Wow, I can’t believe that he is receiving death threats. That is just disconsolate, and absolutely terrible. We should be grateful that someone has stepped up and attempted to make a movie based on ATLA, not outraged.

Everyone in life makes mistakes. Thomas Edison made thousands before being successful.
So M. Night Shyamalan made one, big deal…

@awesomebender Yeah, it’s due to the fact that there’s a time limit to western movies due to health and safety issues, so the directors always have to cram a lot into a movie, when based on either a book (comic) or a cartoon, etc.

I think one of the main exceptions to this, was The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson. Now that guy is absolutely awesome and produced three stunning movies that were, may I say, a lot better than the book. Yes, he also made some changes, but he made the right ones and the movie(s) became one of the best ever made, with huge box office (amassing nearly 3 billion), and over 15 awards with many more nominations.

Hmm… anyone thinking what I’m thinking?

truth is, M. Night Shyamalan is a great director! he directed excellent movies like the village and devil. if some fans are not satisfied with his version of the last airbender, they need to deal with it! almost everything in the world is subjective, so some people like it and some not. can’t believe that there are still childish people in 2012

I for the life of me can’t think, or even register why after all these years – now over 2 years ago… why ATLA fans are still fixated on negative bashing the movie…

even at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 there still were ATLA/KORRA fans that just held such a negative view on the movie…

While waiting in the line for the official Korra signing at the disorganized Nickelodeon stand late Friday afternoon and having been awake for over 34 hours by this stage having been awake since 5am Thursday and waiting in the Ballroom 20 line since 9pm Thursday night… and having had to fight off eager Firefly fans that kept asking for our seats, and then rushing down and discovering Nick had changed the signing rules and had already given away all the signing tickets (though after some discussion of how we’ve been in line since 9pm the night before and checked in daily concerning the signing rules, and that we’d come from NZ and Aussie, and that we had supported financially by purchasing merchandise, etc…. the awesome booth boss decided to let me & 2 others with me get the final tickets) anyway… after being pulled out of the line due to it being 6 people deep wide/ when it was only suppose to be 1 person deep wide by the fire marshalls regularly, we finally got to be in the official line… when we passed the awesome booth boss again a fan behind me began banging on negatively about the film…. I grew extremely tired of her spouting and finally said… “wow… it was over 2 years ago when that movie came out, aren’t folk ready to just let it go already?”… “excuse me?” she said, “how can you be a fan and support such a horrible film that isn’t liked by the fans?” she replied…. I asked… “have you actually seen the film?” her reply, “NO! It’s a load of rubbish and racist and doesn’t even follow the story”… my reply…. “Well ain’t you being just as racist by demanding folk agree with your negative views when you haven’t even seen it your self?”… “How dare you call me Racist!” she screamed back at me… “I’m not racist!”…. “yeah, you are, your being racist telling folk not to like or even watch the film…. just let it go….” “No I am not!” she said back… I replied, “oh forgive me, I’ve been awake for 34 hours and am extremely tired of hearing your negative bs about something you haven’t even seen, just heard and followed what everyone else who is negative towards it is saying… perhaps you don’t see it as racist however, demanding folk hate a movie that you haven’t even gone to see, is discrimination and if I remember rightly that’s what racists do…. but what do I know, my brain is so fried from being awake and just doesn’t want to hear your negative sprouting anymore… sorry >__< , but saw it on a video post of it, just today… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbNIXOFQeRE&feature=relmfu – 1:50 – the first question of the fan panel… REALLY… WOW…. LET IT GO PEOPLE!!!! seriously it's actually obsession beyond if you ask me… so the movie didn't fix your needs, so what move on!!!!

I love the movie for what it's worth, I didn't love it to start off with, in fact I hated it because of what I had read from all the other fan panels, I fell into the negative camp and wanted it boycotted and cancelled. I voiced my negative views like the others… however, after watching ATLA finale for about the thousandth time and then going online and reading another fansite that was spouting the negative stuff of the movie… I had a realization…. It dawned on me that perhaps I was seeing this all wrong… that maybe instead of judging something on what others said, that maybe I should just go and see the movie and then make my own mind up… To actually practice compassion, go with an open mind, an open heart and just appreciate what is being offered. It was really hard not to go with all the predetermined judgements that I had picked up from all the negativity I had been reading months before the actual viewing of the movie. And even harder, due to the fact our NZ release date had been set back and so the negative reviews were every where…. however….the more I watched the movie, (just like ATLA/TLOK ) the more I saw of the rich detail and possible stories that were within the movie… I also got to really appreciate all that it takes to make a movie and that the folk that worked on it in all it's processes put their heart and souls in it…. it made me feel that to not appreciate what they tried to do was really mean indeed and one of the things I want to do in this life time, is to have less mean-ness and be more appreciating …. Always easier to find the negative rather than look at all the positives that it can offer…

Death threats. Death threats? DEATH THREATS?!? SERIOUSLY?!? Even if people think the movie was bad, isn’t that a few steps too far? I never saw the movie and to be honest, I probably never will. Not because I have a predetermined negative view of it or anything, it’s because the opportunity will probably never present itself.

Even if I went and saw the movie and hated it, I still gotta feel sorry for the guy. He goes and tries his best to represent ATLA and puts all of this effort into it, only to receive death threats in the end of it all. I wouldn’t even know what to do if I was in his situation. The people just need to get over it.

I really didn’t like the movie and it adapation of the movie. I thought the actors were great and the script was horrible. I just hope he doesn’t another movie. And i really doubt that a second one is going to be make anyway. Peace mns, just don’t make another avatar movie.

This is the best thing I’ve ever read.

Kudos to you Donna, you’re truly an amazing person.
