If it's crap... We'll tell you
My thoughts on the New Avatar Pictures.
Okay Let me begin by saying, YES I LOVE THE TV SERIES!!!!!
Now when I heard that a live action movie was coming out I was skeptical, and then I heard about the white washing and became even more skeptical. Then they released these two picture....
What can I say about them, I LIKE THEM!!!!!
That's right I like the looks of it. I actually think this movie actually has a fighting chance. Look at the last picture of Zuko, and try to not say that doesn't look badass.
Some say that the white washing is stupid, and I admit at first I thought it sounded stupid too. But then I read a quote that Producer Frank Marshall said about this controversy.
"Our vision for the movie is of ONE world, made up of four Nations, influenced and inspired by the Asian undertones of the series. This world will have an ethnically diverse cast that represents many different heritages and cultures from all corners of the globe."
After reading that all I could really say was...."That actually makes sense"
The producers aren't making a movie that makes it look like Asians rule the earth(Nothing wrong with that) They're making one world that is separated by four different nations each with Asian undertones. It's not about one community its a bunch of societies all from different races. So basically they aren't letting race become a issue, they aren't looking at these actors saying "Okay you got the acting chops....but sorry can't give yah the job since your not Asian" If you ask me...THAT IS RACIST.
They are looking at these actors saying "hmm he has the talent, and he can act, and he knows martial arts, I think this dude can be Zuko/Aang/Sokka/etc." Also in case you guys haven't noticed, the show this movie is based off...... is an AMERICAN made TV show has ASIAN Undertones (Exactly Like the Movie)
That ends the race discussion
Some are complaining saying that the costumes don't look anything like the TV show, or that the scar on Zuko looks wierd, or that Zuko's hair isn't in a ponytail and all I can say to that is....
GET OVER IT!!!!!
Not everything can be exactly like the TV show. Just because the dude who plays Zuko doesn't look like the splitting image of the cartoon Zuko, doesn't mean the film is going to be bad!!! Heath Ledgers Joker doesn't look anything like the Joker in the comics, but he nailed the character's personalty down pat. Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool doesn't look anything like the comic book character, but he nailed the personality down pat (In the beginning only, the end was a huge cluster-fuck)
Anyone who is already judging the movie already, when all you've seen a few picture is a fucking picky problem child and needs to quit wetting their pants just because the it doesn't look like the TV series.
That's all you guys are doing, your being picky...
"WAHHH Zuko doesn't have a pony tail"
"WAHHH Aang looks a little too young"
"WAHHH the color of Katara's eyes aren't the same color as the one from the TV show"
GET OVER IT!!!
In Short, I'm still going to go see this movie. I'm going to judge it on its story, SFX, and acting, and not whether or the actor should/shouldn't be white.

He has made a few good movies (The Sixth Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable) and the only thing he's really writing in this movie is dialogue (which a large percentage is actually supposedly words from the TV show) the movie still follows the plot of the TV series.

No liberated plot twist.
Same plot from the movie.
They even said it in the Interview the creators of the actual Avatar TV series did with M.Night. They mentioned how tough it was having to take a few things/characters from the TV show out of the movie.
