Why do we make the distinction on who is a Native American based the entire geography of a whole ass continent that was connected to another hole ass continent. at that point you can just cast a Polynesian. Then what’s stopping you from casting a Chinese? Then an Indian? Then a Persian? Then a Greek? Then a Italian? Then a franc? Then an Anglo?
They’re all connected geographically and culturally during some point in time.

Korra and Adventure Time destroyed western cartoons forever. Nothing has been the same ever since. But these things wouldn't be possible with their predecessors ATLA and Flapjack. So I blame them too.
Can't wait for the show to drop so that everyone can remember how bad ATLA actually is. Nostalgia blinds a lot of you but the show doesn't hold up on rewatch. It's a show that's painfully made for kids with 70% of its episodes being filler. The best episode was Bitter Work and that was mainly because it tried to develop the magic system.
>Nostalgia blinds a lot of you
It's not great at all. The music and aesthetics carry the entire show which makes me feel, but when I actually watch the events I kept finding holes and other dumb shit. They fired Filoni and the other dumb writers of season 1, but 2 and 3 still had the same problems: characters going on long journeys that actually don't advance the plot or really develop said character. They literally waited until the season 3 finale to finally start developing Azula beyond villain of the week. Something as basic as telling us what she actually thinks of her friends and her mother was an afterthought.

This. Korra was actually an improvement but fanboys will NEVER admit It.
Why didn't they just get Mae Whitman back? This is going to be guaranteed shit anyway but recasting the actress is moronic. I understand she's older but the original VA is an adult anyway
This racially accurate VA casting virtue signal shit is also moronic. >Shit she's an Inuit where do we find one of them? Just get an indian who sounds white and give them the role they're indigenous it counts
It's like when Disney made Moana which is a movie about pacific islanders, said how important it was to hire a Polynesian actress, then just hired some American Hawaiian girl that sounds white
I didn't say she wasn't but I understand you're too busy gooning to the webms of her you have saved on your computer to read my post properly, I said she was Hawaiian you fricking moron.
My point is that they wanted "racially accurate casting" for a pacific islander but still get the whitest sounding American Polynesian they can get away with
>said how important it was to hire a Polynesian actress, then just hired some American Hawaiian girl
Do you not know Hawaiians are Polynesian, anon? Because Hawaiians are Polynesian.
Yeah doesn’t really clear it up. You said they wanted a Pacific Islander, and they hired one. Is your issue that she has an American accent? Because they were always going to go with that, they didn’t make the Rock change his either.
Honestly it really just sounds like you thought Hawaiians didn’t count as Polynesian and tried to backpeddle. kinda embarrassing
Sounds like you're purposely misinterpreting my post because you want to frick the actress or something. I specified Hawaiian because it's part of the US. My point is that they just want the whitest sounding girl that checks a box which makes casting based on race completely redundant. They don't want a native Maori or Samoan because they don't sound white or American enough, they want someone who sounds like they're from California and only racegate the role for diversity points
Yeah they cast a young Polynesian girl to play a young Polynesian girl, pretty wild. She even looks like the character. If your issue is that she didn’t “sound” Polynesian well then you should be mad that she’s speaking English, not that they cast a Hawaiian.

Why does it have the (26) after Katara instead of after Matten, are they aging Katara up, god that would be based no more highly combat capable teenagers
I feel moronic having posted this because the image in OP clearly says adult Katara
I hope we get to see sokkas sword actually slice somebody, but even if they could they probably won't because it's funnier to the people making this to chuck the male out of doing anything
Because the show runners have a weird fetish for making everyone gay or super PC. Expect to see Katara refuse to marry Aang until she’s 30’or some shit. Also Toph and Sokka can’t happen because they have a 4 year age gap, which is basically pedophilia
No Ehasz + bridging the gap between the ATLA and korra mean the story/writing is guaranteed to be shit anyway so I could hardly care about whatever woke shit they're going to insert. But the art is fricking disgusting, the original was such a beautiful show. With this and the Netflix shit that looks even worse it's amazing Korra will turn out to be the thing that capture the spirit of original best despite how much it raped the setting and lore
Korra was kind of great lore wise because it shows that Aang was actually a terrible avatar since he let the fire nation keep its colonies even though it went against the concept of balance, all because he was super butthurt about muh air bender genocide.
>Korra was kind of great lore wise
No it wasn't. They took the eastern setting and turned it into a Westernized Christianized one. I'm aware republic city was loosely based off Hong Kong but they have New York accents and clearly leaned into that vibe heavily, they built all four arcs around opponents to their newfound industrial capitalist way of life turning out to be frauds, including the anti colonist strawman in season 2 which is the worst offender because they used it to christianize the lore by adding a dark avatar. It's no longer an eastern myth about balance it's a western one about God vs Satan. They took a fantasy eastern setting, industrialized it, and used it as a soiboys thesis for why neoliberalism always wins (it's because everyone else is a selfish fraud who just wants power)
>But they gave Aang some nuance
Sure that was cool, I liked how they showed he was kind of neglectful of his non airbender kids because he was so obsessed with rebuilding his culture. That does not makes the lore "great" because they still subverted it into something fundamentally different that has nothing to do with the originals setting or it's themes. They wanted a cool fantasy early 20th century new york cartoon and just used Avatar to do it

You overthink stuff, it was just New York on the 50s bro.
>Korra was kind of great lore wise >The avatar is a ghost carpet instead of the reincarnation of the Earth's spirit >Ancient asiatic-like setting turned into an industrialized New York in less than a century
You're an unironic moron.
Azula was getting development as early as season 2. This is a blatant lie or you are moronic.
Azula wasn't a bad character she was just a bad villain. Her mom was the worst character in the show by far >ignores daughter, displays blatant favoritism towards son >never even tells her that she loves her >abandons her family (including her daughter) to ensure that zuko survives >somehow we are supposed to believe that Azula was just a bad seed and that her precious mother had no part in her 14 year old daughter's mental problems
The comics just made this worse since she apparently just fricked off to live with another lover (and also refused to truly reconcile with Azula.)
Because the show runners have a weird fetish for making everyone gay or super PC. Expect to see Katara refuse to marry Aang until she’s 30’or some shit. Also Toph and Sokka can’t happen because they have a 4 year age gap, which is basically pedophilia
How could there possibly be any drama for an adult Gaang? They have the most powerful guy in the world who has mastered all of the shit there is to master. Is it just going to be a SoL?
>Canadian-Indigenous
No.
1. no humans are indigenous to Canada, every is an immigrant or descended from one. You mean "Aboriginal".
2. If she has a Canadian passport and a Swiss passport, I guess she could call herself Canadian-Swiss. But Canadian-Aboriginal? lolno. You are Canadian.
3. Good for her, hope they pay well.
okay but theres a difference between migration from 15000 years ago over the bering strait and human migration from 500 years ago fricktard
unless you want to say everybody outside of africa can't call themselves native
I thought there were in flashbacks? I could've sworn a few of the avatar statues had female monks.
There are female airbending monks, yes. In TLA, Aang talks with various past incarnations to help him decide how and whether he should take the Firelord's life. One of them was Avatar Yangchen, who was a female avatar raised originally as an airnomad, and she mentions that her's and Aangs scriptures and traditions are the same, and goes on to mention how air nomads do detach themselves from material pleasures to achieve spiritual enlightenment (and also that the Avatar is prevented from doing so, being cursed with never achieving enlightenment as his duty is to preserve the balance of his world).
>group of people based on real life monks who have forsaken worldly pleasures like romance of any kind to achieve spiritual enlightenment >nah dude they're totally gay af and they're all pro free love at any time
I really don't get it, how can the writers be THIS moronic with their own series.
>you have to cast Asians for the live action series because it's ethnically accurate
>here's a feather Indian to play the Eskimo
?
New favorite Native waif. Most Amber Midthunder despite being 11 years older than her.
Eskimos are literally Native Americans
She really is, isn't she?
Cowboys got to come home to this every night.
Yeah
Would sniffing her braps be like desecrating an indian burial ground or would it be ok?
I chop wood for she
>Eskimos are literally Native Americans
That's like casting a Scandinavian as the King of Spain since they're European.
brown tiddy.
> Eskimos are literally Native Americans

>progressives: white roles for whites only!
huh?
They never said that, in fact it's the opposite.
The ironic part is Katara's original voice actress just played another brown girl in the Skull Island show for Netflix
She's too good looking for voice acting

This basically already happened with Korra. Some coped, some didn't.

I rewatched it a year ago. It was still great.
This new show though... who gives a frick? We already know where the gaang ends.

No, Korra is a dumb kids show too, just with worse characters and mandchild pandering. Honestly avatar fans are only slightly better than bronies.
Korra was absolute garbage, both as character as well as series.
Thought it was Sasha Grey from the picture.

I don’t know how you heard basic white girl from Moana, she has a very exaggerated pidgin accent. I actually found it annoying.

Korra should be recast as a dead b***h honestly
rude.
Why does it have the (26) after Katara instead of after Matten, are they aging Katara up, god that would be based no more highly combat capable teenagers
Yeah a show about the adult gaang would be great. Would love to see how Sokka and Toph eventuallly get together
After seeing how awful Korra was I would rather they just leave this franchise alone.
I think Katara's age is a rumor but they are having adult Gaang as per an image leak
I feel moronic having posted this because the image in OP clearly says adult Katara
I hope we get to see sokkas sword actually slice somebody, but even if they could they probably won't because it's funnier to the people making this to chuck the male out of doing anything

They had to double down to avoid the obvious criticism of Korrasami being a last ditch effort to garner some views/publicity for their failing show.
