Interview shows Shamalan never undersootd TLA wont admit fault
.
When we spoke with Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante Dimartino, the creators of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, they said they elected to pretend that the live-action film didn't exist. When asked if he'd been surprised by the response, Shyamalan said that he was
you are surprised whren you raped their characters, story and idea for afew bucks and left it dead after with little hope of a remake?
"It's really weird because on the show the average age was, like, nine-years-old," the director said. "My child was nine-years-old. So you could make it one of two ways. You could make it for that same audience, which is what I did -- for nine and 10-year-olds -- or you could do the Transformers version and have Megan Fox. I didn't do that. That would have felt like, 'Well, I'm going to make a movie about a kids show that my 10-year-old is watching and not make it for her. I make it for my guy friends.' That felt like a betrayal of the innocence of the piece. In retrospect, is it too young to go out -- it's like what your intention is versus what they want it to be. Clearly, 10-year-olds -- I go out and 10-year-olds are like, 'That's my favorite show! I love that movie!' Parents come up to me and go, 'They've watched The Last Airbender 74 times!'
here is where shama-hack's ignorance shines through.. he never understood the source material to begin with. he thought because it stared 9-13 year olds it had to be dumb, childish, and simple. or else go the "tranformers meghan fox route"
does this guy have no subtly??? was the episode about blood bending meant for 9 year old.
shamalans a joke share
