== [[The Movie]] ==
* The Racebending community was created in protest of casting decisions made by [[M. Night Shyamalan]] for ''[[The Last Airbender]]''. Named after the hiring of Caucasians playing Aang, Sokka and Katara as well as ''[[Unfortunate Implications|brown people]]'' as the Fire Nation. Thus, phrases like "Aang ain't white" and "Aang Can Stay Asian And Still Save the World" became popular among some ''Avatar'' fans.
** And the quotes [[Fake Nationality|"Caucasian and any other ethnicities"]] and [[Critical Research Failure|"If you're Korean, wear a kimono"]] shows how ridiculous the casting calls could be.
** It has become popular to make light of the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of the [[Race Lift]] that occurred in the movie by saying: "Wait, so the good guys are white and not Asian? [[Robot Chicken|What a twist!]]"
* Before the movie had even come out, early test screening reviews mentioned a scene that has turned the phrase "punching the fish" [http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/063/7/3/PUNCH_A_FISH_IN_THE_FACE_by_Booter_Freak.png into a meme]<ref>He actually stabs it with a knife.</ref>.

He got a scroll that his men are trying to decipher, did he mention that it was a SECRET LIBRARY?<ref>The wonderful Rufftoon of [[Deviant ART]], who worked as a storyboard artist on the animated version, pointed out that Zhao mentioned the library (That's supposed to be a ''secret'') several times, as compared to the one time it was vaguely mentioned in the series. The meme was created after she posted a series of humorous guides and overviews of the movie. The one containing this meme is here: http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=zhao+movie#/d2t9n4h</ref>
