Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

I case anyone doesn't to click the dongbufeng link, here's something they link to on their frontpage:

http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=252

It's a very detailed interview with the Track Team, the two that make the sound and music for the show. It contains a LOT of mp3's of music and leitmotif from the show.

It includes the "Water Tribe Theme," the music that plays when Aang, Sokka, and Katara go through the water locks and enter the canals of the Northern Water Tribe. It's one of my favorite pieces of music from any show or movie, ever.

LOL. They have a sound clip called "Kataang". :hoho


Thank you for the link, I love the Avatar sounds/music.

Kataang sound clip! The Track Team ships as well huh? :LOS

I love how the comedic clips are more FLCL than Hanna Barbara. :amuse

JZ: Early on in the development process Bryan and Mike wrote the Avatar 'bible' which was an overview of the story from beginning to end. I believe they decided around that time that it would take around three seasons to tell the entire story.

I must read this Avatar 'bible'.

This was a very insightful interview. And yes we still need a soundtrack!:yell

What interview?

Day Of Black Stache is indeed a funny video.
So hey since there's not much trickling in in the form of spoilers how's about we check out some Kung Fu?
For those in the know, Toph uses a different form of Kung Fu for her earthbending than the other earthbenders we've seen in the show. The task performing reference for her moves was handed over to Sifu Manny, a good friend of our dear Sifu Kisu.
I don't think any original video of Sifu Manny's sessions has been made public but Kisu posted up a video on his Youtube page of Sifu Manny doing a demonstration. So enjoy and when you're watching this just remember, this guy is Toph.

Finale in May? :nod:nuts

[Superstarseven]

^ Damn, beat me to the punch.
Alright...let the speculation begin. Three 60 minute TV Movies in 2009?

[Jove]

http://community.livejournal.com/avatar_fans/2257573.html

Finale in May? :nod:nuts

Wow, that would be a seriously condensed air schedule.

If this thing is real, I'm really interested in these 1-hour movies. I wonder if they will expand upon parts of the story of Aang and Zuko that were lightly treated, or if they will be completely unrelated, almost acting as test pilots for potential future seasons.

[Superstarseven]

There you go Jove, when you get up to the mic during question time make sure that M&B hear you as you ask that very same question.

[Jove]

There you go Jove, when you get up to the mic during question time make sure they M&B hear you as you ask that very same question.

As long as this thing is verified as real by then. If not, that "question" becomes a legally binding and documented "suggestion." :plot

[The Cheat]

So the finale is actually coming out on may? Y'know it shows how succesful avatar is since it actually will a 2-hour insted of the tradinational 1 hour nick movie. Avatar is one of the few cartoons that releashed between 2005 and now that does not suck ass.

[Hana]

10 episodes in TWO MONTHS! :WOW

I'm only sad that the advertising has nothing between the games and the live action films. (Hoping for a new Avatar series to pop up....)

Did no one notice that 3 ORIGINAL movies will be airing on Nick next year. I'm soooo excited! Maybe it will be a whole new story arc.

[Mider T]

^ See? I told you.

Nick and logic don't do the waltz very well

[Superstarseven]

It's only now, a few hours later, that I'm beginning to cast doubt on the validity of this ad flyer. I'm starting to look at it really critically, it's a couple things here and there that look a little shady. It looks 100% real but goshdamn if this 'aint the internet.
We'll see by either tonight or tomorrow if this thing can be verified.

[The Cheat]

So its true that the finale airs in may?

[Mider T]

You bet Appa's furry white ass

[Sylar]

So hears my question. Avatar is obviously one of Nick's most popular shows and its definately the best in terms of quality, so WHY THE HELL DO YOU GO MONTHS WITHOUT EVEN MENTIONING THE SHOW? Help me out here guys? I don't get it.

[Mider T]

It's a pattern, they do this every season of the show, despite saying they won't. I think they do it for the ratings, possibly the lulz. Nevertheless, it draws out the same reactions from fans every year...

[Vault]

So hears my question. Avatar is obviously one of Nick's most popular shows and its definately the best in terms of quality, so WHY THE HELL DO YOU GO MONTHS WITHOUT EVEN MENTIONING THE SHOW? Help me out here guys? I don't get it.

our torture is their pleasure

[The Question]

If it wasn't for a strong, loyal fanbase, Nick would be losing money on Avatar due to the bad marketing and production time. I've got half a mind to send a letter of complaint, but it probably wouldn't matter in the long run unless a lot of other Avatar fans also did it.

And then maybe we'd get nudes..episodes faster. :LOS

I honestly don't understand it, if you're gonna pay to air a certain series wouldn't you want to make sure it does a extremely well so you can make the most money out of it as possible? Honestly the way they handle avatar it's almost like they want to lose money or at least trying if not for that stuborn avatar fanbase that the will do anything to make sure this series see's it course completely through. That silly nick trying so hard to sabotage this one like everything else that's not sponge bob, they need to take a page from CN. The minute CN saw the rating spike from Naruto they whored out their scheduling to make sure they milked that cow, but not nick that just enjoy jerking us around :hmpf

[The Cheat]

I think WAT will air on april 18 or 25. The katara x aang couple is no doubt the best romance ever on a nick show.

Dude....:oh I was just thinking that....the only reason I didn't though is because this is the last *regular season*. If they do a spinoff and try this shit again I'm getting a stickied petition in the plaza.

[Jove]

We'll see by either tonight or tomorrow if this thing can be verified.

Looks pretty close; the girl that posted them posted these follow-up pics:

http://pics.livejournal.com/hlynn/pic/00003d47

http://pics.livejournal.com/hlynn/pic/00005a4d

Nothing from ASN, though. That's the ultimate confirmation.

I do wonder about the airings. Airing a new episode on either the 18th or the 25th would be without any promotion of any kind. We don't even have a leaked airdate, let alone a press release. I wonder if they are going to push the DVD release back, air two episodes a week for three straight weeks of May (the 9th, 16th, and 23rd), and then the four-part finale to cap it off on the fourth (May 30th).

[Taurus Versant]

So wait, we're getting new Avatar soon?

Yes.

:awesome

[Superstarseven]

Well now it's gotten serious.

..Good question. :pek

[JustPimpin]

Aww, I just seen book 3 chapter 1-13, it's so fucking awesome.....

[Sylar]

What community college do you think the marketing director for Nick graduated at? :pek

Is Nick really that dense not to notice that Avatar is one of their best rated (even with their awful marketing of it) and best reviewed shows? Its like ABC not advertising Lost or NBC ignoring Heroes.

[Mider T]

What elementary school do you think the marketing director for Nick dropped out of? :pek

Fixed for the fuckin clarity

[JustPimpin]

You guys think Zuko's going to blow his top and accidently hurt Aang, Katara, Sokka, or Toph? I'm watching book 3 chap. 13 right now.

[Creator]

We're shooting for the 18.. but that's pretty sketchy, especially since that's the weekend of the 'preview' panel. :(

Thats annoying. :notrust

[JustPimpin]

Is avatar book 3 chapter 13 the latest chapter to come out to date?

[Mider T]

No, you still have one more to go.

I think:(

[JustPimpin]

When does it air? When are the "new" book 3 chapter airing, what days of the week and time.... for america...

[Mider T]

Your better off watching it online...who knows with Nick

[Jove]

313 was the last one. Although I'm in America, so I should have no clue that it even exists and aired, according to Nick executives that are shockingly out of touch with modernity.

[Morwain]

313 has aired online 314 we're still waiting on.

[Koi]

I want more epic battles between Appa and Momo. :(

[Taurus Versant]

Don't we all?

And even the directors getting fed up? Something tells me that future versions of Avatar will find their way onto different networks.

All they have to do is give us a damn date and we'd be happy. :notrust

Your new video is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

start to boycott? You think I watch Nickolodeon in my spare time? For what reason, to watch spongebob or contrived tweeny dramas? Yea I don't think so, the only reason I tune in to that station at all is when avatar is on. So yea, I kind have been doing the boycott thing. Yet again I reiterate what kind of businessman doesn't aim to make the most money out of their products especially ones they had to pay for first before selling? Even if someone sells you a bag shit to resell as product wouldn't you try and gussy that shit up as much as possible to get that product to move. Not calling avatar shit or anything, but I think it's about damn time they throw a bow out on that one and freaking advertise it, rerun, do something that keeps us occupied while they take their time removing their heads from their asses.

D'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH ME

[Jove]

I never thought anything would be more frustrating and preposterous than the 9.5 month hiatus between 220 and 301, but this one is getting dangerously close. If they release the dvd with episodes that haven't aired, it will prevail with a Hagler-against-Duran type late-round comeback.

[Taurus Versant]

It can't possibly for the lulz, there are no figures coming out, no comic books, memorabalia, new shows, pilots, movies; Nothing! So why?:(

[Nizuma Eiji]

GIVE US AVATAR or GIVE US DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we might have been kidding before, but after all Nick's bullshit. Either we get a new episode or we run into Nick's HQ with machetes & swords.

I blame Spongebob for that crap.

[The Cheat]

I blame Spongebob for that crap.

Plus,all their other shows, nick has never given a fuck about us.

[Superstarseven]

I blame Spongebob for that crap.

Well I suppose you could put the blame on it being more popular but there's nothing you can do about it. Simply put Avatar just has the distinction of not being as popular as Spongebob. Nick seemed pretty proud of the show when it was claiming it to be their "Harry Potter" or that it was on it's way to becoming that. The only time Nick really pimped out Avatar was before the Secret Of The Fire Nation special and it got around 4.3 million watching. Certainly not the High School Musical 2 basic cable ratings explosion but it was Okay. Now the season finale got 4.4 million I believe and that was through hardly any real big promotion. A few TV ads leading up to it. Now this is the only
reason I can imagine as to why there wasn't any ad push for the Season 3 premiere.
It's almost as if Nick had relied too much on the Internet fandom to tune in and give big numbers. It's not as if the series' numbers were reliant on only the hardcore fans. I can understand that they wanted to hype up their brand new Friday shows but it's as if they forgot that there was a 10 month gap between the end of Season 2 and Season 3. Nick had short clips of The Awakening alongside other returning shows which were probably on 3 month breaks maximum. Sorry Nick but those promos weren't recorded from TV's and uploaded illegally to Youtube so that you can continue your Nazi Hunt because people were interested in what crazy antics would occur on Just Jordan.

Still though maybe it's things like that made the big muckity-mucks at Nickelodeon not focus on the big casual viewership that Avatar relied on week after week during the first 2 seasons.
Sure devoted fan sites, blogs, chat groups and fan fiction are all awesome but there aren't too many 6-11 year olds on those sites, reading those blogs and writing that fan fiction. C'mon now, the show's biggest and most popular fan site is run by a 35 year old married MIT grad.
Holding off on episodes for 4 months and they're funding 3 feature-length films?
Something's wrong there.

[kakoishii]

^ regardless none of those are good reasons. Right now nick is like a warehouse that a stock room filled to the brim with one product, this one product is avatar, while all it's other products are being moderately sold and aren't as filled with products as avatar. You don't even have to be a business school graduate to recognize "oh shit, with got all this product left over we need to find a way to get rid of it fast." Except nick has been neglecting the fact that they've got all these episodes, paid for episodes, that they aren't promoting at the least. If they're so concerned about not getting their target audiences show avatar before or after spongebob so at least avatar can clean up on those viewers and get the preteens interested in it. Start shoveling out merchandis, heck do the easiest and cheapest thing and just rerun the episodes you already have. It makes zero sense to me that they're just not gonna show it because it's not doing as well as they've hoped without even lifting a finger to market it better.

[Kaenboshi]

At this point, I think someone up top is trying to kill it.

[The Question]

If anyone has a mailing address or an email address for Nick, please post it. I think we should start a campaign and have the fans just flood Nick with complaints. It's worked for other shows before.

OMFG WHY DID I PRESS THE SPOILER BUTTON?!? :uwah:uwah:uwah

I just spoiled myself. Now that I know (and I so didn't see this coming...) :cry

If anyone else wants to spoil the finale click HERE (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Avatar-Airbender-Season-3-Volume-4/9384).

But thanks for the release date, Cheat! The art on the cover is made of epic win! Reminds me of Bruce Lee.

[Koi]

Sick cover art. :iria

I dunno if I buy that spoiler just yet, though.. especially since, like.. Azula failed in killing Aang and all..

[Jove]

Sick cover art. :iria


As usual; I am seriously pumped to see the Book 3 box set cover art now. You know they're going to outdo themselves.

Here's the book 3, vol. 4, in case anyone doesn't feel like going elsewhere to see it:

[Ciupy]

I have not seen a worse promotional and managerial case that Avatar..

Really..these guys are sitting on a proverbial gold mine..and they squander it away..

No ideea what the heck they are thinking..:oh

[Koi]

Is anyone else hoping for Ozai to fucking beg for mercy before an Avatar State'd Aang? :iria

God I want that so bad, I want to see Ozai grovel and beg for his life before the force that is the Avatar, because he's such a cowardly douche.



Also I saw this really, really bad made-for-TV Sci-Fi movie with Marc Hamill and I might just really want payback.

Also I saw this really, really bad made-for-TV Sci-Fi movie with Marc Hamill and I might just really want payback.

I wonder if the business in the spoiler info is because Ozai is that deferent to Aang's ability, and the power of the Avatar. Don't forget how overwhelmingly awesome Ozai is. Also...

making Azula the Fire Lord separates the two nicely, and sets things up perfectly for Zuko to come in and blast her off the throne... and fucking KILL HER. :noworry

[The Cheat]

I want an epic battle between ozai and aang, I want to see ozai make aang struggle.

[Koi]

I want them both to struggle. Ozai more, though-- he's literally had his throne handed to him. He's probably never left the inner part of the main island since he was crowned. It's not like he's been doing much but chillin out and looking at maps and shit. And he's a total dick who obviously doesn't love his kids or wife. I want Ozai to have the upper hand at first, and then for Aang to be like, 'O rly?' and go all Avatar and just bitch Ozai into submission/death. :hehee

[The Cheat]

My guess about ozai making himself phoenix lord is like him declaring himself ruler of the world

[Koi]

Like Zhao would have done.. :hehee

[Superstarseven]

Well actually according to an interview with the creators last year, Bryan Konietzko said:Ozai is not like some kind of palace dweller. We will say that. I'm not sure how much he's ventured out into the world, but he's not like the Earth King where he's isolated. The Fire Nation is a little more 'hands on'. It's not uncommon that you will have to fight or duel for political or military positions or purposes. There's a big difference. I think in the Fire Nation, unlike in Ba Sing Se, if there's a prince who's 30 years old, he's probably fought pretty intensely a few times. Had to prove his worth. Not unlike Japanese Samurai in their day. They had to make a name for themselves, they had to have some fame. Fire Nation, like a lot of other militaristic cultures throughout history, has warriors who have to prove themselves either through some battle, test of martial skill, or duel. Fire Nation's a little more aggressive like that. Ozai's not sitting around eating Bon Bon's in the palace, he's working out.

[Taurus Versant]

And that will make the final battle all the more awesome.

[Koi]

Hm. Touche, Superstarseven. :LOS

I still think Ozai's a pussy, though. SICK bender. But still a pussy.

where the heck have you been :huh that's been common knowledge since the early episodes of season one with plenty of references towards that in a number of episodes throughout the 3 seasons since.

Pretty cool that such an important website thinks about this stuff like we do. I haven't seen them do this for any other show. I love the first line; the fandom is starting to show it's muscle.

[Taurus Versant]

Nick has really gotta hurry up and pull their heads out of their asses, or the moment the DVD hits, the episodes will be internet watched and they'll lose more than half their Avatar viewers.

[Superstarseven]

Nick has really gotta hurry up and pull their heads out of their asses, or the moment the DVD hits, the episodes will be internet watched and they'll lose more than half their Avatar viewers.

Oh yeah, I predict that Avatarchapters will be having some serious traffic issues on May 7th.

[Taurus Versant]

Wonder how it will all turn out.

[Muk]

i'd read the book or the text adaptation if they don't start airing avatar soon

[Koi]

Well the Sozin's Comet book comes out like May 20, heh. You won't have to wait long.

[Hana]

They wouldn't have to worry about losing money from me since I'd be watching the dvds I bought on May 7th. :awesome

[The Cheat]

Guive me new avatar or give me death.

[Mider T]

Nick doesn't care about your death.

[Sylar]

They get your soul afterwards anyway.

[Mider T]

No, I believe you're referring to Fox.

[The Cheat]

The first avatar movie will be releashed on july 21, 2010 and will be called the last airbender, no avatar in the move name.

[Amuro-ro-ro]

Man this makes me emo. Especially cuz I got addicted to avatar by the internet and all of a sudden when you're on an avatar high you have no new episodes to watch and enjoy for months... :(

[Mider T]

2010? Are you fucking kidding me?

[The Cheat]

2010? Are you fucking kidding me?

I guess so it doesn't clash with the release of some other movie called avatar. Plus, good mskies take time to make.

[niyesuH]

did they air the latest episode?

[Dragonus Nesha]

did they air the latest episode?Yep. It wurs teh haxxorest.



























:notrust

[Kaenboshi]

Interestingly enough, I went to check Nick's site, and they have one air date for Friday at 8:30 which wasn't there a couple of days ago. http://www.nick.com/shows/tv-schedule.jhtml

However, I don't know whether so this will turn out to be true or not (and I'm sure most people here will have some skepticism).

Had a small typo there.

[Snow]

Friday?! :wtf

Holy shit this is a day of good news.

It has no episode synopsis, dammit. :sag

[Koi]

Beware, though-- In the US, it'll probably be either the Western Air Temple, or the Firebending Masters, whichever one they haven't shown yet. :\

[Kaenboshi]

^ Western Air Temple it is, then. Hey, at least it's (looking like) starting up again.Friday?! :wtf

Holy shit this is a day of good news.

It has no episode synopsis, dammit. :sag Provided the schedule doesn't do a last minute shift, then yes, it is good news.

[kakoishii]

In all honesty, who cares, an episode is an episode is an episode. Mind you this doesn't save nick from the biggest asses award, however if this is true then it seems as though they'll get to the boiling rock episodes before the dvd releases.

[Jove]

Beware, though-- In the US, it'll probably be either the Western Air Temple, or the Firebending Masters, whichever one they haven't shown yet. :\

Hahaha, like an episode of Avatar will even air...

[kakoishii]

^ you know the "undefined" listed for the episode has me now extremely doubtful. I'm sure it's just sitting in that spot as a place holder for another half hour slot for sponge bob, you know to add on to ten hours they already have slotted for that show.

[Hana]

^ you know the "undefined" listed for the episode has me now extremely doubtful. I'm sure it's just sitting in that spot as a place holder for another half hour slot for sponge bob, you know to add on to ten hours they already have slotted for that show.

I agree wholeheartedly! This has happened before, about two weeks ago, that Nick had Avatar listed on a Friday night 8:30 pm slot. They kept it up there until that Friday and then replaced it with another shitty episode of Zoey 101 I think. I'm not holding out for that Nick schedule. :notrust

[Kage]

so...no new avatar episode? :cry (be it rerun or not)

[Jove]

^ you know the "undefined" listed for the episode has me now extremely doubtful. I'm sure it's just sitting in that spot as a place holder for another half hour slot for sponge bob, you know to add on to ten hours they already have slotted for that show.

That's what I'm thinking; they;re going to pull another 11th-hour switch on us. Avatar has been booked in that 8:30 Friday slot just about every week since January, and they've always changed it.

I wouldn't love to see 312 officially air, because I want episodes, but I also would hate to see the final run of the series begin with no promotion. Book 3 has been given as close to zero promotion as you could get, but this would literally be NO promotion.

And the DVD is really confusing things. According to the schedule as it is now, there's one episode scheduled for this Friday and next Friday. If those are 312 and 313, that would leave 314-315 for May 2, to make the May 6th release date. But May 2 is going to be a Zoey 101 special.:twitch

Ah well... we'll finally know what the hell is going on in two days.

[Superstarseven]

YTV does have The Painted Lady scheduled for Tomorrow.
By the way YTV's Friday schedule absolutely destroys Nick's.
Naruto at 8, Avatar at 8:30, Futurama at 9 and Bleach at 9:30.

so has nick finished destroying Avatar yet? or do they plan to let it come up for air?


is there even a reason for them not to let it air? the fucking episodes are already done!

So Nick fails again with not scheduling Avatar on Friday, alright nothing new there. We lose and the huge Back At The Barnyard fandom wins, let's face it now BATB is a big cult hit. The tons of fanart, fanfiction and activity at their message boards can attest to that.
I guess we have to accept that escapades of a Male Cow voiced by Chris Hardwick and his various farm animal cohorts are more important to Nickelodeon right now.

Dunno. It didn't actually air tonight anyway.

It does have pretty good ratings, not the best, but they have been good. Especially considering its lack of promotion. It has a stronger viewership among 11-14 or older though. It did when Best Animated Series award on Nick recently, that says something at least.

I know...only a shell of the Nick I grew up with.

As for the ratings, the ratings have been down compared to the second half of Book Two, when it was consistently in the Cable Top 20. Only Day of Black Sun got a solid rating, when Nick gave it modest promotion.

Well as of right now there is a stream scheduled for the 3pm Avatar panel today.
No problems have come up as of yet.
Worst case scenario...there'll be tons of video and pictures hitting the net 15 minutes after it ends.


Oh just so you know I think the Zutara podcast is ridiculous, I hope my sarcasm was obvious enough when I linked it.

[niyesuH]

as hypocritical as this may sound, I refuse to watch avatar subtitled. The original voice cast brings a certain charm to the series that would be completely lost if I'm forced to watch it with weird Brazillian voices I most likely won't like while reading text across the screen. Seriously guys, can anyone really beat Jack DeSena's Sokka?

i agree.. i love the voicing.. unlike Naruto dubs this ones are good.. but we are being forced into watching with subs:mad

The Naruto dub had some some god actors, like steven blum played zabuza and he's an awesome, he plays a kick-ass wolverine in the x-men games and was spike on cowboy bebop. Crispin played itachi and he's one of the most respected VAs in america, played an awesome alucard, and has a major in acting.Plus the guy plays sasuke plays teenage ben in the new ben 10 series.

Anyway, I agree, no-one can replace the kick-ass cast of avatar, avatar is the best acted show on nick.

[Sylar]

Unfortunately whoever voices Naruto in the dub made my ears bleed....

[Seto Kaiba]

I speak portuguese :hehee


Sucks to be the rest of you

Rubbing salt in wounds...cruel. I admire that.

lol no live feed.

Avatar Finale airs in July 2008

At the Avatar panel at the New York Comic Con, the trailer for the conclusion to book 3 revealed that the finale will air in July 2008. A full report on the panel is forthcoming.

About time we got a airdate.

[Mr. Obvious]

JULY!?!?!?? ugh whatever its better than nothing i suppose just hope it get leaked or soemthing though....

[The Cheat]

At least we have something to watch in july.

[Nexas]

So I'm guessing the DVDs have been delayed. I don't think I've ever seen a tv series that has shown so much disregard for their fanbase as Avatar. Seriously the episodes have been done for what, two or three months? But the Avatar fandom is like an abused spouse: no matter how times they push us down the stairs we keep crawling back.

At the Avatar panel at the New York Comic Con, the trailer for the conclusion to book 3 revealed that all new episodes will return to the air in July 2008, including the four-part series finale. The next DVD will still be released on May 6, 2008, and will include episodes that have not aired in the United States yet. A full report on the panel is forthcoming.

So uhh yeah. Releasing episodes on DVD before they air. That's a smart move right? Well at least we won't see this exploited by people making them available on the Internet.

[Nexas]

^I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. I really don't like buying individual DVDs when I know a the box set will come out later. I'm sure someone will rip then online though so its not too big a deal I guess.

[Omolara]

July??? For Serious? I really don't feel like I should have to buy the dvds in order to watch it, especially when all of them combined cost more than a boxed set. Plus, what the hell?!
Somebody's gonna rip them for sure, so now I wonder what the point in all of this is anyway?

[Nizuma Eiji]

Hellz YEA!!!!!!!
So we could expect new avatar episodes in the next 3 weeks.
Whoever's the 1st to rip the DVDs & upload them to the net
will reach GOD like status amongst the Avatar community.

/hopes for BanishedPrince to pull a DOBS.

[kakoishii]

JULY! ARGH! I should be happy that it's getting aired at all but come on now. The series takes a break that's over 6 months long and then crams all the episodes it has left into one month. Yea, thanks for showing any kind of respect to the fans nick! People always like to pull out bullshit comments like, "oh, avatar might be great but it's just not hitting nick's demographic." The show just won best animated show on the NICK choice awards recently! And it was against nick's pride and joy, spongebob, that to me says something. Avatar may be hitting an older demographic, but tell me as old as we all are when was the last time any of you voted for the nick choice awards? I was like 10 when I even last gave a flying fuck about that network, so obviously the only way avatar could have won is if actual kids actually voted. Gosh, as much as we all like to give kids zero credit, I think we should start to realize a good number of them would actually like to watch actual story rather than mindless drivel, but not nick sees finally having a quality television program on their network as a huge mistake. How dare they not show crap until the end of time [/sarcasm].

JUN? I AM EXCITED FOR JUN. JUN PLZ K?

[Nexas]

JUN? I AM EXCITED FOR JUN. JUN PLZ K?

/agree Jun was awesome. Still I think it would have made more sense for her to reappear in Book 2. It would have been awesome if she had been going after the bounties on Zuko and Iroh back then. Irony FTW.


Also NINJAS!?! HELL YEAH :gar

Who's Jun and who's Koh? :sag

Do we get moar Hawky? :wtf

[Nexas]

Jun was the bounty hunter with giant ant-eater mount (can't remember wtf it was called), and Koh was the face stealing spirit that Aang met back at the end of book 1.

[Nexas]

Sorry for double post but I think this is warranted.

xoAaw2MMxKk

Edit:Well that didn't last long

[Taurus Versant]

We're sorry, this video is no longer available.

[Stallyns808]

Ooh, and ninjas! Does this mean Zuko's return as The Blue Spirit?

[Mat®icha]
