Enjoy This Funny Fake Pitch Meeting For M. Night Shyamalan's THE LAST AIRBENDER
I don’t know how in the hell you mess up Avatar: The Last Airbender, but director M. Night Shyamalan did just that when he made that live action adaptation. I’ve actually never watched the film all the way through. I just couldn’t get through it because it was so bad!
Well, we’ve got a new “Pitch Meeting” episode to share with you today that hilariously pokes fun at The Last Airbender in the form of a ridiculous fake movie pitch.
For a brief moment in the early 2000’s, people were referring to M Night Shyamalan as “The Next Spielberg.” With popular hits like The Sixth Sense and Signs, it seemed like the director was going to churn out classic after classic. But then came The Village… Lady in the Water… The Happening… Opinions started to change. Then came “The Last Airbender” in 2010, which not only solidified the new, negative public opinion of Shyamalan, but also enraged fans of the animated series around the world.
The Last Airbender definitely raises a lot of questions. Like why rush through twenty episodes in ninety minutes? Why is there so much narration and exposition? Why are everybody’s names being pronounced weird? Why doesn’t anyone have any personality? Why does bending look so weird? What was up with that Earth Tribe scene? Who thought this was a good idea?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Last Airbender! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Enjoy the pitch meeting for The Last Airbender!
