+519 The show Avatar: The Last Airbender had many deeper underlying themes that most kids that watched it probably didn't catch on to, amirite?

AVATAR!

Avatar was so much more than just a kids' show. Such a shame that the best show on Nick was also probably the last good one that'll ever come around.

At least their making a spin off.

Oh, yeah, I've heard of that. I have my doubts for it, though. Avatar ended nicely, and it would take something really big to follow it up and make it work.

Does anyone know when it's coming out. I'm tired of all the re-runs.

2011. It's rumored to be a min-series though, but that might not be true and it may change depending on how well it does.

I love this show so much. I still watch it. So does my brother.

A direct sequel would have rocked, but i have hopes for the spin-off

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There weren't enough loose ends for a direct sequel to have been very good. An extra episode about Zuko's mom would have been awesome.

Yeah! What's up with that?

Dude, I heard the creators are writing a comic (manga?) that continues the series that's schedualed to come out in January. We might find out what happened to his mom! Sorry I'm responding after like, a year, I was just looking through random comments.

i'm not sure even i understand these underlying themes.

Haha. I probably missed some even though I've watched the series all the way through probably 20 times or so.

exactly. i just watched it because it looked cool.

M. Night Shyamalan didn't catch on either.

This. Or maybe he did, but just made the movie crap for an added TWIST!

One of the characters is not what they seem... Shocker.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh my god. That was the WORSE movie I've ever seen. It didn't have the tone of the shows, all of the characters were screwed up, and it was racist as well >_<. Poor Aang! They screwed him over.

ok i feel dumb :( what are these themes everybody knows about??

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(wait, whaaaaa?): Obviously you must be a kid then. Comingofage: zuko War within yourself/strong internal conflict: Zuko Duty vs saving the one you love: Aang when he willingly loses the ability to go into the avatar state Also, the war for the Fire Nation is pretty deep. And Azula going crazy, kids would think she simply went crazy, older viewers would see why, what led her down that road, etc. Power grabbing: Ozai doing away with Azulon (most likely) and casting Ursa off (who probably killed Azulon to save Zuko) The whole Ba Sing Se incident with the Jun Lee's and mind washing. Kids would have missed most of that, especially themes in Season 2 and 3, which were really dark for some episodes.

Ju-Dees** but anyway. that show was BEAST. i hate that director for screwing over the movie :(

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That show was amazing. I was really satisfied with the ending though, so the spin-off better not screw it up.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The spin-off takes place 75 years later, with the new avatar, so Aang is dead. The new avatar Korra has mastered water, earth and fire but has to master air from Tenzin, Aang and Katara's son.
