Regardless,&nbsp;ATLA will always be an honorary anime in our hearts. And there are hilarious memes on the Internet to prove it.&nbsp;

The Movie Forgets Sokka Is Supposed To Be Funny

Never has there been a more reviled cartoon adaptation than&nbsp;the live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The film takes a <a href="/crowdranked-list/rank-the-best-nickelodeon-cartoon-of-all-time">great Nickeloden cartoon</a>, drags it through the mud, then stomps on Aang&#39;s head for good measure. There are many, many reasons the movie is bad, but the focus here is on how specific elements of the Avatar show were mishandled in the movie.

Overall, there are about a million ways The Last Airbender movie screwed up Avatar, and now many of them are compiled in one handy list. Obviously, the film became a big example of Hollywood&#39;s tendency to <a href="/list/minority-characters-played-by-white-actors/devon-ashby">whitewash casting</a>, since the good guys are turned into Caucasians.

This list isn&#39;t about that, though. This is about all the other things that annoyed Avatar fans. So check out this list to relive the worst things about The Last Airbender movie, and learn what exactly M. Night Shyamalan and his team of filmmakers got wrong about the classic cartoon. Short Answer? Everything.

One of the best things about Avatar: The Last Airbender is that the show never lets you forget that our main characters are young children. But what they&#39;ve left out are the unfiltered quips that young people might throw out.

Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are both animated shows for kids. It isn&#39;t hard to see, though, that the implications of bending are incredibly&nbsp;terrifying. Benders are powerful fighters who can easily cause lethal harm even with the slightest&nbsp;mistake.

To a lot of folks, Avatar: The Last Airbender stands as one of the greatest triumphs in animation. It was a near-perfect story that blended action, heart, humor and a dense mythology accessible to everyone. Although its sequel series,&nbsp;The Legend of Korra, wasn&#39;t met with the same level of praise, it&#39;s still a solid entry in the Avatar series that many people enjoy. Of course, you can&#39;t be a&nbsp;successful show without accumulating <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/avatar-the-last-airbender-fan-revelations/raelyn-giansanti" target="_blank">some wild&nbsp;theories</a> along the way, and with a fan base as passionate as this show&#39;s, you can bet there are some insane&nbsp;<a href="/list/best-avatar-the-last-airbender-season/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Avatar: The Last Airbender</a> fan theories.&nbsp;

Was there actually a very good reason why the live-action movie was so horrible? In this list, you&#39;ll find some of the wackiest fan theories about Avatar: The Last Airbender. Some you might agree with, others you might dismiss as totally nutty. Either way, check out the list below and be sure to comment on what your favorite&nbsp;The Last Airbender&nbsp;theory is!

Avatar: The Last Airbender has swept&nbsp;the nation with its popularity. Here are some generally unknown facts that may surprise you about the beloved show!

Until&nbsp;The Legend of Korra,&nbsp;airbending was all but lost to the world following the Fire Nation&#39;s attack on the Air Nomads during Firelord Sozin&#39;s reign. Avatar Aang, the last airbender, carried this legacy until the birth of his son, Tenzin. Thus, ranking the strongest airbenders proves a bit of a challenge, considering there&#39;s so much new blood in the bending discipline. Nevertheless, there are&nbsp;still a number of powerful airbenders fighting for the top spot. Are you an&nbsp;A:TLA&nbsp;purist and stand by Avatar Aang as the most powerful airbender of all time, or are you more inclined to go with the ever-subversive Zaheer, the anarchist airbender that achieved an airbending feat not seen in thousands of years?

Vote up who you think are the strongest airbenders&nbsp;in the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra!

Animated

Let&#39;s be real for a second: waterbending is arguably the strongest bending style in the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra&nbsp;and nobody is mad about it. With the ability to heal, phase shift the element between a solid, liquid, and a gas, and even control the fluids inside a living creature via bloodbending, waterbending has the potential to be the most dangerous powerset if it&#39;s put in the right (or wrong) hands.&nbsp;

In the years since Aang saved the world from the impending threat of the Fire Nation, many waterbenders have achieved mastery of the art in hyper-specific fields. Are you a fan of Kya&#39;s unparalleled healing abilities, or are you more of a traditionalist that just wants to see Master Pakku utterly destroy some Fire Nation soldiers? This is a list of the strongest waterbenders in&nbsp;ATLA&nbsp;and&nbsp;Korra.&nbsp;Vote up who you think are&nbsp;the strongest waterbenders!
