I'm completely boggled that they changed the pronunciation of most of the names. I don't even...what's more than boggled? Croggled? Floggled? What on earth purpose could that possibly serve, other than to totally alienate whatever fans of the series were left after the racebending fail? How could anyone, let alone someone who claims that he mostly did the movie because his kids are such passionate and devoted fans of the series, think that was anything but an insanely bad idea?

Maybe the changed pronunciation fits with their pale pale skin better?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that can be Shyamalan's latest defense of his movie. His changes led to a more accurate depiction of real Airbenders and what-not.

I think he said that was the more Asian pronunciation.

I was just talking to my best friend at work about the train wreck that is TLA.
And he said "Yeah, but c'mon. The source material SUCKED!!!"
I need to go lie down.
