Oh! The tragedy...

Well, what can I say ???

I remember a line reading in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. A line by Albus Dumbledore. Curiosity is not a sin but one should exercise caution. Why did I see it ??? After reading so many bad reviews why the h*** did I see it ???

This movie is a slap to a wonderfully crafted 1 season. No character development. Aang (aah-ng), Soaka (soo-kah), Iroh (hee-roh), avatar (aah-va-taar) ??? What the h*** ??? They did not even get the names right. Where's King Bhoomi ??? Where's the fire-bending master ??? Where's the mustache for Monk Kiyatso ??? Where's the amazing back to back flashback of Zuko and Aang. Where's the huge Monster ???

What is it with they want him to be the avatar ??? It's not a question of what they want ??? It doesn't even matter whether they want him as the avatar or not. He IS the avatar. Period. Second of all Aang struggling with water-bending ??? He has a natural talent and he does it with much more ease than Katara does in the beginning. Where's n the Comet scene ??? Where' Avatar Roku ??? Where's Jeti, Where's Sooki ??? Where's the fire temple ??? What the h*** happened to the Water Nation culture to which Katara objects ??? What happened to her healing abilities. And why does Aang controls the avatar state with much ease at the end of the movie ??? He never did learn to control his avatar state. At present his avatar state is triggered by anger depression.

Most of all why Aang is depressed all the times. He should be lively and smiling all the time. Why Katara is not mothering all the time ??? And, why Soaka is so serious ??? Shall I keep going ???

A film that had so much potential and so much life and had a chance to be different from others but only to be spoiled by M.Night Shyamalan and Paramount Studios. Yes, I blame the studios as well as they are the ones producing this film and failed very deeply to produce it up to the satisfaction of the audience.

The best advice that came be given is better stop now itself before doing anymore damage to the remaining to seasons. Or let them bring in a new director who can understand the entire show and reboot the entire franchise from scratch and pay attention to details this time at least. After all second chance is given to everybody. Though for M.Night Shyamalan it must be the fifth chance.

Get bent, Shyalaman for utterly ruining one of my favorite animation series.
