Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) or The Last Airbender

2014 beat TLA by a small stretch.

Have you seen the show in it's entirety?

It's one thing to think a show is cute after you've seen a few episodes out of order but it's a whole different experience when you actually follow along the journey from beginning to end.

Star Wars doesn't even compare.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) is a great movie IMO, The Last Airbender is one of the worst movies ever made. Complete garbage.

Yes, I've seen every episode in the correct viewing order. I have nothing against the show at all. I think it's very good.

What do you mean by "the next Star Wars?". This franchise had no shot at being a worldwide phenomenon like SW is. There are very few things that do. That's nothing against ATLA. It's just not on SW's level. And I'm not talking about opinions as to which franchise is better.

Star Wars came at a time when there were little big franchises.

You know what I'd love to see:

A compare/contrast of the Original TMNT (2014) script and the Original Airbender script and their final products.

There's been a leak going around the Avatar Fan Community written by someone who was boots-onna-ground during the Airbender movie production, who pretty much confirmed that the script was amazing, and that it was Hollywood's Power That Be that destroyed that flick in an effort to "make it more acceptable to a broader audience."

As to which murders the source material more efficiently, I can't say yet as I've not seen the new Turtle flick.

i try my hardest to like ATLA - i religiously followed the show, and there are a few moments during the film, when the live action bending was incredible to watch - I wanted the movie to succeed, but ultimately its so darn boring. All the life, and the charm from the series got sucked from it, and worse than that , the dynamic Team Avatar had (developed in the series) was all but lost.

i hate to be mean, but the actress who played Katara; she better be thankful she grew up attractive, otherwise, there isnt much chance she'd play anything ever again, let alone the lead female in TF4.

so in short...Turtles was better; flawed, but better.

TMNT 2014 was just a forgettable action movie, But The Last Airbender is a dull and horrible movie.

If it was done right and had the same impact as the show had on TV then there's no way it wouldn't have been as big as Harry Potter or Star Wars.

All the right ingredients are there: an expansive and detailed world, intricate storytelling, cinematic look, universally acclaimed characters and amazing action set-pieces.

It's just one of those things like Toy Story or Lord of the Rings which would've clicked instantly if done absolutely right!
