Avatar: The Last Airbender

 Avatar: The Last Airbender

    One of my new favorite shows is Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's an animated Nickelodeon show that started airing in 2005. All 3 seasons are on Netflix and it may only be rated TV-Y7 but I think it's for anyone.
     The Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation are the nations of the world. There are benders from all of the nations that can bend the elements. The world has been unbalanced since the Fire Nation started a war trying to take over all other nations. The Avatar is the most powerful being because they can bend all four elements. There is only one Avatar who gets reincarnated into the next avatar after they die. The Avatar is also supposed to be the bridge between the human and spirit world. The Avatar had been gone for 100 years until siblings Katara and Sokka find Aang the Avatar. He had been frozen for 100 years and is only twelve because of it. They travel the world with Aang so he can master Water, Earth, and Fire bending so he can defeat the Fireloard and end the war. 
    I love this show so much because of how funny the show and characters are and how funny they are as a group. I also love the bending because it is so cool to see them use it in fights. All of their adventures are amazing and you can learn some important lessons from the show. One of my favorite characters is Appa, Aang's giant flying bison. 
    The nations are actually based one the Inuit, Chinese, Japanese, and Tibetan cultures. They also made comics that take place after the show and I do plan to read them. There is actually a sequel called the Legend of Korra, which follows the next Avatar 70 years after Avatar: The Last Airbender ends. You actually see old Katara and Aang's kids as adults. I love both shows so much and I hope this gave you some insight on what they're about!
