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.

this shit is bananas.

Jesse McCartney can go DIAF, I seriously hope he is NOT playing Zuko.

I don't even KNOW those two other people, but what the fuck. Way to be a racist dick, M Night. *THUMBS DOWN* GET SOME ASIANS NEXT TIME FOR CHRIST SAKE. SEA WOULD MAKE A BETTER ZUKO THAN JESSE FUCKING McCARTNEY.

I don't understand the Jesse McCartney bullshit. Can he even act?

It IS racist. It's not even about appearance. It's an entire universe centered around various Asian cultures -- and it's going to be populated by white people. Wonderful. :/
