BECAUSE I DO WHAT I WANT.
I didn’t give in-depth reasoning for all of these because how do I words. Will you just accept my word that I had reasons for choosing who I did? @__@
Okay, without further ado…
Natasha Kaye Johnson as Korra
If you’ve never heard of her, it’s no surprise, as she doesn’t have many film credits to her name. Just one, actually: ‘Turquoise Rose.’ If you can get a hold of that movie, I highly recommend watching it, it’s a wonderful film, and Johnson is just fantastic. And something like this would be a fantastic opportunity for an unknown actress, so there’s that.

Edison Chen as Mako
Look at all that angst.
* * *
Telly Leung as Bolin
I saw Isaia suggest this guy for Bolin, and I was blinded by all of the yes I felt. HE LOOKS LIKE SUCH A PRECIOUS BABY ASDFGHJKJHGFDS

Arden Cho as Asami Sato
I saw this in another fancast, and I see no reason to argue with perfection. You gotta deal with it.
* * *
Saif Ali Khan as Amon
I almost put Naveen Andrews down for Amon, but ultimately decided he fit better with the smooth-talking Tarrlok. Which, of course, left me floundering as to who Amon could be. This one took me a while, sheesh.
I chose this picture to shamelessly appeal to the fangirls.* * *
Koji Yakusho as Tenzin
Okay, I know it’s reeeeeeally hard to picture it without the facial hair, but just….trust me, I photoshopped this shit. I’m from the internet, I know what I’m doing. Trust me.
* * *
Michelle Yeoh as Lin Beifong
You saw this one coming. DON’T LIE, YOU KNOW YOU DID.
Yeoh plays a very good badass middle-aged lady (you probably know her from ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’), and okay, maybe this is typecasting, but it’s my fancasting so I do what I want.
* * *
Naveen Andrews as Councilman Tarrlok
C’mon guys, let’s be real here. I think we all know who the only man who could rock three ponytails is. And I’m lookin’ at him right now.
Fangirls, I tried to find a picture of him clean-shaven for better comparison, but then I started thinking, could Tarrlok rock the facial hair? I think Tarrlok could rock the facial hair.* * *
Jang Keun-suk as Tahno
Another one I
stolesaw on someone else’s fancast and thought was perfect. I haven’t actually seen him in anything, but looks-wise, I accept no alternatives.* * *
Michaela Conlin as Pema
Okay, so this MIGHT be a little bit of personal wish-fulfillment, because I love Michaela Conlin. >_>
You probably know her as Angela Montenegro from the TV show ‘Bones.’ Idk, I feel like she just FITS with Pema’s spunk.

Chow Yun-fat as Hiroshi Sato
Can we talk about the mustache okay.
Seriously tho.
Seriously tho.

And of course, we mustn’t forget…
PABU.

Years ago, on the Avatar production, we all became pretty obsessed with Futa, the seemingly-bipedal red panda who had captured the adoration of the Japanese public. I recently remembered that Futa was the original inspiration for our red panda-ferret hybrid character Pabu. Unlike the rest of his derpy species (and Pabu, who is also fairly derpy), Futa always looked businesslike and no-nonsense standing on his hind legs all the time, like he was looking for other red pandas to boss around. “Hey! You there! Stop being a derp. Back to work.” I always thought he needed a tie.
That awkward moment where I heard Futa and my mind went to an inappropriate place.

After a minor heart attack, which was solved by Lochi, I finally finished coloring this thingy. (Will be tweaking it for printing but HERE YOU GO INTERNET~!)
This parallel.
