It bugs me when they take a TV show...Say, Avatar for instance >.>
And decide to make a LIVE action movie of it...even though it's a cartoon.. And it that's not enough......
They decide to have an ALL WHITE cast. Even though the show is CLEARLY asian oriented. It just pisses me off. Like casting an all white cast for an african folk tale or something.

Ah, heard of the controversy.
I'll deal with it the way I'll deal with the Dragonball movie: Ignore it.

I completely agree, Cheshire, and the thing is, the director is a minority! Asian at that! Ridiculous!

Even the creators have mentioned what cultures influence the nations.
Fire Nation was clearly based on Chinese culture, Air Nation on Tibetan monks, Water Tribe on Inuits, etc.
I didn't expect them to find like the right ethnic classes to represent the characters, but it seems pretty obvious they didn't even try.

Also when I mean by Ignoring It as in the Dragonball movie...
I mean I just won't watch the movie. I loved the original show enough. I like the Gaang as they are.

I'll probably watch it because I'm bored, and then bitch about it afterwards like the rest of the world.

Do you think it will really be that bad? Maybe it will. Dragon Ball was a disappointment, so... Hey, if you could cast it, Cheshire, who would you pick to act as the characters? If you were forced to.
