For a brief moment in the early 2000’s, people were referring to M Night Shyamalan as “The Next Spielberg.” With popular hits like The Sixth Sense and Signs, it seemed like the director was going to churn out classic after classic. But then came The Village… Lady in the Water… The Happening… Opinions started to change. Then came “The Last Airbender” in 2010, which not only solidified the new, negative public opinion of Shyamalan, but also enraged fans of the animated series around the world.
The Last Airbender definitely raises a lot of questions. Like why rush through twenty episodes in ninety minutes? Why is there so much narration and exposition? Why are everybody’s names being pronounced weird? Why doesn’t anyone have any personality? Why does bending look so weird? What was up with that Earth Tribe scene? Who thought this was a good idea?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Last Airbender! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Finally! This movie was MADE for Pitch meetings. (And is of no use whatsoever to anyone else.)
aCTuaLly, PiTCh mEeTInGS aRE mAdE bEfORe tHE mOvIe
Ohhh movies made for Pitch Meetings are TIGHT!
Only way it'd be funnier is if he called it an anime instead of animated at the beginning lol
Actually, my response to seeing the film was “that was truly terrible. What about any of this do people think have merit?” which led to me watching the cartoon. So in that sense, the movie was of some use.
Ummmm what about cinemasins
Imagine making a movie so bad that they somehow got the name of the main character wrong
I gave it until they pronounce Aang wrong
@@Twiggymaster666 And Sokka they called Sooka or Suka or whatever
Kanye Rahming everybody in the movie was pronounced wrong if it was a book I can kind of understand it but it was a TV show there is no excuse
the reason the director did that is that aang is white and so he does not see Tibetan which is where the name aang comes from and for somereason they should change the pronunciation
@@Twiggymaster666 I agree, man
This movie is like a drunk person trying to explain the first season, mispronouncing the names, forgetting very important things, etc...
Drunk History comes to mind
So Sookuu, Cheara and Andy go to the Northern Tribe,,,,,, I'm just hear to like comments to improve this video's engagement score.
Would love a drunk history episode of Avatar the last Airbender 😂
This makes so much more sense
@@sean_mccadden those hand movements wouldn't be slow like taichi lol
Honestly that scene where 5 guys are all in synchronised dance giving their heart and soul just to move a tiny rock is one of the funniest i have ever scene in movie history
Facts!!😂😂😂..I laughed so hard at that
I have to wonder if they thought they were going to look amazing once the edits were in. I mean, talk about dissapointing.
The way you phrased that scene 🤣🤣🤣
obiwan and darth vader poking each other with light sticks was 100 times more exciting than this scene
5 earthbending guys: *does a whole Haka Dance to lift one rock Toph: 😐
"Long ago, the three seasons of Avatar lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Shymalan attacked."
Shy Mulan… Shaman… Shoo My Lamb… Shamalamadingdong… The guy who did Sixth Sense has come a long way, but not in a good way.
🤣
Long ago the Avatar fanbase lived as together in harmony. But absolutely nothing changed when this movie attacked. Then came LoK.
Because of Shamalandodop movie there was no season IV of the Avatar
😂😂
The pitch meeting is thousand times better than the movie .
What? You didn't like the pitch meeting?
More like trillion times bettet
Don't you mean these thousand pitch meetings are one times better than the movie?
Buddy, there are a lot of things that are 1,000 times better than that movie
Yes I do have a very small penis but, ....……………………………....…………………………… That is a genius username. I hate it.
“I’m just changing things I don’t know why.” The only sentence you need to describe The Last Airbender.
Honestly, I'd have gone with "I don't know why this movie should be." The series is damn near perfect -- I don't say that lightly -- there's not really much you can do in a movie to top it even if you do everything well. So why make the movie at all? (I mean, sure, want to do a spin-off, tell a different story from that universe, or something like that? Great! But "the same, but compressed and live-action", while now a Disney staple (at least the latter part of it) doesn't really justify making a movie.
I choose to believe that this movie is the perfect live action replication of the play in the series, has some tangentially connected lines but otherwise has vastly different characters, is incorrect in areas, and uses wonky special effects to show bending stuff happening in lame theater style.
I love how Shyamalan's excuse for how short and truncated the plot was is: "I'm just comfortable with that runtime length."
@@bobbyfeet2240 I agree that no one should have tried to make a live-action version of the show in the first place. That's something I bring up a lot when discussing this movie, making it live-action and trying to sum it all up in a movie (no matter the length) were the first problems. Even someone who really knows what they are doing in terms of making a fantasy epic probably could not make this incredibly movie well. The visuals, the story, and the characters are all very rooted in the fact that the show is a cartoon. Everything is built around that, and becomes larger than life and more humorous. Maybe that's why the movie was trying to be more serious than the TV show? Either way, the seriousness of the movie did feel very strange. It goes hand-in-hand with the cartoon thing. The characters are meant to be far more comedic, even when the story is serious. The TV show puts seriousness and comedy together. So when they only tried to be serious in the film, everything that was so precariously balanced on how it was done in the TV show fell apart.
@@ScionStorm1 Apparently Nickelodeon Studios wanted to make it even shorter though. They told him that 90 minutes was too long.
The fact that they made fire benders, one of the only benders that can create their element, need to have a source of fire to firebend is infuriating
Is there anything at all about this movie that isn't infuriating though?
Nope, not a single bloody thing.
That's what I'm saying
@@Ruiluth no
@@Ruiluth I liked the tattoos. They looked kinda cool but yeah, that's like the only thing.
“Trying to cram more than 400 minutes of a 20 episode TV season into a hour and a half movie is TIGHT.”
Sounds extremely clunky.
Quite literally hahaha
"And the name pronunciations are the same as they are in the show?" "There's absolutely no way to verify that"
@@hendrikscheepers4144 Yeah, he said "pro-noun-ciations" instead of "pro-nun-ciations." But I rather think that's a forgivable whoopsie, considering the way that the base word [pronounce] is pronounced.
😂😂😂😂

Priceless.

There’s time stamps for a reason
The shredded cheese joke is honestly one of the best lines George has come up with to this day
Almost matches up to the running, “This is a Star Wars” joke that Ryan came up with. They are such an amazing team.
@@jeromevaleska2014 Which pitch meeting is that in?

His name is Ryan
*It's my absolute favourite joke from his, and he has some zingers and bangers and killers, but this one just hits different, it in fact slaps. Edit: the only rival I can think of is "the odds are astronomical, but that's okay, cause we're in space."
It's been more than 10 years, but it still hurts like it was yesterday.
No one is ever going to move on about a movie that didn't exist in Ba Sing Se.
I thought the internet agreed that this movie never existed
It doesn't.

@@dreday99 are you bumi
I love how Ryan just made up an entire movie and hired actors to do short scenes, just so that he could do a pitch meeting about a supposed Avatar movie
This is weird, doing a pitch meeting for a movie that doesn't exist. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PEOPLE.
Sometimes I wish they'd made a sequel to The Matrix. Maybe even a trilogy. Then I think, nah, they kinda did the big reveal in the first one and probably couldn't top that even if they tried really, really, really, really, really, really hard.
@@jimluebke3869 Well, buckle up for part four.
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se
But aCtually...it would be really weird to pitch a movie that already exists...unless it was a comedy thing. So since this movie doesn't exist, it probably isn't a comedy thing. So I guess, Screen writer guy is actually pitching this terrible movie.
@@georgetiddy7825 There is no movie in Ba Sing Se. There is no war in Ba Sing Se. We have tea here in Ba Sing Se.

There are no plans for a sequel.
This is forbidden. I can feel my banished memories coming back to me!

The shredded cheese analogy had me dying 😂
I saw the movie first, and thought it was boring. My kids made me watch the cartoon, and I absolutely LOVED it. This pitch meeting hits the nail right on the head!
I really wish I watched the cartoon first.
It's like the worse the movies are the better the pitch meeting.
Your logic is undeniable.
The better " The Honest Trailer " also
So, we are witnessing the best Pitch Meeting ever.

That’s... Yes.

I’m gonna need you to get allll the way off my back about the war in Ba Sing Se

There is no war in Ba Sing Se...

15 years later and they still followed the rule of "tell, dont show" in the netflix series
I remember the showrunner saying that he hasn't seen the film. I found it: "There was a period of time where I thought I should watch it, but then I thought, I don't really want those images in my head as I start to go forward with our version of this project. So I avoided it purposefully"
i love the fact that when they restore the moon, people start fighting normally with their fists against the firebenders
"Water *kingdom"* Oh god, you're making me realize how much this movie got wrong all over again.
Fire nation air nomads water tribe earth kingdom
Like in the danish version they call the fire nation ild landet that mean fire kingdom
the title crawl says "the four nations: water, earth, fire and air nomads" wtf??? is it the water nation, earth nation, fire nation, and air nomads nation? or is it water nation, earth nation, fire nation, and air nomads? then why's there 4 nations? wtf man
The Tusken Clanker ikr, imagine making a clear statement of ignorance of source material within the _first few seconds_ of a movie.
They say four nations in the show too. There are four nations, it's just only the Fire Nation is the only one to have Nation in its official name. It's like how every country is a state but only some states like the United States of America or the State of Israel has the word as part of its full name.
Even Michael Bay had the decency to wait 20 years before ruining Transformers.
And he didn't even do that bad of a job with Transformers. Also the fact that movie has spawned a ton of sequels counts as a major win over Airbender.
The first Transformers movie is like a hundred times better than The Last Airbender. Not even comparable.
I didn't even hate the first transformers that much, except all the cringe
The first one (2007) was the good one by default. It sucked slightly less than the later 4.
@@4plus20isHappy Honestly though, the original cartoon was just made to sell toys in the first place. Plot was secondary to the explosions even back then, so it's not like Micheal Bay could really ruin the story that much. Heck, if anything it caused transformers to sell even more toys, so it did what it was made to do.
"Tell, don't show!" "I think you have that backwards!" "No no, it's like they say, 1000 pictures are worth a single word!" "Disagree to agree I guess" This pitch meeting had me ROFLing ! Good job boys! ("boys")

I heard a lot of fans felt nausea, too.
@@primmoore6232 I refused to watch it long enough (years!!!) that by the time I watched it I mainly felt sleepy.
Ironically seeing this movie is what got me into Avatar. I started watching the first few minutes of the film, but never finished it. Then I heard it was based on an animated series, and one day I was like, “Meh, why not watch it? I got nothing better to do.” And I loved it. And I heard that the movie was really bad. So thank the Lord for sparing me 😊
This sounds like it would be a terrible movie. So glad they never actually made it.

This is historic: The first Pitch Meeting done about a movie that doesn't exist. Good work Ryan!

This train wreck of a movie was basically designed for a Pitch Meeting
Random, but does anyone else find themselves in the boat where they've seen a bad movie, but can't rage about it with friends and acquaintances cuz they heard it was bad and refused to see it? I'm looking at you Rise of Skywalker... still can't convince my best friend to see it just so we can talk about how bad it is.
@@nahor88 Show them this pitch meeting. They don't need to see the movie. :D Also I have a friend who knew The Last Airbender was going to be terrible, so she and a friend just drank a bottle of wine together before they started watching it, and then another bottle while watching....just to survive it...
yeah yeah yeah
I actually thought I had seen the pitch meeting because the movie basically is a pitch meeting. He didn't add anything to the mockery that the movie didn't already do. He just said what happened most of the time. It is like meeting a kid called Smelly McAsshair and trying to make fun of his name.
@@nahor88 I had a friend on FB say they've never seen the original and liked this movie.. I still consider dbz way worse tho

I feel bad for the actors. They probably thought they would be the next Harry Potter cast or something
And it is not like they done anything wrong, I think they performed good, just everything else was wrong with this movie..like the script xD
It’s like this with the Peter Johnson movies. I feel like everyone blames them for the monstrosity that is the movies but they were just hired for it.
Why would they think that? Almost every life action anime remake is trash. If they watched the anime at all, they would have known that while filming as well. They wanted the money (not blaming them, I would act in trash movies as well if the pay was decent)
@@petramaier9153 is atla an anime?

"there's literally no way for me to verify that!" had me in stitches
Well it’s harder to verify that than getting character designs wrong, like in Dragon Ball Evolution, and that’s harder to verify than the spelling of a name, which the Steins Gate dub got wrong.
Yeah, it isn’t like there is a show or something. This movies is not based on avatar the last airbender. It doesn’t even exist
To be fair, the movie uses the correct pronunciation of "Aang" and the cartoon was the one that got it wrong... ...Even so, they got it wrong on purpose because it just sounds like a more natural name to us Americans. Plus it's a name so the "correct" pronunciation is whatever the one naming decides on. A parent could name their child "Jah-coob" instead of the normal Jacob and that would be the correct pronunciation for that person. So I still think the movie either got it wrong, or changed his name depending on how you look at it.
But there is, he could’ve just watched the source mate….. ohhhhh ok!
@@gogokowai Once the show pronounced it as "Ehng", that *became* the correct pronunciation for the (1)12-year-old Airbending Avatar who spent a 100 years in a self-created iceberg. It *doesn't matter* how Indian people would pronounce that word, for an *adaptation* the *only* correct pronunciation is the pronunciation from the original source material.
Please make a pitch meeting for the Netflix adaptation!
The exposition about Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy really helped me understand this Pitch Meeting.
“Long ago the Avatar franchise lived in harmony, but everything changed when M. Night Shyamalan attacked.”
Yep sounds right to me..
I don't understand what happened that people thought it was going to be good speaking on the directors or actors it literally anyone
M. Night shamealan
Brandon because a large part of the fan base was children who didn’t know anything about the actors or director. The older fans might have known better but were still hopeful
Every single time he takes movies with fantastic potential and gives us total letdowns.

The comment at the beginning about how the benders need to move their arms slowly to bend is why probably why the Fire Nation is so effective. Fire bending just requires you to quickly punch, kick, and occasionally breakdance. You don’t really have to do tai chi just to launch a small projectile.

Honestly, the episode with the Ember Islands Players was better then the Last Airbender movie.
At least the episode was good. Although... It's uncanny how they predicted people's reactions to the movie years before it was in development.
Rotting fish is better than The Last Airbender movie.
Plot twist, Shyamalan thought that episode was a clip show and used it as the primary basis for his movie characterizations.
@@zachwilliams88 Shyamalan: What is this... "characterization" thou speakest of?
And it was more faithful than the movie. Who would have known that a Fire Nation propaganda piece would end up being more faithful than a movie meant to actually adapt the series as it was.
one thing that always infuriated me about the beginning scene is how katara waterbends with her gloves on when in the show she had to take them off. it's a small detail but it really does show how little they cared.
The voice over narration had me DYING! Ryan is a genius, I couldn’t breathe!
"people like cheese and shredded cheese", perfect justification for this movie. So funny!
I don't really get it because I don't like cheese. I'm more of a fan of guitar riffs and incriminating documents.

It's kind of brilliant that at 4:34 he shows you why it's important to obey "Show, don't tell", instead of just telling you it's important. And he does it BY spending a minute telling you stuff instead of showing it to you.
