Thanks for watching! We had the pleasure of collaborating with Diana Tsoy to create a live-action fight concept inspired by 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'
This project was an exciting challenge, combining elements of earthbending with hand-to-hand combat to showcase Diana's multitude of skills.

She got the sass, the attitude, the confidence and most importantly she has that cute little voice like in the og cartoon nailed down, it's perfect! I hope she gets casted in the atla la as Toph. Although I'm sure she'll be a lot older by then when the filming starts. But still...
🙏🙏🙏
I think filming is finished. It comes out on the 22nd of February this year, but she would be perfect
@@arianamoonebook one is only being showed in season 1 she comes in book two
@@trek7985 oh crap ur right😂
live action is already out by the end of the month babe
Bro... THIS HAS TO HAPPEN!
e.
Ian you watch Avatar too??? Bro l am your fan l have watched for 3 years. ( I wish you would reply.)
Unfortunately Based on Season 1 on live action, we know they're gonna hire non martial art actors again. Like the actors the got for Suki and Katara.
@@eddiepeddie5672well this girl has hope because;
1. She’s already an actor who’s worked on a few big projects (one of them from Disney) &
2. The stunt team who put this together is the same stunt team who worked on the Netflix series.
Yea
I vote for this girl to be Toph in the Live Action series. She's got it all 🫸🏻🪨
Fingers crossed 🤞
Not gonna happen
@@grandcanyon-d4d thanks for the input, botusername
@@grandcanyon-d4dyour cat will pass away
pleas save this vid to your likes because you'll need to revisit it when the live action eventually gives us a less than decent toph.
The way she just plants her heel at 00:09 tells me you completely understand her character and fighting style. The way she moved that one guy into the other man's attack was perfect for her! Very well done, the actors sold the choregraphy, and you absolutely get the sense that Toph is listening and waiting for each opening.
The actor was perfect - unfortunately though, so much of that comes down to direction and editing. It wasn’t just the actor who understood the character, it was the whole team. Netflix could (and should) cast this kid, but they could still mess it up with bad writing, or directing, or choreo, or editing
That was well choreograph. She even sounds like Toph.
Thanks for watching and the support 🙏🥹
THE BOULDER TAKES ISSUE WITH THAT COMMENT!
They've hit the nail with this fight choreography
But she didn’t say she’s a melon lord….
@@osmanyousif7849 Give it timeThis is pre season 1 :)
She got all of of Tophs mannerisms, how she doesn’t directly look at who she’s fighting, her wide stance, the mantis style, perfect!
That's not mantis style, those moves are from Hun-gar which is what every other earthbender use. She should be using Southern mantis like Toph uses in the animated series.
Toph would reply to you with "Like I have a choice of looking at who I'm fighting"
@@geneil26 🤣🤣🤣
@@Mcgiver699I was going to say Hung Ga also but Toph used Southern Praying Mantis??
@@Mcgiver699Ok so, I was wrong. Toph's style is "based on" Southern Praying Mantis but it was looking like Hung Ga and Long fist to me....
Ok. So Netflix has to do its thing and cast this girl as Toph for the second season of the live action. She is perfect!
This would be perfect. The issue is that this was filmed nearly a year ago and by the time they get around to season 2, she would be much older. It’s possible Netflix will have their age played into the story and if that’s the case, she’s my top pick for Toph!
@@jordanharris4164they just said recently that they had to scrap the idea that the entire series takes place in a single year like the original show due to the cast aging. They also said things like sozins comet wouldn’t have a definitive time of arrival until they get closer to it because of this change as well. So more than likely casting her as top would be fine
@@thecommenttater7026 okay, great! Well disregard my comment then lol. I wasn’t aware of the news, but it’s good to know that Netflix took that into account. I wonder if Aang’s bending is going to look different now that they don’t have a timetable.
Puberty is a huge boost for human's growth and development sadly.. 😢
Even just 1 year in your teenage time, it matters a lot. You can grow like 5cms in that 1 year. And also the voice getting heavier. The way you talk also gonna be different
@@thecommenttater7026 That is awful. Not al lchanges they're making sounds like they're shaping up to be good. This is the worst one yet. THey just need to film back to back, and it won't be that jarring anyway if they just look and sound a LITTLE bit older. They can also pitch down a few voices, especially if recording on individual lavaliers or if they ADR the dialogue. Plus, the fact that Aang learned to bend the elements as well as he did in just one year and then took down the Fire Lord at the end of it, in just ONE FUCKING YEAR, is one of the most brought up points when anyone talks about why Aang was as great of Avatar as he was. The thing they are most impressed by. They shouldn't take tha away from his character!
Really had to come back here to check the name after I heard who got casted in the live action. Altho Diana didn't get the part, good work with showcasing this to us! The stances and choreography is really solid with this one.
Appreciate the support, thank you!
The fight choreography is
ON POINT. they even replicated her unique matis style ,she even sounds like toph . I am curious how the studio will fit all 3 books into one movie ,but they got my favorite character down .so i think they'll pull through
Thanks for watching 🙏
It is not going to be a movie. It is actually a series that will consist of 8 episodes, each one hour long.
@@mikedoskitomen1991 I watched it. Some people complained about it, but I liked it. My only complaint: not enough episodes to get to Toph.
@@Tletna You probably already know this, but there will be more. Seasons 2 & 3 have been approved. Just speculating here, but I think they're going to have to film both seasons at once because Gordon Cormier is growing up quickly.
no it's not.
actually, in this fan film, she's using hung gar, not southern mantis - which is what Toph uses , they got that part wrong. pretty infuriating
Like, seriously, who can they possibly cast that can do better than this? She nailed it in literally every way a Toph actress possibly could.
This is Toph.
Netflix has to do the right thing here, and get this young lady on set ASAP.
somebody fat
Imma keep praying she gets casted as Toph in the live action, she has lots of potential, i can already see how great she would look and act, cuz she definitely acts the role perfectly.
Yeah she killed it!
I just want to hear her try and say, “I AM MELON LORD!!!”.
This is EXACTLY what I want from a live-action Toph.
THIS NEEDS TO BLOW UP! Netflix you have your Toph Beifong right here
Netflix, THIS IS OUR TOPH
NETFLIX. I demand you find this little girl and cast her in the live action. GIVE US THE TOPH WE DESERVE
How about Please NETFLIX..
@netflix
What in heaven did I just watch? THATS TOPH BEIFONG!!!!! She is perfect, period.
Having Toph do hand to hand combat mixed with bending is a GOATED concept
🙏🙏🙏
Toph is the reason why Earth bending is my favorite. Now that Season 2 and 3 are announced, they have to cast her perfectly and I think Diana can do it.
fuck yes, now I hope they hire her! she's fcking perfect1.1.1.m,m3lrkjwel;q. I had a mini stroke she's so perfect
Who’s Diana?
@@Krii_03 Joe's daughter
@@kurtramos59 And, who is Joe?
@@Krii_03 Joe momma, Gottem 😏
She is a practically perfect live action Toph. Her looks, her attitude, her fighting skills... I hope someone from Netflix see this and cast her for season 2. Congratulations for the video!
Thanks so much for watching!
The casting to avatar is open!! Go go go
🕺🕺🕺🕺
PLEASE CAST THIS GIRL! She’s got all the attitude of Toph!
It’s so unbelievable that this one video is better than the movie they made😭
It's a shame that a youtube video does a better representation than a fully licensed/budgeted movie. In the movie, they toss pebbles, in this, they toss BOULDERS.
@@ElvenImmortal and if it weren’t bad enough, 5+ needed for one pebble
The movie wasn't bad. It wasn't supposed to be a COVER; EXACT REPLICA. And when they didn't finish up with other movies that should have followed, was a HUGE disappointment to A LOT of people who enjoyed the movie.
She has to be the live action cast fr!!!
i hope she gets cast if there's a season 2. she's pretty good.
🤞🤞🤞
She auditioned for Toph didnt she? 😈
@@Sparkles-gp2bm I really hope she did and actually got the part!
@@SijianLv she did
How old is this actress?
#DianaTsoyforToph in the live action ATLA series! I am so rooting for this girl. She has so much potential and she even sounds and has the mannerisms of Toph 🤜🏽🪨
Her looking to the side the whole time, acting truly blind, was incredible! I’m sure it took a lot of work
Yes! Now thats how you play Toph! Attitude, badass earthbending and she threw them hands! The taunting at the end was just perfection.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got our Toph for season 2
Yup, she's got it. The solid stance, the fierceness, the look and the feet lol. You go girl!
She should audition for season 2 of Netflix's Avatar The Last Airbender!
I hope she does, and hopefully this video helps!! 💪
ummmm is this her audition as Toph for the live action? Where do i sign the petition to get her casted lmao she is AWESOME.
Now that season 2 is confirmed, they need to cast her as Toph!
if this kid is not casted as a Toph in the live-action, then i’ll make a petition for her!
The Boulder agrees with you.
We will riot
This was perfect! The voice, the choreography, and the cute face with a strong attitude.
I don’t think yall understood how she slid that dude into the rock. It’s just like how she slid sokka out of the way when he tried to stop her from leaving in “the chase” episode. Wow just wow A1 acting ❤❤❤❤
I hope God blesses you and casts you as Toph for the live action role
I thought this girl was training last year for season two of the netflix show. Was that a false report?
Edit: hold up yeah, this video was made by the stunt team. She's totally going to be toph
Oh yeah, we posted it on a personal IG and the video took a life of its own with rumors included lol - we ended up being on the stunt team but it was shot before the announcement of the show. We hope Diana gets to audition for the Role of Toph, but this video had no affiliation to the Netflix adaptation 😊
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios thank you for the info!!! I hope she gets cast she's perfect
She is perfect for Toph! Glad it's confirmed she got casted for the role! 😍🤩😍
I wouldve preferred this over the 2010 film honestly. Really well done overall. If your studios had other fights made in the future I'll certainly watch them.
That’s a huge compliment, thanks so much for watching 🙏
Goosebumps. She nailed this!
They sold me the moment i heard "Aang"and not "Ong"
Toph is going to single handedly save this entire adaption
Has too, she brought everyone alive in the second season.
It's seriously not that bad.... jfc. LoL
Thanks for finally bringingToph to life - this was amazing to watch :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Damn. If Netflix doesn't do her justice at least as good as this, imma be upset.
One critique though is a few of her movements seemed to not have been doing anything in particular. That's not how Toph earthbent in the animated series, every single move of hers was purposeful and useful, she didn't waste a single bit of energy.
Tbh that's how she earthbend, earth is a stubborn element so preparation before attack is always a must, remember also she's blind W a unique bending style so the element won't respond immediately. I think it was perfect
The ONLY critique I found was the CGI which tbh isn't even bad. I got chills watching lol
Beautiful choreography and cinematography !
Captured and embodied the action so well !!
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🥰
If the Toph they cast is anything as good as this actress, she'll be perfect. She nailed the gestures of waiting and listening. And the sass at the end- bravo!
I love the attention to detail on the movements of the hands and the flow of the fight. You guys are n to something. great work. Toph is the best.
Thank you! 🙏 Yeah, been wanting to play with some of this stuff for a while, but just didn’t have someone to do VFX, so we roughly learned and put in some elements to concept it 😛
Why couldn’t they hire this girl?
You know what I loved?
Even after all those years, Toph was still the Queen of Earthbending. Kuvira was taking over the World but she still feared fighting Toph
they should bring her in the live action
We hope so too!
It's this "camera rumble" they need to incorporate in the new live action to make earth bending feel stronger.
🙏
I know we're thinking about how much better this is than the movie so I just thought I'd add that the movie had a $150 million budget
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I think the movie is much better than this lol
There's no such ATLA movie in Ba Sing Se 🙏.
@wazup3333 NooooooooooOooOooOoooo 🥲
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios yes lol even just for the scenery. The movie had good scenery
I hope netflix have seen this vid… shes really Toph… I’ll vote for her…
I hope she's cast as Toph. Would be absolutely sick to see it with complete VFX in live action
I know some people are concerned about her age as this was filmed two years ago. But also look at Gordon and how much he grew. Getting a really younger Toph now would really look weird. She on the other hand is at the perfect age to look equal to Gordon. She has to be Toph!
The acting and cinematography looks amazing! The bending looks crisp and is coming from somewhere, not just random magical power system.
She's perfect with toph character
THIS IS THE ACTUAL TOPH!!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
She is not acting like Toph Beifong. She IS Toph Beifong!
Don't do fist to fist tho, she never does that. And it's SUPER unrealistic. She needs to just bend the whole time
That part was to help her action reel 😜
i think we found the perfect toph
Absolutely spot on!! Netflix get her on board now!
She even has the fighting style, plaese let this be in the new live action show!😊
IF THEY DONT CAST HER AS TOPH, I SWEAR TO GOD I AM GOING TO HATE THE CASTING DIRECTORS FOREVER
Amazing choreography: the small foot movements, the smirk, letting the attacker take his own guy out with a small shift -- plus her voice was perfect. love it!
1:20 mantis style punch 👊 😂. Freaking awesome!
I learned Matis style for a couple of years, and when I got into Avatar and noticed that Toph was using the same stances I learned earlier, I was so excited. I love that they kept the influence.
Pleeeease god let this be the girl they cast as toph
I understand Earth Bending is based on the Hung Gar Style, and Toph uses it from time to time. However her Earth Bending is based on Chu/Chow Gar Praying Mantis.
She has to be casted in ATLA Live series. This was so well made,she got the looks, sass and even the voice! I need her to be in the book 2 ATLA!!
I'm not sure about Netflix, but I found my Toph❤❤
Netflix call her 😊
She should be in Netflix's avatar live action ❤ she is great and tough bender
I hope she gets the role for toph. She gives toph vibes!!
It could have been one of a dozen reasons why she didn't get the role. But at least she did audition, it sounds like. Maybe she just didn't do well in the chemistry reads with the rest of the cast. That's a big deal for a lot of casting people. Maybe the girl that they did cast had better acting skills overall. Who knows.
Toph never uses her hands to fight, only her bending. So that would have to change, but that was wonderful to watch!
So... i guess she was the inspiration for the Toph in the animated show, right?
Incredible acting performance & camera work!
Even if the VFX are not "realistic" but the power and energy of the choregraphy give me goosebumps!
Are you involved in the new Avatar show which will be released on Netflix?
Thanks so much for watching! 🙏
Yes, and very grateful that we were
a part of the journey on the stunt team!
Which was crazy since we shot this for fun quite a bit before the show was announced😛
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios seems sometimes dreams come true 😁
Can't wait to see your work in the Avatar series 🥰
🙏@@pianocrasher
She's a cute kid, not to mention she looks and sounds like Toph IMO I hope she gets cast as her
She’s got the perfect attitude , sound, AND look. I’m not 100% sold on the hand to hand. Not that it wasn’t done absolutely great but Toph in the show never really went hand to hand like that. Not unless she had earth or metal around her hands so that she could bend it to give her blows way more power. So if you had done that here I’d honestly have 0 complaints whatsoever.
Absolutely amazing how well she fits the character😁
Thanks so much for watching! Also that is an amazing idea! Will definitely be giving you a shoutout if we can execute another one of these with a VFX artist on board! 🙏
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios It's not really their idea. In the original show, Toph encased herself in a sheet of metal and used it as body armor to go toe-to-toe with several firebenders. She was even able to levitate the metal body suit with herself still inside it and use it to crawl along the ceiling of the room she was fighting in to reposition herself for a final confrontation. So she does fight hand-to-hand, just with earth or metal around her hands to protect herself and lend more power to her blows.
exactly, at the end of the day, she was just a little girl, there is no way she would be able to use hand to hand combat against much older opponents without having metal or earth augmenting her physcial traits.@@traugdor
FANtastic!! get it..get it? Im so funny. Although, I'm not sure if toph would have an ounce of doubt in smashing a rock against someone LOL
That ‘yes yes I am’ exuded Toph energy wow wow, rooting for her to get that role
You know Netflix should cast her to play toph the blind earth bender we all know and love she does kick butt
Netflix is having an open casting call. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, SHE MUST AUDITION!!!!
What audition? THEY SHOULD GIVE HER THE ROLE LIKE BY NOW!!!!
She did! Someone let her know on Insta and she said "ON IT!" so I presume she did!
@@RavenStarMedia Excellent! Now we just need Dwayne Johnson as the Ember Island player for Toph on S3!
@@mauriciomongoy2025 Well, no guarauntee she got the role yet, but she auditioned, at least!
This is epic!! The girl has the character down and is an incredible fighter!!
🙏
Toph was my favorite.
🙏
This is how the last airbender live action should do, not slow-move stone and stiff acting, cool and i appreciate who make this!
You’re telling me you don’t appreciate 6 men doing a poorly coordinated Haka just to skip a stone?
her earth bending movements were on point and definitely similar to Toph's
The (camera) shaking while earth-bending its critical for the believability. Props to whoever’s in charge of that decision and the effects.
Toph never use kicks to throw boulders and this girl perfected it😍
I hope she gets the audition for Toph!! 🙏🏼 Now that we got the green light for season 2&3 🤩🤩
IM SO MAD THEY DIDNT CAST HER
Was unfortunate, but hopefully who they pick is a great casting choice! We can’t wait to see who got the spot of Toph!
Wait, when did you hear that? I thought we wouldn't find out who got the role until Geeked Week.
EDIT: Found out she posted about it, bummer. Here's hoping whoever they chose for the role knocks our socks off.
She is a perfect fittttttttt for the character I hope Netflix has seen this 🫡
As someone who grew up on this show as it originally aired Toph has been one of my favorite fictional characters EVER for my entire life, this was PHENOMENAL 😭🙌 you nailed everything PERFECTLY from the personality to the bending abilities and style. I LOVED how you guys incorporated H2H close quarters attacks INTO the bending sequences! When she grabbed that dude and pulled him into the rising pillar it was SO EPIC. I’d love to see more H2H stuff like that incorporated into these bending fights because It makes it so dynamic and creative! 🙏🏻🙌 can’t wait is we what else this team is capable of
Thanks so much for watching, we’re so glad you enjoyed the concept! 🙏
Just came across this and its so food im actually emotional. Casting her as toph would make the netflix show much better. We need her to get the role
We're glad you enjoyed it! Wish we had a bit more time/resources, but it was a blast. Fingers crossed she gets considered for the role
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios if that's what you guys did with less resources I know there's so much more with the right support. Wishing her and everyone involved in this masterpiece luck and happiness. Y'all did toph justice and the efforts did not go unnoticed or unappreciated ❤❤
@@MochiSyrup Thanks so much for the support ❤
@@NexusEntertainmentStudios ❤
JUST CHANGE THE EYES AND SHE'S PERFECT
SHES SO GOOD SHE SOUNDS LIKE TOPH ASWELL
hahaha she made me chuckle at the end.
I genuinely hope they cast you/her as Toph for the live-action!! :)
She really nailed down all the (little) details that make Toph so unique. Very convincing as a blind person, focusing her hearing and feeling and all that.
Although, if they cast her, I hope she can act as good as she can fight.. Idk how much they'll go into back stories, but before being this sassy and confident, she was also a helpless, innocent, scared lil gurl, before learning to bend. (I hope they include that in the live-action) She sure seems like she can!
This feels like mid 2000's Nickelodeon. I love it.
10 thousand times better than the earthbending in that shyamalan movie
That indeed was a sight to behold lol
The way she moves is too damn good. Strong movements, sturdy stances. Plus, You can tell she knows very well what she's doing
She nailed toph 100%
Lovely
HECK YEAH. Toph is one of my favorite characters of all time. This girl nails it. Hire her, Netflix!!!
