Description Please see the following amazing post about exactly why I will not be endorsing the film The Last Airbender: [link]

So I took the one character in Avatar that would truly represent my feelings by doing what he does best: being angry, LOL.

Explanation:
This comic specifically deals with the fact that in the film apparently Firebenders need pre-existing fire to bend it (when they obviously don't in the series). Iroh firebends from his mouth and hands and Zhao is so scared of this phenomenon he runs away like Slytherins in fiendfyre. *HEADDESKS* *HEADDESKS* *HEADDESKS*

In the comic, Iroh is trying to be the sense of calm. Yeah. It doesn't work. And yes, that quote is from the original show in Tales of Ba Sing Se

And yeah. The day Zuko says to forget honour is the day that Iroh makes that face. He knows this is some srs shit, LMAO.

NOTE: I HAVE seen the film (how else could I comment on the actual film?), but I didn't have to pay for it.

Tweets while watching it:
So firebenders need a preexisting flame to fire bend?! WTF HAPPENED TO 'FIRE COMES FROM THE BREATH'?! #TheLastAirbender

This acting is AWFUL... it's almost as bad as the too close dialogue... #TheLastAirbender

Also, this film is making me think that Zhao and Ozai are having a secret affair... #TheLastAirbender

And most importantly - WHERE THE HELL ARE ZHAO'S SIDEBURNS?! #TheLastAirbender

Also, why does Zuko look like a cross between Macavity from Cats and a Kiss fan as The Blue Spirit?! #TheLastAirbender

Okay Zhao and Ozai are SO having it off. And Zhao is all pissy about Zuko being favoured above him. #TheLastAirbender

Jackson Rathbone, what the hell have you done with Sokka? Who is this 'Soaker', & why are does he have no sense of humour? #TheLastAirbender

At least Zuko gets to monologue. Also, all the bending seems MUCH slower than I imagined it... #TheLastAirbender

Zhao, if they're just children's superstitions, then why are you bothering to kill the fish in the first place? #logicfail #TheLastAirbender

Zhao is scared because Ear-oh is making fire "out of nothing"... *HEADDESKS* #killmenow #likeyoudidtheseries #TheLastAirbender

Ho shit! Soaker has a line! It's only been about 20 minutes... You're not meant to be able to shut him up, remember?! #TheLastAirbender

OH, WHAT?! #TheLastAirbender

SOZIN'S COMET WILL ALLOW FIREBENDERS TO FIREBEND WITHOUT A HANDILY PRE-PREPARED FIRE?! OH FUCK OFF!! #TheLastAirbender

They gave you all of Avatar: The Last Airbender to work with and THIS is what you come up with?! You piss off fans AND confuse newcomers?!

UGH. Don't even get me started on Sokka and Katara... And no Paku or Suki?! AND YOU LEFT IN THE FAILING EARTH BENDERS?! #TheLastAirbender

Peace,
Rotae

tots agree the movie is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! they make Zuko.......... un-hot!!!! . And they took away Katara's hair loopies, and Sokka's humor, and Aang's silly personality. Why do people need resources to bend in a "professionally" edited movie, when people on YOUTUBE can even fake bending more convincingly!? Oh and they took out Suki and the Kioshi warriors!! Grrrr......

Hell yeah! I saw movie and first thing I noticed was Sokka... Did they just made him serious?! Then Zuko's hairstyle was like that in 2nd and 3th book... actually, whole Firenation traditional ponytails are gone! I liked those hair!!! Now they look like Indians...
Well, then comes those things you mentioned. Horrible Firebending from conveniently placed fire. Damn, Firebending was only one of bendings that always came from benger! Firebender makes his fire, only THEN he might use some aditional from fireplace!

... I agree to all of it... I downloaded it because I didn't want to go see it in theatres (though I'm sure the effects probably at least looked cleaner on the big screen) and the only redeeming thing about Sokka's character to me was Jackson Rathbone, the actor, and only because i think he's pretty.

I had to see it despite the horrible reviews, and was kind of disappointed that Water was the book they chose and failed with... the first book is a great one and was kind of logical (i guess) in that it explained the whole 'Avatar' thing, but they could have done so much better. At least Zuko still got to swim through icy water using only his firebending to keep from dying.

But as for the rest of it, *headdesk*. The earth benders part didn't even make sense, since they were SURROUNDED BY EARTH and hadn't even tried to fight back. At least in the series they had them on a fully metal ship with no direct contact with the coal.

/end long, late rant

Ivy-Green [2010-07-26 03:49:32 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I was VERY disappointed with the new movie. Everything was so choppy and twisted. The lines were terrible, the characters OUT of character, and oh all the forgotten people. *cries* I was expecting SOOOOO much more. I loved the series, but the movies *hitheadontable* Like you were explaining, not at ALL that good. I think the whole Firebender mistakes made me angry the most. Oh well, we still have the series I guess...nice art, by the way!

animegeek828 [2010-07-20 22:30:10 +0000 UTC]

well, a good movie needs good casting, good writing, and good acting. and that movie had only 2.75 of those. (zuko, however poorly cast, was the best actor out of all of them.) at least the special effects were decent.

Daaawww! Iroh's face right there at the end was priceless.

Btw, I haven't even seen the movie yet but considering how everyone's reacting, I see dead film-makers.
