A/N: Guest character appearances from the Nickelodeon show Avatar: The Last Airbender are featured in a supporting role.

In this twenty-third non-canon review of the story, team RWBY are visited by several familiar characters of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, as the four members of RWBY had finally decided to review another M. Night Shyamalan movie, this time being the 2010 critically-panned live-action 3D movie adaptation of the Avatar series, The Last Airbender. With the help of the Avatar: The Last Airbender characters as well as the Mantle politician Robyn Hill subsequently, our Team RWBY will have to face their inner spirits in order to get through this atrocious film.

RWBY's Commentary of The Last Airbender (Part 1)

THE EMERALD FOREST

At the abandoned temple in the northern part of the Emerald Forest, Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss were all sitting down and meditating together, eyes closed and holding each other's hands while they sat in a diamond position.

"Concentrate, girls.", someone said near the girls.

The one who spoke was in fact Zuko, as we then see a few Avatar: The Last Airbender characters with him including Sokka, Aang, Katara and Toph.

"Absorb every episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender to review the movie...", mentors Zuko.

Ruby asked, "Why can't we just watch the shows again?"

"It takes too long, and the franchise had already suffered enough at the hands of the fuck-up director M. Night Shyamalan. But besides that, another live-action show is coming to Netflix eventually which will hopefully be faithful and more autentic than the movie did.", Katara says.

Sokka supported, "That's why you need to get in contact with a past life to see if any of them had seen the show."

"Thus absorbing it into your memory.", Aang smiled happily.

Yang mutters to herself, "'You mean like how you should absorb a new hairstylist?'", before she suddenly lets go of Ruby's hand whilst meditating as she mistakenly hits herself due to being under the influence of Aang's bloodbending, "OW! You know, we thought bloodbending was supposed to be taboo. Like nobody should have that unlimited control.", saying this as she takes Ruby's hand again during their meditation.

"Well, M. Night Shyamalan had gotten unlimited control with the movie and nobody stopped him!", Aang and Katara both said.

Ruby, Blake and Weiss clarified, "That's true.", as Aang bloodbends all four members of team RWBY and forces them to hit themselves once again.

"D'OWW!", yelled out team RWBY.

Toph firmly told them, "Now concentrate harder!"

Team RWBY groans and began concentraing harder. As they meditated together with their eyes closed, they suddenly remembered memories of the show...

"Wait... We...we think we're getting it. Yeah... We think we're getting visions from another life...", Ruby recognized with her eyes closed.

Yang realizes as Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph and Zuko smiled together and looked proud for the girls, "My God, it-it's coming to me. Ingenious writing, brilliant characters, and a fanbase obsessing over name pronunciation rather than the meaning of each episode. BY GODS! IT'S COMING TO US!"

"Girls? You okay? You got it now, team RWBY?", Sokka questioned.

Blake and Weiss answered, "Yes! Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest animated series, and in general, TV series of all fucking time!"

"Good. Now you're ready to review that fuck-up Shyamalan's disaster opus.", prepared and warned Zuko.

Ruby insists, "But wait...just because we know about it doesn't mean everyone knows about it. How are we gonna catch them up to speed?"

"Well...there is only one option.", Aang and Toph replied, "By song."

Zuko sighed and said, "One song can't hurt. As long as it's a good one though."

"Maybe team RWBY should do the honors.", Katara and Sokka suggested.

Ruby nodded, "No problem. Let's do a recap, team RWBY."

"Right.", Yang, Blake and Weiss nod to their team leader.

Ruby pulls out an acoustic guitar, strumming once as they start the beginning of the song.

Ruby and Yang: Spoilers... (Blake and Weiss: Spoilers...) Team RWBY: Spoilers...

Qrow Branwen then appears during the start of the song as he said wisely and cynically, "If I were you, I'd skip this song to avoid spoilers if you haven't watched or finished the show yet.", smugly before walking off.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Spoiler Alert

Ruby: Oooooohhhhhhh... Four nations exist called Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, till Fire decided things should get hotter,
Invasions aren't nice, but then to break the ice, Aang the Avatar rose to make them pay the price,

Yang: Katara and Sokka help him to keep in the know, flying what looks like a white Neighbor Totoro,
Chased by their foe, a young prince named Zuko, don't ask him about his scar or Hook's Rufio,

Blake and Weiss: The Avatar masters the elements flawlessly, toughest of Tophs turned his blind eye so cautiously,
Avatar State opens at a great rate, but Azula serves his arrowed ass on a plate,

Ruby: Katara revises him and they sing their love song, but Zuko decides this emo shit's gone too long
He switches sides 'at the turn of the tide', and now Aang is on fire with his smoking guide!

Yang: Katara and Zuko beat Azula on the cuff, mostly because she is coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs,
Aang's feeling ill 'cause he don't want to kill, but the cowardly Lion Turtle says 'Hold still...',

Blake and Weiss: He's given the gift to depower the Fire Lord, Nation says 'Whatever', Zuko can lead the horde,
Go and live happily in the world that is free, just remember that it's thanks to baldy!

All 4: So that is the show and it's good that you know, because it is the best as good cartoon shows go
And so now that you heard, go ahead, spread the word that the best Avatar ain't that blue pussy turd!
Now on with the review!

End of Avatar: The Last Airbender Spoilers

Their song ends as their movie review finally begins.


The Last Airbender

As Team RWBY return to their dorm room to review The Last Airbender, Ruby began, "So judging from the beginning, the film actually looks pretty promising, reenacting the visuals to the show's intro rather flawlessly. Even the text scroll isn't really that bad. Though how is it a season with 20 episodes can get their backstory off faster than an hour and a half movie can?", as the movie began and shown the text scroll recapping the show's opening premise, "But sadly...we witness the greatest weakness of any Shyamalan film... They start talking.", as the four saw a scene with Katara and Sokka from the Southern Water Tribe with the former's monologue having the word food said twice, "Yeah, way to use "food" twice in the same sentence, Academy Award-nominated writer."

"This borebending you're witnessing is being performed by the siblings of the Water Tribe named Katara and Sokka. And yes, the climate is looking much whiter than usual. And we don't think taking away the snow is gonna fix that any. This is curious as in the show, Katara and Sokka definitely seem to have an Inuit design. And that makes sense; their upbringing is very similar to Eskimo culture. Strangely enough, the rest of the village seems to have this down. But with these two, we think Kathy Bates from North was a more convincing fake Eskimo. But we're not judging the color of their skin, only the quality of their acting.", Yang responded and explains.

Blake dealt, "And we're sure if these two acted so well that they just seem perfect for the part like nobody else can do it better, maybe we can overlook the color difference and see past all that...", before looking over a scene with Sokka in the movie, "Oh no... They both succumbed to the dreaded Hayden Christensen Syndrome! Stop it! Your monotone can break glass!", summarizing afterwards, "But they come across something while hunting.", then imagining, "I think Sokka's like, 'It's a good movie trying to get out. Kill it.'"

"They discover a boy named Aang frozen in an iceberg, along with his... Where the Wild Things Are mascot, and take him back to the village. So is this kid's acting just as bad as the other two? Does Shyamalan like awkward shots where people look directly into the camera?", questions Weiss, looking flabbergasted with her teammates over a scene with Aang and Katara in the movie, "Okay, seriously...am I watching a school play? This all seems like a school play. I mean, I know they're kids. I shouldn't be so harsh. But did anybody give these little pipsqueaks some direction?"

The leader of team RWBY shrugs, "Who knows? Maybe Sokka, the funny and inventive wisecracker who always has a ton of funny lines in the show, can lighten up the mood.", as she and her three other teammates watch a scene with Sokka in the movie, as team RWBY were unamazed by his acting, "...I'm sorry. Did they confuse funny and inventive with constipatedly angry all the time?", asking this as she says, "He's the biggest stick-in-the-mud the movie has to offer. And that's saying a lot! There's a lot of sticks-in-the-mud in this movie! Sokka in this movie looks like he's gonna shit out a soap opera every time you're on screen! Even the animated Sokka would make fun of him!", before saying, "But things heat up when the evil and sinister Fire Nation arrives."

The blonde elder sister of Ruby synopsizes, "This is Prince Zuko, a firebender who is looking to capture the Avatar so he can be unbanished and get his honor back from his father the king. In the show, the father burned almost half of his face off. Here...I think he forgot to put sunblock under his eye or something.", notifying after they see a snippet where Aang agrees to go with Zuko during the Fire Nation's arrival to the Southern Water Tribe's location after he threatens to burn their village, "Another interesting note; in the movie, the Fire Nation seems very Indian or Middle-Eastern. Another curious choice, as the show had a much heavier lean towards Japanese. In fact, their skin was lighter than our main heroes. And here, it kind of seems perplexingly reversed."

"We don't want to make an unnecessary racism argument, especially seeing how an Indian man directed this, but I will let out a very concerned and very troubled 'Huh?'. But hey, if you can't see the OBVIOUS similarities between the movie's designs and the show's designs, clearly, you haven't drank enough cactus juice. We mean, by gods, can you guys imagine constantly misrepresenting characters by constantly getting their skin colors wrong? Atrocious, if you ask us.", queried the Faunus, "So Zuko comes and takes Aang away. Thus, Sokka and Katara decide they have to go after him. Why? Well, again in the show, it's because they formed a strong, unbreakable friendship with him. They spend time getting to know him, warmed up to his offbeat personality, and found that they couldn't let an innocent that they've gotten to know so well be tortured by the Fire Nation."

The heiress supported her girlfriend's opinion, "But, hell with that bullshit! Let's make it more like that stray turtle you found on the curb of the road! Katara would've been like, 'I promise I'll feed him and take him on walks!', as if it is some sort of now adopted animal!", resuming; "But their grandmother reveals that Aang is in fact the Avatar, the only one who can master all four elements and communicate with the spirit world.", watching the moment where Kanna (Katara's grandmother) said to her daughter that spirits live among them yet watching them with great sadness, "She would've also said, 'Or maybe that's the audience. Either way, great sadness.'"

"Zuko and his uncle Iroh give Aang a test and see that all the elements gravitate towards him...even though this never happens anywhere else in the movie, but screw it! We have a hastily rushed escape scene to film, which in the series demonstrates quite clearly how the firebenders do everything in their power to stop them. But here, they were barely able to stop them and just kind of blankly stare at them getting away. But if blank stares could kill...they'd still probably get away.", disappointed Ruby as she furthermore explained, "Oh, and you ever wonder how he was frozen in that iceberg to begin with? Well, once again, the original ingeniously tied in both backstories of Zuko and Aang together and showed that upon his discovery of being Avatar, he couldn't take the pressure and ran away, being pushed to the brink of despair and froze himself before drowning in the storm. Many consider the Avatar episode The Storm to be the best episode seeing how it shows the similarities between our hero and our villain... Good thing it's just a sentence-and-a-half explanation here. The person talking about it doesn't even show up on screen."

Yang continued as they watched the movie and heard Katara tell Aang's backstory that was explained in the actual show, "But hey, that's just one of the minor major plot devices that probably should've been explored more. Missing also is Suki, Jet, the pirates, Bumi, the fortuneteller, the Warriors of Kyoshi, Sokka's sense of humor, Katara's strength and motherly wisdom, and any form of fun and enjoyability that the show was so good at balancing out. BUT...it's okay. Because we have that guy, Assif Mandvi, from The Daily Show!", shocking the four girls, "So Aang and his team travel to his home in the Southern Air Temple, where he thinks he'll find the monks that raised him.", before watching the part where Katara asks Aang of his name, in which the latter told the monks chose his name as Aang.

"Wait a minute! You traveled all this way, all this distance, and not once did you ever ask him his name?! Although you basically asked him earlier but recieved no answer?!-!? You know, for a kid you claim to be your responsibility, getting his name might be the most important step in protecting him! Imagine if you did something basic, like lose him in a crowd!", Blake scenarioed, "Katara would be like, 'Help! I've lost my little boy! He's my responsibility, and I can't lose him at any cost!', and another person would ask, 'Well, what's his name?' 'I... Starts with an "A", I think.' 'Allison?' 'I'm gonna say yes.'", continuing nonetheless, "And by the way, just a fun little tidbit, they do pronounce the names different from the show as well."

Seeing many examples of the movie pronouncing the characters' names differently from the show, Weiss clarified, "To harp on this would be too hypocritical, but luckily, the film gives us so much more that we can harp on, like this one. After disguising Aang as a Jawa, they come across a boy named Haru, who is chased for bending stones at Fire Nation soldiers.", watching a scene where the Fire Nation soldiers arrest our heroes of the movie, "So they place them all in a prison of earthbenders where-", before noticing as they saw that the Earthbender prison was surrounded by the earth itself, "God...wait a fuck! This is the prison for earthbenders?!", ranting, "We're sorry, we're really sorry, we know it gets really annoying every single time we say "in the show", because it's an adaptation. Adaptations, you gotta make changes, we understand that, we really understand that, but... It's gotta be changes that make sense, guys!"

"So...in the show...", the leader of team RWBY grimaced, "The prison is on a metal ship, where no earthbending is possible, and thus, it breaks their spirit because they can't get away! They are powerless to stop them. Here, THEY'RE FUCKING SURROUNDED BY THE STUFF! Aang makes a big speech about rising up and fighting back, where in the show it's justified - and Katara - but still justified because there's a big risk. They have something to lose. Here, it's like saying "walk through a revolving door"! There's nothing to be lost! It's like having an ice-cream-bender at Baskin Robbins, and saying "how the hell am I gonna"- YOU'RE AN ICE-CREAM-BENDER! USE YOUR FUCKING MIIIIIIND!"

Ruby's blonde sister uninterestingly says, "Sure enough, they do start fighting back, and it's about time. We wanna see some badass earthbending effects brought to life by some state-of-the-art effects...", before she, Ruby, Blake and Weiss suddenly see seven earthbenders using the Earth to block an attack by the two firebenders to protect two people, as the seven earthbenders struck a pose right after the attack seemingly, before a floating boulder flies past as another earthbender uses the boulder to attack one of the firebenders.

Shocked, the four team members of team RWBY leaned down and buried their face in their hands, rubbing their eyes in adversity.

"...Is that really the extent of your imagination, Shyamalan? Is that really the wide range of possibilities that you could pull off with this scenario? Earthbending. Earthbe-", ranted the blonde huntress before stomping her foot on the ground in anger, "Earth...bending! ...Taking the elements of Earth, the fucking planet, and bending it to your will! ...And this is the poor fuck-ass piece of shit you could come up with? Okay...let us give you a crash course, or a reminder, as someone who has clearly seen the show, what just one...ONE...earthbender can do.", before team RWBY showed many examples of the show showing a single Earthbender's true power and strength through their abilities.

The black-haired Faunus reminded, "One. That was all one earthbender in every single one of those scenes. Now, let's see what, uh, one, two, three, four, five- Five! Or six! ...six of your shitty-ass earthbenders from your piece of fuck film could accomplish.", as the four showed the same current scene in the film showing the five earthbenders and their seemingly petty move, "They're all like, 'I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT! SHORT! AND! STOUT!', and another earthbender is like, 'Don't worry, guys! I'll take care of 'em! Take that!'"

"Now, just as a friendly reminder, this is what five guys could do in that...other show you claim to be such a big fan of.", exampled Weiss as they shown another example of the show where five earthbenders literally chuck a tank like a toy, "THAT WAS A TANK! A FUCKING TANK! Five guys- TANK!", stammering, "And what did your pussies do again?!", the girls watching over the scene from the movie again as the four look back in between them as she, Ruby, Yang and Blake all said, "Your version. Theirs. Your version. Theirs. Your version, theirs, Your version, theirs, Your version, theirs-"

Ruby screamed angrily, "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?!", calmly saying a moment afterwards, "Have you no passion for possibility? Have you no understanding this...barrel of Miyazaki that you could unleash with this creativity? We mean- What is your major malfunction, you...sucker of talent and good? What is going on in your head? Please! Contact us! Let us know! Let us know what the flying fuck has caused you to become so uninspired when this stuff has practically gift-wrapped it for you and just said, 'Make me incredible! Make me incredible!' Please! Get in contact with us! Get in co-"

Suddenly, the four girls were interrupted by the five Avatar characters again.

"Uh, girls? There's someone giving a video call for you girls. You haven't noticed that the person might've tried calling you many times already. Five, six times, maybe?", Aang reminded them.

Ruby realized, "Oh, shit!", as she quickly pulls out her ringing scroll, answering the video call.

The five Avatar: The Last Airbender characters join the four RWBY members as they see the person contacting them.

Robyn Hill.

"Hi, guys. Sorry to call you this moment, but I've recently heard you guys were...kinda disappointed by the live-action theatrical edition to the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise. I'm like to tell you that I understand how Shyamalan's films like this had discovered how to take any performer's acting ability away.", Robyn said to them.

Ruby gloomed, "We know. Shyamalan kinda has a thing for talentbending."

"And I agree that those who think Shyamalan isn't badly powerful, just look at what he did to Mark Wahlberg in The Happening as a friendly reminder.", the Mantle politician pointed out.

Yang sighed, "Please don't bring that movie up."

"He seems like a critically-acclaimed Oscar-nominated actor from The Departed, isn't he?", Aang and Katara said.

Sokka and Zuko groaned, "Now we know the Shyamalan acting in other films feels about the same as the Last Airbender movie!"

"Yeah, I do hope that he doesn't go too far in making a Legend of Korra film-", Hill hoped drastically, cringing at the thought.

Blake responded, "Oh, hell no. Most likely not gonna happen with Shyamalan around on the director's chair. No way."

"But that seems to be a fresh start! A chance to get a new audience! As long as the director isn't Shyamalan!", Weiss reasoned.

Robyn tells them, "Rest assured, if a Legend of Korra would ever happen by M. Night Shyamalan, then the franchise would be destroyed forever. But the fact is, we're all glad that due to the disappointments of The Last Airbender franchise for critics and audiences, it will never happen. So, I'll be going over to see you girls and have a conversation for how it turned out. But no need to fret, benders. I always have been and always will be on your side of the greater good. Okay, then. See you later.", before ending the video call.

"Well, girls, it seems that all hope for you four reviewing the rest of this franchise-ruining disappointment rests with you.", said Toph with respect, as she and the other four Avatar: The Last Airbender characters Aang, Katara, Sokka and Zuko left the dorm room.

Ruby sighed, "Alright, guys.", to the Avatar characters, "If you don't mind us, we're gonna take a short break and then review the rest of the film.", before team RWBY decides to take a short break from reviewing The Last Airbender.

To be continued...
