Preferable 'The Last Airbender' Cast
by siasiafa | created - 06 Nov 2011 | updated - 06 Nov 2011 | PublicM Night Shamalans' The Last Airbender was a colossal flop in terms of story, pronounciation and cast.
Provided, that most of these actors would have to go through a serious over-haul in terms of martial arts training, voice training etc, this list is based purely on looks and(attempting) getting actors that look similar or at least have something in common with their supposed roles.
There are a few characters that I think can be played by many actors hence the double up.
Given the actors are well into their 20s are meant to portray children/teenagers, I think for purposes of maturity and believe-ability, my story arc would have Sokka 18, Katara 15 turning 16 and Aang 14 or 15 (more like 114 or 115 :D). Still keeps in time with telling the Avatar before he turned 16, Aang and Katara having a connection and they're still young enough to go explore and learn new things. Also, these actors have to have chemistry because one way or another, all these characters are linked, so keeping that in mind here's who I would've liked to have seen play my childhood heroes!
The only one I can't think of would importantly be Aang :(
ps I so wouldn't have compromised the title! >:( So what the other master peice is thier - BRING IT ON BLUE PEOPLE, I'LL JUST EARTH BEND A MOUNTAIN ON TOP OF YOU AND BURN YOUR DUMB TREE MYSELF....lol
