A:TLA is the last show on Nickelodeon that doesn't portray good and evil. Instead, the show portrays neutrality, flawed people, mistakes, and perspective. It was even stated on page 147 of the book written by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender - Art of the Animated Series.

Many "fans" are in unreasonable denial of this fact and continue to think A:TLA is simplistic.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, is a cartoon show sequenced in episodes, created by Nickelodeon. Although it stars a group of kids saving the world, it's attracted many fans even though the plot of kids saving the world is extremely overdone.

The cartoon series is made by American cartoonists, despite the Japanese Anime touch.

The story is an epic adventure in which a group of humans with the ability to bend the individual substances of the Earth travel around the world in an effort to teach the Avatar how to manipulate them. These substances are Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The Avatar is a spiritual being reincarnated repetitively from body to body. It exists to aid humans in their suffering and to bring tranquility to the Earth.

The Avatar in this story is a young 12-year old boy named Aang, who comes from the Air Temples of the Air Nomads. He runs away when he finds out that he's the Avatar and coincidentally escapes in time before Firelord Sozin (king of the Fire Nation) torches the temples with a comet in an effort to destroy Aang, who would supposedly end his attempts to conquer the Earth Kingdom.

When Aang runs away on his pet sky bison, he falls into the ocean due to a storm. Overpowered by the churning waves, he sinks below the water and the Avatar state (a condition in which the Avatar combines all his/her past experience with the experience of the other Avatars into one, becoming stronger than before) caused the water to freeze, preserving him in ice.

The gayest and most overrated show that has ever been known to the human race, and is obviously a half assed RIP OFF of Anime.

Interesting facts to know about Avatar is that:

1. Most Avatar fans hate and bash on Anime, yet they dont even realize that they ARE watching a show that is mostly Anime itself.

2.Avatar is watched mostly by canadian fags that have no life whatsoever, and would love to meet and fuck Katara/Aang in real life.

3.Avatar is Animes BITCH. Without Anime Avatar would be another gay TV show for kids.

It's an OK show on Nicklelodeon. OK, not great. Infact, it's just above the shitting line. It is you're classic, I'd say stereotypical, good-vs-evil, children-saving-the-world plot. Most people just like it because of the animation... and, no, it's not anime. It's American animation imitating Japanese anime. At least it's not as bad as Teen Titans. The characters are cliche'd such as Aang who is like Goku from DragonballZ. Soka is like the smart-ass, sexist comic relief and Katara is like the wise, feminime runner-up character who will probaly end up falling in love with Aang like most kid-directed shows. Unless, Nickledeon thinks that is inappropiate. There are, of course, the ultimately bad guys but, no neutral side army. It has some good moments and then, the not so good. Overall, I'd rate it: 5-10

Miore stupid nonsense anime trash that replace the good and original cartoons, free of the stupid anime-defined firms and stupid storyline. The angry beavers, invader zim, kim possible, spongebob makeme laugh. The stupid americanime makeme cry. WE ARENT JAPANESE PEOPLE.

A really shitty show on Nickelodeon. Centers around a twelve-year-old kid with superpowers and his dysfunctional homosexual friends.
