Added DiffLines:

* RaceLift: One of the Critic's InUniverse gripes about the film is the ethnic miscasting of several characters, most prominently Katara and Sokka, who looks definitely Caucasian (despite the Water Tribe's established Inuit inspiration, which is actually played straighter by the extras), and the Fire Nation seemingly becoming Indians (in the originals, they're more imperial Chinese/Japanese). The Critic lampshades that he doesn't want to make an unintentional racist comment, considering the film was made by [[Creator/MNightShyamalan an Indian-American]], but the miscasting is still cause for concern.

* StillbornFranchise: InUniverse, the Critic already considers all prospects for a film sequel ([[SequelHooked foreshadowed]] by Azula's cameo at the very end) practically dead.

--> Does that require a Blowdry or a Blowjob? Are haircuts known as circumcisions? I said 'Public Hair' not 'Pubic Hair'! Does this make Queen Amidala's hair look less vaginal or more vaginal? When you said your hair is a dick to comb, I didn't know you meant a DICK to comb. Does the rug match the prick shaped drapes? You might be the only female I can get away with calling dick head. So, when you say you're washing your hair tonight, does that technically count as masturbating? This is great, I can technically reach first AND second base both at the same time. You're making the Coneheads look modest. Is that a cock on your block or are you just happy to see me? Now I know why they call you 'Hard Head'. '''What does she use for a headband, a censor bar?''' Was your hooker name 'Tip of the Iceberg'? Well, two heads are better than one. Seeing how you're royalty, do they crown you with a cock ring? I'm gonna guess and say night caps and condoms are pretty much the same for you. Pardon me your highness, but your hair looks like a giant penis.

As Doug had noted before Rob got in, his constantly getting the names wrong *was* racist.
