@@caiomesquita268 I found an article in the Atlantic, but it appears to be written so the interview wouldnt have laughed as far as we know " The Charges Are Completely Unfounded, says director M. 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."

That just makes it worse

have You seen the behind the scenes? He doesn't needed to act .... He was Aang, but it was like everytime He was in front of the camera Shayamalan would point a gun to him and and say "Do any expression and I fuccing shoot You"

I don’t like sand..It’s coarse and rough, and irritating..and it gets everywhere.

Its weird how the actor has Anakin vibes with that line

I mean, at least the sand thing makes some kind of sense

And its especially weird considering the director is dark Skin so really weird choice

The fire nation in the movie is mostly Indian. The director is Indian. This feels too much like cronyism for my liking.

@@bleedingmasque.6193 There is also a very HUGE problem with colorism in India. Naturally darker skinned indians are considered "ugly", especially in the entertainment, beauty and fashion industry. No clue if it perseveres in indian communities outside India itself, but judging by this movie......I guess the rosy and pale actors being "heroes" and the "ugly" dark skinned actors being "villains" makes sense from a colorist's point of view -_-

Yea lmao. In the show, the water nation is based on the Inuits, the fire nation is based on the Japanese, the Earth benders are Chinese and the airbenders are Tibetan Monks.

@@DeadKraken but also judging by shamalon’s personality he could have just developed a severe case of monkey brain and been like “I wanna make the guys with cool fire powers look like me”

He’s not wrong, though…

@@datanotfoundpleasetryagain3559 He is wrong. The show is the source material of this fantasy world, the way things are said there are correct. It doesn't matter how they are pronounced in real life because it isn't real life.

@@enotsnavdier6867 It's confusing, I know. The way it's pronounced in real life vs. how the original show pronounced it vs. M. Night Shyamalan course-correcting that to make it more accurate. The way I see it, Shyamalan is just being respective to the dialects of the cultures that inspired the ones in the Avatar: TLA universe. Call me wrong, but at least I'm not offended by the change unlike many others. Sidenote: Marcus' comment on the pronunciation of yin and yang saying "You have to know it's wrong?" I know Marcus can be a pretty intelligent guy at times, but he's clearly not using his brain here. Just the usual case of generalization in American language paired up with foreign languages.

@@datanotfoundpleasetryagain3559 "Shyamalan is just being respective to the dialects and cultures" Then why are the waterbenders, based on Inuits, all white? Why is and the Airbender, which were based on Shaolin monks, white? Why are the firebenders, based on Imperial Japan, indian? It wasn't respect, he just didn't care about the source material in any way. Also, he's right about yang, it takes a quick Google search to show that it's pronounced Yang not Yong. Don't call someone out if you won't even make sure ur right

@@chickensox8318 You sure about that? First video I looked up and it was pronounced Yahng, not yayng. Yayng is one of those homogenized pronunciations that English-speaking people made up. Also about that casting thing, I forgot about that. You got a good point there.

This is really good and it will make others feel good when they get it.

They cut Koh out of the film, so he hung around the set ready to steal anyone’s face. They couldn’t get rid of him so they just had to work with it.

I see your point, but I find that I like the original better. Maybe it's that all the small details are just a bit too much?

​@@warrioroflight6872 I think in the original show, that detail would have been too much. For this movie though, I definitely agree that was a neat change

Can't polish a turd I guess

@@TheRedowl101 I don't know. From what I've head about Star Wars 4 you can certainly polish a turd with good editing. So I wonder what happened with this editor.

To be fair, he had to cut 2 hours of M. Night jerking himself off out of the film.

To go from editing two of the best movies ever made (both from James Cameron) to this is staggering. I want to give the editor the benefit of the doubt and assume he's following M. Night's orders on how he wants his scenes done.

Jacob Marks there’s a great video explaining how the editing saved the first Star Wars movie, while showing many scenes George Lucas wanted to include that made no sense or moved the plot forward

Your interpretation of M(oron) Night’s name sent me

Really? I kinda remember an interview where he explains how much he loves the show

He watched the show with his kids and was the one to pitch the movie. He very much watched the series but still decided to change everything

Aang looks like hes 7

It’s so annoying as in the show they are only a year apart from each other.

Morfy ? Aang looks about 5

Jackson Rathbone was 24 while Nicola Peltz was 15.

@Rob Mike Huck "Avatar State! Yip Yip!"

But if that were the case, the movie would have been entertaining. In fact, it would have probably looked like what happened in Aang's sleep-deprived hallucinations.

Yin and Yung

His thing? He invented it. That's why he got the tatoos while he was still young, he had invented a new airbending technique, so he was a qualified Airbending Master.

@@theendersmirk5851 So it was litterally his thing.

@@mennograafmans1595 Yes, just to a whole other level than just using it a ton. I was more saying that if anything, calling it "his thing" is an understatement.

The movie takes away all personality

@@Chronicpatchkids more accurately, it puts their characters as the opposite of themselves. Aang was happy he left the monastery, but scared out of his mind at literally every other moment. Sokka is a guy they forgot to write's personality, instead of a combo between amazing planner, and goofy tag along. Katara I'd the one who learns water bending easier than Aang, and is always calm instead of getting angry all the time during the first season. So, to summarize, we have a scared child, a block of wood, and a lady who for some reason only speaks to deliver exposition, and to act calm. So the opposite of the animated ones. I swear, the best way to deal with this movie is just to say it is a showing of the ember island version of these events, and retcon from there.

This actually made me laugh out loud and choke on my toothpaste It was so freaking awkward the break and the cut had perfect comedic timing

I'm imagining a teleprompter

Like Marcus said, this entire movie feels like it was made in one shot.

I actually think Zhao just went to roll a cigarette and then came back later

But also, he made the choice to not blink even once after he asks that. I mean, that had to be on purpose. No one blinks not at all by accident.

Its sad. Bc the kid Playing aang isn't doing that bad of a job. Just bad directing

@@userloser4553 tbh he was a white kid playing an Asian character so he was gonna get hated on anyways

Its a shame because they probably thought an M. Night Shyamalan blockbuster would boost their career, not end it

I mean, the girl white washing Katara got into one of the Transformers movies. But every role that she plays just gets fucked over

I know the actress who played Yue went on to play Asami in Legend of Korra so there’s some redemption there.

And they pronounce it the same in the movie and in the show. So yeah, this one time there's no reason to get mad. One time!

@Bennett Onsager Right?! I honestly find this movie kind of fascinating for this reason.

They probably did and they were like “just cgi it out, it’s fine, we all make mistakes☺️”

For both fans of the show and those who have never seen it, this film sucks to the point you wonder how it got past the editing stage.

El Luech It feels like they were doing the Ember Island play but then tried to edit it to be serious

The editing alone kills me inside

@@trueblade3636 not the same thing whatsoever but nice try, dipshit.

@@trueblade3636 Poor argument, the Little Mermaid has no cultural analogue because she is literally a fish person created by Hans Christian Anderson. The races and people in the Avatar universe are direct reflections of real world cultures, Asian and Indigenous, and this film honoured none of that. Try and think critically about your sloppy false equivalencies.

@@trueblade3636 Why do you keep commenting that? No one cares about that movie. it'll make it's billion and noone will think about it again

To be fair I had a narly ass scar when I was young on my face and now people don’t notice it until I point it out or after a long time of knowing me. Scars fade over time. However this a movie, not real life, and you are completely correct.

@@ALY-xc7fl Also additionally, I don’t think a scar that big is just gone in 3 years

to be fair.... the scar is the least wrong thing with this movie..... this movie has way bigger problems than the scar

It should’ve looked more “burnt”

After watching Arcane go to great lengths to give realistic character designs... I just can't take a lot of media that tries to beautify characters seriously. Scars and injuries add so much to a character's presentation and memorability it seems insane to me that people try and cover them up in media.

I agree with everything but if ya are an uncool nerd like me and have listened to all the director talks over the episodes the fire nation is actually based on the three Kingdoms period of China

was looking for an explanation in the comment section - many thanks

@@paulrudd1483 Still their skin is supposed to be lighter than in the movie.

@@DeathKitta oh yeah most definitely, and the water tribe people shouldn't have been played by white actors, not sure why M.Night picked those guys since they barely act at all

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.

So, he doesn't like the Black-washing of The Little Mermaid Ariel

@@trueblade3636 the Little mermaid is based off of a folk tale so she can be whatever color the film makers want but in Avatar pretty much all water benders are black I mean it's fine to change the race but if you're basing it off of the show then they should stay true to their original character
