How can I let Nick know that I really want a blu-ray set? Like, really? Especially since the episodes were broadcast in high quality anyway, so its not like HQ versions aren't available for them to put on a disc...

No they weren't. They could have taken the guards around them....but ALL THE OTHER GUARDS IN THE PRISON? Then where were they going to go and how where they going to get there (the prison, iirc, was on an far away island)? Were they going to spend the rest of their lives as fugitives? With AZULA...

Argh, I'm going to ignore the talk of live-action until something concrete appears and continue to assume (hope) that this is an animation-only work. This is pretty much the only thread I'm following nowadays on TZ, simply thinking of a new Avatar animated work has me pumped.

This yet again makes me wonder why they waited so late to green-light another Avatar animated production. A new tv series airing prime-time on Nick seems like it'd bring a lot more hype and attention for the movie than marathons of repeats on Nicktoons.

Thanks for the edit list; I think its good to have things like this on record, both for conversation sake and historical purposes. One sad thing is that these edits line up pretty closely with the Saban edits from the original DBZ English dub; it makes me feel like I'm back in the late 1990's...

Had same problem in Hawaii; first 11 minutes, commercial break, then the same 11 minutes repeated. :mad:

So, basically you didn't read my post after the word, "protest." [You know, those paragraphs were I talked about things that can be done besides just protesting, and then talked about the reasons to do something BESIDES expecting immediate drastic positive change?] This vapid spiel quoted above...

Mod Note: Discussion continued from Avatar: The Last Airbender Pre-Release Discussion, Part I (Spoilers). Yes, racism is a problem that has been with us for ages, so we should stop talking about it. Right, ignoring the issue in silence will solve things! Very wrong and dangerously lazy: you...

Yes, racism is a problem that has been with us for ages, so we should stop talking about it. Right, ignoring the issue in silence will solve things! Very wrong and dangerously lazy: you can protest, you can sign petitions, you can alert the media, you can write to the movie studio and other...

For those against the racist casting decisions, here is a Facebook group aimed at fighting against them and protesting the movie, they welcome all!

A boy named "Aang" who is a monk that was raised by other obviously Asian monks, wears Tibetan clothes, has characters for his name, studies Ba qua and whose ultimate role in life is tied to Hindu mythology. Probably not white. No. Just, no. http://aang-aint-white.livejournal.com/4398.html...

Some of us still think that racism is still bad, yes. You're crazy if you think Katara, Sokka and Aang are supposed to be Caucasian in the cartoon. Crazy. And the reactionary hiring of an actor of Indian descent (note that originally Zuko was supposed to be played by a Caucasian too) doesn't...

This is a large and important piece of information, do you have a source (link) for it? If not, and you're just speculating, you really should not make such claims as fact, as it helps spread falsehoods and is simply rude to fans like me looking for actual news.

Hi all. So, like it or not, "The Last Airbender" will be out in about a year. Meanwhile it appears that the Avatar animated series was a success, critically and financially (the dvds are selling well on Amazon, and the finale brought in large ratings, as have other publicized events during...
