So if you didn't know Avatar The Last Airbender is getting a new live action adaptation on Netflix.

But what you probably didn't know and wish you could forget forever is that it already got a live action movie and it was terrible.

But today I'm going to remind you of just how terrible this travesty.

Really, Waas.

I'm just on the Internet.

I do all the research nobody else wants to straight from the desk of battle.

Obviously spoilers.

If you haven't watched the film.

Duh!

All right, let's kick things off by talking about the trailer.

You remember it Has Ang doing some sweet avatar moves with the candles.

Well, this two minute trailer was just about all the good footage in the entire movie.

You see, the film is actually just M.

Night Shyamalan, the director trying to embody the Fire nation and kill the Avatar, which he does a pretty good job at.

And it's not like he didn't have good material to work with either.

The original Nickelodeon Siri's has an amazing story dope ass character development and awesome action scenes.

But what did we get?

We got a bunch of horrible exposition like a shit ton of it.

If you don't know what exposition is, it's telling, not showing, basically the opposite of what you want to dio in a film.

For instance, just in the 1st 3 minutes we get some scrolling text, followed by some poorly read narration.

And then 100 years ago, he just disappeared.

I get it.

People Convention elements in the world needs this boy, a k a.

The avatar.

I don't need animatronic guitar, a spoon feeding me narratives to understand what's going on.

It would be an understatement to say Exposition killed the film a nem en el it burned its house down, wiped out its family and sewed its fields with salt.

But, oh, it doesn't stop there.

In fact, M.

Night Shyamalan didn't just wipe out a family.

He wiped out an entire race of people.

You remember how the water tribe was supposed to be based on real life Arctic cultures like the in you, It's well not here.

Here they're all white.

And maybe, just maybe it was because the actors were really good.

But leave it alone.

Wow, With delivery like that, not even face stealer CO would be interested shit so little left.

It's a little avatar joke for you guys.

Seriously, though, in the Siri's, Ang is supposed to be childlike and whimsical.

Qatar of the humble sidekick Sokka the comical relief.

But in the movie Ang is an emotionless body of turmoil.

Qatar A sounds like an airhead, and Sakka seems like he's just reading off a script.

I watch what side of the tracks are more indented.

That shows you which direction they're going.

I saw how long the drag skits are that shows you how fast they're going.

The characters are so shallow that you could care less if one of them takes a fireball to the face.

Which Qatar A does?

And no, not even a twinge of emotion.

Even the C G I.

APPA had more range than these actors, and all he can say is, Wow, the film is so inconsistent that it started to break down its own world building.

Like instead of imprisoning earth benders on a metal boat where they can't use their powers, they imprison them on land next to I shit you not rocks.

You know the thing they can manipulate with their powers at any point, these earth benders could just literally crush the outnumbered firebenders.

So why don't they?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe there is dumb as the rocks they bend.

But when they finally fight back, it takes six of them doing a well choreographed dance to make one small rock float across the screen.

Let's just do a little side by side here and see if it matches up with the original source material at all this bender.

Bigotry doesn't end there.

Toe add to the stupidity.

Firebenders need a pre existing fire to bend.

They can't just make fire.

Oh, unless you're in advanced fire Bender like Zuko, Uncle Iroh who does nothing with this power.

He just stands there looking like an idiot.

Good.

Awesome.

Keep doing that.

Maybe they just ran out of special effects budget.

Which would explain why Wang and Xue kal have a long, drawn out fist fight.

Yeah, that's right.

The airbender and the fire bender fight each other without using a single flame or gust of wind.

It's like showing up for a duel at high noon on Lee to get into a slap fight.

The movie did do a great job at one thing, though, and that's giving Netflix a long, detailed list of what Not to dio.

Thanks M.

Night Shyamalan.

I knew Bruce was dead the whole time, and the ending of Split was stupid.

Fun Fact.

The producers for the Netflix series, who are also the original creators, took a low key Jeb at the movie when they said, We can't wait to realize Hangs World as cinematically as we always imagined it to be and with a culturally appropriate non whitewashed cast, so at least we know they won't make that mistake again.
