^^ yeah.. dev as i see on the pics.. they retained his dark skin..
so i'm kinda worried too about seein the scar.. and yeah it will be hard for them to lighten his skin..
and btw (the original choice for Zuko is Jesse McCartney... ) so yeah..

and the trailer is soooo awesome.. i saw the cartoon series come to life... hopefully they can keep it up...

So I just saw the Last Airbender trailers and stuff and am disappointed by the casting decisions. Aang ain't white, y'all. At least they got rid of Jesse Mccartney as Zukko..but I still can't see J-Rath as Sokka maybe if they switched it would make more since? since Jackson's a little old to play Sokka anyways but Zuko come sof as older.

^^well jackson's baby faced.. so i think he can pull it off...

okay... here's like the cast pics..(well the main 4)

Aang, Zuko, Sokka and Katara

Zuko:the scar is not that.. obvious.. and the hair! he should shave it.
Katara and Sokka: I wished they were tanned.
Aang: he should smile.. aang's bubbly and fun..

well that's only me.. what do you guys think?

EGADS! *covers eyes*
What happened to Jackson!?!?
And who ever's playing Katara looks so.... FEMININE. She'd better be able to sigh a lot and yell and be all hopeful.
David... He's just not hot. Hot dang, and I was so hoping for a good looking Zuko. However, he is pulling off the "I'm angry and I need to go capture the Avatar to restore my honor because I'm a party pooper!" look quite nicely.
Aang looks petulant. Less petulant, more fun!

i agree with Zuko, i was expecting a bada$$ goodlooking guy... well he's kinda cute but not as cute as Zuko.. :lol:
with Katara.... yeah she should like a 'mother' and yell at the boys more.. :D
and with Aang... he needs to smile more!! puhleeaassee!!

^I agree.
That doesn't remind me of Zuko, at all.

No. David's NOT the sexy firebender man I know and love. He'd better be able to act the part, or I shall not be happy with this movie.

I have to say Jackson looks a lot better than I thought he would. I agree - it isn't Zuko - but it's only a still... I'm hoping.

uhg! I really don't like Dev Patel as Zuko, which is a shame because I loved him in slumdog millionaire. but seriously, he just is not right for the part. I was really kind of upset about katara and sokka but they both look so cute in that picture that I think I can deal. I think aang looks ok too, could be better but as long as the kid can act it will be fine. The trailer is AMAZING. It definitely looks like a different take on Avatar but I am still hopeful that it will be good.

i agree i was expecting Zuko to be chinkey eyed pale skinned scarfaced cute firebender. no offense to Dev, he's a good actor.. but.. i don't think he could pull it off.. we can only wish.

on Sokka. well i was thrilled that Jackson will play the part, and got excited about it.. though i was expecting some dark skinned mo hawk dude to play him.. when i found out Jackson will play the part.. i expected him to be darker.. not as pale as that.. but with Jackson's wit.. i can see he can pull it off. ;) [if you've seen him as a pothead in a movie.. you'll know what i'm talking about... :P ) can't wait to see Sokka's sarcasm.

Aang... can't wait to see the childish part of him where he'll not be as serious as on the pic.. one role that I can really say 'good job' on the casting...

well this' just my thoughts. so yeah..

and oh... Season 1 replays are on Nick again!! wooohooo!!! (hahah to think i have all the DVD's.... )
