The Last Airbender
Comments3kthis wiki
The Last Airbender is an American media franchise created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, and owned by Viacom International.[1] The franchise is about an Asian-inspired alternate world where some have the ability to bend an element to their will: water, earth, fire or air. The Avatar is the only one who can bend all four elements. The productions include TV animations and a live-action motion picture, along with its related merchandise (clothing, toys, games, etc., etc.).
The Last Airbender may refer to:
- Avatar: The Last Airbender — the original hit animated TV series produced by Nickelodeon that began the franchise.
- M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender — the live-action film adaptation of the first season of the original series, jointly released by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies.

They should've made a "The Last Airbender Element Water: Part 1" movie instead of cramming and editing.
-
I remember when this used redirect to the Film:The Last Airbender article. But I suppose a disambiguation page will do.
-
What the? This is the wrong page. This page is for the show.
-
Wrong. This is the page for the franchise. It also serves as the disambiguation page.
-
We need to get all the comments to The Last Airbender.
-
That's pretty much all of it. You can find the rest in the Film:The Last Airbender page.
-
So... We fan just re post all of the komments we posted.
-
No need. They are all here. (The rest are at the film page).
-
Thanks to some vandal! >:(
-
My dad described the movie as a football game on steroids.
-
Worked so hard to win the game (by taking steroids), yet achieved so little (failing a dope test).
-
Link me to the forum which states we must separate the pages. In my opinion this is completely stupid, as one page would just be racist, the other would just be criticism, and the third (no offence) is just selfish as it is just KaneC's viewpoints.
-
Let's talk about it here: Forum:Separating comments in film pages
-
No offence, but I think my viewpoints are to show how the movie can be adapted to make critics like the movie better. Please proceed to this page for more info: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Fanon:Readapting_A:TLA_(KaneC_suggestions)
-
I don't know if this falls under Film: The Last Airbender 2 or something else, but there really were no side/reoccurring characters other then Haru in the movie. So will M. Night add them (Jet, Jong Jong, June, The Mechanist, ect.) later on or will he just erase them completely from the movies.
P.S. would of added Roku to the small list, but because of the dragon spirit replacing him is alittle iffy.
-
You're fine.
- Jet was merged with Film:Suki but she was cut. :-(
- Jeong Jeong is likely merged with Film:Iroh
- June was hinted off-screen. M.Night hoped to reveal her in the sequels
- The Mechanist... not likely unless there is a fourth movie
- Avatar reincarnation is based of Hinduism, rather than Buddhism, so Aang is Roku is Kyoshi. Roku's flashback was cut. Rather than advising himself, Aang is advised by Film:Dragon Spirit instead of Roku.
-
But it would be nicer if:
- Suki and Jet are separate characters, with Suki being kept in the first movie.
- Jeong Jeong will be there once Iroh is still in jail
- Clue: The Combustion Man might be her.
- The first movie of Book 3 is likely to feature him (since it's the Day of the Black Sun)
- I rather have Roku advising Aang than a dragon fans are not familiar with.
More of these suggestions can be posted here: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Fanon:Readapting_A:TLA_(KaneC_suggestions)

@KaneC: Ooooo.... reboot ideas! Resist the temptation! Work with me, man. Work with me! We can discuss this at Fanon:Readapting Avatar: The Last Airbender.
-
@Hasdi I left a note on composite characters on that page if you're ready to answer. ;)
-
a fourth movie? Hasdi
-
@teddybearlover
- The first movie is called Book 1: Water, based on Season 1
- If greenlit, the second movie will likely be called Book 2: Earth, based on on Season 2
- If greenlit, the third movie will likely be called Book 3: Fire, based on on Season 3
If Paramount wants to split Season 3 into two movies, then there may be enough running time to include the Mechanist and additional story elements:
- The third movie may be called Book 3: Fire, up to the Day of the Black Sun
- The fourth movie may be called Book 4: Air, Sozin's Comet storyline plus Air-related episodes including the Mechanist from The Northern Air Temple episode.
Hope that helps.
-
think you. book 2 can be split into two movies. ask KaneC
-
Agreed. Book 2 should be split, along with Book 3.
-
Sorry this comment is more of a reboot thing, but if I were to reboot TLA I would splite all three book/seasons in two parts. (General parts I would use)
Book 1 part 1 would be from Boy in the Iceberg too Northern Air Temple. Book 1 part 2 would be Water Bending Master too Siege at the North Pt2. Book 2 part 1 Avatar State too Serpants Pass Pt2. Book 2 part 2 City of Walls and Secrets too The Guru Pt2. Book 3 part 1 The Awakening too Day of Black Sun Pt 2. Book 3 part 2 Western Air Temple too Sozen's Come Pt4t: Avatar Aang.
-
Agreed with most of your suggestions, except that Book 1 can be one movie. XP
-
@T-AvatarFan: Yeah, let's talk about your ideas in the reboot page.
-
I've added some ideas from a forum in that page. It may not be my suggestions, but still, take those random suggestions into consideration if you have the time.
-
Everyone, please post/comment any criticism related to the first movie to Film:Criticisms for The Last Airbender. Any racebending comments or any other casting disagreements should go over to Film:Casting Controversy. If you want to suggest anyone for the possible sequel, please post to Film:The Last Airbender 2. Thank you!
-
Hang on a second, isnt this page for general thoughts on TLA, whether its casting, negatives and positive comments etc etc etc????
-
True, but this is to save space and avoid clutter in the comments section.
-
@KaneC: BTW, for reboot discussions, can you and Rassilon work out something? I am thinking either
Film:Rebooting Discussions for the A:TLA film adaptationorFanon:Rebooting Discussions for the A:TLA film adaptation- are we using still title cases or switching into sentence cases? Some film fans (like me) usually scan the changes and comments in the film namescape so... you know what, maybe I should figure out how to use a watchlist feed.UPDATE - the reboot discussions is in Readapting Avatar: The Last Airbender
-
Fair enough
-
why was my response deleted? it was relevant to the post.
-
Which one? XP
-
Hasdi, we're trying to just give our honest opinion on the movie. Not trying to racebend. But like KaneC said trying to save space. =>
-
Well, at least Hasdi gave us different sites to let us vent our frustration.
-
Its on TV for the first time tonight on Sky Premiere (i think) and i felt so disappointed when i read the review. They only gave it two stars. Smh..................Why M. Night? Why did you have to make a big mess of this movie?
-
I felt disappointed when I first saw the reviews too man.
-
This movie won only awards of *Fail* lool
-
No Academy Award, no Golden Globe, no MTV Movie Award, not even a Kids' Choice Award. Fail.
-
No matter how many flaws, rants, golden razzie awards, critic reviews, fan reviews and not even wining a single "positive" award, some people still believe this movie was a smash hit. looool
-
Because it did well in the box office, but that does automatically mean it is a good movie. :/
-
What's even more funny, allot of people who helped M.Night with his films are the same one's who did TLA...all adds up to 1 big Fail.
-
Let's see: James Newton Howard, Sam Mercer, Conrad Buff...Yup, these same guys.
-
my mom is watching the movie right now.
-
Ok, you guys win. Please check my proposal for a spin-off site for TLA film. Thank you.
-
Come on guys Shamalayn is new to action films cut him some slack, sure it wasn't spielburg good, but it was good for a beginner
-
Decent effort, but it still sucked.
-
The film industry is very often unforgiving, critics especially. If you can't deliver even a decent action flick, whether you're new to the genre or not, it's gonna fail in the ratings.
-
Especially when you are not able to adapt a brilliant piece of work properly, like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. These two are prime examples on what TLA are supposed to be like.
-
No, beginners usually know basic film and story structure. What's sad is that he's not even a beginner.
-
A beginner in the epic movie genre. He's the "supernatural with a twist" kind of guy.
-
And even those started to suck. Even see Lady in the Water? Don't.
-
None of M Night's works are better than Sixth Sense or Unbreakable.
-
i haven't watched this movie before, but judging by the pictures and the reactions of friends who have watched it, it is really not very good compared to the cartoon ....
-
Trust me, you are not going to like it. ;)
-
worst movies ever!
-
Movies? You mean there's more than one? XP
-
i mean movie.
-
OK then. Can you think a movie worse than The Last Airbender before jumping to conclusions?
-
I can't think of any from recent memory. TLA broke almost every rule in Film 101. Its not being innovative, its being desperate and it failed.
-
One of its rules: SHOW, DON'T TELL. TLA did that in reverse, which failed miserably.
-
Your a lucky one.
-
the worst movies ever award go to: the last airbender!
-
Hey, there are other movies much worse than TLA. Like Battlefield Earth, Gigli or Pluto Nash.
-
what about RANGO?
-
Best Nickelodeon movie ever! Better than Spiderwick Chronicles and way better than TLA.
-
did you see the trailer for The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn?
-
OK trailer, but I still have high hopes because it's made by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.
-
well i hope The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn is better than TLA.
-
Of course. No Nickelodeon movie will ever be worse than The Last Airbender. Spielberg rocks!
-
And best movie awaed goes to, The Lovely Bones!
-
False. Best movie goes to The Empire Strikes Back.
-
To me: It's a tie between The Empire Strikes Back and LOTR: Return Of The King.
-
It gives me the creeps to know that Katara and Aang will be kissing in books 2&3.
-
Of course they will. It happened in the series. XP
-
This movie was just...ugh. I tried to watch it with an open mind, but no. Just...no. I knew that as a live-action film it wouldn't be completely faithful to the series, but seriously, how did THAT happen?? The only acceptable character was Zuko (in my opinion) but without his ponytail, I nearly turned off the movie entirely.
-
At least be like Harry Potter or LOTR! I agree, as a A:TLA fan, I am completely ashamed.
-
^That is exactly what is was telling my friend. I would seriously like to know mike and bryans honest opinion.
-
^True that
-
I agree J a e. I would love to see M.Night on Judge Judy!
-
Tonight on Piers Morgan: Mike and Bryan reveals dirty secrets behind the making of TLA!
-
LOL, Hasdi that was funny.
-
They better not make a sequel. They'll butcher Toph. She probably won't even be calling Ong "Twinkletoes" or have a sense of humor.
-
Or she'll be like movie Katara, only blind. :(
-
i greed.
-
Sad to see that majority of the characters in the first film are butchered to begin with.
-
I agree... sad sad sad. :|
-
At least keep some of the character's original personality, rather than deviate too much.
-
Yeah agree with KaneC, I bet the second film would be better but gross less because too much people hated the first.
-
Oops, Lego lord didn't log out, above comment was from me.
-
Hopefully another director will resurrect this movie franchise....
-
I think they'll call Toph Tofu or Toeph
-
Well, in an interview, M Night pronounced Toph correctly....
-
When????? I have watched the first about 50 times and still love it.
-
Here's a question: What do you like the most about the movie and hate from the movie?
-
Guys, please don't harass others who have a different taste in movies than yours. It's like trying to justify why one prefer Pepsi over Coke, or why one like to drink Dr. Pepper.
-
Well, considering that TLA is mostly hated by critics and fans alike, whereas Pepsi and Coke are equally as popular around the world while Dr Pepper is hard to find around these parts. That guy just said he likes the movie without specifying why he likes it, since majority hated the movie, except for Hasdi.
-
Its not harassment, he just wants to know what he liked and didnt liked... Is that such a bad question to ask? I some times think its good to get a different opionion, especially when most people on this page has made it clear that they do not like the movie.
-
^What Jae said.
-
@Jae: Asking what the parts they like or do not like is fine. I was referring to a comment I deleted - it had a negative tone as if it is unacceptable for anyone to have a different view of the movie or hold a minority opinion.
-
True. If so, those who like the movie should make a review of their own to have their say. :)
-
Okay, in that case i agree with you. Every1 is entitled to there opinion.
-
Ayup.
-
Went on a website and someone predicted that the next reboot would be in 20 - 25 years!!!! WTH, LOOOOOL!
-
long wait.
-
That's about right. It took 23 years for LOTR to be rebooted by Peter Jackson.
-
Hopefully people will still remember the series by then. :P
-
i Hope so.
-
i want my kids to watch the series. cause this show is my childhood.
-
R u serious!!!???!! No way can they take that long to do a reboot!! >:(
-
Relax. Let's just watch Korra first and see how this goes.
-
Yeah, consideing that I'm ugly too. =<
-
But you're kinda young to play June.
-
Wait, I could probably die my hair a more black and play June!
-
If you're old enough to play her. XP
-
i'm 18 i am old enough to be a actor.
-
Do you think that 14 is old enough?
-
Old enough to be Katara or Azula, but too young to be June.
-
For June? I think you'd have to be a little older.
-
what about me? ma i old enough to be zoku od sokka.
-
If you're tanned, then you can be Sokka. If you're pale, then you can be Zuko.
-
LMAO! XD
-
lol why do you think that is funny?
-
@Teddy Your comment about Aang going to the Avatar state and killing M Night if he was real. Also, anyone noticed that Steve Rogers is frozen like Aang?
-
What does that have to do with the movie?
-
@Teddy Are you trying to promote Captain America here? It has nothing to do with TLA.
-
Don't worry. I'll delete those comments shortly.
-
@Teddy If you want to talk about this, go to the Aang page, not here. This is for the movie only.
-
why did youdo that? (start to cry) Bassmasta2012.
-
Because you're talking about Aang and Steve Rogers, which has nothing do with the movie.
-
whayever i am going to watch some kid video on youtube. i will tell you his user name later.
-
I think that near the end, at the Siege of The North, I think Sokka should have given Yue a ride on Appa. Not a eternity long lecture about Gran Gran and why her hair is white. ~ ~
-
Exactly! Establish a longer relationship between Sokka and Yue to make us care about the two, which includes the ride on Appa. Maybe M Night has not enough money to do that, so he decided to let them chit-chat instead and shift the white hair thing here. There's not enough romance between two, to the point that the urge to feel sad for Yue before she gave her life to the Moon Spirit is gone. It would've been a better version of Yue's sacrifice, but I don't feel that sad compared to the series although that was just mere healing.
-
Uhm... in the novelization, Sokka and Yue went on a Yip-Yip on Appa, just the two of them, surveying the battle scene (on screen?). They then circle back to the spiritual place to fetch Katara and Aang. Appa landed inside on the grass, Sokka and Yue got off and looked for them. Then Sokka spotted Katara slumped against the tree...
You can see parts of this in the featurette and confirmed by Jackson Rathbone in the UGO interview. I guess M.Night ran out of running time. >:(
-
But I wanted to see Sokka and Yue ride on Appa on-screen! And not during the siege, but before the siege, right before the black snow came along. That would have been ,uch better than chit-chat about white hair (a conversation best put before Zhao killed the moon, once the moon turned red). And Nicola don't sound as distraught as her cartoon counterpart when she said that Zuko took Aang away. What happened to emotion? Isn't she supposed to be sad? She also don't look a wee bit concerned about losing Aang after fighting Zuko.
