why are you white? omg karen you can't ask people why they're white! sugarcages April 22 2009, 23:13:23 UTC
I'm just disappointed they chose all these white people when avatar is derived from asian mythology la la la. But that's just me being whiny. I hope they do justice to it.

i always thought of the Water Tribe as the Inuit people, although they have blue eyes instead of brown.

the Fire Nation will be played by Indian actors, so at least they're Asian (even if i thought the Fire Nation were more Japanese, and it was the Air Nomads who were Indian)

that's how i felt when they released the cast photos for Watchmen, but then the movie wowed me. i'm hoping that the Last Airbender will do the same.

good point. it got me kinda all "buh" when they got big fish guy for manhattan, but it turned out to be pretty good. but then look at what happened to dragonball when they casted white people :p but you're right, i should at least hope for the best.

at least they got dev patel. and dev patel can do no wrong. not with those dreamy eyes.

If Aang and the gang are not from this planet, then they are aliens. I suppose white people have as much right as Asian/Asiatic people to play aliens. Hahahahaha!

well, it was a choice between casting for the skin tone and casting for the eye color. i'm guessing that eye color is harder to find so they'll just give all the actors an all-over tan hahahahh
