What? Even more asian?
The amount of damage M. Night Shyamalan has done to all of us and this franchise is staggering.
what was wrong with the the og voice actor?
>what was wrong with the the og voice actor?
Because they are all fricking WHITE. It's yellowface.
Frick off chinksect filth.
No it isn't. No they aren't
>Because they are all fricking WHITE. It's yellowface.
Here's the creators of the series. They're fricking WHITE. If ATLA is Yellowface, then start with replacing these two chucklefricks no pls replace them
https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Avatar-The-Last-Airbender/japanese-cast/
The Japanese dub of the cartoon has an all Asian cast when it aired in Japan. It's probably the same in the other Asian countries.
It's an American cartoon you fricking homosexual.
Just begging to get (you)'d with
>Americans
>White
For that one
The race of the VA shouldn't matter when it comes to voice acting. What matters more is the performance. It happens all the time. Get the frick over it.
This is a bad property to go with this mindset, too. Avatar wasn't made by Asian people and isn't based on any singular nationality. If wokies didn't like it, they'd call it cultural appropriation.
And the original cast gave great performances, so why aren't they being used now?
>so why aren't they being used now?
Because they're white, which doesn't fit the agenda.
I guess it's possible that not all of them wanted to come back. But I know Toph's VA is just as gung-ho about the series as Dante Basco is and Korra's actress, they do a podcast together about the franchise. I believe Jack DeSena is also involved with it sometimes. I don't know about Mae Whitman. And I think the kid who played Aang ditched acting entirely after the show ended, but I'm not sure. There's no good excuse or reason for this, but my interest is basically gone.
>they do a podcast together about the franchise.
How many conversations can you have about a finished TV series?
because there's a timeskip of 15~20 years. I get that the /misc/tards crying about "being replaced" are underage but even they should know someone sounds different at 25 than they did at 10.
How dumb are you to not realize that would support them coming back? Do you think the original actors stumbled on an anti-aging formula?
There's been a 16 year timeskip in real life you dumb israelite.
What fountain of youth have the OG VA's been on if they are still teenagers today?
>Get the frick over it.
By not watching? No whitey no watchy. oops idc about twitter lore arguments.
original VA was a israelite
It's sociologically interesting how obvious this should be and yet how and why the establishment controlled mainstream pretends otherwise. It's obviously for anti-white purposes - race neutral meritocracy would give out "too many" jobs to whites. But I think only israelites at the top have a genuine hatred for whites to level of suppressing them, even if no one else would care in the end product, is its own goal and worthy of some strained public lie. The rest, like blacks, I think are just petty zero sum racial territory warriors that are also happy to participate in the absurd idea, so long as they know it means more guaranteed slots for them - frick whitey.
But she's not 12, blue eyed, or have magical bending powers. This is not accurate casting.
>she's not 12
Agreed, this is very ageist. Putting on a young voice is problematic.
I think the characters are now in their 20s in the new cartoon movie.
Blind her before someone gets offended
She is blind chud.
Her lived experience as a blind person will come through in her voice acting.
Also blind people have better mouth feel because their sense of hearing is hdightened, so
Zoom zoom cant read
>they went out of their way to find a blind woman to play Toph
Actually fricking howling, that's incredible
To be fair, they didn't have to look hard. She's worked on a bunch of Nick cartoons in the past.
oh wow yeah she is Trixie Tang, that's cool
>they didn't have to look hard
neither did she
All interest is completely gone. They shot their own feet off from the get go.
"so what did you think of Toph when you saw the original show?"
>Zuko's voice actor's face isn't disfigured
boycotting this problematic trash
>Nickelodeon executives holding Basco down and pouring boiling oil on his eye for the sake of representation
>am sorry son, it's part of the tradition
delete this
no
FLAME'D
what the frick why...? the og voice actress actually sounds as adult Toph since she is now adult herself
Plus they already casted Saber's english dub VA as Toph in Korra
california and its consequnces were a disaster for art world wide
kek that's moronic
but the show will be based on the shit comics anyway so who cares
She was great as Trixie
>i cant harrass her on social media because she is blind
Frick this
Are they going to now cast crippled to play crippled?
I'm waiting for them to cast Joe Biden to play Bumi
qt
AWOOOOGA
Good. But fricking why is no one else returning? They are all adults now. This makes no sense and has immediately killed this project.
>immediately killed this project.
They dont care about you. This is literally not for you, neither is it for anybody who is an actual fan of the series. Nothing is ever made for people who are already fans - not anymore. It's all just for twitter traction, producer name recognition, and to sell subscriptions to streaming services that people will hopefully forget they're being billed for.
It's literally because of their ethnicity. This was confirmed years ago when casting calls went out only looking for Asian and Indigenous actors: https://avatarnews.co/post/704558418517770240/dante-basco-will-return-to-voice-fire-lord-zuko-as
Because everything is being destroyed and regressed due to the politics of all the commies and brown people that have invaded everything whites have made
Anyone who doesn't agree is on their side.
Most human beings are not intelligent enough to understand shit. They actually go around thinking shit like blacks really are equal.
dante basco is such a fricking treasure, holy shit.
By treasure you mean asian
out of the main cast the best was either him or azula. so if we could only get one, I’ll take him
he's so chill and genuinely grateful for his successes. if anyone ever came forward with negative allegations or scandal against him, i would be genuinely surprised. i got to meet him at a con once and he's so fricking wholesome.
>Basco will be the only original va to be associated with this abomination.
Poor guy, but I guess a paycheck is a paycheck.
To be fair it’s extremely unlikely this is Brykes doing and more so paramount upper management, since companies are given massive benefits from the federal government to hire minorities. It’s just the way the industry is moving.
>Korean voicing a Tibetan-inspired character
>Siblings VA's don't even have the same race and one them is a Flip judging by his name
Ethnically accurate my fricking ass. Do these morons not realize how fricking racist it is that they're just lumping all Asians into one and treating all of them as replaceable with one another?
can't wait for AI to replace all voice actors tbh
It's racist to replace the white actors.
Is Ehasz working on the movie? because I'm not interested if he's not.
What the actual frick. I usually don't engage in this bullshit, but this time they've unironically gone too far and shot themselves in the feet. The entire VA cast of Avatar did a splendid job and their voices are permanently welded to the characters in the collective unconscious of the viewers, to have anybody else is a disservice to whatever pile of shit it is they're producing
After seeing more and more of your guys comments, they probably should have brought back the original cast members to reprise their roles.
Fans care more about consistency than racial virtue signaling. Zuko's announcement has far and away the most engagement on Twitter specifically because he's the only reprisal.
>the OG voice actors will be redubbed soon and all traces of them burned out of existence
>watch indian movie
>even more stereotype sounding voices than hank azaria
lel
that literally hasn't happened, stop imagining things for you to hate
Good.
Erase all traces of cumskins from existence
season 1 of Korra was decent, on par with some of the weaker episodes of the original show.
Original>KorraS1
later seasons>>>>>>>>>all the remakes
season 3 korra was the only good season
It wasn't good.
couldn't make it past first few episodes of season 2, shit got way too stupid and boring
meant for
>a israelite is doing an impression of a white person doing an impression of an indian
>whites are at fault
yeah i do actually see the insidiousness of racism now i’m happy this guy opened my eyes
maybe i’ll buy him a toilet as thanks
They should create Indian characters that are authentic to actual Indian culture, but then people would be grossed out by the dead bodies in the Ganges river, public streets used as restrooms, insane air pollution, mountains of garbage, worship of cows and consuming cow dung and urine, etc.
I know the movie isn’t going to be as good as the show but one of the things I was looking forward to was having the entire og cast back. They even united all together for the first time last year at some con which I considered to be a hint they would return for the movie but I guess not. The actors probably believed so too, only to get rug pulled.
>Azula without Grey's voice
What's even the point? She was the reason why the character was good.
>FINE, I'll wear this shit and give you your sound bites, but we're gonna talk about the movie soon, right?
>Right?
>Toph best girl
>Michaela (Toph's VA) best girl as well
She's a fricking dime too
Who voiced the elder Toph in Legend of Korra? Was it still the same VA?
Random anime dubber for adult, Days of Our Lives granny for granny.
Zamn, Melon lord looks like that?
They're just digging them up to piss on their corpses one last time for good measure.
The real question: Why not reboot Korra after such a disaster that turned out to be?
I bet they wish they could recast the two dorky White chuds that created the whole show
because no matter how many millions they spend on their attempts, it will never even come close to the original
to be fair, they weren't able to come close either
fun fact: the word chud is actually mentioned twice in the Avatar official wiki page
It's a movie review site so it's probably on a few wiki pages.
they are the self-hating racists who started this bullshit
>large eyed character
>cast slit eyed bugman
This franchise has been raped so bad, why do they continue to make more of this shit? The OG cartoon is all that's needed.
This is the same autism that encroached the live action. Avatar is not a bastion Asian representation. It was literally made by 2 white dudes. It’s a fantasy world with Asian elements. You wanna know a character that was explicitly Asian? Fricking Jeong Jeong. Accent and all.
bryke are also two self-hating dudes tbqh
this.
it's literally two white guys who watched some Studio Ghibli and some kung fu flicks and made an American anime.
If they gave a frick about Asian authenticity they'd focus on real Asian stories, the only reason they keep devouring and reshitting this show is because of how popular it was and nobody gives a frick about real Asian stuff.
reminder that the chinese 5 elements are wood, earth, void, metal and fire. the 4 elements in avatar are based on platos greek elements. 'asian themes' my ass. im some schizo who made a cursory glance at asian religion and culture and I know more about it than those twats.
im still surprised ive never seen any 'the last woodbender' jokes
>schizos
Nah they are coomers. It's why every female of note is default gay in their eyes.
if being a coomer is wrong dont even tell me whats right
What am i going to post you know, at that point. An image. Maybe we can have a laugh about it.
I think everything's been said about avatar. Let's not pretend that this oldass cartoon hasn't been discussed every single day of the last 15 years. All the tears have been shed and all the fingers have been pointed. We're out fingers.
As if anything new could be said about it, as if there were people here who weren't familiar with the last airbender subject and context. If you aren't then ask your answer because that would be a change of pace.
>We're out fingers.
GOOD MORNING SIRS!
Yeah, probably.
>I think everything's been said about avatar.
It did. The story ended on a perfect note and didn't need anymore sequels or reboots or whatever. It's fricking annoying how we can't seem to leave things the way they are. It's indicative of massive narcissism.
>It did. The story ended on a perfect note
Except the massive cliff hanger about Zuko's Mom and Azula's sanity that never got a conclusion (the comics fricking suck ass and don't count). The two showrunners wanted a S4 and had a script ready but Nick told them to go frick themselves and make S1 Korra instead.
My god who cares about zuko's mom my god fricking shit of frick god who cares it's fffuucckkk
>my god who cares about zuko's mom
a lot of the fanbase seemed to be focused with that
it even got referenced in the first episode of whorra
soon you will wish for it to for ever remain unanswered
i mean there was this comic where zuko knocked her up but it doesnt show the process and that left me a bit unhappy
Grey is getting old..
>i mean there was this comic where zuko knocked her up but it doesnt show the process and that left me a bit unhappy
Rising heat by Aarokira
thank me later, after washing your hands
>Rising heat by Aarokira
high taste
>Rising Heat
I prefer Aarokira's work, really.
Although I dont understand why he left his Sokka x Katara comic discontinued after 3 pages.
Th-thank you anon.
I needed a good fap for my soul after these last few weeks.
ok? and?
These are the same people who make everyone black in live action adaptations
>Resident Evil , black Wesker
>Death Note, black L
>Cowboy Bebop, black Black
They say race shouldn't matter, until it is time to push a diversity agenda and change the unseen voice actors of all people.
It's the fans of avatar who became hyperfocused on the ethnicities of each nation in the first place so these casting choices are half trying to please the fans, half what you said. The Airbender is in an interesting situation because on one hand the message was already kind of liberal-style so in the new zeitgeist it became supercharged.
On the other hand, the cannon became bend out of shape after too much fan discussion so TLA has entered into a paradox and if they acquiesce to the fandom's vision of the cartoon then it'll automatically be an unfaithful adaptation.
>“ethnically accurate”
All the ethnicities in Avatar are made up bullshit. Katara and Sokka are eskimos who look like sikhs and they're somehow related to cajun swamp folk.
Like is Aang supposed to be asian? He's pale, he's got European eyes and he was voiced by a white dude; but his character's origin is clearly influenced by Chinese Shaolin monks so you recast his voice actor with a Korean? How does that make sense?
I legitimately wouldn’t have a single problem with this if Hamilton were also seen as a problem. At least be consistent if you want us all to be segregated Christ alive.
Hamilton's subtext is that white people need to go the way of the dodo, you should never have praised it because it was never in good faith
Did these liberal cucks really cast a fricking blind woman as Toph?
>here Dionne here's the script so for your first scene if you
>nevermind
Braille is thing, you know.
What's next? Actual lesbians to play Korra and Asami? The voice actors have to bend in real life?
>What's next? Actual lesbians to play Korra and Asami?
I hope they are attractive and kiss each other.
Asami voice actress was good looking. She's only part Mexican though, so I don't know if that's enough brown to keep her in.
Ah fantasy, cartoons. The realms of imagination. Where the impossible is possible. BETTER RESTRICT THE VAS TO BE ASIAN AND ALSO BLIND BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THE LOVABLE CHARACTERS WE KNOW AND LOVE ARE - RACE, ETHNICITY, LEVELS OF QUEERNESS, AND DISABILITY
I can't stop laughing over how they got a blind woman to voice Toph
>getting Carl and Apu'd
The Netflix show and casting was actually good.
This is so funny. All of the elite childrens cartoon purists were shilling for this against the Netflix show and it already seems like it's going to be complete shit.
>the show was bad because the OG writers left!
The OG writers that produced the Legend of Korra before woke was cool.
I don't think you understand what you wrote and neither do i but i get the idea you just want to post pictures of 3D girls so go ahead.
This reminds me of when ProZD made a big fuss about representation and then got mad when it meant he was locked out of voicing white characters
lock him out of skinny characters too
i dont get it. its a remake? a sequel? im not gonna read the whole thread to find out either
sequel to the original series while potentially linking to the terrible spin-off since bryke keep on insisting that korra, the most expensive fanfic ever was secretly good
It's like they have all the window dressing for a good series but they lack basic soul
QUICK MORE TOKEN GESTURES THAT DON'T ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING
THAT'S HOW YA WRITE A SCRIPT
I scrolled through Youtube and saw a video clip from a movie where a white incompetent cop is reprimanded by a lady black copy. The next clip had a young black boy be accosted by a white woman who calls the cops on him for selling lemonade.
Can they recast Bryke? I don't like this problematic power dynamic of the creators of the series being white
Dante Basco is a flip though
Is Josh Luna unironically right?
KONICHIWA DUDE
I thinking I’m beginning to understand why blacks hate Asians so much.
Jesus fricking christ. Stop raping avatar. What the frick. What the frick is their fricking obsession with Avatar in particular? Frick. When will it fricking end? Is it because they accidentally made something good for once, so now they're desperately trying to undo it? Is that what it is?
chinked and c**t-eye pilled!
They're making ANOTHER movie? Hang All of Hollywood
>animated ATLA movie
What? this is the first I've heard about this.
>It's ok when Asians do it
There isn't enough diversity in this show. Where are the people of color?
>draws white characters
>call them asians
uh
So are they going to ignore the comics or not?
Race is a social construct though? How do they know actors races from pics alone?
Never forget how much society hates you white folks, never forget
white people aren't a thing
>recast to be “ethnically accurate”
ok, so the movie is going to be shit then
The Last Slopbender
>Eric "Viet" Nam recast as the Chairbender
Based.
