Even funnier is that both Cameron and the Nickelodeon show used the same papyrus font as their logos.)
NOAH RINGER 2020 MOVIE
(Due to James Cameron, the movie couldn't use the word "Avatar" in its title less than a year after Cameron's own Avatar made billions at the box office. You probably already know the story, but for those who don't: The Last Airbender is an adaptation of the same Nickelodeon cartoon your friends can't stop talking about. That it's biggest legacy is the slang "Racebending," meaning to white-wash ethnic minority characters, is telling of all the ways Last Airbender squandered what could have been a generation's biggest film franchise. But in the fun, boo-and-heckle way, and not because there's anything redeeming ten years later. I'm here to tell you that yes, The Last Airbender is the movie you need to see before it leaves Netflix on October 7.
Because the algorithms do what they do, you might've seen Shyamalan's film pop up. Miraculously, the fan community for the Nickelodeon cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender survived, becoming more prominent in 2020 in the show's return to Netflix. They didn't want to talk about Avatar again. I'd see the same people at the next party a week later. Released when I had just graduated high school, I went to house parties where Avatar obsessives drunkenly argued over fan theories ahead of the movie. It nearly destroyed a fandom that I saw spiral in real time. Perhaps the biggest of all Shyamalan trainwrecks, the movie didn't just disappoint general moviegoers hoping for a new Harry Potter.
Except one.Įnter the 2010 fantasy film The Last Airbender, a movie that occupies the most bottom-rung in the Shyamalan ladder. Not everything from Shyamalan lands, but he is fascinating even in his biggest disasters. He'll give you Unbreakable one day, then After Earth the next. Though his end results are wildly inconsistent, he's fully capable of being "on" when you least expect. Night Shyamalan is that he is a great director.
