Okay it wasn't as bad as people said.I mean I found it to be okay.Obviously the series had a lot of stuff going on and they couldn't add all of them in a movie,because the movie would be like 10 hours long.Still it could be much better.

The Earth Benders were trapped in a prison made of EARTH.

Um technically this was the case in the cartoon as well iirc. They weren't "trapped" so much as repressed but uh yeah-- I remember some earthbenders in some sorta concentration camp in an earthy valley sometime in season 1.

Anyway yeah the movie is pretty bad even forgetting they pretty much got every reference wrong (amazingly-- you'd think they accidentally get more pronunciations right for instance), but it's not the worst thing ever-- it's still better than the Village!

I'm pretty sure the earthbenders were trapped in an offshore iron facility or something and not a valley.

Nope?

They were all arrested and taken to a metal rig at sea too far away from earth to bend. (this was before Toph became the first metal bender)

exactly. The only thing near enough for them to bend was the coal from deep in the smoke stacks that Aang had to bring to them.

That was later in the series and they were literally trapped. Like imprisoned.

I'm talking about like, in season 1, around the time that Jet guy is around (I think?) I'm pretty sure there's an earthbender concentration camp in a valley somewhere.

"Sequel

While there has been much speculation regarding a sequel, no official announcement by Shyamalan or Paramount Studios and Nickelodeon has been made regarding the "go-ahead" or whether the plug will be pulled on the trilogy.[104][105][106] While filming The Last Airbender, Shyamalan mapped out a rough draft for a second film that is "darker" and includes Azula, portrayed by Summer Bishil, as the main antagonist.[104] In a July 2010 interview with New York Magazine, Shyamalan commented "In the next few months we'll be able to know whether we have that opportunity or not" when asked about the sequel.[105] No such announcement was made and in a September 2010 interview when asked if he knew when the sequel will be made, he replied, "I don't, because there are so many factors they take into account", adding, "I guess it will get into an area where it becomes a discussion — like pros and cons."[107]"

Considering it's been a year and a half since he should have known, I'm guessing it's a no. Maybe if we're lucky everyone will forget about it and we'll get a reboot by someone competent.

I liked the thing that the Firebenders can't create Fire.I mean all others need a source right?But Firebenders don't.Okay they create fire because of emotions,especially anger but still.I guess though that is because they were so succesfull to conquer the world.

Oh, maybe it's there too.

Point is I'm not talking about the literal imprisonment in the ship though! There's another part I'm thinking of where they're sort of "soft imprisoned." More because they don't want to bother fighting than anything.

Season 1 Episode 6 is the iron rig where earth benders were held captive. Doing a glance through of season 1 and 2, I don't see any other episodes like that.



I certainly don't recall an episode with a bunch of earrthbenders being held in a valley. The closest is King Bumi being held in his own city where he could break himself out of at any time.

There is also that prision that Zuko goes to, but I don't remember any earthbenders there. But they don't let Zuko firebend when he is there.

Firebenders get their power from their inner core and their breathing, that is why they can create fire. There are so many episodes where this is important, especially in Book 3, that it would be impossible to do if firebenders couldn't create fire.

Yeah but in that case they put him in a metal coffin, which they thought was enough, but he could earthbend with his face anyways.

And the Boiling Rock was earth, yeah... I guess they don't send earthbenders there.

Doesn't everyone hate all of his movies? I mean, excluding like The Sixth Sense (based on an episode of Are You Afraid of The Dark btw) and Signs (which honestly isn't that great, just bearable). Why does he keep making them? Why do people keep funding him? It boggles the mind. He is literally. The. Worst. It's a damn shame he was the one to do The Last Airbender.

Someone I know said that was the scariest movie ever.

I proceeded to laugh at him and never take him seriously again.

The Village was really scary for me as a kid... I was like 13, and I had never seen a movie so bad before. I left the theater thinking so hard, trying to figure out the movie, and it was only months later that I realized it was simply a genuinely terrible movie in every aspect.

Here's the problem.

Firebenders now require those fire ball things to get a source. They are fighting a bunch of water benders who are shooting water everywhere. If one of the water benders had a brain and just started putting out all the fire sources that whole attack would have been over in about 10 minutes.
