I was not disappointed by how hilariously bad this was. Honestly not as awful as I was expecting but the bar has definitely been lowered now for the Netflix adaptation. Hope you enjoy laughing along with me!! Enjoy :)

Hey Marshmallows. Thought I’d upload this now since the finale of the show is having issues and you were all waiting.
I really expected the finale today 😭
@waidi3242 the video probably got a copyright strike. Usually in the case of reaction videos like this it's just a matter of disputing it and waiting for UA-cam to correct it. If that's the case the video will publish once the flag is removed. If that's what's going on it could get fixed today
i was so hyped for the finale too haha. i hope itll come soon :D
It will be just like the Ember Island Players recap before the finale but instead of having a lot of fun remembering the journey you guys will just hang yourselves 🤣
Lol that explains it! I was here looking through the channel wondering how I could have missed the finale 😂
"Did they even watch the show?"
As a matter of fact, they didn't!
I heard that M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter is a fan of the show.
@@isaiahadams1208
That poor daughter😭❤
But hopefully she gives him shit for it any chance she gets🤣
The good part is you're never gonna get copy for this movie because no one in their right mind would dare claim authorship of it.
Last I heard Shyamalan still insists that it’s a good movie and the audience just doesn’t “get it.”
@@JNDReacts 🤣
@@JNDReactsI don’t even want to get it if that’s the case.
I used to own a copy. I just checked my movie inventory and it seems like I got rid of it.
But make no mistake…I didn’t buy it because I thought the movie was good. I hated this monstrosity. I bought it because back then we were still greedy for A:tLA content and I was hoping that M. Night Shyamalan could redeem himself (redeem his honour 😛 ) with the 2nd movie.
@@poogie_ 🤣 that man has no honor. He would lose every agni 'kee' 🤣

I watched this in the theatre with my son and his 4 cousins aged 7 - 12. When the movie ended, I thought all the kids in the audience were gonna riot. Ive never seen sooo many pissed off kids.
This and the Eragon movie got that reaction out of me.
I am so happy I completely forgot about the movie as a kid, I remember being hyped when the first trailer came out but then forgot about it and only saw it many years later.
@@Galiant2010 I have been to the theatre for both of them and if someone asked me wich one is the worst i honestly could not answer. they were both so utterly terrible, such a complete failure to encapsulate even a fraction of their source material that i hold them in equal contempt.
@@Galiant2010 I watched Eragon before reading the books. I liked the movie. I get why it didn't keep going, but I still liked it.
Lol, I don't blame them. 9 year old me was also rioting when I saw they skipped Kyoshi Island in the movies. I loved the Kyoshi warriors lol.
Zuko: "Firebenders!"

Oh dear Raava, I will never be able to unsee that
You're joking!! 😳🙈
28:48 "Why did they decide for him to talk to just the Dragon."
Because Roku was miles above their budget 😂
The crazy thing is that the budget for this movie was actually quite substantial, but they obviously did a horrible job allocating it
@@majolkhine12 interesting. wonder how much Appa and the Northern water kingdom cost
@@thepenmaster I'm wondering how much the seven earthbenders and the boulder cost 😂
8:23 "Avatar state, yip yip!" 😂😂😂
That quote never left me since when I first watched the Ember Island Players episode. Glad I'm not alone. I can't hear anyone say "Avatar state" without adding "yip yip!" in my mind.
Regarding this movie... yeah, what a catastrophe😅 The worst thing to me is the writing, with its unnatural dialogue and the endless exposition. But even without it, this movie has so many glaring flaws. That earthbending scene with seven energic dudes moving a slow little rock is iconic, though.
this movie is the equivalent of listening to an audio book on shuffle, skipping every second track and not realizing that your headphones are broken
And realizing you bought the wrong audio book and your Internet connection is bad so it gets stuck randomly
Well the one thing we can thank this movie for is the actress who plays Yue. She voices a great character in Korra!

I just came in to see your reaction to "earthbenders perform a whole group dance to hover a pebble across the screen" scene and somehow even after seeing it a bunch of times, it still pains me 😂
The visceral anger I feel over that scene 😂
Me too😂😂😂
@@lilscenechick1995- It helps me to watch other people watch and react to the scene. Lessens the pain when others share it, at least for me. 😁
It's clear that the single rock is being bent by that one guy and that they didn't have the budget or couldn't figure out how to animate whatever the large group was actually supposed to be bending. So it just looks absolutely absurd. Why keep that scene at all and have them bending absolutely nothing? The editing in the movie was just so bad.
@@loupgarou95they supposed to raise an earth wall earlier, but the editing is so so bad it feels like they move that pebble
4:14 "Was that the scar? It looks like he got scratched by a cat!" - I laughed way too hard at that 😂
16:03 Because she’s just so full of hope that it’s making her tearbend! 😭
bruh i choked
How did the firebenders wipe out the air nomads if they needed to carry torches, couldn't the nomads just blow out all their flames?😂
Tbf Comet would give them the power to "create fire" out of nothing, in this movies understanding of fire bending.
“Her hair dye gave life back to the fish” 😂😂😂
It’s so bad. I don’t know why we enjoy watching it inflicted on others-it’s like an avatar hazing ritual. You are now initiated 🎉😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It won 5/9 Golden Razzie Awards winning Worst Picture of 2010.
That's some achievement!
It should've swept. This is legendary trash like Dead Snow
I looked it up and yeah it was mentioned a lot during the Razzie Awards lol (It was 2011 though)
"I'm hyped to see this movie just because how bad you keep saying it is". Dude, Oscar, what didn't you understand? 🤣
4:08 Ok, so the thing with the name changes is that Shyamalan was trying to make them more accurate to the languages they’re based on. And I could have been fine with that, if he had also cast actors that were accurate to the races the characters were based on! But how are you gonna argue accuracy in one area when you changed everything else in another area?
"Agni Kee"
One thing I really hope the Netflix drama gets right is something that gets misunderstood quite often by reactors even in the OG animated show quite a bit in the Season 1 finale. Aang didn't turn into anything, the Ocean Spirit literally took over Aang's body in revenge for the Moon Spirit's death. Aang wasn't in control of any of that devastation. That's why he gets set down on the outer wall after, and then the Ocean Spirit takes Zhao. That's one of the reasons Aang was so scared of the Avatar State and the reason for the whole Season 2 opening episode, his total lack of control of the situation.
@@kmjkmjkmj I suppose it's up to interpretation, I've always seen it as mostly involuntary. Either way, most seem to miss it being the Ocean Spirit/Aang merge to begin with, so I hope it gets the same awe I think it deserves
@@sherra-samaNah you are 100 percent right.
I don't know that it was just the Ocean Spirit taking over Aang, I always took is as both working together. Of course Aang didn't gain control of the Avatar State until the end of the show so it was the Avatar State mixed with the fish with no imput from Aang but that was the case for all instances in the Avatar State which is why Aang's nightmares in the first episode of Season 2 are all the times he went into the Avatar State not just the finale.
I always understood that tbh
@@alyssabullock6421 you'd be surprised how many don't
I find the end of this movie disgusting. You have Sokka and Katara bowing to Aang subserviently, whereas, in the animated series you have a music swell as they stand at Aang's side when Sokka puts his hand on Aang's shoulder to indicate how far they have come since the beginning of the show.
And Ung looks constipated
@@PelafinaLievrethe whole movie from start to finish
"They want you to be their Avatar."
Ah yes, my favorite characters such as Ong, Eerio, soukka and so on
Don't forget Aapaa, Kaytayray, Zuhkoo and Yuh-ee.
Ah yes Ong, my favourite Ohvata
"... rhymes with 'wrong'"
Don’t forget their Agni-Key😂
Yu-Gi-OH !!! ( I figured if the movie can just make up characters)
They only joy I've ever gotten from this film is watching new avatar fans react to it and realize that it is in fact just as bad/if not worse than what everyone was telling them.
For me, the worst change in this entire movie is one that barely talk about. In the scene where Zuko tells his origin, he said that he spoke out of term because HIS FRIENDS were going to be used as bait. In the show, they were just random recruits that had no emotional connection to Zuko. Implying in the movie had the soldiers that were going to be used as bait weren’t his friends, Zuko wouldn’t have said anything. It the worst character assassination since it turn Zuko from a young kid with a heart who love his country and it people into a privileged rich kid who doesn’t care about what happens outside his palace.
His reaction to all the name mispronunciations is so perfect. I hate this movie but love this reaction!
My fave fact about this heap of poo is that the intricate design of Oong's tattoo was the only suggestion that was kept from the show's creators.😅
Funnily enough, the show itself has a perfect review of this movie from Team Avatar themselves:
Zuko: That ... wasn't a good play.
Aang: I'll say.
Katara: No kidding.
Suki: Horrible.
Toph: You said it.
Sokka: But the effects were decent.
And I'll add that James Newton Howard's score was pretty good. Way better than this movie deserves.
Every Avatar fan's mind while sitting in the theater:
"The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai."
"Is that Aang?"
No. Worse...
ONG
*Aang
@@nathanielreik6617 dude how do you miss the joke this hard
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 I got the joke. The post clearly says it was edited. Originally Aang was misspelled.
@@nathanielreik6617 ah
13:43 "Show, don't tell. This whole movie is just tell." You NAILED it. The exposition is craaaaaazy. One of my favorite things to do when I watch this movie (which is only ever during reactions like yous, lol) is to watch the background actors during fight scenes. None of them were given any blocking direction, so they literally just stand there like idling NPCs while the main characters rev up their insanely-slow attacks. It's pretty hilarious!
4:10 In the show, Zuko used Gran Gran as an example of how old Aang was supposed to be. Here it just looks like he has a very weird fetish. Who storms in a village screaming that? 🤣
I literally audibly said no don’t do it when I saw the thumbnail lol
Can't get over how much you loved Jasper in Twilight, but in this, you're like, "What's up with that facial expression bro"! 🤣
25:52 I wonder if the actors thought there would be water flowing all around them. It feels like there should've been.
Less than 2 mins in "Is that the guy from Twilight?!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm just dying
it is Jackson Rathbone, who played Jasper Hale in Twilight. He is such a good actor but its just sad the two i have seen him in are bad adaptations.
I honestly think this was an adaptation of the Wikipedia synopsis of Book 1, rather than an adaptation of the actual season. They probably didn’t even watch the show, just read the Wikipedia page and called it a day.
They literally did not watch the show, and even barred the creators of the animated series from entering the studio building.
Know who should find out what is under the ice? Sokka's instincts!
Fun fact: I saw Korra when I was young, but never even knew about ATLA until maybe 5-6 years ago and the reason I wanted to see the animated version was because I *shiver* enjoyed this movie.
I then proceeded to watch the series, laugh my head off and simultaneously cry my eyes out.
I returned the movie and died inside...
Imagine wait for this movie, go to the cinema, pay for it. And get this
That's rough, buddy.😪
Imagine going to see it in 3D like I did. Waste of money and 3D.
I for one am so excited that they're finally going to make a live action ATLA since its never been done before 👀
Also it’s kinda funny that Yue’s actress was in something like this but then she got to redeem herself by voicing Asami in The Legend of Korra and is one of the coolest non-benders in the ATLA-verse.
21:38 is exactly how I respond to customers when they say "so you're telling me..." and say what I just told them but in an angry tone
11:29 a teacher in high school once said, the way people know who is a fan is by messing it up, fans will correct you. I hadn't noticed it before, that they were surrounded by earth in that scene. 😂
The worst part is that in the behind the scenes videos I’ve seen the actor for Aang is actually kinda goofy and a prankster and they just made him a statue
That's so sad! I don't think he would've been bad as Aang had he had better direction. That moment where he screamed and went into the Avatar state after finding his people had been wiped out, it was a *good* moment from him! I feel so bad for the actors in this movie.
I cant believe you put this out while leaving me waiting for the finale reaction!!!! 😅
factsssss
Seriously I feel like we got jebaited 😂
It got taken down, he’s trying to put it back up.
Just started watching and he asks "Is she going to be doing a lot of exposition?" LOL, the answer to that is a definite yes. Tell, not show, is at the missing heart of this movie (which in fact does not exist).
20:00 in the show, Aang helps the blue spirit without hesitation. And only after escaping does he realize the spirit is zuko. In a heartbeat, he rescues zuko while he is unconscious
Actually, he does hesitate to save Zuko in the show once he realizes that it's him. He instinctively starts running away then looks back, feels bad, and goes back to get him.
It's funny watching you go in blind, and then having the SAME thoughts as pretty much everyone else who saw the show and then watched this movie.
Like you've gotten a good chunk of the issues, point by point, just on a first viewing.
It's truly amazing.
I'm so glad you watched the movie adaptation. I don't know if i'd class it as a rite of passage but seeing your reaction to this especially after watching you fall in love with the series as we all did was great. I have to admit all these years later I still can't get over the fact that when they were trying to cut down the season for the movie they kept Haru (but put the prison for earth benders surrounded by earth and took Katara's character development away) and also chose to lose both Bumi and Suki.
Katara is just so full of hope, it's making her TEARBEND!
Aang in the show: excels at water bending due to its similarity with Airbending
Movie Oong: “he was having trouble mastering water bending”
wut
Of all the people who have zero personality, i am so glad that you mention Appa above everyone else.
They either forgot to CGI the group of earth benders bending in formation or they were bending off screen because the stone being bended is by one guy who isn’t in the group
Nah they let the stone slowly float in front of him and he then shoots it across the place... which makes it even worse.
Smh 10 people doing hot potato to throw a rock… I didn’t think it could’ve gotten worse but yeah that does
Yo I will never forget watching this movie in the theater when my little sis and I were just barely old enough teens to watch a movie by ourselves without our parents there. We've always been big ATLA megs fans and were so excited to see how they would fit season 1 into a movie.
I will ESPECIALLY never forget the slow, gradual way this movie just sapped the spirit out of me and made me die inside until there was just this heavy pit of apathy and bitterness that made us and the whole theater walk out in almost complete silence like we just got out of a fucking funeral.
As my sister and I were walking down the aisles we made only about 2 or 3 comments total "wow, that sucked", "they pronounced EVERY SINGLE name wrong!", and didn't say much else besides that both before and after out parents picked us up. We were so done haha.
This movie is so horrendous, I actually have a lot of fun watching other people react. My personal favorite highlight from the movie, is Katara and Aang’s water bending teacher going “ooooooo” 28:03 😂😂😂😂
They couldnt even put Zuko in a PONY TAIL. You know it's gonna suck when they dont care enough to get the simplest design details correct 💀
11:56 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA the pitch of your voice when you laugh was so hi!!!!! Nat Gold went through the same when reacting to this movie hahaha
I love Nat’s reactions! I noticed she watched it and thought ah what the hell I’ll do it 😆
Everything changed when the Shyamalan Attacked. 😂
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
You have passed your rite of passage, you are now a full fledged Gaang member LOL!!
This is the equivalent of them taking the play at ember island and turning it into a live action film😂😂
The play was better! 😂
That is an insult to the play, the Fire Nation clearly put in more effort! 🤣
@@badboyluvr true. At least they did their research😂
Honestly, what MIGHT'VE worked would have been 2 movies per season for a total of 6.
First movie: "The Boy in the Iceberg" -> "The Blue Spirit"
(Mostly worldbuilding and character introductions with Zuko rescuing Aang being the climax.)
Second movie: "The Fortuneteller" -> "The Siege of the North, Part 2"
(The least amount of episodes, but the northern Water Tribe could be more fleshed out.)
Third movie: "The Avatar State" -> "The Library"
(The start of the journey all across the earth kingdom with the loss of Appa becoming the climax.)
Fourth movie: "The Desert" -> "The Crossroads of Destiny"
(Their eventual reunion with Appa as the initial goal with probably the most surprising final.)
Fifth movie: "The Awakening" -> "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse"
(The adventure into the fire nation with another defeat becoming the climax.)
Sixth movie: "The Western Air Temple" -> "Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang"
(After all the hardship they finally reach the end with an incredibly epic final.)
It probably still wouldn't be perfect, but it would allow for WAY more time to be spend on fleshing out the world, characters and especially getting a coherent story.
"Are you the uvutar ung?"
Just finished and, yes, you did try. A very appropriate reaction to someone who truly gets the animated show. To borrow from The Ember Island Players, that wasn't a good movie...but the effects were decent.
You mention the cinematography, it was done by Andrew Lesnie, who also did cinematography for the terrific The Lord of the Rings and Babe movies. No, the problem here was just with the writing, direction, and acting.
You are now definitely one of us!
In the words of the northern water tribe, I just want to say “OOOOHHHH”
2:49 Who says "Uncle! Look!" here? Because Zuko's jaw doesn't move, so it isn't him.
4:16 "It looks like he got scratched by a cat" my friend said the scar looks like a diaper rash LMFAO
my roommate said the scar looks like mild sweat rash lmao
"now that I've seen whatever that was" 😂😂😂 yeeeeah we all feel the same way.
I have been too afraid to actually watch this adaptation blindly, so it will be my first time watching with you.
Your reaction to the pronunciations of the names are priceless!
the only one who is somewhat trying is Dev Patel and I feel so bad for him
I have to say that you were true to form. This is the nicest way I've ever seen anyone say "I hate it!!!!"
Go back and watch the Ember Island Players now. You'll see hints that the creators knew this movie was going to be bad and snuck their frustrations in that episode, along with one or two throughout the last half of season 3.
To give this movie the tiniest amount of credit to its watchability, it is a fun movie to poke fun at while watching it. Also I'll say it now. In my opinion, The Blue Spirit mask in this movie actually looks really badass
It's weird how the actor playing Zuko is angry one minute and then whispers the next minute.
To quote the SpongeBob SquarePants movie my eyes!!!
I really love that, like most A:TLA reactors, you came into this with an open mind. And over the course of the film, it broke you down.
Now you see why all the fans HATE this movie. It feels more like a student film than one produced with millions (maybe even billions) of dollars as a budget. Every time I see scenes from it, I find more things wrong with it.
... There's never been a film that even remotely approaches a billion dollars in budget.
The stated budget for this film was 150 million USD.
@@Nomadic813 Has there not been? I could've sworn modern movies were around the 1 billion mark nowadays. But, I obviously don't pay too close attention to that. Thanks for letting me know!
Percy Jackson has the peter johnson movies, this is shyamalamadingdong's Last Ovatar film
Thanks for your sacrifice. It's somehow even worse than i remembered
I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you are now a true fan.
I enjoyed your reaction, not the movie. Tho, I liked how they did the tattoos.
It feels like a parody of the ember island players' parody
28:03 They WISH they were as good as Helm's Deep's battle. Remember how intimidating it was when ALL the Uruk-hai slammed their spears into the ground in unison? The loud crash of doing it all at once instead of tippy tapping randomly?
There is no “The Last Airbender” in Ba Sing Se
Here we are safe. Here we are free.
the positives of this movie (for me) were the costumes, aang’s tattoo design, and the actual sets. everything outside of that gives me an allergic reaction lmao
my parents bought me this movie when it first came out in 2010 because I loved the show so much. I literally haven’t dared to watch it again until now and it’s just as bad as I remember😭
Oh man, the live action movie! yikes. I knew we'd get here eventually but I was surprised to see it pop up in my feed. I agree it is a rite of passage. I don't think you can truly understand what it means to be an avatar the last air bender fan if you haven't experienced the pain that is this film.
"Are you the Ahvatar Ung?" Has got to be the worst line of the entire movie. Any other honorable mentions?
*[hands you the entire script]*
This isn't a line, but they did Yue's hair so dirty. They literally made her a di c k head 😭
The one that heavily bothers me (maybe disproportionally) is Zhao screaming "We are now the gods" when he kills the moon spirit. WHICH GODS??? THERE AREN'T ANY GODS IN THIS WORLD...
not a line, but Yue's hair. They did her so dirty😭😭
“Leave him alone!!”
Ive avoided seeing this movie for years and finally, with the cocoa couch, i shall watch-
Soukka: "Why is your hair white young lady you look very odd😏"
Me: ...🤨😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When the Ember Island Players actually have the second best retelling of the story.. Until the new live action show
Now you see why we're all terrified. It's been done so badlu before, the creators left pretty early on and said it wasn't going to be what they wanted it to be and now they've been showing us changes like Suki's mom, calling it a remix instead of a cover, like... They think they know better than we do what we want to see, what we like about the show, and they seem to think very highly of their artistic abilities, that their changes will make it better. We'll see, but if they fuck it up we riot. No one wants to watch remake after remake over and over again, it has to be done right. There aren't many more chances to get it right, and a live action done right would help put the story to bed for a few decades.
The one scene that I thought was kinda cool in this was Iroh producing his own fire; disregarding how stupid it is that most firebenders need an existing source of flame, it did a good job showing how powerful and scary Iroh can be.
Two minutes later, and the scene where they drowned Zhao was also kinda cold
Noooo, I was expecting that you'd upload the final episodes of the show today!
he did but it got taken down
sameeee

Yue's hair turning back to dark when she sacrifices herself was a really awesome touch and i think it would improve the original
List of things I like about this movie that wouldn't work in the original
Zhao just gets straight brutally killed on screen and thats pretty cool.
Anyway those are all my positives for the movie
17:30 I'm still not over Ong's stab-bending master betraying him in this scene. What a heart-wrenching moment.
38:52 That's why a lot of us only watch it in reactions.
Me and my sister regularly quote ‘are you the uhvatar ong?’ Because it’s just too ridiculous not to be iconic
The thing is M. Knight lied to everyone, and said he'd watched the show and fallen in love with it as his kids did.
It’s like they were trying their hardest to be notorious since they knew any efforts in recreating this show in any media will pale in comparison to the og
