Night Shyamalan to Indie Movies Online: "You're coming at me, the one Asian filmmaker who has the right to cast anybody I want, and I'm casting this entire movie in this color blind way where everyone is represented. I even had one section of the Earth kingdom as African American, which obviously isn't in the show, but I wanted to represent them, too! And I fought like crazy to have the pronunciation of the names to go back to the Asian pronunciation. So you say 'Ahng' instead of 'Aaang' because it's correct. It's not 'I-rack,' it's 'ee-Rock.' I'm literally fighting for all this. And who's getting blamed? ME! This is incredible. And so it's infuriating, this stigmatization, that the first word about the most culturally-diverse movie of all time is this accusation. And here's the irony of it, this has nothing to do with the studio system. I had complete say in casting. So if you need to point the racist finger, point it at me, and if it doesn't stick, then be quiet."

Any other exposition can be given by Aang, or other characters with regular coversational dialogue, perhaps one flashback. No title scrolling or out of place monologues needed.

To be fair, the pronunciation of "Yin and Yang" was correct. Something the showrunners did in TLA, and which Shyamalan went on record as saying he wanted to avoid, was Americanizing the pronunciations of words to make them more easily digestible for a Western audience. He was hoping to make it sound more authentic. Of course they then went and made the Inuit-inspired Water Tribe white and the traditionally-pale and pseudo-Japanese Fire Nation Indian, so I guess authenticity wasn't that fucking important.

Chronos it’s because of two things. 1) the architecture and 2) the style of governing. They all speak the same language but fire is based on Japan. Even I noticed this. Hell they actually look Japanese. (Which is really hard to do and is about the only one to actually make their appearance asain not just a white person in Asia). Also some dark skinned ppl do have blue eyes. So it’s possible that they used that for their appearance. Also they bend water. Being technical isn’t exactly a strong point with the show. But they are based on Inuit culture. Specifically those from Canada i believe. So it actually fits. The reason they all speak Chinese is because it was most likely easier for all four nations to speak the same language than making four different languages and deal with language barriers.

I’m surprised the Guard doesn’t even know that he’s the Avatar considering he’s an air bender, the only one left that the Guards own people Committed Genocide on.

[@shock226]

masterzombie161 plus does he not notice the tattoos

If the firebenders needed fire and couldn’t produce their own why didn’t the water nation just put out the fires in their city to make it harder for the fire nation?? Why is every torch and brazier and etc. still lit

At 10:53 the actor speaking is Aasif Mandvi, also known for playing MR. AZIZ IN SPIDER-MAN 2. Joe’s Pizza 29 minute guarantee lives on!

[@mr.moviemafia]

Stephen Sibilia OH SHIT!!!

[@kevinprehm]

I FUCKING KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR

[@rockyreyes8589]

Kevin Prehm SAME!!!

[@nicholson2054]

Joe’s 29 minute guarantee is a promise man. I know to you, Ozzai, a promise means nothing, but to me it’s serious.

[@threethej_rock]

PIZZA TIME 🙌

“The Last Airbender is the Worst Thing We’ve Seen So Far” Cats: Here’s a little lesson in trickery.

[@quinnciqwothers1975]

Cats is funny and baffling, avatar tla (movie) is so fucking boring

[@aarongeoghegan2161]

BSJ IN YO HOUSE seen both and avatar angered me way more

[@jeremiahvaleska8464]

BSJ IN YO HOUSE this is going down in history...

[@michaelstrong5383]

Cats is an unintentional mess. Last Airbender is an intentional disaster.

[@nicodemusedwards6931]

Jeremiah Valeska if you wanna be bad movie number one...

[@DainnGreywall]

How could you possibly skip your reaction to the best scene in the movie?! the 6 person choreographed rock floaty moment deserves to be reacted to in every video about this god awful movie Also fairly sure that M. Night did not have free reign on this movie, the casting for Sokka and Katara were already planned by executives I believe, Katara being the daughter of a producer if I recall correctly (I might be wrong, been ages since I researched this trainwreck... I just know that M.Night's hands were tied in a lot of places)

[@kevinprehm]

That is true, but he still failed If these people were directed well with a good script, it wouldn't have been as noticeable

[@appelofdoom8211]

That doesn’t excuse the weird cuts or the awful directing.

[@ewout2763]

What movie? They were commenting on a blank screen all the time right? After all, there is no avatar the last Airbender movie.

[@noblechief4023]

They watched the movie on tv or something the. They synced the scenes with there reactions with editing.

[@itsdani__]

Apparently the scene with Zhao and Ozai in the throne room was shot inside a school gymnasium because they spent the majority of the production budget on the northern and southern water tribes. You can tell by the obvious basketball lines on the shiny wooden floor.

[@belisauriusfish9406]

Two things I don’t hate about this movie: how they adapted aang’s tattoos, because I’m not sure the blue lines would have translated well to reality, and the fact that some of the firebenders were bowing alongside the waterbenders after aang went into the avatar state. Shame the rest was... bad

[@cjkalandek996]

I also thought James Newton Howard's musical score was pretty good.

[@Tusisvrivhing]

Imao, as a kid, the score tricked me into thinking the movie was good somehow. I only realized how hated it was years later. Fun fact; katara in this movie is the current wife of Brooklyn Beckham, son of David Beckham.

[@tehdipstick]

Movie: *reveals Ozai's face early on, then spends the rest of the time trying to hide it until the last scene* Also, let's not forget that Shyamalan was still trying to get a sequel made right up until the live action Netflix show was announced in 2018.

[@maurreese]

😲🤯

[@Savetheseas7]

For real?!

[@tehdipstick]

@@Savetheseas7 Yep. I have no idea if he planned to recast all the younger characters or what, considering the original actors would have been too old by 2018, but he talked about how he was still planning the sequel and having people work on a script just a month or so before the Netflix show was announced.

[@yggnggv3519]

What Netflix show there’s no way there’s a live action show

[@jamiegreyy]

13:53.. The actor for the Fire Lord actually had a decent voice. We were all waiting on his words engaged.. And then of course it gets ruined with a 'YES'. 😂

[@belisauriusfish9406]

I feel like that’s the saddest part about this thing. Occasionally, I’ll see something I think is interesting, or even potentially good, but the rest is so bad that it’s not worth it.

[@cass7448]

@@belisauriusfish9406 Costuming was nice. Music was decent. It actually hit most of the essential plot points from the show. If only the writing, directing and pacing was minimally competent it could have been an okay movie.

[@hilosky]

It's weird because that one scene portrayed Ozai like he was in the show, with his face never shown to make him more intimidating. This whole film would've been better if he was like that this whole way through

[@TheJege12]

And the "myeaaaa" reaction afterwards is perfect BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE XD

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@hilosky I don't think it was to make him more intimidating, it was to make him mysterious. Similar to how the Harry Potter books only had Voldemort appearing as an echo or a manifestation until he finally made a direct appearance in the fourth book. Though must admit that I was a little disappointed how underdeveloped Ozai was. Had they fleshed out more of his personality and his motive (beyond "for glory and because Sozin said we're the best"), his defeat would've had more impact.
