I've only seen DBZ:Evolution since it was on TV with nothing else so that's the only one I can take. Only Avatar I've seen was Rifftrax highlights.
Surprise no one brought up Super Mario Bros. It was an Animated series, don't know if it was based off that one but it sure as shit wasn't based off the games.

But Chris won...why is the Last Airbender the winner?Firefilm said:
And now FX is taunting me by showing DB: Evolution
I never saw Avatar, so I can't really comment.
But DB Evolution was just terrible
It's like they spent 20 quid on the actual film, then the rest of the budget on cocaine.

hopefully the sequel to avatar will be better since the same people made it. staying hopeful until 14th April.
I saw the title and the thumb nail and knew instantly you were going to discuss Evolution.
I have to agree its the worst live action adaptation I've ever seen.
-edit-
The "What a twist!" at the end had me laughing pretty hard

You mean Legend of Korra? As a promotional thing a few weeks ago, Nickelodeon released the first 2 episodes temporarily, and I have to say, it's good. Not as good as the original series was at its height, but the original show started really slow too, and this looks like it's going interesting places.TheFederation said:
Chris, you're totally right. That flying Kamehameha part totally baffles the mind. But seriously, how can they mess up the origin story that badly? Goku never went to high school and he ended up killing his grandpa. It's not that hard to get right, even if you've only watched the first few episodes.
Hell, they could have done a more in-depth trilogy using three of the major story arcs of the original Dragon Ball. The first movie could have been Goku and friends fighting against Emperor Pilaf, the second movie could have shifted the focus to the Red Ribbon Army, and the third movie could focus on Goku facing off against Piccolo. And, if done right, it could have made them much more money than Evolution did.

Ah, The Last Airbender. The only movie to date that has managed to induce true incoherent rage in me.
The only good thing to come out of that abomination is that one hilarious gif wit the dancing earthbenders and the tiny pebble.
Well, at least Legend of Korra is just as awesome as the original series.

Well, I will go so far as to say that "The Last Airbender" at least had some very nice FX and some decent choreography at times. If you had to argue this in reverse and instead of saying "which sucks more" started argueing which movie is better, and had more redeeming qualities, "The Last Airbender" would win, and thus deserves the victory here for sucking less. As the debate points out, in DBZ's movie, they blow the whole deal with the hero using his trademark power/yell out. Even the Green Lantern movie got the basic oath right (which is part of the awesome of Green Lantern for the fans), and this just failed utterly. When the guys do their trademark moves and bend elements in "The Last Airbender" it at least looks pretty good in most cases, maybe not exactly as you'd envision it would look in real life from the cartoon, but still some reasonably solid FX and you can't say that they didn't do the powers that defined the characters too badly even if everything else was... lacking. I think part of "The Last Airbender"'s problem was simply that they decided to put all their money into FX and carry it as an FX movie, and spent very little time on the characters or actual storyline. The biggest fail of the movie was that it was intended to be part of a trilogy, I could see a mess if they were trying to force the entire series into a two hour block, but when they want 3 movies to begin with and plan for it, there was no excuse for it. I mean they did "Lord Of the Rings" with 3 movies and no offense, that had a lot more going on and more fans than "The Last Airbender".
Last Airbender seemed to me to be the clear winner, mostly due to the things said after the credits. Dragonball was pretty bad though.
Sorry Kyle but I got to ask, did you honestly expect the Last Airbender film top contain ALL THREE SEASONS. I mean from what I read the film itself was a very rush version of the first season so it's impossible to fit in the other two seasons into it!
Either way I don't care the outcome since they were both equally bad in their own right, well I guess the lesser or two awfulness.

The one good thing that can be said about DBZ Evolution is that it is at least so bad you can laugh at it. With the Last Airbender, I can't even muster up the desire to do that.
