As I'm sure everyone who is awesome is aware: there is a live action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie coming out. Avatar was a 3 season cartoon broadcast by Nicktoons (the fella's who also brought: Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, Spongebob... and... um... a bunch of other un-nameables.). For a ytv cartoon is was pretty awesome, and if you don't believe that, believe wikipedia: "garnering 5.6 million viewers on its best-rated showing and receiving high ratings in the Nicktoons lineup, even outside its 6–11-year-old demographic."
"In a lost age the world is divided into four equal powers: Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. In each nation there's a group of gifted people known as Benders who have the ability to manipulate their native element using martial arts and elemental magic. For thousands of years the nations lived together peacefully. But then disaster struck. The young ruler of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Sozin, began a war of world conquest. The only one who could have prevented it was the Avatar. The Avatar is the human incarnation of the Spirit of the World, he alone can master bending all four elements. But, just when he was needed most, he disappeared. Now, 100 years later, a young Waterbender named Katara and her older brother Sokka stumble upon the long lost Avatar, Aang, who was encased in an iceberg for 100 years. Now, they must help Aang master all four elements before summer when Sozin's grandson Fire Lord Ozai will use a comet to deal one last deadly strike against the other nations and claim a Fire Nation victory. But, all that is easier said than done with the Fire Lord's determined and hot-tempered son, Prince Zuko, hot on their trail."
If that doesn't sound awesome, then you suck. It has a fucking FLYING BISON in it. Bitch.
Anyway, now there is a movie coming out, a live action movie. Now, in the past, live action remakes of cartoons generally are pretty shitty (disbaring of course the Ninja Turtles movie, that was hardcore stuff), case in point: The Super Mario Bros. movie.
To make the movie... much more likely to succeed.... [kill me now... i think i just said that... ew. IT WAS SARCASTIC] M. Night Shyamalan (the tool that brought you: The Happening... Lady in the Water... The Village... although i did kind of like Unbreakable, the sixth sense, and Signs). I would have prefered Uwe Boll do the movie.... who am I kidding... M. Night is the lesser of two evils there me thinks.
God damn... i really am only going to go see this because of what it is... It'll be like the Dragon Ball (Z?) movie... fuck that shit.
Oh, and because of who directs it, I will spoil the ending: Aang will turn out to be not the Avatar, but the firelord, the person he is to destroy.
