Current Events > I just realized that Harry Potter and The Last Airbender are basically the same

(+) Yeah! (+)

Young, naive "chosen one" protagonist who is accompanied by a hard-working, intelligent girl and a goofy, clumsy boy... all who are tasked to defeat a "dark lord" from committing genocide in the name of uplifting the race they believe is "superior". Oh and the "dark lord' is responsible for killing the "chosen one"'s family.

Where's the originality?

To me, they're the same in the sense that I think both sucks.

This also describes the first Mortal Kombat movie tbh

Probably a dozen other stories that would fit that synopsis, too. Good stories tend to get retold a lot.

Fire isnt dark smh

There's more to a story than its basic synopsis tbqh

That's like 90% of shonen anime too.

Lol no their not

Aang comes from a line of past avatar's and so it's sort of his unofficial job to bring balance throughout all 4 nations along with defeating the fire lord

Harry is just part of some "prophecy" were he must win because it's foretold or some bullshit

Plus the supporting cast of avatar shits on anybody at Hogwarts

Also I don't think the fire lord killed Aangs mom n dad

>our hero - a warrior-monk with mystic powers who's the last of his clan - leaves his friends to go train with an impossibly-old guru
>guru teaches him that he must forgo emotional attachment
>friends get captured by the evil lord's ruthless enforcer, who has been relentlessly pursuing them and finally succeeded by infiltrating a friendly city
>our hero sees a vision of his friends in peril, decides to cut his training short and fly to their aid
>the guru warns our hero that he is not ready; our hero ignores him
>our hero goes up against the enforcer, gets his ass handed to him, and would have died if not for the intervention of his love interest
>our heroes fly away from the city in defeat, which has now fallen into the hands of the evil imperial forces.

Did I just describe the climax of Avatar: TLA Book 2, or Empire Strikes Back?
