Miharu EndouI watched it 3 times to aacutlly understand what M. Night Shyamalan was trying to do. It was great. He was trying to show the Aang whose Water Chakra,, was blocked. The water chakra is blocked by guilt. In the movie, he looked gloomier than usual because he still wasn't able to accept the death of the Air Nomads. He blamed himself because he ran away, and escaped from his role as the Avatar. He was blaming himself, and he was guilty, thus, his chakra was blocked. The dragon kept on telling him that it wasn't his fault that the Nomads died. And, Master Pakku told them something like The Water represents acceptance. So, in the end of the movie, when the Northern Water Tribe people were bowing to him, he bowed back, a symbol that he finally accepted his role as the Avatar. Sooo, that's why he has been a bit gloomy and unhappy in the movie. There were parts shown, especially in the first and flashback part, that he was still cheerful and playful. It was just played subtly, though.Though the casting wasn't really perfect, it's understandable, because some of them, like Noah Ringer and Dev Patel, are good in Taekwando, so it'll be easier to handle. And, Noah Ringer knows how to use a staff.
