The only way for the Last Airbender to redeem it self as a movie franchise is to replace M.Night and learn from its mistakes such as don't make it look like a 2 hour summary of the cartoon, and don't force the relationships.(or preferably don't do another movie at all). but then again its ****ing hollywood.

Forgot about that. Would rather it show how she learns the elements instead of having them all, nut I guess it'd be a repeat of what Aang went through. Think it has a more serious tone as well? Traded humour for action, could work.

YouTube video

Do like :V

Movie Firebenders you mean.

I hope they keep the original's mix of humour and action. Less humour and more action wouldn't necessarily be a better thing in my opinion.

Should be interesting to see this new 'modern' setting of theirs.

From the looks of it, it will probably still have a balance of humor and action.

I mean, that is a trailer. Not like they're going to throw jokes at us.

Series Sokka > Movie Fire Nation~... Really, really want to see old man Sokka o:

Doubt it'll be as humourous. Korra is has a more mature personalty than Aang, and her gang don't look like as cheery as the AangGang. ''Has a sense of humor'' is the most comical thing Ive seen on a persons bio.

Yeah Im not getting that. How did it get to that from this in only 70 years?

A lot can change in 70 years. Benders likely have more potential than us so that helps.

Korra is so smexy. Too bad I have to wait till 2012. 🙁

So what ? Like I just said they still stopped the blight a year in so this was definitely in the cards. You act as if ferelden was engulfed in 20 years of darkness. Imagine if he had joined the fight and the combined army lost. Just imagine that. Yes, the losses at ostagar hurt but they were still able to achieve victory so don't act like Loghain cost them anything. He was right they could still stop the darkspawn which they eventually did.

facepalm The Blight was stopped that fast because of the Warden you dunce. Without them, yes it would have been 20 years of darkness. At the battle with Denerim the army was outnumbered 3 to 1 and the city was already overrun. And the Wardens army was 3 times bigger than Loghains. They had the Dwarves, the Dalish and Redcliff on their side and they were still losing. There is absolutely no way Loghain could have won that fight.

Yes, I am imagining if he joined the fighting. HE WOULD HAVE LOST. He would not be able to achieve victory at all. Even if he could stop teh Horde he still would have lost because, unknowing or not, he would have doomed Fereldan by wiping out the Grey Wardens. I don't care if he knew or not, directly because of his actions Fereldan would have fallen.

Loghain wasn't privy to the very reason of why the wardens were even necessary so how can you fault him ? Who doesn't oppose their enemies head on in a war like situation. I can't fault him for doing so when he wasn't aware of their necessity.

At the landsmeet all the forces were combined and yes like in every game the hero's actions greatly impact prevailing over the enemy so why are you punishing Loghain here when you know full well the hero was needed whether Loghain was on his side or not. Loghain can become a grey warden and joins himself honorably to the cause if the player so chooses so don't act like Loghain is so crazy and paranoid he can't change his mind and in the end become a grey warden and possibly kill the archdemon himself.

Yes, the hero's actions are pivotal like in every game and despite Loghain opposing you when they all possibly unite or kill Loghain dependent on the choice of the player you still prevail one year in.

His actions almost doomed Fereldan and perhaps the entire world. Of course I blame him. And what the flying squirrel are you smoking? They weren't enemies. THEY WERE ON THE SAME SIDE. And he didn't face them head on in a war like situation, he betrayed them while they fought to protect his country, because he was a lunatic.

I have no idea what you're getting at here. Loghain isn't culpable for his actions because he wasn't the hero? Well no shit, he's the villian. Him being the villain doesn't excuse his actions. Because of his bad decisions and lunacy he almost doomed his country. He tried to kill the Warden.

Looking back at that giant drill, guess they've just put any time into revamping their houses.

Would rather it be a longer series too.

Meh, we'll see. Though a character having a sense of humour will not be the only source of humour in the show. Granted, I don't think these new characters will top people like Sokka and Toph, but as long as they're done well, the show should be good.

It helps that Republic City was formed with help from the Fire Nation, which was pretty technologically advanced when Aang was around.

Hopefully. It is made by the same team after all I think. Maybe some of the other writers might have left, but the creators are still there.

Either way it doesn't look like it will disappoint.

Polar Bear Dogs are cool enough for me to watch no matter what.

I was expecting for it to suck. Wish freaking granted I guess. Looking back though...It is still garbage.

But it doesn't make sense in the context of the story. And no, not really. Iroh is pretty much the strongest fire bender in the series. Ozai might be stronger but I'm not sure.

Of course. Because, and this will shock you, all those movies are better than Airbender. Twilight movies included. Yeah, I went there.

Well I came.

Looks much more like anime than the original. Not a bad thing I guess.

Oh I didn't know Iroh is the strongest but he seemed rather gifted and scared the crap out of the other firebenders when he created it out of nothing.

I liked this better than any twilight movie but enjoy that they all exist so I can compare them to each other in versus battles. In the end I need a variety to satisfy my insatiable vs. desires.

Uhm, Loghain wasn't once again privy to the information that you needed a grey warden so of course this plan to eliminate the archdemon would have failed. My point was with this information and with the decisions he made you can still eliminate the archdemon but can't fault him because 99 percent of the world outside the grey wardens don't know how significant the grey wardens are.

He wasn't a lunatic. Where are you pulling this from ? He was still well respected and still becomes a badass grey warden knowing full well what he has to do with this new knowledge. Condemning a man for his actions when he wasn't aware of the secret is silly and the man was still a hero and highly respected throughout ferelden despite him losing and falling in as a grey warden per the hero.

He's far better than that whiny Alistair and unlike him he knows what needs to be done and doesn't cry about it once he's aware. Alistair was crying about responsibility throughout the entire game pretty much.

Again your entire rant is attacking him for not knowing why the wardens are needed. The man is great who makes difficult decisions in difficult times. Bottom line.

On the norm, the benders would destroy the Twilight vamps. But the movie benders are much weaker than them sadly enough.

I had thought Ozai was supposed to be the strongest. But I pretty much based that entirely on his ability to fly.

Iroh is s smidgen weaker then Ozai for being Aang's backup if he failed to beat him imo.

Iroh could redirect lightning, something that would have ended Ozai had Aang maned up for a second.

In an all out war from the movie benders including the avatar against all twilight vamps and wolves from the movies who would you favor ?

Considering Alice is gonna see it coming and Alec is a haxxed sob, the vampires. Doesn't help that the Avatar in the movies is a failure.

I loved that freaking dragons advice: To fight the Firebenders, use water!

Movie gais probable have way more combatants. Crush it with rocks then burn it with fire.

Edit: May be my eyes but the combat in the new Avatar clip looks like some fight scenes in Naruto.

Twivamps would stomp the Avatarverse. They're too strong, fast and durable.

I dunno I see the the combined nations here as being too much for the vamps and wolves.
