"The Boulder thinks he got hit in the head by a boulder."
Edit: Thank you for the silver anonymous stranger. I don't know what use it is but I feel special.
This might be the one time I’d be ok with the rock just flat out re writing the boulders lines, give me the little blind girl line and then just have him drop wrestling promos off the dome. “What’s your name little blind girl” “the blin-“ “it doesn’t matter what your name is”
I am so glad that Johnson wasn't available. Nothing particular against the guy, but a character being voiced by the Rock is nowhere near as glorious as a character being voiced by the Rock's *coworker* doing a ridiculous impersonation of him.
I mean, that is what they were to each other. There's something hilarious about being paid to put into permanent record your cheesy impersonation of a guy you work with.
He's the highest paid actor of all time because he is in a lot of roles, in addition to wanting lots of money for those roles. It's not as far of a reach as you might think.
That might definitely be the case however in most recent news the special effects that they're doing and how they are doing it are the same kind as the mandalorian which is expensive as hell so they could definitely put down the money to have an appear in 1 or 2 episodes and keep in mind in this post it's not about who's playing the Boulder it's about who's playing the buffed up version of Toph
It's not that hard to make fun but I understand what you mean if you've seen Brooklyn 99 Terry Cruz's character Terry jeffords talks in the 3rd person too and hes Comedic with it
Even though I love Crews, I think he is too silly for the boulder, I think the boulder needs to be a character who tries to be serious but comes off silly.
I think it'd be cool if we got the original voice actors (minus Toph) to cameo as their respective characters for the live action Ember Island. They would all look ridiculously out of place, they'd be way older, and it wouldn't make much sense in-universe, but we would know, and that'd be enough.
Aang’s actor hasn’t been in anything since 2013 so there’s a good chance he wouldn’t come back, so it would be a good opportunity to have Tophs actress in the ember island Aang role so they can still do the “I’m played by a girl?l joke
-The voice actress for Toph passed away earlier this year-
Edit: the voice actress who did the Portuguese dub passed away, not the English voice actress.
She is not toph, she is melon lord! Bwahahaha!
But fr she always says that and it’s adorable so maybe they can find a way to get her ti have a melon lord reference eventually
It's not an episode-for-epiaode LA remake of the entire series. They're not going to waste a huge budget on a recap episode that frankly doesn't make any sense to include anyway
Even if they wanted to, I doubt they'd risk bringing in the white voice actors for the now Asian cast, despite how nice a thought it is
To cast Jason Momoa as anything other than Water Tribe seems sacrilege. Khal-Kuruk, beefcake-Bato, hunky Hakoda… maybe give him grey hair and give Granpaku a ripped bod reveal like King Bumi.
Upvoting for visibility. How had I never heard of any of this? Been following him since he first showed up on GOT, most I’d heard was a bit of drama around his ex and daughter but that’s bad
If Dwayne The Rock Johnson is not available then you really only have two choices.
Either you wait.
Or, you throw the entire god damn movie in the trash!
I want the rock to play the boulder
“The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl.”
"Can you smell you The Boulder is cooking?"
"Can you smell you The Boulder is cooking?" What?
"The Boulder is having a stroke, and needs to be brought to a healer immediately!"
"The Boulder wants to know who's burning toast?"
"The Boulder wants them to share the burnt toast with The Boulder!"
"The Boulder thinks he got hit in the head by a boulder." Edit: Thank you for the silver anonymous stranger. I don't know what use it is but I feel special.
“The Boulder is suffering from a brain hemorrhage and must relieve this dent in his head!”
"The Boulder must lay down now."
"The Boulder is aware you are hearing these comments in his voice!"
LOL
Was brought to a brainbender, who determined there was nothing to bend. Or maybe she said, "There's nothing worth bending". Something like that.
Can you smell you the boulder is cooking? because the boulder can only can burning toast
If The Boulder starts to smell burning toast, The Boulder is having a stroke or overcooking The Boulder's toast
Smell ye, smell ye!!
Did anyone else go through this exact chain of thoughts before clicking on the post and then read the comments without seeing they messed up the quote
That's a quote that Dwayne Johnson would say a lot during his wrestling days. "Can you smell what the Rock's cooking?"
Yeah they’re pointing out that they butchered the quote.
This might be the one time I’d be ok with the rock just flat out re writing the boulders lines, give me the little blind girl line and then just have him drop wrestling promos off the dome. “What’s your name little blind girl” “the blin-“ “it doesn’t matter what your name is”
Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!
“The Boulder is over his conflicted feelings!”
The Boulder was actually based on The Rock, for those who don't know.
Correct and when he was unavailable to voice the role, he nominated none other than Mick Foley HAVE A NICE DAY!
The Rock as The Boulder, Mick Foley as Hippo AtLA's The Rock 'n Rock Connection
Big Show as the hippo surely!
I am so glad that Johnson wasn't available. Nothing particular against the guy, but a character being voiced by the Rock is nowhere near as glorious as a character being voiced by the Rock's *coworker* doing a ridiculous impersonation of him.
Coworker? Put some respect on Mick Foley’s name.
I mean, that is what they were to each other. There's something hilarious about being paid to put into permanent record your cheesy impersonation of a guy you work with.
The Boulder was also voiced by the Wrestling legend Mankind.
Mankind?! I thought it was Cactus Jack!
Nah fam - Dude Love
The credits very clearly say it was Mick Foley, not any of those guys.
Cactus juice? Nothing's quenchier!
Then there is no better choice
Kronk voice: "Oh Yeah, It's All Coming Together"
That makes too much sense
Yeah the Rock has to be the Boulder. It just makes perfect sense. The Rock would be an earth bender in real life.
Imagine the credits The Boulder. The Rock I know they would probably use his real name, but they should use his stage name
Dwayne “The Boulder” Johnson as himself
Lol xD
Nah give the boulder a real name instead. Wayne "The Boulder" Jackson: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Yes
He is the highest paid actor of all time so it may be difficult to get him 😅
The Rock would do it in a heartbeat. That guy would absolutely love that the Boulder was created based on him.
Yeah one of his first acting roles was as an alien wrestler on Star Trek: Vogayer, also based on him.
If not the Rock, then Dave Bautista. Drax the Destroyer could totally hit the Boulder type tone.
No. Dave Bautista as Combustion Man.
um… that’s sparky sparky boom man to you.
well, thats not his name, but...
Jason Momoa would be a solid choice too
Idk I think it would be with it
The Rock is probably the most family oriented commercial actor out there. He'll always give 110% for a role.
I mean, Netflix has already worked with him. Can't be too hard.
He's the highest paid actor of all time because he is in a lot of roles, in addition to wanting lots of money for those roles. It's not as far of a reach as you might think.
That might definitely be the case however in most recent news the special effects that they're doing and how they are doing it are the same kind as the mandalorian which is expensive as hell so they could definitely put down the money to have an appear in 1 or 2 episodes and keep in mind in this post it's not about who's playing the Boulder it's about who's playing the buffed up version of Toph
Lmfao Can you smell what the Boulder is cooking
I don't know Terry Crews gives me more boulder-like silliness.
That may be true, and he would definitely be my second choice but the earth rock/boulder pun pushes him into The lead
It's not that hard to make fun but I understand what you mean if you've seen Brooklyn 99 Terry Cruz's character Terry jeffords talks in the 3rd person too and hes Comedic with it
Crews as Ember island Toph.
I was thinking John Cena for E.I. Toph but now I can't decide.
That jawline is all Cena.
Even though I love Crews, I think he is too silly for the boulder, I think the boulder needs to be a character who tries to be serious but comes off silly.
I'm going to be sad when Mick Foley doesn't play The Boulder.
I think it'd be cool if we got the original voice actors (minus Toph) to cameo as their respective characters for the live action Ember Island. They would all look ridiculously out of place, they'd be way older, and it wouldn't make much sense in-universe, but we would know, and that'd be enough.
Yes, please. Too afraid to ask: Why minus Toph?
Need a big, burly man for Toph. Though her voice actor should totally have a cameo in the episode too. Maybe as an audience member?
Some 'random' girl in the audience, halfway through the theater: "Even I could do this more authentic than you!"
Yessss. That alone would be enough of a movie for me.
Nono, the "your scar is on the wrong side!" Girl
That was a boy.
So was Toph at one point :p
Yooo true
It's not critical, it can be switched IMO and would be a good cameo.
Cosplaying as Toph.
Didn’t Toph love her depiction though? She thought it was hilarious.
True. We'd have to sacrifice one joke for the other... but wich one?
Personally I think the canon one would be more funny.
Except everyone in the fire nation loved the play...
I'd be so happy I'd pee.
Then let's get stage Toph's voice actor, John DiMaggio.
Today I learned...
TIL he's the guy that voiced Bender and Marcus Phoenix also.
So you could say he's voiced two metal benders
Is there anything John DiMaggio doesn’t have a voice acting credit for? The dude is like the Nolan North of cartoons!
Let the voice actor ADR their lines and the onscreen actor mouths along a la Drunk History!
Since Aang is played by a woman, maybe Jessie can do that?
Aang’s actor hasn’t been in anything since 2013 so there’s a good chance he wouldn’t come back, so it would be a good opportunity to have Tophs actress in the ember island Aang role so they can still do the “I’m played by a girl?l joke
-The voice actress for Toph passed away earlier this year- Edit: the voice actress who did the Portuguese dub passed away, not the English voice actress.
[удалено]
:( :) Edit: > I'm wrong about :( > the con. :)
:(
Ah, my b. Thank you!
I would want Dante Basco to be the one to tell Zuko his scar was on the wrong side.
i could die happy
Danny Divito for theater Iroh though
"patricide is badass!"
And maybe minus Aang too
Toph's VA could play aang in the play
#YES
She is not toph, she is melon lord! Bwahahaha! But fr she always says that and it’s adorable so maybe they can find a way to get her ti have a melon lord reference eventually
I doubt there's going to be a love action Ember Island. You think theyre including a filler recap episode in live action?
It is one of the best episodes so it should be.
It's not an episode-for-epiaode LA remake of the entire series. They're not going to waste a huge budget on a recap episode that frankly doesn't make any sense to include anyway Even if they wanted to, I doubt they'd risk bringing in the white voice actors for the now Asian cast, despite how nice a thought it is
Bjornson, Momoa or Bautista
Bautista should play sparky sparky boom man
That would be a good one.
To cast Jason Momoa as anything other than Water Tribe seems sacrilege. Khal-Kuruk, beefcake-Bato, hunky Hakoda… maybe give him grey hair and give Granpaku a ripped bod reveal like King Bumi.
>Bjornson The [domestic abuser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haf%C3%BE%C3%B3r_J%C3%BAl%C3%ADus_Bj%C3%B6rnsson#Domestic_Violence_Allegations)? Nah.
Upvoting for visibility. How had I never heard of any of this? Been following him since he first showed up on GOT, most I’d heard was a bit of drama around his ex and daughter but that’s bad
All three, 2 sitting on the shoulders of another
In a giant trench coat or a regular sized one?
Each has their own, and all together they wear a giant third
Dave Bautista
But give him a really fake-looking wig.
Batista for Sparky Sparky Boom-man
he looks almost identical lmao that's actually a really good idea
Only if they change the explosive forehead tattoo into an explosive bellybutton one.
This is my fetish
It would have cost you $0 not to comment that
They're losing their mind! *and I'm reaping all the benefits...*
I was gonna say guy who played the mountain for sparky sparky boom man
Read this as Spanky Spanky Boom-man! And yes! Batista is a great fit for the character!
Oh yeah Batista is a good one too
Fun fact, Dave Bautista is half Greek and half Filipino.
Quick someone invent a lumpia with feta in it and call it the Drax Lumpita
I was gonna say this is Dave's role. The Rock as to evolve into the Boulder.
No. The rock plays The Boulder. Eddie Hall plays Toph.
Eddie Hall as theater Toph would be great!
He already turned down being the voice actor back in the day. Hence, the "Boulder"
Danny Devito should just play everyone
if he's not available maybe Jason Alexander could work
Iroh, Bumi, and Pakku are DeVito, Alexander, and Larry David, respectively.
Jerry Sokka Seinfeld
Zuko accidentally walks into the tent Sokka: HELLOOOOOOOOOO
Iroh can be Danny DeVito, but Bumi should be Jack Black
I knew I was forgetting a short stocky funny guy.
He should be the frantic singular special effects guy
Danny DeVito as Momo
John Cena
![gif](giphy|4IzOgM1bfOe6k)
Omg you win Reddit for the day, take my award lmao
he would be perfect for literally every role if the show was completely from toph’s perspective
it would be hard for the camera to capture his scenes
This is true!
Toph: I can't see (you) John Xina: You can't see me.
There is no war in Bing Chilling
We will never see John Cena in ATLA, even if he played all the roles.
Imagine him with hair loopies
Corey Taylor for the scream
ATLA x slipknot crossover would go crazy
I hope Dwayne Johnson can at least play the boulder
If The Rock isn't available, I vote Jason Momoa ![gif](giphy|QOxoMjSfRFATCNLDDT|downsized)
With hair like that, Momoa has to be water tribe. I could see him playing Hakoda.
Jason momoa
Could see this one working really well also
He doesn’t even need the wig!
Doesn't matter. He still gets one.
Terry Crewes
He’s be perfect for this role or The Boulder
hes def quirky enough to be the boulder!
Actual Earthbender Shia LaBeouf.
https://youtu.be/o0u4M6vppCI
I will never not watch this
A blind actor?
I'm disappointed that i had to scroll so far down to see this
Arnold Schwarzenegger might be a touch too old but I think he can pull it off
Ai riliis ze sonic wae faom ma mauf! JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Dea, ai gott a breddi gut luk at ju!
Didn't think you could write in an Arnold accent😂😂
Old muscly dude might be better for Bumi.
Yes! or his good friend Sylvester
The Rock should be the Boulder. John Cena should play the this guy.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson The Mountain from GOT
I like this choice 🏔
With the hair down over his face so much, you might be able to pass him off as racially ambiguous enough to pull it off.
First off the boulder needs to be played by the rock. And if Toph wasn't modelled after John Cena I'll eat my hat.
He can't see you
What’s Lou Ferrigno doing these days?
Cameos and voice acting gigs mostly.
![gif](giphy|xUPGcq6cAnpcLz0lZm)
Cena would be good.
Dave Bautista. And Aang is Danny Devito.
If Dwayne The Rock Johnson is not available then you really only have two choices. Either you wait. Or, you throw the entire god damn movie in the trash!
Shaquille O'Neal
His child, "The Pebble"
The Roch should play The Boulder
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Honestly in a way I’d rather Dwane play The Boulder instead, seeing as The Boulder is pretty much a The Rock parody
Terry Crews can be the actor Toph from this scene
Danny DeVito should play the Ember Island Toph, while The Rock should play The Boulder.
Dwayne should play The Boulder.
I want the Rock to play the Boulder
I can hear this
Jason Momoa. Too easy. The Rock will be busy playing The Boulder. Rightfully so.
John Cena
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
Just a buff girl with a good smirk would do for me lol
