I've been spending years trying to convince people that this movie does not exist. now you know why

Maple: "I wanna talk to the people who are also upset about this." Go outside and walk up to the FIRST PERSON YOU SEE. CONGRATS, YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED YOUR GOAL.

"the monks named me Ong" "no they fucking didn't" 😂😂

"This movie is not biblically accurate" is the best description for this movie 😂

Movie: “He’s firebending out of nothing!” Mapel: “That is how firebending works” 😂😂😂

You know a movie is bad when everyone says it's bad, and it still doesn't temper how bad it actually is.

My favourite bit is when the moon spirit is dead and Iroh in the show says that “she’s been touched by the moon spirit” and that’s it. Then she comes to the decision to give up her own life on her own. In this Iroh just straight up say “yeah you need to kill yourself”

34:15 with Arianna angrily sunk into the chair and Maple's "I'm gonna disassociate" had me dying. You two really felt all the anger and overwhelming disappointment we all did. Now you understand why this movie "doesn't exist" if you ever try to talk to an ATLA fan about it. There is no movie in Ba Sing Se. Here we are safe. Here we are free.

Perfect quote from maple. "I can't believe they did this to me". We all feel it lol

Maple's pure disgust at the outdoor dirt sweeping cracked me up

Watching this was so cathartic. Imagine seeing this in the theaters opening day, no warning that you were about to watch the most horrific adaptation in cinema history.

To the film's very little credit, the actors for Zhao, Zuko, and Iroh seem like they're trying to turn in a good performance compared to everyone else's school-play-level acting. Plus, the actress for Yue later became the voice of Asami in "The Legend of Korra", so there's a redemption arc for ya.

Between Maple's hilarious roasts and Arianna's distorted faces I have to say this is my favorite reaction to this turd on youtube

Y’all are so brave for watching this 😂

“I can feel your anger, it gives you focus... makes you strong.”

There are scenes in this where the actors were so obviously uncomfortable with the scene, it just hurt to watch.

1:32 "I wonder how they're gonna make Sokka funny and not make it lame" - well they go in the exact opposite direction... ...make him not funny but make it lame. 😂😂🤣🤣

I can totally see Arianna sitting in the movie theater, arms folded and sour-faced the whole time.😂😂😂 Edit: Whoa. This vid keeps on giving. These comments are GOLD!!!

HELP i can't breathe LOL The intro "are we gonna say It?" just set the tone of the whole reaction and i'm dying.

M. Night's career was never the same after making this film.... A small penance for the way he changed the lives of every fan that saw it. 😢

As I watched them become fans of the animated series, i just think Arianna and Maple are so so brave for sitting through this and feeling all of our feels all over again for us. Thank you so much Diegesis for getting this so right.

‘The monks named me Ong..’ “No they didn’t. No they didn’t..”🤣

I will never watch this abomination from start to finish but their reactions alone must be enough to warrant a view!

"My name is katara. I'm the only waterbender left in the southern water tribe. I collect rocks, am lactose intolerant, and my blood type is B-. I'm escorting the avatar around and he is learning the elements. You are an antagonist. "

Right from “Who’s gonna say it? Are you gonna say it?”, I knew this was gonna be a banger 😂

Iroh just stands there and listening to Zhao's plan of shanking the moon spirit and then attempts to act mad when he did what he said he was gonna do lmao

This movie is still holds the funniest moment in my life. I remember My girlfriend and I were fans of the show, and we did the whole double date thing with our mutual friend who never watched the show and his girlfriend who was also a fan. At the end of the movie, with no context, our friend goes "Wasn't that bad. I liked it." The LOOK that girl gave him was out of some sort of anime where you could just feel murder and blood in the air lmfao. I swear, I'll be 80 years old and remember that look of pure vitriolic hatred for her boyfriend in her eyes forever lol

Imagine convincing your parents to rent this movie when it came out so they can be exposed to a beautiful story that you enjoyed and then just... this... Me. I've been there... 😭😵

This movie has brought so much joy to my life. I love watching reactors’ faces to see the exact moment their hearts break, realizing what was made of their beloved show.

Did anybody else lose their shit and start laughing, just by the look in their faces in the thumbnail?? They look like someone stole their very childhood happiness, with them watching. This is one of three movies that I wish I could take back and never have seen (well almost - ANYTHING from Shyamalan is in that category).

You’re reference of the director playing telephone is spot on. That made my day. Thank you.

I feel so sorry that you guys had to witness that 😭

All of my feelings of disgust and shock as a kid watching this came flooding back. Im so sorry you decided to go down this path.

"THIS IS NOT BIBLICALLY CORRECT" I felt that

“Some of the b roll is really good”-Maple Pretty much encapsulates everything you need to know

This is still my favorite to gift out for birthdays and Christmas and the like. The look on people’s faces when they open it up is priceless.

This gets me very excited for the rest of their show reactions. I died laughing at the "Moon's Power" edit at 31:40

The way my heart dropped when I saw this thumbnail I’m so sorry you had to go through this 🙏🏾🤧

8:50 "I also deeply apologize for all the multiple times I mispronounced Uncle's name, because THAT made me so angry." I think you mean ungry

This movie is purely a fun watch to completely deconstruct all of the bad decisions that were made. Like at 19:38 he has his glider with him, but in the show he didn't because while he WANTED to fly to get the medicine quicker, there was a storm and if he had flown, he would've gotten struck by lightning, so he opted to run instead. It was a great touch to keep him from flying away whenever he wanted to

While I appreciate their sacrifice for our entertainment how far into the movie did they ask themselves are the views worth it.

Maple's theory on how M Night was the last guy on the line of the telephone game was the funniest yet most accurate description of this movie. If this video was released on the DVD commentary, it would actually make this movie worth watching. You ladies had some of the best zingers to properly describe all the inaccuracies. #ThisisnotmyAppa

We never got a King Bumi 😔 but…that’s probably a good thing. Who knows what they would’ve done to my boy!

if you look up who katara's actresses billionaire family is, it'll give you a clearer picture of how she got mis cast for this role.

Maple's comment about Aang needing to have a joyous, hopeful personality was insightful and so on-point. The great journey of Aang to full avatarhood hinged on that, and its deconstruction and reconstruction. Turning him into a bland bore absolutely robbed him of that character arc.

On this film's opening day some fans were interviewed after the movie to get their thoughts on it. The ripped into it. A dude even said "I should have gone and seen Twilight". And the worst part is I can't help but agree because at least Twilight is sometimes enjoyably bad.

Yikes! Can't wait 😅😂😂 I still don't get how he fumbled so hard with all the great material he had to work with just sitting there!!

I have high hopes for the Netflix adaptation. Nothing could be worse than this.

"Did they even watch the show!?!?!" No. Don't think they did 😂

Guy sweeping the dirt is the best part of the movie somehow

The actress Seychelle Gabriel, who plays Princess Yue, has a half French, half Mexican father and an Italian mother.

Maple's, John Wick moment. "They took....(AHHHH!) They took it away from MEEEeee!!!😡🤬😤" 🤌😂😂😂

If it were even partially just the fandom being unfair because it wasn't quite what we wanted from a live-action adaptation then that would be one thing, there are plenty of animated shows that haven't been quite the same when moved to live-action - but EVERYONE who watches this has the same experience by the end, even people who go in ignoring the fans and attempting to have optimism ALL come out at the end feeling deflated, disappointed and honestly a little broken. every. single. time. Its not just a criminally bad adaptation, its just a straight up bad movie.

The way both of their commentary kept the other laughing 😭😭 I love y’all’s chemistry! 😭😭

23:04 I think the guys at Rifftrax said it best: "HOLY MOTHER OF UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY!!" Do you think her handmaidens were snickering when they did up her hair like that? And if she needs a trim, does she call a barber or a mohel?

The worst part was that my parents took me to the premier, my as* was hyped and emotional just for me to become confused then bored and eventually fall asleep an hour into the movie. I woke up during zuko and aangs final battle, this is a core memory for me about disappointment.

"Pillowpets got it better" had me dying

[cue circling lamp] There is no "The Last Airbender" movie. Here we are safe. Here we are free. [cue circling lamp]

So some production info got leaked from a crew member of this film years later who said that the actress playing Katara had a relative who was one of the financial backers of this film who put pressure to cast her so they had to cast her brother as white too. Jessie McCartney was cast as Zuko but M.Night is not an idiot and was one of the few people in the casting pointing out that its asian story and they cast three white people as the lead (the actor playing Aang is also white) so they basically told him he can cast the villains however he wants and as an Indian man chose to have the fire nation be played entirely by Middle Eastern and South Asian actors. Some have suggested this might also be because he did the film because his daughters were fans and he wanted to have Azula, Ty Lee and Mai be played by three South Asian actors for his daughter to see themselves on screen with them being a close nit group of girls. That dose not excuse a bunch of other stuff but that at least is admirable even if it means he made a film where the evil country is entirely darker skinned then the other characters

I don’t know whose idea it was to even shorten a whole season filled with important character building and plot points to THIS. They really cut out everything that made the show beautiful and compelling and interesting. It’s truly a testament to M Night’s talent to make such a viscerally horrific film that is both audibly and visually the equivalent to nails on chalkboard. And that’s the nicest I could possibly be. This show has been my favorite since it originally aired. I have enjoyed so many reactors falling in love with it the way I did and it almost always culminates in them reaching this moment. They HAVE to know. It’s a canon event and I can’t interfere.

I watched it soon after it came out, I ignored the warnings because I was a kid and was super excited… I’d never been that disappointed before in my life. My dad liked it tho. Y’all should check out the reactions from the premiere, not one good thing was said by the fans that saw it.

“ The monks named me Ong “ YOUR NOT ONG YOUR AANG BRO 😭😭

I never every wanted to hug any reactors more than I wanted to hug Arianna and Maple just now and tell them, that it'll be okay. Shared thrauma I guess.

Just so you know, there's a pre-amble video with M. Night Shamelyan where it's the explanation of why he took on the role of show runner/director.. basically because "his daughter saw it" and wanted him to do it, but he obvious gave 0 shits - and it showed 10 minutes lying through his teeth while DiMartino and Kaneuztko were so thrilled and excited to have such a big name director involved for this movie.. you could tell even before it was made that it was going to be bad

There are no words. The good thing is that there will be an animated movie by the og creators releasing in October 2025 that follows the Gaang. I hope it gets a theatrical release here, that would make me so happy.

I was an 11 year old child! Filled with joy and excitement to see this and begged my father to take us. And i, a mere simple brain child wanting to walk out by 30 minutes into it. But was to scared to say anything and suffered

Something to note: this abomination was the introduction to the Avatar universe for MANY people. As a result, it made it nearly impossible at the time to introduce new people to the show, I remember basically pleading with people to foeget they ever saw this and PLEASE give the show a chance because the movie absolutely butchered it, but they already had a bad taste in their mouth. Avatar coming to Netflix is the only reason it had a resurgence, I had to stream it illegally whenever I wanted to watch it, so introducing it to anyone was nearly impossible if you didn't own the dvds.

This was such a gift, I laughed so hard I cried in the first 10 minutes. Thank you

Maple saying "They did my man so dirty!!" made me both laugh and die a little inside.

The running joke in the fandom is that the Ember island play was more accurate than this lmaooo Also: We all know there is so much wrong with this that I could go on forever, but the earth kingdom scene felt especially egregious because Katara was beginning to show her leadership and how resourceful she is on her own, and they just took it away to give it to aang for such a crappy scene instead? smh Also also, the girl who played Yue was actually of native ancestry and she voiced a character in the sequel show Legend of Korra so they actually got that small part right lmao

Ah yes, my favorite characters: *looks at smudged writing on hand* Ung, Soak-a, Eeroh, Uvuhtar, and Agni Kee. The best thing about this movie is the actress for Yue being cast in Korra.

I forgot this isn't just a bad adaptation, it's also a bad movie. In like almost every aspect of film making.

okay I saw this when I was 14 in theaters. I knew it was going to be bad from the trailer, but my dad insisted. I actually fell asleep watching from the "saving" the earth benders to when they get to the northern water tribe. I was so... appalled and flabbergasted at how they changed the story and left so many things out that were important to the story and later books. But watching you guys react to this definitely gets subscribe, cause I relate so hard and ya'll are hilarious with the roasting.

Idk why they casted a grown man for Sokka and then the dude doesn't even know how to act. He just reads lines with an emotionless face lmao

Right there at the beginning, when they couldn't even match the opening narration, you knew they put zero effort into this.

Oh thank you ladies, y'all saw the full movie so I never had to. I don't know what cracked me up more, Maple saying " did they even watch the show?!?" Or Ariana saying " who knows? We wouldn't even know what an angry Aang looks like cause you haven't given us fun Aang!" You both summed up the whole reason fans always hated this abomination. And a lot of em never saw it.

Oh this reaction was great! Maple and Arianna really brought their A game with this roast.

I watched this in theaters with some friends. Not even 10 minutes into it we could see it was going to be trash. Some people started leaving but my friends and I decided to stay to experience how bad it truly was. That was an experience I tell you.

I'm sorry y'all had to watch this but I'm so glad I got to see your reactions😂. I was so hurt in the theatre 😭

Katera NO! - Also, I always thought of the end that the Coi fish used Ang for revenge since Aang didn't have control of the Avatar state. He couldn't even go into it on his own yet.

M Night Shyamalan deserves to be on everyone’s permanent shit list for this travesty

It took a long time to find humor in this movie but it's there. Aasif Mandvi's delivery of Zhao's lines turns everything he says into the driest, bitchiest sarcasm. The coordinated rock-bending. Especially "Bring me all your elderly!" CRACKS me UP every time! No context for the audience, no explanation of the logic, not even "I'm looking for an elderly MAN". Just out of nowhere. It's hilarious and I'm genuinely considering getting it as a tattoo.

"the monks named me ong" With no hesitation whatsoever "No they didn't"

Idk if you guys noticed but there’s no kyoshi warriors in this movie because shamalamadingdong felt like they weren’t important

The teaser for this movie is what actually introduced me to the series. Avatar: The Last Airbender is by far one of my favorite tv show. I was so excited for the movie. This was season 8 Game of Thrones bad.

You know what's worse? Me and my cousins actually defending this shit from the time it was announced and we waited for every trailer, counted the days till the superbowl trailer came out, went on comment section wars on youtube to defend it. Until the day it finally premiered and we walked out of that theater like we got molested. None of us would look each other in the eyes, we just talked around it like we didn't see the shit show that it was. MAN! Took us months until one of us finally went "That shit sucked" and finally burst the awkward bubble.

Your reaction to the coming Netflix avatar adaptation is directly under this video and the difference in the thumbnails are hilarious 😂😂

Some say he’s still sweeping the dirt to this very day.

I salute you two for Sacrificing your time to watch this movie and make content for us!

They made a conscious decision to change the pronunciation of the names because they wanted the names to sound more Asian (and less like an American's failed attempt at pronouncing Asian names). Aang probably should be pronounced with an "a" as in "father" (or the "a" in the monk/Dalai Lama name Gyatso) rather than like in "cat".

As a huge Twilight fan and Jasper lover growing up as a kid, I was APPALLED at Sokka's casting choice when the trailers came out

To this day, this is the only movie I've ever walked out of. And it was supposed to be a trilogy but the first one got such a negative reaction that the rest got canned

You guys hit the nail on the head almost immediately. Its not that the movie is so bad per se, its that it is so DISRESPECTFUL to one of the best and mosy beloved tv shows of all time. You dont have to completely retell the exact story, but you also didnt have to shit all over it. Great reaction as always guys, props for having the courage to sit through it

1 minute and 20 seconds in... the expressions on their faces... "It's gonna be ok".... LOL!!!!

Dev Patel really gave this movie his all & im glad he still has the most decent career out of all of the cast in this film

I'm torn about the pronounciation thing because the original show BUTCHERS all the asian names, and I can't really fault anyone for feeling like they should fix it in the movie adaptation. On the other hand I understand why it would drive fans nuts, and the movie does plenty of mistakes as well.

And you're right, we WERE excited for this when we heard it was being made. And no, M. Night did not watch the show. We also want to just... talk to some people in a room

"Can some one just do it again" and "who has the rights? Can we just redo this" is now such iconic terms for the new live action lolol

The person who played Princess Yue, Seychelle Gabriel, voiced Asami in Korra
