No, NOT funny. Not funny until the movie has been released and everybody realize how fucking TERRIBLE that boy is for that role. (Not that any of the OTHER cast members will be good.)
I saw the final ten episodes over my last break (never saw any other episodes) and it was really absorbing and diverse and like, good. It's really disheartening to see them just... Whitewash the whole main cast like that.
And the defense has mostly been "Well that's just the main characters, all the side characters will prolly be multicultural" but you know. The main ones still won't be. And last I checked, the main characters were main because they mattered the most. If Foamy Av Fanboy and the Cabbage Dude are played by Filipinos or something it still means diddly.

Plus, Jesse McCartney? Really?
Ugh what a depressing announcement all around.

Yes, a very depressing announcement. (I really wish that they'd put up a picture of the kid who's going to play Aang, ugh.)
