“Like why tf do they pronounce Aang Ong”

I got very angry one day thinking about this and decided i gotta know. I spent a few hours looking through interviews and articles and i finally found an answer. Apparently when Shyamalan was a kid watching movies and tv shows he noticed that most Indian and Hindu names we pronounced differently than how he had heard them. This was something that always bugged him because he knew that’s not how they are supposed to be pronounced. So when he became the director for avatar he had a chance to correct this with Aang and Sokka (originally Hindu(i think?) names), in his movie these characters names would be said properly. He does this ignoring the fact that Aang and Sokka aren’t Hindu, Hindu doesnt even exist in that world so the ways words are pronounced are just the ways they are pronounced. And completely blind to the irony that he is doing **exactly** the thing he hates, *to* the people that love the show. Because we know how their names should be pronounced. Did he really think that changing the names of 2 of the most beloved characters in the show, 2 of the 3 main characters, would be something that the well established and large fanbase would just be cool with!?!? And not even attempt to tell people why it has been changed? He did for himself, he either didn’t even think about fan reaction when he made this decision and actively ignored anyone that told him people would hate it, or has his head so far up his own ass that he thinks he can just change a fanbase like that, “I’m gunna change character names and how the world works and everyone is gunna love it! “This is what Avatar is now” they’ll say to themselves”. Fuck you M. Night Shitmaker!
