Forums - General - So Avatar: the Last Airbender is really good. I'm shocked!

UnstableGriffin on 20 July 2010

Avatar: The Last Airbender is a great show, that is true.

But I can't feel but to be creeped out by some of the fangirls. Luckily, they still haven't(I think...) reached the unholy levels of Doctor Who and Sonic the Hedgehog fangirl... dom.



He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

It's one of those series that really grows on you. I was meh on the whole thing back when it first came out, but now i watch it on a daily basis on Nicktoons Network.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I really liked it too, the only bad things for me where that sometimes the drawings werent all that great, childish dialog and jokes sometimes(Yeah, I know its aimed at kids) and I didnt like the ending, more precisely the last fight, I felt it wasnt as brutal as I was expecting.

But animation is great and the story was very entertaining, Its a shame they apparently ruined it with the movie.

I loved the ending!

The fight with the Firelord and Aang was really good before and after he entered the Avatar State and I really liked how he finished the fight.  It was cool how he stayed true to himself and took away his power rather than his life.

Yeah, my one problem with that is that he magically (yes, magically) sleepwalked in the middle of the night towards a 40 ton lion turtle that taught how to not take his life through an ancient art that he just so happened to know and he just happened to be in the neighborhood to teach it to Aang. And even though Energybending was before Element bending, it can still take away the power of Element bending. Makes a lotta sense. Oh, and for some reason a lion turtle (an animal) is able to learn the art and teach it to Aang through freaking telepathy. It was a bit convenient.

The Lion Turtle was weird too, but I assumed he was a spirit of some sorts since the tracker animal the chick had couldn't track Aang.  You could say it couldn't track him because he was in the ocean but the chick actually said it was as though he didn't exist, not he went to sea (which I assume she has tried to track people that have gone to sea before).

That would answer why it magically appeared, could summon Aang, and knew spirit bending (which he should be able to do since he's the Avatar).

Though, yeah, it was pretty convenient.  It would have been nice if they foreshadowed it a bit, but not too worried about it.

Spirits can't appear in the physical world, and Aang wasn't in the Spirit World.

Maybe it's a spirit that took a physical form like the fish.  Or whatever about the angry spirit for that panda bear?

And when did they say spirits couldn't appear in the physical world?  Didn't one of the old avatars wives get its face stolen from that one face stealer spirit?  Did she go to the spirit world or did they not say?
