Airbender Movie Pics Ahoy!

@ComradeCrash: What don't you like, out of curiosity?

@ethan: Because all the Asian kids are busy being sloughed off to piano lessons and baseball games while cramming for tests and studying for straight-As?

/stereotypes.

Judging from the pictures, it's looking okay so far. But where is Zuko's scar? I recall his father scorching one side of his face.

Being a big fan of Avatar, I'll say I'm cautiously optimistic.

"But where is Zuko's scar?" - Maybe this scene is before that moment?

What I really want to see is the rest of the cast.

I nearly fan raged over this yesterday....

Cast is racist, the costumes are horrible (in my honest opinion... I'm sorry, they have the budget to make the armor for Zuko and to pick a different color that doesn't nearly wash Noah Ringer out. They have the outfits in the show already. They really didn't need to edit too much.), Frank Marshall being an ass on Twitter, and just the way this whole thing has been handled is unacceptable.

OH, here are more horrible costumes.

Fire Nation Soldiers: http://lastairbenderfilm.com/2009/03/29/first-photo-of-fire-nation-soldiers/

Granted they're alright... But Water Tribe is decked out with fur and fur trimmings... The Fire Nation armor... God, wrong influence guys.

... Remember kids, never sign a contract where you give up artistic/creative license. It'll be sold to some big wig company who will then make a live action movie verison of it where the studios will rape it for all it's worth.

@ethan: 'Cause Hollywood thinks Asian actors aren't marketable and that white people can't identify with them. :/ Seriously, look what happened to 21! White washing and token asian. If you interested in the whole "Asian Actors in Hollywood" check this out - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=99D263D1B8B2558D&search_query=The Slanted Screen . Very well done documentary.

@Pyro: I have a feeling the scar won't come into play till the end of the first movie. ... Which is sad since it's been present since episode one and was a driving force in "The Storm".

Those look... A lot like Avatar. The series should be a lot easier to adapt into a Hollywood format than Dragonball was for various reasons and these pictures seem to support that.

They didn't seem particularly asian in the first place. The water dudes were kind of mocha, but nobody really looked asian. Gran Torino recently starred young Asian-Americans, and there must be more Hollywood movies that do that I simply can't name off the top of my head. I'd understand if any of the characters actually looked asian, but while its mythology and culture draw from Eastern traditions, its characters sure as hell don't look it.

Teen Ttians doesn't have a page, lol and American shows like that and Avatar won't be getting a page on here.

The costumes look meh and I'm no fan of Avatar.
