 5mins before the rocks actually is moving?

    10) .. meh u suck

  • He makes me wunna punch him in the face!!!!

  • @NightCloud57 amen

  • Culturally diverse? You got to be shitting me. For the darker skinned eskimos you cast white people? The lighter skinned East Asians you cast as Indians? The small reclusive group of nomad you have as mixed race? I don't even know what you cast as the Earth kingdom because I raged out of the godamn theater before I saw it. Why don't you cast a woman for a pissing contest scene so it would be gender diverse as well? The main point of the series is exposure to Asian people and culture you idiot!

  • 2:27

    interviewer: I don't understand this person so he's crazy 

  • why was the fighting scene so horrible

  • You fucking ruined Avatar, Shamylan. Dammit. Just... dear god. What the hell, man? What the hell?

  • ... I liked Unbreakable and Sixth Sense...

  • @foodonface so do I, but it sounds like he took a royal dump on one of my favorite shows.

  • "Most culturally diverse movie -ever- made"?

    Hah. Don't flatter yourself, Shyamalan.

    MY GOD he is full of hot air.

  • Why did he ruin my favorite cartoon with 1 mpd. fireballs and bad special effects and sony for forcing it to be in 3d. I spit on you M.N.S. Shame on you

  • who is he

  • I hate M Night Shittyfuck

  • How does it feel to be the joke of the Hollywood industry as a director? I express my deepest sympathies for your daughter knowing that her father ruined one of the most epic TV shows ever.

  • Heres a question , Why do you keep making shitty movies? where that money could have clearly gone for better usage.

  • another reason why this movie did so poorly , he wanted to give a shakespearean tone of voice

  • The Happening was the best

  • What the hell happened to him? He went from The Sixth Sense to...absolute crap. I haven't seen Unbreakable so I can't comment on that. But seriously, did he smack his head on the pavement months after making those films? He went from from having loads of potential, to being in the same league as the people who make those Final Destination sequels and the "Scary Movie" knock offs.

  • Why was Appa the ugliest fucking creature I have ever seen?

  • I don't understand why the first thing Avatar fans complain about is the way the name was pronounced. The movie sucked whether or not it's Aang or Ong. You should get pissed off more at the character developments(or lack thereof), dialogue that was only expositional, the slow pacing and the fact that they crammed 7 hours of season 1 into a 2 hour movie.

  • @cosmonautiks Yeah the movie over all was pretty bad, but the reason Avatar fans go on about Aang's name is because first off the name was asian to begin with and second; the original creators had it pronounced that way, plus the name was a big identifier that this is the goofy 12-year old they saw on the cartoon. :)

  • I JUST HAVE 4 questions HAve you ever even watched on episod

    have you ever thought about kicking your own ass for murdering the best show ever

    and why dont you understand that the fucking characters are supposed to be asian no one wants to see a fucking white aang or fucking aribic (Not racest) trying to be asain and do You Know how to fucking get ppl who can sayy names right!!!!????!?!?!?

  • "There was definitely a week there where I felt like I had lost control of the movie for a moment." So, did he make this film in one week?

  • @MatosPianoMan Nope just one day and the week was just a party in THE MIND OF M NIGHT SHYALAMAMA

  • He looks like the guy that made "Chocolet rain" song

  • seriously...no one tell him about the legend of korra

  • he looks like black micheal jackson

  • 1 question..how did you manage to fuck up the greatest animated series on earth?

  • I just watched the Sixth Sense... what happened? Can this be the same guy? We should've have Peter Jackson do it. I wonder if they can redo it or if M Night's going to cling to the series like a starving man trying to redeem himself? But what's worse, if that he DOESN'T BELIEVE HE'S DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!! He believes Americans are being racist or something. Something about the Japanese loving his movie and America not? Something? Japanese people, please tell me he's lying.

  • @TheWitchdoctr Sixth sense-his

    Unbreakable-His

    Signs-His

    Village, LIDW, Happening, and LAB-His evil untalented brother. The real Night is locked in his brother's basement. With duct tape over his mouth. We must save him!

  • @Myytmovies I know, right? The real one must be there somewhere! And if this evil person continues making bad movies, I think the real M Night would want us to put him down....

  • @Myytmovies lidw sould not be in their nor the village

  • @keanu1336 What u mean?

  • @Myytmovies i loved lady in the water and it was my inspiration for film college. it just has so many aspects in it that work together so well and village was just a good romance

  • Signs.. The Sixth Sence... The fuck happened man?

  • @michaeljordan23f good director, bad screen writer

  • I wish they would ask him questions that would make him realize he should not produce movies.

  • WHERE THE HELL IS THE CABBAGE GUY?!?!?!!?

  • THE ACTORS MADE THE MOVIE TERRIBLE!!! THAT KID CANT ACT!!!

  • I cant say that M. Night is a terrible director because i actually enjoyed some of his movies... but this movie SUCKED. He rushed the whole thing. He put so many episodes into a 1 and half hour movie. He changed names, and characters personalities too. He made the bending REALLY slow. And... it was just a mess. I think someone else should be the one to direct the other movies. He should stick with his creepy and scary thriller movies.

  • you guys, watch one single indian film such as one of the gems out of bollywood, and then talk bad about this guy. he may not be the best director, but he is an amazing storyteller and all of his films have notable and unique moments. air bender had very poor acting and seemed to be low budget, but he did well with what he had, and the action was good.

  • @jakewfpf the problem is that he wrote the movie...so

  • @jakewfpf yea, he messed up the story but it was for the sake of time. try fitting an entire teli show into one movie.

  • @jakewfpf THEN DON'T MAKE THE ENTIRE SEASON OF A SHOW INTO ONE MOVIE. Also, messing up a story for the sake of time doesn't included completely changing the pronunciation of the MAIN CHARACTERS' NAMES.

  • @MatosPianoMan ok, chill, i dont care. i never said he was great but fag trolls arnt gunna help his films.

  • @MatosPianoMan The writers of the show sould've wrriten the script. Also, he does know he could've chopped the movie up into 4-5 movies for the first season

  • Holy shit. I'm from Fresno. :D

    Worst city ever, though.

  • 3:17-3:19 Shyamalan : "I thought I had lost control of the movie for a moment". Actually you had lost control the minute you started.

  • Comment removed

  • I do agree with one of the comments here that making a cartoon like avatar good isn't a easy task. It's like trying to make a good dragon ball z movie, it's never happening because the cartoon characters are too amazing and no real person can replace them.

  • @Chipexcess I totally agree with you. when i saw the last airbender i thought that part of what made it bad was the translation from cartoon to live action and the fact that in order to make the movie an appropriate length, they had to cut out a lot. though, i do think that they could have made the movie better (they could have at least pronounced the names correctly).

  • why do your movies suck donkey cock???

  • why is haters hating on M Night?? I watched the movie and I liked it. Had a nice dark vibe to the movie...

    the devil was also a good movie, just like the sixth sense, the guy is not a bad director.

  • you werent making a movie about noah ringer why use HIS race for ALL the air nomads

  • They spelt his name wrong.

  • 1) Why do you call him Ong?

    2) Why is he white?

    3) Why are katara and SOK-KA white?

    4) Why can't any of them act?

    5) Who is gonna be scared of a firebender who has to carry a torch with them all the time?

    6) Why did it take 6 FRIKKEN earthbenders to move one rock?

    7) What was up with that owl war-call?

    8) Does your daughter regret showing you the series?

    9) Did you know that Aang is supposed to be a carefree child?

    10) Why do you like raping twelve year old boys?

  • @Dzubur93 well its fun to rape 12 year old boys.....

  • @Dzubur93 you forgot to ask "Why wasn't it funny?"

  • @Dzubur93 Aang didn't need to be Asian. People need to stop fucking complaining about that. Not that it matters, one of the worst movies of all time.

  • @Dzubur93 Aang is suppose to be white. . .

  • 1.Why do your movies suck?

  • I'm just going to say it. M Night is NOT terrible director, if he was, he never would have made a good movie, he's made some fantastic movies. Although it's true my opinion of him went pretty low after The Last Airbender, it still doesn't cancel the fact that The Sixth Sense was an incredible movie.

  • m. night Shyalaman is rubber fruit

  • so they used 15 seconds of the movie as the intro (or is it the only good 15 seconds?) good choice

  • m night shamamalamasama.. K00n

  • Why did you ruin my childhood?

  • u fuckin ruined avatar

  • M. night shaymaqueer

  • Damn...I wish Speilburg wasn't there... 3:54

  • Comment removed

  • If I was in a room with Chuck Norris and M.Night.Shyamalan, I would have Chuck Norris a high five...

  • Me: Mr. Shymalan, why did you find it necessary to rape a twelve year old boy?

  • One question i would ask m.night shayamalan. "Out of all of the movies youve made, which one do you think was the worst?"

  • I dont understand how the hell can you screw names up when all you have to do is WATCH THE FREAKING CARTOONS and they say their names aloud for you to hear! Seriously!

  • i really just feel bad for the guy everyone is just thrashing on him for no reason just cause they dont like his movie give him a break he just has different taste

  • @AKAMrFlash it is obvious you weren't a fan of the original then. Sure, I'd agree with you if the title wasn't "The Last Airbender" and he didn't use the character names (Not including Aang because Ahng was put in his place because that means that he is trying to reproduce the cartoon we loved so much and he did not do that. By taking that story line he was meant to FOLLOW IT but he didn't and now this atrocity scars "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

  • he has come a long way...from being really creepy to being...quite cool....Good job night....Im still waitin on airbender 2 >_>

  • i was going to write some clever comment. but i can sum it up in five words. you are a terrible director

  • @dirtyscanhez The thing is, he's NOT a bad director. He's done some fantastic films. Unbreakable is great! He just had a sorry failure with The Last Airbender :(

  • @Czarewich all i no is after the village i stoped watching all his movies. forever. unbreakable was ok. sixth sence i called right when said i see dead people. i dono. all i no is after the village i gave up on him and from what i can see i mead the right choice.

  • @Czarewich Unbreakable was "Ok" I would say THE SIXTH SENSE is his best film but overall he is pretty bad

  • @dirtyscanhez More like, you used to be such a great director. Why are you now so shit?

  • @dirtyscanhez I AGREEEEE

  • 03:55 Why so serious?

  • So we can blame Spielberg for M. Night.'s interest in becoming a director. Thus, we should really be going after him! ;)

  • did he just say sandscript?

  • hatin just means you have a reversed wiener, piss in yourself

  • i hope he makes another avatar i liked it. i dont know how u could be so critical of this movie. first off it is a kids movie 2nd he condensed 1.5 seasons to make this one movie so he really have to rewrite anyway. its like them making the dragon ball movie. no matter how its made it cant live up to ur expectations. as a movie unrelated to the plot of the cartoon was a good movie. it wasnt good but its meant for ur kids not u so plz do the world a favor n grow up.

  • @lynchinjesus on an interview he actually said that he tried to make the script more mature ( by making it a depressing piece of shit ) and try to make it work for the older audiences... What he didn't know is that it was already working for older audiences with the humor and stuff... Truth is, a director who hates comedy shouldn't direct an action comedy.

  • @lynchinjesus The movie was a family movie, and it made my family sad...

  • i hope he makes another avatar i liked it

  • M. Shamalamadingdong

  • 2:26 Laugh in Shyamalan's face. You failed in this movie, M. Night, stop avoiding the truth and just take it like a man.

  • why is he allowed to make movies?

  • Damn you M NIght Shamamalama.... "finally i killed that stupid ninja Naruto" Sama... "ok now hes gone" Kun... "WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE"

    i came here from Naruto Abridged Movie

  • WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RAPE IT...............WHY?

  • Hey! I dont get this. At 2:00 they start speaking about RACE!? I was tought that there are no races! So what is it to be? Come on Hollywood - I´m awaiting your immediate wisdome. Help me - are there RACES or not?!

  • too bad the movie sucked balls

  • MANNN...I TOTALLY AGREE THAT THE EXORCIST WAS THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME..I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE POSITIVE AND BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF BLACKS IN HOLLYWOOD. BUT OVERALL HE IS SUPER TALENTED AND HE KNOWS HE SHIT, UNLIKE SO MANY OF THE 'CHOSEN" ONES IN HOLLYWOOD WHO PUT OUT CRAP JUST TO PUT THEIR COUSIN DAUGHTER , NIECE IN A MOVIE AND HAVE THE COMMON FOLK PAY FOR IT. AT LEAST HE CARES ABOUT HIS AUDIENCE.

  • Comment removed

  • SCREW YOU M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN!!! SCREW YOU!!!!!!!

  • the only good movie by him was the 6th sense other wise this guy needs to throw in the towel.

  • M. Night is one amazing director and writer. He has originality, something that Hollywood need desperately.

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ ur drunk. he started great but ended in epic fail.

  • @nawab256 I disagree... I have only had three cans :)

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ that my friend is three cans to many lol. it only takes one can to praise M. Night lol

  • @nawab256 lol. I just like his films, I know some people don't like them :)

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ some is an understatement. most people and by that i mean a good 85% at least hate his movies. his first few were good but hes done. its been down hill from there.

  • "Why did you hire the Indian comedian from the daily show to be your main Last Airbender villain?"

  • That man is not very clever.

  • Oh, look who it is... M. Night Shyamalamadingdong.

  • wow, why so many dislikes?

  • 1:12 he just said "sanscript" didn't he? ugh.

  • this guy needs to stop making movies. It would be good if he could also kill himself slowly.

  • @RedtreeJoe Yeah, he should totally die for being a hack...

  • m night shmalongadingdong

  • damn u m night shamama lama sama......kun

  • He's so young for a director

  • The interviewer looks like he just killed someone and hes trying to hide it....soooo serious the entire time.

  • @SRNF word he doesn't seem that impressed

  • we should smother him in his sleep. Can we do that??

  • Why doesn't anyone ask him why he ruined the movie?

  • @Princesscolex He didn't ruin the movie. It was already ruined the moment he started filming it. He ruined the cartoon show.

  • @Princesscolex You blame M.Night, he had the full backing of the Creators, they were involved.

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ Were they? Do you know this for sure? I would like to see an article that proves the creators had any say in the movie after they gave the rights to M. Night Shyamalan. Seriously, if you have proof, please show me.

  • @Princesscolex See this... watch?v=i4iWw6GVvrc They read the treatment and the script and said said they were happy with it.

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ Well now I will admit that the Creators are indirectly to blame. But M. Night did write the script and direct and therefore he ruined the movie.

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ What ruined the Last Airbender movie: poor storyline: M. Night Shyamalan poor dialogue: M. Night Shyamalan changing names of characters: M. Night changing race of characters: M. Night boring "action" choreography: M. Night choice of poor CGI effects: M. Night emotionless acting: M. Night overall poor direction: M. Night Yes I do blame M. Night Shyamalan.
  • @Princesscolex M.Night had full backing of the creators, they knew all of the changes and all the above you mentioned. I understand you think M.Night did a bad job, but share the blame.

  • @OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ I am merely blaming the director for directing poorly. Are you saying that M. Night should not be blamed for his own actions?

  • @Princesscolex because im sure he wouldn't want to answer it, im sure there was plenty of them.

  • @Princesscolex He didn't ruin the movie. He ruined the image of the show. The movie sucked to begin with.

  • @darkhummy The movie sucked because of the way he wrote it.

  • a m night shamalan movie that doesnt suck?! what a twist

  • The movie has the shittest dialogue ever.

  • here's a question for him: HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO FUCK UP EVERY ASPECT OF THE BEST TV SERIES IN THE WORLD IN ONE SINGLE MOVIE?????? you gotta hand it to him. thats pretty impressive

  • Fuck M.Night Shyamalan he fucked up the last airbender for putting RACE BEFORE THE FUCKIN MOVIE

  • shakespear?? wat the heck is he talking about? There was no shakespear in avatar!

  • Funny how he doesn't talk about changing the entire Fire Nation's race to Indian instead of Chinese. Nor does he talk about Katara and Sokka being Caucasian instead of Inuit.

  • wait this is only 6 questions

  • 1 Minute into the movie he lost his grasp....

  • M. Night Shamalamadingdong. He said last year he had written the script for movie 2 of The Last Airbender....no...

  • This movie was terrible, he should be ashamed.

  • Emm knight shyamamalamasama.... kun -_-

  • How dare this hack even mention the name Kubrick.

  • @TheTripstrapstrull hahaahaha are you saying that because they look the same? The other guy isn't even Indian he's Spanish or something,

  • Ill never forgive him for fucking up avatar

  • If I had a gun with two bullets in it.. And I was in a room with hitler, Osama bin ladden, and M night shyamalan.. I would shoot M night shyamalan.... Twice...

  • @miklitov23 Osama worked for CIA and died long ago from kidney failure

  • @miklitov23 is it because both hitler and osama are dead?

  • @miklitov23 props.

  • 2:30 the guys reaction to what he said about one mix racail hahaha hes thinking what a dumb ass
