OH GODS WHY!?

EPIC FAILURE BRYKE, EPIC FAILURE!!!!

Because when we really get down it, the entire show hinged on whom the characters would hook up with.
Concerning the sountrack to the finale, The Track Team were given an orchestra to work with which is why it sounded so damn great.
By the way I wanna take the time to chastise the fandom who read the novelization and were spreading negative vibes about it all over the 'net.
You trusted a 62 page summary meant for little kids over a 2 hour event.
How shameful.
I don't mind that you reviewed the book as harshly as you did...c'mon now it sucked.
But the idea that a lot of you wrote that "Mike and Bryan don't know what they're doing" or "If the show follows this storyline it won't be worth watching". I hope all of you following that same mindset ate the biggest piece of Crow tonight.

judging from what I've a read of kishimoto lately we'll be lucky if we get a "meh" ending from that series. It'll most like be something like "wtf?" or "really? that's it?!" in the end though. Kishimoto could only dream of achieving as epic an ending as avatar has had, mostly because I think he's more concerned at seeing his chapter count grow than the actual story .

You have a point. Kishimoto isn't really thinking ahead onto how the story is going to end, he just wants to make the chapters grow.

I have a feeling I'll be like "Wait...That's it?" at the end of the series.

Yep. The Avatar pwned. Nuff said. It beat Naruto in my book with that finale episode. I like how it ended, sad endings depress me...:(

this is true what made toonami badass was it dared to be adult which equals bad ass. Avatar dared to be adult too and now it will live forever in history as one of the most epic american animated series. Where CN fails is it stopped daring to be adult and now caters to kiddy fare. It's lost it's edge and now it's just about as dead to me as nick without avatar.

her bad assery reached such epic proportions that they had to purposely tone down her involvement in the finale to cover up for the fact that Aang could never live up to such bad assery without going into the avatar state. Admit it, the Ozai vs. Aang fight was laughably one sided and unimpressive until he went avatar state on his ass, I guess you could say it was a plot device used to cover up the fact the only element Aang had full mastery of was air.

Wow! Azula is such a bitch!
My mom says that was based off of many crazy princesses in the past, and many wuxia dramas

Is that another voice actor (a third one) doing Iroh?
Azula is the worst leader ever.

omg Azula is so hot right now... literally, she's breathing fire. Called it :sag Cracking up like Light

lol, I'm getting a rule 34 vibe from that last statement
Wasn't Aang's on the back?

They're scar brothers now.
Just like Squall and Seifer :sag
Holy fuck lol. That is epic he could do that. Ultimate fire bending supression.
That scene disturbed me, plus, we have an uber surround sound system.
Mom said Aang turned his bones into jelly XD
lol Tylee.

Hooray Zuko the fire lord That part hit me so hard, it was obvious that the Firenation was Communist China, and the Airbenders were Tibetians, and the other nations were being wiped out like in the Cultural "Revolution" of Communist China, especially the Earth Kingdom. I think there was some kind of stealth lesson there.... You think they timed it so it'll air during the Olympics hype?

'American anime' is a stupid concept. Also, its mostly Asian countries like Korea that are doing the final animations. Keep that in mind. True. I think people just to place Avatar in the category of win, and leave it at that.

Wow that was epic. Was it me or did Aang and Oozais fight remind you of Goku Vs Vegeta? There was some DBZ inspiration in that fight.

I was disappointed in a few things though.

What happened to Azula, did she go to Jail? Cry herself to death?

Iroh could of been more badass

Wtf happened with Zuko's mom. Theres was almost no point in asking what happened

Other than those things this was great Finale, kind of sad it ended but happy it ended well.

I do miss space sword and boomerang. I mean boomering totally destroyed combustion man. And space sword was a sword from space!! I wonder if the two characters got along very well. I could imagine boomerang becoming upset for not being used as much after space sword stole his lighting. He probably threatened to leave until he got to shine when destroying Combustion Man, and then of course the two worked together in the end to save Sokka's life giving the ultimate sacrifice.:cry Long live Space Sword and Boomerang!! :cryWhere have you been? Don't you know Boomerang and Space Jian are the one true pairing of Avatar?

with the finale alone it did it easily. Too many Japanese anime drop the ball with the last episode with at least with me tarnishes my feelings about the series overall. Avatar's finale had the opposite effect. With such an epic ending, I am able to forgive and forget all the misgivings the series had no matter how big or small because it was worth it in the end.

btw I think I've used the word epic about 100 times tonight isn't that just so EPIC :heheeAnime studios in general tend to mess up themselves, just look at the Naruto fillers, or DragonBallZ, a series that meant to end so much sooner.

Wow Nick fucking sucks more that a Vietnam prostitute in heat :pek They are not even reshowing the finale tomorrow all their fucking showing is I carly there is no emoticon on this forum that expresses my disgust.
I know, I hate this network decay (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetworkDecay) that Nick and CN have been suffering from....Dammit, I hope Avatar will start a fucking revolution

Anyways, is it just me, or is the Firenation an allegory to the oppressive regime of communist China?

and hopefully someone besides THQ will be the brains behind it, because lord knows they've just been bastardizing the avatar games for much too long.

The scene where Zuko and Aang standing together gave me a vibe that China and Tibet should make nice, and apologize to the world, and to apologize for wiping out their own culture in the Cultural Revolution.

I've noticed for quite a while that each of the 4 civilizations in Avatar are based off real Asian civilizations.

Fire Nation = Japan (1860's - 1945). A brutally imperialistic island nation that utilizes superior technology to essentially ethnically clense the other civilizations of the Asian world (from which Avatar is based off of). Moreover they literally try to wipe out the Earth Kingdom (China) in the end, very similar to Japans invasion of China in the 1930's.

Earth Kingdom = Imperial China (early 1900's). The worlds largest nation, Chinese sounding names, and an out-of-touch monarchy. Moreover how the Dai-Lee manipulated the Emperor really reminds me of the power struggles of Imperial China between the Emperor and Kuomintang during the early 20th century.

Air Nomads = Tibet. Just as the Air Nomads wiped out, the series makes a semi-hidden political statement warns that Tibet's spiritual culture is also facing extinction.

Water Tribe = Inuits. Really not much else to be said.

In other news, Nick is now hopelessly fucked. I didn't watch Nick for years before Avatar, and I shall probably never watch it again. According to my DVR's search function, its lineup tomorrow consists completely of iCarly and Jimmy Neutron/Spongebob rerunsx15,000

In other news, Nick is now hopelessly fucked. I didn't watch Nick for years before Avatar, and I shall probably never watch it again. According to my DVR's search function, its lineup tomorrow consists completely of iCarly and Jimmy Neutron/Spongebob rerunsx15,000

That being said, I fear that Nick will attempt to capitalize off Avatar's success by rushing a sequel series into production, with or without the original writers. No matter trash what may come from Nick in the future, know how epic the original series was.Yeah, I equated the Fire Nation to Japan a lot, I may be wrong, but wasn't Japan the first of the asian nations to jump into the Industrial Revolution? I think the tanks and airships were symbolic of that. Fire Nation could also symbolize Communist China, since Ozai's plan seems very similar to Mao Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966, a month ago. Basically, they wiped out each aspect of China's culture to unify under one belief system. The Earth Nation, imperial China,etc. The Air Nomad, like the Tibetians, were slaughtered much like the events in the Great Leap Forward. I think the Fire Nation works on various levels in terms of symbolism. I think there's also a strong impact with Zuko and Aang reconciling, which is basically a lesson that China should learn. Like Zuko represents a new regime of China, and the new regime should take responsibility for their actions, not only in Tibet, but for other abuses of human rights as well, such as the persecution of Falun Gong.

Though, FN could be compared to other times in China's history too.

There were unfortunately some people who couldn't put shipping aside and enjoy the finale.
One was even calling for a boycott because she found out that Zutara wasn't happening for sure.
Oh goodness.

In reference to an earlier post, it sure didn't hurt that CN has the right to air the 2 animated Hellboy while the sequel is in theaters and still fresh in people's minds. If that wasn't the case then the only thing that CN could have aired to counter the finale would be the first Naruto movie. It's the only show that's even comparable to Avatar on the network. Possibly Ben 10 also.

I think Ben10 is pretty good, doesn't butcher itself when trying to look like anime (coughTeenTitianscoughTransCOUGHCOUGHFORMERSCOUGHA NIMATED) though, what would be nice is if they bring Justice League back too.

Batman the Animated Series could stand to be on CN too like it used after Fox had it. That series showed how great animation is with good writing as well. Also, Japanese anime studios also helped out with Batman. Gargoyles too had character designers from famous anime studios.

Now, after seeing Avatar, my imagination fails me to think if in the future, Japanese studios collaborate with American studios as well, but more often. The Batman anime dvd coming out proves that collaboration is a wonderful thing.

I enjoyed the ending and fights, but I wanted to see what the results of Iroh's training was. He certainly became stronger, but without anyone of significance to fight, it's like it was all for naught.

One more thing: Zuko wasn't really needed, nor was a combination of Zuko and Katara needed for Azula. With Katara's blood bending, shouldn't she have been able to stop her without resorting to running away and winning due to location?

The character that wasn't needed was Katara. Zuko could have defeated Azula on his own, but then Azula brought Katara into the fight, and Zuko had to save her.

As far as Iroh... he was recapturing Ba Sing Se. That's more than adequate. And he blasted right through the wall.

I think Southern Raiders confused everyone, probably the unattentive blindness phenomena, many people missed the full moon in the Southern Raiders episode. Though, it seems they might have a plot hole if they had time to wait for the moon to be fullm, though, it could've easily been coincidently full.

I think it was actually quite properly used. Either from unblocking his chakra, or serving a big heap of "AANG! THIS IS WHAT'S IN YOU, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!" in pain form. Though, I don't think it's the rock actually, he would've gotten to Avatar state sooner or later, it just happens when Aang's teeth are down to the grind. Even if Avatar state is Deus Ex Machina, or the divinely powered Neigong, or whatever, the Deus Ex Machina is executed well, and doesn't detract from the victory. If anything, it's fair now, since Ozai was using Sozin as a super buff on top of his decades long experience in firebending, not to mention his ruthlessness.

Wow that was epic. Was it me or did Aang and Oozais fight remind you of Goku Vs Vegeta? There was some DBZ inspiration in that fight.

What happened to Azula, did she go to Jail? Cry herself to death?

Iroh could of been more badass

Wtf happened with Zuko's mom. Theres was almost no point in asking what happened

Other than those things this was great Finale, kind of sad it ended but happy it ended well.

Yeah what the fuck was that shit? The music started and I was thinking to myself that it was gonna end at a cliffhanger then it just goes to everyone together and happy, there was no point in asking about Zuku's mom after all that.
