Because I must spread my obsession to a new forum. ^_^
It may be a Nickelodeon show, but it's definitely not your normal Nickelodeon stuff. A hundred year war in which the main character loses his whole race to a genocide, 'villains' who wouldn't be villains if only they were on the right side, 'magic kung fu' that's actually based on real martial arts, what's not to love?
And besides, it has Prince Zuko. And he's probably my favorite character from anything because he's just so messed up but he's changing for the better (and awesome because of it).

Heh, my sister got me hooked on this show. It's almost too cool for Nickelodeon. I wish they had gone with the traditional Chinese elements and used steel and wood though. That could have been interesting.

That could have been interesting. Metal and Wood would be interesting. I suppose there is the problem of availability for those two, though. Earth and Air are nearly everywhere, Fire can be logically created since it's not physical, and water can be carried in reasonable quantities. Plus, metalbending would put the Fire Nation at a major disadvantage. >.> (Metal is an aspect of earth, and wood is probably an aspect of water [considering the fact that vinebending is part of waterbending], anyway) You're right about it being almost too cool for Nick, though.

I'm probably just saying that because one of my characters is a ferropath (can control metal) and one of my favorite video game characters of all time (Tytree Crowe, from Tales of Rebirth) could control plant matter. Personal bias, you see.

A friend showed me a few episodes once. I thought it was cool, even though I could predict the major plot developments of every episode. Zuko is, indeed, cool. The animals are adorable.

Go all the benders! (That sounded wrong... >>)
I really enjoy watching it... though I can never remember their names off by heart... but I can hear their voices in my head.. >>

Ikkiiin! ^^ another person I know!
I love Avatar. I rather dislike most of the shows Nickelodeon has got right now, even though I liked the ones they used to have (like the Wild Thornberries. I loved that show. Even if 'talking to animals' wasn't the most original crayon in the box... what am I saying? o_0 crayon?)
Yyyeah. Anyway, Jet is just sleeping. SLEEPING! *shakes fist at non-believers*

even though he harnesses the power of 4 elements and is a master of all, the phrase "oo shiny bald boy" and "pool ball!" spring into my head when i see aang

SLEEPING! *shakes fist at non-believers* Hey, Ebil! ^_^ I have to agree about Nick shows, though. Most of them do nothing for me, and Avatar's the only one that I would set time aside for. (Shouldn't that be 'brightest crayon?' XD) Oh noes, Ebil is shaking her fist at me! *hides* Yeah, I think Jet's dead. Mainly because they censored him actually getting hit. (Though, I have to admit, part of me doesn't want him to come back because then my mom would say it was like a soap opera...) EDIT: I now have a second reason to think he's dead. o_0

...okay, fine, actually I think that too >.> I'm just slightly in denial. *reads thread* ...is it a bad thing that that's what I thought when I saw Longshot notch his arrow? I later convinced myself, though, that it was some sort of tribute-ish type thing, like firing a gun salute thingummy at a funeral...but, er, why would he DO that? o.0 what it said on that thread, I mean.

(Just like I thought Zuko was going to commit seppuku for a moment when he took out the knife to cut his hair in the S2 premiere) From what the thread suggests, it seems like the scene was supposed to go down quite differently. Jet wouldn't have recovered his senses from the brainwashing (I suppose the suggestion would be that it was impossible to break once the trigger phrase had been used), and he would have kept attacking until Longshot finally decided he could never break free and shot him. Not that he would have killed Jet after what Long Feng did.
