  • Woot! Good job, everyone. Hopefully something will be done about this madness!

  • Of course at this point in time nothing can be done to change the movie, but we could always just protest and not watch it. It will send a clear message to the people in Hollywack that a lot of folks in this country aren't going to tolerate this racism.

  • @MoviesintheMix I'm not really sure if there really weren't any that actually looked the part, or at least less than Rathbone..... I don't know if the recruiters actually know too many ethnic Asian actors though, and I definably don't think Shyamalan does.

    But I agree, Dav Patel and Shaun Toub were good. I wouldn't say great or some of the best performance I've ever seen, but they were decent ti say the least.

  • @despairedboy Yes. Asian Americans could have been good. But apparently there werent any that looked the part.

    Not all the actors were bad. Uncle Iroh and Zuko were great.

  • @MoviesintheMix define who look Asian. apparently to Asian Americans out there they DO look Asian.

    besides, the actors weren't good, they are HORRIBLE

  • @EpicLeafNinja was he asian?

  • @darkrose834 No becouse M.night got some indian guy to play him

  • @EpicLeafNinja did he do it or not?

  • @darkrose834 the guy that did the voice for zuko wanted to play him in the movie

  • ZUKO WAS LIKE, MY FAV PERSON IN AVATAR, AND THEN, THEN, THEY HAD THAT, THAT GUY TO BE ZUKO. I GOT SOOOO MAD.

  • @MoviesintheMix In the show they look brown, not albino.

  • @dacurlytana Yes. But the thing I find sad is that most fans of the show are kids and all the teens and some adults are complaining about race. Race shouldnt really even be that big of a deal. As long as their good actors thats what matters. Plus in the show they dont even look asian.
