How do they expect a blind person to see this😂😂

This is great news and all, i just hope they will improve on the script/dialogue, as well as making the characters not feel so flat. It was like the show didn't allow them to fully become their roles. Zuko is the only one that felt completely like himself. Sokka being very close. The scene that was the best for me in the show was the one after Aang saves Zuko dressed as the blue spirit. That scene felt 100% like Atla. I loved it.

Only now they are looking for Toph cast ? Guess they were busy with all the rewriting. Jokes aside , why are they casting someone who is specifically blind , wont that create even more problems for casting and filming specially for the action parts ? What is the problem with having an actress pretend she is blind, this is acting after all.

The great decision would be to stop the massacre right now... season 1 was bad enough already, no need for more

It’s already fucked, but still a blind actress is the only good thing so far

no need to be exactly blind but as long as it accurate tho im fine with it

Casting a blind person for Toph does not make sense to me. Yes, she is blind but she can see through her earth bending, and that's why she can move as if she could see. That's just not possible for a blind person in real life.

TIL that there's going to be a season 2 of that abomination....

Why does the actress need to be blind ?? like, I get casting someone that can portray a blind person, but I feel like this only limits the possible pool of actors to a really low number.

We’re having Drax in the movie. Nobody is going talk about this?

The Boiling Rock arc is the best two parter in the entire show imo 😅

the reason why Kyoshi island worked so well because everything in the set was real

It doesn't HAVE to be Diana Tsoy, but I would be stoked if were! I feel like she already gave a fantastic audition, and nailed the character. She looks like Toph, sounds like Toph, and moves like Toph. They would be hard-pressed to find someone who is a better fit.

One issue I can potentially see with casting a blind actress is that, for the most part, Toph often needs to move as though she CAN see, since in a way, she kind of can. I suspect that’s at least part of why they cast Charlie Cox for Daredevil, instead of a blind actor, cuz he needed to be able to move like he could actually see, but from what I hear, people said he still portrayed a blind man very well and accurately.

Cool! I subscribed because of what he said😂, my fellow benders of all four nations 😅

I understand that the characters are going to age, but even if the others are older for season 2 then they were in the original, Toph should still only be twelve to start off with, because I always thought one of her main character traits was not just that she was blind, but also the irony of how tiny she is on the outside while being someone like “The Boulder” on the inside.

I can't wait to see how they'll do metal bending.

Tbh I thought they would of one of the main actors chosen by now, seems a bit late to only just be doing casting calls.

Glad the episodes turned out the way it did

It make sense because the animated Avatar series only have season 3 , so season 3 will be the finale for the live action Avatar series , and i wonder if legend of Korra live action will be next if netflix and Nickelodeon approved it

diana tsoy got everything, she sounds EXACTLY like toph, she got the attitude the moves, shes the perfect fit

its fine cause jet bad asl

A blind actor might sound great on the surface for toph, but not being able to see the martial arts movements to learn them and how they look would be a big challenge I’d imagine. It’s already a challenge for a typical child actor to get those martial arts movements right. A blind teen might have even more difficulty. Emotions like happiness or sadness will likely look different on a blind person as well. That’s not necessarily bad or anything, some people might recognize it as showing what these emotions look like on a blind person who has never seen these emotions expressed by others. However, I think most of the audience will simply say it’s bad acting and be enraged by it. Finally, when an actor can’t see the original show it will be much harder for them to imitate “the look” of the character. Personally, I don’t mind that but I can already see the angry comments that show a lack of understanding towards that reality. Then again, maybe they’ll find a great blind actress and prove me wrong. We’ll have to see.

Mid to late teens is crazy

I agree with you

I don’t think Mai and Zuko have a thing in the Netflix one considering the obvious age gap between the actors lol

Yea toph is a great character that deserves a great actor. I'm also happy they are prioritising low vision/disabled actors. she is one of few young blind actor playable characters. It's also crucial they get the casting right.

This video just reminded me I need my notifications on for your channel. One of the best Avatar The Last Airbender channels that I truly enjoy

Uncle Irohs tea shop?? You mean THE JASMINE DRAGON 🐉

In the legend of korra, the library and wan shi tong was in the spirit world. Maybe the gang will find him and library there in season 2 which is why zhao didn’t find it. That would be a way to show the spirit world again which was kinda never used again after season 1.

if they are utilizing on-set locations, especially for Book 2 which is mostly set in the Earth Kingdom, China's Hengdian World Studios with its near-accurate copy of the Forbidden City is a suitable candidate as Ba Sing Se (especially the Inner Ring) is more or less patterned after Qing Dynasty also, since I've watched "Empresses in the Palace", "The Story of Yanxi Palace", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "In Love With Power", "Marvelous Women", and perhaps even "Scarlet Heart / _Bu Bu Jingxin_ ", the OG "Return of the Princess / _Huanzhu gege_ ", & the OG "Palace / _Gong Suo Xin Yu_ ", I am expecting a more-or-less green versions of the _qizhuang_ outfits as well as _liangbatou_ & _dalachi_ headdresses

Lol... I am 17 yo but I am only 5' 1/2" and my voice makes people think I'm 13 :T

I'm hoping that the writers and director are going for a slow burn, instead of making Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee epic badasses right from the start.

Wait, there was a Togh fan film? One second- Brb 😂 I am back and she was perfect.

Slight correction: "to become the fierce warrior she IS inside" She IS a fierce warrior. She doesn't just believe she's one

nothing matters unless they improve writings. first season was so bad because of it. if they don't change the writing team it will remain mediocre.

Of two minds on the idea they're looking for a blind character. In part because on one hand they're looking for someone who is blind, but they're also looking for someone who acts as though they can see most of the time (through earthbending, through whatever means, it's a common trope.) A sighted person can learn to fake being blind convincingly (see Daredevil), but without good stage direction and a bit of skill/talent, a blind actor may have trouble selling the idea that they can see through their earthbending. I guess what I'm saying Netflix, is please DO NOT feel like you must cast a blind person who is less ideal for the part just because they meet some token diversity quota. We don't need to be pandered to or patronized. Oh, we do need faithful representations of disability in media. Sighted or blind, you can do that if the time is taken to show that even without earthbending, Toph was never "blind and helpless", not with her personality! Show her running away, finding a downed limb (possibly by tripping over it), feeling it up and down, pulling away smaller limbs and leaves from it, fade to the last moment of her stripping it into a cane at least 2/3 her height… Show her probing the ground in front of her, smiling, and moving on. Then show her meeting badgermoles if you like. Anything remotely like that would show you Get It when it comes to blindness and that you understand Toph, regardless of who you cast. Being blind myself, I'd certainly love to see a blind character be cast … but given the choice I want the show to be good over the show ticking some token inclusion box.

I'm glad they aren't worried about spending more money on this series by not doing volume, it shows they want to make the best product they can with season 2 and 3.

I absolutely disagree on hiring a blind/low-vision actor because then the actor would act like a blind person and that is a problem because Toph can see as well as a person who isn't blind, the only thing she's blind to is the sky and objects that aren't touching the ground. I DO NOT want to see a blind actor who walks and interacts with people and things like a blind person because that just isn't who Toph is! this doesn't mean I hate disabled actors, my uncle is blind. it's just that I REALLY don't want Netflix to fuck up my favorite character in Avatar the last airbender

Either a pale skin northern Chinese girl play Toph or none at all. There’s. Millions of pale beautiful Chinese girls to play Toph. Do it right!

I’m planning on submitting an audition! I really want the part because Avatar is my childhood and when I started wanting to become an actor, I really badly wanted to work on something from my childhood either a video game franchise or cartoons and now I have that chance.

Dude I actually tried jasmine tea for the first time the other day and it's so delicious. Best tea I've ever had. Didn't know tea could be that good.

I hope a blind person actually plays her or at least illegally blind person as I’m legally blind, and I feel like it’d be so cool

Mid late teens?! She's supposed to be like 12

Toph sees ants in middle of the night. She can't see flying things. We don't have earth seismic sense.

As someone who is visually impaired. It’s nice to see them prioritizing the blind aspect. Though I do not watch the adaptation.

I’m so happy they are prioritizing low vision and disabled actresses. As a disabled person seeing actual disabled actors play disabled roles just makes me so happy

I got soo happy that they want someone who is low-vison or Blind for the role! Makes it so pure in that way! Will be so cool to watch when it comes!!!

Oh cool!!
