Katara: This is Not a Tan

M. Night Shyamalan's adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming out tomorrow.

Please, don't go to see it. Don't give your money to support the racist and appropriative mangling of the original show.

I am a huge fan of the TV series, and I was originally delighted to hear that there would be a live-action movie, but have become increasingly horrified, disbelieving, and heartbroken as further details have been released.

This site is the official fan-powered protest site, and has further details. This post is a beautiful and much more personal take on the movie, and this review shows why the movie is, completely aside from its racism, a complete waste of money.

Quote refers to something Jackson Rathbone, the actor who plays Sokka, said in response to the casting:
"I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan."
