The Last Airbender Movie Trailer and TV Comparison

I edited together this side-by-side, shot for shot comparison between "The Last Airbender" movie trailer with the closest corresponding scenes from the first season of the TV show after I noticed a couple of the scenes from the movie looked very similar. As you'll see, the movie looks remarkably faithful to the original on which it is based. Enjoy!

wow, its so similar! except, well, the one on the right has:

good acting, expressive characters, good writing, action sequences that dont need quotations around "action", pleasing visuals, good music, good directing, a cohesive plot, 3-dimensional characters, an actual mythos, character and story development, strong female characters, bright moments, a sky where you can actually see the sun, a sympathetic anti-villain, and a badass real villain. but otherwise its EXACTLY THE SAME!

M.Night failed to 'study' the actual story.Zuko's 16, not in his twenties [no offence but Zuko's FAIRER]. Katara & Sokka are tanned.Aang should be funnier.Fire Lord ozai's face wasn't seen until the 3rd season.Azula was fairer [i seriously h8 being a racist but its the fact] and you guys do knw that Ozai & Iroh r brothers rite? Ozai looked COMPLETELY difrent than Iroh [not to mention again, skin colour] wtf i respect the director's effort to adapt this to a movie, but he seriously ruined it :(

@ItsAllAboutDaJourney Iroh was fat in Seasons 1 and 2 but was strong in Season 3

The Cartoon is better.

Overall, anime is ten times better...but I don't think that is a surprise to anyone since M Night took no effort to really study Michael Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko fabulous work! I hate this movie so much

nor jolly uncle was always funny

UNCLE WASN'T FAT!!!! >:OOOO

@lifewithgenerationz oooh yeah :D

[lifewithgenerationz]

@avrilfantasyrin i think sokka and katara and the rest of the water tribe could have been played by indians (minus the fact that they're all supposed to have blue eyes of course)

[avrilfantasyrin]

@sk8erFreakEd619 i don't know if anyone agree with me but i think the only character that should have been played by indian is Guru Pathik :P

I honestly don't care for the different ethnicity changes, what bothered me the most is the actual movie itself. It was way too short, in order to tell the epic story of the 3 books...you definitely need more time...like Lord of the Rings time. There was way too much exposition and completely cut out some story arcs and characters. Jet and his gang, Katara having to struggle to prove she was just as capable as any boy, etc.

im not going to lie they should totally redo this movie
