That's far from seeing characters get "raped" dude.

Check this out and maybe you'll see why: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118012147.html?categoryid=3834&cs=1&query=Noah+Ringer

Besides, McCartney was dropped. He's a dead issue.

In fact, Dev patel, the dude from Slumdog Millionaire is playing Zuko.
you're really into this double posting...

Yes, they made all the villains brown people. So now it's a bunch of white saviors fighting the evil and genocidal brown fire nation and the only good brown characters turn good due to the white saviors showing them the light and the Asians (and Inuits and black people) are simply window dressing.

Huge improvement my ass. -,-;

Never mind that here is something you may have not heard: Did you know that the auditions were rigged? They already had the main actors they wanted under contract by the time they began the casting call. Did you also know that the kid had to be put through acting lessons because he has never acted in his life and that compared to the other cast he was inferior?

Did you also know that the majority of the martial arts you see (including everything you see in the teaser trailers) is actually being done by his Stunt Double who is a woman and Asian. AND that they are going to face replace her with Noah's face with CGI in the final product?

So he barely gets to do martial arts, is a bad at acting and according to early test screenings he was one of the worst actors next to Peltz and Rathbone.

So as you can see, they chose the "best actors" for the film. Once again, my ass!

That'd be your opinion, and most of it is from people with a precoceived notion of the films quality in the first place.

I'm reserving my judgement until it comes out.

And i truly pity that you can't see past skin color like most normal folks.

You really do think the majority of America do not see past skin color? Have you been around this country? Stop acting like racism is dead, it's not!

Also, that's not my opinion and stop twisting thing around. The people who had saw this film were not in league with us or had no idea that there was even a film coming out until they saw it, saw it was crap and then posted the reviews online at normal movie review sites.

What drives me crazy about this issue is that all the points you are bringing up about opinions and movie reviews are the SAME EXACT STATEMENTS PRO-DBE PEOPLE WERE SAYING TO THE DBE PROTEST!

Hypocracy much?

If your so fucking in to this, present some sources kind sir!
Also, in regards to your perceived notion of the race issues, one more step out of line in that direction and I ban your behind! I do not take kindly to people accusing others of racism without reason. - There weren't any accusations.

No, because see, if you weren't just self righteous person, you'd be able to see that the changes made to this movie are so far MINIMAL!
All those changes you claim...PRESENT THEM!! LINKS TO RELIABLE SOURCES AND NOT TWO BIT SITES LIKE LIVEANIME!
So until then, stop spreading disinformation, you respectable member of this forum!

more flaming

Sorry for double post

This video is basically what the average guy that walks into that "war" would think. DBE protest bashing the shit out of Stormsink
Going further into that, you'll see that:
1. Not once did they start shit, always a response (at least as far as I know, may be wrong)
2. JINX said MANY MANY times and highlighted that he NEVER once called out Stormsink's statues as DB fan
3. Stormsink, was kinda of a dick, but then again, so was everyone on our side on this matter

Point is, the entire thing with Stormsink was stupidity, and one many of the videos, I state that JINX was acting like a douche for using the protest for his personal war with stormsink. Just plain stupid
Then again, there's that video that Stormsink made about getting depressed or some shit and quitting youtube. That was the definition of pity videos


And, finally, I have calmed down now (thanks to Justin's awesome fanfic), so I'll say this:

Both of you, Krillinfan AND Sidepocket, and me also with the previous post...we are derailing this thread into hate and slander and a basic "ME VS YOU MY OPINIONS > YOUR OPINIONS" thread, which is isn't.
I was at fault here, but I will not delete my comment, because that would just being scared of taking the consequences of what I wrote when letting my anger take the better of me.

FINAL POINT

Keep on topic, which is not the Racebending protest thing, but the AVATAR LAM!!
Second, enough with the hate
Third. I still want those sources because I am generally interested in if their true

I have to confess, that I am not an A:TLA (to not confuse it with James Cameron's Avatar) fan; so sadly I don't have the passion you guys have for the series. But of course recognize that I don't like the way Aang's movie is going.

I am of those that in DB and Avatar, being planets different to ours, there is some racial "ambuguity" and they don't see it as in the real world.

However, the SNK universe is more similar to our reality; and yet there is almost no rage that Kyo and Mai aren't being portrayed by actual japanese actors.

Ok, so I edited some of the posts in this topic.
Try to stay on topic from now on. And for the love of god, keep the discussion on a appropriate level for the people of your age, out of respect for this forum and yourself.
