The Cast

I really hope this is some kind of a joke, but I doubt it. What the fuck is this shit?! Why is the guy who played Jasper Cullen in Twilight playing Sokka? Who is this chick? Why are they all white? HOW HARD IS IT TO FIND ASIANS TO PLAY THESE CHARACTERS? (The only one who can get away with a white actor is Aang.)

Also - Jesse McCartney? Jesse fucking McCartney, playing my Zuko?

If this is the definite cast for the movie, I refuse to go see it or put my money down on it, just based on principle. I WASH MY HANDS OF THIS MOVIE.

Edit: This post pretty much sums up everything I'm feeling about the Avatar cast very well.

Training the actress playing Katara from the basics would be okay since it looks like the movie is just going to be a live action rendition of season 1. Katara only gets pretty good by the end of the season.

...but Zuko and Aang? O_O Um. You need some serious agility and stuff to play both of them. Granted, this is what stunt actors are for, but.......

Admittedly, you might not find a lot of trained actors wth a history in martial arts, but in the case of people aged 11-15, you can train somebody to learn to act.
