I feel really bad for Dev Patel and Noah Ringer especially because in a different timeline and with a better script and direction, they could have genuinely been good in their roles. Noah actually has so many Aang like qualities if you watch him behind the scenes, but so much of that was lost due to bad script and dialogue and direction. And Dev is easily one of the most talented actors who is wasted in a script that gave him little nuance or range. There is so little either could do with this bad of a script and direction.

I'm SO glad you brought up James Newton's mind-blowing score, as it means I have FINALLY figured out why that giant wave scene near the ending connected so much with me when I saw this in theatres, and why it's stuck with me so long. Tragically (lol), I saw this movie before I saw the series, so while I remember being like "why are there white kids in what appears to be an Inuit village," I didn't understand the level of problematic this movie was until I watched the series. As a massive fan of the series now, I feel a sense of shame when I think of that giant wave scene because a part of me has preferred it to the spirit-destruction scene in the show, despite not having seen the movie since it came out. This could be the wrong take, but I think there is beauty and so much power in showing your enemies the power and control you have, without actually using it to defeat them, and after the pathetic bending in the movie, the power to make a fu*king gigantic wave seemed epic. But it's the MUSIC in that scene specifically that makes it seem so moving and profound, and I somehow overlooked that. How many movies out there would be half (or less) of what they are without the score?

Ok, In the movies defense: 1. We were all way to rough on Noah Ringer. He quit acting because of all the hate. 2. Noah did what was in the script. It’s not his fault. It was bad writing. 3. I actually liked the air bender tattoos from the movie way more than the ones from Netflix. 4. I don’t get this Oong hate thing that much. I am German and the name was always Aang here (but voiced Oong) so it wasn’t really an issue. But I get it. The show was originally American (I think) and it was English pronunciation so that can throw people off. However, it wasn’t an issue anywhere. Maybe try watching the German synchro a bit to understand what I mean. It was always exactly pronounced the same way as in the movies. 5. I didn’t find (and still to this day) the CGI that bad. For 2010 I think it’s alright. Yeah, that Little Rock (for a group of earth benders) was a bit wacky but especially the water bending I actually enjoyed. 6. In the Netflix adaptation Katara is also not dark skinned.

[@RedLeif1]

What I always enjoy is there's part of a scene that "Katara" talks over that they mostly took out when she's talking about taking back Earth Kingdom villages from the Fire Nation. The full scene was deleted. In that scene the villagers celebrate by doing the most generic native dance you could think of. Makes me laugh every time.

Everyone gets this movie wrong. It wasn't an adaptation of the show. It was an adaptation of the recap episode from the show.

[@Haruroot-o7j]

Sad we couldn't get to see buff toph 😞😞

[@emilflarsen2]

The writers of Netflix' The Witcher is doing exactly what M. Night did. They admitted to purposefully going against the IP because they thought they could do it better. It didn't have anything to do with artistic choice or comprimises, they are just that narcissistic and unaware.

bruh the footsteps on snow was killing me lmfaoooo

[@nirupama_s_rao]

Can I just say, you have a beautiful voice? That audition scene was soo good. 💝

[@marktessendorf4953]

I don’t know what you were watching. I just got back from Lake Laogai and while I was there, I learned there is no live action ATLA.

[@j.manning_YT]

I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE SCRIBBLES 🤯🤯 After all this time, I hate this movie sooooooo much more than when I 1st saw it. Great commentary

[@DaytimeMoon09]

I love seeing that I’m not the only one who thought it was chaos and not great 😂 also I love you so much girl you always make me laugh ❤

[@Frantasticfrxine]

Mikaila loving Hp pjo and Atla I think I found my new fave KZbinr to watch

[@AlephSharp]

The other good thing, aside from the soundtrack, is Princess Yue's actor, who later played Asami in LoK

[@Kaltagstar96]

I mean, I can't really give Noah Ringer too hard of a time because I heard that he had never taken an acting lesson in his life before this movie and, holy shit, Dev Patel deserved so much better than to be in this movie.

[@kushjoshi1310]

I felt “what in the Emma Stone” on a deeply emotional soul touching moment.

[@yourlocalgem]

its my birthday today so im taking the new netflix adaptation as a late birthday present

[@emmahansen7005]

Percy Jackson, The Last Airbender and Dragon Ball Evolution were my triple combo of realizing as a child that movies could be bad, actually

[@zoeturcotte7002]

This is mean me the movie is a masterpiece of the masterpiece movie ever this is insane but I think I am the only one who loves the movie ever in the world and it’s frustrating because the movie deserves better than bad criticism and hates because many peoples are so unopened to new stuff and new stories whenever and it’s just frustrating because I am a huge fan of ATLA but I love the movies and the show equally and now with the 2024 live action version of ATLA this is the best masterpieces Series and movie ever in the world for Percy Jackson I have the same feelings as ATLA but for Dragon Ball evolution I agree

[@gabrielgiorgi7332]

The thing is we've already seen how a modern day netflix Avatar would look with Dragon Prince and, even though its pretty good, they took what Avatar would have told in 2 maybe 3 seasons and turned it into 6. That's not even including the limitations of life action CGI technology which is ever escalating but will never beat the animation. Therefore, unlike with One Piece where they were actually able to improve the pace and trade realistic, strong acting in a more realistic setting, the Avatar remake will likely worsen the pacing or at best keep it the same and will have to reconcile trying to make realistic a world that is intentionally made to be fantastical and cartoony. To give credit, I do think they are right that they can make an improvement on Sokka's misogynic tendancies but what a graveyard of Ls to attempt to face to fix one problem. I hope new kids like it is all i can say

[@tamisum]

Best part of going to see this movie in the theater (in Jamaica) was the National Anthem and the put on your 3d glasses Rio clip.... I dont remember anything else 😅

[@anixara9]

The Jesse McCartney bit made me start wheezing ngl

[@caonum]

love that M night wanted the names to sound more "authentic" but replaced the ACTUAL CHINESE in the opening with scribbles

[@Heroshii15]

I believe it came out a few years after this movie that Katara's actress was a nepo baby, and her casting caused a bit of a chain reaction, i.e. Katara is white, so her brother and grandmother would have to be as well. Still doesn't explain the casting choice for Aang or the original choice for Zuko.

[@rachelclaw]

I have never watched more than the earthbending clip before, and I'm lowkey upset that I watched this video because every single clip hurt lol

[@gargrayson51824]

Oh you brave soul! Godspeed! I got through that movie once - never again!

[@Cailus3542]

Mikaila, please, self-harm is never the answer, not even for content. Remember that you are precious and loved. You don't need to subject yourself to this kind of trauma. Too many wonderful ATLA fans have already suffered.

[@ChristyA17]

you made me wheeze and cackling throughout this video lmaoooo

[@kyuuliexo]

i haven’t seen your channel before today, and this was fun to listen to and watch😂 but i was really anticipating watching the movie alongside you. i checked the length of your video too late and realized that this wasn’t a watch with me at all like i expected. funny video nonetheless!!❤

[@toefutaco]

Mikaila you are a comedic genius and I hope you know that

[@peachymin1404]

I love the conclusion about the bar =)))))) so funny =)))) watching you rewatching Avatar 2010, especially now that the ATLA Netflix is confirmed to be renewed for season 2, 3; really hope that I see my girrl Toph cuz the 2010 is so bad I never get to see a Toph live action

[@lo_quat]

My dad and I had a daddy daughter date and went to go see this movie when it first came out… we definitely bonded… Over how awful it was

[@Tk-nf2xd]

I love your wall decorations

[@dittomoth]

My family has deemed it as a 'family show' night so I couldn't help but contrast and compare the cartoon to the show and bite my tongue to not say anything when my dad and sister are so excited to watch it 😭😅

[@raindeer9787]

5:00 "WE HAVE THE POWER GOD AND ANIME ON OUR SIDE"

[@liamr4117]

Pretty much the only redeeming quality is the bending effects are pretty decent

[@emilflarsen2]

I will never forgive M. Night for this

[@emma_horseriding]

Can't wait for your reaction to the Netflix's live action!

[@praecantrix]

thank for suffering for us so we don't have to! zuko is a PAB in this movie. 🤣

[@umangsheel7819]

The fact that I liked this as a child-
