History WMG / TheLastAirbender

* This Troper declares this to be canon now. XD

* Similar to St. Elsewhere, This whole movie was imagined by an autistic kid, who watched and enjoyed the original cartoon. With some toys he tries reenact the whole show in his head as best he could. This is why the characters are so unemotional. You know if M Night could actually end the film series that would be the twist ending.
** As someone with Apsergers, I kindly give you the middle finger and tell you to go die in a hole.
*** I do too. I do not mean a regular high-functioning Asperger person, but someone very low on spectrum.
** Ignoring the blatant rudeness here, it would be a cool twist if the movie's ended with cartoon Aang waking up from a nightmare.

That's why the acting is so dead; they literally couldn't show any expression to keep from having their faces stolen.

Shammylammy actually created the movie as a [[XanatosGambit plan]] to bring a [[AvatarTheLegendOfKorra new series]] to television. The producers [[UnwittingPawn unwittingly]] played along with this by giving him as much freedom as he possibly can. When the movie flopped with critics and fans alike, it motivated Bryan and Mike to develop a new series, and thus pleasing the fanbase, [[BrokenBase most of them still sour about the movie.]]

* Granted, lava is arguably more earth than it is fire, but then again, where there is lava, there is certainly lava, and it's plausible to believe that the Firebenders are more powerful than the Earthbenders, so their control over the substance would be more powerful as well.

It would help cut out a lot of what he would need to do to adapt book 3 into a movie by not having to show Zuko going back to the Fire Nation and could jump into Aang's firebending training right away.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Avatars are not allowed to have a family, but Ruko broke the rules.]]
With disastrous results, as his desire to settle down with a family prevented him from taking the necessary steps to preserve peace, which would have required a much greater time commitment.

* That would actually be really interesting, I think. A bit dark, too.

[[spoiler:Keeping in the plot point that Zuko and Azula were descended from Avatar Roku, but it will have been ''an affair''.]]

During the scene when the boy and Zuko are relaying the story of the Fire Nation prince, Zuko mentions that he was trying to defend his friends from being sacrificed in a battle. What better bait than a pair of children of influential Fire Nation aristocrats?

A cartoon and a film with "Avatar" in/as the title became instant sensations. ''The Last Airbender'' failed because they dropped the magic word from the title.

The fact that The Last Airbender was based on The Ember Island Players could be true. But there has been an adaption of the Avatar cartoon which is the movie Avatar. Yes, the Avatar movie has very little or basically nothing to do with the Avatar cartoon but so what? James Cameron wanted to go with his own twist on things and it is better to do his own thing with the franchise then try to make a three season cartoon series into three movies.

After the series, he suffered being abused by his wife Katara, who had been taking out her anger on Aang. She messed with him by distorting many memories of his and said others never happened, mocked him by calling him "Ohng", talked to him constantly about what a whiner he was, etcetera etcetera. He died after a complete emotional breakdown, and this movie is what he remembered in his last breaths.

* Does this mean that Aang and Katara wouldn't become the official pairing? Oh, well... Good news for zutarians.

** They were improvised for that particular performance by the real Sokka, and not a regular feature of the Players' performance. Besides disagreeing slightly on who looked like who, I like the sound of this.

* But why wasn't Soh-ka making corny jokes?

It was based on only one episode: The Ember Island Players. Think about it. Most people agree that it was SoBadItsHorrible, as the real characters did for the play, the movie!characters don't look anything like the cartoon!characters, and the movie changed around a lot of the facts of the series to serve its own purpose. Everyone who worked on this movie simply based it off of the Ember Island production, with some changes to the parts that were blatantly meant as meta-comedy. It's certainly a nicer (or, at least, less mean) explanation than simply, "These people are idiots."
