Avatar: The Last Air bender, the TV show that connected with Children

At the cold and snowy South Pole, a black colored ship arrived at a small unprotected village. There were no soldiers, except for a teenager with poor knowledge of fighting. The ship lowered a walkway for soldiers and a teenage boy out of the ship. This teenage boy was looking for someone, the Avatar.

In a world where people can control one of the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire- the Avatar’s adventures start. The people who live in the Avatar world are split into four groups based on the elements each can control. These groups became nations and all kept to themselves and used their ability to survive. The Avatar, a powerful being born once every generation, can bend all four elements.

The Avatar TV show is not a normal cartoon. It is watched by millions of children and was nominated for Best Animated Television Production Produced for Children in 2009. Even after more than a decade, it is still a popular cartoon that kids watch.

Fans of Avatar immersed themselves in the series right from the first episode when Katara a water bender and her brother Sokka find Aang and his air buffalo inside an iceberg. They start their long journey worldwide helping Aang master all four elements to stop the Fire Nation from conquering all nations while keeping the audience entranced with the plot.

A common favorite with this TV show is the characters. I love that every single character is unique, even some of the minor characters. A fan-favorite character is the cabbage vendor whose cabbages are always getting destroyed due to the Avatar’s frequent battles with the Fire nation.

The Avatar was continued as the Legend of Korra, Avatar: The Last Airbender live action, and also Avatar: The Way of Water. But in every one of these series, Avatar: The Avatar: The Last Airbender, is the one that truly captured the heart of its audience.
