I know it's childish, but that shows the shiznittlebangsnipsnapsack. I gave that show a chance, and now I love it.
First episode of Book III premiered last Friday. For 9 weeks (half the season) they'll be playing 8:30 p.m. on Friday; or if you have a social life, 12:00 p.m. Saturday on Nick.

I enjoy it. I bought Season one on DVD for like $15... watched parts of Season 2... started recording recently to catch up and get in with the new season.

Ohh.. I thought you were talking about YOUR avatar..
About the show - my little cousin in England absolutely loves it, so when I was visiting I watched it with him. It doesn't seem too bad..

The show grew on me. At first I dismissed it as being a pathetic attempt at a serious, anime cartoon. But when I saw a couple of episodes not only were they enjoyable it was quite deep! The story is cliche at times but its quite enjoyable. It makes you want to see more.
I was glued to the TV during the season two finale and couldn't wait to see what happens now.
But I wonder, if they make a season 4 does this mean that the show will end? By then Aang should have mastered all bending arts and defeated the Fire Kingdom, unless they create a season 5 and they are STILL fighting the Fire Kingdom...

Well part of the Avatar methos is that after one dies (while not in the Avatar state), another one is born elsewhere. So technically, they can make the story ever lasting. Though if Aang dies, then so does the Airbender race.

I'm a fan and this season is going to be EPIC.
It is my understanding that the arc that involves Aang will be over after this season and the creators will start a new arc with new characters in the same world. After the Avatar masters all four elements and saves the world by defeating an entire nation how could his next task possibly compete? I get the feeling that the execs will be putting a lot of pressure to reuse these characters despite their story being complete though.

I like most of the voice actors (saka, aang, soku, and uncle), but I wouldn't mind seeing new characters. Although, I think they should reuse aang like they reused Avatar Roshi.

which is weird, cause if Aang did die, what would happen when they got around to an air bender in the elemental cycle of avatars?

Perhaps... Aang could procreate with someone else - keeping the Air tribe blood alive?
Title: RE: Anyone an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan?
Post by: Stogi on September 28, 2007, 06:32:41 PM
I never even thought of that. Still, when it came back around to airbenders it would be 3 generations down the line.

This show is drawing near it's end. I just watched the Day of Black Sun part 1 and 2. I and becoming sad and depressed but still happy and addicted as it comes to a close. love this show.

Wow. Third season took forever to finish.
What'd everyone/anyone think about it?
Title: Re: Anyone an Avatar fan?
Post by: nickmitch on July 20, 2008, 02:01:04 PM
One thing I can't stand about this show is the scheduling. Early on, I couldn't keep up with when the new episodes aired, so I'd miss them. But then, I'd try to catch the reruns, but it'd only be like the same 3 episodes. I really wish I'd been able to keep watching because I saw one episode and was confused as **** trying to piece together what'd been going on since the last time I watched it, which was a while ago.
Still a good show.
Title: Re: Anyone an Avatar fan?
Post by: UncleBob on July 20, 2008, 02:21:13 PM
Yeah, I don't know what the deal was with the scheduling. I set my DVR to record every episode of Avatar and it never caught anything (even reruns).
Then, I was reading that new episodes were airing, so I ended up watching them online (yeah, I suck) only to find out they hadn't aired in the US until this past week. Thankfully, my DVR thought worthy to record this week's run.
I wish the season sets would go down in price. $50 is way too much and I still need to pick up season two.

It's a little slow right now........I suggest downloading a torrent. I saw the finale, but I'm downloading it any (at 150 k/b mind you).
First of all, the series is not over. There is still going to be a season 4.
Second of all, HOLY ****! That was the best ending ever. Everything that I wanted to happen, happened. This show is the greatest. Hopefully the movie will capture a fraction of the shows greatness.

I don't think spoiler warnings are necessary, but just in case... Everything I've read says that the creators are finished telling the story of Aang. Apparently, there have been talks of a "Season 4", but if it happens, it'll feature a different cast of characters in a different time frame (idle speculation on future characters or past characters?). While it would be a continuation of the general Avatar storyline, the series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is, supposedly, over. Season four would be treated as a new series, similar to how several different Transformers series can be related, but still be different shows.

I've actually watched the show twice, and I've got to admit it's pretty awesome.

Ya my qualm was I wanted something higher quality, avatarchapters didn't release that till yesterday. It may be 700 megabytes but I'm not watching the FINALE to a good show in that quality.

It was great. It wrapped up all the major points in a tight little bow so we didn't feel gypped, but still left some things open so that we were left wanting more, but didn't feel like the show overstayed it's welcome. I was pleased. :)

I agree, good writing. Love the humor in that show too.
You know, I wonder what ever happened to Combustion man?
And did window enjoy the show? lol

You mean Sparky Sparky Boom Man? Didn't Prince Zuko take care of him at the Western Air Temple? That was a pretty big fall.
I want to know what happened to Zuko's mom.... It seems odd they brought that up, just to drop it...
Title: Re: Anyone an Avatar fan?
Post by: DAaaMan64 on July 22, 2008, 12:18:37 AM
I think they were afraid to drag it out. So I think the solution was just let it go the way they did because they basically implied that Zuko would find her.

They need to make more avatar...

I need my fix.
Hopefully M. Night Myalamananalamanana doesn't **** up the movie. There is so much potential for a story like this.

oh great, he's directing it?
I'm hesitant they can move the story farther, but I'll give them the chance.
It really makes me nervous when they do this stuff.

Knowing him, he'll put some insanely stupid twist in it.

I quite enjoy fights when Ty Lee show's up. It's funny when her victim's get that dumb founded look on their face because she just nailed the good pressure points ;).

Sokka being funny and stupid is very good in the show. I love it when he throws on the beard. Quite hilarous.

Post by: JoeTrumpet on July 26, 2008, 12:32:44 PM
I read that the creators of Avatar found M. Night Shyamalan's (sp) script for the first film even more faithful to the story than they would've personally had it (they suggested some things to change, but they loved what he did), so I don't think we need to worry about some stupid twists.
Fantastic finale to a wonderful (and underrated!) series. It makes me sad that it's over, but I guess we'll see what happens with the series in the future. I expected them to make a future Avatar and wrap up some of the loose ends of this storyline in that one, but I hadn't considered the point about the air benders dying out.

necro-bump...
If you're like me, you really like this series, but $50 box sets are crazy. Well... DeepDiscountDVD.com (http://www.deepdiscount.com/DVD---Nickelodeon-Buy-1-Get-1-Free_stcVVcatId544541VVviewcat.htm?utm_campaign=22550&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=03-31-09&?utm_source=WhatCounts&promoCode=B1G1NICK0904) is running Buy One, Get One Free on Nick DVDs! I had already picked up season one some time ago when Best Buy ran an error price in their ad (thanks Best Buy!), so this let me get seasons two and three for about $50. They're OoS right now, but it'll be worth the wait - aside from that one price mistake at Best Buy, I've never seen these box sets go on sale...

I just finished rewatching the entire series. God, that show is awesome. At first, I thought I liked the action the best, but it's really the development of the characters that keeps me so interested.
If you haven't seen any of the episodes, do yourself a favor and watch it. This isn't a normal "I love this show, and you should too" type of comment. This show is literally one of the greatest animated series ever to be created. It's like if Pixar were to make a TV show for a change.
Anyway, I'm bumping this thread to let you guys know that "The Last Airbender" (the title for the live-action movie) teaser has been released along with the full cast.
I don't know what to think. I actually kind of feel disgusted. The cast pisses me of (except for Aasif Mandvi!) I always thought of the Fire Nation to be Japanese, not Indian. As for the Water Tribe, I thought they were more South American, and the earth kingdom more Persian. Air Nomads, are well, Tibetan.
Anyway, the effects look great, but as much as the teaser is suppose to relieve doubt, it just incites more from me. I really really really hope the don't **** it up.
