Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

[Jove]

Why are the Toph and Sokka ponies naked?! The Aang pony at least has clothing.

Cuz they're chibis, silly.

Also, no way I'm letting that one stay on the last page.

Wow. I looked at the DA site for those. The naked versions are whatever, but the clothed versions really creep me right the hell out.

I mean....why?

[ReikaiDemon]

I'll tell ya...
"I'm so startled!"

[Jove]

Wow. I looked at the DA site for those. The naked versions are whatever, but the clothed versions really creep me right the hell out.

I mean....why?

Is it the concept, detail, or the sheer, unrelenting disregard for all things good and stable? :gar

It's definitely not the last. To hell with good and stable!

First of all, after all the cookie monster's I've made, I'm disappointed that that's the one that makes it into the official list. I'm made some really ambitious ones. I just made my best one, too. Now I don't even want to unveil it.

Second, Rekkie's on greenies.

Also, check this out. In my search for strange Avatar stuff, I stumbled upon a peculiar, but awesome, seller on ebay. Apparently, she wants to corner the market on Appas. These are the pics:

# APPA aka Flying Bison: these are from a new litter I just had and they are ready to go home to a new friend / owner (remember flying bison's are friends for life)
# These baby Appas have just been weened off of their mother's milk and just starting to eat solid food and are ready to go to a loving new home
# Appa plush is BRAND NEW
# It is about 21" inches in length (from head to tail)
# Appa's plush is so soft, must be all the love and attention that I give it
# all Appa's have been socialized with humans since birth and are super friendly (you may have to potty train it)
# surprise your child on Christmas morning with his / her very own flying bison companion
# Appa's are not sold in stores and are very hard to find
# Appa comes from a non-smoking home

is the movie included in season 3 box set?

[Deran Oburienu]

I watched quite a few episodes of this and i found it really cool to be honest. Its a little like Naruto in some ways. I wouldn't say that i know alot about it but i know the main characters name, Aang. Him being the last Air-Bender. My favourites are Water-Benders. There so cool in Avatar.

[Jove]

is the movie included in season 3 box set?

Yes. The movie was simply the last four episodes, 318 to 321, presented together on Nick for the finale week. They air separately in reruns, and are separate chapters on the DVD.

Ok. This is something that has bugged me for a while. Aside from wind being the main character's element (and that's only recent in Naruto) and both being orphans, what similarities do Avatar and Naruto have?

This isn't directed at any specific person. Someone, anyone, explain this to me. I just don't see it, and it really annoys me when people call Avatar a Naruto rip-off.

The elemental stuff is a commonly cited reason, but the use of elemental combat is the entire basis of Avatar, unlike Naruto. And the use of the elements is totally different.

What doesn't work is the timeline. Avatar had been in development since 2001-2002, before Naruto even had an anime, and before the elemental stuff became prominent in the narrative. There's no correlation between the two; Mike and Bryan were most likely not even aware of Naruto before the show's construction.

[Kaenboshi]

The dirty little secret is that the similarities are archetypal or coincidental, but some anime fans don't care even think of this possibility. "It looks like anime" and "Naruto is popular" somehow merge into one train of thought: "They ripped off Naruto so they can cash in on the anime craze! :yell". Somehow, never having seen Avatar, they're in the perfect position to make that call.

[jkingler]

Aang and Naruto even look the same!

HAY HAY HAY CAST ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

http://www.moviemake-out.com/2008/12/10/the-last-airbender-gets-cast-of-unknowns/
After an open casting call and what must have been numerous auditions from almost every kid actor to grace the Disney Channel, EW.com reported that M. Night Shyamalan has found the cast for The Last Airbender, his live action adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: the Last Airbender. (The “Avatar” was dropped so as not to be confused with James Cameron’s Avatar, out next Christmas.)

Taking the lead role of Aang—the 112-year old kid who has to save the world—will be an unknown named Noah Ringer who studies karate. Rounding out the cast will be Jackson Rathbone (Twilight) as Sokka, the 15-year old Water tribe warrior; Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) as Katara, the 14-year old Waterbender; and Jesse McCartney (former boyband member, now solo R&B musician) as Zuko, the 16-year old exiled Fire Nation prince bent on capturing Aang.

Already, there’s some Internet uproar over a predominantly Caucasian cast for the live-action adaptation of an animated series that many have claimed is “just as good or better than anime” and has many Asian themes to it. For some reason, I’m not as bothered by this as I am the Keanu Reeves story and that’s because I never became an “Avatard” like many of my friends did.

At least Shyamalan cast a kid who knows martial arts as the lead?

Ahem.

SOKKA:
http://p8.metroblog.com/pictures/770/38/3/338770_MLCBSNVMWDOYPFP.png
Alright, I can kinda see it. Moving along.

KATARA:

I dunno. I don't have an opinion, I guess. You guys?

[Jove]

I've often claimed "Avatar is just as good or better than anime." :rotfl

I pretty much agree with your reactions. Sokka's cast well, it seems; Katara seems about right; and Zuko... whomever got cast as Zuko was going to get an ungodly amount of scrutinization, and thankfully that is going to happen.


EDIT: Here's another report:

http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/12/10/first-look-the-cast-of-the-last-airbender/

With different looks:

Ehhhh...

[Noah]

Second shot makes Zuko look acceptable. Unfortunately, that does not apply for Sokka and Katara. The second images make them look.....not acceptable.

On a side note: What/When is the next Avatar anniversary coming up? I need a new set.

[Mider T]

Katara's choice was right, Sokka's was meh (Vampirez in mah Avatarz?!:argh), but Zuko....just no. I sense singing in a non-musical.

[KillerFan]

oh god is this going to be another dbz movie thread? all the criticism and such? :xzaru
i'd like to see the boy who plays Aang soon. :amuse

Well, that depends.

The next US airdate would be February 21, for The Boy in the Iceberg and The Avatar returns. However, if we are going by first airings, the it would be December 14 for the Canadian airing of Western Air Temple.

So we have to figure out if we're simply going by when the aired in the US, or when they aired anywhere.

oh god is this going to be another dbz movie thread? all the criticism and such? :xzaru

This thread has been like that from the start. :hmpf

[Superstarseven]

The first actress' picture that was put up as Nicola Peltz isn't her. That girl goes by the name of Stella Maeve.
The second picture is correct.
Apparently the Water tribes are made up of WASPs.
Do the Asians on this thread have an opinion on the casting so far?

[Coteaz]

Wait.

Those actors do not look Inuit or Asian. :zaru

[Kaenboshi]

http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6964/ep44117mc8.png

[Lilykt7]

lol why are they white. I mean yeah I can KIND OF see it...but honestly? The differencent races represented in avatar was one of the things that made it awesome. Good child actors might be hard to find but come on.


Are you guys sure this is the real deal?


someone brought up a good point that they're technically not asian or white and that this doesn't take place on earth blah blah blah. But still people must know what we're getting at.

[ReikaiDemon]

Sokka needs a bit more roughishness...And god help the casting director if they cast Cedric Diggory/Mr. Sparkly vampire as Zuko...
Do the Asians on this thread have an opinion on the casting so far?
Omg yay, me is asian :iria
Zuko at least, should be asian.
I would be surprised if they managed get yuen wah or chow yun fat to play.
Though, it's probably cheaper to hire more low key actors, and easier to find local talent.

[Superstarseven]

Well I don't see how Iroh can be Asian now since Zuko will be portrayed by a white actor. If there's one thing I know about a kid with 1 Asian parent and another parent from a different race, the eyes always get passed down. They're not going to be able to pull off the idea Ursa being white, Ozai being Asian and Zuko looking like he's from The Valley.
It would be a diss to all the Sean Lennons, Kristin Kreuks and Olivia Munns of the world.

[jkingler]

So...the Water Tribe is from Maryland? :S

Yeah...OK. Since the Shyamalan's casting seems to have failed us, and since known actors don't seem to be off-limits, let's do some dreamcasting.

Who do you think could work for the roles?

Kristen Kreuk as an old Katara is all I have at the moment. XD

[Noah]

They're not asian or inuit. Boo hoo. Racial profiling won't be the reason the movie fails. It will be Shamaturd's personal spin on it.

If this turns into another Live Action DBZ thread, I will personally come and rape each and every one of you. And that's a goddamn promise. :uwah

You'll do no such thing.

And there no way this thread could turn into something akin to that one, because the movie will never account for more than 2% of the discussion here. Though 100% of that 2% will be incredibly pessimistic and critical.

Feel free to rape, though, Noah. It will help to momentarily distract us from the movie.

[Superstarseven]

I wonder if the small pool of young working Asian actors who heard of this casting originally said "Thank Heavens...finally!".
Well from the reaction on the 'net, Whitey is really pulling for them.
I've seen a very tiny few blame the casting on M&B but the huge majority know that big things like casting is in M Night's realm.

If this casting was at the behest of Mike and Bryan, that would be, dare I say, a Shyamalan-level twist.

[jkingler]

a Shyamalan-level twist.
As in you see it coming a mile away and when it arrives it's insulting?

Or are we talking Shyamalan prime, when you could only see it coming from a couple hundred yards and on arrival it was still pretty cool?

Rape is the new hippity hop. Just like Galactic replaced Epic, Rape is what you threaten people with instead of an ass kicking or killing them. For galactic lulz, you threaten to rape with fist!

All the ladies love it. Saying it in an Al Pachino voice is instead sex. :LOS


Go on, try it out sometime. :zaru

[Taurus Versant]

This movie makes me question the moral negatives of reprogramming how Shama thinks.

[stab-o-tron5000]

Still not gonna make any judgments until I at least see a trailer. I can't say I'm all too affected by them being white either, as long as they can act, that's all I really care about.

Though, I feel the need to remind everyone about the severe wave of nerd-rage that swept across the internet when Heath Ledger was announced as the Joker*, and that seemed to turn out ok.


*well, except for the dying and all.

[jkingler]

All the rows over Heath were needless. Heath had proven his general chops, e.g. Brokeback.

Well, M Night needs a cheesy serenade scene, his resume re: such work is amply padded.

Maybe they're just casting for the Ember Island Players? :uwah And the real cast will comment on how inappropriate this supposed casting call was?

...

In all honesty, though, I could somehow see Jesse McCartney working. And I'd love to help burn his face.

This movie makes me question the moral negatives of reprogramming how Shama thinks.

The weird thing is that M. Night's favorite character is Zuko. Zuko's character arc will probably even more prominent in the movies. And so, the person M. Night has decided will carry the heaviest burden in the movie is Jesse McCartney.

His kids got him into Avatar. So they got to cast the movie. That's the only explanation.

Didn't know we had a thread for Avatar.

Anyway, are Zutara fans still butthurt after the ending?

They're producing a "alternate," Zutarian ending (with Taang, of course, because the only people that ship Taang are Zutarians), comprised of animated fanart and new dialogue. They've somehow managed to blackmail convince Dante Basco to voice Zuko in this project (http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_zutara/302547.html).

So, are they still angry? Nope. They've simply gone so fucking insane they're oblivious to how fucking insane they are.

That's a very good point. It's not totally confirmed, from what I've read. But there's a lot of the fandom that woudn't have accepted anything other an entirely Asian cast, despite several characters, including Zuko, that could easily be interpreted as Caucasian.

This is balderdash because it's Jesse McCartney, not because Movie Zuko is white. Stop obfuscating the POINT, you goddamn morons!

There's actually the beginning of a letter campaign, directed at Paramount, over this: http://aang-aint-white.livejournal.com/646.html

[Koi]

I kind of feel like an asshole because I don't care if they're white or not, to be perfectly honest. Should I? I mean, we haven't even seen the kid who's playing Aang yet. He could be some sort of ethnic ninja like myself, only opposite-- 'white' name, ethic appearance.

Edit-- he's even from Texas? There's hope. There's a pretty big Asian community there.

[kakoishii]

^ I myself consider myself as part of the camp that doesn't mind so much the cast is caucasian. Honestly with all the uproar over the DB movie with its similar casting problems, I find it laughable people still laud that small detail over its head in the face of its many other short comings. In other words if these kids can act I won't care so much either way, furthermore its not like we have to deal with a failed attempt at "adapting" the original story like some cartoons/anime turned live action. Again, I don't mind staying optimistic on this one, we'll just have to see.

Talk about misaimed fandom, Mnightfans get the news first? That's as fail as his last movies. Do they REALLY lack that much sense to NOT release news of the film adaptation of the series to their respective fansites? Actually, I feel a bit insulted, that seems to imply that they think that MNight is better and bigger than Avatar, and that Avatar is adapting HIM, not the other way around. Or it could be that no one knows what Avatar is or care about it, unless some bigshot directs it.Or they think we're stupid, blegh. Goddamn, I can go on all day about the layers of jackassery this stinks of.

WTH? M Night is just pissing the fandom off more and more. I already sent my letter to paramount about Jesse McCartney and vegan vampire boy. I want to send a letter about this to Mike/Bryan. Avatar fans come before Night fans anyday of week.

[Jove]

One thing I considered:

id pictured there is supposedly playing "Young Aang," and initially I assumed that meant Aang from The Storm, when he was informed that he was the Avatar. But technically, that Aang should be played by Noah Ringer, since Aang ran away from the SAT shortly after that, and was frozen.

But this boy is young. Really young. So he is possibly going to play the Aang from Appa's Lost Days, before he became a recognized Airbending master, and received his tatoos. If that's the case, it means that M. Night is going to seriously intermingle Books here, especially with flashbacks...

Hey guys I was lurking the fridge brillance page on tv tropes wiki when I found this:

In a finale-related note, it took me a while to realize the full significance of Ty Lee joining the Kyoshi warriors... at first it just seemed an odd bit of Pair The Spares (so to speak)... but then a comment on this wiki made me realize that for a girl whose neuroses all stem from how she spent her life seeking attention and individual acclaim to distinguish herself from her identical sisters, that she has found happiness as part of a team whose members all dress and act alike shows great personal growth. - Rothul
At the same time, it's not as though she had to subordinate her uniqueness to the group in order to get her happy ending. They let her join because she had an unusual skill that she was willing to teach the rest of them, and teaching is a leadership role. For once she was able to be a trendsetter rather than a follower, and that's how she was able to reconcile her desire to stand out with her psychological need to overcome that neurosis. —Karalora

[jkingler]

I thought it was a rather fitting and fortuitous way to tie off Ty Lee's story, and a good way to make the Kyoshi warriors future selves even more formidable. Loved it.

Another problem I had was the physics of the decapitation. We're talking about blades activated by pulling a chain; would they have enough force to sever a head?

Well, they theorized that the blades were meant to be coated with a very powerful poison if it really existed. The actual name of the device implied that it was meant to kill through excessive bleeding, or at the first sign of bleeding due to the poison. The blades could've also been spring loaded.

Welcome. There are several persistent pests around here who will not let this thread die, with an innate ability to discuss Avatar.

Uness you specifically mean the live-action movies and the furor around them. That's only going to get more intense; it's going to be a LONG 18 months.

I think I'm late here. But I think Avatar is one of the best animes I've ever seen. After Naruto that is.

I wanted more but the ending was like alright... Can't wait for the movie!!

Just don't acknowledge any ties the movie has of relation to the series, and adamantly chant that there is only one avatar "movie: in existence :LOS
Problem solved.
Since we're on the subject, does it piss anyone off terribly when a video game comes out for a movie or other, and it's title is "somethingsomething the Movie"?

Uness you specifically mean the live-action movies and the furor around them. That's only going to get more intense; it's going to be a LONG 18 months. I thought it got pushed back late 09/early 10.

I thought it got pushed back late 09/early 10.

Well, not officially, but one of the producers said it would be "late 20010, early 2011," so I'd expect they'll eventually make it official. I just... want it to be over as soon as possible. But I guess it gives up more time to prepare for the battle.

[Kaenboshi]

Which reminds me. The Aang Ain't White campaign's letters bounced.

[Jove]

Bounced? In what way? Letters returned?

[Kaenboshi]

Yup. Most of them got returned. They thought it was due to winter holiday or something. Anyway, they're trying again and this time sending letters to more than one address.

To that point, it appears that a lot of the girls in the Avatar fandom have forgiven M. Night for casting such a ghostly young dude as Sokka. Because they REALLY want to fuck him. Like, almost as badly as they want Zuko to throw it at Katara. He could do just about whatever he wanted.

Now, instead of being a manga about an insuffurable young malcontent oblivious to sex, it'll be about a Captain, the embodiment of honor, virtue, and affability, who saves his mentally retarded, butch-dyke-voiced underling from a giant energy bird and then cyclo-rapes the group of traitors that caused it to nearly happen. :gar
Don't forget Halle Berry :sag

What about Orihime and Ishida vs. random Shinigami back during the Soul Society Invasion?

One person doing all the work while the other stands back and watches doesn't count.

There's a better chance of B*A*P*S II then her pulling off Yoruichi. :mad

What's with all this Bleachball Z talk! I thought this was the Avatar thread?

Actually this allows me to bring up something I love about Avatar over anime.

When they fight in Avatar, they actually just fight, it's awesome. They don't spend five minutes blowing smoke up each others asses explaining how their powers work and why guy A can't beat guy B. Then they fight for a bit. Then they have to stop because, holy crap, one of them actually has a super secret hidden move (this has never been done in anime before and should totally shock the viewer), which they then use on guy B, but it doesn't quite kill the guy B because (and you'll never guess this either) guy B also has a secret special super move which he's about to use. Well, he will eventually , but first he has to explain to guy A just why his super secret attack didn't actually work. Then after about five minutes of that, guy B transforms into super hyper strong form (and dispite this happening in every single fight with every single opponent guy A has ever fought, he still stands around being shocked and horrified that it's happening a twenty-seventh time.) ...

So on and so on for the next ten episodes.


In Avatar, they seem to have an amazing ability to just fight without launching into two hours of exposition. I love it.

You cannot contain the Avatar thread within boundaries anymore. We're our own forum now. :quite + :edu


But that a great point. One of the most admirable aspects of the Avatar world is it's realism. Besides the bending, and a few jumps by Ty Lee, the characters are subject to the same human limitations as us.

It's also a testament to the simplicity of Avatar as well. Being grounded in natural resources, there's only so much the characters can do with their bending. To be a great bender involves creativity, and different variations of moves and techniques can be made (ie, Azula v. Aang during The Drill), but essentially it comes down to the bender's spiritual connection with the element and a clear mind during battle.

And truthfully, there's not much fighting in the show, anyway. The characters aren't defined by their power or fighting prowess.

If you want to kill some time try typing in "Airbender" and "Anime" and marvel at how many Is Avatar:The Last Airbender an Anime? threads there are across various messageboards. I don't even think there are that many because people are actually confused but rather because the show is so good, they're looking for for a large consensus to say that it actually is one.
After 4 years, this debate should not be ongoing.

oh right and I'm tired of those Avatar character Vs. Naruto character threads, those 2 worlds and the power their inhabitants possess is vastly different from each other. The benders are at a complete disadvantage.

In fact, there's a ban on Avatar threads in the Outskirts Battledome subsection. And for good reason, in my opinion; the Avaverse is a magical fantasy, but it's not outlandish. One of the things you see in early reviews is the notion of how believable Avatar is; bending just seems so possible.

And really, if you're a fan of the show, why would you make threads like that anyway? That's missing the core values of the show. :edu

[Alisha]

Does it even matter whether it's an anime or not? Anime doesn't automatically make a show good, it's the plot and characters.

The creators have said that Avatar was inspired by anime and such, but there's not much Japanese influence in the Avatarverse, it's more Chinese-like.

Earthbending FTW, by the way.
