[@burgerwolfbrown735]

Rogue Skywalker how can you make a full season of avatar TLA into a movie? you could make a legend of Korra film that is in between book 1 and 2

[@GigaDonk99]

Rogue Skywalker If they made an actual film franchise of it, they'd probably have to divide each season into two movies to make it right. But I think what reeeaaally divides fans these days is the debate about whether Legend of Korra is good or not. (I really like it, for the record)

[@brianty6676]

I remember paying for an early pre-release showing of the film - tickets were more expensive and limited seating, etc., but the theater was packed with the most loyal of the ATLA anime crowd. The opening theme rolled: the room erupted into cheers, costumed kids and cosplay adults alike shouting and smiling: you could feel the excitement and eagerness - and shortly thereafter the silence, the sighs, and the dispirited enervation. After the movie, we somehow all simultaneously congregated outside that theater, most of us absolute strangers, and just vented for hours together about how terribly this movie sucked. In that time, we shared ATLA anime stories and personal tales, people played music and danced: it was the best damn part of a really lousy experience.

Fun fact: I remember watching an interview with Shayamalan, and he was asked why he didn't include the Kyoshi warriors. He said that he loved them too much in the cartoon, and that he just couldn't put them in the film because he would've given "too much attention" to the kyoshi warriors, so he thought it best to not use them at all. Shayamalan, just tell the truth and admit you didn't know what the honest f**k you were doing when making this film and you didn't include them because you were lazy and rushed the whole movie.

[@Alphaplayer-ft3fd]

Diego Belaunde it was more because Shaymalan wanted to travel the world while filming. He got a 150 million dollar budget to make this movie. In the end, the travels became too expensive which forced him to continue filming in a studio. You could also see that when katara is supposdly water bending without moving any water. Or when She and Aang were practicing and there was no water. All the budget money he had left was spend on the final fight when Aang used the Avatar mode to bend all that water to defeat the fire nation. There was obviously not enough money to create that great water monster Aang turned into in the north pole. You could also see that when Appa appeared a few times. Horrible cgi. Momo wasn’t even included. I wonder how the fuck 150 million dollar wasn’t enough to make a good movie. It literally looked like an amateur movie made by a few students. And I am sure they would fail considering the amount of exposition and lack of Action in the movie.

[@elliast]

DAUS artwork If he wanted to fit everything in the movie then he should’ve used some of the important parts in season 1, just like the time Aang became that koi fish water monster in the northern water tribe. The thing about that is that Shamalamadingdong or whatever his name was seemed like he had absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE about the show, it was like he never even watched it and just asked a co worker who watched the whole show about it then just rushed to make it. I’m not trying to be racist but most of the fire nation is meant to be chinese and not indian, and the water tribe shouldn’t even have so much white people because it ruined who the characters were in the show. Tbh it seemed like he rushed it because he left out SO MUCH IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND SCENES FROM THE SHOW INTO THE MOVIE. Shamalamadingdong ruined a great show, and he should find a new job.

Then when the other cult members were introduced it just became too campy. Somehow I watched two seasons of it Peak-Pandemic when AT&T included Apple TV+ for free as a consolation after a data breach. I made it past 20 episodes despite never feeling satisfied but the compelling mystery and decent acting kept me going.

The creators of the show, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, served as executive producers and were initially supportive of the film production. However, both of them ended up being very unsatisfied with the finished product. In a podcast interview from 2014, Konietzko revealed that "A) We didn't want it to be done at all. Before anyone was attached, we didn't want it. And then B) If it was going to be done, we wanted to do it, but they weren't going to let us. C) When they attached Night, we just thought, 'Well, this is what we've been dealt. We'll just offer help when it's asked of us, and if it's not, we'll stay out of the way.' In the beginning, it was more positive and we offered help, but then we had a big falling out."

More specifically, I meant the pacing of the movie. You may not agree, but in my opinion, the avengers had very good pacing. The director got in lots of content, without destroying the pace. Also, I felt like even though there were many characters, they all got adequate attention. I loved the avengers overall. As far as the last airbender, they totally rushed it and cut out important scenes. I knew the movie was a big fail when they freakin revealed who the fire lord was halfway in the movie.

to be honest, the entire Airbender franchise needs to be about five or six movies. You can't fit the entire book on in one movie. There is too much ground to cover. The first movie should be about Aang waking up and seeing how the fire nation has destroyed his city and how people resent him for his absence. We have to see the Kyoshi Warriors and Jet and his band of rebels. We have to meet Roku and Kyoshi and the movie ends. The Northern Water Tribe shouldn't be reached until the 2nd movie. That way you have more time to develop Sokka and Yue's relationship. You can introduce Katara's journey to be taught by her master. Aang didn't even meet the Firebending master that caused him to fear fire. We weren't even introduced to Katara's healing ability. We didn't even get to meet Sokka's boo (whose name I forgot) and she's an integral part of the finale. We should NEVER see the fire lord's face.

I was thinking the same (how about Book 1 Water, Book 2 Ice, Book 3 Earth, Book 4 Metal, Book 5 Fire, Book 6 Lightning?) but then the actors would probably grow up a little too much... I guess if they extend the arrival of sozin's comet, that wouldn't be a problem.

the last bit was the best. I feel sorry for the actor that played Aang.

[@joyunicycle]

Me too, fact I feel bad for almost every actor in there. Guy playing Sokka actually does joke around like a real Sokka. Also, the kid playing Aang really does look like he's trying but Shyamalan gave him a no sense of direction on camera. They really should have left the camera rolling for behind the scenes.

[@Roan.bot.]

What they should’ve done is instead of making a movie based on the first season they should’ve made a movie about Aang before he ran away. Growing up as a monk. And then ending with him making the ball around himself and Appa and ending there or maybe ending on the cliff hanger of waking up to Katara. Fleshing our Aangs story would’ve made it a much more forgiving task since there isn’t much to compare it too. This should’ve ended up being as many movies as Harry Potter. On the other hand I’m glad it didn’t because now the original creators are remastering the series in live action on Netflix and there are getting GOT levels of money to do it and they said “this time we won’t have to white wash it like before.” Plus they had nothing to do with and hated the movie as much as everyone else.

Nope, it's worse. It made you cringe because Aang didn't smile once or act goofy, Kamara didn't act motherly and dorky, Sokka didn't crack a single joke, Yue was the queen and her father was apparently dead, the earthbenders had to basically do stupid dance moves ( an entire group) just to move a small boulder. No Kyoshi warriors. None of the races were right, Zuko barely had a scar, (you couldn't even see it) firebenders couldn't make their own fire so they had to use fire around them and they got scared of Uncle Iroh when he made his own fire. The characters were dull, it barely described the story. Aang apparently could go into the Avatar State at will. Master Paku wasn't even in it. Azula wasn't in it. So. Much. Was. Wrong. With. It.
