Fuck you M. Night Shamwow, the Last Airbender totally sucked!

Nikose, dude, your motto is "Keep trollin', trollin', trollin.'" I'm not sure if anyone called you "brain damaged," but I don't believe that the issue was pursued.

In any case, I've seen your rationale &, quite frankly, it doesn't clear anything up. I've yet to see a decent performance out of these actors in any of the clips. They don't sound like they're actually talking & the scene with the master from the North Pole is the most BORING display of technique that I've ever seen. Honestly, I'd rather see a dozen training episodes from Naruto back-to-back. I'm really hoping that wasn't indicative of the movie's fight scenes.

And the special effects seem a bit below average, as well.

But we do agree on one thing: Kevin Smith is awesome.

Wait a minute...trying to go Darker & Edgier pissed everyone off the first time & Shamallama wants to go FURTHER down that particular rabbit hole? Seriously?

Unrelenting darkness is what made the series good and popular.

Yep. Obviously.

Kevin Smith is awesome.

Well, Kevin Smith made money off of his inability to write a script for Superman, so I guess I have to begrudgingly accept that there's some skill there.

I will say that some of Avatar's plotlines* could do with a bit of darkness, but that doesn't translate to "rip out all of the humor & make the movie have a constant atmosphere of dinginess."

*=Jet, for instance.

Shyamalan Agrees

As a general rule, I dislike bad movies quite a bit. I didn't think this movie was bad, nor did anyone else I saw it with.

Now, Dragonball Evolution was bad. Very bad. I loved it, though, because it was so damn entertaining in how terribly bad it was. Not the case with this movie.

But there is a Warbot in Accounting.

The key word was "unrelenting."

There's actually quite a bit of darkness in Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it's always competing with its cheerfulness and humour.

I've just started to assume that every other person on NPF has a single, unchangeable line for standards regarding particular forms of media consumption. I used to assume that people were capable of appreciating a wide range and variety of different experiences, and that "taste" was a rather silly term since anyone would be capable of enjoying the lowest humor and the highest humor as it fit them.

Yes, I am agreeing with you. I am also, however, noting that some of the show could have used a bit more of it. Maybe. It's a tough call. The balance was pretty good.
