Everyone talking about Dante Basco but im more sad that Jack DeSena isnt returning as Sokka. His delivery and voice made not only that character but a lot of the comic relief in the show
I feel like sokka, katara and zuko don’t need replacements bc their voices can just be a little deeper to emulate their adult voices. They were also all played by adults. Only really Toph and Twinkle Toes sounded like actual children.
It’s because he’s white. Crazy thing to say, but it’s confirmed that they wanted to only cast people of the same ethnicities as the characters. I’d be open, but it’s unfair to only let Dante Basco back. Either re-cast everyone in the old cast who wants to, or no one. And it’s weird, because Dante Bosco is American. So they don’t really care about ethnicity, just someone ‘looking’ the part…when we won’t even see them.
My biggest fear with this movie is if they nerf the main cast. All of them are extremely talented in their respective field. I don't think i need to write a list of what all of them learnt to do. If you know you know. The gang accomplished very impressive feats when they were literal children. We have yet to see them in their prime, which would be when this movie takes place since all of them are in their mid twenties. They've had 10+ years (since the show) to further hone and perfect their skills up until this point. The line in the description ".. the likes of which they've never seen." makes me worried. Are they going to nerf what are essentially prodigies to make this villain seem more powerful?
Maybe they'll just say that they were already close to their full potential and just improved a little bit, which isn't really a problem, only the creators know what each character's potential is. 😅
@@fernandoqq Yeah that might be true but if you take into account that, once again, they were children. If you look at how much a human develops from around age 10 to mid twenties, that is ALOT. Your brain doesn't stop developing until you're 25. We grow, become stronger and more intelligent. It is only natural to assume that the cast's capabilities develops along themselves because they are like us, human beings. If Michael and Bryan come out and say that "oh they were already close to their full potential" isn't that a bit bullshit? Sure they are the literal creators of the show and they decide the rules but that just seems cheap and a bit ignorant to basic human capabilities.
@@foob2066 Physically? I'm sure they will improve on that, but bending is something fictitious that we don't completely know how it works. At least I don't see the problem with them being close to their maximum potential in the last comic they have appeared, bending doesn't have to improve with age to the same extent as the rest of the physical attributes. I don't think it's cheap, it's just the liberties you can give yourself when deciding how powerful you want your characters to be with a fictional system, if you had established that bending improves with age just like strength does, maybe if I would see it that way. Obviously bending has growth, but said growth is linked to other factors such as mentality, training, not age, yes, the older you are, the more difficult it is to fight, as happens to Toph or there are also exceptions like Bumi or Pakku. , but there is no indication that her bending has improved greatly since her youth, using numbers, I don't think Toph went from a 10 (Imbalance) to a 50 (Yakone's trial), maybe she went from a 10 to a 13 or 15 , which seems a little more reasonable than the characters being enormously better and the default villain being enormously powerful just because they have to present a challenge. If they keep them at a level not so far from their last appearance, they don't need someone super powerful to deal with them, as was the case with Yaling vs Toph.
Yep.They should all be the strongest benders of their elements. Even COMIC Gaang is clearly stronger than Book 3 Gaang and thats only a few years after Book 3. Zuko should have surpassed Ozai&Iroh Aang should have surpassed Roku Toph should have surpassed Bumi by a LOT Katara should undoubtedly be number one waterbender(Korra says it herself decades later)

I think the Lost Realm might be a place beyond the spirit world, a hidden realm full of secrets. Maybe it's where the being who created the Avatar universe lives. Imagine, there could be spirits in this realm who represent the fundamental forces of the Avatar world, like the balance between creation and destruction that Raava and Vaatu embody. It could be a place where the Avatar faces powerful spirits or discovers new abilities that are connected to the very core of the Avatar universe.
the voices wont be the same? that is sad af Also I really really hope they will keep it in the "chinese mythology" style like before and not like the americanized setting from Korra
They never were the same, they were changed in the Korra flashback. Also not necessarily,the movie takes place between the two eras and should reflect a bit both. This movie takes place only 8 years before Aang and Zuko canonically established Republic City(there is artwork on that),so it should show some transition
I actually liked Korra (not the flashbacks of season 2 I just pretend that rava nonsense didn’t happen) but I completely agree with your concern, the actual voice actors can literally play older versions of themselves…given that you know they’re older themselves. If they want to do an all Asian cast great, literally choose any avatar other than aang and korra; that’s the fun thing about avatar you have literally infinite stories and characters to use! Do they not know about this
Korra was not an Americanised setting. It was still heavily eastern. The only place that looks somewhat western in Korra is Republic City, due to the statue of Aang referencing the Statue of Liberty and the tall building structure. But even those tall buildings are heavily made eastern looking in their designs.
I haven't enjoyed most Avatar content since the show ended. Only I've enjoyed were the Kyoshi/Yangchen books and the Search Comic. So I have little hope for any Avatar projects

It has to be a movie about how Aang connects with raava. I mean think about it, none of the avatars knew about raava in Aangs time but fast forward to Korras time and when she looses her memory all the avatars are telling her to find raava. I’m guessing Aang connected to her at some point in his life given how spiritual he is and it makes sense it would show up in the movie.
Avatar: The Lost Realm would probably be my preferred title but I did love your idea of Bautista as the villain being a spirit like character. I just read The Rift for the first time and him playing a character like General Old Iron would be pretty cool. As far as Yuen coming back to voice Avatar Wan, I think that's what's most likely and it doesn't technically hurt the lore when some people say "Why didn't Aang tell Korra about Wan?". I mean, Roku never always really went deep into conversation with Aang about the other past Avatars as much so there's that.
"Roku never always really went deep into conversation with Aang about the other past Avatars" Exactly. Until harmonic convergence all of the avatars had access to their full history. Even though they don't seem to routinely commune with more than a full cycle back, Aang presumably knew that if she needed Wan they would just talk directly - no need to explain anything, y'know?
Aang and Korra also didn’t have very many conversations period. Wan was 10,000 years in the past. When Aang first saw the avatar statutes, he knew Roku when he saw him, but it took Katara to realize they were in a hall of avatars before Roku was spotted. It is somewhat implied that the connection is strongest with the avatar’s most recent incarnation.
@@fishiefish2249 he isn’t any better or worse any other va frm the show, it’s mostly just stans that obsess over in, but in a skill or box office standpoint, he’s not.
I think the name ‘lost realm’ means there’s going to be a realm that’s not the spirit world nor the normal world (I forgot what they were called, haven’t watched avatar in a while lol).
WAIT! Theory- Aang met a lion turtle that gave him the knowledge/power to take bending away... Could he have been telepathically told the story of Avatar Wan during it? What if the movie dives into that moment he had on the turtle because he kept going to his past lives? That'd be cool 😅
Why is it that Zuko MUST come back but when it comes to the other actors returning everyone is all "Oh who cares?" They were just as iconic as Zuko was. I wanted to see them return but noooo everyone said oh well but for Zuko HE MUST RETURN. The actors are literally the age range of the new adult characters in the movie it makes no sense why they were not brought back. Even Tophs voice actor is apart of the freaking podcast like Zuko but she didnt get a call back.
@@will0ughbyMost fans of Avatar didn't. It'll be interesting if they can actually fix the continuity from Korra without retconning anything from the OG series. I'd hate to see that.
2:55 Same vibes as Katara: The king is having a party at his palace tonight for his pet bear! Aang: You mean Platypus-Bear Katara: No, it just says "Bear" Sokka: Certainly you mean his pet Skunk-Bear Toph: Or his Armadillo-Bear Aang: Gopher-Bear Katara: Just... "Bear" Toph: This place is weird.
I wouldn't be surprised if "Lost Realm" will be to the Avatar movie what "Ancient Futures" was to "Jurassic World," a working "code" title which can be used freely without anyone not in the know finding out what is actually being worked on.
While I understand the reasons why they’re doing the voice actor change, although I’m unsure if it’s entirely necessary, I think it would’ve been better implemented as a general rule of thumb for future castings instead of going back and changing the originals.
the only cannon ancient villain i can think of would have to be elder glow worm as he has repeatedly plagued several previous avatars and it was stated he is ancient and older then most of the other spirits (older then the sun and moon spirits and i believe he is just as old or even older then ra and vaatu), we know the last time he appeared kyoshi destroyed his physical form and banished him back to the spirit world but considering 250-300+ years have passed since there battle that would be enough time for him to reconstruct his physical body and return, he is the only current cannon villain that would be a legit threat to current aang based on the timeline, he is also the most well known canon villain that has yet to feature on screen and so far has only appeared in books/light novels and been mentioned a few times in the comics, the lost realm could very well be the place/prison kyoshi banished him to and since a few centuries have passed he would now have regained his strength and broke out or he manipulates a side villain/antagonist into freeing him (although him manipulating some one into doing it would be 2 similar to how vaatu escaped his prison korra) and considering how ancient he is i can definitely see him having fought wong and ra in the past (wouldn't be surprised if he was the one that killed wong as i honestly doubt he just died in some random human vs human conflict considering how weak other benders were during his time and how powerful he was) and over the 10,000 years since has been a re occurring villain for other avatars and now aang, i am hoping it is infact him but i would be fine with a brand new villain as well but considering how much of a menace he is stated to be in the LN/books and comics i would prefer he is the villain for the movie.
As you say, plenty of room to introduce a new creature, but this really makes the most sense. He can already burrow between the worlds, allowing him to find a hidden plane of existence. After his loss to Kyoshi he would absolutely find somewhere hidden to recover and plot his vengeance. Bautista would be a good casting choice for him too, IMO.
@@fools5271 if it is him he would have had to reemerge recently bc it woulda taken him multiple centuries to rebuild his physical body and strength up to the point he could reenter the physical world, infact i think kyoshi defeated him when she was in her 20s-30s and since she lived until she was over 200 along with the 2 avatars after her before aang means it likely took him 400-500+ years to return rather then the 250-300+ i originally said
@@fools5271 spirits need a physical body to manifest into the human world (atleast until korra reopens the sprit portals) and the 2 ways to do it are to either use there power to make a physical body for themself and/or possess and take over a human body but should there body or host be destroyed and there connection to the human world severed or they are heavily weakened and banished by the avatar to the sprit world then they need hundreds of years to rebuild a new physical body and the strength needed to forcefully enter the human world and prior to korra opening the portals only the most powerful and knowledgeable of spirits could do this
Did you watch the video? Or read ANYTHING on the movie? Zukos actor is most likely returning,Dante Basko has talked on the movie in the podcasts. You are not a real fan if your only info point is a UA-cam video title
something else the title could be trying to say is the spirit relm, it seems to be more known about in legend of korra than it was in avatar atla, soo maybe in this time period they explore it a bit more?
I already have worried about this project since the announcement of the va cast was based on the inclusivity and diversity casting instead of the og when they're already perfect as is, they're already old and it's not like they can't act mature
@@VinnieMFTwo of the actors arent even voice acting anymore. Dante is staying. Only Tophs actor doesnt make sense but she was a 12 year old so she is gonna sound different
I know it'll never happen; but I think it'd be cool if one day we see new Primary Elements. The only ones that could work though would be Light and Shadow. They are Elements of Nature (in Fantasy anyway). They are also Opposites to each other. This help maintain Balance. As far s how to introduce them? Well, either they could be newly discovered or ancient and hidden. If new; the Avatar could meet the first chosen Lightbender and Shadowbender and find a way to integrate them into this new world. If ancient and hidden; I'd say they could be *deep* underground. Where no one would even think explore. There are a lot of fun possibilities.
I assumed father glowworm went to Kyoshi’s fox after Yun died since the eyes were green and I assume a knowledge seeker searching for knowledge but when the fox got Yun and Glowworm’s spiritual energy, it connected to Kyoshi.
Any avatar movie that will have to be produced now needs to touch on a key point, they need to touch on how the new avatar will connect to the spirit world and past avatars
Steven Yeun is gonna voice Zuko. His voice is very similar to Zuko. It's very much the adult Zuko voice, without the adolescence in it. If Dante was doing it, he would've been mentioned by now. As if he is gonna be the big surprise of the movie, common guys...
I'm honestly going in the the expectation to be disappointed. Everything thats come after ATLA has just been 1 disappointment after another from Korra to NATLA. Now the creators are almost completely changing the VAs because they have their own notion that they now need to be Asian? Like, i get thats what should have happen from the beginning in the cartoon, but to change it now and not let the OG VAs that we know and love reprise their roles seems like a bad move. All the VAs are older, they wont sound like their kid selves.
I don't even know why they want them to be Asian when they don't genuinely respect Asian culture and ethics and traditions . Avatar since 2007 was subpar story with story problems with woke policies
@@sonorangaming449 agreed . I would prefer the original cast . They were what made the franchise just as much as the creators and the fans love them and waited to see them partaking in new avatar content. I understand the characters are based on Asians and native Americans but like I said they don't respect Asian and native American ( or any) culture and values like the alphabet and liberal ideologies and wokeness . It's ruining the culture avatar is based on and they removed the Chinese characters if the title as well. You can call it hypocrisy or double standards.
why dont they just use all the original voice actors?? they are all grown up by now and would make way more sense to use the grown voice actors for the now grown characters
What if is a forgotten realm or secret realm where ur can possibly gain new abilities but it’s also very very dangerous and at the end of the movie instead of making it a secret again they make it impossible to get back to the realm and it becomes a “myth” then they should leave hints at something still happening there at the end of the movie and then the new avatar has to fix it.
Honestly as much as it sucks that most of the original cast wont be returning, it makes sense. All of them were cast as young adolescents originally amd they are now mid twenties, they wouldn't sound the same. Except probably Zuko
That's why we want them back. They are older and don't sound the same, so they *can* reprise their roles. Tophs VA can't perfectly do young Toph anymore because her voice doesn't get that high anymore, but is still immediately recognizable as Toph because her mannerisms and inflections are still spot on.
Does he? Zuko was young and small when voiced by Dante,and now he has physically developed a lot.(Nearly grew a whole foot if we are looking at designs) He would sound a bit different logically. I mean i am 24 and i sound CONSIDERABLY different than at 16
@@newhybrid101 Yes, ur assuming Dante can't add more base into his voice if they asked him too. The main reason I want dance back is for his voice. I doubt anyone can sound like dantes zuko
What if the main antagonist is an ancient spirit (not particularly malicious) from a deeper corner of the spirit realm who migrates to the living world to wonder through the eons until he finally gets disgusted with the existence of the corrupted...?
Hot take:Korra is a better main character. People complain about Korra being op just doesn't make sense. Korra is a very good fighter, but she has gotten her ass beat alot. Ang never loses fights.Even when Xiao captured him if memory serves he got captured so Momo could cure Katara and Soka.He lost to Azula a total of twice. Ang almost learned fire bending immediatly.The only reason he wasn't a master by book 2 is cause he hurt Katara. Good character writing doe. Ang never struggles internally, besides when he loses Appa. He never has to.He just used the avatar state if he got sad. "I took your bending.Yes I just pulled this dumbass ability out of nowhere.I didn't even have to talk to Kyoshi, the only avatar to ever do it.I just willed it into myself." Korra actually struggles with things, and questions her morals. Yes she behaved inconsistantly sometimes, but Ang is just boring.
I dont really like the fact that this movie will retroactively bring stuff showed in The Legend Of Korra, as the show itself is really bad and breaks a massive amount of continuity as well as all of the political messages it tries to get across, Wan might be interesting in concept, tho honestly the air of mystisism around the 4 elements was always one of the things i loved about the show, and Wan story not only has the embarassing cultural overlap of "good vs evil spirit that are definetly not just a rehash of the bible" at its core, having no real depth like decisions and villans from TLAB had, as well as removing the mistery that made bending feel like a real historic and cultural relic. I really hope the writters have watched and disected both shows thoroughly and are able to do something that really reflects what The Last Airbender was all about, which is hard, given the fact that the show has hundreads of themes and executed them flawlessly
@@vetarlittorf1807 It breaks continuity regarding : - How spirits work; - The avatar journey and how bending and becoming the avatar actually works; - Massive historic events, such as the 100 year war, never freaking mentioned; - The avatar state becomes useless and Korra is simply gifted with it and the ability to turn it on and off whenever she wants, meanwhile Aang had to either give up completely of his relationships and all that keep him attached to his soul, not doing it at the end/ When it comes to Raava and Vaatu, different sources will tell you different stories from their inspiration, some will say that they are based on the Ying and Yang, some Zoroastrian and Hindu mythologies. Tho with all of the political bullshit that they implemented over in the show, with the "americanization" of so many different aspects, you really gonna tell me that you will defend the background of 2 entities you cant even trace their inspiration, because it is so generic and has no sort of emotional nor ethical conclusion, it is literally "good spirit vs bad spirit", as if every freaking culture in the world didnt had one of those, amongst a sea of ideas and inspirations, you have one a toddler could have pulled off on his own
@@Gamelover254it was trash tho. Doesn’t even feel like it takes place in the same world as atla. And the goofy American radio accents they do in the intros. It’s so unoriginal and cringe
I’m curios how everyone besides Aang will be relevant in the fight scenes especially against the final boss. I hope they don’t do to the crew what they did to the OG’s of dragon ball after Goku was able to turn into super saiyan
Lost realm could mean that fire nation rebelled against zuko i belief the books are not cannen so it would make sense to show how aang brings balance to the world
I have a video suggestion - Can waterbenders airbend cause Hama could take water out of air so could a really skilled water bender bend the water in air and then bend them take over the full air particle (like in bloodbending)? Please don't give the credit to me if you do.
6:18 That’s what makes the movie so hard. How do you write something the Gaang did without it making an impact in TLOK. Because if there was something major Katara, Kya, Bumi, Tenzin etc would tell that to Korra.
For the title bit, they are probably having the same problem the movie we do not speak of had. They cant use the word Avatar in the title of the movie because of the blue alien avatar series
Let's see James Cameron and his blue aliens try pulling that crap with The Avatar book by Poul Anderson published in 1978. He died in 2001 but copyright lasts for the author's entire life and a additional 70 years after they die. It has word has the word Avatar in the title and James Cameron can't do anything about it.

As far as Yuen coming back to voice Avatar Wan, I think that's what's most likely and it doesn't technically hurt the lore when some people say "Why didn't Aang tell Korra about Wan?". I mean, Roku never always really went deep into conversation with Aang about the other past Avatars as much so there's that.
"Roku never always really went deep into conversation with Aang about the other past Avatars"
Exactly. Until harmonic convergence all of the avatars had access to their full history. Even though they don't seem to routinely commune with more than a full cycle back, Aang presumably knew that if she needed Wan they would just talk directly - no need to explain anything, y'know?
Aang and Korra also didn’t have very many conversations period.
Wan was 10,000 years in the past. When Aang first saw the avatar statutes, he knew Roku when he saw him, but it took Katara to realize they were in a hall of avatars before Roku was spotted. It is somewhat implied that the connection is strongest with the avatar’s most recent incarnation.
I would love Dante as firelord Zuko infact i am really dissapointed if this is not gonna happen
He definitely thought he was worth way more than was the studio was willing to pay. Stans in the comments rly made him think he was irreplaceable
I'll be MASSIVELY disappointed if he doesn't voice Zuko.
@@ColorBlindJalenhe IS tho
@@fishiefish2249 he isn’t any better or worse any other va frm the show, it’s mostly just stans that obsess over in, but in a skill or box office standpoint, he’s not.
@@ColorBlindJalenAgreed
Love him but if he plays i hope he sounds more mature and stronger instead of just his normal voice.
I think the name ‘lost realm’ means there’s going to be a realm that’s not the spirit world nor the normal world (I forgot what they were called, haven’t watched avatar in a while lol).

WAIT! Theory- Aang met a lion turtle that gave him the knowledge/power to take bending away... Could he have been telepathically told the story of Avatar Wan during it? What if the movie dives into that moment he had on the turtle because he kept going to his past lives? That'd be cool 😅
Why is it that Zuko MUST come back but when it comes to the other actors returning everyone is all "Oh who cares?" They were just as iconic as Zuko was. I wanted to see them return but noooo everyone said oh well but for Zuko HE MUST RETURN. The actors are literally the age range of the new adult characters in the movie it makes no sense why they were not brought back. Even Tophs voice actor is apart of the freaking podcast like Zuko but she didnt get a call back.
Bringing Avatar Wan into this movie would be so interesting!! I hope that's the case, and we get to learn more about his lore and stuff
I don't like Wan...
@@will0ughbyMost fans of Avatar didn't. It'll be interesting if they can actually fix the continuity from Korra without retconning anything from the OG series. I'd hate to see that.

Had been a while that I clicked so fast on a video
2:55 Same vibes as
Katara: The king is having a party at his palace tonight for his pet bear!
Aang: You mean Platypus-Bear
Katara: No, it just says "Bear"
Sokka: Certainly you mean his pet Skunk-Bear
Toph: Or his Armadillo-Bear
Aang: Gopher-Bear
Katara: Just... "Bear"
Toph: This place is weird.
Wait...Sass is Sokka? I'm here for it. I can see him doing justice to the role, even if I'd still prefer the OG Jack DeSena.
Oh man!!! I can't wait!!!!
3:05 will we see Koh and Also the Mother of faces as a Zuko Mom storyline?
No.That storyline you say takes place 10 years before this movie
I wouldn't be surprised if "Lost Realm" will be to the Avatar movie what "Ancient Futures" was to "Jurassic World," a working "code" title which can be used freely without anyone not in the know finding out what is actually being worked on.
its about time we got a new update about the movie
Thank you for the recap! 😊

And imagine we see some parts of Yakone?

Why not use the original voice actors, most if not all of them could do it and make it work.
They’re White
Because they're white. White people are not allowed to voice non-white characters anymore.
They want them to be Asian or indigenous
@@rebel2191 and that's why you don't vote biden
@@rebel2191Which doesn't make any sense because VA ethnicity doesn't affect the show at all, lmao.
While I understand the reasons why they’re doing the voice actor change, although I’m unsure if it’s entirely necessary, I think it would’ve been better implemented as a general rule of thumb for future castings instead of going back and changing the originals.
I feel like they would be lost in the spirit realm with the villain being a spirit and wan would help and fight it and get out, idk.
Hopefully it will still be good
I wish I forgot all about avatar the last air bender so I can watch it again
the only cannon ancient villain i can think of would have to be elder glow worm as he has repeatedly plagued several previous avatars and it was stated he is ancient and older then most of the other spirits (older then the sun and moon spirits and i believe he is just as old or even older then ra and vaatu), we know the last time he appeared kyoshi destroyed his physical form and banished him back to the spirit world but considering 250-300+ years have passed since there battle that would be enough time for him to reconstruct his physical body and return, he is the only current cannon villain that would be a legit threat to current aang based on the timeline, he is also the most well known canon villain that has yet to feature on screen and so far has only appeared in books/light novels and been mentioned a few times in the comics, the lost realm could very well be the place/prison kyoshi banished him to and since a few centuries have passed he would now have regained his strength and broke out or he manipulates a side villain/antagonist into freeing him (although him manipulating some one into doing it would be 2 similar to how vaatu escaped his prison korra) and considering how ancient he is i can definitely see him having fought wong and ra in the past (wouldn't be surprised if he was the one that killed wong as i honestly doubt he just died in some random human vs human conflict considering how weak other benders were during his time and how powerful he was) and over the 10,000 years since has been a re occurring villain for other avatars and now aang, i am hoping it is infact him but i would be fine with a brand new villain as well but considering how much of a menace he is stated to be in the LN/books and comics i would prefer he is the villain for the movie.
As you say, plenty of room to introduce a new creature, but this really makes the most sense. He can already burrow between the worlds, allowing him to find a hidden plane of existence. After his loss to Kyoshi he would absolutely find somewhere hidden to recover and plot his vengeance. Bautista would be a good casting choice for him too, IMO.
The 100 year war and avatars disappearance has given him free reign to feast on humans and become powerful 😅
@@fools5271 if it is him he would have had to reemerge recently bc it woulda taken him multiple centuries to rebuild his physical body and strength up to the point he could reenter the physical world, infact i think kyoshi defeated him when she was in her 20s-30s and since she lived until she was over 200 along with the 2 avatars after her before aang means it likely took him 400-500+ years to return rather then the 250-300+ i originally said
@@CrimsonReapa is he unable to enter the physical world without a physical body?
@@fools5271 spirits need a physical body to manifest into the human world (atleast until korra reopens the sprit portals) and the 2 ways to do it are to either use there power to make a physical body for themself and/or possess and take over a human body but should there body or host be destroyed and there connection to the human world severed or they are heavily weakened and banished by the avatar to the sprit world then they need hundreds of years to rebuild a new physical body and the strength needed to forcefully enter the human world and prior to korra opening the portals only the most powerful and knowledgeable of spirits could do this
You think they're actually trying to harmonize the continuity from Korra? That's quite the task, but I don't know. I'm skeptically optimistic. Lol
Literally impossible. There's too much that Korra destroys.
@@dragonmaster1360 I have apprehension as well, but we'll see, I guess. You never know what the writers might pull out of their ass lol
GLENN AND INVINCIBLE VOICE WAN?? How did i not know that
i'm not sure if they're still available but i wish they would've tried to get some of the old cast members again at least for sokka katara and zuko
Did you watch the video?
Or read ANYTHING on the movie?
Zukos actor is most likely returning,Dante Basko has talked on the movie in the podcasts.
You are not a real fan if your only info point is a UA-cam video title
@newhybrid101 yeah i wrote the comment premature. any updates on og sokka and katara? oh yeah i thought so
Wouldn’t aang actually be 124 years old?
His chronological age is irrelevant. He's biologically and mentally 24 in this movie.
Wait Sass is now Sokka? And Dante is back? hell yeah
something else the title could be trying to say is the spirit relm, it seems to be more known about in legend of korra than it was in avatar atla, soo maybe in this time period they explore it a bit more?
The one thing I want from this movie (apart from it being a good one) is more Iron screen time, in the human or the spirit world !
omg im so excited for aang to sound like that XD
I wont live without this movie.
I really liked avatar wan. I’d love to see him show up! I also want Suki(and maybe Iroh) to show up.
I already have worried about this project since the announcement of the va cast was based on the inclusivity and diversity casting instead of the og when they're already perfect as is, they're already old and it's not like they can't act mature
why did they kick the old voice cast?
They’re White
Who cares lol?
The new voices are great,i heard them
@@newhybrid101 the VAs who lost out on jobs because of their race certainly should
Identity politics
@@VinnieMFTwo of the actors arent even voice acting anymore.
Dante is staying.
Only Tophs actor doesnt make sense but she was a 12 year old so she is gonna sound different
I think it's referring to the spirit world
I know it'll never happen; but I think it'd be cool if one day we see new Primary Elements. The only ones that could work though would be Light and Shadow. They are Elements of Nature (in Fantasy anyway). They are also Opposites to each other. This help maintain Balance.
As far s how to introduce them? Well, either they could be newly discovered or ancient and hidden. If new; the Avatar could meet the first chosen Lightbender and Shadowbender and find a way to integrate them into this new world. If ancient and hidden; I'd say they could be *deep* underground. Where no one would even think explore.
There are a lot of fun possibilities.
Maybe Father Glowworm will be the villan. That could be interesting to see him animated
Makes the most sense, he should be powerful again considering the 100 year war and avatar disappearance giving him free range to consume humans
I assumed father glowworm went to Kyoshi’s fox after Yun died since the eyes were green and I assume a knowledge seeker searching for knowledge but when the fox got Yun and Glowworm’s spiritual energy, it connected to Kyoshi.
The possibility that people won't know it's Avatar from the title
Aka “clickbait”: movie edition

@@dragonmaster1360 isn't the movie before Korra?
Any avatar movie that will have to be produced now needs to touch on a key point, they need to touch on how the new avatar will connect to the spirit world and past avatars
Looking that Korra couldn't connect again with the past avatar and rava again, so everything should be in preparation for the next avatar
One thing I would love to see in this series is what I call animal benders and the peregrine falcon that is half man and half falcon.
@@klairbaranek You'd be better off watching another show, then.
I hope Dave Bautista also gets cast as the combustion man in the netflix season 3
So almost none of the original voice cast have been asked back because DIVERSITY …
Steven Yeun is gonna voice Zuko. His voice is very similar to Zuko. It's very much the adult Zuko voice, without the adolescence in it. If Dante was doing it, he would've been mentioned by now. As if he is gonna be the big surprise of the movie, common guys...
would it be The Last Airbender: Lost Realm?
I'm honestly going in the the expectation to be disappointed. Everything thats come after ATLA has just been 1 disappointment after another from Korra to NATLA. Now the creators are almost completely changing the VAs because they have their own notion that they now need to be Asian? Like, i get thats what should have happen from the beginning in the cartoon, but to change it now and not let the OG VAs that we know and love reprise their roles seems like a bad move. All the VAs are older, they wont sound like their kid selves.
I don't even know why they want them to be Asian when they don't genuinely respect Asian culture and ethics and traditions
. Avatar since 2007 was subpar story with story problems with woke policies
@patricofritz4094 it's not like we are even going to be seeing them anyway.
@@sonorangaming449 agreed . I would prefer the original cast . They were what made the franchise just as much as the creators and the fans love them and waited to see them partaking in new avatar content. I understand the characters are based on Asians and native Americans but like I said they don't respect Asian and native American ( or any) culture and values like the alphabet and liberal ideologies and wokeness . It's ruining the culture avatar is based on and they removed the Chinese characters if the title as well. You can call it hypocrisy or double standards.
Ay! Eric Nam is the lead :D
I wonder if Aang will master all the elements. Want to see him do firebending

@@newhybrid101hes not 45 in the movie tho is he
why dont they just use all the original voice actors?? they are all grown up by now and would make way more sense to use the grown voice actors for the now grown characters
What if is a forgotten realm or secret realm where ur can possibly gain new abilities but it’s also very very dangerous and at the end of the movie instead of making it a secret again they make it impossible to get back to the realm and it becomes a “myth” then they should leave hints at something still happening there at the end of the movie and then the new avatar has to fix it.
Avatar fans are satisfied with anything I swear 💀
Honestly as much as it sucks that most of the original cast wont be returning, it makes sense. All of them were cast as young adolescents originally amd they are now mid twenties, they wouldn't sound the same. Except probably Zuko
That's why we want them back. They are older and don't sound the same, so they *can* reprise their roles. Tophs VA can't perfectly do young Toph anymore because her voice doesn't get that high anymore, but is still immediately recognizable as Toph because her mannerisms and inflections are still spot on.
Zuko HAS to be Dante
Does he?
Zuko was young and small when voiced by Dante,and now he has physically developed a lot.(Nearly grew a whole foot if we are looking at designs)
He would sound a bit different logically.
I mean i am 24 and i sound CONSIDERABLY different than at 16
No he sounds 12. worst voice of the show
@@newhybrid101 Yes, ur assuming Dante can't add more base into his voice if they asked him too. The main reason I want dance back is for his voice. I doubt anyone can sound like dantes zuko
maybe the movie will be about the place where the Lion Turtles went
What if the main antagonist is an ancient spirit (not particularly malicious) from a deeper corner of the spirit realm who migrates to the living world to wonder through the eons until he finally gets disgusted with the existence of the corrupted...?
2:19 whats up with this footage looks so strange
Maybe it's just a flashback. Steven is voicing Van but maybe it's not as complicated as you think.
3:01 NO NONONONONONO please no 😭😭
Hot take:Korra is a better main character. People complain about Korra being op just doesn't make sense. Korra is a very good fighter, but she has gotten her ass beat alot. Ang never loses fights.Even when Xiao captured him if memory serves he got captured so Momo could cure Katara and Soka.He lost to Azula a total of twice. Ang almost learned fire bending immediatly.The only reason he wasn't a master by book 2 is cause he hurt Katara. Good character writing doe. Ang never struggles internally, besides when he loses Appa. He never has to.He just used the avatar state if he got sad. "I took your bending.Yes I just pulled this dumbass ability out of nowhere.I didn't even have to talk to Kyoshi, the only avatar to ever do it.I just willed it into myself." Korra actually struggles with things, and questions her morals. Yes she behaved inconsistantly sometimes, but Ang is just boring.
Where is this scene 7:13 from? I don't remember this at all?
i believe it's s1e14 the fortune teller
It's the Earthbending twin from fortune teller trying to stop a volcano
Jack deSena should have been brought back for Sokka. His voice literally hasn't changed, and Sokka was already 16 in the original series.
I know in other countries it was called Legend of Aang. Maybe that's the de facto title.
Yeah ofc, Dantes voice is the staple Zuko voice.
I’m in the lost realm. They need to hurry up!! Ughhh
i wish toph was voiced by the orginal voice
I dont really like the fact that this movie will retroactively bring stuff showed in The Legend Of Korra, as the show itself is really bad and breaks a massive amount of continuity as well as all of the political messages it tries to get across, Wan might be interesting in concept, tho honestly the air of mystisism around the 4 elements was always one of the things i loved about the show, and Wan story not only has the embarassing cultural overlap of "good vs evil spirit that are definetly not just a rehash of the bible" at its core, having no real depth like decisions and villans from TLAB had, as well as removing the mistery that made bending feel like a real historic and cultural relic. I really hope the writters have watched and disected both shows thoroughly and are able to do something that really reflects what The Last Airbender was all about, which is hard, given the fact that the show has hundreads of themes and executed them flawlessly
The show didn't break any continuity. And Raava and Vaatu are based on Zoroastrian and Hindu mythologies, not the bible.
@@vetarlittorf1807 It breaks continuity regarding :
- How spirits work;
- The avatar journey and how bending and becoming the avatar actually works;
- Massive historic events, such as the 100 year war, never freaking mentioned;
- The avatar state becomes useless and Korra is simply gifted with it and the ability to turn it on and off whenever she wants, meanwhile Aang had to either give up completely of his relationships and all that keep him attached to his soul, not doing it at the end/
When it comes to Raava and Vaatu, different sources will tell you different stories from their inspiration, some will say that they are based on the Ying and Yang, some Zoroastrian and Hindu mythologies. Tho with all of the political bullshit that they implemented over in the show, with the "americanization" of so many different aspects, you really gonna tell me that you will defend the background of 2 entities you cant even trace their inspiration, because it is so generic and has no sort of emotional nor ethical conclusion, it is literally "good spirit vs bad spirit", as if every freaking culture in the world didnt had one of those, amongst a sea of ideas and inspirations, you have one a toddler could have pulled off on his own
Korra is 100% canon whether you like it or not. Them’s the breaks son.
@@Gamelover254 And? That doesnt mean i have to like the show itself, not really an argument
@@Gamelover254it was trash tho. Doesn’t even feel like it takes place in the same world as atla. And the goofy American radio accents they do in the intros. It’s so unoriginal and cringe
I’m curios how everyone besides Aang will be relevant in the fight scenes especially against the final boss. I hope they don’t do to the crew what they did to the OG’s of dragon ball after Goku was able to turn into super saiyan
I just really hope they don’t do the characters dirty like ruin their personalities, character development or talent get ruined
I’m scared for a sokkas va i feel he was irreplaceable
Lost realm could mean that fire nation rebelled against zuko i belief the books are not cannen so it would make sense to show how aang brings balance to the world
I have a video suggestion - Can waterbenders airbend cause Hama could take water out of air so could a really skilled water bender bend the water in air and then bend them take over the full air particle (like in bloodbending)? Please don't give the credit to me if you do.

For the title bit, they are probably having the same problem the movie we do not speak of had. They cant use the word Avatar in the title of the movie because of the blue alien avatar series
Let's see James Cameron and his blue aliens try pulling that crap with The Avatar book by Poul Anderson published in 1978. He died in 2001 but copyright lasts for the author's entire life and a additional 70 years after they die. It has word has the word Avatar in the title and James Cameron can't do anything about it.
