AVATAR EDITING!!!

[sugerbabeninja]

Did you know that in the UK when Nicktoons showed the episode 'The Blind Bandit' in the scene where Toph is first fighting the Boulder one on one I was HORRIFIED to notice Nicktoons edited the scene so you don't actually see The Boulder falling and being forced to do the splits by Tophs first earthbending move. Instead when Toph makes her first earthbending move against The Boulder and The Boulder is about to slip it cuts back to Aangs face and you only hear The Boulders grunt as he slips to the floor, thus cutting out a funny slapstick joke. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING !!! I’m a huge Avatar fan and I taped the episode and only noticed this edit when I rewinded the scene and saw it again. I’ve seen many noticeable cartoons edits in my life but this has to be the dumbest edit ever and for what reason? Were they worried that little kids should not see a person being forced to do the splits? It’s not like she hit him in the, you known where. It’s the Avatar for Pete’s sake there are scenes where giant balls of fire is thrown at people but they're not edited! The edited scene looked silly anyway and they ruined a very popular (and one of my favourite) Toph moments. My little brother hasn’t even seen the unedited version but he could still tell it was edited. I hope they never ever ever do this again. It’s hard enough that we have to wait a while after the USA but this editing is taking the Mickey. It call on every single Avatar fan (UK or non UK) out there to complain to Nicktoon UK (in emails, letters anything) and demand they show the scene unedited. It’s not fair we’re not seeing 100% of an episode an Avatar fan would otherwise see in the USA. If anyone reading this does not know what I am talking about just go to youtube.com there are a lot of music videos dedicated to Toph and you can see the unedited version of that scene.
P.S Sorry I sound too angry I still like Nickelodeon but as you’ve probably guessed it I really really hate edits.

Dude! That is messed up! I mean do they edit out Sokka's moments such as the kissing scenes? NO! So why would they edit out the Boulders "split"?! That just makes me really mad! Seriously, what was Nickelodeon thinking?

At first I was like... what episode? Then, I realized. Man, that was so funny. I spent at leat two minutes laughing at the boulder's face when he did that split move. That's one of the scenes that made the episode hilarious. How dare they edit it. Does it have to do with some kind of UK weakness of watching men do splits or something? I mean, what's they're problem?!?!

Just because the people in the UK live where they do, doesn't mean they have to view 'edited' Avatar episodes. I hope it never happens again, though.

Well that's stupid! Stupid nickelodeon, they can't figure it out... *groan* It's angering, like what they do with some other series (I don't think they do it with avatar) is they have episodes come out in Latin America before they come out in America. And then they come out in America before they come out in Europe and so on... It's all Nickelodeon's fault... gah! They make me so mad sometimes... I mean, why would they edit out that scene?! It's a major Toph moment and it's hilarious. They shouldn't edit it out because one country is somewhere besides America.

personally, i don't see it as such a big deal, but as long as they don't edit the REALLY funny moments, i guess i'm fine.
