Some people consider ATLA to be a kids show but that is definitely not true. The show brings up important life topics such as: family, love, friendship, trust, emotional growth, abuse of power, righteousness, loyalty and many more. In addition the character development of every single character in the show is so well shown. You see each character's background which allows you to understand the reason behind their actions and opinions, at the same time however you also get to see all events that make them change outdated opinions or events that allow them to overcome their pain. Another thing has to do with bending. The way they represent bending and the separation of "cultures" is extremely important and relevant to today's society. You see how the ones with the most power abuse it to remain in control and to suffocate the less powerful. It is one great show and I very highly recommend it to people of all ages.
