So, it's been almost a month since I wrote anything for this story and I've honestly been lacking inspiration, so if any of you haven any one-shot or short story ideas, leave them in the reviews and I'll see what I can do. This one takes place in a modern AU setting, where the Gaang has just watched *shudders* the Last Airbender movie, so they still have their usual bending and titles. This one was inspired by one of my recent posts on Tumblr (abbyofthefirenation) since it's my first post to ever get more than 70 notes so here you go. Also, in this modern world, it's just a remake of their adventures to make it more exciting so Aang wasn't really frozen in an iceberg for 100 years and the world wasn't at war etc…


Flop of the Century


It was late at night, and the most famous group in the world had just left the premiere of the movie that was based entirely on them. Based on their reactions, it was safe to say that they didn't like their portrayal in the movie.

"That… wasn't a good movie," Zuko finally said once they were a safe distance away from the theatre.

"It wasn't just 'not a good movie.' It was awful! Completely awful. M. Night Shyamalan should be ashamed of himself!" Sokka exclaimed.

"I'm so glad I wasn't in that movie," Toph said.

Mai nodded in agreement, "That's one thing I'm glad I wasn't a part of."

"It made me cry, and not in a good way," Ty Lee admitted.

"Aang, how could you take my overemotional speech about hope? That's like all I had! Now I'm just… there!" Katara complained.

"It wasn't me, Katara! Okay, it was me but not me, me!" Aang defended himself.

"I wanted to watch How to Train Your Dragon," Zuko said bitterly.

"Even that would've been a better movie," Ty Lee agreed.

"I was only in that play for like, five seconds! And that wrench playing me was nothing like me! They've completely destroyed my legacy!" Azula seethed.

"I'd rather have her as a sister instead of you," Zuko muttered, earning a glare from his actual sister as well as a small lightning strike in front of him that made Zuko cower in fear.

"Please, you're lucky to have me, Zuzu. I should go back to that Agni-forsaken theatre and burn it to the ground!" Azula yelled.

"Normally, I wouldn't be okay with that sort of violence, but as the Avatar I am allowed to make exceptions," Aang conceded.

"Those jerks took my meat and sarcasm and replaced it with ponytail! So much ponytail! I'm not Zuko for Spirits sake!" Sokka exclaimed.

"Hey!" Zuko cried indignantly.

"We hardly had any personality! They rendered us to just… Mai!" Katara complained before she quickly added, "No offence, Mai."

Mai shrugged, "Non-taken."

"And what was up with my tattoos? Clearly that guy has never seen Air Nomad tattoos in his life. I should give him a tutorial sometime," Aang said.

"At first, I was upset that the director cut me from the movie, but now I'm glad that I was. They probably would have some random portraying me given how you guys were portrayed," Suki confessed.

"We definitely caught a break, Fangirl. That guy would've done you dirty just like he did to all of us," Toph consoled her.

Suki's head suddenly perked up, "Hey, wait a minute. Since you guys never met me in the movie, does that mean I'm scrapped from it entirely? I won't even be there in the final battle?"

"Don't waste your breath on it, Suki. It's for the best. I'd rather not be in the movie at all after how they portrayed me! None of our portrayals were accurate," Katara complained.

"They could've at least hired actors who actually resembled us instead of those clowns they put up there," Sokka added.

"Does my scar honestly look that bad?" Zuko asked as he looked at his eye in his phone camera.

"They made your scar look even worse Zuko. They need to hire better makeup artists. Hey, they should hire the Kyoshi Warriors! We know how to use makeup," Ty Lee suggested.

Suki shook her head, "No way. If they're going to cut me from the movie, I don't want to help them with their awful affects."

"That so-called director doesn't even know a THING about firebending! He said that Sozin's Comet would give firebenders the power to use our own chi to create fire!" Azula yelled.

"Isn't that how firebending works?" Mai asked.

"Yes! And that old gasbag playing father didn't even resemble him! He had no long hair or beard and was hardly terrifying at all!" Azula shrieked.

"I'd much rather have him as a father too," Zuko muttered darkly.

"Were the affects any good at least?" Toph asked.

Sokka shrugged, "The affects were decent. But for a 150-million-dollar budget movie, they could've done better."

"Speaking of the affects, why does it take five minutes of dance movies for me to bend anything?" Aang asked.

"Like I said, this guy clearly doesn't understand a thing about bending," Azula muttered.

"I bet if we made a movie of our own it would be better than that flop!" Sokka proclaimed.

"Even the Abridged Series was better than that movie," Katara said.

"Can I just say, I know that the Fire Nation isn't exactly the most… nicest nation but would they really rage war on the rest of the world?" Ty Lee asked.

"Probably," Toph replied.

"Wasn't Zhao only an Admiral, though?" Mai asked.

"The world wouldn't have been able to handle Zhao with the title as General. He was bad enough as he was as an Admiral. Thank Agni father was just a governor. Who knows what he would've done with some title like Fire Lord," Zuko replied.

"I think we can all agree that movie was just a gigantic waste of our time," Sokka declared.

"Horrible," Suki agreed.

"I wish I could take back those hours that I wasted," Azula said.

"All we can do now is hope that the next movie won't be as bad as that," Aang said.

"There's gonna be a sequel!" Sokka yelled.

"Well, it was kind of implied. Nothings been confirmed yet, though," Aang replied.

"Let's hope that there isn't a sequel," Katara muttered.

Toph nodded in agreement, "Then I won't have to deal with their horrible portrayal of me."

"At least we get to keep these cool 3D glasses," Sokka said.

"Why did you guys even get me a pair?" Toph asked, "I can't even see!"

"For the full experience!" Sokka exclaimed.

"So, what do we do now?" Suki asked.

"Well, we could either go over to Uncle's and have some tea, so we can try and wipe those memories from our brains, or we could go to M. Night Shyamalan's house and make him wish that he never made that awful movie," Azula suggested.

"Sounds like a plan!" Sokka agreed.

"I'm all for that," Katara added.

"As the Avatar, I should be advising you guys against these heinous actions," Aang pointed out.

"But you're not going to, aren't you?" Toph asked knowingly.

Aang nodded, "Like I said, I'm allowed to make exceptions every once in a while."

"This time it would be justifiable," Mai said.

"After we destroy his house, we should take selfies!" Ty Lee exclaimed.

"Oh, Ty Lee. We're not just going to destroy his house," Azula muttered darkly.

Without even questioning Azula, the group made their way towards M. Night Shyamalan's house where they unleashed their inner fury. After that, it was no surprise to them when he announced that there wouldn't be a sequel to the Last Airbender movie.


And there's that. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I haven't actually watched the live action movie, but based on the reactions that I've seen, I don't think I need to. Basically, the Gaang's reaction from this one-shot is what I've gathered so I'm not gonna waste my time on that movie, just like I'm sure most of those who did wish they didn't. Like I said, feel free to leave any requests as long as they're short and check out my other works as well.
