I agree with you.

If everything was the same as the show, to the dot, there would be no point in watching the movie in the first place.

Think about it before bashing me with comments.

@ nemogbr

Wrong in one. Mike and Brian are credited as Executive Producers of the film in the teaser. Not sure if anything has changed since then, but somehow I doubt it

Also, Iroh in Dreds is the most epic thing since Deathchin. You know the one.

Slow down.

It’s an adaptation. Things will be different.

And no level of Awesome can describe my feelings about Uncle Iroh… WITH DREDLOCKS!

I’m trying to keep a optimisic attitude for this movie but what’s up with Iroh’s hair?! he doesn’t have dreds! and for the white washing debate i agree that katara and sokka should’ve been indian not white but i think zuko should be white not indian

Few little things you folks should know about ‘adaptions’.

An adaption is when you take an existing story and transform it into something original, while keeping the basis of the story present. This is found in mostly old fairy tales. Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast have all been adapted many times over while keeping the basic themes.

However, adaptions can be VERY risky. If you change the story TOO much, then you risk alienating the fans of the source material. This is ESPECIALLY TRUE with NEWER stories, like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Harry Potter’. If these stories were ‘adapted’ and turned into something totally different than from their original intent (say, ‘Lord of the Rings’ took place in modern times or ‘Harry Potter’ without magic) what do you think the fan bases reaction would be?

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ is a NEW story, but ‘adapting’ it in such a manner takes away what made the animated series so unique and fantastic IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Uh, no.

Mike and Bryan may be the creators, but M. Night BOUGHT THE RIGHTS and he AND Paramount can do whatever they wish WITHOUT Mike or Bryan’s input.

Somehow, I strongly DOUBT that Mike and Bryan have ANYTHING TO DO with this ‘adaption’.

Seriously, this is their BABY. You REALLY THINK that they would allow THIS many clear changes to the movie if they had any semblance of control?

Mike and Bryan are not part of the adaptation.
They are credited as creators only, but hold no rights.
They cannot complain due to a non-disclosure agreement.

M.Night is listed as the sole writer of this film.

He also claimed to love the Harry Potter series due to his daughter loving the books…..sound familiar?

Truly glad he was not given one of the Harry Potter films to destroy.

Shayamalan is known for his twists.

Wonder what it will be?

Katara is actually scared of Water?

Or perhaps take the opposite route.

Zuko is scared of Fire.

You’ll take the word of two actors employed for the film? I think the guy they hired for Dragonball Evolution was also supportive of the film.
