A Finale Worth the Praise and a TV Movie idea August 28, 2008
Kyle Rosenkranz
I'd like to say that this series has been one of the pinnacle shows of the decade. Just when I thought The Clone Wars would be the only spectacular animated tv series, I was proven wrong as soon as I saw Avatar. Each season kept upping the ante not to mention the stakes and kept us holding our breath up to the series finale which was huge visually and an exemplary battle that blew Crossroads and Siege out of the water. My only criticism of season 3 is the lack of Iroh. It would have been great to see how he escaped or to have seen him present Zuko as the Fire Lord.
Many people have described that creating a prequel Book 4 would benefit the series and satisfy the fans including me. They could include the episodes of Aang's birth and revelation of his being the Avatar. How he met Appa and how he was trained by the monks and Gyatso.
For those who want a sequel to the show, here is a story to satisfy you: After five years Zuko has successfully brought the Fire Nation back to the way it was before his Great Grandfather's regime while Aang has helped him clear the world of any remnants of the Fire Nation Army and revive the tradition of the air nomads. Aang has great news, he and Katara are getting married. Zuko also has good news, he has news about his mother's location. Meanwhile Azula helps her father get out of prison and has discovered a way to get his bending back using a fragment of Sozin's Comet. They first rejoin the officers of the Fire Army and gather their forces to reclaim the fire nation. The attack affects th entire world once again as Sokka, Katara, Iroh, Zuko, Toph, Katara and Aang defend the four nations from the onslaught of the Grand Phoenix Army!
An epic ending to a great series August 22, 2008
E. Belfiore (Valley Stream, NY USA)
I don't want to spoil any of this honest to God amazing series, so I won't mention any particulars. The grand story of Avatar is nothing we havn't seen before; A hero thought lost for a century returns to find that the world has been unbalanced and an evil empire is on the brink of total world domination. He is not ready to restore the balance, however, for he is merely a young and inexperienced incarnation of this hero, The Avatar, that has been eternally standing watch over the world and should once again, if Aang can get it together. Although the story may sound familiar the execution is brilliant. The entire premise of different cultures being able to manipulate different elements is genius, and the blending of eastern martial arts is done beautifully as well as adding an an action packed flair to the series. The characters are also deep and well developed, and you really get to know them, even the ones that don't speak. I was truly heartbroken when this series ended, because it had given me many good years of entertainment. As far as american made animes go, this is probably one of if not the best, but it's also accessible to people of all types and ages. WATCH THIS SHOW!
This is what TV should be August 22, 2008
ZombieMan 5000 (Burnham, Maine United States)
The Avatar had a beginning, middle and a climatic end. Yes it only lasted for a three seasons but not one episode was filling. How many shows last for ten seasons and maintain a strong storyline? Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko did this right. They had a clear ending to the series before jumping in. So while Lost limps along losing momentum probably ending with a whimper the Avatar went out with a bang. Kudos to all involved in making this one of the best shows ever to grace my T.V.
For the uninitiated, definitely worth your time... August 19, 2008
D. Semo (Candor, NY USA)
After reading many of the other comments posted, it is hard to add much of value, but I love the show so much, I couldn't help myself. In our house, it was must see tv. If you are unfamiliar with the show, you would definitely be best served to watch the first two seasons in advance. This way you would benefit from the back story. The production values and character development are first rate. Great background music and dialogue as well. This season is like the previous two in that not every episode is perfect (or will appeal to everyone), but that said, a "weak" episode of Avatar is better than most shows on tv (This is similar to how people rate Miyazaki movies that aren't their faves.). I found this book of the series to be both wonderful and sad. I loved how they tied most of the loose ends up, but was sad to see the series end. Lastly, if you get/rent/view this book for the first time and like the characters, etc., you need to dedicate time to watch the last four episodes together. I guarantee that you won't be happy if you don't. Heck, you'll probably just blow off whatever it was you were planning on doing anyway to continue watching. It really is that captivating. I hope that Shama-lama-ding-dong can do this great series justice when he does the live action movie.
Another Avatar collection August 18, 2008
Douglas Brummett (Huntsville, AL USA)
This is another excellent installment in the Avatar series. Only complaint I have it that this is the last one. Very well done and no way I could have predicted how it would turn out.
