How do you know Aang isn't white? I mean the show wasn't even considered a true anime since it was made in American with artwork based off animes.

Unless Air Nomads is considered "Chinese", Aang doesn't have a real race/ethnicity.


But, apart from the darker skin characters, all had obvious Asian features. It doesn't matter of the show wasn't an anime or not, I never once thought it was, but the fact of the matter is they have compromised the show by casting more "palatable" actors.

Nobody complains when they bastardise the original in favour for adding Caucasian actors and actresses, but I'm sure if they got a talented black kid to play Harry Potter, people would be screaming about it going against the canon, right?

I believe each nation is also supposed to represent a different asian ethnicity...

I personally have mixed feelings on the movie, mainly because of the casting. It probably wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't for the fact that the story, the nations, the bending/martial arts, and the characters are heavily influenced by different asian cultures. It just bothers me, especially in the casting of Katara and Sokka, who's nation is very much inspired by Inuits from where they live, skin color, clothes and it's odd to see them ignore all of that.

The producer's response to all of his really doesn't help either. What I don't understand is why they couldn't have just left the asian influences as is instead of trying to change the makeup of all the nations. Lord of the Rings was basically a western fantasy and stayed that way in the film, so why can't Avatar and it's world?

Also if you made that image yourself, grammar error. "...is there are..."


I don't get why some people try to claim Avatar is an anime. Since it is not from Japan it is not an anime.

This movie will suck. All the Avatar fans will like it probably. So it will make a lot of money.

I find it amusing that they're not using actors of Asian descent for the Avatar movie. It's like they're afraid the movie won't be a hit without white actors. Maybe race doesn't matter, but you'd think they'd try to fit the setting of the show it's based on. Yes, Avatar isn't in *real* Asia, but it's obviously Asia-themed. Lord of the Rings is obviously set in a Europe-themed world for a different example, so it wouldn't have made sense for the LotR movies to use a cast of Native Americans, or throw in a black Gandalf or something.

I'm honestly really excited for the movie after seeing the trailer. I've seen most of the series and I think it has a lot of potential.

As for the casting, I don't really care about the the whole cast being white or whatnot. As long as they do a good job then I don't mind. Think about it, if a white kid does better at a certain part then a Chinese kid for a certain role, yet they choose the Chinese kid mainly because 'that's who's suppose to be in the role.' Do you really think that's fair?

I really think that everybody needs to quit playing the fucking race card and enjoy the goddamn movie when it's released.

Wake me up when Hollywood ever does a decent live action movie. I'm going to go ahead and guess that it will fail as hard as Dragonball Evolution while simultaneously using nearly as much of a budget as the trainwreck known as Transformers 2.

The thing is, many people consider Avatar not an anime because it's not made in Japan.
But then turn around and label a few Korean anime influenced shows anime. (Such as Yeowoobi, by the way, Cheonnyeon-yeowoo Yeowoobi is a masterpiece, you should go check it out, if you haven't)

From what I see so far, it's about half an anime. It's heavily influenced by anime, but it's also shows heavy Western animation stylization characteristic. Camera angles tend to be done in a fashion slightly more Westernly than Western would. It also uses a cutoff in shading(if that's the right way of putting it), which is incredibly rare to the point of almost nonexistance in anime. Most similarly found in a few shounen shows like Beyblade.

However, being half an anime didn't stop Little Nemo from being added to the database.
In my opinion, if a show like Little Nemo is anime enough to be on the database, then so is Toei's My Little Pony and Avatar: The Last Airbender. But oh, it's an eternal quibble.

I don't give a damn about what ethnicity the cast is. They could be African American... Mexican.. white.. Asian for all I care. Just, please... please... let them be able to act and not have an old aang... I'm excited to see this movie, because I liked the Anime (saying I liked the american anime sounds goofy.) and well, I'm pretty sure the story can't be completely slaughtered by him, because the authors have rights to it as well...

To the people that are protesting this... because the cast isn't all Asian.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

New and improved asian Aang!

As long as the main cast is Asian, who cares if they can act! Right?

You shouldn't have even butt in the first place idiot! Last I checked, that wasn't your argument to get involved in. And for the record, you don't know anything about me either. I've been aspiring to be animator since I was 11, and..... ya know what, I'm not even gonna bother explaining myself.

Okay. YOU WERE THE ONE THAT BUTTED IN. Since you were 11? That's not that long ago, kid. I'm pretty sure I can draw better than you though. I've been working at it since I was 9. :/ Bye Bye!

That's what he does. He makes up lies and then says he won't get involved. Oh he also deletes comments to prevent himself from looking like an idiot or if he knows the other person is right.

Yup, I looked up your youtube account and now I'm 100% positive. My drawings are a lot better. You can copy stuff alright.... but when it comes to your own character design, you FAIL. Your faces are horribly disproportionate... the eyes on characters are not supposed to be on the forehead. -_- I'd show you my drawings and original character designs... but I still need to copyright them... Plus, you'd probably copy them and claim them for yourself, because they're better. XD Not trying to be cocky... With animating... ANYONE with computer skills can do it. Not a big deal.


Anyways, before this discussion got taken over by a troll... Who else is going to see the movie? I am. I don't care if it sucks. Thinking of going in a group of college anime nerds to see the movie, if it can be arranged. Thinking about sneaking in some Sake and taking a sip at each bad part compared to the anime.

Are you using some kind of advanced logic I don't know about? Have you decided to assign new meanings to English words? Are you just intentionally burning a straw man and knowing full well that you're changing the subject and misrepresenting a claim?

I'm honestly really excited for the movie after seeing the trailer. I've seen most of the series and I think it has a lot of potential.

As for the casting, I don't really care about the the whole cast being white or whatnot. As long as they do a good job then I don't mind. Think about it, if a white kid does better at a certain part then a Chinese kid for a certain role, yet they choose the Chinese kid mainly because 'that's who's suppose to be in the role.' Do you really think that's fair?

I really think that everybody needs to quit playing the fucking race card and enjoy the goddamn movie when it's released.


It may not be fair but that is what type casting is about, I'm sure a lot of actors get looked over for certain roles because they don't fit the part. You're not going to cast someone of one race to play really well known characters or a historic figure of a different race just because they came, auditioned, and may have been the better actor. Doing so would possibly cause outrage, depending on who you cast it for and could be potentially offensive, especially if you still plan to make them up to look like the character you intend to make them play.

Though, honestly it's hard for me to believe that they looked over every Asian child actor when they didn't even bother to try and cast for any. Especially when the casting call was basically: KATARA: 14-17 years-old, Female, Caucasian or any other ethnicity, for every single lead characters. Which pretty much means they where looking for white actors, if they where really looking for all kinds they would have specifically put "All ethnicities" on their casting call. Yet for support characters and background characters they where specific about casting for asians.

Call it playing the race card if you want but this happens in Hollywood and films All the time. Authors like Neil Gaiman has had problems with one of his books when "moviemakers wanted to change the lead black characters to white or drop the magical elements altogether." http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20070731/d_cover31.art.htm

Ursula K. Le Guin had the same thing happen to her books The Tales of Earthsea when SciFi adapted it and she wasn't very happy about it: http://slate.com/id/2111107/
