Legend Of Korra Movie

I think a live action Legend Of Korra movie can be great, so long as we keep these in mind.

Director

We will put up a restraining order if we must: Shaymin is forbidden by federal law to come within fifty feet of production. (If ya ask me, the guy should already be in jail for multipal counts of assasination of the thatrical arts) The new director should be David Yates because he knows how to make a movie. Well, give the job to Tim Burton and he'll rob it of colour.

Time

One of the main reasons the Last Airbender sucked turtle-duck eggs is obviously the timing. Everything was rushed and difficult to follow. You also get the feeling that Shaymin was trying to squeeze the book into ninety minutes, which is why there was not even an attempt to actually keep to one scene for more than three seconds. Because of that, we never got to spend time with the characters and we never grew to care for them, which is essential for the success of any movie.

To fix this, I advise David to not follow this...This - Primitive - idea of Shaymin's that people will hate anything more than ninety minutes. There are plenty of movies out there that run longer and they're wonderful; Titanic reaches the ninety minute point before the iceberg even shows up and The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is over two hours long! And if you insist on it, David, just do what you did before; split it in half! Seeing as Legend Of Korra is shorter and more fast paced then Avatar to begin with, it probably won't come to that, but it's still an option.

Actors

Race should not be that big of a deal in this one because Republic City, where most of the story will be taking place, is a mixture of races, like the US. If we get complaints about that, we'll know these people are just looking for things to complain about. Also, who ever said that these people had to be all around masters of martial-arts? They just need to be physicality fit enough to learn what they need to scene by scene, and anyway the styles have evolved to more modern styles of fighting. Pro-bending, for example; Why would you need to be an expert in kung-fu to punch the air a few times?

Having an all-green cast is a horrible idea. You'll need more experienced actors to take the lead and mentor the greens. Also, there is no excuse for mispronunciation of the word Avatar or of anyone's names. All you have to do is watch the show! Going back to pacing, this paired with stiff acting made the story much less emotional; which is not an option for Legend Of Korra in which romance is a central theme. For more on that, go to my Makorra Essay.

Writing

Lousy script...No emotion...Lazy...No jokes...I guess that about covers it.

Improvements?

Wait! You need to read this! Okay, good. The second half of the book was just one thing after another. We could stand some relaxing scenes, even if they're just small scenes. Also, at the end, and this is my only real beef with the series as a whole: Amon losses the support of his subordinate idiots, so he somehow magically knows that he's wrong? I know that's probably not what really happened, but that's what it seems like. His stupid movement had crashed to the ground and he's suddenly at peace? What?

Also, I think Tahno outta have an expanded role in the movie since he's so popular. He could be bumped up to a supporting character. Hey, maybe he could end up with Asami. Yes, I am Makorra, and I also think Bolin would be cute with Korra's female cousin, but what about Asami? Their kids would certainly have beautiful hair, if nothing else.

Scenes

Coming up will be a few changed/added scenes from the movie that doesn't exist yet. Any idea's? Tell me and I'll post 'em! Some will harken back to the original series, others will be totally origanal.
