The Last Airbender Film: How it Disrespected a Great Series (Avatar Video Essay)

[@mycamlucindo]

dont forget they forgot Zuko's ponytail and Iroh's belly

[@user-kz2dt8tz8e]

TRUE!!

And Ozai long pony beard

[@anissakawther4986]

What about Zuko's barely visible scar.

[@nabbly]

My theory is that it's actually a live action adaptation of the Ember Island play. That's why all the characters seem pretty irredeemable and not true to the characters they're based on. It's Fire Nation propaganda. The bending seems so comical because the actors are nonbenders.

[@agel2435]

[@dregamingz]

Problems with the characters: Aang isn't cocky-ish and playful. Sokka is super serious and isn't goofy and funny. Katara isn't independent and always needs to be saved. And Zuko is always yelling at Iroh and doesn't show any sort of love or respect to him AT ALL. He was a bit disrespectful in the cartoon but he at least showed some respect and love to Iroh in the cartoon, and tried to reason with Iroh.

[@magicallittlemaria3599]

[@NobleGamer0117]

One concept totally disregarded in the film was that, the Avatar would have trouble mastering the element opposite to their native element. In Aang's case it was Earth. In Roku's case it was Water. Such a crucial detail, disregarded like it was nothing.

[@francinelipschutz6139]

@@NobleGamer0117 actually, it's not always their foreign element, as Korra from LOK was a waterbender, struggled severely with master airbending, despite being a native waterbender. It's purely based on specifically personality, so since Korra had a hot headed personality almost like a native firebender, the element she struggled with was air. Aang has a more positive out look on life, and overall is a more pacifist guy for the most part, unless the situation calls for otherwise of course, and thus firebending was a struggle for him.

[@dylan9124]

​@@francinelipschutz6139 I agree with your rhetoric regarding bending difficulties with your personality's polar opposite, but you're wrong regarding Aang's personal bending opposite. It's explicitly stated in the series that Aang's struggle was with Earthbending. When initially learning Earthbending, Aang literally couldn't move earth... AT ALL. His nature as an air nomad meant he was constantly fleeting, both physically and mentally. This went directly against the nature of earth as grounded and headstrong (Aang - pacifist/lightfooted, vs. Toph - confrontational/headstrong). Regarding fire - Aang didn't struggle to bend fire. He actually picked it up rather easily when handed a smoldering leaf. What Aang struggled with was the fact that, moments later, he hurt a friend by being careless instead of following the disciplined approach that Jeong Jeong was attempting to teach. Later, Aang's timidity with the Eternal Flame of the Sun Warriors was a direct result of the internal conflict brewing as a result of hurting Katara... not because he struggled to bend fire. He was afraid of losing control again, and thus refused to feed his flame as he had earlier in the series. Once he learned the true nature of Firebending from the masters, his internal conflict resolved, and he spouted flames like a pro with relative ease.

[@ryancarson6962]

Francine Sketch Yeah I wouldn’t use LOK as an example. That series disregarded several lore elements for the story of the show. I mean Korra is show bending THREE ELEMENTS with ease when she was a CHILD. Really the ONLY reason she wasn’t able to master Air was to make her an ironic new protagonist. See in the original Aang was an Airbender and knew that first and in this one she knows every element EXCEPT Airbending, see the writers are VERY clever, plus it justifies them calling the season “Air” which beings the Elemental naming of the three seasons “Water”, “Earth” and “Fire” full circle. Especially since Aand needed to master those elements in those specific seasons and Korra needed to do the same here. Also logically speaking if she had more efficiency with Firebending than logically she should have more problems with WATER BENDING and not Air Bending since that is what Fire contrasts most with.

What movie is he talking about

Facts. They ruined a great show. Such a waste of potential...

[@yarg8906]

another important part of the first scene talked about (in my opinion) is that Zuko not only agrees to Aangs terms, but actually follows through. something fairly uncommon for the fire nation, ESPECIALLY Zuko's own family. its immediately foreshadowing that he never really lost his honor, and that he's more honorable than most of the fire nation, making him the perfect choice for next fire lord. also sets the tone that Zukos character really does only care about getting his honor back, not feeding into the war or abusing power. the live adaptation twists that into a person who has no issue threatening to hurt innocent people in a very Azula fashion, and also doesnt care to enforce his end of the deal by not reprimanding the soldier that attacked. both characters suffered for it.

Sokka was my absolute favorite character, not just because he was unbelievably cute, but because he has dimension, a personality, his character changed over time, and they made him cocky, yet somehow in a good way, and he changed and he showed his inner feelings. Not to mention how he barely ever used the exuse, my mom died, or my fathers missing, he would just go out and find his father. The way his character was built is so unbelievably diverse and amazing. I also love azula and her gang and suki, they are such queens, toph is a baddie, anng is babyyy, Momo and appa are adorable, zukos character has so many dimensions and amazing traits that I can’t explain, and even tho we didn’t see yue for that long, she was such a lighthearted and amazing character, she was brave and she was a perfect match for sokka, (I like sokka and suki together also) they way all these characters are built are just so amazing.

@Chiaki Nanami- SHSL Gamer i agree but only if the actor is actually talented but the actors they casted weren't which makes the movie double bad

[@jessicawhitfield7075]

Also cringey that that the villains are brown people. Bad color coding

When I saw Sokka and Katara, I was like “where’s the tan-?”

it is your duty to never let the hate for this movie to end.

That poor boy shaved his head for no reason 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@swiffy2355]

he better get payed enough 😂😂

[@8114梦见]

The actor already wore his head bald.. fun fact.

[@katmossa3503]

He had the worst acting tho partially cuz of the script

[@BlastedChutoy]

@@katmossa3503 to be fair he had never acted before and was only cast because of his fighting ability. Should have been a stunt double to another better kid though.

[@hime6785]

He's not a actor

Can’t even bring myself to watch this movie. Not even gonna try. Netflix keeps recommending it to me, but I’d rather just watch Avatar series.

Do NOT watch it, a part of you will die.

[@masentleramotholo9772]

Don't watch it trust me you won't like, I couldn't make it to 15 minutes of the movie so believe me it is extremely terrible like I mean very very very horrible

[@giuseppina1254]

i actually feel very sorry for the actors, i mean imagine being them and thinking you'll make so many people happy with your represantation of their favourite characters and become a succesful actor but instead your movie receives so much hate and gets heavily criticised even 10 years later. that must suck :(

[@iamhappy9155]

Ye we should stop with the hate

[@ayekay4788]

well it is a bad movie

[@duncanwade1026]

Noah Ringer must have felt this way when the movie came out. He's an experienced martial artist, and was a huge fan of the show. He had a very strong relationship with his sensei, as he recommended the show to Ringer and convinced him to audition for the movie. Strangely, he was able to get the role when he sent in a video of him dressed as Aang doing martial arts instead of property auditioning. He was very inexperienced with acting, as he was told to attend acting classes a month before filming, but he was passionate about the movie and wanted to bring Aang to life on the big screen. It must've been hard for him when audiences and critics said that he was a terrible actor and was culturally appropriating the world of Avatar by playing an asain character (supposedly) when he was white. He wasn't as abused as Jake Lloyd was back when the phantom menace came out, but I have no doubt that his dreams were shattered and he was forced to avoid the public eye for the rest of his life.

[@TAOSpades4730]

If I was aang, I would literally quit the second I heard that name! Of course, I don’t know what an actor gets paid but, movie flame is right! The series is one of my most watched shows, and the movie in comparison looks like something a kindly one would throw up!

[@YANtheONI]

I feel like this Movie was just made to get money. The Producer probably never watched the show

[@warlordhuo4647]

Nice name xD

I don't understand why can't Hollywood get the original writers when they do live-action adaptations.

[@DarkspineBlaze00]

My baby sister saw the last air bender on Nickelodeon once and she said “that movie was cool I liked it!” My brother and I froze then looked at her. My brother: “are you kidding? It’s trash!” My sister: “no it’s not!” Me: “hold up! This horrendous travesty must be fixed! We do NOT speak of that movie in this house!” So I went upstairs and brought down the Avatar series and made her watch it. Now all is right with the world and she hates the Last Airbender movie too.

[@blackrabbit908]

You restored harmony and balanced the world 👌

Imagine if they had done Toph? She would have been deaf instead of blind, and you would've heard Katara's overhead narration going , "Toph is a great earthbender because she's been using sign language for all these years."

[@bobamarshmollow2919]

That will be a nightmare cause Toph is my favorite character

[@joycelynvt931]

in a scene where katara read the letter that was sent to toph from shinfu and maybe toph reads it and say its from my mother.

[@andrewlance3898]

Also, her name would've been pronounced 'Tiff' or something equally stupid

[@mairenatwins9614]

Lolol

Toph is the whole reason why aang was able to remove ozai's bending

[@jet_set8648]

I can't imagine if they made Book 2... "Tofe" "Top" The possibilities are endless...
