Okay i caught the show in 3D  just now at 9:15pm. Honestly, I was excited to find out what this show is all about, because I’ve heard that the anime version rox. I wanted to see how the animators would pull off the CGI effects. Boy was I impressed.

I’m a fantasy buff, all these spells and flying and element-bending shit can keep me awake throughout the night. The show certainly kept up with the fantasy element, coupled with great action sequences. It was enjoyable, though the ending left me cliffhanged totally!

Some comments though:

1. Whitewashing of original characters. Now this was brought up and debated before in newpaper articles. I agree to a certain extent but cmon, it’s a White production. Do you really expect them to pick up a Chinese kid to take up the role of Avatar? Now why would they do that?

2. How come the Fire Nation are Indians?! What is wrong. And the Chinese are Earth benders! This has got to be one of the weirdest castings I’ve seen.

3. Yada x3

4. I want to be a human bender, so that I can bend humans to my will. Hey, this is a good skill. I can help the elderly get their backbones straightened again. Community service number one.

5. Or bend light. So I can burst light bulbs/lamps with the flick of my fingers. If my neighbour is fighting again, I can short-circuit their whole damn house.

6. Or bend shit. I can help constipated people, or possibly set up a waste recycling company.

7. Damn I want to watch part 2 already! Fuck you Shaymalan, don’t make me wait so long. Next time, just make a 4 hour movie. I’ll gladly pay to watch it.
