• Nostalgia Critic : [Five Earthbenders perform elaborate moves only to lift a small rock and hurl it at a Fire Nation soldier]  Is that... really the extent of your imagination, Shyamalan? Is that really the wide range of possibilities that you could pull off with this scenario? Earthbending. Earthbe-

  [knocks on table and walls] 

  Nostalgia Critic : EARTHbending! Taking the elements of Earth... the fucking planet! And bending it to your will! And this is the fuck-ass piece of shit that you could come up with? Okay, let me give you a crash course or reminder as someone who has clearly seen the show what just one... ONE Earth-bender can do.

  [clips play of various Earthbenders bending huge rock formations] 

  Nostalgia Critic : One. That was all one Earthbender in every single one of those scenes. Now let's see what uh, one, two, three, four, five, FIVE... Five of your shitty-ass Earthbenders from your piece of fuck film could accomplish!

  Nostalgia Critic : I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT, SHORT AND STOUT!

• Nostalgia Critic : [comparing the prison for earthbenders in the movie with that of the show]  I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I know it gets really annoying every single time I say "in the show", because it's an adaptation. Adaptations, you gotta make changes, I understand that, I really understand that, but... it's gotta be changes that make sense, guys! So... in the show... the prison is on a metal ship, where no earthbending is possible, and thus, it breaks their spirit because they can't get away. They are powerless to stop them. Here, THEY'RE FUCKING SURROUNDED BY THE STUFF! Aang makes a big speech about rising up and fighting back, where in the show it's justified - and Katara - but still justified because there's a big risk. They have something to lose. Here, it's like saying "walk through a revolving door"! There's nothing to be lost! It's like having an ice cream bender at Baskin-Robbins, and saying "how the hell am I gonna..." YOU'RE AN ICE CREAM BENDER! USE YOUR FUCKING MIND!

• Nostalgia Critic : Umm, Katara doesn't seem like the best person to look after him. I mean, don't get me wrong. In the other version, it made sense. She had a kind, mature heart, but also the focus and strength to kick some ass in several awesome scenes. Nobody in their right mind would dare cross her. But in the movie... she pushed a guy.
