@@NotMichael349 The funniest thing is the fire-benders in this movie. In the animated show fire-benders would be able to conjure up their own fire or enhance flames nearby using chi, which made them pretty unique compared to the other elements that require nearby sources of their elements. The movie fire-benders never conjure fire, they just use whatever is on a nearby torch or campfire they made with a lighter. So a significantly nerfed fire nation vs earth benders that could just cover their fire sources with one floating rock :/

That's the twist.

It was also the opposite to the peaceful Airbenders who could ALSO use air anywhere they went. This movie is so annoying

One of the worst offenses to me was changing the fire nation to an Indian culture as opposed to the obvious Japanese/Mongolian influence of the show. Usually I don't care about race swapping characters if it's a side character or the actor makes sense for the role like the new Batman movie, but race swapping an entire nation of people just because you'd prefer them to be Indian? Wtf was Shyamalan thinking? *edit**: I know the fire nation's aesthetic is based on multiple east Asian cultures. Didn't mean to imply Japanese and Mongolian are the only influences.

[@SpinosaurusTheProud]

It reeks of self insert fan fiction vibes.

[@chopmopjeter18]

It was a literal slap and a middle finger to the fanbase and the creators.

[@bullshark7888]

I agree. They did every single character dirty, not just by completely changing each and every one of their designs, but also making everyone pathetic and useless. Katara was a badass water bender even if she wasn't that good in Book 1, she was still brave and never backed out from a fight. And Sokka too, even though he wasn't a powerful bender or anything, he was also this quirky, funny character who was still around for comic relief and had his moments where he too fought. The worst rewrite I found was by far the Fire Nation turning Indian and them being basically useless when it comes to fire bending. Like wow, they now need a fire source nearby to fire bend? They can't produce fire on their own? Jeez, just thinking about this movie and how they raped my favorite childhood show gives me PTSD.

[@walter4180]

And an under rated (imo) part of TLA is that it humanizes the 'enemy' that is the fire nation really fucking well and it does it in the simplest way by just showing the audience that a lot of them are just normal people. Makes for some good gags too. Only person the show doesn't really do well is ironically the big bad of the fire nation himself in the fire lord. Probably my only major gripe of the show outside of nitpicks is that Ozai didn't get enough characterization and when we finally do some him doing things, it's the final battle. That said, literally everything else the show does right makes up for it. Oh and the spirit bending shit at the end was a bit hamfisted but eh, not a make or break critique.

"As yOu KnOw, I CoNdUcTeD a RaId oN thE GrEaT LiBrarY..." 'As you know' is one of the laziest writing crutches that shows that the next piece of dialogue is only for the audience.

I was thinking about this earlier, when we re-watch a bad film, its so much worse because when we first watched we had a benefit of the doubt, or at least a blank slate, but after the first watch we see not only the extreme errors we noticed before, but new ones, worse ones, it just snowballs after that.

[@magnificentreality100]

@@verstamech Exactly, and im not sure if thats just bias that we build on, or if we just start finding the tiny stuff cause the rest is already so bad.

I mean I liked the movie a lot, the closeups were dramatic, and it was just book one so obviously the bending wouldn’t be that evolved yet. If there was a 2nd and 3rd movie you’d all love how good the bending gets. The name changes were necessary because it’s more faithful to the Chinese language, and if water benders need to be near water to bend it, and earth benders need to be on land to bend it, then it only makes sense fire benders need fire nearby. Honestly, the movie was pretty good, could it have been a little better? Yeah. I’d say 9.5/10 though :).

[@seanfarrand9167]

I think he made 1 or 2 ok scripts and had a lot of help making them into ok movies. It also helped that movies in general were not great at the time. After, since he got super famous, they fully gave him the reins during production. That allowed him to show just how bad he was at every part of making a movie. The only reason he can continue to make movies now is because people pay to see the next dumpster fire he had created, and because once you make it far enough in Hollywood you can make enough friends to just forever get a pass.

I consider DBEvolution as an Alternative Universe. It's like how GT was made Non-Canon. It didn't really happen that way, but rarely a movie follows an Anime/Manga/Book exactly. Also it did state "(Based) on the Dragonball series by Akira Toriama" So it's based on but doesn't follow the story exactly.

[@thejarjarexp2147]

It’s interesting. Dragonball Evolution is what happens when an adaptation strays so far from the original source material that it loses the soul of the thing being adapted. The Last Airbender on the other hand is what happens when an adaption focuses solely on recreating moments to appeal to people’s nostalgia that it loses the soul of the thing being adapted. Both manage to be some of the worst adaptations of all time with completely different adaptation strategies
