Show Summary

In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element.More Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic. In each generation, only one bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifested in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony. Then, the Fire Nation launched a war against the other three nations. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world domination. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken. In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The Water tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation. Season 1 is titled "Book One: Water", and Season 2 is titled "Book Two: Earth." Each of these seasons contains twenty "chapters." Season 3 is titled "Book Three: Fire", and contains 21 "chapters."

    Southern Ice Tribe Members Sokka and Katara find Aang the last Air Nomand and the Avatar who has not been seen in over a 100 years. He must master all 4 elements Fire, Air, Water, Earth and save the world from the evil Fire Nation. hide show

    This show is great. It has tons of action and the comedy is even good for a kids centered TV show. I hope the movie is as good as the show. The Charaters are all great. Aang is a fun loving boy but he is the avatar and his intense power. Katra is the sweet loving girl who is a water bender and teaches Aang waterbending. Sokka is a warrior of the water tribe with heavy sarcasm and comes up with some good ideahs. Zuko is the banished Prince who must capture the avatar. His uncle Iroh was a firece genreall and now mentors young Zuku. He loves tea and takes life very realxed unlike Zuku who is very series. Toph is one of the most powerful Earthbenders there is she is young and blind too she joins the gang of Aang, Sokka and Katra in season 2. Fire lord OZI the main bad guy of the series. Oppa is Aang flying bison. Momo is Aang pet who is a flying lemer. Azulu, Zuku evil sister who hates him. Admiral Zoah and easly anger Firebender who hunts the Avatar as well. Suki a Kashick warror that hase a love intrest with Sokka. Hakoda the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe and father of Sokka and Katara. Avatar Roku who was the previous Avatar incarnation who existed before Aang. (sorry for any spelling and gramer mistakes not best at that.

    I love this show, i didnt think it would be good, but now i realize that it is amazing, it has great morals, along with great humor, action, and an amazing story, I wish they would continue the story, instead of a live action movie. hide show

    If they were to continue the story by creating more books, i think the creators would make a lot more bank/money and that nickelodeon would be saved, I really hope they bring this show back, like they continued the rest of the story has a short book, by zuko finding his mother, aang trying to get people to stop hating fire nation and spreading peace and helping people back up on there feet, and then they could create a new book where everything is restored but then evil rizes and azula attacks zuko and becomes a bigger psychopath, by this time aang is sixteen and everyone ages, and they are mature, but still funny, and appa finds a female sky bison and has more sky bison , same with momo, lol just a thought, i really hope they bring this show back

    Avatar was a great show, until season 3. hide show

    Avatar was show that captured my eyes and my heart. I was amazed when Nicklodeon picked up this show, because It was not like the typical Nick shows. This show is about a boy who isn't sure if he wants to follow his destiny and is overwhelmed by the responsibility given to him. From the Boy In The Iceberg to Ba Sing Se, the show is an amazing adventure. The animation is beautiful and the character are very Three Dimesional. After seaosn 2, I couldn't wait for season 3 and after I saw the season 3 trailer, my patient really wore thin. But after watching season 3 I was disappointed, everything seemed to be toned down, went to fast, and had less serious episode. Despite, the less than steller third season, Avatar is great show, that I believe many will enjoy.

    The new avatar sets out to stop the fire lord from taking over the world. hide show

    The new avatar is a boy named Aang. He ran away from his home when he was 12, because he found out he was the avatar. Two water tribe siblings, by the name of Katara and Sokka, find him one hundred years later fozen in an ice burg. After Katara accidentally frees him from it, Aang immediately falls in love with her, giving new meaning to the phrase, love at first sight. The three travel the world together, helping Aang find masters for water, earth, and fire. While they are trying to find teachers, a very angry, exiled fire nation prince named Zuko, is trying to capture Aang to regain his honor.

    Saved Nickelodeon hide show

    This show is the best Americanized Anime ever. Back in 05 I thought this show was going to be a piece of crap (Because back in 05 Nickelodeon was going extremely downhill). I then gave it a try and saw the 1 hour premiere on Feb 05 since I don't judge the book by the cover, then I kept on watching new eps every Friday and I was amazed. The plot/storyline is amazing, the animation is better then all of the past Nicktoons, and the character development is amazing. Each season got better and better. The series if full of twist (Especially in Book 3), and excitement. Unlike most Series finals THIS one was actually good, and I liked the fact that it was a 2 hour premiere instead of a half-hour premiere. This cartoon is the best.
