Avatar The Last Airbender premiered on this day 12 years ago.

>>90113836
I thought it was gonna get canned by the first half of the first book.
Gotta admit it was pretty slow.

It is still arguably the greatest western children's animated show ever.

I still fap to the girls

>>90113836
It's a new meme on tumblr to call it racist.

>>90114085
Wait, what? Since when?

I mean I'm not surprised, but I hadn't heard about that.

>>90113836
Fuck off Bryan your show had 1 run then you ruined it with your girl power sjw faggotry. No one cares about your shitty anime ripoff.

She's hot, but that's all she has going for her.

>>90113836
It was pretty great. Fuck Korra though.

>>90114518
Her voice is actually really nice tough, probably the smoothest voice in Avatar.

>>90114518
Jin is a literal prostitute and manages to find a good position.

>>90114110
Since pretty recently. It's sprung up in the "su critical" circles as of late.

ATLA was boring and overrated. It got people overhyped for Korra

>>90114469
What character arc? Be the villain of the season with ridiculous plot armor, get forgotten for most of Book 3, get ditched by friends then go cuckoo for cocoa puffs?

You were a great franchise that ended too soon because you were George Lucased by Bryke and your coffin was buried by M. Night Shyamalan. A walking disaster headed towards an early grave. And all we did was just watched.

>>90113836
I remember when I first came to /co/ the only threads were Avatar threads. There were no generals where all people wanting to talk about it posted. They just started a thread with a question or singular topic related to the show and discussed it with people. Good times.

I still have yet to see a single episode of this show and I own the whole series, someone just randomly gifted it to me a few years ago.

>>90115207
Watch it instantly.

>>90115207
Watch that shit now

>>90114085
Honestly, I found it strange that it took Tumblr this long to realize that the Avatar World only has Asian and Native (who are genetically related to Asians) people in it. If a franchise only had a universe full of White people, they would be all over it.

>>90115278
>>90115288
Nah.

>>90115316
Why not?

>>90115308
What's racist about it? The fact that nearly everyone is voiced by whites?

>>90113836
12 years? Damn. I remember watching the premiere in 5th grade.

What went right with ATLA?

What went wrong with Korra?

It could speak to the strength of "Tales of Ba Sing Se", the fact she was in only one episode so we never saw negative traits like with Katara, Mai, or others. Or like Korra the porn/boobs. Probably the porn/boobs.

>>90113836

Holy crap, this has been around for half my lifetime.

>>90113836
I marathoned it the other day. It was great.

>>90113836
I remember thinking it was a Nippon movie Nick was airing.

Book 2 best book, book 1 worst one. Comic was a mistake and so was Korra

>>90114565
Was Jin a prostitute? I don't remember jack shit of the show.

>>90115593
>implying Korra didn't have cool fights, animation, and great music
The writing was shit, but at least give some credit where credit's due.

>>90117862
Jin being a prostitute is a meme. There's one autist who takes it literally because he can't rationalize that attractiveness isn't logical and consistent.

>>90116626
Her boobs weren't really consistent size wise. They're huge in some frames and pretty average in others.

>>90114085
If anything, I could understand pegging the movie as racist...

The Fire Nation was inspired heavily by Japan, so both are isolated pale imperialists that use technology/industry to subjugate the lands they conquer. Making them all Indian brown doesn't make much sense when they're an analog Japan.

Hell, Tumblr should love Avatar because two of the three main characters are brown, AND they're not paired off together just because they're brown. (Real reason is 'cause they're siblings, but don't deny there's a tendency to pair people of the same race together in media).

>>90119171
>those toes

>>90119439
I can't blame em, they were never meant to be seen in any kind of HD.

>>90119432
>Making them all Indian brown doesn't make much sense when they're an analog Japan.
They fucked up, they casted Patel since he was coming off the very popular Slumdog Millionaire movie so his whole family had to be around the same skin tone.

Though I don't understand why the fuck didn't they just cast Jason Isaacs as Zhao instead of a Daily Show comedian.

Still in my top 5 favorite cartoons.

>>90114085
Is it? I just saw one person complaining about the way that Tibetan monks were portrayed.

Fuck man, even if Avatar wasn't perfect it fucking TRIED, not a white person in the show, when it comes to representation it was above and beyond the call of duty even if they were a bunch of magical kung-fu Asians. People should keep that in perspective.

>>90117862
cute girl with huge tits wants the dick of the deformed guy, while his uncle is extremely pushy.. what do you think?

>b-but Zuko even had a girlfriend..
Mai knew him since he was little, Jin didn't know shit about him and made the first move, most likely because his uncle paid her.

>>90120758
>deformed guy

I would think having a scar like that while not being from the Fire Nation would make you cooler.

Shows that you fought a Firebender and won.

>>90120917
Or at least lived to tell the tale.

>>90120758

Scar fetish.

>>90113836
Made me like feet.

>>90120943
We were always with you, you just didn't know it. And we'll always be there.

>>90120982
>>90120917
Yeah, I've always figured Firebending scars would get the chicks, Jin was a refugee in the canon I think...so she'd easily know about the war. Also the fact that Zuko is hot despite the scar.

>>90121151

Absolutely. I always assumed it was Zuko being attractive and the scar adding to it because to an Earth Kingdom person that meant he got blasted in the face by a Fire Nation soldier and lived/possibly killed the soldier. Would be impressive to a lot of people.

>>90120917
>>90121151
third degree burns aren't cool, and it only shows that you got burned, not that you fought. For all she knows his village was raped when the FN hit the place and he was running for his life.

>>90120982
reminder that the beach episode is not canon.

>>90121810
>reminder that the beach episode is not canon.
I wish it wasn't, I hate how much wasted potential it was.

I can't believe that the only Zuko and Azula focused episode of the series involves mostly Azula spilling spaghetti around a Chad and Mai and Ty Lee whining about their rich girl problems.

>>90121810
>>90120758
Oh look, this autist again. Shouldn't you be telling people to google third degree burns?

I didn't like this show.

>>90121810
>reminder that the beach episode is not canon
fucking what? Where's your evidence

>>90122294
see >>90118098

>>90122353
That's talking about Jin. Has nothing to do with the beach episode

>>90122377
His autism extends to the beach episode since it goes against his headcanon that Zuko is hideous and there's no way a cute girl like Jin would be into him without being a prostitute.

>>90122405
I still don't see how that makes the beach episode non-canon. I don't really care whether Jin is a prostitute or not. Even if she was, how does that affect later episodes

>>90113836
It's probably the best cartoon i've ever watched. I can't even remember a movie or anime i liked better than this.

>>90122450
He's saying they're alike because someone is just saying they're "not canon"/"a prostitute". No proof in show or canon.

Anyway, who would win in an Avatar throw down?
Aang, Korra, or Wan?
I'd root for Wan but probably lean towards Aang winning, especially adult Aang.

>>90122558
That makes fucking no sense.

>>90121810
Then he'd just get bonus points for being a hot guy with a tragic backstory. That's Appealing to Girls 101.

>>90122558
>Anyway, who would win in an Avatar throw down?
Korra is out of the running because she has the worst case of reverse plot armor in action cartoon history.

I guess that Aang wins because he has thousands of years of new bending techniques to work on while Wan only knew the most primitive versions.

>>90122294
It's less 'not canon' and more 'made by a woman that only worked on that episode, without the other writers'

>>90122589
>hot guy
deformed

>tragic backstory
pity fuck is not real.

>>90122678
You do realize that the woman who made The Beach also wrote Zuko's part in Tales of Ba Sing Se, therefore making Jin herself non-canon going by your logic.

>>90113836
I enjoyed it back then and I enjoy it today.

>>90122678
>>90122765
Seems like bullshit to me. Reading too far into things. Personally The Beach is one of my favorite episodes, but I'm biased since I really like Azula.

Everything in the show is canon, who cares if Jin is a prostitute or not Jinfags might care but that's it

>>90122678
Dude... you're being even more of an autist than most of /co/.

Zuko is hot with or without the scar. This is canon.

There are no episodes of Avatar or Korra that are non-canon. Even The Divide.

Jin could have been a lady of the night, given her poor refugee status, her sudden interest in Zuko, and Iroh's insistence that they go on a date. However, nothing confirms that this isn't just a case of a crush on her end and a 'commoner' experience on his end. Personally, I think that her being a normal girl is better for Zuko's character development than having her be a prostitute.

>>90122815
>>90122914
I like the Jin prostitute thing because a young slut popping a prince's cherry is good stuff for fapping.

I almost cried when watching the first episode, so much nostalgia

>>90122958
>I like the Jin prostitute thing
It really got out of hand, I shouldn't have started it

>>90123000
How is it out of hand? Her fanart and popularity wouldn't be so high if this fan theory didn't exist.

>>90122958
Hey man, if Jin as a prostitute works for you, cool. I liked Jin so it's a shame she was only in one episodes. More would have been nice

>>90123016
She always had a lot of fanart, she was a female that openly wanted to fuck (and even got to kiss) the most popular character of the series. And she had the big tits going on for her.

>>90123016
The fan art has been around a while, well before the prostitute meme.

>>90113836
The firelord did nothing wrong

>>90123129
Wrong, he lost.

>>90123129
He forced Aang to win with a bullshit deux ex machina and forever mar the series finale. He was the true winner.

But then Korra came along and shit on the series legacy WAY harder than anything so it didn't really matter.

y'all keep on hating on Korra yet you never really give any accurate negatives that the original didn't also suffer from.

Also fuck off, "romance" and "episodic seasons" is not a downside.

>>90120708
Nothing wrong with a show about Asian characters having Asian people in it, but saying that there aren't white people in it probably shouldn't come off sounding like a badge of honor.

>wanted to watch one funny scene yesterday (Hello, Zuko here!)
>ended up watching the episode
>ended up watching 9 more episodes
>now want to watch the entire thing from the beginning

This show is too damn good. It's a shame there was never a sequel.

>>90114264
you're a fucking idiot.

>>90123636
Shitty unlikable characters and all around bad writing with no cohesive vision.

>>90123788
>Shitty unlikable characters
Korra (after you've watched the entire series), Asami, Jinora, Tenzin, Zaheer, the entirety of the Red Lotus, Bolin, Lin, Varrick, Wan, Kya, and Bumi would beg to differ.

>>90123951
Varrick and the Zaheer were the only good characters you listed.

All the main characters of LOK were offensively terrible and all the other supporting cast were mediocre at best.

I just rewatched ATLA for the first time in 6 years and it has stood the test of time. Even the first season, which I used to hate, seems charming now.

I went straight into Korra thinking maybe the same thing would happen. But team avatar hates itself and it's a huge drag that the main 4 are the least fun characters in the cast. It takes Korra herself 3 seasons to even approach being likeable.

At least the animation is as amazing as ever.

>>90118043

the animation was consistently good but most of the fights had fucking booooooring choreography where everyone just throws various kinds of elemental blasts at eachother. Compare any fight in korra to this and the fact that korra ditched their martial arts guys becomes very clear

>>90114811

Are you kidding me? Azula is complex to the point where we don't know who she truly is because all those years of conditioning only taught her to be a weapon. We only get glimpses of her true character because she is so good at hiding her feelings. Now that she is free I expect her to show the true person she was all along. Also she wasn't a villain or crazy you tremendous faggot.

>>90124155
Fuck off, Scrapper.

Something nice about it.

>>90123740
Anon are you pretending Legend of Korra doesn't exist

>>90124242

>>90113836
I remember watching it. I was visiting friends in New Mexico.

>>90124101
>where everyone just throws various kinds of elemental blasts at eachother
The same shit can apply to ATLA.

Everyone likes to say Korra was just element punching, but re-watch some of those ATLA scenes and you'll see them slowly chucking element balls at each other too.

>>90115316

Azula was a cunt who deserved to die.

>>90124828
>22:49
>Part 1 of 4
>That voice

Noooooope. Not sitting through more than an hour and a half of that shit.

>>90124902
The fact that there's over an hour and a half of stuff to criticize of the first season alone should be an indication of how bad korra was.

But hey since when do fanboys care. Just continue obsessing over your ships and ignore every other aspect of the show. That'll show everyone.

I meditate because of this show introducing me to the concept.
Ive watched it fully two times.

>>90124828
>>90124902
I'm guessing the guy who made the video is the one who's posted that, because I've seen that same youtube link posted in dozens of threads with the same comment.

It's probably the guy who used to post the LoK-fails.jpg in every thread.

>>90124942
I suppose I can't deny if any other instances of it being posted were him, though I highly doubt it and can assure I am not him.

But guess what fag, when something gets repeated a lot it's usually because it's a good point.

Do you also claim anyone who says 2+2=4 must be one guy saying it over and over again? Because in your head it's just impossible for more than one person to have the same opinion about something you don't like? Is that how you get through life?

>>90124931
Wait, so you added something to your life that you do regularly, but you've only watched through it twice?

Man, I must have watched through it at least a 30 times.

He drops the weird voice after he finishes the intro parody. I mean if you're trying to avoid so much as exposing yourself to any kind of criticism of the show on the basis of "wahhh too long annoying voice" before even hearing any points you'd probably never acknowledge the flaws even if you did hear them.

Or you're exactly the kind of stupid low-bar viewer they made LOK for and just don't care because you like those flaws.

I guess Jin is a prostitute and Azula really is a good girl who dindu nuffin.

>>90125172
Toph became too much of a meme character for them to allow her to develop.

>>90125172
I like to think that she was a bitch as a teenager and then mellowed out as an adult before swinging back around to being a bitch in her old age.

I can't. Sorry

>>90125243
I wish we could have comfy ALTA threads without Korra ever being mentioned a single time. ALTA is fun to talk about and Korra is just arguing about something I don't care about.

Completely different shows but I'd still give it to ATLA personally.

It was a fun show and I can't wait to show it to my kids when I have them.

>>90125273
Yeah 7 years ago that wouldve been possible. Im sure threads like that happened.
At the end of the day it doesnt really matter if korra was good or not. What really matters is that we all love avatar for what it did. Sure it has flaws. Nothings perfect but some of my favorite things that came out of avatar was its philosophical nature and dramatic tension.
Lets talk about things we liked about avatar.

>>90125273
There was one like a week ago on /tv/ of all fucking places that went 1-200 posts without mention of Korra.
It was fantastic.

Although, I think you can guess how it turned out.

I can't help but think Kylo Ren will have a similar arc, just because he shares some superficial traits with Zuko (tale pale long haired meanieface), and Zuko's arc was so memorable.

>Nah. I bet you like One Piece, too.
I don't watch One Piece. Doesn't seem like my cup of tea.
>Nothing says quality like rushing out episodes for some sweet cash.
I'm assuming you didn't watch it live (if at all), there was a considerable wait for book 3 and the final episodes. Also, it's a 61 episode show, they're hardly milking it.

> Coherency? Fuck off. We're making money here (that Korra spin-off exists so don't bullshit yourself into thinking otherwise).
I agree Korra was garbage, but I fail to see how that pertains to the quality of the original. Your coherency comment doesn't make sense either. To be honest, it feels like you're making a blanket criticism just to hate on it, and it comes across as purposefully contrarian.

It took something as shitty as Korra to kill it.

>>90125147
Did you expect her to remember their faces or something?

>>90113836
It was okay.

It had great artstyle and a world i wanted to see more of. ATLA was more of the medieval type show while LoK settled for a industrial revolution age
Maybe they'll do ancient or a futurstic setting next.

There is never going to be another Avatar animated series.

Thank God. I don't want the franchise to be raped any more than it already has.

>>90126692
It should never have been a franchise. Just leave us with the original show and it would all be good.

How can you like this garbage? It's such wasted potential. The characters were all terrible except Iroh. The fights were stupid and the power levels didn't make any sense. Basically everyone had to be retarded for the plot to work.

Explain.

It was a million times better than korra

The comic books are shit. People say LoK ruined ATLA, but if anything, the ATLA comics are what ruined the original characters because the comics are actually about them. Gene Yang is an idiot who writes cringeworthy dialog and storylines that don't make sense.

Don't start. We don't need another comfy Avatar thread turned into another Korra hate circlejerk.
