M. Night Shyamalan’s Reasons For Changing Some Aspects of Avatar: Last Airbender:

1.) Firebenders can control fire, but can’t create fire in the movie. REASON: He felt that it was unfair how all the other benders could not create their element and firebenders could.

2.) Name pronunciations. Sokka is pronounced Soaka, Aang is pronounced Ung, Avatar is pronounced Ughvatar. REASON: He felt that since this is an Asian based cartoon, he should use the “Asian” pronuciation of the names to be respectful.

3.) Kyoshi Warriors are not in the movie. REASON: He had originally shot numerous scenes with them but in the end, to move the story along, he cut them out.

I HATE THESE CHANGES, But one change I wouldn’t mind happening: Zuko and Katara Love instead of Aang and Katara Love. I’m a Zutara fan…deal with it.
