Did anyone here watch Forbidden Kingdom? The battle between the Money King and the Jade Emperor at the beginning of the movie was totally reminiscent of ATLA. The way the Emperor can "bend" space was totally like air-bending. I hope the ATLA live-action movie is somewhat like that.

Slightly off topic, but given that The Forbidden Kingdom's budget was $55M and had epic fight scenes, it should give people hope for the live action Dragonball with its $100M budget, as well as M. Night's Avatar. If they could do what they did in The Forbidden Kingdom with $50M, I can only mentally orgasm at what can be done with $100M.
Some popular movies with $100M budgets or less:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Speed Racer
National Treasure
The Fifth Element
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

I'm halfway through the third book now, and I have never watched a show so quickly before. I love all the characters, but Toph has to be my favourite. She is so...Badass.
I also like the humor in the show, Sokka is so funny xD

Nick got the show because of the good relationship between creators Mike DiMartino/Bryan Konietzko and Nick VP (at the time) Eric Coleman. Basically, Coleman pushed the show through and made sure that Mike and Bryan were allowed to create the show properly.
There are no leaked episodes at the moment. Episodes 101-311 have aired on television, and 312-315 has recently been released on DVD. These episodes can be watched at http://www.theavatarportal.org. The only "leak" at the moment is an infuriating goddamn book that was just released that is an adaption of the four-part series finale.

it looks like Sozins comet the book wasn't too good.
check out these reviews on amazon.
Dont' bother. Really., May 13, 2008-Stars-1-
By Twilight Reader (USA) - See all my reviews
Even keeping in mind that this is an adaptation of Avatar: the Last Airbender, and is aimed at the 8-12 set, this book is dull and poorly written. The first person narrative, intended to give the reader insight into the character's thoughts and feelings, comes off as just plain silly. "Oh boy, I can't believe this is happening...she's leaning in...she's kissing me!" Upon reading this, my 8-year-old promptly began to making gagging noises. Even worse were the interviews at the end, where the creators rather rudely snubbed a large population of their fans by calling them "kids" and making it seem as though they were enjoying a joke at the expense of their fandom. In all, this book was a waste of money, and if the cartoon follows this predictable storyline, it won't be worth watching. Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)

Obviously An Avatar Airhead Wrote This..., May 13, 2008
By Amanda Whipp "Kibitzer Triplet" (Western Maryland) - See all my reviews-Stars-3-
I think that the book could have been written better. In fact, the prose is so dull that it makes me think that I can write my own version of this fantastic story and do much better.
I've been a fan of Avatar for a very long time. I bought this book purely for spoilers, and though it did the job well, I found myself bored at the poor writing. I gave this book a three because it fulfilled its informational purposes (and gave me a free poster). But honestly, after July when the real episodes come on, I see this book going out of print.
yeah...so hopefully the actual episode's will be better.

July 2nd is kinda gay though in 3 years.

That'd be interesting.
By the way, this person -
Even worse were the interviews at the end, where the creators rather rudely snubbed a large population of their fans by calling them "kids" and making it seem as though they were enjoying a joke at the expense of their fandom. In all, this book was a waste of money, and if the cartoon follows this predictable storyline, it won't be worth watching.
...Is an idiot. I completely hope that this person is disappointed immensely by the finale and that she leaves the fandom completely. First of all Mike and Bryan are men in their 30's and many of these shippers are in their teens so calling them "kids" isn't completely out of place. The show has a young viewership, they're douchebags for acknowledging this? Not everyone is a mother of an 8-year old like she is. It's a Kids show damnit! "Joke at the expense of the fandom"?
I'm sorry but many of us are into the show for the story not imagined romances. The funny this is that it's not a predictable storyline...what you expect to happen takes an entirely different turn which makes room for unpredictability. This person is a pissed-off shipper with nothing better to do than make up a story about her 8-year who "started promptly gagging" upon reading the book. B.S.!
By the way I'm not defending the book, could give two hoots...But this person saw something that wasn't there and I have to call her out. So Ninja Of Destiny don't put your trust in any of these reviews, of course the finale will be much better.

She already knew going in that the book was aimed at the 8-12 year old set so what was she expecting? Although if Avatar fans just want it as a collector's item then that's Okay but she did go off into the same 'shipping nonsense that I saw once the spoilers hit the net. I don't remember anyone else complaining about that interview with M&B.
There comes an age where we stop reading Judy Blume books and go onto Catcher In The Rye. What genius was she expecting out of something from the Scholastic Book Club?

I'm really interested in watching this series, but i've been hesitant because of two things.
1. It's made by Nickolodeon, so it might be childish.
2. It's an cartoon by Americans, so there wont be much death/violence like in anime.
Can someone please tell me that i'm wrong in those two points? Because this actually looks pretty good.
1. Yes, it's made by Nickelodeon and yes, it's made for kids, but it's still worth watching!
2. Well, there isn't really much death and violence but they talk about death and dying and it isnt as "kid friendly" as most other cartoons.
If I were you I'd watch it. It has an interesting story, the characters are all awesome and you really start to love them and the character development is perfect! I'd say Avatar beats most ANIME's with it's character development!
It starts out pretty slow, and I think everything except the last 3 episodes in Season 1 was..meh, but after that it really gets awesome!

Dam I think Avatar will be M.Nights first movie without a twist at the end. Well hopefully there is no twist ment to surprize fans, and will probably only piss them off.
Well, Lady in the Water didn't have a twist. Of course, it was a movie entirely about what an unrivaled genius M. Night himself is, and how his vision is under assault by executives and distorted by critics. But above all, it's a love letter to himself cleverly disguised as an allegory about his own brilliant creativity.
The only problem is that he forgot that allegory is supposed to use people and things and actions to symbolize and represent other things and actions. He just made it blatant and unambiguous, right down to retaining himself as the brilliant writer character. :facepalm

Well technically since you weren't supposed to see the episodes until they aired in America, 10 episodes.
6 Episodes if you've seen The Boiling Rock 2-parter.\
By the way reading the Sozin's Comet adaptation really isn't a graphic novel as Tuarus said so it wouldn't be like reading the Naruto manga. It is a book with illustrations though.
Well technically since you weren't supposed to see the episodes until they aired in America, 10 episodes.
.
We weren't supposed to see them when they were airing on YTV or uploaded from a rogue video clerk; now that they're out on DVD, it's fair game. The question is whether Nick will air 312-315; I wouldn't put it past them to skip them.
July 14th is a Monday. Assuming that July 14th is still the return date, I think the likely scenario would be:
Monday, July 14: 312
Tuesday, July 15: 313
Wednesday, July 16: 314

Great news, everyone! The release date for the Book 3 box set has been revealed: September 16th. The DVD covers have always been exceptional, but the Box Set covers have been the best of the bunch, and this one does not disappoint:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.net/graphics/news3/Airbender-CompleteBook3.jpg
Godammit, that Ozai silhouette is cool. As usual, there will be five discs, with the four volumes that have already been released and an additional disc of extras. None of the extras have been announced, but expect the 2007 SDCC panel, in it's entirety, to be one of the extras, as Nick confirmed they taped it for DVD.
I'd love to see some commercials on there, because the commercial for the book 2 finale (219-220) was awesome, and was one of the videos that was unfortunately lost in the Viacom-Youtube scuffle.

As exciting to see the ad for "New episodes of Avatar for 10 straight weeks" Nick should have stuck to their old programming pattern of airing Avatar which was 2 episodes straight, take a week off, 2 episodes after that then 2 weeks off...so on and so forth.
To be honest it's still pretty awful but that 6 month wait between episode 11 and 12 is insane. By the time the series finale airs this whole season will have taken 10 months to complete. The announcement for a third season was made all the way back in July of 2006.

and healing
and sand bending
and blue fire.
Healing would be a correct, as others have said, blood, plant, and ice bending are just other forms of water control.
Sand is just another form of "Earth" consisting of minerals.
Blue fire is just normal fire, albeit hotter than a typical flame (red fire is the coolest, white fire is the hottest).
maybe weatherbending? or maybe he can pull a sith and use force choke by keeping the air out of the lungs
^ hmm, in theory a waterbender who is able to do blood bending could in fact manipulate weather.
Not really. They may be able to move clouds and make it rain, snow, or hail, but they couldn't control other aspects of the weather such as wind and lightning.
From a purely scientific standpoint, an Airbender could be able to control the weather. They can move the clouds and increase or decrease the updraft, making it rain or snow, etc. While the formation of lightning is still a mystery, it's known that lightning is created from particles rubbing together in the upper atmosphere (it has been a while though, I may be slightly mistaken). And of course, such things as hurricanes and tornadoes are obvious abilities of an Airbender (depending on skill).
I would like to think of a different sub-ability for an Airbender though since Weatherbending combines attributes from Waterbending and Firebending, which doesn't make it a wholly unique ability. If anything, Weatherbending should be an ability reserved for an Avatar.

Look at all the past Avatars, Roku spent like five years on each of the elements. Not to mention that Aang just started to firebend.

WGA Writer's Strike

Concluded: February 12, 2008.
Avatar: the Last Airbender
Number of episodes written during November 5, 2007 - February 12, 2008: Zero.
Episodes that aired during WGA Strike: The Runaway, The Puppetmaster, Nightmares and Daydreams, Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion, Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse, The Western Air Temple, and The Firebending Masters.
Reason no episodes have aired since then: Nick's run by people without brain stems.
Conclusion: Trippin' is you.

^^Thank you Jove.
But i cant remember was the climate controlling thing real, or just speculation? Because that would push Airbenders off the chart of badassery.

I think the most we saw was Aang and Katara messing with the clouds, so apparently not. Yet. :gar

Damn Nick, I'm tired of waiting.
On the bright side, I got my German friend hooked on Avatar. She blamed me for not working on her paper, as she was watching Avatar instead.:zaru
She's going to be awfully disappointed once she catches up and has to wait for the retarded corporate bureaucracy known as Nickelodeon.:notrust

Better now than later. Imagine the people who start watching and end up getting to watch the entire series? You know, the ones who unlike us, don't suffer months of Nick's bullshit.

Thought this might be of interest to some.
Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures previewed The Last Airbender at Licensing International Expo 2008 with writer/director M. Night Shyamalan and iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove in attendance. Here's the official announcement regarding the event:
Nickelodeon kicked off Licensing International Expo 2008 today at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center with star power, including a presentation by special guest M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Happening) and Nickelodeon Movies' and Paramount Pictures' executives, where attendees got a preview of Shyamalan's July 2, 2010, theatrical film in the making, The Last Airbender. Also at Licensing Show, iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove was on-hand to sign copies of the brand-new iCarly album, just released today, for show attendees who stopped by the Nickelodeon booth.
During the presentation for The Last Airbender, Academy Award®-nominated writer/director Shyamalan commented, "Casting has begun and we've seen thousands of kids. I believe we've found the next superstars." In recounting his excitement about the project and how he got involved, Shyamalan recalled, "I called up my agent and said I have a movie I want to do. We phoned Paramount and Nickelodeon, and told them that we think they have the next STAR WARS."
Shyamalan also discussed how he came to work on the Avatar film, crediting his daughter as his first introduction to the action-oriented series. "I sat down and watched four television episodes back-to-back with my kids. We were riveted. I said, 'This would make a phenomenal movie!' My wife said, 'This is the one you've been waiting for."
Cyma Zarghami, President of Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group, began the morning's presentation, touching on the strength of the Nickelodeon brand and future plans for the hit property. "We're tremendously excited about the growth potential as new audiences meet our hero in live-action form in The Last Airbender," she said. "[Nickelodeon] is developing initiatives to super-serve the show's hardcore super-fans in anticipation of The Last Airbender's premiere."
Also present were Paramount Film Group's President, John Lesher, and Paramount Pictures' Vice Chairman, Rob Moore, who voiced their anticipation of The Last Airbender. Both Lesher and Moore cited the film as "one of those rare event movies that moves audiences globally and ensures the franchise a long, prosperous future."
Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) President, Leigh Anne Brodsky, closed the presentation remarking about potential future Avatar licensing and merchandising programs. "We're especially optimistic about this movie's prospects given The Last Airbender's already rabid, global fan base. The Last Airbender is a living, breathing, organic brand that's poised to explode, [and] our strategy is to work with partners who want to authentically build the brand around the globe."
Following the Avatar presentation, attendees stopped by an exclusive CD signing by Miranda Cosgrove, star of Nickelodeon's tween live-action hit iCarly, which launches a consumer products line later this month. The series' first iCarly album hits shelves today and apparel, electronics and stationery will all become available at retail later this summer. iCarly follows a cast of characters on and off webcam as they create webcasts featuring everything from comedy sketches and talent contests to interviews, recipes and problem- solving. Kid viewers can interact with the TV characters at real-life companion website http://www.icarly.com.
NVCP also announced the debut of new product lines for Ni Hao, Kai-lan -- the first animated preschool series to incorporate Chinese culture and Mandarin Chinese language -- and Neopets -- the world's most youth-engaging virtual world and one of the stickiest on the web. Additionally, NVCP unveiled the first of many Slime! branded products, along with expansion programs for Nickelodeon's most popular characters including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, The Naked Brothers Band and Go, Diego, Go!.

Now that's good news, that guy, Shyamalan, he understands. I get the feeling he ain't gonna let us down. Not like Nick's airing schedule has, anyway.
As long as Miranda Cosgrove was there purely to sign CD's for her show and has nothing to do with this movie, I'm satisfied with that report. She and her other typical Nick actor and actress buddies need to stay on Nick and leave acting to people with talent
/end-rant
Seriously though, The Happening looks really good. I have hopes for this movie. It seems like it has a lot of potential

The movie sounds interesting enough, but I've got to see a sneak peek or something first.

Well of course, you're like any human being who is interested in a film. The sneak peeks will arrive soon enough. No one's going into this movie blind.

This guy's a complete fruitcake!
I know that this comic/magazine hurt all the Zutarians and it hurt me too at first. But after reading the journals of some very strong-standing Zutarians, I realized that this all fabricated and contains very little, if any, facts at all. I’m sure you are all aware that this is an ADAPTATION of the four-part finale and I’m not going to insult your intelligence by defining the word to you. So please, fellow Zutarians, please don’t give up on Zutara and try to see this magazine for what it really is: A Fake.
Hey, nutjob! It was approved by Nickelodeon! It has the Nick Seal on it! Avatar has a long history of episodes and other material getting released early(most of Season 3 being aired in england, the last eps of Season 2 being put on nick.com a week ahead of time...), or outright being leaked(Day of Black Sun). IT IS BEING FUCKING SOLD IN BOOKSTORES! If this is really an elaborate fake that has nothing to really do with Avatar, then why is the GODDAMN BOOK STILL BEING SOLD?! Nevermind the fact that most of the art in the books seem to be screenshots, if not based on actual storyboards!
Where are the cease and desist orders? The army of lawyers? Where are Bryan and Mike's blog entries of outrage that a fake ending was published?
Because it's REAL! The episodes have been made for half a year! Bryan and Mike even said they have no idea why Nick's delaying the finale for so long, however past behavior suggests they're delaying them to build up such a huge amount of viewers that it will(again) decimate Cartoon Network's ratings. And really, why the hell would a major broadcasting company release a 'fake' finale novelization if it's totally different? If people demanded their money back after the finale was released.... How deep are they suggesting this conspiracy runs? Ya know, I bet if the actual finale was leaked on the net, the zutarians would argue it's a fake as well made by a mysterious billionaire that happened to hire the exact same voice actors, animation studios, etc, A YEAR BEFOREHAND.
Zutara... thy faith is a lie.

"Catch a special two-hour episode" ???
It's the damn series finale and should be advertised as such.
Although Nick isn't used to having any program of theirs have a definitive end.
