wtf is the last airbender movie... 

fun fact: the director said the actor for aang has an "asian quality" to him 2nd fun fact: they removed the real chinese spelling from the intro and put in random scribbles 3rd fun fact: the director said that all the changes were made to make everything more "authentic" to asian culture

You sacrificed your souls

Netflix’s avatar may not be as amazing as the animated series, but I know we can all agree that Netflix’s version is far better than this garbage of a movie 😆 Animated version - a work of art Netflix version - pretty decent And the movie? - garbage

The way they mispronounce Aang's name is painful on a spiritual level. And then Shyamalan's goes and says it's better that way? Everything about this movie is just an absolute mess.

the 5 man pebble launch to this day always makes me die from laughing, easily the best part of this movie by far

Fun fact, the Kyoshi warriors were actually in this movie as a deleted scene, right after the terrible earth bender camp fight

The animated series: "They lock the earth benders in a wooden/metal boat in the middle of the sea so that they do not use their element to fight or even escape" The movie: They put earth benders on earth fields XD

I think it just shows how much of a fan of the show M. Night is that he decided to make an entire movie based on the Ember Island Players episode.

DEAD PAN FACE....the girl who played Katara is actually the producers daughter who got the character because of her dad.

I love how M Night literally doubles down anytime someone asks him about this movie. His answer is basically like " people are too stupid to understand my vision" or some nonsense it's insanely unhinged. 😂😂😂😂

Ruff: You know... Maybe its a _good_ thing they changed their names..? Boom: Like witness protection?? Now that's a knee slapper lmfao.

I feel so bad for Dev Patel bc they hired him to play zuko right after his Oscar win from Slimdog Millionaire. He said this role and film really f’d up his mentality bc of how much harassment he got 😢

Fun fact the girl that plays Yue also voices Asami in Legend of Korra

6 earthbenders moving a small rock is still one of the funniest shits i've ever seen in a disaster film

It literally makes NO sense to change firebending to require a fire source. That's part of how they were able to take over, water and earthbenders need a source, and airbenders technically do as well but that's everywhere. Shyamalan firebenders would be every other element's bitch if anyone in this movie actually had braincells and just put out fires.

The mispronunciation of Aang hurts my soul…

That one rock floating after an intense bender move will always be hilarious. 😂

In the original, Toph fits into the group so naturally that people always forget that first half of the show didn't have her at all.

I never watched this but I swear the guy who plays Sokka is the same as who plays Jasper in Twilight cos the dead stare is real I looked it up....and yes it is him

Fun fact, all the indoor shots of the throne room and fire Nation capital were shot in a LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL GYM ROOM they dressed up with cosmetics instead of you know... Using their massive budget Once you know it you can't unsee it either

"Are you the Awwvatar Awwng?"

YOU FOOLS! YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK THE TIME THAT YOU WASTED TO WATCH THIS! 😭

The earthbenders "trapped" in the rock quarry is like putting Popeye inside a spinach factory and expecting him to not be able to escape. DX

46:05 "On a positive side-" "It's over."

Fun fact: M night Shyamalan, said he was a fan of the series. He watched it with his daughter and this is what he gave us. This is what he did to the show he liked. How? And he got defensive and said fans didn’t understand the movie. Like this dude is in complete denial. How did this get released? Why did nobody stop them? Did they learn nothing from dragonball evolution release when nobody liked how much they changed?!

Fun Fact: The director wasn’t even FINISHED watching the animated series when he started producing… he hadn’t even started watching the final season yet!

The Netflix adaptation had flaws, but wasn't nearly as bad as this movie

If you guys pay attention, you can see the light leave their eyes in real time as they watch the film.

I think that rampage bit is the perfect summation of how it feels watching this movie. You are straight up begging your screen to have something entertaining or impactful happen, and the movie itself says no

Fun fact: this movie is so bad it actually almost killed me. I was watching this movie at home and the bending was so bad I snorted and inhaled a piece of hotdog I was eating. I almost choked and no one was there to help because my mom was asleep.

I love how the whole internet hates this movie

When this was released in theaters I had a 1st date with a girl who was a huge Avatar fan. Maybe 20mins in I fell asleep and when I woke up the movie was unfortunately still playing but she was asleep too and most of the theater had left.

Earthbenders TRAPPED in a QUARRY

They made this movie instead of Azula's redemption arc

They fail to even get the names right... But have such in depth lore that Hama is name dropped in the southern WaterTribe

You torture yourselves for our amusement and I salute you. This movie is hot garbage. The acting, the writing, the infamous Earthbending scene, the butchering of names just why

"Everything changed when the TORCHBRINGER attack. But then again, Their most formidable opponent within those 100 years was the kingdom of Earth TikToker"

I mean, for me, Aang's name being mispronounced is not the most scary thing, since this is exactly how his name is pronounced in my language, but Iroh is a different story

Honestly it kinda makes me sad the actor playing "Ahng" quit acting cause I can't help but wonder if the hate got to him. Like I honestly don't blame the actors for the movie especially the child actors. They were just doing what they were hired to do so I'm really hoping he didn't suffer from online and/or real life bullies for the movie and that led to him quitting acting. I hope he's doing well.

16:36 Avatar Kyoshi was a true gamer.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Boom laugh that hard before, you get occasional instances but during the Earth Bender “fight,” even though it was painful to watch it, at least he was having fun watching how terrible it was

You three need a little visit to Lake Laogai

Something I’ve noticed in these live actions are they seem to never be able to make water bending look like it hurts when you get hit with it. It always just looks like splashes

my dad told me this movie felt like that episode where they all went to a play and saw people playing them in the show.😂

Sometimes the way they mispronounce the names just feel like their purposefully doing it just to get on fan's nerves. The Bending in this movie is also hilariously stupid like they did all that synchronised dancing just to throw one rock. Honestly the only decent thing about this movie was probably the actor for Iroh and Dev Patel as Zuko who did the best he could do at such a young age and with such a bad script

I was just seeing something like 2 days ago that the actor who played Aang actually loved the show and was very excited to do this, but afterwards he was getting a lot of hate mail and I think even death threats which drove him away from acting.

As soon as I saw this pop up on my notifications I bursted out laughing 🤣🤣🤣

I remember watching this in the theater with my mom and her girlfriend. As soon as the credits rolled, dead silence...except for my mom, going, "WHOO! YEAH! Good movie!" or something like that. That alone made everything else worth it - well, that and the Earth Kingdom Dance Troupe.

"I just pronounced it correctly" The fuck dude, it's base don a fictional world...What was he smoking when he made this movie seriously?

I hate how this film's "canon" made firebending the shittiest bending style by not having any of the firebenders create fire. The entire reason why firebending in the cartoon is so scary is because they have basically infinite ammo and it can be used at any time anywhere. But by relying on an existing fire source, like the other benders, you make firebenders useless. Air is everywhere, water is everywhere, earth is everywhere, but not fire. What happens when the fire source gets extinguished, or the firebender gets too far away from it? They're fucked. Imagine the logistical nightmare that would be the airbender genocide in this film. Did the Fire Nation army just bring thousands of tortches with them up those mountains? Fire doesn't just occour naturally like water, so if you're a firebender caught out in the rain, you're automatically dead because your fire source - which your fighting ability is entirely dependant on - is rendered useless. Any random waterbender just wins automatically by dropping a wave on a bunch of Fire Nation soldiers. How does the war even happen in this world, let alone how is the Fire Nation "nearing victory?" I have some serious concerns about the congative health of the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom leaders and generals.

This movie is soo bad but I have to say the hair on princess Yue looks 1000 times better in this movie than that awful wig in the netflix show 😂

Ah yes, the big ball of ice under the other ice, must be a Fire Nation trick

The bit where Eeroh and Zuko are testing Ong using a candle, a rock, and water is interesting How the elements behave around him without him doing anything, I don’t think that was on the show It’s a little cool

ever since i watched the razzle crew getting drunk and watching this (they were pranking someone by pretending it was james cameron's avatar) i can't see the interrogation scene with zhao without hearing him talk about blue nipples

12:30 i like how mr. azis from spiderman (the pizza man) plays zhao in the movie 🤣

28:20 I read a cool theory online, that because Aang was frozen for 100Years the Cycle of Avatars went a bit of Balance. And from Korra we know the Avatar is a Spirit. So Yue was suppost to be the next Avatar, but Aang was still alive. So she needed another Spirit instead of the Avatars to live, thats why she became the moonspirit. So it is a correction of the Balance and wouldn´t upset it :^)

I'm also easily entertained, but this is one of two movies I left the theater mad at. The only reason i didn't walk out during is because i spent money on drink and popcorn with the ticket. Maleficent is the only other movie I was that upset at. Dragon Ball: Evolution i managed to enjoy with how stupid it was. This movie is just insulting.

So proud you braved through this! I am 100% convinced Shamalamadingdong absolutely HATES the show and/or never watched it cause he thought it seemed stupid and made this movie to showcase how little he cares about it. Him insulting the way the show pronounces the names and makes this huge claim of using the "correct pronunciation" has given me this impression. Like he truly thinks he did it better. The pronunciations, the story, the characters. I truly hope I'm wrong cause if I'm right, then that just makes me angrier at him for not only making this piece of sh*t of a movie but actually thinking it's better than the series.

I know from somewhere that the reason they changed the pronunciations of their names is because they're trying to have them be pronounced "authentically" like how most Asians would pronounce their names in most Asian languages, which is the region or the continent of the world where ATLA also took a lot of inspirations from in a lot of things in the Avatar World. I am a Filipino from the Philippines, and if you'll just give me their names spelled out in Latin/Roman script and the English alphabet, without telling me how they're pronounced, or how should or how they're supposed to be pronounced in English, and with just my knowledge of some languages I use and speak here in and from the Philippines, and also my limited knowledge of their usual or common and native pronunciations and also of the other languages of the Philippines and of Southeast, East and South Asia, I would also most likely or most probably pronounce them like or similar to how they were pronounced here in this "movie that shall not be named". But the problem in this is they were trying to be and sound more "authentically" Asian with or in the pronunciations of their names, even though in most Asian languages, nowadays, their pronunciations would also just be directly borrowed or adopted from their original English pronunciations from the original animated series, and they would also just be pronounced the same or most similarly with their original English pronunciations from the same series, with less to no huge differences, and with only a few to some slight or minor differences in more specific pronunciations and accents, depending on the Asian languages' more indigenous, local, or native pronunciations, accents, intonations, and/or also tones that fits or suits their own individual languages' phonologies, and even though they're fictional fantasy names that already had long-established and widely and commonly known, agreed, and accepted pronunciations of their names from the original animated series, that a lot of fans love and are used to pronounce, based on their original English pronunciations from the same series. Ex. If I would pronounce their names in Filipino and/or Tagalog and also Chavacano from the Philippines, and using the more native, local, and/or indigenous Filipino and/or Tagalog and also Chavacano pronunciation of names, I would pronounce them as the following: Aang = would be pronounced either as "Ahng" with a longer "ah" sound or as "Ah-ahng" with the double a's pronounced seperately, instead of pronouncing it as, like, or similar to "Ehng". Katara = would be pronounced the same or similarly as "Ka-ta-ra" but with the tap "r" sound or an "r" sound that's slightly rolled or thrilled for the letter "r", similar to the Spanish single "r" sound, instead of like in most of the English pronunciations of the letter "r". Sokka = would be pronounced as "So-ka" and not "Sah-ka", "Suh-ka", "Saw-ka", "Sahw-ka", "Suhw-ka", "Soh-ka", "Sow-ka" nor "Sohw-ka". So, it's also not the same pronunciation as in the movie, either. Iroh = would be pronounced as "Ee-ro" with a longer "ee" or longer "i" sound, instead of an "ahy" sound for the "I-" syllable of his name, and the "-roh" syllable of his name would be pronounced as "ro", instead of "raw", "rahw", "ruw", "ruhw", "roh", "row", nor "rohw", and also with the tap "r" sound or an "r" sound that's slightly rolled or thrilled for the letter "r", similar to the Spanish single "r" sound, instead of like in most of the English pronunciations of the letter "r". Also, sometimes the final letter "h" in the "-roh" syllable of his name is sounded or pronounced as an "h" sound, or even as a "k" sound or as a strong or hard "g" sound, as an aspirated, airy, or breathy "kh" or strong or hard "gh" sound, or as a stronger or harder "h" sound pronounced from the back of the mouth or from the throat, with the latter one being similar to or ranging from the sound of the Spanish letter "j" to the sound of the French letter "r", or the other the same or similar sounds in Hebrew and Arabic, but it's usually or commonly not pronounced, and is just left as a silent "h".

I find it funny that in this movie where everyone talks so slowly that Iroh talks the quickest, where in normal Avatar its the inverse

15:02 if the subsequent ones were to be made, that is probably how Toph’s name would’ve been pronounced.

Kind of unrelated but I LOVE the memes and editing you are able to do with this new setup you guys have 😂 we didn't get that when you were all remote. Best decision ever to start doing these reactions together physically!

I feel like the only way to enjoy this movie is to be just flat out drunk...you gotta numb yourself before going into this hot mess

You can combine what every single earth bender did in this movie and it'll still amount to less than what that one random earth bender did at the start of the Netflix show.

I still can't believe they changed the metal ship to just being on the ground. Literally the whole reason they didn't have hope was because there was no earth to bend

Worst movie you've seen? Son of the mask would like to speak with you.

I like how the black fish just became useless

oh it's the WORST! it's nearly 2 hours of my life at the theatres that i will never get back and every time they put it on tv, i REFUSE to watch it again. i'll watch paint dry before watching this, at least the paint will be better quality. the ONLY reason i watched it here, is just to see everybody's reaction to it. so much more entertaining ^^

Zuko didn't know Katara's name until the secret koy fish temple in the North Pole. That's how disrespectful this movie is.

ya'll losing it at the the guys doing a whole routine to move a small rock is HILARIOUS LMAO

It's funny for me cause I actually watched this movie BEFORE even knowing there was the cartoon it was “based of” XD I found out about it 6 years later. Imagine my confusion when I heard everyone saying Aang instead of Ong when I started the series. THIS movie was what introduced the series to me in a way XD

The only two things that they nailed it: Sokka's using his boomerang for fighting Princess Yue looks closely like Princess Yue AND THAT'S IT!!! and this is me being generous

Fun fact: In the German dub of the animated original Aang and Iroh are pronounced exactly like that (or let's say close enough)

I don't wish this on my worst enemy

This was so painful to experience. It is a definite reminder how much we feared the new live action would flop.

I can barely remember this film, but one thing that I never understand was why fire benders needed a fire source to be presence in order for them to bend (camp fire, torches already lit etc.), rather than them being able to create the fire themselves much like we see in the a̶n̶i̶m̶e̶ cartoon… does anyone know what I mean???

so when i was dating my daughter's mother 16 years ago, she was personal friends with the Aang actor. I never turned down the opportunity to meet a celebrity until him

It was mentioned at the end of the reaction, but yeah...in comparison with a live action TV series vs. a movie adaptation, you'll have more time to flesh things out. Trying to cram an entire season into one movie for any animated series is pretty much impossible. Like this movie has several, several issues, but to me the thought of trying to re-tell Book 1 in one movie is something that can't be done.

They did the names wrong on purpose to mimic south east asian/sanskrit pronunciation, because the show’s pronunciation is western-based which I don’t mind because it is technically a western show 😂 I think it was Shyamalan’s attempt on being woke at the time.

The group of guys doing the Bollywood dance in synch just so they can move 1 small rock in slow mode will never not be funny.

gotta do the eggscellent challenge now that your all together

Avatar fans reacting to the Avatar movie. OH this should be good. 😂

this is why i hate when people start avatar cause they're doomed to wash it down with this filth of a movie

WHAT!?! These people have legs?! People who react to stuff actually have legs!!!?!

First time I've seen them all in one room, and they chose to watch this atrocity. 😂

Here's what I think happened with the pronunciation. The original show took a bunch of Asian names and then gave them westernized spelling to avoid confusion for their primarily Western audience. The film crew looked at the spelling and decided to use "Asian" pronunciation on the westernized spelling, so they tried to correct for something that had already been fixed, and we got the bizarre names of the film.

The first time watching this you can tell some of the actors wasn't sure on the lines. For example I'm positive Katarra was supposed to ask Ong if he was the Avatar. Also the director admitted he's never even watched the animated series..

"What a complete and total waste of everybody's time" - Kid from Robot Chicken.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My 1 reaction when i watched this movie? -why Sokka looks constipated (even if i'm a fan of Jackson Rathbone but not there😑😑😑) -why the characters look so fade...even Uncle Iroh (my fave character❤) -where are the other characters? (No Bumi, no Jet, no Haru, no the Mechanist and his son...) - the creatures (they screwed Appa, they didn't even named Momo...) -the Blue Spirit really freaks me out😱 -the Spirit world (where the dragon spirit came from? Where are the giant panda, the avatars Kyoshi and Roku, the face stealer???) -the slow motion😴😴😴 it's like watching an indian serie with all the slow mo( i love hindi movies but not the slow mo) -the WORSE : the mispronounciation of the names🥴🥴🥴 So painful to watch this movie🤯🤯🤯

Even as a kid i was like why does it take that many earth benders to left that small boulder.

Seriously, this video my personal blessing rn. I've had an abysmal day but seeing this upload in my subcriptions gave me the motivation to get my favorite snack on my way home to enjoy while watching you guys roast the hell out of this movie

'there is no the last airbender movie in Bae Sin Sae' unfortunatly for us.... we're NOT in Bae Sin Sae.

I read that the actor for Aang actually played pranks and joked around a lot behind the scenes. He was just directed to be so emotionless, which is very disappointing.

"Put respect on the names of the Ong Gong!" 😂

5 people bending 1 rock is crazy 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much for doing this reaction :D, It was so funny and made my day XD

What confuses me is they tried to make the names to more phonetically accurate pronunciations seemingly because they thought that'd make them more authentic, right? I mean you can tell they did no research because that's a feature of languages like Japanese, Turkish, Mongolian and some others but it's not accurate at all to most Asian languages, especially not Chinese languages/dialects which the show draws lots of inspiration from. BUT WHY DID THEY PRONOUNCE AGNI KAI AS AGNI KI, IT'S ALREADY LITERALLY SPELLED AS AGNI KAI! PRONOUNCE OZAI AS OZI TOO WHY DON'T YA!

The only two things from this movie that I no joke actually like is how Aang's tattoo looks and how they killed off Zhao especially the latter cause I rather have him killed that way than just get taken by the koi Kaiju and end up in the spirit world. Like honestly those two things are the only thing that I liked about this terrible movie.

Yes, there was plan to make two additional movies, but considering how this IS hated by everyone in the fandom those ideas were scrapped.

That Boom laugh will be in my nightmares for years to come.
