Jackson Rathbone and Nicola Peltz at the KCA

[t0rtu3]

Got these off a post in AvatarSpirit. Nickelodeon is now showing ads promoting the KCA, with Jackson Rathbone and Nicola Peltz doing some slime-bending. It's also possible that Dev Patel will make an appearance at Kid's Choice. Anyway the interesting bit is the new screen from the advert

I feel kinda insulted by the fake Asian characters. It's like, that's what the Asian language looks like to you? Complete gibberish? Like it doesn't have an internal logic and coherence (that just happens to be different from the internal logic and coherence of the English language)?

Why are they having such trouble with people's names? Duh, clearly didn't watch the original show...

Cue people saying it looks just like the show!

The nice thing about the Chinese Hanzi that was used in the show was that hanzi was adopted into the Japanese (kanji), Korean (hanja), and other Asian writing systems.

And what is great is that if you could read Chinese...IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING READABLE! -,-;

Oh agreed, I think being insulted is the proper reaction! Clearly they wanted another excuse to distance themselves from the fact that this is set in a fantasy Asia since they didn't cast that way... but this is such a slap in the face. It actually seems more difficult for them to come up with this cheap knockoff than just hire someone who can write in a real language. But I guess they wanted to bastardize everything in this movie into some generic world with no respect for the actual cultures it was derived from. :/
