Omg noo. I still appreciate that you exposed yourself to this....thing! The community as a whole likes to rip on this movie and will deny this movie even exists (understandably). Thank you so much for your reactions though! Time to hate watch this along with you.

Cactus Juice

I couldn't watch either 😅 first time watching this myself, I didn't finish it. I couldn't.

Mike West

I am embarrassed to say I actually saw this in the movie theatre and still regret it to this day I feel your pain cannot wait to see the Netflix series so it can be redeemed lol.

susurrus1

I cannot bring myself to watch the full movie, but I very much look forward to watching your reaction to it later today. Based on the title and thumbnail I think it will justify my decision to avoid this movie like the plague 😂

funnylilgalreacts
>>122566218

I was laughing at the idea of having a full length watch along. Who owns this? Why? 😂😂😂 I blame zero people for hating this movie😂

Marcus Florence

It's awesome to see you cringe just as hard as all of us did throughout the entire movie :D The earth-bending was sooo amazing! like 10 dudes to move a rock that you could pick up and chuck at the enemy faster. There is no movie In Ba Sing Se.

OldGeekScott

I’ll never watch it, but I will rewatch the animated series many times over the rest of my life :)

Anonymous

The real drinking game is to take a shot every time a pronunciation gets corrected.

Anonymous

Yeah - you get your tattoos from mastering airbending. So much wrong with this movie. The actors, the white-washing, the names, the bending, the pacing, all of it. Just awful.

Anonymous

Saw this movie in the theatre when it came out. I think I was 11. I ended up eating som much snacks and drank so much soda that I threw up around 20 minutes into the movie. That’s my memory when I think of this movie, and somehow I think it’s a better memory than many others have.

Walter
>>122565629

I snuck into a theater to see it because I didn't want to pay for it. After 20 minutes, I snuck back out - couldn't take any more. I did watch it later at home and it was just as bad.

Lazzy

I have tried to watch this movie on four different occasions and never made it further than 15 minutes. No joke.

Ron B

Yeahhhh I watched all the full reactions for the show... But I can't subject myself to the full for this again 🫣

Pharal

Normally I watch your reactions to join the journey of joy. This one time it was simply an interesting study in watching a person slowly descending into madness. My specific hardcore beef with this movie is that even though I know logically that a movie director probably would not do this, it SO hard to fathom how this is not made by someone who hated the series and just wanted to take a big dump on it. There is just SO much wrong that one can almost only think it is willful sabotage. That is even just the adaptation stuff... even if you look at the structure of the movie, it is just plain terrible how so much is told through voice-over and text. I mean, who the heck makes a full movie where characters are supposed to be one of the most important components only to make all development of characters and their relationships happen in text? There are errors made in movie production that I would dare to say, even a first year media student would be aware should be avoided.

iMarks

I swear M Night wrote and directed this after they played a long Telephone game describing this show and he was the last man. There is no way he actually watched the show because he would have at least gotten those names right.

Rabbid Dawg
>>122569174

It seems like they just combined the ideas of Roku's dragon and Avatar Roku (during those times Aang looked for his advice) in this movie. Maybe they didn't want to hire another actor to play Roku, maybe using a Dragon Spirit seemed 'cooler'. As an aside, watching Shyamalan's promos for this movie made me sick. He kept talking about how he'd be making changes from the animated series, 'making the movie more authentic to the source material' or something - which, the animated series IS the source material. Idk if he simply didn't watch the show, or worse, felt the show wasn't 'good enough' that he felt he needed to detract so much. It just oozes of pretentiousness and arrogance. I feel many people would've told him 'no' during various points of this production - but that was sadly eliminated since it seems he had the sole responsibility of so much. At least we know who to blame.

Nothing like watching a first-time reactor die inside.

SJ Jobe

I’m sorry you had to endure this. But I’m glad ur about to get into LOK. I think you’ll love the characters

Lazzy
>>122570574

Shyamalan changed all the pronunciations because he insisted that's their native pronunciations. But the only one that's kinda close to that is Iroh, but even there they roll the R too much.

silentinfinity

Friends don't let friends watch this movie

MZ

The only legacy that this (....) has left is Seychelle Gabriel(Yue). She had her redemption in Legend of Korra, which I am super excited for you to watch :)

Jenna

Normally I like watching your full length reactions and syncing up, but in this case I couldn't endure that lol. Condolences for having to sit through the full thing!

A Wild Fern Appears

I don't think I watched any movie after this as a kid LOL, it's definitely funny-bad now but one thing I can't get over is how almost every actor aside from Yue (and maybe Aang/Ong) feels like they're trying way too hard in their performances, like they secretly wanted to be the main character. The script as a whole feels like it was written with the Ember Island Players as the source material lol

Nathanael Fuller (Polygon Wizard)

Despite editing this reaction video, I still have never actually watched this entire movie. Unlike Angela who was somehow able to sit through the entire thing, I got to cut out a ton of it where she wasn't saying anything without needing to actually watch the movie. That said, editing this reaction was totally worth it just so I could add a stupid hacky sack joke on a whim that probably only makes me laugh but it had me giggling for like 30 minutes straight while making it late at night. We all do what we must to survive.

KaijinGarou

Hey I'm here to share the pain and maybe hopefully make it less for you that way 🤣

KaijinGarou

Easy, they didn't ruin Aang or Iroh. Their names are Oong and Eroh so we're fine. They're different people 🤣

aangryturtleduck

The things you do for this channel 😭😆 I appreciate your sacrifice, and your anger. You are now a fully realized Avatar Nerd.

funnylilgalreacts
>>122569174

Those poor actors as well! They had to have watched the original source material as well… Or maybe nobody did and that’s why we got what we got. A failure of epic proportions.

funnylilgalreacts
>>122569610

I wish I had thrown up during this movie. But I had the visceral experience of cringing so hard I wish I could’ve turn myself inside out.

Rufus May

Despite the terrible storytelling, bad dialogue, mispronunciations, and clunky bending, for me the worst thing by far was the lack of joy throughout the movie. The original is so fun and high energy while this tries so hard to be serious and I feel that ruins the whole tone.

Rufus May
>>122577708

And I'll add that while the original does have plenty of heavy moments, those moments gain extra impact by juxtaposing the usual tone. It doesn't work if the whole movie is like that. "Are you the Ahvatar, Ong?" Soaka asked.

KaijinGarou

Bending takes a lifetime in this movie to do anything, indeed. Anyone who walked into this universe as it is in here with a gun would conquer the four nations no problem 🤣

Russell Crockett

The wife and I wanted to just give you a big hug for having to endure this, we feel for you Angela!

KaijinGarou

Angela: "What kinda seals is Zuko gonna find when he comes out of the water? Tiger seals, turtle seals...?" M. Night Shyamalan: "Invisible seals"

Macarthius

They changed the pronunciations to be more "culturally accurate" but they were fine with white-washing the characters. The movie actually has the more correct pronunciations if you go by real-world languages but the issue is this is a fictional universe where the pronunciations have already been established.

Anonymous

I watched the edited version... Because I just couldn't bring myself to watch the whole movie, and honestly I skipped over most of the movie, in the edited version. Mostly I did it to laugh at your pain and I'm sorry for that. But yes you now know how the rest of us felt.

KaijinGarou

The Fire Nation ships are pretty much the only thing most people forgive about this movie. It's really funny that's the only good thing that can be said about a 103 min long movie with a big budget but that's how it is. Not only had they no interest in making justice to the show but they actively went out of their way to ruin it with stuff like changing the names.

Taveren

As much trouble as I'm having actually clicking play on this video (I want to to help the algorithm), the thumbnail and title is pretty much all I need to see to know exactly what your reaction is 😂🤣😂

Victor Vrignaud

To all the people that have seen this movie before "that's rough buddy "

KaijinGarou
>>122578995

Yeah but as you already addressed, what's the point if you're not gonna follow through with the casting. It's like if you ask me how was my day, give me a Dorito and then shoot me in the foot 🤣

Rando

I couldn't bring myself to watch along this time lol. Did Angela mention when/if she is watching Korra?

Fenixnade
>>122574477

you know... thats my new Headcanon. This movie was written, directed, and acted by the Ember Island Players

Fenixnade
>>122575154

this editing was amazing. I want a supercut of Angela correcting all the name pronunciations rapid fire style.

Mark K Ehlert

I was thrown for a loop when I received the notification for this reaction. Angela mentioned in passing that she might skip it in her reaction to the Netflix show, but I guess it was already in the can (pun intended given the quality of the film). And I didn't miss the sarcastic quotes around MOVIE in the thumbnail!

Emilie Mish

Take psychic damage every time they pronounce something wrong lol

Anonymous

I rewatched this movie with your reaction the day after I went drinking with friends, so I have a mild hangover. I am not sure if that made the experience of rewatching this movie better or worse, but at least I knew judging by your reactions and faces that I was not alone in the trauma.

Fenixnade

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Lw-h06Ob80s I think Thomas Sanders sums it up well. Seriously though, you were very brave to watch this one. But now you know, There is no movie in Ba Sing Se

Mark K Ehlert
>>122584013

Looks like she's already begun watching it. She mentions the first episode in a response a few posts above.

Ronald Foster

I love that they didn't say anyone's name right. Because the character in this movie were clearly not the actual Aang, Sokka or Iroh. Whoever this Ong guy is might be the Ivatar but he was no Avatar. Seriously though I get ol boy M Knight chose to phone this one in but damn is watching 1 episode really that hard? The first episode of the show pretty much shows you the core of how each character acts throughout the whole show. If you watched that you would at least know to make Aang happy and fun. Hell Shyamalan said he made it for his kids because they watched the show, he could have at least asked them what the damn names of the characters are.

funnylilgalreacts
>>122578995

Yeah, I feel like if there’s established characters that are loved dearly you just keep pronouncing their name the way they’ve always been pronounced. A masterpiece doesn’t need correction.

funnylilgalreacts
>>122579990

Nathanael originally had Appa’s face and me flinching…. I think both would’ve gotten the point across lol

Jack Mingle

The best Avatar movie... I'm kidding of course, but I do always get a kick out of seeing a bunch of earthbenders doing a dance to move a small boulder, meanwhile in the lore Kyoshi moves an entire fucking island solo.

funnylilgalreacts
>>122588985

Oh my God. You mean to tell me that his kids loved the show and he made this piece of garbage? Do they even talk to their father anymore?

Vid Ryan
>>122571352

I've been looking forward to this ever since A:TLA ended. I have some issues with LOK, but they are overshadowed by being able to step back into the world that I love so dearly. I can't wait to experience it again vicariously through your reactions.

Alvin Everett

Now you have to watch the creator’s of Avatar (Bryan Konietzko & Michael DiMartino) response to the terrble movie, The Legend of Korra

ParsivalXP

She really asked if we've ever seen appas face in the show😂 bro ofcourse we have

ParsivalXP

He was talking to rokus dragon in the beginning.... somehow

C. J. Ramirez

I’m sorry you had to go thru that 😭😭

Anonymous

This feels like as good a time as any to remind folks that early screenings of the movie had Zhao killing the water spirit fish by punching it to death. Also, when I saw that this reaction was up, I instinctively said out loud "Oh no, Angela, I'm so sorry"

funnylilgalreacts
>>122595908

You mean to tell me they went through screenings and they still released this movie in this condition??? For the love of God

Ray (Fanporium)

As a consolation for going through this, follow @michaelamostly (Toph) on Instagram and you'll get a video of her and Iroh's second voice cosplaying their characters and dancing at a recent con. It may be the shot of Avatar joy you need to recover properly.

Andy

This was hilarious. Thanks for doing it. I didn't watch much of Korra but will watch along with you. I've had people tell me it's good.

susurrus1

Ooooh boy, I just finished watching the reaction video and I feel I need to mark myself safe from watching this movie. I'm going to forever pretend this is a movie about the unrelated story of someone called Ovatar Ong who seeks to master all forms of a martial art that involves a lot of wasteful gesticulating that makes you vulnerable to attacks because reasons. Thank you for suffering through the full-length version of this so we don't have to.

Lindsay Mathieson

Thank you, for taking one for the team! Maybe rewatch the Netflix ATLA teaser to clear the pain. Or bleach applied directly to the brain, I could go either way.

Lindsay Mathieson

I guess the reason you don't remember any of the characters from the movie in relation to the series is because they bear no resemblance to them - a travesty basically. I'm not a fan of slagging adaptions because they differ from the original, I love the Wheel of Time books *and* the series, the Expanse is an example of a damn near perfect adaption and Lord of the Rings too. But this movie is what gave adaptions a bad name.

Jonah Bertorelli

Thank goodness you didn't take a shot everytime something pissed you off, we don't need you dying of alcohol poisoning lol

Jonah Bertorelli

So here's a couple things. The pronunciation is correct in "Oong" that's how you would pronounce Aang in Asia. However the original cartoon was pronounced AA-ng. Therefore M. Night really messed up the possibility for correct pronunciation in the future becasue they will only associate the correct pronunciation with this horrible movie. That probably goes for a few of the "mispronounced" names in this movie. I bet they are all actually accurate to the region but will never be able to be appreciated properly by western people because we only have the two references. the show and this movie. Also in this M. Night also went with the idea that fire benders couldn't bend fire without fire to start with. While if he hadn't ruined the movie I think that would be a VERY cool part to add. Making it so firebenders must carry around some sort of fire like katara does her water. and pull from sources of fire. and that people like uncle Iroh would be able to summon fire from nothing after being taught from the sun warrior masters. Although that would probably ruin the ability to bend lightning. But since he flopped the movie, the concept will only be hated by fans unless somehow done ABSOLUTELY PERFECT if they were to change something big like that again. it will be met with heavy skepticism lol

Jonah Bertorelli
>>122603166

Also he just didn't even explain or add anything cool about the fire bending. just changed it, and then had someone freak out about Iroh "he's firebending from nothing?!" completely unexplained. it's so weird. so many odd choices in this film.

Mathies

remember when the earthbender prison that prevented everyone from bending was just... surrounded by earth? and yet all they could do was toss one pebble with 12 men

Mathies

I was dying at you keeping consistent with the name correcting lmao. For some reason in this movie they decided to make it some sort of big revelation at the end that its possible for firebenders to make their own from their fingertips, as Iroh did, rather than using existing fire. I keep asking myself if they needed such sources how are they even winning the war at all? seems very easily combatible.

Frederik Jensen

I'll take the challenge and say something positive. I love the soundtrack. Flow Like Water is amazing. I watched this in theaters and for large portions of the movie my eyes were closed and I just focused on the music. Not that positive looking at it now. What a terrible garbage movie.

Anonymous

Angela cross the ocean and start going where the fun is, watch animes and tv shows and movies from Korea, I myself like Avatar but it's so average compared to what they're doing in anime today.

Max Wiidanen

It’s like they didn’t actually have permission to use the story so they changed the names slightly😂

KaijinGarou

Hey I strongly recommend reacting to Ryan George's pitch meeting of this movie. It's hilarious and you will feel identified with many of the things he points out. It serves as a coping mechanism for the survivors of this movie. It sure helped me. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgtnGN3Rz04&pp=ygUnYXZhdGFyIHRoZSBsYXN0IGFpcmJlbmRlciBwaXRjaCBtZWV0aW5n

Nathanael Fuller (Polygon Wizard)

It amuses me that the number of comments on this reaction is breaking into triple digit territory. 😂

KaijinGarou
>>122644039

Yeah 🤣. I'm still down for that reaction though even if it's not the first one xD

KaijinGarou
>>122603166

He did say in an interview that he thought firebending was too strong compared to the other elements so he nerfed it. And it's like of course it's too strong you idiot that's the point, that's why they were winning the freaking war against three other nations all by their own, because they could make fire out of nothing both in combat and to work metal for weapons and tools. It's like the guy didn't even watch the show, even if he said he was a fan.

Zachery Love

I think the only thing redeemable about this is the OST. The movie doesn't deserve that epic strings/French horn moment during the "climax".

Cyan

Yess yesss suffer with us! 🤣

Kevin Bartelen
>>122603166

As far as the name pronunciations go, technically yes he pronounced them based on the regions of the world the names came from. That being said, he's not adapting real life, he's adapting a fictional show so Shyamalan is still wrong here regardless of his reasons. As for his excuse that fire bending is too OP... come the fuck on. Air, water, and earth are fucking EVERYWHERE. What do you mean fire out of thin air is OP?

Jonah Bertorelli
>>122603166

Going to reply to both of your comments with one reply. But I agree that fire is OP because of it's nature, not because they can bend it from nowhere but just because of it's destructive and almost alive characteristics, it grows, it devours, it is inherently dangerous without the bender, add bad intention and it's very OP. Plus I like the Idea of firebenders carrying around lit lanterns in tiny grenade shaped mechanisms on their belt to always have fire to pull from. makes a cool aspect of their technological lead on everyone else. (again if done correctly). That said all I was getting at with the pronunciation was that nobody will be able to adapt an "avatar" based media with correct pronunciation in the future because he ruined his adaptation and used "different" (whether correct or not) pronunciation. haha that's all. I agree that he didn't do it correctly. hell he changed the pronunciation and then cast almost all white people. lol

Anonymous

Now imagine growing up watching the show week to week for YEARS and you are sooooo hyped for this and then…. 🤢🤮🫨

Kevin Bartelen

You considered taking a shot every time it pissed you off...? That's a dangerous game you're playing.

Lesedi Dlamini

"I'm allergic to this movie" LMAO 🤣🤣

Andrea D.

Oh honey, why did you do this to youself? Well, at least we know that Netflix can't make it THIS bad. Right? (I honestly have hope after One Piece.)

Ronald Foster
>>122588985

Lmao it would be fair if they wanted to be emancipated minors after seeing it. But yeah according to an interview he made it because his daughter wanted to be Katara for Halloween or something like that and really liked the show.

Michele Jean

Uh, so my positive comment about the movie is... it found a great voice for another part of the Avatar universe. (The ice princess is the voice of vital character in The Legend of Korra.)

Yeah best bet for a drinking game to this movie is everything that pissed you off the first time. Not everytime lol
