The earthbenders who were in prison surrounded by LITERAL earth, and then it took all those earthbenders to bend one tiny little rock, is peak comedy 😂
I was thinking in my head that there was no way this was the prison. WHAT WAS THAT SCENE. So embarrassing.
Honestly, it's worse than that. That small group were doing absolutely nothing. Just spontaneously dancing for some reason. You can see that it was a separate guy just barely in frame that threw the rock.
I've heard people say that group of earthbenders was apparently bending a wall to protect from the firebending? Even still though, that's so insanely lame lmao.
@@gamingeagle19they raised and lowered the rock wall right before the tiny rock flies in. Just awful scene composition
Six Earth benders -I’M A LITTLE TEAPOT SHORT AND STOUT!
That one guy- Don’t worry guyes I got this. Take that.
One of the greatest joys about ATLA is feasting on the pain of a reactor watching this movie...
😂😂
I'm literally laughing out loud at every cringe. Oh man.
@@funnylilgalreacts This movie is 1 out of 10. Your reaction to it is 10 out of 10

You can practically see the moment their soul dies.
I always tell people that this film is the LITERAL definition of failing an open book test.
Omg yes
@@funnylilgalreactsat least Seychelle Gabriel pulled herself out of this mess
@@agentspaniel4428 True. I just looked at the rest of the cast, none of which recovered. This movie destroyed most of their careers. It was that bad..
@@07Flash11MRC Damn, I knew it was probably the worst movie in history, but I didn't know it ruined THAT many careers.
Yes that is exactly how it is

@@funnylilgalreactsthat was my reaction when I heard sawka and I saw Appa
Edit: I spelt Appa wrong
You, before watching: "Surely people are overreacting, how bad can it possibly be?"
You, after the first 10 min: "oh"
I seriously thought about turning it off.
@@funnylilgalreacts lmfao
@@funnylilgalreacts that's what concerns me about coming TV show, characters having only serious facess in trailer. Hope they don't stepp on the same rake twice...
@@Alvaro89Rus But they don't, in the teaser Aang is laughing and smiling for at least a bit, with Momo.
@@funnylilgalreacts but I loved your optimism about finding something nice to talk about! 😂 Sure, it didn’t last long but at least you tried.
She didn't have to leave in *every* instance of her correcting Aang's name, but she did, and I appreciate that.
No, it got annoying _really_ quickly. I know US-Americans in their arrogance think their English pronunciation of foreign names and terms ("avatar" being a Sanskrit word) used in the series is the "correct" one when it isn't. But this is the _one_ instance where the movie actually gets it correct and uses the proper Japanese pronunciation ("Ee-roh" instead of "Eye-row" for Iroh's name for example), which is the pronunciation used in the International dubs, too. But I agree the US-American release should've just used the pronunciation that people are used to from the animated series. But CONSTANTLY insisting that the American pronunciation must be the right one, by yelling "Äng!!", that's kinda is a form of cultural appropriation too.
A great drinking game! 😏
@@TF2CrunchyFrog This is a fictional world. The names should be whatever they are in the original. The fact that some of the cultures have inspiration from real world ones doesn't matter. And even if it did, each of the nations draws inspiration from multiple sources. The fire nation is not Japanese, it's a mixture, it has Chinese, Thai, and Japanese influences. There is no "proper" Japanese pronunciation of fictional names that were originally created in English. Iroh, Zuko, Azula, etc. are not real Japanese names.
You can literally get Japanese/Chinese people to pronounce the name in it's original form if you write it differently in English. The dub argument is so stupid since they only pronounce it differently because of the way it's written, Iroh. If you change it to Eeroh/Eyroh they'd say it the exact same way as the original.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog These names, though made up, their pronunciation has been established in the series. The people are not imposing it's only the American pronunciation is correct to say the names but, they just need to be loyal to the source material. Would you have your name butchered in Starbucks? I don't think so.
And if the series pronounced their names like Ong, Eero, Swokka, etc. I believe it would also be accepted and not be irritating, to say the least.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog 'proper japanese pronunciation' Wrong. The series was not set in Japan but a fictional world. The correct pronunciation therefore was whatever they decided it was. Maybe this abomination tried to fix it to pander to morons but there's too much of that already in the world. Also there's no such thing as cultural appropriation. Maybe you don't understand that because you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, so I can explain it if you want.
"I want my goofy happy sokka" "hes dead" cracked me up hard.
My favorite part about this is when the firebenders say “He’s making fire out of nothing!!” Yeah kind of like what they’re supposed to do! You know…like in the show! 😂😂
Yeah, I understand what he was going for. Every other element needs to be physically present. It would also make that moment with Iroh really stick out as a big power scaling thing to show how powerful Iroh is....however it hurts the worldbuilding. Needing fire to be present would make it the weakest element, because everything else is more readily available. Anyone could put out any nearby fire or just not allow standing flames. It wouldnt be practical to bring fire with them everywhere on top of being difficult to maintain. The only thing the fire nation would have is industrial strength...but they didnt focus on that enough to make it seem that way. It just leaves me wondering how the Fire nation got as far as they did in this version.
@@tigerfalco The did it they way Iroh does it. Ever since the war, they lost the true meaning behind fire bending, as taught to Iroh through the dragons. They use the sun and any other nearby heat sources (which is why they get power from Sozen's comet).
@@tigerfalcothe fire nation being able to generate fire from nothing was part of why they are so terrifying as antagonists, and was probably the in universe reason for why they were able to advance faster than the other nations in terms of technology. Most machines in the industrial revolution was powered by heat, coal and steam.
By debuffing the fire nation that much, you not only take away the advantage they need to be interesting antagonists, you make them look like the weakest because all you need to do is put out the fire and they can't do anything
@@nugget3687 exactly!
"For your sake, you better hope you capture the Avatar before my son does..."
What? Ozai never cared about Zuko succeeding. It wasn't a test, it was an intentionally impossible wild goose chase.
Ozai maimed him, banished him, and essentially said "you can't come back until you find bigfoot" just to further humiliate him
That's the tragedy of Zuko's story. Iroh and the audience know what's really happening, and Zuko either doesn't know or is in deep denial about it.
That is just SO fundamental to his character and his arc that it blows my mind that the adaptation could get that wrong. It would be like making a Batman adaptation but the writers forgot Bruce Wayne's parents were killed by criminals.
I despised this Ozai as much as I hated this Zuko. It’s just god awful.
Indeed; odds are Ozai wouldn’t have even bothered warning Zhau because that would imply he actually thought his son and brother were in any way competent and not just a pair of weakling cowards.
It's wild how the ember island player version of the story somehow isn't the worst one.
It’s SUPERIOR
Exactly what I've always said!!!
At least the effects were decent
its my headcanon that this IS the Ember Island Players version 🤣🤣even down to the "effects" of the "play"
It would be wonderfully meta if they got the actors from this movie to play the Ember Island Players in the new live action series.
So I introduced my sister to the show she loved it. When she finished the first season I told her it was a ritual that everyone has to go through after finishing season 1. I sat next to her watching her reaction the entire time, watching her suffer. She actually cried a little bit seeing how terrible it was.
I'm doing the same with my little brother. We're almost at the end of book one. I'm looking forward to showing him this movie.
@@Captain_Pichi_Kosimo you have to keep the ritual ALIVE!!! 😂😂
Seychelle Gabriel, who plays Princess Yue here, goes on to play one of the main characters in The Legend Of Korra.
This movie may have been a trainwreck, but she still ended up getting to play one of the best and most beloved characters in the entire franchise.
Didnt it ruin the other actors careers and confidence?
"That was a really bad play"
"But the effects were decent"
When art becomes life
My head cannon is that they made this episode AFTER the movie and those lines were aimed at it xD
How dare you! The Ember Island Players would have this movie QUAKING
@cassnake1 Sorry to say, the movie came out two years later.
Not even the effects were decent with this movie lol
I bet not even Sokka would say "but the effects were decent" in this.
My god…. SO AWFUL
@funnylilgalreacts at some point during the production, the effects budget was cut, so any time the bending looks like ass (aside from the fact that it takes like 5-7 seconds to do one thing) that's why
Ember Island Players did way better than Shyamalamadingdong
I remember seeing an interview with Shyamalan before the movie came out, in which he described making the movie because his daughter loved it. It was easy to assume he watched it with her to appreciate it. Clearly, he never saw a single episode. He read plot details on paper and came up with his own story. And because he got it all from reading, he put his own pronunciations into it.
He left his daughter forever traumatized, as well as the viewers 🗿🗿🗿
In an interview, he mentioned that he start filming after having only watched the first few episodes
Remember the Season 2 episode Bitter Work where Sokka was stuck in a hole and he was bargaining with the universe to get him out, offering to give up meat and sarcasm? This was Sokka: The Veggies And Straight-Talk Fellow.
LOL After all these years, it's still funny seeing 6 earth benders float a tiny rock across the screen.
If I could’ve melted into a hole and disappeared, I would’ve during that moment. It was so cringe.
@@funnylilgalreacts You could have, if you'd learned earth bending... you probably know more than the guys in that scene if that's any consolation.
It wasnt the group, just the one guy. It's probably the way the camera pans around that some seem to get that appearance, but you look closely, you can see it's just the one guy, because the rock is in front of him and he pushes it, it's not in front of them, and they don't make a pushing move.
@@wolf9walker Then the group was only levitating the pebble (similar to quantum levitation) which made it easier for that one guy to propel it. No other explanation for the intense moves the group was doing. 😂😂
@@Anothy according to an interview with shamalamadingdong the earthbenders are doing something really cool off screen.
"What did they do to his face!" made me LOL. Poor Appa 🤣
😭😭😭
I haven't laughed so hard at a reaction in a long time 🤣🪦
His face worse than zuko's missing scar face
She was so focused on his face that she didn't mention the mutant chicken-legs.
Personally, I liked how they did Aang's arrows in this adaptation. Looks like an actual tattoo design and not like they just painted his head blue.
I think it could have been made a bit darker and more prominent, but I tend to agree. The solid arrow looks fine in animation but I feel like it wouldn't look great in live-action.
I like most of it but I don't like on his back with the two little arrows pointing to the sides.
@@nathanielreik6617 Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense. The arrow comes from the appearance of the air bison and they don't have arrows on their backs.
@@StarkRG i'll give them this. in the avatar state the glowing arrow looked great. i can only assume m.night somehow missed the scene and it got through
Agree, the tattoo looks better in this than in the Netflix show
Angela, I literally laughed out loud when I saw the thumbnail for this. And continued to laugh every time you corrected the mispronunciation of the names. Apparently a pain shared is hilarious. I think your reaction could be the only thing that makes this movie even vaguely watchable.😂
The worst part about the firebending is that it requires an open flame to manipulate. Shayamalan thought that it "wasn't fair" that air, earth, and water all required access to the element in order to bend it, whereas firebenders could produce fire out of nothing. And as we all know the Fire Nation is well known for its adherence to fair play.
It's almost like that would be a big advantage and help them idk conquer the world, like they almost did.
But apparently we need to balance it like it's a video game.
without that fire bending would be at serious disadvantage to other elements
@@Alvaro89Rus No it wouldn't. You think Pyro from the X-Men comics would be at ANY sort of disadvantage in any of this? He's essentially a Firebender.
How about Colonel Mustang from the FMA shows? He can't create fire, either, but the guy can almost level a city.
"Needing a fire to begin with would give them a disadvantage." That's...just about one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. It just means they have to handle what they do a little differently...and really, only SLIGHTLY so. Fire is easy to keep on hand. It's not like Earth or Water that you can cut someone off from.
Now, there is a tactical liability in that snuffing those fires can cause a problem, but firebending still has the same issue that Jeong Jeong pointed out... If you don't control it, then it fully keeps going all on its own. If your source fires are in danger of going out...then just BURN everything anyway. Plus, they can carry a flame with their firebending...they just can't START one with it.
It's not as powerful, but it's far from any kind of overall disadvantage.
Don't crap on one reasonable idea simply because it happened to be part of a movie full of other really terrible choices.
Fairness is dumb. But, being able to make fire out of nothing is still pretty stupid. It's inconsistent. And since actually not being able to make fire would change things, but not actually put them at ANY disadvantage, it's the only thing in this movie that I actually kind of liked.
That's such strange logic. Airbenders can access air literally almost everywhere, and a waterbender can get water from almost anywhere if they're resourceful enough. Even earthbenders could probably be able to bend dust or something. Meanwhile, you can take a firebender's bending away if you just put them in a cold enough environment. Makes no sense.
THAT FACE ON THE THUMBNAIL!!! :D
That's how I felt when I took my children to the midnight showing. As we're leaving, "Daddy, that movie sucked."
Your poor kiddos!
Hearing you correct Avatar and Aang directly after they said it, every time, was making me laugh so much. It truly is a painful experience for all the fans of the show
Always love pointing out how the design of Aang’s tattoo is, iirc, the only suggestion made by the original creators of the show (Bryan Konietzko and Michael Di Martino) that was kept in the final film
Angela before watching: I'll try to find the good in this movie 😊
Angela the entire movie: what the f*ck is this sh*t😑
I TRIIIIIIED!!!!! 😩😩
I hope that's a Grand Budapest reference because that's how I heard it.
@@funnylilgalreacts I'm reminded of a line from DUNE:
"Many men have tried."
"They tried and failed?"
"They tried and *died.*"
I typically do not enjoy watching people suffer. However, watching someone fall in love with the animated series and then watch them suffer through the movie brings a smile to my face. Misery does love company.
its like tradition at this point😂😂
It's too hilarious
You are so toxic, I love it. XD
I cannot describe how much joy and vindication I get from watching a new fan die inside from this movie. It's not just a bad adaptation, it's truly a poorly written and directed film overall.
On the positive side, now you can feel the same as we do if you watch anyone else react to it!
This film was my first exposure to Avatar, and I definitely saw it for the steaming trash that it was. I've seen enough films, especially martial arts films, to know when they're bad. And this was bad. Storm Riders and Shaolin Soccer came out over a decade earlier, and had better effects on smaller budgets.
Before you started the movie you said maybe" I should take a shot every time I don't like something". I blurted out YOU'D DIE IF YOU DID THAT 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh! Fun fact, the actress who plays Princess Yue in this movie also voices Asami, one of the MAIN (lol) characters in The Legend of Korra, so as one of the characters who didn't completely suck in this movie, the fandom loves her. ❤
You refer to Seychelle Gabriel
"recurring" is one way to spell "Main" lmao
I'd argue that Dev Patel as Zuko did... as good as he could've with the material he was given. Since then, he's really shown himself to be a great actor. But even a great actor can only do so much with writing this bad
@@technobabble123 When you drop an oscar winner into your movie and even they struggle, that's how you know you're making a bad movie.
WHAT
The fact that they pronounced almost every name wrong is impressive. It's like they're doing it on purpose.
Oong, sowka, uncle eeroh oh how can I forget the yin and yong like wtf 😂😂
They decided on the "correct" way to pronounce the Asian-inspired names, I believe was the explanation. Dumb, of course.
The names are the thing that bothered me the least from this movie hahaha the way they pronounced them here is the same as in the Spanish dub, so I never knew it was "incorrect" until I watched the series in english 😅 it was weird to get used to the pronunciation
they are, for some reason they decided to use a " correct" accent, asian i belive they said, to be more """"acurate"""" ...like🙅♂🙅♂🙅♂🙅♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
@@joeconcepts5552 Misguided at best. That probably was the reason but it wasn't set in Earth's asia it was somewhere else with pronunciation already established. Changing canon with an inferior product only makes them look worse... and with this writing and direction, they could not afford that.
I never get tired of watching other Avatar fans suffer through this 😂
You can tell right from the opening that Shyamalan didn’t really care too much about the show. He just put random squiggles where the Chinese characters for the elements go.
I am legitimately laughing at every correction and the increasing intensity behind each increment:
"Soka"
"Sokka.
"Ong"
"Aang!"
"Ah-vatar"
"AVATAR."
"Agni Ki"
"KAI!"
"Eeroh."
"IIIII-ROH."
its got that "its under the sauce" energy
tbh some of them where wrongly pronounced in the original show ........
it is pronounced A (as in last letter in australia) -vatar
--------
Iroh is neither pronouncey AYROH nor EROH
@@baronbrummbar8691no, the show pronounces them all correctly
@@destroyerofnirn3537 no it doesn.t ....... many of the names are from reallive
-
and they where butchered by the actors of the show that simply pronounced them in an english manner
-
espacily what i mentioned about the A is a big problem in the english language
A is in almost all languages prounounced like the 3th a in australia
-
what english people ussuly call "A" (like the A in apple)
is Ä, AE, ɛ, è, æ in other languages to specify that you pronounce it that way
wrong. the names in the show are pronounced correctly.@@baronbrummbar8691
When my friends and I went to see it, they said Ah vatar and an adult threw his soda, yelled “Bullshit”, then stormed off.
I hope that dude is doing well.
Based reaction
The "He's trying to eat me" line at the beginning was actually funny and had a great delivery. They actually did well for about the first 3-4 mins of the movie. And then shit the entire content of their bowels out for the rest of the movie
The fire lord throne room, the imperial helm of the most powerful nation, was filmed in a basketball court. And once you know that it becomes painfully obvious whenever you see it
One of the worst parts about this movie is that Noah was so close to Aang behind the scenes. If he could just have been himself on screen. That his career was killed right there is a shame
He had wonderful cartoonishly big eyes. If he’d just smile, that’d be Aang.
He wasn't great, but that's more the fault of the writer and director (which was the same person here). A lot of the acting was bad, even by people who we know are great actors. A director doing a good job can get good acting out of mediocre actors. A director doing a shit job with a shit script will get shit acting out of the best actors in existence.
Tbh you see that because the movie doesn't even allow Aang to be the main character. On this movie, Katara is the main character, all the story is told by her, through voiceover but also because she basically says things Aang "told her off screen" all the time. She's like "Aang told me" to Sokka all the time, like bruh, why not have a scene between Sokka, Katara and Aang to explain? You know, actually SHOW don't TELL. Naive part of me could think it's because Katara is the voiceover/narrator on the show as well, so it's a (way too) extended version of that. (But also why erase the scene between Aang and Zuko? Exactly the same problem with Sokka and Yue "they became friends right away" but oh well no scene). But I can't help but feel a little bit cynical and feel like Katara has this huge part of "bridging" the story because producer-papa Peltz pushed for it, just like he pushed for his daughter to be in it. No writer in their right mind would think that THIS is a good script, where everything is off screen and Katara just narrates.
If he had it off camera but not on camera, that's on the director. Also on casting, because they cast a kid that was a highly trained martial artist and figured "we can teach him to act". Casting made so many bad decisions in this film, but in the end, it's the director that is responsible for those choices. It's their film.
@@PaulGuy A good director can get a decent acting performance from a mediocre actor. A bad director is likely to get bad acting performances even from amazing actors. While I do think mistakes were made in the casting (mostly race-swapping), the bad performances were the direct result of bad directing.
It's amazing how you went from "I thought the movie was okay. Not great, just okay." to "They did my babies SO DIRTY" lol you're a true A:TLA fan now 😂
Just finished watching your reaction...
1. my condolences for having to go through this trauma. On the plus side you stuck with it, got through it and are much more resilient now.
2. You probably watched it when it first came out, but deep down your subconscious knew it was so bad you'd be better off forgetting it ever happened.
3. "Clusterstorm" is now going into my vocabulary. Thank you for making me laugh today.
Looking forward to your Korra reactions.
Yip-Yip!
Ah yes, all your favorite characters are here! Ong, the Ahvatar himself. Soaka, the serious one. And you can't forget Eeroh, the skinny legend.
Your reactions to ATLA have been some of my favorites (and I've watched a *lot* of first time ATLA reactions). Your sunny outlook, empathy, and emotional vulnerability are all so refreshing!
Welcome sister, you've passed the Rite of Passage, now you're an oficial Avatar Fan lol
“THIS IS MY PILE OF CRAP” LOL - That sentence alone is better than the whole movie 😂
This film feels like they cut major characters and character development moments for foreshadowing like mentioning the great library and Hama, like we’d be that Leonardo DiCaprio meme whenever we saw something we recognised
This is the only movie on opening night that I wanted so badly for it to end. I was so angry when i left the theater.😂
Omg I watched theater reactions as everyone was leaving and they were BROKEN and angry.
I didn't last 20mins i was weak to the torture that is this movie. And left.
@@adrianhunte6014 Luckily the trailer already put me off so much, that I never watched. This hilarious reaction is probably the best thing that came off this abomination of a movie.
Yeah the golden times when we still had hope and expected a good adaptation. After this and a lot of further failures I became quite bitter and really distrustful of any reboot or live action adaptation. But once in a blue moon there comes along something like Wednesday or One Piece.
The Eragon movie is probably the only other one that upset me just as much as this haha
This was one of the most fun times I've ever had in the theatre. Me and my friends went in so excited, we wanted outside for the midnight release (as early teens that was a a really big deal) and after like 5 minutes of shock. we were howling with laughter for the rest of the movie.
That’s basically my experience with this movie as well. I don’t think it ever could’ve been as good as the show, so I actually kinda love that it’s so bad it’s hilarious lol
I had a fun time watching this in theaters - my friend had gotten us free advanced screening passes and the whole audience were super fans of ATLA. We were all booing, throwing popcorn, correcting pronunciation, cracking jokes and cheering everytime someone would leave the theater - the kind of audience participation you really only get for Rocky Horror Picture Show. This movie is a nightmare.
Going through all stages of grief with you. A few years after it came out I watched it again thinking 'maybe I overreacted, maybe it's not as bad as I remember it, surely there must be something redeeming about it' And somehow, it gets WORSE with time!
I'm sorry you watched it, but welcome to the there is no movie group
Things that look cool in this movie:
1. The Beginning Sequence
2. Aangs Tatoos
3. The Outside shot of the Northpole.
End of List
I'd add the fire nation ship to the list, but yeah that's about it
Something that I've come to appreciate is that when adapting another project, directors often try to put their own spin on things in order to make it their own and not just a copy/paste adaptation. That being said, it really did seem like every spin he put on it was a bad one. It's like reading a novel and knowing what happens but not understanding why it happened and then making a movie off what you think you know. So it is, this movie shall live in infamy and as a yardstick for everyone else's adaptations and thankfully, he won't be able to ruin any other characters like Suki, Mai, Tai Lee, Azula and most importantly, the Cabbage Merchant.
Or Toph. Toph is perfect. Do not touch Toph.
Firstly, her name would probably be pronounced "toaf". She'd be 17 and a love interest for Sokka. She wouldn't actually be blind, but she'd wear a bandana over her eyes to help with her bending. She'd be a proper, demure, high-society girl who complains about getting her dress dirty. She wouldn't invent metal bending, she'll have been taught by the greatest metal bender ever known.
This is why many people theorize the Island Player Theater’s production of The Boy in the Iceberg was at least partially influenced by this movie, as that episode was made after this movie was in theaters.
I'm glad you didn't actually take shots while watching, I would've been greatly saddened to hear of your passing from Alcohol Poisoning. Now that you are at your lowest point, you are open to the greatest change. You are ready to watch Korra now.
😅 I’m happy I thought against it as well
Excellent reference to TLoK my friend.
Yes, trip to the hospital averted. 😂
Time to watch Korra? Shouldn't we be trying to make her feel better?
@@30noir i mean tlok isnt bad, its just set differently, i personally think that it is good that they went the way they did and im really looking forward to the earth Avatar next. Also the Netflix Series of Aang will be not like the movie i suppose and will strongly hold onto the main story with additional stuff.
The bending hurt to watch, because it was supposed to be based on martial arts. In the show, the elements reacted to their technique, like extensions of themselves. In the movie, for some reason, they basically turned it into ritual dancing, doing entire katas to create effects that don't resemble the movements of the individual.
21:25 "He's dead" THANK YOU Editor! I needed that XD. This is hard to get through and you are an absolutely TROOPER for putting up with it. Thank you for sharing our pain @funnylilgalreacts
The cutaways were just chef's kiss
My favorite part of the movie is the floating ball of endless water. No matter how much is spilled it stays the same size
I grew up watching the show. I was so excited to see the film. He has an interview with the creators if the show in the season 2 box set. I Absolutely believed he was really their biggest fan. Went to the midnight opening in full Zuko cosplay, makeup, and contacts. The entire theater was silent when the film was over. I have never been so disappointed after leaving like that. I didn't even stick around for pictures. Everyone just quickly and quietly got to their cars. So brutal.

Oh, one more thing: the tattoos that Ong has in this movie are one of the only things I like about it. They're based on the Thai Sak Yant tattoos, which I've always loved the aesthetics of. Look into it some time if you get the chance. They're sacred tattoos performed by Buddhist monks and they are gorgeous.
so many painful scenes but one that particularly bothers me is when "Oong" and Zuko fight, he walks away and says "We could have been friends". A line poached from a beautiful scene in the animated series when Blue Spirit Zuko wakes up and Aang talks about friends from the Fire Nation. Such a great and touching moment reduced to an awkwardly delivered throw away line.
Top 3 moment in the series to me. Showed so much about who Aang is. His innocence, heart, optimism all in one short interaction. How they did it in this movie was a slap in the face
Angela spent half of the movie correcting names, and the second half just sighing 😂
My favorite commentary on this movie was from Hello Future Me; one thing he pointed out was that some of the effects like the ice sphere Aang emerged from are actually pretty good but the effects Budget clearly ran out before they were done filming. There are a bunch of scenes where actors are supposed to be water bending and they were clearly told "imagine water flowing and swirling all around you, it's going to look amazing!" but NOTHING happens 😂
Wasn't his video like two and a half hours? 😂😂 I think he called it the worst movie ever made. And then defended that claim. 😂😂
The stomp the yard sequence to move ONE ROCK!!!
Oh my God that whole sequence I swear if I could’ve just melted through the floor, I would’ve
When I first saw that, I thought to myself, "Didn't something like this happen in meet the spartans?"
“The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented.” Roger Ebert
At least they didnt have Suki to mess up. That probably would have been Sucky 🤣
Fun fact: Seychelle Gabriel, who plays Yue in this movie, is a voice actor in Legend of Korra
Seychelle is great, and she's the only good thing to come out of this dumpster fire. I'm so glad she got redemption in Korra.
4:05 “why am I nervous I shouldn’t be nervous” me whenever I see another reaction to this film😭😭😭
13:51 The reaction I was looking for 😂😂😂
7:48 "What is wrong with your faaaaaace?" - Redlettermedia
With 12 earthbenders to throw a pebble, a hand to hand battle is more efficient.
The biggest issue I’ve always taken with this movie is how they nerfed firebenders, and made it so they can’t just produce flame, but need to pull it from an existing fire. On top of everything else it does wrong lmao
My real issue is, if firebenders in general can't create fire here, just control fire from a source like a fireplace, then WHAT THE F*CK IS THE COMET FOR? They wont bw stronger since they don't even have the power to create fire, what's the boost of the comet then?
Idk, who knows? Maybe it’d be similar to the moon for waterbenders, but I could be wrong too… Real good point tho
This is actually the only part I like in the movie. All the other benders need their element around to use it only fair the firebenders do to. With the exception of powerful benders which makes Zuko Iroh Azula and Ozi more intimidating
@@marcusadrielsalesramos9601 I enjoyed the nerf makes those who can make fire look stronger. I always figured the comet passing gave off heat that would make all firebenders strong enough to create fire. Kinda like how in the show the moon gave waterbenders enough power to (spoilers) bloodbend
Actually, if you think about it, firebenders being able t o generate fire, is what makes all the elementes being balanced, and makes they be wining the war possible, if they needed a source of fire it would be a total nonsense:
1-Airbenders have air all around them to bend.
2-Waterbenders can pull water out of the thin air, so they also have water most of the places, a waterbender usually wouldn't go to the desert.
3- There's earth everywhere for earthbenders to use, an earthbender would never go to the water tribes or to a metal place without a reason, the entire continent is their material to bend.
Now think about it, how in any realistic way, could the firebenders be wining this war if they always need a source of fire? How are they gonna fight the water tribes if they can just throw some water in their fire camp? How are they gonna fight the earthkingdomn since sand can put out fire?@@jpayne316
I think my "favorite" fact about the movie is Shyamalan kept talking about how much his children loved the show and how he was going to make something they would love and be proud of. I think he never talked to his children while making this movie.
They probably don't talk to him anymore lol
Your face in the thumbnail is exactly how we all feel about this movie! Perfect reaction
It was really nice to see you pick up on really detailed, but important, failings in the story. really good to see a true fan be disappointed at every detail like the rest of us :)
21:30 not showing iroh's heartwarming reveal about his son and how he feels about zuko
26:40 "air nomad"
I mean there's also the erasure of Roku which is... good luck for the rest of the saga yknow? Then the fact that "The Avatar can't have a family" well good luck again for the rest of the saga, and explaining Zuko's backstory. Aang mastering the Avatar State by the end of the movie, just like that; which again, good luck for the rest of the saga, because you know, he basically forces himself to control the Avatar State ONLY by the end of book 2, only to be zapped out of existence by Azula and getting his chakra blocked for THE WHOLE SHOW. And the fact that Aang is afraid of the Avatar State and doesn't like not being able to control this power, is a HUGE part of his character. AND a huge part of the finale itself! Then there's Aang, you know, the Avatar, *protector of spirits* , who does not go at all help the Ocean and the Moon Spirits, but he goes to fight some random firebenders which is??? "The Avatar is not supposed to harm anyone" literally HUH???? That would erase Aang's entire struggle as a pacifist airbender, the LAST ONE of his kind, having to choose between his duty as the Avatar (aka killing Ozai) or his beliefs (aka finding a way to not kill him but stop him nonetheless). The two other movies would have been on a catastrophic level of wtf had they been made, because of all the things they fuck up on this movie.
The expression in the thumbnail says it all...
The director is known for his twists. Leading up to the release of this film he led us all to believe he was a big fan of the series and wanted to bring the magic of the series to life. The twist was the movie he produced while spouting all that.
I don’t even need to watch your reaction. The thumbnail says it all. Most effective thumbnail ever! 10/10 shot selection on Angela there. No notes.
The 2 hour movie is basically the cliff notes for Book 1, with someone rewriting core plot points (like the Firebending thing).
I absolutely love that this film is like "lets leave em hanging for the sequel" that's so delightful in hindsight
This movie out of quite a few are prime examples not to adapt beloved TV shows into movies just to make a quick buck and it should be made with tender love and care.
The best part of this movie is giving it out as a gift for birthdays or Christmas. There are few things as satisfying and entertaining as watching the light and joy drain away from someone’s eyes as the open it.
That is not good at all
Having watched your reaction to the series, and how hard you fell in love with it, i wanna say you are so, so brave for watching this for us! Thank you FunnyLilGal.
I enjoyed watching the happiness drain out of your face. It was one of those "YES! THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE" moments.
"It's like a cluster f*ck and a sh*t storm had a baby" 🤣 When it comes to this movie, that is saying something nice. The faults are too many to list and many have been said already. Though one that really makes me angry with the earthbender "prison" scene: that whole story was one of Katara's defining moments and a huge triumph for her. Here, she's barely involved, it's all Ong 🤮giving the motivating speeches and taking all the credit. Pitiful. Oh, also I love how Zhao apparently has the fastest ships in the fleet as he is constantly sailing all the way back to the fire nation (and why does it look Roman?!) to consult with Ozai then all the way back to the northern water tribe within hours. Loved this reaction, made my day!!
I pushed my gf to go to the theatre with me on opening night to see this. I legitimately think it was a big contributor to us breaking up.
😂 wow but also, yes.
"How do I make it apparent that I have a gf?"
@@muzikveoyun37 "How do im make it apparent that im bitter and alone?"
@@LegioXXI I actually do have a partner but I don't go screaming it into others' faces, cause I am confident.
Clearly @@muzikveoyun37
I believe Dev Patel has officially apologized for the live action movie. And to be fair, he wasn't too bad as Zuko given what he had to work with.
7:57 LMAO ur reaction to appa was everyone’s reaction tbh
WHY DID THEY DO THAT?????
Also the chicken feet instead of paws
:::::SHIVERS::::::
Fun fact: Jackson Rathbone was originally cast as zuko but was switched out with dev patell right before filming and the director decided to have him keep his performance the same. That's why the movie makes sokka look stiff and humorless
Omg that’s somehow worse and better at the same time
@funnylilgalreacts I originally thought it was a holdover from twilight
Also fun fact: If you watch the Sokka outtakes/deleted scenes, you realize why. Jackson acts just like Sokka. I was so furious. Because if Jackson had played himself, he would have done a better performance. Why the director choose a perfect fit to then act like Zuko makes no since.
@@kevinmorbidthelostcronin1984The same thing was true for the actor who played Aang. Some of the casting in this movie was actually excellent. M. Night just absolutely ruined it with the direction.
3:03 Ahng’s tattoo was admittedly really cool. Impossible to do in an animated series because of how intricately detailed it is, so I can appreciate it here.
Also I do like that they cut out Yue’s pointless betrothal storyline. But that was probably just for time, because even without it her and Sokka’s “relationship” was still underdeveloped.
Fun fact: M Night Shaymalan’s daughter was a hugeee fan of the show, which is why he wanted to make a live action adaptation.
I hope she’s okay.
I remember that, reading that she had been so excited to see Katara, a brown girl like her being badass. It's baffling that he made the casting choices he did, I was so sad for her.
He left her traumatized for life. 💀💀💀
This has got to be some form of child abuse...
She probably ran away from home
The "he's dead" line you inserted at 21:24 was perfect and hilarious 😂 unlike this movie's Sokka 😒
Oh well, "there is no movie in Ba Sing Se."
Round of applause to Nathanael for his amazing editing 😂
14:02. And her spirit is breaking...
Thank you for suffering through that for our enjoyment. The only thing missing would be a "name correction counter" in the corner. The names were my biggest beef when I first saw this, and I knew fully what I was getting into.
Your reaction to Appa's face was just perfection....exactly the reaction I (and probably most of us) had
Hopefully, Netflix looks at this movie to know all about WHAT NOT TO DO and hopefully, they learn from it. Found your channel a little while ago and been loving all the reactions!! Keep up the great work!
Everyone rags on the earthbenders throwing their dinky little rock but can we talk about how unbelievably slow and stupid the Katara vs Pakku fight was?
So embarrassing… They rushed all of the good parts, and filled it with dialogue to just give us tons of slow movements, slow motion, and pauses that lasted lifetimes
@@funnylilgalreacts Shamalamadingdong apparently purposefully made the bending super slow and wanted it to look more like a dance instead of a martial art. Which considering the show poured its heart into showcasing the martial arts and fighting makes that decision a complete slap in the face.
It’s totally possible you saw this and completely wiped it from your memory. It’s insanely unmemorable. I remember I was the biggest avatar stan at the time and it was the first movie I actually fell asleep to. And I’m ok with that
I saw this with my sister and her husband opening night.. we knew 5 minutes in that it was absolute garbage.. my sister wanted to walk out like many people around us did.. but my brother in law and I decided we wanted to see just how bad it would get, and it didn't disappoint. 😂 we started guessing how they would ruin the next scene and how they would change a characters name.
Me and my dad always guessed the twist in Twilight zone and see who was right. Those were some fun times.
Every time I've watched a React channel go through the whole show and then the "movie", it still hurts my heart. But for as much much as it hurts, it really does solidify just how amazing a "children's" show can be.
I remember watching this as a kid in theaters. My whole family was excited. I remember feeling kind of confused and empty by the time we left
This film has produced endless goldmines!! People are either creating lengthy videos of tearing this film apart or traumatizing themselves watching it!! I'm all here for it!!😂😂
The overly elaborate movements were because M. Knight had this idea that bending needed to be "charged up" by lots of elaborate movements. They couldn't just use it as extension of their martial arts, it was a magical thing that needed extra energy... you know, explicitly what the very first episode of the show explains it not to be. It's also why firebenders couldn't create fire from nothing? That was an M. Knight thing as well.
