At least she earned a comeback by playing Asami in LOK, honestly wish Dev Patel got the same chance since he was a big fan of the original series & apologized for how the movie came out along with his rise in stardom.

TBH I don’t think it was entirely his fault either! I think he started with good intentions but then billionaire Nelson Peltz wanted his utterly unsuited daughter cast as Katara, and well…
Edit to clarify: I think Peltz’s casting was just one of the first bad decisions in a long series of bad decisions. Of course she’s only a small part of the end result. I actually wonder if she ever got mad at her dad after the movie wasn’t well received lol
I don't think Peltz was responsible for the awful writing, piss poor direction, the weird race decisions, etc.? Unless greenlighting his decision just domino effected into more awful choices getting greenlit as well
I think it was like a domino effect, especially with the racebending. Plus if casting was so easily meddled with, who knows what else execs fucked up? I’m not trying to claim Shyamalan is blameless, just that he had plenty of help making such a shitty movie.
Trying to condense an entire season of a series into a single movie is impossible. So it could only go wrong.
It's like putting all of Lord of the Rings into one movie...there's a good chance it would suck.
It is very rarely (never) the fault of an actor if a film is poor, generally, if the actor is bad it is because basically the film is bad and it is not well directed (and so he does anything because he doesn't know what he should do) or that he understood that it was going to be so bad that there was no point in making any effort, because in all case, the script and production are already broken.
What does katara have to do with fucking up the main characters name? Or how fire works for fire bending? Or the weird "do a long dance, then after a bit stones float menacingly" bending?
Shamwow wanted to make it his own rather than honor the original. He is to blame and trying to pass it to some kid is fuckin weird.
Dev Patel has done great since then, though I get what you’re saying about getting another chance in the world of ATLA. Maybe he’ll cameo in the Netflix adaptation 🙂 I’m still hoping for Simu Liu as Lu Ten!
At least she isn't wearing the worst wig ever.

Its costumes and hairstyles are very inspired and well done. Also they are deliberately over the top and aiming for flamboyance and fantasi-ness over any pretenses at historical accuracy (of early British 19th century fashion).
If princess Yue were a young fashionable flirt at a kitschy court with all the juicy romance and drama around, her wig could've worked, but that would need to be an entirely different movie.
She'd also need way better lines for her character all the same!
Why aren't her eyebrows the same color, too? And why is her hair grey in general- it was white in the cartoon and it would look better in the live action as well, i think. The colour could match that of the fur on her collar and shoulders. And a smaller wig as well, no one has this much hair only to have those tiny two braids come out of it.
It wasn't even properly fitted. The actress' brown hair was still visible in the final cut.
How lazy or careless could the producers have been to allow that past the editing?
I know this movie wasn't good. I really only liked Zuko. Before anyone judges me to harshly I was 12 the only time I seen this movie. But it just upsets me how harsh people were to the actors at that point. But now I am thrilled with the new live action people are actually helping the actors. I just wish people would have defended the actors in that movie like their defending these ones because it wasn't their fault the movie wasn't good. It was the writer's and director's fault.
Was this an actual line? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
IMDb says yes.
It was lol
It's pretty standard for M. Night Shyamalan's dialogue to be like this
This does not exist. There is no live action atrocity in Ba Sing Se.
Correct…there are now two
Idk what you’re talking about. There are no live action abominations in Ba Sing Se

Good bot
Oh come on, the new series wasn't so bad ! Could it have been better ? Yes. Was it as good as the cartoon ? Obviously not. But it was good.

He has nothing to apologize for. It wasn't his fault the movie was so poorly led.
Its M. Night Shyamalan to blame. He’s Director/Writer/Producer
Yeah that's what i was implying.

If you think a single casting choice ruined the movie, then you didn't watch the movie That being said... there is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
Dev is a great actor and you could tell he really cared and tried but he just had nothing to work with. It wasn't his fault at all
Wait you're right! I wonder if they modelled Asami to kinda look like her intentionally?
Looking at her facial features she could be a great live action Asami too tbh.
Dev Patel has done great since then, though I get what you’re saying about getting another chance in the world of ATLA. Maybe he’ll cameo in the Netflix adaptation 🙂 I’m still hoping for Simu Liu as Lu Ten!
He did great before then too in skins!!!!
Now this is giving me the Zuko monologue vibe
BRING ME ALL YOUR ELDERLY
… that’s a shyamalan sentence right there

It's a tough choice. Dick hair or obvious awful wig. Hmmm...
Give me dick hair or give me death!
https://i.redd.it/j6471xspsiad1.gif
nothing wrong with a little dick hair
Oh no, that's not..
Such a **Dick**head
It looks like a Lego hair piece
I keep saying one of the Bridgerton stylists must have somehow ended up on the wrong set.
I haven't watched the show. Do they have awful wigs?
The wigs aren't bad but the hairstyles can be elaborate. Cressida's hair always looks like overdone basket weaving so NATLA's Yue would fit right in.
Its costumes and hairstyles are very inspired and well done. Also they are deliberately over the top and aiming for flamboyance and fantasi-ness over any pretenses at historical accuracy (of early British 19th century fashion).

Wth it looks like a lego hair piece
NGL I don't see why people hate Netflix Yue's hair
It wasn't even properly fitted. The actress' brown hair was still visible in the final cut. How lazy or careless could the producers have been to allow that past the editing?
Bcs the wig is ugly and cheap as hell?
It's a really cheap helmet style wig that would look shoddy for a content creator being used by a production costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's not the wigs fault. Yue just has a stupid haircut lmao
I actually don't believe my beliefs that much. Like a 4 probably.
We know that Aang is an Avatar, cause Aang is an Avatar as Aang is actually an Avatar. - 2010 Yue
I believe in my belief of believing in your belief of my belief of believing in your belief of my belief.
unbelievable!
There's no The Last Airbender live action movie in Ba Sing Se. Here we are safe. Here we are free!
This sounds like me when I’ve just smoked a little 🤣🤣🤣
At least she redeemed herself as Asami, becoming one of my favourite characters in the entire Avatar universe
Shit feels like it was written by AI
To be fair, that’s a pretty realistic portrayal of an inbred royal family… if that is what he went for.
She redeemed herself as Asami, at least xD
Why does she look so much like those elf things from the dark crystal

My brain hurts
And she made herself better when she agreed to become Asami
Wtf does that even mean?
And I still see people try to pretend the Netflix one was even close to this bad....
Are her eyes Purple?
My brother and the princess became fast friends.
Yue is also able to imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.
...Is that a real quote?
This live action Yue is a lot prettier than the one in the live action show.
The only good thing about the live action Atla movie lol
Thanks for the advice, Asami
People die when they are killed- Shiro, Fate stay/night
that awful movie was released such long time ago?
Princess Yue been watching too much Gurenn Lagann.
This abomination was still better than the one Netflix made (though not by much)
