In case you were wondering, THIS IS NOT SILLY LITTLE KIDS SHOW!!! Yes, it airs on a kid based network, and yes kids will like the bending action, but to understand the complexity and the beauty of some of these episodes, you have to be a teen or adult. I'm a teenage girl, and I have a life, believe me. I'm not some strange kid who spends all their time watching TV. This is the kind of show I LIVE for! Okay, I admit it. I didn't really care for this shows first season. Back then it was mostly a "kids show." I'd seen an episode or two and judged it. But after not watching Avatar for the longest time, I tuned back in (out of boredom and curiosity) about halfway through season 2. And boy am I glad I did!! Because that's when Avatar's plot really got intense.

Avatar (Avatar: the last Airbender being the official name) is about a world where a percentage of the people have the power to control one of the four elements. This is called bending. There are water, earth, fire and airbenders, whom live in four different nations throughout the world. There is one individual who has the power to learn all four elements and keeps the world in balance, called the Avatar. But when the Fire Nation declares war for ultimate power, the Avatar strangely disappears. After 100 years of war, a brother and sister discover the Avatar, an airbender, encased in an Ice-burg, frozen in time. Now he must learn to cope with his destiny, master the elements, and save the world before a comet comes at summers end, giving the fire nation unstoppable power. New allies are made and sides are chosen, as the Avatar learns to except his inevitable destiny.

Oh my god, the drama, the action, the romance, and even a bit of comedy, this show has all you could possibly ask for!! The shocking cliff hangers and teasers for Avatar will leave you rolling around on the floor I'm not kidding guys!! Never have I been so addicted to any show, ever.

And what amazing themes, like destiny, balance, love, power, war. (Watch, "The Guru" and you know what I'm talking about.) I've never felt just so enlightened, or amazed at anything as I have with this show. Just the heart-pounding emotion and (oh my god) drama that pours of the season 2 finale! Oh my god what can I say.

And don't even get me started on the fandom. And the shipping!! It's a crazy world out there, the world of shipping. Once you go in, you can't get out. Everyone wants their ship to be cannon, and that's half the fun! It's vicious let me tell you, just brutal! (Oh and Kataang for the win by the way!! Wooo!!) If you're going to get into Avatar, I would suggest you watch one of the better episodes before judging it. For example, "The Awakening," "The Desert," "The Chase," "Lake Laogai," just to name a couple! (I would have said "The Guru," and "The Crossroads of Destiny," but that would give away WAY too much! The two episodes that make up the season 2 finale are the BEST so far in my opinion!) And with season 3 just having premiered on September 21st, and new episodes for 10 straight weeks, the Avatar fandom has a lot to look forward to!! My god, season 3's been promised to be the best, most dramatic season yet, and it's the last season too. So if you're just getting ready to become an "avatard," as we call ourselves, you picked a good time, cause we've got a hell of a good season ahead of us!! The good times are here again!
