[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender_characters That page]] only represents the \\\'\\\'chinese\\\'\\\' pronounciations, whereas many of the names and words in the series are from Persian, Hindi and Sansrkit, where Iroh \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' spoken with an \\\"ee\\\" sound. Likewise, \\\"Avatar\\\" ([[{{Avatar}} a sanskrit word]]) is spoken as \\\"Uhv-thar\\\" and not \\\"Aah-va-taaar\\\" as in the show. Most of these in the show were completely AcceptableBreaksFromReality; in the movie it would be [[WallBanger a different matter]]. I mean, in the show you have characters saying lines like \\\"Ladies, I rocked\\\'ja!\\\", \\\"You\\\'re kidding, right?\\\" and \\\"You been workin\\\' out?\\\" or \\\"That was \\\'\\\'so\\\'\\\' awesome!\\\" Imagine any one of those lines coming from, say, [[LordOfTheRings Frodo Baggins]]. You can see how ridiculous it will be. The trope, assuming it even applies, is [[JustifiedTrope justified]].
The hate on this seems to be classic FanDumb; everybody was bitching about not having Asian actors, but apparently everyone wants AmericanAccents for all the characters.
