that's just hollywood M. White Shyamalan lol got unlucky with Jesse and decided to put Dev Patel a Great indian Actor who Played a SCARLESS, normal VOICED Prince Zuko (I think Dante Basco would have been perfect)

Yeah! The Fire nation are supposed be Japanese; The Earth Kingdom Chinese; The Water Tribe and air Nomads are also Asian, the Avatar world is Asian too. Zuko, Azula, Iroh, Ursa, Ozai, Azulon, Roku all look Japanese; Toph, Teo, The boulder, Long Feng; The Earth King, Bumi, Dai Lee look all Chinese and the other nations look Asian!
@Mizzfigureskater This was was posted in the year 2008. Jesse McCartney WAS the 1st choice for Zuko before Dev Patel. Everyone started complaining about the whitewashing of the cast, McCartney heard about it, he respectfully backed out.
@thebigfatlamp this guys more like solid douche if he was douche juice maybe he could clean himself up if it is a he im thinking its one of the Olsen twins at the moment only this dudes more feminine
I liked the music in the background. :) You're rant seemed so peaceful and calm! Very ironic, but nice. I know your vid was made long ago, but you're still right. The casting was not cool.
you gotta admit. If Jessie were able to fight, he woulda fit pretty well. He looks like Zuko...tho he only looks like him from the 3rd season... the race isn't exactly right but... they were revisioning it... thought if they had all 4 actiors woulda been white meaning all the nations except Earth Kindom was white unless tthey were white too and that woulda been awkward. I'd still wanna see it but.. I'd feel like "kinda weird". They fixed it tho. ^.^ Now there's whites, Asians, Hispanics n blacks
Put a scar on the side of his face, dye his hair black, and make his eyes yellow, and I could actually see Jesse playing Zuko. Now, the acting is quite another matter mind you, but physically, he could fit the role. He would certainly be better that Dev.
Dev Patel as Zuko is just tokenism. Also, he's Indian, not East Asian. Zuko is quite clearly chinese. Just look at his eyes, hairstyle (book 1) and the firenation armour.
@kistajk The fire nation seems more Japanese to me. It's the earth nation that is more Chinese, just think about the square architecture of Ba Sing Sei in relation to Beijing square city planning and it being a closed city shut from the rest of the world just like how china was during it's last few decades of imperial rule. While the fire nation temples is Japanese styled, especially the wooden vacation house in book 3, and the slight difference in eye shape and having lighter complexion
@anythingnew what? a beijing motherfucker? seriously, did you even read my comment? I was saying they screw up the cast by using indians to portray the fire nation. Learn to speak english properly before using coarse language.
Idk how to describe someone soundin Asian they just do. I knew the voice actor for zuko was Asian just by watching the cartoon. All the other voice actors for the main characters were white including aang and sokka.
OMG! Nobody is being fuqqin Racist! Big die hard fans like me just wish that the cast looked more like the ppl in the show! Thats what the fuqqin problem is! Some ppl are just taking this too far! ... Personally i hate the effin Cast, its like seeing a live movie of spongebob or something &they decide to make him fuqqin purple! Thats the problem! It sucks, but im still gonna see the movie cuz i LOVE Avatar! If your not gonna see it cuz you think its racist! Get over yourself & suck it!
My response to what rude things you said to the people on here. I forgive you for telling me to suck balls and then calling me a bitch, and then thelling everyone here to suck it, you are a person who most likely has barely any friends. Am I wrong? You probably act like a bitch here because "No one will find out." Eventually they will, and where will your "Real friends" be then?
Sweety just cuz im not some youtube friend geek! Doesnt mean i dont have any friends ... your lame & your wrong!! & if im not misktaing, its probably the other way around! & if that really offended other ppl they can talk for themselves! If you have shxt to say then say it based on your own opinion! &if thats being a bxtch then your weak! Im a Blunt person & i say how it is! & if you dont want me to say shxt then maybe take your lil comment back & Go to Hell! Mmk. Thxs.
DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE. It's as simple as that so stop whining because it's not going to do anything to change it anyway. And yes Asian people do sound Asian just like black people sound black, white people sound white and Hispanics sound hispanic.
Ok seriously people need to stop taking this movie so seriously concerning race. Almost none of the main characters look or sound Asian in the cartoon except maybe zuko. It's an american cartoon with asian influence which will be supported judging by pictures of some of the sets for the movie. Once you get over yourself you will be able to enjoy the movie MUCH more than if you went to the theaters with a negative mindset. This like all movies is made to entertain us so please bear that in mind.
"stop taking this movie so seriously concerning race"? It's racism, I think that's pretty serious.
There's plenty of people who'd disagree that Zuko is the only character that looks asian. And I'd like to know how someone could "sound" asian. It's like saying someone "sounds" black.
Me and my 9 year old daughter are huge fans of The Avatar series. When we found out there was going to be a movie we were so excited, we couldn't wait for it to be on theaters to go see it. Realizing the whitewashing they did with the casting made me decide that my family will not support that movie. I'm sick and tired of the racism in this country. I don't need my children to experience racism camouflaged in a film, we already get enough of that in the segregated society in live in.
Well, hate to break it to you, but none of the cartoon characters look remotely Asian either. Aang has greyish-bluish eyes and brown hair. Katara and Sokka have dark skin, brown hair and blue eyes.
Plus, they all have anime eyes. Which doesn't signify race at all.
The only one you can really argue is supposed to be Asian is Zuko.
Besides, the creators never said that the characters are supposed to be Asian; they just said that the world is highly influenced by Asian culture.
Hollywood is not being rasict dumbass. They are playing safe. They want to make money and want to appeal to majority White(European desent-Americans) and Euroean, know what your talking about. Even movies like Alexander the great they protray Persians and Indians as barbarian,but thats fucking Hollywood for you. Most will play safe,but some will be innovators that will change that.. Price of Persia movie with white guy bad..You got me with that...
No,its how they get more money by appealing to a larger market. These people are not rasict,its all about the money for them and Paramount is spending A LOT of money on this tri-flims(all together 300+ million). So this is not a joke for them there not going to take any chances like that..
Yes but you have to realize, according to what you say, they appeal to a greater amount of people by casting people of a specific race (those are your words). I understand its about money, but just because its about money it can't be about race? Wrong! I really can't fathom why you think casting people of a specific race is not racist. It's clearly a bias on racial preferences. You said yourself, whites would be preferred over people of other ethnicities. How is that not racist?
Like I said they are not taking chances. They same reason they will not make a miget the main role. Its all about money they dont care about anything else. Look you can argue the same thing about Japanese anime. Why dont anime characters have east Asian features? Why do they have colored hair and eyes or the most obvious the damn EYES?
I think what your trying to tell me is that if money is involved it justifies a racial preference. I personally disagree with that and I think its racist.
However, while I think what HE is saying about Zuko and his casted character wasn't racist, I do believe it's wrong that they are picking all white people for the movie. It should be done according to nation just like in the actual series, and that'd make Fire Nation the white group.
"Asia" was the Indian subcoinent before people ever even knew there was China,Japan,etc. When Alexander the great said we wanted to conquer Asia we meant India(which he failed).. And in England Asian people are Indians,Pakis,Bangleash,etc. American Asian-China,Japan,etc..
Haha no worries dude they changed it. It's (Dave[I think]) Patel, the guy from slumdog millionaire. Once you see him in costume it actually looks really good.
And you're right, McCartney doesn't look Asian, but with the right make-up, colored contacts and dyed hair, I think he could look the part better than Patel.
To be honest, I don't care what nationality you are as long as you look the part most.
Since when is Indian not Asian? Is India not o the continent of Asia...ignore the subcontinent classification please. So you'd rather have blue eyed blond haired whitey playing Zukko than an actual asian?
It's true that India is in Asia (sorry for the mistake earlier) but that doesn't mean Patel looks anything like Zuko.
He doesn't.
He doesn't look anything like him.
And Jesse?
I don't think he looks anything like Zuko either, but I think he could pull it off better.
If he got contacts, dyed his hair, and wore the correct make-up, he wouldn't be a "blue eyed blond haired whitey", but rather a dark eyed, black haired human being.
Its not about looks to me its about acting. I remember people was like Tobey Maguire is PLAYING spiderman... Everyone laughed,but he pulled it off greatly. And plus paramount pictures said there are going to be east Asian actors and African actors in the earth kingdom...
I lost the ability to take this seriously when the Emo hair flips started. If you are going to rock......whatever the fuck that hairstyle is supposed to be don't act like people want to watch you fuck with it. The second he starts bitching over Jesse Mcarthy all I could think of is the irony since he looks like an uglier chubbier Jesse clone with dyed black hair. Aww, but don't cry yourself to sleep tonight, there is still hope for you, and you can start by jumping off the emo train!
actually they casted jasper from twilight. its confirmed. haha. they ahve an interview with him and everything(: WAYYYYYYYYY better than jesse mccartney
yeah jasin rathbone is supposd to play sokka...mind u sokka is a 15 year old short skinny kidd with a tan and blue eyes..that jason kid is tall pale as fuck and ummmm...hes 25!!!!!! WTF m.night shamalayn....U FAILLL
I just don't like how EVERYONE is white in the cast. Everyone knows the series is a very diverse racial mix! you got chinese/ korean- japanese- Tibet- and Inuit/first nations! I can't believe they did this.. I'm PRAYING they fix this error in the make-up room!
actually even the creators have announce that the series are based on asian culture. Asian isn't only chinese it japanese,korean, chinese,tibet,thailand and all of asia. So yes they look a little different but bottom line most of the kingdoms are asian. LOL
i also heard that m night shyamalan sat down with two of the writers, so hopefully it won't be too much of a fail..because m night shyamalan sure knows how to fuck a movie up
I'm really hoping this movie won't suck. I'm not thrilled with the cast. But I'm not keeping my hopes up for a great movie. Hopefully I'll be surprised.
The trailer they realeased was ok, but they're supposed to make it look amazing anyways.
dude they hired the guy from slumdog millionaire....mccartney would've been a better fit...sad thing. also all the characters are white which is okay but funny since in the series katara and sokka are eskimo...lol this is gonna be worse than dragon ball evolution I'm gonna cry lol..they get a hold of every good anime and turn it into crap :(
Your link that you gave in the info. box says that Jesse McCartney is "negotiating to play against type in the role of the Fire Nation's evil prince Zuko"
yeah.. this is no longer true. zuko is not going to be played by jesse mccartney. at the time, there was serious talks about it, but due to some sort of conflict, jesse mccartney did not take the role.
yeah I thought so. I seriously doubt that M. Night Shyamalan is that big of an idiot. I think that he is going to be pretty accurate with the casting. He seems like a pretty smart guy. :]
WHAT? Zuko being played by that idiot? I heard the whole cast is going to be white! WTF is up with that! If they haven't noticed... more then half, if not the intire line of characters in that show... is NOT white!
Stuid people! They have no common sense or what? They must be blind...I'm really mad that they casted a white kid for Ang! And everyone is white except Zuko now...STUPID!!!!!
omg i totally agree with you! jessie could never play zuko! its sad they picked him to play my fav character in avatar (beside toph that is lol) this moives proly gonna suck just like dbz live action.
Dragonball Evolution earned a disappointing $2,075,000 in North America on Friday for 8th place position.
The first weekend the movie made around $4,650,000, or making less as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and a far cry from The Forbidden Kingdom, TMNT, Mortal Kombat and even Bulletproof Monk among comparable titles.
Hollywood white washing the world one movie at a time. Its funny how some few white ppl don't see the racism here.lol Imagine how ppl would react if The Lord Of The Rings had all Asian or African cast and no whites in a all Scandinavian/European cultured movie and book.
obese liberals? seriously. that's your "typecast" against me. FAIL sir. FAIL. besides. i am talking about a fucking cartoon, and you bring up politics. you are fucking retarded. yes, that is my response.

Thats not what he's saying. Zuko is a realist, somewhat negative, has a hardcore look, doesn't smile alot, has a bad past, etc.
The guy they casted to be Zuko looks like a pretty boy. Enuff said.
DeftJay 2 years ago
However, while I think what HE is saying about Zuko and his casted character wasn't racist, I do believe it's wrong that they are picking all white people for the movie. It should be done according to nation just like in the actual series, and that'd make Fire Nation the white group.

"Asia" was the Indian subcoinent before people ever even knew there was China,Japan,etc. When Alexander the great said we wanted to conquer Asia we meant India(which he failed).. And in England Asian people are Indians,Pakis,Bangleash,etc. American Asian-China,Japan,etc..

Haha no worries dude they changed it. It's (Dave[I think]) Patel, the guy from slumdog millionaire. Once you see him in costume it actually looks really good.
Weareinsane2 2 years ago 2
Actually, I'm more upset over Dave Patel then I was over Jesse McCartney.
Dave Patel is Indian.
Zuko is supposed to be almost Asian.
They don't look alike at all.
xLullabyRosex 2 years ago
McCartney doesn't look Asian too. And technically, Dev (it's Dev not Dave...lol) Patel is still Asians.
In the UK, when you say "Asian"...Pakistani, Indian people are in mind -- which proves that Asia is indeed a diverse continent.
And I'm Asian too! haha
KodaJosh098 2 years ago
lol, sorry. XD
Dev, then.
And you're right, McCartney doesn't look Asian, but with the right make-up, colored contacts and dyed hair, I think he could look the part better than Patel.
To be honest, I don't care what nationality you are as long as you look the part most.
xLullabyRosex 2 years ago
Since when is Indian not Asian? Is India not o the continent of Asia...ignore the subcontinent classification please. So you'd rather have blue eyed blond haired whitey playing Zukko than an actual asian?
BlasphemousContessa 2 years ago
It's true that India is in Asia (sorry for the mistake earlier) but that doesn't mean Patel looks anything like Zuko.
He doesn't.
He doesn't look anything like him.
And Jesse?
I don't think he looks anything like Zuko either, but I think he could pull it off better.
If he got contacts, dyed his hair, and wore the correct make-up, he wouldn't be a "blue eyed blond haired whitey", but rather a dark eyed, black haired human being.
xLullabyRosex 2 years ago 2
Its not about looks to me its about acting. I remember people was like Tobey Maguire is PLAYING spiderman... Everyone laughed,but he pulled it off greatly. And plus paramount pictures said there are going to be east Asian actors and African actors in the earth kingdom...

I lost the ability to take this seriously when the Emo hair flips started. If you are going to rock......whatever the fuck that hairstyle is supposed to be don't act like people want to watch you fuck with it. The second he starts bitching over Jesse Mcarthy all I could think of is the irony since he looks like an uglier chubbier Jesse clone with dyed black hair. Aww, but don't cry yourself to sleep tonight, there is still hope for you, and you can start by jumping off the emo train!

...O.o''' you'd be a good Zuko.
I just don't like how EVERYONE is white in the cast. Everyone knows the series is a very diverse racial mix! you got chinese/ korean- japanese- Tibet- and Inuit/first nations! I can't believe they did this.. I'm PRAYING they fix this error in the make-up room!

there is nothing british,american,or even white about the series. With a kingdom call ba sing sei (chinese) how can one be so blind.
thunder2rain 2 years ago 2
actually even the creators have announce that the series are based on asian culture. Asian isn't only chinese it japanese,korean, chinese,tibet,thailand and all of asia. So yes they look a little different but bottom line most of the kingdoms are asian. LOL

Most of the characters are asian that fact.
But ill explain to you how a brain washed person would think differently.
Okay so the characters have ASIAN names
Wear ASIAN clothes
Write ASIAN words
Live in ASIAN buildings,Houses,mountains,environment.
Eat Asian food with chop sticks
Practice ASIAN martial arts
Have ASIAN features all black hair and eyes

yeah.. this is no longer true. zuko is not going to be played by jesse mccartney. at the time, there was serious talks about it, but due to some sort of conflict, jesse mccartney did not take the role.

yeah I thought so. I seriously doubt that M. Night Shyamalan is that big of an idiot. I think that he is going to be pretty accurate with the casting. He seems like a pretty smart guy. :]

Dragonball Evolution earned a disappointing $2,075,000 in North America on Friday for 8th place position.
The first weekend the movie made around $4,650,000, or making less as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and a far cry from The Forbidden Kingdom, TMNT, Mortal Kombat and even Bulletproof Monk among comparable titles.

Hollywood white washing the world one movie at a time. Its funny how some few white ppl don't see the racism here.lol Imagine how ppl would react if The Lord Of The Rings had all Asian or African cast and no whites in a all Scandinavian/European cultured movie and book.
