When I grow up I want to do some live ‘Avatar’ role-playing. LARPing is usually associated with people dressing up as knights and wizards, not as Na’vi, which is why this is such a funny thing to see.
Have you ever seen someone LARP? They get ridiculously into it. Have you ever seen somebody engaging in live Avatar role playing? It’s hilarious! The video seems like a spoof; if it isn’t, then these people have some explaining to do. What will Avatar do next?
