I recast everyone OLDER, (because it's very difficult for me to go searching for child stars, in an ideal world it would all have been auditions etc, but since this is just fancy.... I don't know any native american actors, so if you have suggestions in that department, feel free to comment.)

But as you said, it was his idea to do the movie, and for some reason, everyone went along with it. At this point I'm just grateful he wasn't able to get his hands on Lord of the Rings. Goodness knows how atrocious that would have been.

MNS cast indian actors for the Fire nation? What? I really need to get a copy of the movie and watch it. I haven't because I've been busy with licensure exams, but I will soon.
MNS on Lord of the Rings... bwahahaha. He should stick to dark, thrillers. Avatar is not dark. Is not a thriller, and is not marketed for adults. He's completely out of his league.
And whenever someone criticizes him he goes: well it's making money in Europe. Right. Ugh.
I just watched the trailer and looked at all the bad acting and thought: What the heck was MNS thinking when he said he cast the best actors for the roles? They can't act!!!

My mistake. There aren't as many as I thought. The actor who played Ozai is actually Maori. Either way, most of the casting choices were just wrong.
Completely out of his league is a perfect description of MNS for this movie.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents in it and hopefully they won't greenlight a sequel so we won't have to play actor bingo again.

Yes. exactly. It's a what if and not a proper job :)
I'm more into Dev Patel as a Jet rather than Dev Patel as Sokka, primarily because I don't think Dev Patel could be that much of a slapstick comedy guy haha, not that it showed much in the film anyway.
To have a successful film, the first job order must be to changed M.Night S. haha, if they change him, I'm sure everything will become better.
Yeah that was my problem with Chinese actors too, it's difficult to find teenagers. Of course Taylor Lautner could play one of the water tribe, but honestly, not entirely a fan of the twilight cast. haha. Too dark and gloomy for the Avatar cast. Well he could try spreading his wings here tho. Oh and as a saving grace for Twilight cast (blerg, ewww, and I'm sorry if you like it), all the guys who play wolves are required to show paperwork that they belong to a Native American tribe.
Thanks for your two cents.
