And they changed Jesse McCartney to Dav Patel. DAV PATEL! ARE THEY CRAZY? I would rather watch Jesse as Zuko even he acts nothing like him! No offense but Dav is U-G-L-Y and dark skinned. And Zuko is H-O-T and light skinned. If they don't change him at least, i am not watching. i really don’t care about the race

The huge wall is similar to China's great wall. It is also located in the middle of all the other nations (thus, China is the middle kingdom). Sorry just clearing that out :) And yeah the airbenders are based off shaolin monks, not tibetan monks unless you're a pre-Tibetan protester, lol.

I have seen you tube guys better than these jokes. If there is no money for the right cast, we (the fans) will wait for the movie. I am shocked and disgusted in the cast selection for this movie.

THIS is. Part 2: The Language of Casting http://vejiicakes.livejournal.com/255699.html This one examines the language used in the casting sheets which were posted around the net.
