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.

Finally! This movie was MADE for Pitch meetings. (And is of no use whatsoever to anyone else.)
-
The pitch meeting is thousand times better than the movie .
-
"People love cheese and shredded cheese" "?" "If people love something theyll still love it if you tear it to little pieces" I love that analogy
-
Honestly that scene where 5 guys are all in synchronised dance giving their heart and soul just to move a tiny rock is one of the funniest i have ever scene in movie history
-
"Long ago, the three seasons of Avatar lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Shymalan attacked."
-
Imagine making a movie so bad that they somehow got the name of the main character wrong
-
This movie is like a drunk person trying to explain the first season, mispronouncing the names, forgetting very important things, etc...
-
The fact that they made fire benders, one of the only benders that can create their element, need to have a source of fire to firebend is infuriating
-
“Trying to cram more than 400 minutes of a 20 episode TV season into a hour and a half movie is TIGHT.”
-
“I’m just changing things I don’t know why.” The only sentence you need to describe The Last Airbender.
-
Avatar the Last Air Bender fans: There’s no way anyone can mess up this perfectly good series. M. Night Shamalan: Actually it’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
-
The shredded cheese joke is honestly one of the best lines George has come up with to this day
-
Pretty weird for Ryan to do a Pitch Meeting for a movie that never got made
-
"And the name pronunciations are the same as they are in the show?" "There's absolutely no way to verify that"
-
This movie doesn’t exist, we all have just been on cactus juice, “ it’s the quenchiest”
-
It's been more than 10 years, but it still hurts like it was yesterday.
-
I love how Ryan just made up an entire movie and hired actors to do short scenes, just so that he could do a pitch meeting about a supposed Avatar movie
-
There’s no movie in Ba Sing Se. The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai.
-
This is weird, doing a pitch meeting for a movie that doesn't exist. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PEOPLE.
-
The shredded cheese analogy had me dying 😂
