*shrug*

it's a fine show but it doesn't really live up to the hype to me. I think the biggest thing for me with a show is how much I love its characters and I don't really feel that strongly about them here. Overall thoughts without spoilers...

Aang starts off as a pretty fun kid surviving with a great burden on his shoulders. He's pretty fun and decently competent for his point in the story... but as the show goes on I think he just stagnates. He never really does live up to his title I don't think, which is why I'm finally glad to see that realized in Korra ep1.

Katara was my fav for a while but like, I don't really have much to say. Or a lot of what I have to say would be getting into the plot of the show. By the end though she dropped a bit for me, I don't think season 3 Katara is very consistent and she doesn't have a compelling end-point. For most the show she's a bit of a cliche'd "mom of the group" which the show specifically comments on but for the first season being the only other bender cementers her as the #2 fighter, while still learning along-side Aang.

Her brother Sokka, not being a bender, for a long time he doesn't really feel like he has a point. He's a goofball, he's irrelevant as a fighter, he's kinda just there because he's Katara's brother. Over time though I mean he is a more consistent and reasonably likeable character, and he does progress as a legitimate tactician which finally gives him a reason for being.

Zuko... is very complicated. I can see why people would like him, but at the same time it feels dragged out to me, to the point he feels one-note in the short-run. Like if you zoom into a graph you can make a curved function look straight. Big picture he's pretty interesting, and in a way the length it takes his journey does make it compelling... but then during the journey itself can be tiring. Like you're shouting move on already! Helps though that he's got Iroh with him who's a really good mentor character.

Toph is a funny, likeable brash girl but uh not the most dynamic or involved.

Fire Nation is pretty generic evil bad guys but the troupe of baddies introduced s2 are a great trio of girls full of personality.

Interested in Korra tho!
