I swear the casting director is blind. Zuko is light skinned and therefore must be played by a caucasian or an asian. Katara and Sokka are brown skinned and therefore must be played by a a native american, latino or indian. Dev Patel should be cast as Sokka not Zuko. I feel like they are just hiring whoever is popular at the moment rather than people who actually look like the character and can act as them.
Yeah that's what I thought to when I heard about it, Sokka potrayed by Dev would look a lot better than Zuko. I think Jesse would be better than Dev, but instead of putting all these dudes we've heard of in the cast, they should hire new unknown people that way we will see the character more as Katara or Zuko instead of just Jesse or Dev or something like that. I mean that's what happens in Comic Book movies.


So you see Hugh Jackman instead of Wolverine?

Really?

I thought he was a pretty good Wolverine.
He was a decent Wolverine. In the first and second movie.

The third was just a tragedy, so nothing could save it.

Honestly, I'm dreading the new X-Men Origins movie, they ******** up Sabre tooth, and I just see them ******** up Gambit.

Oh I know. The third was a travesty. Still annoyed by miss "I have more than one mutant power biggrin DDDDD"

Oh Gambit.

How you made my little five year old heart skip a beat.

And still do.



I know they'll mess him up. Yet I can't help but be excited.

Well, it wasn't that. It was that they ******** up the Phoenix storyline completely. She didn't turn into Dark Phoenix until much later, and it was because she was brainwashed, not because she was inherently evil. The Phoenix Force isn't just a mutant power, it is the guardian of the Encron Crystal, that's the whole reason there was a Phoenix in the first place.

They turned it into a fairly typical action movie. Good action, bad plot, bland acting. It didn't let you relate to any of the characters, it pushed you away rather than drew you in. Much in the same vein as the Harry Potter movies.

I just bring up that because it makes it so they couldn't bring in Quick Silver. They don't reuse powers, or they shouldn't. It's like they were too lazy to explain him at all.

I understand why they did it, like most of the things they do with the movies. But they just shouldn't have.

. . . .

And Halle Berry should not have been TWO super heroes. Ever. Whether or not Catwoman sucked. That is just not cool.

Hollywood needs to seriously GTFO of my childhood.

The new Street Fighter movie looks like s**t. Seriously? I loved Chun Li.

Oh yeah.

They should have casted someone with...well...a body shape.

Chun Li thighs.

True. But Smallville girl is a twig. Apparently more so than when she was in Smallville.

And you notice on the tv trailers they don't actually mention that it's the Chun Li movie. Hm.

Yes they do.
It says "Streetfighter: Something Chun Li Story"

On the trailers I've seen offline they verbally just say street fighter, but the text says the legend of chun li. Atleast the ones from a few days ago.

[edit] World just shaken for the....50th time recently I swear.

Why did I never know that Frollo from Hunchback and Megabyte were the same man?!

So many questions answered.

The casting seems... interesting. XD;; I hope everything is not final yet, though.

Thanks for the update! I'm glad they found some actors that relatively look like the characters. :3
