Whats the appeal is it actually that good

>>116891593It isn’t thaaaaat good, way too overhyped but it managed to do a lot right in a simple and efficient way in which many other shows fair at

>>116892057>The final episodes are filled with deus ex machinas and cop outs.Yeah, it’s on me for succumbing to the hype, I expected more , and although it did many things right and I admit it has many good characters I expected more, Something like every character reachIng Zuko level of development When he was the few characters that barely managed to reach the expectations I had for the show,I’ve seen better on shows like Samurai Jack, Full metal alchemist brotherhood, Hunter x hunter etc.

>>116891750Honestly the social messaging felt deep at the time, but now is one of the weakest points for me

>>116891750>good charactersnice joke

>>116891904>weak character developmentZuko is one of the best developed characters of animation history

>>116896011its bait

>>116891593bending is the best magic system for animation conceived so far. It is visually interesting, allows the characters to have intense fights without being overtly violent or laden with gore, it allows for creative solutions to conflict that isn't just "who has the higher power level," and on top of all that they gave it a mysterious lore that explains just enough without becoming "midichlorians."

Not at all, it's 6/10 at best.Aang is incredibly bland, Katara is almost a Mary Sue, Sokka is also incredibly bland, Ozai is a memelord that nobody cares about, lion turtle deus ex machina LOL, cop-out final fight LMAO.

>>116896115what's a 10/10? or a 9/10?

>>116896151The final fight between Zuko and Azula is 9/10 despite being so short, I will give it that much credit.Batman the animated series is a 9/10, original SJ is 7/10.

>>116896097Korra though shit on that

>>116896210>BUT KORRAno one cares, ATLA is still good

>>116896115Sokka being bland isn't true. If you did a Duck Amuck esque skit with him, his personality would shine through and remain recognizable.

>>116896226Okay, but you complain about the Midchlorians, a sequel thing when Korra did the same thing

>>116891593It's the best American animated series ever, and probably second only to Cowboy Bebop overall.

>>116891593Boring af when it first aired and still boring af 15 years later.

>>116896374He obviously was the original poster since he replied first. Also you sound more bitchy so it weakens your argument of being the poster.

>>116896097>bending is the best magic system for animation conceived so far. It is visually interestingNo, it looks silly.

>>116896210No it didn't

>>116896396why are you on Holla Forums if you think cartoons are kiddy shit

>>116896674Nope it's just AtLA that's kiddie shit

>>116896559hell of an argument there champ

Shocked this board hasn't died off because of all the Holla Forumsntrarians deciding they hate oxygen cuz it's popular

>>116896783Ozai was so fucking flat. I’m not saying he has to be this super complex character, I just felt no emotions from him. All we really see is how he affects his kids, and that kinda works but we don’t have a good idea of the man himself. There’s the comics I guess but they generally suck

>>116896688All benders look like this.

If the series wasn't on Netflix right now, you'd probably think it was great.

>>116891593Its not even middling anime tier but because it was western cartoon that tried to have actual continuity and some drama everyone who grew up with it treats it like the most amazing shit ever..

>>116891593Season 2 is the best individual season of any animated show I've ever seen, in my opinion the whole show is worth it just for that.Season 1 is a bit rough around the edges but still pretty good and season 3 kind of shits the bed, but I generally liked it.

It's crap, I rather watch Tales of Arcadia.

>>116897412This but ironically. The middling tier of anime is large and awful, Avatar is reasonably good by those standards.

>>116896765Yeah we get it, you saw the show when your 7 years old and thought it was extremely dark and mature at the time. The world building is shit, its just lazy fantasy Asia world made by some yellow fever incels where everyone has Planeteer powers, they couldn't even be arsed to come up with unique creatures just lazily smash two other animals together.

>>116897508Yeah we get it, you're a bitter faggot who can't just grow the fuck up and stop policing other people because you're a woman who thinks everything is a god damn competition and whatever show you flick your bean to is losing./thread

>>116897508I dont think anyone has considered Avatar particularly dark, maybe "mature" or dealing with heavier themes but its always been considered a light hearted show.What makes the world building isnt only that its fantasy Asia but how bending effects the cities in interesting ways. For example how airbenders live atop of mountains and the below the sheer of cliffs, or ba sing se and Omashu use earthbending to transport goods, people, and mail.I can admit the mixed animals arnt the most creative but the creative designs for creatures mainly come from the spirits who were widely underused imo
