a_white_rain has made a post pointing out once again that the people in charge of casting for the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie are not only morons, but are also stupid tactless twits as well. I've been pretty quiet on the internet about this, mostly because I've been focusing on so many other fandoms recently (PERSONA 4 I LUV U <333!), but with this, this is the straw that broke the camel's back. So, it's a bit late, but, this is my rant.
So, Why the hell is this movie being made? No, step back, more basic then that, why is this movie being done LIVE FUCKING ACTION?!? BECAUSE, THINK ABOUT IT, ITS NOT GOING TO LOOK RIGHT, ITS NOT GOING TO SOUND RIGHT, ITS NOT GOING TO BE RIGHT PERIOD!!! AND THAT WOULD BE THE CASE EVEN IF THE SHOW WERE NOT BEING HANDLED BY IGNORANT RACIST ASSHATS; IT IS SIMPLY THE INEVITIBLE RESULT OF TRYING TO TAKE SOMETHING AS BEAUTIFULLY, ARTISTICALLY, AND STYLYISTICALLY ANIMATED AS AVATER: THE LAST AIRBENDER AND TRYING TO RE-CREATE IT IN "REAL LIFE" IS DOOMED TO FAILURE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.
THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT; IF THESE MOVIES WERE TO BE ANIMATED, LIKE THE ACTUAL SHOW, ALL THIS BRAINLESS FUCKWITTERY WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING! THEY COULD JUST USE THE SAME ANIMATORS, THE SAME CHARACTER DESIGNS (WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT RANDOMLY WHITE AND NO AANG IS NOT CAUCASION!!!), AND THE SAME VOICE ACTORS...BUT NO! NICKELODEON HAS TO BE STUPID AND FUCK EVERYTHING UP AND NOT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING.
SO, YEAH, THIS WHOLE THING PISSES ME OFF PRETTY BAD, AND CONSIDERING THAT I'M AN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS WHITE BOY, I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO GRASP HOW OFFENSIVE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS TO DEAL WITH DISCRIMINATION AND MARGINALIZATION ON A REGULAR BASIS.
GYAAAH, ITS ALL JUST SO FUCKING STUPID AND POINTLESS AND ITS A HUGE WASTE, BECAUSE WHEN THIS FLOPS (AND I SWEAR IT BETTER FLOP...), IT MEANS THAT WHILE THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE RETARDATION OF THIS SORT TO POISON AVATAR, IT MEANS WE WILL LOSE OUT ON THE CHANCE TO SEE TRULY AWESOME ANIMATED SEQUALS AND PREQUALS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A BETTER BUDGET...I JUST...
FAIL!
So, that's how I feel. Does anyone understand where I'm coming from on this?
