Sci-Fi Wire Interview with Cliff Curtis

[star_bolt08]

Hey guys! *waves* I was poking around Sci-Fi Wire today, and I came across this interview with Cliff Curtis, the actor playing Fire Lord Ozai. Here it is: http://scifiwire.com/2009/08/last-airbender-villain-lo.php

It does provide us a little information about Fire Lord Ozai's costume. Curtis described it and said:

"It's sort of like a cross between

Do you have links to pics of the Kyoshi Warriors outfits? Yea, that costume description sounds frightening but I find that when people describe clothing they usually make it sound uglier than it really is.

No... Sorry. As far as I know, they haven't released any of those images yet. D: We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that they won't completely ruin their outfits as well...but if the the other costumes are any indication, they'll probably end up as Greco-Roman Samurai too. Only in green. *headdesk*

It's sort of like a cross between Roman and kind of Greek, [a] gold, Roman and Greek military/samurai military [uniform].

Gotta love those Greco-Roman samurai.

Ugh.

This is actually kind of funny, in a weird way. I once told my dad that the history and relationship between China and Japan reminded me a lot of the history and relationship between Greece and Rome, but I didn't mean it in THAT way. I meant it in the sense that the latter of each example was an imperial power who borrowed and incorporated (or, according to my dad, in the case of Rome, STOLE *cough*) many elements of the former's culture (such as art, mythology, language, etc.) into its own and improved on them. By no means did I even suggest that the samurai were Greek or Roman.

Mr. Shyamalan, just because the two pairs of civilizations were similar does not mean they were identical. Sheesh.

Call a lawyer!!!

M. Night should be sued for impersonating a good director and breach of taste!!!!

They've changed SO much, removing all the "asianness", but why keep the "asian" names?! A little awkward.

[pretty_angel]

Yeah, they could've easily made up a movie on their own.

[mrcab]

Would have been so much better than bastardizing Avatar; pardon.

What if MNight got together with Mike & Bryan to create something new?... uhg... okay, never mind. I'd like to think that was wishful thinking, but it's not.

[pretty_angel]

Exactly.

Sound like Star Wars to me

"It's sort of like a cross between Roman and kind of Greek, [a] gold, Roman and Greek military/samurai military [uniform]."

Well, that fits with the Star Wars-themed costume of Noah Rigner in the teaser trailer... *head-desk*
