I haven't had much net access in the last 2 weeks. So I heard about Shyamalan's live-action Avatar: the Last Airbender movie cast that was announced this week from my brother.
Cellphone Conversation:
Bro: So, Jasper is Sokka.
Me: Eh what?
He then informed me that the entire main cast of Avatar is white kids, and I got upset. Raged for 15 minutes. I'm still incredibly irritated.
ARG!!! REALLY!!!!! They should be ASIAN!!!!! GAHH!
At LEAST, at least, Zuko (and his entire completely awesome family, including Uncle and Azula) should be Asian.
I would love, also, for Katara and Sokka to be Inuit, or American Indian, or South American or Pacific Islander, or Indian or SOMETHING.
And an adorable Asian kid with excellent martial arts would be wonderful for Aang.
Or Zuko could be Filipino! (In support of my crush on Dante Basco. Love him.)
I was really, actually, looking forward to Shyamalan's casting, and seeing really awesome unknown actors of different races as the kids in these movies. I was going to enjoy it SO MUCH!! You've taken the joy and interesting-ness out of it, Paramount. I am sad.
As for the kids themselves: the girl playing Katara looks lovely, I'm glad the kid doing Aang at least does martial arts, but a blond Zac Efron-looking songster as Zuko?? Can he do rage and a shaved head????
And Jackson Rathbone as Sokka...can he do goofy slapstick? Physical humor and lame puns? In all the interviews I've seen with him, he comes off as Mr. Cool, with a wry sense of humor. Not goofy.
Being in two cult/obsessed-fan movie franchises is a really good move for his career, though. Props. If he does a good job. If the comic relief falls flat, however, we are going to be extremely upset.
The water tribe had BETTER have dark makeup. At LEAST!!!
RARG!!
