1. Powerful People
This is the easiest scene to make fun of in the entire movie. It's such a joke...it feels like every take they used was just practice, and the dialogue was just so terrible.
Aang of course has to point out the obvious to the earthbenders who are too scared/stupid to fight off their captures even with earth all around them the whole time...
2. Words of Wisdom
M. Night Shyamalan made a pretty odd comment in this interview, and I thought it fit well with this scene.
I didn't use the EXACT quote, but I still think it's funny with this scene.
3. Dig It
Sigh...
M. Night Shyamalan is just so oblivious that it's painful.
"You're always going to get the vocal negative opinions but the fanbase digs it, the kids really got it."
No...we did NOT "dig it". *facepalm*
And the whole "distracting" thing bugs me too. Apparently "sometimes things are so good that they're distracting", and that's his reasoning for cutting out the Kyoshi Warrior scenes that he shot.
Every time he mentions martial arts I want to slap him. Most of the martial arts and bending in the movie just looked ridiculous. It takes ten minutes for a bender to move their element, and it looks more like an awkward dance than fighting.
And the fact that he took out ALL of the humor (and the stuff he put in the script and shot) is just pathetic.
4. FROM THE LIBRARY
The script for the Last Airbender was just so awful, and I can't be the only one that noticed Zhao mentioning the Secret/Great Library every two seconds.
M. Night didn't ever think to SHOW the Library in a flashback...he had to have Zhao SAY it every two seconds to make sure everyone knew where he got those scrolls from. *facepalm*
5. Appa
The way M. Night handled Appa was one of his biggest crimes. It was just pathetic how little he did, and he had absolutely no personality. His name was only mentioned once, and Aang showed no signs of attachment to him.
6. Lemurs
Thousands you say? HA! They're all dead! Thousands of lemur bones!
...too soon?
7. Quality Dialogue
"Everyone is fighting everyone"
.....
Really, M. Night? REALLY?
8. It's True!
I felt like using this little vague Avatar Abridged (by GanXingba) reference to point out the obvious. The reference is from episode 9.
I hate how the movie jumped from scene to scene and place to place without any time to breathe...
(There actually is a transition (a bad one) between the Southern Water Tribe and the Southern Air Temple, but I just wanted to use these scenes.)
9. The Narrator
Katara (much like Appa) didn't do anything significant in the movie...other than narrating when M. Night was too lazy to actually tell the story.
But for one brief scene, Zhao has his own little narration... It's really just exposition dialogue that overlaps with a shot of the gaang on Appa, but sometimes it was hard to tell the difference between exposition dialogue and narration in the movie.
10. Small Rocks Everywhere
Another comic making fun of the worst scene of the movie...which is saying something.
11. A Year Ago
I can't believe how much things have changed...
12. The Pretty Girls
The "pretty girls" line always stuck in my head for some reason, and the scene with Zuko standing over Katara after he basically threw her against a tree was just creepy. O.o
The scene with Zuko and Iroh drinking tea was actually one of the few good parts of the movie, and Iroh was very Iroh-y.
13. Koh's Dreams Destroyed
I was really looking forward to seeing Koh all live-actiony, but that never came to be...
At least I found out about it months before the movie came out, so I got the disappointment out of the way early.
I guess I should consider it a blessing that Koh wasn't in the movie though. It would have soiled his reputation...
14. Sozin's Comet
Having the firebenders require a source to firebend isn't necessarily a terrible idea, but the way M. Night Shyamalan handled firebending in general is going to lead to a lot of problems later on...
Based on what was said in the movie, Sozin's Comet will basically just let them create their own fire (OUT OF NOTHING!!!11). And that's it...
15. M. Night Alone
If M. Night Shyamalan would just admit that he isn't the best at writing dialogue (at least not for something like the Last Airbender), he could have hired a writer or two to help him. And the movie could have been a lot better...
16. More Quality Dialogue
I think I went a little overboard with Sokka's expressions, but the dialogue was just THAT BAD...
17. Babies?
So...according to the movie Katara and Sokka's mom was TAKEN AWAY when they were BABIES (yes, babies...), and I guess they just assumed she was killed/died. It's a good thing to assume, but having it like how it was in the show would have just been easier.
And why did Katara have to say babies? Were they really babies? This is a great example of how M. Night's terrible dialogue could have been easily fixed a lot of the time with a simple change in his word choices.
18. My Worst Nightmare
I was always afraid that I would be able to compare some of the acting and dialogue in the Last Airbender to the Star Wars prequels...
Something about Aang's lines in this scene reminded me of Anakin in episode 1 of Star Wars.
19. Dev Patel
I laughed when I read the articles with Dev Patel talking about how he had "doubts" about the script, but then M. Night talked to him and he ended up being in the movie.
20. Zhao Claws
It was already hard to take Zhao seriously in the movie, but when he did that claw things with his hands I almost fell out of my chair. I just thought it looked ridiculous and goofy.
21. We Could Be Friends
I appreciate that M. Night wanted to keep that line in the movie, but it just came out of nowhere. Without the right context the line is just worthless.
Don't ask me why M. Night is pulling on Zuko's cheek...I don't even know.
22. Games
It sure would be been nice to see Aang actually SHOWING that he liked games...
23. Katackle
This scene is just...UGH! I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a rehearsal that they filmed by accident. It's just so stilted and ridiculous. *facepalm*
Katara pushed the guard just for questioning Aang, and then everyone just stands around like they're waiting for M. Night to tell them what to do.
If you look closely at the soldier with the spear (the one not doing anything...), it looks like he's giving a thumbs up after Katara tackles the other soldier. lol
www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0YRQCoJAN8
It's around 0:14
24. Appa 2
Taking away Appa's heart, soul, personality, and role as Aang's best friend was one of the biggest (of not THE biggest) crimes in the movie.
M. Night said in an interview that Appa being stolen was such an important part of the show to him that he couldn't get the script to work without keeping it...which makes no sense because there was no bond established between Aang and Appa in the first movie...
25. Dig It, Dig It
Not one of my funniest comics, but I've wanted to make it since M. Night said that the fans "dig" the movie.
If you don't get the reference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqrwXcOFotw
26. The Gaang?
I didn't feel any sort of bond between the "gaang" in the movie, and it was just pathetic.
The movie starts with a brother and sister that find a mysterious boy that turns out to be the Avatar...and it ends with a brother and a sister that traveled around the world with the Avatar.
He's their "responsibility" not their friend.
27. Appa 3
Seriously...where was Appa that whole time?!
Did he just abandon Aang as soon as he saw Fire Nation soldiers walking around the temple? And how did he and Aang find each other again?
28. FROM THE LIBRARY! 2
That creepy gang of waterbenders that killed Zhao weren't really waterbenders. They were some of Wan Shi Tong's foxy knowledge seekers.
Overdue library books are taken very seriously at the GREAT LIBRARY!!!
29. Just One Take
I refuse to believe that everyone was satisfied with how that earthbending scene turned out...
30. Decline
I liked all of M. Night Shyamalan's movies before the Happening (yes, even Lady in the Water).
31. A Role for M. Night
These are some roles that were guesses for M. Night's cameo. Back when the movie looked like it had potential...
I can't find the article, but M. Night said something about genocide being one of his favorite things or something. That's obviously not what he really meant, but it was still hilarious.
32. When I Knew It Would Suck...
Please, M. Night Shyamalan...explain to me why Katara reading a Power Point presentation is better than using these epic shots to start the film:

33. Pop the Bubble
Someone really needs to pop the little bubble M. Night Shyamalan lives in.
Maybe Squidward can...
34. A Vague Reference
This is a very vague reference to Egoraptor's Girlchan in Paradise series on Newgrounds.
Go to 6:23 for the part I referenced: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5_DVBWgwY
I recommend watching all three episodes. It's quite a hilarious series.
35. Poor Noah
Noah Ringer seems like such a fun kid, but M. Night just sucked all the life out of him. Why couldn't Aang be the fun loving kid that Noah was on set?
36. Moving at the Speed of Plot
The main reason I didn't like the movie was because it was impossible to care about the characters. Every time they got a chance to show a bit of their personalities (with bad acting and dialogue usually...), the scene had to end to make room for the plot. There just wasn't any time to get to know the characters, and there was no room to breathe.
37. Following Orders
I could write a book about what was wrong with the earthbending scene...it was just AWFUL is every way imaginable.
If you're going to do a long shot like that, you have to make sure everything is planned and choreographed perfectly. This definitely wasn't the case with the Last Airbender...
