What the last Airbender (film) should have done.
If you don't know by now, I loathe the last Airbender, directed by M.Night Shamalan. However, I don't want to bash a film without giving concrete suggestions on what the movie should have done. So here it is, what the last Airbender (film) should have done!!
TIME
You gotta make The movie at LEAST 2 hours and 20 minutes. Sure that's a long time, but films like, Transformers Age Of Extinction, and the Lord of The Rings trilogy, all have a runtime that far surpasses my time. Not only that, but all of those films I mentioned made at least 800 million in the global box office. A 2 hour plus film will give the director and writers enough time to explore the world of Avatar.
CASTING
Dear Hollywood, please just cast Asian actors in roles that require Asian actors and actresses. If you want to make some of the characters or one of the Nations filled with white actors and another nation filled with let's say, Indian actors, then I'm ok with that. BUT, at least make aang and all the Airbenders Asian or something! If that doesn't work for the fans then let the whole cast be Asian. Just give Asian actors a chance!
NARRATION
Since there are so many episodes In each season of TLA, having a character like katara narrate through some of the "least" important episodes. I know some people don't like narration, but if you want a good adaptation of a TV show or comic book, then narrating is the way to go.
HAVE FUN!!!
Just have fun!! That's one of the best parts about TLA show!! Yes, aang has the entire world on his shoulders, but that didn't stop him from being a kid, because at the end of the day, he's just a KID! Just like the rest of the main young characters.
