Description Noah, what are we going to do with that boy? He needs to SMILE!

I was shocked at how young Nicola looks, but I suppose it makes Kataang more believable. I'm a bit unhappy about how pale Jackson/Nicola are, but, overall, I'm pretty happy about it. Tell me what you think.

Didn't know what to put this under, tell me if it's in the wrong category.

Noah as Aand was a good choice, because if you look at Aan and Noah they resemble each other a-lot, Nicola as Katara was an original choice to be honest she looks more like Fire Nation Arc Katara than Water Tribe Katara, Jackson Rathbone um..........Yeah I suppose why not. But Dev as Zuko........O.O..............-.-.............O.O.........................-.-...........................O.O............WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT, ZUKO LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THAT HE HAD A BALD HEAD WITH A PONY TAIL AT THE BEGINNING, AND HE LOOKS TALLER WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE ZUKO IS 5.1/2 INCHES TALLER THAN AANG, AND HIS SCAR ENVELOPS HIS LEFT EYE STRETCHING TO HIS EAR MAKING HIM SQUINT.

Not being racist or anything but in the series, Zuko is a lot more pale... And you can't see his scar D: I personally think the rest of the cast is quite alright though.

As long as he can pull off the fell of Zuko's character well, I'm not holding any prejudices against Dev for his skin colour.

Also, some artistic liberties could be taken with the scar. It had to be toned down rather a bit to seem more realistic; you just can't get burns like cartoon!Zuko's while still having vision in that eye. Also, it doesn't have to be horrifyingly grotesque to evoke sympathy in the audience. Seeing the scar they put on live action!Zuko still gives the sense that he isn't the ordinary villain, just as the scar on cartoon!Zuko did in S1.

Maybe it's just me(?) but I think Noah has a striking resemblance to Aang. And he looks adorable when he smiles. It's mainly Nicola and Jackson who bother me. Dev Patel who plays Zuko is decent, though it'd be nice if he looked paler somehow. But Nicola and Jackson really need at least a tan! They're just too pale! But I'm still super excited for the movie

ChristinaCrino In reply to hikari7823 [2010-02-18 03:15:19 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you; besides the eye colour, Noah Ringer probably has the most resemblance possible to Aang without having his face drawn on in post production.

I'm confident that Nicola and Jackson will pull off the characters well, and Dev much more so, despite not being carbon copies of the cartoon characters we all know and love appearance-wise.

Yeah, even if the actors don't look like the characters too much, as long as they can act good, it'll be fine.

I'm not sure why everyone needs the characters to LOOK exactly like in the show. As long as they act the same and have the same personalities, they are essentially the same characters (i.e. the same people). Yes, appearance does factor into audience perception, but on that note, wouldn't someone rather see something new than just see the cartoon acted out again in a really rushed 2 hours? People are really closing their minds in a way that I can't understand when it comes to this movie.

On that note Zuko's scar could be a little more prominent, Sokka and Katara could be a little more tan because it is kind of strange to see kids so white in Inuit clothing, but only in a weird cross-culture way.

Snoopy1221 [2009-07-15 21:45:36 +0000 UTC]

I LOL'd when I saw the title, because that's EXACTLY what these pics remind me of.

And, am I the only one who is THRILLED with how young Nicola looks? I mean, she IS fourteen and I expect her to look it. (At least, that's the way I looked when I was fourteen. I didn't start to "fill out" until the middle of tenth grade.) Personally, I never thought she looked that old in the series to begin with, not until Season 3 and by that time Aang was looking older too.

Then again, I'm a Kataanger, so I might be biased in that regard. Either way, yay TLA cast, even if they do looked like their being booked, lol.

I'm quite pleased as well as you that Nicola looks much younger. It makes Kataang much more believable.

I'm pretty sure if Nicola and Jackson just get a bit of a tan, they'll be good to go : D

Personally, I love the character choices for this. In my opinion, they did a pretty good job.
I just hope they don't make Aang too serious. D: I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SMILE YET! I WANNA SEE HIM SMILE! D:

I think that they should stick with the original more, eventhough I adore Jackson they should make the actors more like the original characters. I just look from the original prespective, but I do like it so far !

ChristinaCrino In reply to K-naille [2009-07-15 01:02:56 +0000 UTC]

Also, Nicola is 5'0". Isn't Jackson, like, a foot taller than her? He's 24, right? That's almost a 10 year age difference, while in the show the age difference is a year or two...

I'm not taking a side quite yet, it could turn for the better and pleasantly surprise those of us who are less than supportive of this, or it could turn for the worse. Who knows?

I think you have to go see the film for what it is, and like a new plot, you know. Don't expect it to be as the serie. I just saw the trailer, it looks great and spectacular.
