I don't base the part about the water nation on anything in particular, other than the fact they show a different skin tone that the rest of the other nations, showing and obvious different setting, and of course, basis.

This kinda serves as my main motive to draw my conclusions. Furthermore, if you didn't notice the obvious elements of Asian culture present in the actual show, and the obvious realist martial arts movements used, you need to STFU my friend.

Finally

maybe i need to repeat myself

obviously things about the show are influenced by the real world... our basic image of aliens, WHICH WE'VE NEVER SEEN, is influenced by our world. 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head... cmon, nobody "imagined" that.

obviously i recognize the influence of asian culture and martial arts, ur talkin to the guy that posted ong bak 2 (tony jaa might be the next bruce lee, or he'll just come close)...
it seemed like u were trying to say that they messed up the show by not making it more like what it was influenced by in the first place, which is wrong on every level. if the purpose of the show was to teach u about asian culture that would be different, but its not, its pure entertainment, so no, it doesnt have to be an exact reflection of the real world

No, I said they messed up the movie. If the cartoon is based n something, the movie, if it wants to stay true, must seeks the same overall basis
They white washed the cast. That much is evident.

oh ok, that makes a lot more sense

yea ur right
