He was great at directing; I wish he'd stuck to that. -_-
...You know, I try not to be one of the reactionary fans, and to give what I think of as unusual choices for casting or story direction a chance, but I honestly think I *would* sign a petition to NOT have him involved in another Last Airbender project. As long as that petition was not written in All-Caps or other rage-y language.
If you don't like a way a show is going, then stop watching it. Find or write the version you'd like to have seen happen if it bothers you that much. (You won't be alone in this, I assure you.) But trying to claim a show creator doesn't understand their own characters (if they are their own characters) because they chose to send them down a different path than you, a member of the audience, would have picked? That's some hubris right there. There's a difference between something not going how you wanted and something being a bad choice or poorly written. Learn to recognize the difference, people. Tailor your criticisms appropriately. You'll find the resulting conversations much more rewarding.
That being said, there is a percentage of They Who Are Upset who I agree with / feel their Upset is indeed warranted...if not all the actions that their ire has moved them to.
