Avatar the last airbender is not a kids show. This show is timeless and completely relevant to anyone who watches it. It portrays hardships in ways that children can understand. It shows that you can do things even if you have a disability, it will not hold you back. You may be different but you can use those differences to your advantage. (toph, who is blind and Teo, who has a wheelchair). It shows that you can change and not be the same as your parents, You can be a better person and change what they did. ( zuko and toph) ATLA shows mental disabilities and how they affect Azula. How she tried so hard to live up to her fathers expectations, but fell short. It shows how she was treated by herself as she thinks about her mother and how much she wanted to be loved by her.



Deeper Than you Think

Avatar the Last Airbender is a show that will get your mind thinking about deeper things than everyday childrens shows. It discusses mourning, through Katara losing her mother, Aang losing all of the other Nomads, and even the stories of common people during the 100 year war. Avatar is about family and trusting each other. Finding out that family is more than just the people who are directly related to you. This show teaches forgiveness and love. Forgiveness for those that have hurt you, forgiveness and how to change from revenge to forgiveness. This is shown through Aang with the firelord and katara with the man who killed her mother.

This show has pretty complex themes and character relationships for a kids' show and shows us the consequences of warfare.” -Review on Rotten Tomatoes

Avatar the last airbender is not a kids show. This was shown on May 15 2020 when the original cartoon was released to Netflix. It quickly rose to the top of the charts. This was not due to it being a children's show. How do we know that? The fan base for Avatar the Last Airbender has grown exceptionally since it was released again. An entire new group of people were exposed to the wonder of the Avatar world. They learned life advice from Uncle Iroh, were taught compassion from Katara, change from Zuko, courage from Suki and Sokka, determination from Toph, and forgiveness from Aang.
