[Anime] Avatar: The Last AirBender

Drat, those downloading links are long-since expired.

I've caught episodes of this here and there, and it's a pretty good series. Unfortunately, the beginning and end of season one get rerun a lot, but never the episodes in the middle. Same with season 2.

How ya doing, buddy?

Unfortunately I'm not sure which ones I've already seen between 102-117. It would be nice if you could upload ep. 110: "Jet" though. He played a somewhat large role in season 2, but I never saw where he originated from.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yep, that password works. I was going to ask about that after class today since I ran into that problem last night.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was all set to watch 310/311 tonight, and then the site decided to go down. Had just enough time to torrent them instead though, and man that was cool.

Spoiler:

It'll be interesting to see how the Zuko confrontation goes considering he's already betrayed them once, but I want to see Iroh again the most. Hopefully we'll see what he's up to soon.

Also, I love the Fire Nation so much now that they have all-out airship fleets. <3

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That was a surprisingly satisfying series finale. I was expecting there to be a ton of loose ends afterward with only four episodes to wrap things up, but I think they got to everything of any importance. Besides, even if there had been some shortcomings the battle on the airship fleet would've been more than enough win to make up for them.

The Ember Island Players episode was much better than I expected from what was essentially a clipshow too. Zuko and Sokka's conversation about Jet's death was great.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It wouldn't have made much sense if Katara had used blood bending more than the two times she did. The whole point was it's a terrible art that she didn't want to learn in the first place, hence why her using it without a second thought against the Southern Raiders' leader was significant.

Nick advertised all the multi-part episodes as movies. At least this one was 2 hours long, so it did feel somewhat like a movie.

My only real problem with the finale was how all the secondary characters (Haru, Hokota, etc.) just sort of vanished between Boiling Rock and the epilogue. You'd think they would have tried to meet up again before the comet came.

How ya doing, buddy?

While the casting choices are amusing judging by those pictures, it's hilarious that people are crying racism. The Water and Fire nations were pretty distinct in their races, but Air and Earth could be cast as caucasian just fine. You'd think the casting people would think 2 out of 4 was pretty good. It does kind of defeat the entire purpose of the show since the whole point was that the people were assembled from all over the world, but did anyone actually expect an M. Night Shyamalan movie to be good in the first place?

FELIPE NO

I had no idea who Christopher Lee was until a moment ago, and Count Dooku seems like a pretty random choice. No, I can't picture him being Aang's parental figure, but mostly because I can't stop thinking of him as Count Dooku now. I'm sure he could pull off the role just fine.

It isn't that Air and Earth were white in the show, because they weren't. It couldn't be clearer that their cultures are Buddhist monks and the Chinese respectively, but I'm saying that very few of them aside from the Earth King and other Ba Sing Se dignitaries really looked distinctly asian. For instance, I'm pretty confident that a white guy other than Count Dooku could pull off being the Boulder or any member of Jet's crew.

This was never an asian movie, and so it was a given from the start that at least some of the characters would be cast as whites in order to appeal to the broad audience watching the movie. It's a bit silly that they're all white, especially Zuko, but not totally unexpected either. These people are somehow shocked that Hollywood is doing what it always does: whatever they think will sell more tickets. Changes in race that don't directly screw up storylines (as in Zuko's case) are pretty small considering other changes they'll likely make.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The kid who plays Goku in the Dragon Ball movie never should've gotten another role again after his dismal performance in The Invisible. Hoooly crap was he terrible, though so was the rest of the entire movie, to his credit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

More that The Invisible was bad enough that it should've permanently halted the careers of everyone involved.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Damn those whiteys and their money-making ways!
