Der Feuervogel aufersteht.

Your title gave me a moment of confusion. See, I just started watching the cartoon. I have no intention of seeing the movie, but I just started watching the cartoon, so seeing the title was weird. But yes, I've heard about the whitewashing and I do not intend to see it. Plus, this is done by oh his name is hard to spell without looking up Shamalan... something like that. He's the guy who did Unbreakable and Signs right? I really liked Unbreakable, but then I saw Signs and I lost all respect for him. Not only was the movie unbearably stupid, but it was unbearably stupid while trying to force a bad point. It made me figure he's likely to try to shoehorn his beliefs into future movies as well. And he did it so badly. I'm not interested in giving him another chance. And it doesn't hurt that this movie already has other reasons to avoid it.
