Obviously it's way after my time, I didn't even know it was Nickelodeon (or that Nick did anything good after the 90s)

I've heard of the show but not much details.

If you like cartoons and can appreciate that it is indeed intended for children, but it is mature for the intended audience, it's great. I've watched it through 3 or 4 times and own it on DVD.

Definitely watching it from the mindset that it is a children's cartoon and appreciating it as such.

My first impression is that it seems like that teen titans show, a show also after my time but a lot of people here watch/talk about.

It's really good, especially once you get to season 2.

There are some occasions where the fact that it is for kids kinda holds it back, like if the good guys just straight up murdered folks they'd have a much easier time lol. That said, it's mostly just a nitpick and the show is great.

It really is quite good. It also gets points for importance: it's one of those shows where basically every (Western animated, in this case) show produced after it has tried to be it, so you almost have to watch it to understand anything that came later.

Yes, with Legend of Korra being right behind it, as a fantastic sequel.

Oh yes, Korra is a more "mature" Avatar that is also great. If you like Avatar continue on to Korra

It's PG and the first season is a bit wobbly since it doesn't follow a linear story until the second season. Most people here were tweens or teens when they saw it and you're an adult.

But there's a good chance you'll like it.

Korra isn't that great. Season one is good, season two is bad, season three is, well it IS great, season four is okay, not as bad as season two.

It's still a good show but compared to Avatar? It's only better then average.

Relient said it best, I think. It's clearly a kids show, and you need to keep that mindset as you watch it, but it's wonderfully done from beginning to end with only a few hiccups here and there.

Did they just add it? I just searched for it last weekend and didn't see it.

I started the Dragon Prince and am enjoying it. I understand Avatar is supposed to be way better.

Edit: Ah shit it's just UK Netflix

It's definitely on Netfilx UK. It's kinda annoying since about a month ago I rewatched the series, and the first place I checked was Netflix.

Overall the show is great, as others have said it is a kid's show, but it's a kid's show that still great as an adult. The begining is the worst part, the first 10, or so episodes are kinda eh, whatever, but it builds up from then until the third season. The third season is still pretty good but not quite as good as season 2.

I'm not that big a fan of Korra, it isn't the worse, but I wouldn't rate it particularly highly.

I never get the hate for season 2. I thought it was fantastic, loved seeing her fight non humans primarily.

How come airbenders are the ones that have the ability to also control all the other elements? Why wouldn't the other tribes also have an avatar? What's so unique about airbending?

Also they automatically assume the bald kid is the avatar I thought it was going to be more of a reveal, or is it kind of a matrix neo the one situation where you see how he becomes the one and controls all the elements in some epic fashion.

The avatar cycles through the nations. Its explained when they visit the air temple (in episode 3 i think). Earth, Fire, Air, Water.

Its good. Not groundbreaking in the grand scheme of things or anything but a good example of anime style week to week storytelling done with a western cartoon. Good enough that other western cartoons started trying to mimic the style

Just watch. Things are explained. Just not immediately.

Asking just sets yourself up for spoilers.

Don't watch the movie. Its like all the best parts of the show stripped out and removed so characters can explain the plot and their motivations and the backstory because it condenses 20 episodes of the show into one movie.

Oh yeah, never gave my opinion on the show. It doesn't really break any new ground, but it uses the tropes of the genre about as expertly as you can. Fantastic pacing, great action, great world-building, great characterization/development. About the only things holding it back are a handful of subpar episodes and that it has to censor itself because its a nickelodeon show, and those are pretty minor flaws imo. I'd love to see the version of avatar where it wasn't aiming for a kids audience.

Korra's not as good imo. Its still fun, but Avatar had a better cast.

Season 3 of Korra is better than TLA

Korra 3 > TLA > Korra 1,2,4

Just the entire arc, the new characters, the more mature themes, the animation and it has some of the best fight in the entire series. I don't want to go into details
