    As you all probably have figured out, I'm a huge Avatar fan and I'm pretty sure that there are some Avatar fans on this site. Well a couple of weeks ago M. Night Shamalayn announced some of the cast from his live action Avatar movie. Here's the article:

    As you can imagine the whole Avatar community has gone batshit insane. So if you're interested in stopping this clusterfuck from happening go to this website:

    I know it seems weird but we need all the help we can get.

    Not M night Shamalayn...

    He can't do this to Avatar. Aang's to pure to be raped by him and his plots.

    At the end of the movie we'll find out that the tree's did it in protest of the way we treat the enviroment!

    Edit:

    Jesse Mcartney!... Seriously.

    Oh Fuck you M Night... Fuck you!

    What a twist!

    I don't know a ton about Airbender, but while some of the characters aren't overtly Asian-looking, an all white cast is pretty fucked up. Jesse McCartney being cast is an female tween audience draw, full stop; even though he started his career as an actor, he was never that good.

    Actually Avatar was based upon Asian and Inuit cultures. So for him to have a all white cast is pretty messed up.

    I think most people that have watched like four episodes realize that. But Aang can easily be mistaken as white. Since well, he looks white. But still, Avatar is the smex and should not be ruined by the likes of M. Night. Maybe if he went back to making good movies like Unbreakable and Sixth Sense.

    But then again a Avatar movie would be fail no matter who was directing it. Leave it as a TV show dammit.

    If a movie was going to be made, make in animated, the way it should be. I sense cheap effects and bad acting ahead with this live action, M. Night BS. Something tells me this will end as badly as the Dragonball movie.

    Oh, come on. Its live action, for fucks sake.. No live action movie, about a cartoon is ever gonna be worth watching. Especially when its shot by M. Night. His last movie was such a fop. I mean really, Trees attacking people. D:

    Hey! M. Night's last movie was really scary. I sometimes get a really bad case of hay fever so this movie was actually terrifying to me.

    Lol, Hay fever. Go eat some honey. D: That movie was nowhere near scary..

    Its about like that other one he made, Lady of the Water, where all the tennants of this place were part of some big DnD quest. D:

    Fail of massive proportions.

    Wonderful input Oujou. You have stated what all the people above you have, But only in retardanese. Now stay in the Naruto thread. At least there we can kinda guess as to what you are saying, even if it is still retarded.

    They didn't learn after Steet Fighter? The all white thing doesn't suprise me; after all, Tom Cruise was the last samurai.

    EDIT: That was mean Mr. Knox, but very entertaining.

    Same here. My dad had every Jean-Claude Van Damm movie ever, so I loved it. In retrospect, however, it's an hour and a half of flaming hot shit.

    If they can't find any Asian-American actors to be the cast of Avatar, then they should just invest in a computerized rendition.

    This is totally off subject, but I've always wondered, since H is clearly not a vowel, should there be an an infront of hour?

    Why what do you mean? I simply pointed out the fact that your post was a dumbed down version of the posts above it and as such was to be disregarded. And that you should stay in the Naruto tread due to the fact that your inane posts are less, Hmm whats the right word, Ah yes, Retarded.

    While I can easily see how an all-white cast for a show that draws greatly from Asian cultures is problematic, what's with all the M. Night hate? Personally, I love most of the stuff he makes.

    People hate M. Night because most of his recent movies are stupid. You know, like that lady who crawled out a pool, and those plants that killed people...
