As long as they can act the part its fine with me. I'd hate the movie if they got all the races right but the acting is something even my dog wouldn't eat. Besides no one in Avatar looked Asian save two or three characters and a lot of the older/minor characters. Just like anything anime or anime influenced. Which in turn was influenced by western animation.... sooo everybody looks white anyway. That's not the point I was making. Animation is already an ambiguous take on the subject of who looks like who. It's just as simple as slapping wide eyes on a character, add black hair, and go viola, instant Asian, but you also have to keep in mind Avatar is world beyond our own. While this could give certain leeways when it comes to casting, I think it belittles the vast amount of well-researched Asian cultures the creators have put their time and effort on. The show IS blatantly Asian. Why isn't the cast? XDXD! Ok guys...let's get back on topic. Surely Neo is feeling abit...awkward right about now. True, but personally, I gotz t3h yellow fever! I gotta confess. For the life of me, I have absolutely no clue why the Non-Asian guys have a thing for Asian chicks. Absolutely no clue. Why are you guys hitting on my wife? Psxy, make 'em stop! That's what I'm talking about! There was so very little of her in Book 3 I can't even get her name straight! No, no... it wasn't... bad. Just not as good as we were led to believe. They really dropped the ball on a lot of subplots, which either wasn't handled well (Aang/Katara) or simply non-existant (what... no Koh follow-up?). Yeah, after the phenomenal Book 2 it was kind of a let down in some ways. Indeed. I don't buy the reasoning the creators gave to take out Zuko's mommy plot. They claim it to be important enough to hold its own merits. I cry bull donkey. How is Zuko's quest more relevant then Aang's quest to save the friggin' world? Season Three was a victim of bad pacing. The fillers for the first seven or so episodes were merely average in quality (with a couple of exceptions) and it had my least favorite episode EVER: "The Beach". What a terrible, TERRIBLE episode. It's a running gag in my life: I happen to like Season Two series much more then Season Three. My DeviantArt My Danny Phantom Website

But its not a deal breaker. It's almost borderline racist to hate the movie, before you even see it, just because Asians aren't the main characters. I want good actors and a good story that's all.

Kind of a downer, really. The scar is an important piece of Zuko. My DeviantArt My Danny Phantom Website

Do the original creators have little to no right to any influence of ideas made in the movie making process? I mean If I could just hear their opinion of the casting then my or anyone else's opinions wouldn't matter to me as much anymore. Since their opinion would basically be "word of God" in this scenario. It really really urkes me that they never came out to either support or oppose the casting options. They probably wanted to keep their hands out of the piranha pool that is fan warfare. But anyway, Neo. Please accept my apology if I said anything to upset you ealier. And on a random note, where there any black people in Avatar? I can't remember. May have been some dotting the background. Sonic x Lady of the Lake Last Edited By: D B Vulpix 05/25/2009 4:18 PM.

Last I checked, Bryan and Mike were on board for the movie, playing a close role with it (which eased the minds of some fans - not me though) but how much input they have or how much they approve is unknown. And no need to apologize. I figured that comment was headed my way when it wasn't.

Last thing I want to see is some tribe of proud warrior magical negroes, no thanks I'll pass... Hopefully the trailer for this gets leaked (most likely) but if it's true they have a budget of a quarter billion for the trilogy, that seems insane. lol at the lack of asian characters. This is America! Let me know when Asians get top billing (Like on Will Smith/Keanu Reeves levels) and gets a love interest who isn't Asian. Bonus points if it isn't a martial arts film! Timon: Boy, he looks blue... Pumbaa: I'd say brownish-gold Timon: No no no, I mean he's depressed Pumbaa: Oh...
