#there was a shitton wrong with that movie but fixing Bryke's fucking weeb ass mispronuciations was NOT one of them
#''wow Bryke put SO much research into making bending based on martial arts!!!111!''
#and yet they can't pronounce names like Sokka or Mai correctly
#even tho Mai is ONE. FUCKING. SYLLABLE.
#IT'S ONE SYLLABLE. AND SAID LIKE A WORD IN ENGLISH. AND THEY STILL FUCKED IT UP
#AND IF THEY WANTED HER TO HAVE A NAME THAT SOUNDED LIKE ''May'' THE NAME MEI IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE
#BUT THEY ONLY CARED ABOUT THE ANIME AESTHETIC LIKE THE FUCKING WHITE BOY WEEBS THEY ARE
#AND NOT ABOUT THE ACTUAL FUCMING CULTURE
#so while the white washing and racist implications that came with it in live action ATLA movie were terrible
#(i.e. the water tribe sibs should NOT have been white and the Fire Nation peeps should NOT have been dark skinned)
#M Night being like ''u know what let's bother to actually pronounce names correctly''
#was not the fucking problem with that adaptation
#signed - someone who wishes TDP fans would shut up forever about ATLA for the love of fucking god
