i saw the 18MMW demo video years ago and told some friends about it... we loved the video... and i see you guys on this video from a forum about avatar! awesome work...
I coulda sworn I commented before but I guess I haven't. :p
Loved the vid and watched it multiple times for the chuckles! And the creators of Avatar have said that it is an Asian fantasy realm based on Asian cultures and shows the diversity of the many Asian cultures out there in the world. The characters are Asian, and Paramount failed to deliver.
@laurariddle292 Uhh you must of never watched the show. There are people of all colors (black, mid eastern, white) that eat with chop sticks and know martial arts. It's an asian inspired world, but it's not Asia. Just like some things are Nordic inspired. If race isn't important to a character it shouldn't matter what the race of an actor is. To say only one race can play one race is racist.
Nobody was pushing for an all-Asian cast. Just a more diverse cast. If you didn't notice, all the main characters are "of all colors" according to the original show, but guess what? THE MAIN PROTAGONISTS WITH LINES ARE Caucasian.. but hey, of course you didn't notice right? Convenient. I guess colorless automatically means Caucasian, right? :-)

This media group is irrelevant...and makes fun of your cause.....why are they affiliates of Racebenders? Just because you THINK characters are Asian...doesnt mean they are Asian. They even notice this little bit of info...although making fun of it to avoid it. Just because you think they are doesnt mean they are. The world of Avatar is totally fantasy and the characters ethnicity is in no way stated nor implied. It is a fan coalitions pissy reaction to not getting what they wanted in a movie.
Justin Nozuka- born to play Zuko, sounds like Zuko, looks like Zuko, asian like Zuko and he's an actor so wtf is the problem with finding asian actors to represent asian characters. boycotting the movie, wouldn't even watch it for free. What a let down.

This is so stupid its not thought provoking, go cry more that they didn't cast Asians, maybe if you make a movie to counter that movie? Ever thought about that? Go find a studio that will produce another avatar in the ideal world you seek fit? OR maybe despite race, everyone who watched the cartoon will see the characters maybe part of themselves not Asian which I do admit influences its creation but everyone sees hero's in their own eyes,. this is a pathetic cry from noobs who wanted asians..
You guys are hilarious. GREAT stuff. I appreciate that you're using humor - and not attacking the people who did those tasteless things - to get the point across. It is more effective that way, and my hope is people will be more likely to think about what they did with your words attached than if you just shamed them!
lawls the note, Asians don't sell" is very interesting. evry kung-fu movie i can think of that was released in america hits top box office sales that season. also every single non-asian person i have ever met put some asian girl in their top 5 sexiest list
so casting whites (and that indian dude) in they're jsut because "asian's don't sell" is just a cheap excuse to racism
I saw this video at an anti-The Last Airbender community and laughed so much during that segment. I didn't know about the Argentine soccer team and Spanish tennis team. Oh man! *facepalm*
Thanks for addressing several very important things in this video.
Yes, boycott it and tell all your friends to do the same. We have to speak with our money, by not spending it for such racist/ignorant trash. I hope the movie's a huge flop.
I always knew that Chuck Willis was a doofus. Looks even more lame and dumb in person. :) But I have my sights more set on The Last Airbender. I hope that movie goes down in flames. I hope Paramount goes into dept and likewise collapses because the Last Airbender movie will be a flop. All because the racist filmmakers didn't cast Asians or Asian-Americans. Man, that Chuck Willis, he's really a ringer. He's one intelligent guy. He could have played ALL the roles in Last Airbender!
Oops, I meant "goes into debt" not dept. But, everyone, remember.... when Chuck Willis Mr. Asian guy is around, it's perfectly A-OK to do the slanty-eyed look. Just ask Rosie O'Donnell about that. I bet she's an expert. I wonder how Rathbone's tan is working.... does he look Asian yet??
I wonder if he'll just be like the other white people who played Asian roles, and just put on full-blown yellowface. Slanty eyes, buck-teeth and speak "Engrish."
lmao wth??!
