Posted July 4, 2010 This really summed up my feelings about the movie: "...I loved the animated series deeply. I felt connected to the characters, the plot, and the story. It was well-written, wonderfully conceived, and beautifully executed. Shyamalan has taken one of the best animated series I have seen and destroyed it. He tore it to shreds, set it on fire, and then urinated on its smoldering corpse." Share this post Link to post

Posted July 4, 2010 Compare that with something like Naruto, it's really short. I really wish there was more.. maybe in the new sequel? I think the length problem was that in the early seasons, it tried too hard to be nonsequential. Like anyone could jump into the series at any time and get what's going on. Compare that to FMA which is 51 episodes and has no length issues because it is more sequential. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2010 Movie got an 8% or so on rottentomatoes...To put that in perspective, Twilight got 13%. D: Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2010 ...well , this just broke my heart. I was super excited for the movie, but hearing all this about it...I knew they'd have to cut a LOT, that it would be a lot more serious, that the characters would probably not be as good as the series, but not that it's a total massacre of the show. D: I'll still probably go to see it sometime, but now I'm not gonna be near as enthusiastic about it. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2010 They took out Kyoshi... They pronounce Aang and Ohng or Ahng or something like that... ...D: Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2010 Everyone's talking about the movie now, so I'm going to post my favorite episodes (I have a lot): The Puppetmaster The Ember Island Players The Headband The Painted Lady The Boiling Rock Tales of Ba Sing Se The Blind Bandit Avatar Day Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2010 Tales of Ba Sing Se is one of my favorites. I dunno, I love them all. :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2010 favorites: The Spirit World Jet The Storm The Waterbending Master The Seige of The North The Cave of Two Lovers Zuko Alone Bitter Work The Library The Desert Every Bit of their time in ba sing se. Those were good episodes. Sokka's Master The Avatar and the Firelord The Puppetmaster The Southern Raiders Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2010 They changed the names to an Asian pronounceation and they filmed a lot of Kyoshi stuff but they cut it because that was Night's fav part and if they did put it in that would be half the film. There was one perfect seen, when comander Xhow (no idea how to spell that) caught Aang it was basicly word for word and the blue spirt rocked. Also the dude who plade Zuko sounded a lot like Zuko. Despite a few missing characters, the bounty hunter woman, Haru, and Jet it was ok. Who knows maby we'll see them in the seccond one. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 6, 2010 I just finished watching the last episode today. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the series, but now I have nothing else to watch. D: Oh well, it's back to Sailor Moon for me. I'm kinda nervous to watch the movie. From the reviews I've read, it sounds awful. I really don't want to watch one of my favourite story lines slaughtered on the big screen.

Posted July 6, 2010 Tales of Ba Sing Se is one of my favorites. I dunno, I love them all. :3 OHMYGODNOOOOOOO. D: Freaking made me cry! Every time! Next time, I think I'm just gonna cut it off at Toph and Katara pwning those snobby *es and NOT watch Iroh. /bawls Share this post Link to post
Posted July 6, 2010 Iroh and Zuko's make my cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. I half wish the story could just stop there, with them living happily in Ba Sing Se, and Zuko marrying the girl and stuff. I wish there was good fanfiction of it, but I'm doubtful. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2010 Probably isn't. I have mixed feelings about the Random City Girl. She was sweet and clueless. Zuko was NEVARRRR meant for that. I also don't like him with Mai, but eh. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2010 i havnt seen the movie yet but i haerd it had realy bad reviews so im niot ganna see it i didnt want to see it in the first place Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2010 Also, it's spelled Toph. But yeah, avoid Avatar fanfiction. It's either lemon and/or out of character Yeah, on the whole, you're right. I've found very, very few good gems in the Avatar fandom. One story I definitely liked was an AU- which is strange for me, since I don't usually enjoy them. It features and amnesiac Zuko, and takes some of the darker elements in the show and pronounces them. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2010 Compare that with something like Naruto, it's really short. I really wish there was more.. maybe in the new sequel? I have a rant about Anime Vs. Western animation but I will save you from it. I, however thoroughly stand by my belief that it didn't over stay it's welcome. There is going to be a sequel. http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar:_Legend_of_Korra Share this post Link to post

There is going to be a sequel. http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar:_Legend_of_Korra I think I just wet myself. Did anyone else think the episode sequence with Zuko and his sister and her friends was weird? To me the whole final book was very strange, like they were filler episodes or something.

Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) all I have to say is I made a zutara choker and wear it everyday so that pretty much tells everyone my views on the show (still like it but zutara would have been an epic way to end it.) Edited July 14, 2010 by CynderSafeer Share this post Link to post
Posted July 14, 2010 hi! this show is my favorite animated series, its totally epic. saw the movie, and it was ok, but the show is better because they didnt mess up the names ahaha. sorry for jumping in on this if its a conversation Share this post Link to post
Posted July 15, 2010 M. Night Shama... (I won't even try) suceeded in what Fire Lord Ozai and his ancestor could not do... he killed the Avatar... Share this post Link to post
Posted August 4, 2010 The show was good, but the movie..... *crickets chirping* Share this post Link to post
Posted August 4, 2010 M. Night Shama... (I won't even try) suceeded in what Fire Lord Ozai and his ancestor could not do... he killed the Avatar... That is epic... and true Share this post Link to post
Posted August 6, 2010 That is epic... and true Thankfully, though, people still seem to like the show- that hasn't been lost among the ruins of the movie. For example, I had a spontaneus long conversation with a bunch of 'popular' girls about Momo. One of them fist-punched when I mentioned Korra. Share this post Link to post
