더 많이 than anything, this puts to 질문 whether all the noise that this racist vs. not racist 토론 has that big a following, 또는 is it one of those cases where a few outspoken 팬 overreact and get 더 많이 people riled up in the process. Adding their voice to the cause, however, both the animatic editor and the cultural consultant of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series have both expressed disappointment with the casting decisions, perhaps revealing that there is something 더 많이 to this outcry than just plain 팬 overreaction.
After all, 아바타 creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko have categorically stated that, "We knew that Nickelodeon was looking for a kind of show, so we kind of took that directive and set about creating our own mythology. And we wanted to base it in Asian rather than European background."
Just to get 당신 up to speed, Avatar: The Last Airbender was an Emmy-winning animated series that aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons, with Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan was tasked to direct its live-action film adaptation.
For all intents and purposes, Avatar: The Last Airbender was predominantly influenced 의해 several Asian cultures, so casting a bunch of Caucasian actors to play most of the characters understandably raised a furor with fans. Noah Ringer was cast as Aang, Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire fame as Zuko, The Twilight Saga: New Moon's Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, and Nicola Peltz as Katara.
The first The Last Airbender trailer had everyone's panties up in a bunch (either in a good way 또는 bad way), so understandably, people are hoping for the 다음 one to air, as promised, this December. Unfortunately, producer Frank Marshall said, it will be a little delayed.
