I have to admit, it was actually pretty good. I started watching the show with my nephew because there's only one TV here and I guess it belongs to him. But for a nicktoon aimed at 9-14 yr olds, it's got some depth. I really dig the whole eastern elemental martial artistry and the miyazaki anime style storytelling is so clean that even if there were no story it'd be at least fun to watch.
But there WAS actually an epic and engrossing story. The writing was good and the characters were enjoyable. You have to give the series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino credit. Who else would've imagined a group of kids with elemental powers setting out to save the world?
Hey wait a minute...
Buuuut then again...
I guess the moral here is:It doesn't matter who you are or what your talents may be, you can change the world...
...as long as you're some variation of asian. Preferably Chinese.

Don't forget the MMPR.
I'm honestly trying to forget the MMPR.
If you write any crits on movies
Sci-Fi or supernatural (not horror) for 2009 - let me know, you are funny and I had a good laugh reading some of your stuff. We don't laugh enough nowadays - even well placed sarcasm will work! I run a small group on www.mytalent.co.za and can use crits on the blog. I will of course - credit you for the crits. I am following you! my blog can only be followed via maiden surname Denyse Karpel Tanxs D' South Africa
