Hahaha, oh god. All the main characters in the Avatar movie are going to be played by white people. Because there just aren't enough roles available already for young attractive caucasians.
Well done, Hollywood, well done. The internet will run on this wank for at least a year.

Well, I guess I didn't have high expectations once they said Shyamalan was directing it anyways...
ReplyDeleteMakes me glad I didn't get into Avitar acctually, I mean hollywood is already raping Dragon Ball up the ass, why should I expect anything less of them for anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part is, I think these guys acctually think they're doing a good job. I mean looking at the LotR fandom and the WADS of cash those guys made, and the general satisfaction from the Harry Potter fandom over the movies to the X-men and Iornman hollywood has to realize somewhere that if they do a movie JUST RIGHT they'll be raking in the dough for years to come.
But if they make a shitty movie, they'll be lucky if they can make any profit because it's a shitty movie and even fan loyalty can't save that.
It just boggles the mind sometimes.
Well, the decisions aren't 100% final. It's just Shyamalan's prospective cast. There's still time to complain at them in hopes they change it! http://aang-aint-white.livejournal.com/
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, shit's ridic.
I know (of) the kid playing Aang (Noah Ringer). He looks just like him (EXACTLY like him) and practices at my old Taekwondo school. I didn't think there were still thirteen-year-old boys willing to shave their heads, but apparently that's his regular hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteHe's pale but I don't think he's more than half-Caucasian. He looks like a little monk. XD
As pissed as we all are about the rape of one of the best animated series to come along in years, I have to cut Shyamallama a little slack. After all, he's not really the head honcho in casting (if he were, Shyamalan himself would be playing Kung Fu Action Jesus).
ReplyDeleteI... I really WANT to believe that they picked Whitey Whiteson and Jasper of the Possibly Constipated Scowl because they were the best actors... but this smacks of blatant racism and trying to pander to a predominantly white audience. Because white people can't sympathize with people of a different race, you see.
