Re: avatar rocks
Heh, tell me about it. Hopefully M&B don't make the same mistake that he made.
Another thing that makes me think is how they're gonna make the special effects. We're all fans of this show, and we all know how much action and bending there is. The question is, how are they going to show all of that in the movie? What if it turns out looking all corny and cheap?

Re: avatar rocks
Thats what I'm worried about, Avatar Aang. Remember that one episode where they go to a play about themselves? If it's as corny as that show was I would die.

Re: avatar rocks
Ha, I know what you mean. I don't think they'll make it like that play though, M&B would probably get involved and mix things up. Well, at least I hope they would.
I have a good feeling when it comes to special effects though. I've seen a lot of movies lately with amazing effects, so obviously The Last Airbender should be somewhat like them.

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, definitely, you said it lol. M. Night Shyamalan's other movies have had good effects too, so we can expect something good from The Last Airbender. I also want to see how the characters pull off the action moves. Aang's character is pretty much set, and Jackson Rathbone (Sokka's actor) will probably be pretty good. Besides, Sokka doesn't do as much martial arts anyway. But Jesse and Katara's actress, Nichole Paltzman, don't seem to have it in them. We'll have to wait and see what they're capable of, but I can't imagine it that well for some reason.

Well They do a lot of training for these types of movies.... just as an example we were watching dodgeball in school one day and we put in the extra scenes disk and they had something about training for the movie.... 3 weeks of training just to learn how to play dodgeball.... i cant imagine the training for this

Oh, that's cool. Good example. And yeah, I can't even imagine how much training they're gonna have to put in this. Martial arts definitely isn't as easy as it seems. Jesse's gonna need to really step it up in his workouts lol.

I'm not sure if he's making some of that stuff up or if he's just saying it to make a good impression. He even said wind instead of air. I know they're basically the same thing, but they never called the element "wind" in the show. Maybe he got up there and decided to say a bunch of random words.. I can't really tell. What do you guys think?

Yeah, you said it. I think everything he said was a pile of junk. But, like you said, he'll probably be able to fake his liking for his role. I bet he thinks Avatar is just another one of those kiddish cartoons that little kids watch... so many people do.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just think that if you're going to be playing a major role for the movie of the show, you should at least be somewhat familiar with it (which he was, luckily) and show some interest in it. I could tell he was lying in that video, when he said how cool it was.

What does TBH mean?
You're right, he probably wants to give us a good impression to make it seem like he was a good choice for the role (not saying he wasn't a good choice). From my point of view, his physical appearance matches Sokka's pretty well. The only two aspects are skin color and his smile. His skin can be altered with make-up though, but his smile.. maybe he'll find a way to make it fit.

Re: avatar rocks
I'm wondering the same thing, lol.
He definitely doesn't like the show and was making a lot of stuff up, but there's two other things we got from that video: his appearance and his eagerness in playing a less-serious character. In that interview, his hair looked kinda curly, just like Sokka's when its down. And it wouldn't look that bad if he died it brown. The other thing is that he said that he wanted to play a character that was less serious than Jasper in Twilight and also said he could show his "range in personality". Maybe he's more of a funny guy and would fit nicely for the role of Sokka. I'm still worried about his skin tone though...

Yeah, that's right. Mr. Prettyboy is "leaving, never to come back." Hallelujah! So... who's filling his role?
:drumroll:
Dev Patel is now casted as Zuko. Yeah, the dude who played Jamal in Slumdog Millionaire. Read about it here
Okay, honestly, no one could have been as bad Jesse, but now... this is so random! Why did they pick this dude? I mean, come on. So what if he's Asian? He's Indian! The Fire Nation is Japanese if they haven't noticed. That just makes no sense! Not being racist here, but, he's brown! No one in the Fire Nation is Indian-looking at all! Plus he's not at all muscular or athletic-looking. Just cause that Slumdog movie got like 8 Golden Globe awards doesn't mean that the main character can suddenly go about ruining poor little kid's images of the Fire Nation Prince.

Okay, hell no! This guy is not Zuko! Are you kidding me, Shyamalan? There is no resemblance whatsoever between these two people, if you take a look at these two pictures. http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/06p ... 6/340x.jpg http://iroh.org/screencaps/ep56/ep56-374.png Even an infant could tell that these two don't look anything alike, so why can't Shyamalan see it? Is he purposely trying to make this movie turn out terrible? I don't understand.. Dev Patel was one of the absolute worst people he could choose to cast as Zuko. Seriously, Fire Lord Zuko, one of the most powerful benders in the Avatar world, is being played by this fruitcake?
Even he seems disgusted by himself!

He's hideous! How can he be Zuko? At least Jesse wasn't disgusting-looking.... and at least he had some amount of muscle. I think a 7 year old girl could take Dev Patel with her hands behind her back.

I think my brother could. And he's five. Well, he did beat up that one teenager who actually tried.......(teeth are a big advantage) And think, with hair cut and hair dye and maybe some skin make up or something, Jesse could do it. But I don't know how they are going to work with him. Let's hope the director changes his mind when he meets the guy. Maybe he did some photoshop thing in his apllication
Okay so apparently Dev Patel is a blackbelt in martial arts >.> Never mind my accusing him of being a talentless loser.... lol... According to Wikipedia, "Patel started training at the Rayners Lane Academy of Taekwon-do in 2000 and achieved a 1st rank black belt on 11 March 2006. He competed regularly in both national and international championships, including the 2004 World Championship in Dublin, where he won a bronze medal." Not bad, Dev, not bad...

@arya rox 4.lyfe: Lol it's a good thing you agree. Otherwise I would have to get the Australian FBI. And yeah, I got rid of that Dora thing lol. It was a dare in the first place, so I decided it had been there long enough.
@elve King: Hmm, well, I guess there's one point for Patel. I still am convinced that he's one of the worst possible choice Shyamalan could've made.
@Aorian: Thank you! Lol I agree in every way; revolting is the perfect word to describe him with. And to think some fangirls on Youtube comment on his interviews and claim he's the "hottest brown guy they've ever seen". Sickening.
@Silver: Urgh... lol. I think Jesse is better than this mama's boy. I'm actually starting to regret the things I've said about Jesse on the past few pages... And he doesn't look funny, he looks HIDEOUS!
@Arya_an_Eragon_<3: Thank you, thank you.. lol.
@Arya: He may be a black belt, but he looks like someone half his size could kick his sorry ---, chew him up, then spit him back out. Not even kidding.

I'm not happy with this Patel dude, even if he is a black belt. He's just... not very... Zuko-like. I don't want to be mean, but he's not exactly.. the type. As in... good-looking. And he has a British accent... which kinda contradicts the whole 'Asian theme'

I wish, but M. Night Shymalan is practically in love with him for some reason.
He is awful at hiding his accent. In Slumdog Millionaire you could tell he had an accent. Jeez I'm telling you, just get Taylor Lautner! Too bad he's filming for New Moon...

Woah, thats a pretty good idea. Well, at least Tyler is better then Patel. I wonder if he has a marshal arts background.....
Hell yeah he does! According to our friends at Wikipedia...
"Lautner began studying karate at the age of six, training at Fabiano's Karate School in Holland, Michigan. By the following year, he began winning tournaments. He was soon invited to train with seven-time world karate champion Mike Chat and, when he was eight, he was asked to represent his country in the twelve years and under division in the World Karate Association where he proved himself by becoming the Junior World Forms and Weapons champion, winning three gold medals. He continued to flourish in the martial arts circuit; in 2003, at only eleven years old, he was ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and, by the age of twelve, he won Junior World Championships."
He's perfect for the role...

Heh, you said it. Or, Wikipedia did. Jk. But anyway, yeah, Taylor Lautner is a freakin martial arts God, no questions asked. His appearance and physical capabilities are so suitable for the role of Zuko it's not even funny. All this just adds on to my hatred for Patel. Man.. come on Taylor, forget New Moon and join The Last Airbender's cast. We have cookies! (?)

Yeah, it's official. Though I don't understand why he even agreed to do the role. There's no way in hell he's ever watched Avatar. He's just doing it for the money.

Nice, congratulations to Avatar! It's surprising how the show continues to win awards, despite it being over. Just proves to show how amazing a show it is. fanghur: Yeah, they never show it here either, but, like Arya (Svit-kona) said, they show it often on Nicktoons Network, so if you have that, keep an eye out for it on there. They also have every episode available right here on the Internet. If you need a link, let me know.
It'll be interesting to see how they add the extra scenes in the live-action movies. There's one thing we know for sure though: it'll be worth seeing. Mike and Bryan have never let us down before, and I'm absolutely sure they won't add in some worthless garbage to disappoint dedicated Avatar fans out there.

GASP! How can you ask that? It's the best show ever! Why else would we be obsessed with it?! But seriously, it's the best show ever. If you don't think so, at least admit it's the best show on Nick! Well, that's not really saying anything cause everything on there stinks, but... oh well. You get my point!
I completely get your point, lol! Avatar is the best cartoon in general, whether Nickolodean or not. I love it, I just wish the seris would have continued after the Fire Lord was defeated...
Hell yeah, check out the new avatar! TRUE AVATARD UNTIL THE END!

Wrong. Elfen. Lied. Wins. By. More. Than. A. Mile.
You can't beat such a touching and tragic storyline .... not even Avatar can beat it ...
I didn't think you wanted me to go into a long, annoying explanation, but I can if you want.

Re: avatar rocks
Ha ha have you not been looking at the last 20 pages? Anyways: Avatar is the best cartoon, you can't even put it in a category. Drama? Comedy? Action? Romance? It's all of those, and a lot more. The characters all have different emotions, and they all show a different vantage point on life. It's amazing. You never know whats coming next, will Zuko kill Aang or join him? Will Tosh teach Aang? Will Katara and Aang ever be? Of course we know all the answers by now, but when you watch the series these and a million other questions go through your mind, making you always want more. That's just my opinon though.
Before I post this, understand that you requested me to give you reasons for having my opinions as such. These are my opinions.
Avatar has.... -Intricate, well-thought out storyline -Realistic continuation of plot -Amazing animation (unique cross between anime and cartoon) -Want evidence of the animation and action? Here you go. -Brilliant fighting/action sequences -Epic romance and love story -Original plot line and idea -Humorous and serious at the appropriate times -Can appeal to any type of audience, has something for everyone -Deep and meaningful motives and morals -Has everything you want in a show: action, romance, comedy, suspense, twists, drama -Fusion of different cultures -Extremely realistic and distinct characters -Development of characters throughout show (Characters mature both physically and emotionally throughout the show, coming of age story for characters) -Actual themes: good vs. evil, justification of taking human life, unity and separation of the world -Portrays struggles all human beings go through: loss of loved ones, trying to figure out one's identity in the world, conflicts with parents (All the things normal teens go through) -Shows that Americans CAN make decent anime (though it technically isn't anime) -The four nations' fighting styles are based on actual martial arts forms, namely Ba Gua for airbending, Hung Gar for earthbending, Northern Shaolin for firebending, and Tai Chi for waterbending.
That's it for that. I could go into more detail, but I'd rather not.
Now I don't normally like using statistics, but they prove my point all too well here: When the show debuted, it was rated the best animated television series in its demographic and averaged 1.1 million viewers when new episodes premiered. Also, Avatar is currently syndicated to more than 105 countries around the world, and is one of Nickelodeon's top rated programs. The series is ranked first on Nick in Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Belgium, and Colombia, and has a rating of 9.2 on TV.com.
Awards and nominations 2005 Pulcinella Awards: Best Action/Adventure TV Series - Won Best TV Series - Won 33rd Annie Awards: Best Animated Television Production -Nominated Storyboarding in an Animated Television Production (The Deserter) -Won Writing for an Animated Television Production (The Fortuneteller) -Nominated 34th Annie Awards: Character Animation in a Television Production (The Blind Bandit) -Won Directing in an Animated Television Production (The Drill) -Won 36th Annie Awards: Best Animated Television Production for Children- Won Directing in an Animated Television Production (Into the Inferno) -Won 2007 Genesis Awards: Outstanding Children's Programming (Appa's Lost Days) -Won Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Animated Program (City of Walls and Secrets) -Nominated Individual Achievement Award (Sang-Jin Kim for Lake Laogai)- Won Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards 2008: Favorite Cartoon -Won Annecy 2008: TV series- Nominated 56th Golden Reel Awards: Best Sound Editing in a Television Animation- Nominated
Now, for a personal reason... Avatar has allowed me to make such good friends on here on SF, how can I not love it?
To reiterate, I'm not trying to shoot down Elfen Lied by saying this. I'm sure that's a good show too. I was just giving you reasons as to why I think Avatar is better, in my opinion. Sorry if that was long and boring.

Re: avatar rocks
Nice work ....
-True -True -It's unique, but there's been better of course. I'll mark this as a true. -Lol, that's not a point, it's just evidence relating to the point above. -True, very -I wouldn't call it "epic romance" ... :\ It's just suitable romance for where it's aimed. -True -Very true! They owned at that. -True -True -True -True -Well, there's alot of anime/cartoons/shows with more realistic characters ... so I wouldn't say "extremely". -True -I'm leaning towards "true". -Not unusual -Lol, I suppose that's a point ... xD -That one could be discussed onward ...
Well done, but alot of other shows have those qualities too, just using different techniques. Though, I don't want to go on and sound like I'm hating
LOL this had nothing to do with Elfen Lied, I just wanted to see what seperates this show from most ^.^ I could babble on and on and on about Elfen Lied, which I've refrained from doing.
One thing to add; I think Eragon had a large toll on you making friends on this site too
One more thing: I actually like this show, but I like bringing spice up in things I even like ... to prove it, my favourite character is Mo Mo, I used to draw him all the time.
So... back to Avatar, lol. The Avatar Portal announced that they have a lot of important information regarding the movie, but they aren't going to release it yet, because it isn't 'official.'
Also, it's rumored that Jason Isaacs is going to play Zhao in the movie. I think it's good because he was Zhao's voice actor, but I'd still prefer Hugh Jackman...

Re: avatar rocks
Nice list, Nidsies...
Since when does Avatar Portal have these "connections"? >:?
Hugh Jackman would be so much better....physically. I've never heard him speak, so I can't say much about that.
Does anyone know if anyone has posted a real picture of Noah Ringer? Not that stupid fake one from before...

Yes....early July was, basically. Oh, gosh, July 19th....never, ever shall I forget that date.
Yeah....do you know if NarutoSixth has made any others? Never really checked their channel. Oh, okes. I know what you mean ...
Uhm....uh.....I don't know, really.....`~` Damn. I am unworthy of being a true Avatard...=(
No, I don't think so. Though a lot of good AMV's are coming out now. It was kinda dead in August right after the finale.
Tsk tsk, Toph, don't even know your own parents' names!
Poppy and Lao.

Nothing new, really... except Avatar won two Annie awards for animation and Dev Patel is playing Zuko in the live action movie... we have yet to see Noah Ringer.

Re: avatar rocks
hmm... so what do you think of Dev Patel? i think him and Jesse are about equal on their level of resemblance... Dev Patel is at least somewhat closer to Zuko in race, but has no physical resemblance... and Jesse had no racial similarity whatsoever...

Neither does Dev Patel...-.-
Honestly, I think both Jesse and Dev are horrible choices. Basically, M. Night Shymallamamamaman, you s***.

True, lol. But that's still pretty different....different countries and all that.
Lol....he should have a public nomination for actors and have everyone vote Taylor Lautner all the way for Zuko!!
