First Look at New Avatar Movie Just Leaked

[@kaijingarou6526]

In this movie, Aang is gonna be younger than he was when he showed up in Korra anyway so it's not like they're necessary changing his appearance because people didn't like it in Korra. They said he was 40 in that Korra flashback and he must be like 20 here, so maybe he just didn't feel like growing a beard yet.

[@EmphaticNod]

I get what you're saying but... it kinda just looks like they stuck Last Airbender Aang's baby face on top of a fully grown man's body. It looks pretty funny, honestly, especially when everyone else looks visibly aged around him. Would it have killed them to narrow the shape of his eyes slightly, at least? That's an easy quick way to make a character look older.

[@kaijingarou6526]

@@EmphaticNod I don't think he's gonna look exactly like that in the movie anyway. We just saw a wallpaper. And I didn't say Aang looks clean either. I just said he was assuming things.

That is such a shame that they won’t even consider bringing back the original voices (except Zuko, of course). Not only would they all fit their characters since they are all literally adults now, but they are still in involved in the Avatar community!! Jack De Sena and Michaela Jill Murphy have been doing a lot of cons and podcasts and stuff recently. Even Zach Tyler Eisen, who hasn’t done anything since the original ended, has come back and participated in Avatar stuff too. Imagine how cool it would be if they brought him back to play adult Aang.

[@nailinthefashion]

No, there's a reason: they want to provide jobs for people of color who consistently get ignored because of proud, open racism. You just disagree, and you can! Don't watch the show. Others will, since what they're choosing to do is important.

[@slaybutton1692]

​@@nailinthefashion well, to be fair, they can still provide jobs by letting them voice new characters, extras etc, they don't gotta replace the iconic OG team 😅 Not saying this BCS I'm against them hiring a more diverse set of VA's, I think it's a great idea to hire more POCs for Voice Acting, it just sucks to replace the old ones when they did such a good job and have such iconic performances that people really resonated with. Noone else voiced them for almost 20 years, for us those voices ARE the characters, and it kinda hurts to see them disregarded like that.

@@nailinthefashion my issue isn’t with having poc as voice actors , they’re developing a whole new avatar series , they’re making a whole kiyoshi movie , great , get authentic voice actors , it happens all the time in animation a character usually has multiple voice actors because there are multiple different versions of it , the problem with avatar is that there are no versions other than the original show and no one has voiced these characters in the last 15+ years , and all this show did ever since it ended is get bigger , those voices are these characters , they did an incredible job , they even animated some of them AFTER the voice actors , if they wannna change the supporting characters voices for this Aang movie , great , but my view is don’t touch these main core characters especially when the og voices are still willing ,available and capable , again I’m just talking about for this movie and the main “gang “ , if they already had asian voice actors and were about to be changed for other Asian voice actors for this movie I’d still say the same thing

[@poltergaist1422]

I am with you. This new woke era sucks on that aspect. Who cares about the race? It is a fucking cartoon. This sucks also because it makes no sense. This is a made up world. Katara is not ''native'' she's from the south pole. Aang is not asian, he's a monk from the air temples.. Also, you cannot narrow groups like that. If zuko is asian, who is to say that he is japenese or chinese? nothing makes sense because it is a made up world. If you cast a generally ''asian looking'' person, they can be korean, chinese, japenese. I would argue that this is ultimately more of a racist thing to do. We should cast people based on their abilities, not their skin color. Much love to everyone.

[@poltergaist1422]

Zuko's culture is Japanese and Dallas Liu (who's playing Zuko in the new live action show) is of Chinese descent. But what I think is the most fucked up is that Dallas Liu and other people casted for ethnic roles are mostly people that just grew up in the states their whole life and only speak English. I wanna see what people do in 100 years when everyone in the US will be considered American and we can recognize people's races based on where they grew up, what languages they speak and what culture they are a part of.

@@poltergaist1422 "Who cares about the race? It is a fucking cartoon. This sucks also because it makes no sense. This is a made up world." I'm not too good on the details so take this with a grain of salt, but as far as I know all the tribes/nations/people in Avatar were based on real ethnicities. I believe the Air Nomads (and Aang by extension) were based off Tibetan monks, and the Water Tribes were based on the Inuit I think? I don't remember anything for the Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom unfortunately. Also, while generally I don't care about the skin tone of the actors casted in films I think it's important to understand why other people do, which is that the world has a history of whitewashing characters in media. In a perfect world no one would care and only abilities would be relevant (or at least the race wouldn't be AS big a deal). However the world we live in is not perfect, but is in fact still full of racism in many places, so a lot of people are very passionate about making sure things are true to the source when the source has diversity.

I really hope people push for the original actors. The magic of voice acting is that anyone can play any character. Samurai Jack is a Japanese character played by a black dude and it was great. Can you imagine changing Kronk's voice from Emperor's New Groove because Patrick Warburton isn't Incan? Also, the English voice actors that dub anime are rarely japanese american. It's like there's a group of people pretending to care about this when no one actually does. It's a real shame to since the original voice actors are the right ages, and are still in the business. This would probalby be the only time they would all work on another show together. I would personally love to hear adult Zach play Aang again since even though his voice has deepened, you'd most likely still hear kid Aang every now and then. But hey, if the internet can change sonic's design, maybe we can get the cast back for the film.

Let's digest this. Suki is NOT a member of TEAM AVATAR. She's a Kyoshi warrior who helps out from time to time. She has her own group. The Kyoshi Warriors. She's just another awesome friend they can rely on for backup in desperate times. Just like the other side characters in the series. I thought this was obvious. The TRUE members are the ones who are literally with Aang day in & day out. Suki, isn't one of those members because she knows her place is with the Kyoshi Warriors. She's more like a, ''hit me up if ya'll truly need me, but besides that be safe out there guys'' kind of character. It's not the same lol. Someone who is a part of the team drops everything in their personal life to be a part of Team Avatar. Everyone but Suki does this. Toph, Sokka, Katara, and Zuko literally left their lives behind to join the Avatar. Suki hasn't done that. IMO She would've became a TRUE member IF, she passed down leadership to a different Kyoshi warrior and ran away as a SOLO warrior to join Aang. Than she would've been goated as a member..... but she doesn't do that. So in my eyes she's still a side character.

Also the animated Mulan would not have cut her hair because of dishonor and long haired males in the Army would not be a topic). so anyway it makes sense that Zuko has again longer Hair :)

Damn. I wanted the og cartoon voice actors.

[@undisclosed_branding9714]

Having ethnic accurate voice actors is going to be make or brake. I wouldn't have taken that risk tbh and just cast the og actors or similar.

[@erenyeeagah204]

it's the stupidest most politically correct bs ever. voice acting can be done by anyone, women play male characters voices all the time. limiting your options like this is idiotic and i hope this movie flops

[@flashbarry6838]

I wonder if Bumi would've been born around this time? Great vid as always man.

[@dreamiicloud]

That’s what I’m wondering here. Katara had Tenzin at 34 years old and Tenzin was a baby in that old family photo, while Bumi was significantly older. He looks like he’s 10 but he could be as young as 6. Meaning she could’ve had bumi as old as 28 or as young as 24. Zuko is the oldest person here meaning he must be one of the characters in their early 30s. He’s 2 years older than Katara so wouldn’t she be at least 28? Literally around the time Aang and Katara have their first child. I wonder if this will be a plot point. I think that would be super neat!

[@flashbarry6838]

@@dreamiicloud Yup, but if they're going up against a major threat Bumi would probably be at the Southern water tribe with his grandfather to be safe so he probably won't be in the movie.

[@Augustmayse24]

I love the designs even though there different but it still feels like a avatar movie

[@webx135]

They didn't change his design. He's just younger here. If he's in his 20's, then what we saw of him in Korra was probably his 30's or 40's. Personally, I LOVED the design for older Aang (in both cases, actually). The part I didn't like was his change in personality. They hinted at him being goofy in pictures in Korra. But in flashbacks, he was the one being deadpan while Toph was calling him Twinkle Toes. I picture him being more like monk Gyatso, or even like the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, himself (With less tongue sucking). Basically having some goofy quip. Probably a nickname for Toph.

[@squidwardstentacle]

It sucks ass that they won't cast the OG VA's.

[@thanosgallagher4433]

Ethnically accurate VA's doesn't really make much sense, considering that the Avatar verse is... entirely fictional? What, they gonna bring native water tribe voice actors? LOL Anyway, the background seems more like Fire nation to me, lots of Pagodas there, not like Republic City.

Suki was definitely a part of Team Avatar, and a vital one too . My prediction is that at the point of this film, either she and Sokka are broken up, or, God forbid, Suki is dead . Or maybe just moved on all together, idk . But she IS a part of Team Avatar in the original show, idc idc idc !!! (… also I need a reveal that Sokka fathered Toph’s 2nd daughter, but anywho !)

It is too early. We will get more I am sure once we get closer to release date. We must be patient. For Sokka and Suki possibilities are endless. I am hoping they are still together. Also book avatar legacy implies Suki was alive at least 25 years after the hundred year war

I'm sorry but Zuko with long hair CAN GET IT. *fans self* edit: Also wasn't Aang in his 40s or 50s the flashbacks in LoK? I think there's a scene where he literally says he's 40 to Toph. Doesn't it makes sense he loses all that baby fat in his 40s? Your skin gets less elastic as you age so if you remain trim, your facial features will protrude more. Seems, perfectly normal.

[@Wright805]

Correct. Aang does indeed say he's 40 in that scene.

You don't need to be ethnically accurate, just as a lot of medias aren't gender accurate. Women have voiced men and men have voiced women. However, I'm still hoping it's just as good. You're right, it doesn't matter but I was looking forward to the nostalgia. Granted, their voices should've changed by now so I guess it might not be too outlandish.

But the actors are older as well, so it would be older voices, though not a huge difference for some of them.

Oh my God, this is the first time I hear people didn't like Aang's design... I just loved it, to be honest

[@Yeibaldreamss]

People seriously didn’t expect him to look 12 forever? I thought his design was fine. He was an adult 🤷‍♂️

[@DorkyWolf]

I'm just now seeing this, but I would like to say that Aang's face seems like a mix between his AtLA face and his LoK face, (which makes sense because he's growing into his adult features while shedding his child ones). Also, Suki definitely counts as part of Team Avatar/The Gaang because Sokka literally drew a picture of the Gaang in the last episode of the OG series and both Suki and Iroh were included, making them part of the Gaang. Maybe Suki and Iroh are more honorary members than main members, but they are still a part of Team Avatar (the same goes for Momo and Appa who also were not in the promo image for the movie). And maybe the buildings are supposed to be like earlier versions of buildings that will later be seen in Republic City. Like whoever built the buildings in Republic City probably took inspiration from these buildings in the promo image. Also if I remember correctly, Sokka has a boomerang in the comics, so he more than likely found it and there's an image of adult Gaang where he even has a sword which might actually be his space word.

[@datnobodyking13]

If the OG voice actors aint coming back i think that's the nail in the coffin for this franchise. The team avatar we grew up with was lighting in a bottle and we will never see this series as it was meant to be.
