Avatar: The Last Airbender

[oslapedo]

I'm sure there's some Avatards lurking I love Avatar so much! I adore how it pleases me without condescending me, unlike many other present day cartoons would. It's witty, funny, even romantic in some parts, and all of this greatness is wrapped up within amazing animation.

But guess what fellow fans. The adventure is coming to an end. "New" episodes will begin playing on July 14, and the 19th will mark it's two hour season finale, ie, the end of Avatar.

I'm excited for this, and the fangirl in me is storing up many a squeal in anticipation, but I'm also a bit saddened. As cheesy as I'm being, the journey of Aang has been quite an epic one, and I know that the epic capacity will increase by over 9,000 during the finale.

So, if Avatar fans exist on this side of the interwebworld, flock! Come here, and let's all discuss a show that warmed many hearts, and touched many lives  Also, is anyone planning any "Avatar Finale" parties? I know I am 

[nikkiolie]

LOVE AVATAR! I can't wait for the new episodes. I need to keep an eye out for them .

[oslapedo]

I knew I couldn't be the only avatard here

Remember those ooey gooey dough-cookie-things from "Avatar Day" way back in season 1? I'm going to replicate those for consumption during for the finale I also want to make some variation of cactus juice.

Watching the series finale trailer from NYCC pumps me up so much! I'm especially curious to see how the "Smexy Sokka" clip at the end will be included into an actual episode 

Linkage: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pmRY2s25PvQ

(^ The "Smexy Sokka" clip starts at 2:00. How manly is Sokka that he set up his tent with a sword?  )

[LtCommanderRichie]

Someday I'm making myself one of those big thick fuzzy Northern Water Tribe coats. I want one so bad...

Gads, I can't wait until next Monday! I'mma bake a cake and put the symbols of the four nations on it! It's so cool that Jun's back, though.

http://katsari-chan.deviantart.com/art/Ember-Isle-Reject-83370523 <== This was possibly the funniest thing I saw right after watching the Ember Isle preview.

[oslapedo]

That comic makes my heart lul  I'm sure Suki's intently observing for research...

A fuzzy water tribe coat would be awesome! But I think I'd enjoy the air nomad's flamboyantly obtrusive orange robes and whatnot.

Cake sounds really yummy. I mean copy right infringe you and bake an avatard cake too. I think I'd doodle a chibi Aang face on it

Jun... eh... she's alright but I didn't really like her when I first saw her. What we need is more hippies like Chong! And of course more smexy Sokka!

[LtCommanderRichie]

As long as they don't bring back Jin, I'm good.

And I mean, Jun is pretty cool in her own right. She's got a giant mole-badger-anteater-thing that she rides, after all.

What I really want is a set of Dai Lee robes. Those are awesome beyond all doubt. And, you know, a big fluffy Water Tribe jacket. That would be cool.

[Negima]

Avatar fan over here and I'm a big-time shipper to boot (can't help it).
But don't worry.  I'm not one of those fans that will bite your head off if you disagree with me.... well, maybe if you're a Tokka fan.  (I'm a Taang fan)

I've been looking forward to the finale for a long time.  I still wondering why they waited to show the finale months after the last aired episode.

[oslapedo]

I loved Jin! She was so mello, and she just went with the flow and played along with Zuko's crazy fool child self!  Maiko? Pfft, Zujin is where it's at. I think we can all agree that between "u"s and "i"s, "i" is superior  

Personally I think it would be fantasmical if the airbending staffs existed in real life. But I guess I could just grab a normal staff, go the way of Aang, and just bend air into it   That would be...succesful.

Le Edit~ Taang... I'm not sure if I should go there 

I think the reason they waited so long is because they weren't exactly finishe with the episodes. Either that or Nick doesn't know how to handle quality shows 

[LtCommanderRichie]

Taang, Sukka and Zutara FTW! : D I'm such a pairing tard when it comes down to it.

Anybody ever read rufftoon's 'Water Tribe' fancomic on Deviantart? I'm not much of a Zhao fangirl, but it's still all kinds of funny.

[nikkiolie]

I heard a rumor that Zuko's mom might be coming back. O.o For the finally I may dress my dog up as Appa


My Appa is the one on the left, surprisingly my other dog acts a lot like momo.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Rumor nuthin, Nickelodeon said that the Gaang is finding her first.

[TomtheFanboy]

Avatar is pretty cool. I wish I watched more of it.
I love Appa. Every show should have a flying buffalo.

[nikkiolie]

I knew that she was in it but if people didn't want spoilers then I was only going to say it was a rumor.

[LtCommanderRichie]

It's hardly a spoiler, they said it halfway through the second season. Around the same time they unveiled the first Avatar Season 3 DVD cover, actually.

[nikkiolie]

.....well I didn't know it till Sakuracon when they showed the preview (that I missed x.x)

[Negima]

I think the reason they waited so long is because they weren't exactly finishe with the episodes. Either that or Nick doesn't know how to handle quality shows 

I heard they already had the episodes finished.  One person on an avatar forum I go to said they know someone who works for nickelodeon and he knew the ending back in January.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Nickelodeon is just a total buttmunch like that.

[nikkiolie]

I want to see it so bad. We should have a party or something. I wanted to watch the last two newest episodes and it was going to be the same weekend as Kumoricon lite and a group of my friends were over but Nickelodeon didn't air it. I was so pissed.

[LtCommanderRichie]

They put The Boiling Rock parts 1 and 2 on the latest Season 3 DVD... Even though they haven't been aired on American television yet.

[nikkiolie]

yeah I was so mad. I was expecting to see it and I spent an hour searching for it x.x

[Syd-chan]

o-o Really? On the DVD? Damn. Wait...When is the huge marionthon happening. 0-0 [/must mark on her imaginary calander]

[Higuma]

Avatar is a great show!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Huge marathon starts the 14th (next Monday), and goes to the 18th (next Friday). They're showing one new episode each night, with a series finale of chapters 18-21 in one big movie event Friday night.

[Negima]

They put The Boiling Rock parts 1 and 2 on the latest Season 3 DVD... Even though they haven't been aired on American television yet.

Yeah, that made no sense to me whatsoever.  They released it on DVD... THEN they air it?
The only reason I can think of for that is they thought some people would be so desperate that they would buy the DVD just so they could find out what happens next.

[Syd-chan]

Ah, thank you!!! [/jots down]

[nikkiolie]

Did it end Friday night? I thought it was Saturday. I was checking the episode and it seemed like the new ones didn't start till Wednesday. But it could just be wrong on the tv.

They did it because the dvd was released by the canadian company that owns avatar. Nickelodeon gets it from them. Its nickelodeon that is dragging it out so long. The canadian company didnt want to wait for nick so they released it on dvd. 

[LtCommanderRichie]

Technically, new ones start Wednesday. But they're still playing The Boiling Rock 1/2 on Monday and Tuesday. Since they've been out on DVD, and on the internet, and on tv in Canada... They're not actually new.

Yeah that is the schedule that I saw. So someone else saw it and my tv wasn't wrong. Not like it matters I am going to watch them all week ^_^

[oslapedo]

Me too, it's much more satisfying watching Avatar on the telly, than it is when it's all blurry and pixelated on the computer. And I could watch Zuko's spiel a million times and still laugh during each viewing

Btw guys, if anyone has read the Avatar "Sozin's Comet" finale spoiler book thingy, could we please not speak of the spoilers within it? I've been really wary of my Avatar scrounging on the internets because I don't want my epic finale viewing to be epicly ruined by some childlishly written bull crap. 

[nikkiolie]

I am usually really careful not to tell others spoilers. Sometimes though some spoilers are so epic that you have to tell someone, then you have to find someone who wants to hear it x.x

[oslapedo]

I have to be careful too. I usually jst pester real-life friends about spoilers though, so I'm not banned from the internetz 

Is anyone cosplaying for Avatar? I seriously would give an Avatar cosplayer the most epic high five EVER. Btw, Nikkiolie your Appa doggy is so accurately adorable. I want a Momo lemur 

[nikkiolie]

Thank you. I want to go as Azula some time. I love her so much. Her bad ass attitude it amazing. It wont be till next year or for Sakuracon though.

[oslapedo]

I'm not sure who I'd befit as an Avatar cosplay... Maybe next year I'll do Jin since I love her so much

I just finished watching western air temple, firebending masters, and boiling rock 1 + 2 yesterday and wow! I cant wait to see the rest!

[nikkiolie]

I really liked boiling rock 1 and 2, but I really want to know what happens next >_< Thursday is too far away damn it!

[oslapedo]

Western Air Temple on tonight ladies and gents! My TV is broken right now so... I'll have to hold out for tommorrow. Ah well, WAT has already been viewed 

We already have a vague idea of what will happen in Southern Raiders thanks to the NYCC trailer. Kazuko ninja time? Oh yes, it will be epic 

[LtCommanderRichie]

Thursday? Too far! I can't wait that long!

[Higuma]

2 more days!

[nikkiolie]

I can make it. I can make it. If I keep telling myself that maybe I can do it. I am going to have to watch boiling rock 1 and 2 again because they were so epic. 2 more days! Only 2 more days!

[oslapedo]

Okay, I caved and watched WAT last night out in our disgustingly icky living room And oh my friggin gosh, even though I've already watched it a billion times it was still quite amazing. I reccomend everyone watch FBM tonight; it shall be epic.

I'm really pumped up for Saturday, I'm having an Avatar finale party sleepover with all my avatarded friends. I'm SO pumped up!

Btw, anyone else see the Avatar commercials on Nick? If you haven't, then watch Avatar tonight! They're really amazing and contain scenes from the finale. And they even say the word "die" instead of "end"! Man I love Avatar 

[nikkiolie]

If my friends were close by I would have a party but they are all over the place. I just enjoy the show by myself with some popcorn and possible ice cream ^_^

[oslapedo]

I love ice cream! I was going to make a bunch of elaborate food items reminiscent of stuff from AtLA but... I think I'll just order a bunch of pizzas 

I watched FBM, and it was so epic! I love the *slightish spoiler* beautiful flames. It's also quite enjoyable to see Zuko and Aang's "friendship" blossom Actual new episodes are only two days away! Southern Raiders... here we come!

[Higuma]

watching avatar right now

[nikkiolie]

I saw the end of it. ^_^ Even though I have see that ep once it was still good. I can watch any episode of Avatar and still love it.

[chibiroth]

i am so glad to see that there are others that love avatar besides me! this series is epic1

[nikkiolie]

It is very epic. I can't wait till I get my external hard drive so I can download all of them ^_^

[Negima]

Thought some of you would like this comic by rufftoon.

http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/Quest-For-Fire-91833274

[Higuma]

That was funny!

[Syd-chan]

[/blink] at 8? The news one come on at 4 for me.

[nikkiolie]

weird. It should only be on 3 hours earlier and that is if you have a dish....I don't know what to tell you

[oslapedo]

I get Avatar on at 5 AND 8, since we have two nickelodeon channels Boilng Rocks tonight youz guyz! And, only one more day until real new episodes! It's a great time to be an avatard 

[LtCommanderRichie]

Yeah, sure. My *(#$&(*#@ piece of (*#@&$(* older brother just went and took a handful out of my cake.

#(*$&%(@#*$&%(!*@#&$%(!&$^%&^*&^%(*&#$)(*!&@#(*$&*!&%^&#$^(*&#@$!!! If I could swear on this forum...

[Syd-chan]

Gah, it WAS five. My sense of time is pretty messed up. XD Hell, I don't even know what day it is. But, watching Scrubs right now waiting for Boiling Rocks.

[oslapedo]

Just watched the episode and... Zuko knows who killed Katara and Sokka's mom! And they're going to embark on epic ninja madness! I was squealing so much when that preview came on! I'm SO excited I can't contain my enthusiasm.

When we were re-watching WAT (again) we were in giggle fits. Did anyone else notice that as Toph is crawling away from Zuko, she has the most intense Higurashi face ever  I'll post a screenshot when I find one.

I'm sorry about your cake Richie, would cyber cookies make you feel any better? 

My sense of time is only in balance because I have summer school, so I'd trade you Syd-chan Only 2 more days left...!

[nikkiolie]

New episodes tomorrow night! I can't wait. I need to set them to record or I might forget x.x

[Syd-chan]

Gah. I'm a little afraid to know the date. Probaby because I'm seriously screwed come the day after KumoriCon. Why does it need to be RIGHT before school? My sleeping schedual will be focused around Con curfew[which actually isn't that much later from when I actually go to bed on school nights....], plus I get to deal with school. =.= YAY. [/cursecursecurse]

[LtCommanderRichie]

: D Oh well! Avatar in fourteen hours should make that all better!

[nikkiolie]

Gah. I'm a little afraid to know the date. Probaby because I'm seriously screwed come the day after KumoriCon. Why does it need to be RIGHT before school? My sleeping schedual will be focused around Con curfew[which actually isn't that much later from when I actually go to bed on school nights....], plus I get to deal with school. =.= YAY. [/cursecursecurse]

hahahahaha my school doesn't start till somewhere around the 24 of September

[Darknight2433]

Dude, how could I miss this topic? I LOVE AVATAR! XD So, does anyone know when the episode after the Boiling Rock is going to be on? Today orrrr later?

[Higuma]

today, it is called southern raiders

[Darknight2433]

today, it is called southern raiders

Iloveyou.

Nah, kidding, but thanks anyway! 

[LtCommanderRichie]

It's on a five and eight if you have a dish, or just eight if you have cable.

[Syd-chan]

YAY FOR DISH!!! One more hour! =.= Then craploads of Zutara will pop up, I'm sure. [/hasn't seen]

[LtCommanderRichie]

XD and that's a bad thing... How? At least it makes more sense than Kataang (even if the latter is slightly more canon).

Okay, yeah, totally not starting a shipping war here.

But he did tie her to a tree...

[nikkiolie]

Dude, how could I miss this topic? I LOVE AVATAR! XD So, does anyone know when the episode after the Boiling Rock is going to be on? Today orrrr later?

I actually think that boiling rock will be on again today. My cable doesn't show the episodes but at 7 there is an hour block and I have a feeling it will be boiling rock 1 and 2 and then the new one at 8.

[Syd-chan]

XD and that's a bad thing... How? At least it makes more sense than Kataang (even if the latter is slightly more canon).

Okay, yeah, totally not starting a shipping war here.

But he did tie her to a tree...

Kinky.... AHEM. XD Anyway...I saw it, but as the preview started, my dad's cell phone rang, thus causing the TV to stop working. -.-#

[LtCommanderRichie]

That episode is probably going to make all the Zutards go nuts. I don't blame them.

Gotta admit, the Sokka/Suki thing was hilarious.

[oslapedo]

I LOVED the Suki/Sokka thing! It made my unromantic heart flutter with joy! Also, Katara really cheesed me off... she is such a friggin dinkbat, I think I might be a Taang shipper now

A buttload of revelations happened in this episode, and what the heck, we even know the name of Katara's mom now! It fantasmical! Also, I wonder if there was even a full moon in this episode, if there wasn't then Katara cheatbended during her bloodbending 

Everyone should watch this as if their lives depended on it, it's pretty much the most epic thing ever, and next episode we get Aangst 

[Negima]

Oh gawd, I fell in love with this episode.  Absolutely loved it.

And now they tempted all the shippers with that preview for Friday.  8 Pm Friday can't get here fast enough.

And at least now we know where the "Sokka with rose" scene came into play.  After he swallowed the flower I kept thinking, "Yeah, nice cover up."

[Syd-chan]

XD I was WONDERING where that rose would come into play...Hmm...It just occured to me that I have the perfect hair for Suki....  ._. XD Maybe I'll attempt a Boiling Rock cosplay for the hell of it. >.> It looks comfy.

[nikkiolie]

I thought the episode was ok. It was good at the start up till Katara left with Zuko then it got WAYYYYYY to serious. It was nice though to learn more about what happened to her mother. ^_^ I would still watch this episode several times

[oslapedo]

Well tonight's episode will certainly lighten up the serious atmosphere

You should so do a Suki cosplay Syd-chan. You'd be my hero!

[Darknight2433]

....I missed it. 

I'll go cry now...

[Negima]

....I missed it. 

I'll go cry now...

Quick!  Youtube or Avatar Chapters!  You can't miss yesterday's.

[SageBell]

looking forward to more. i've watched alot of previous ep's to understand whats going on and whose who so starting at this point in this season wasn't too hard

yesterday was a marathon to it helped a bunch as well weeeee

[LtCommanderRichie]

They show the previous day's episode right before the new one! Quickly, you must wait until 4:30 or 7:30!

[nikkiolie]

If you missed the last one it's on right now....it says it's Zoey 101 but its not.....I was kind of disapointed v.v

[nikkiolie]

Watching Avatar as I type this. I am having some issues though. The sound keeps cutting out....but it seems to be fixing it's self. But I may move upstairs anyway.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Tomorrow's it!

I'll bet they'll have two trailers running, one that gets the Zutards riled up and one that gets the Kataangers riled up.

[Syd-chan]

Well tonight's episode will certainly lighten up the serious atmosphere

You should so do a Suki cosplay Syd-chan. You'd be my hero!

XD I REALLY want to do one. >.> It doesn't look amazingly hard. GAH! I was supporting Zutara, but now I think I'm going for Kataang. >.<

[LtCommanderRichie]

Bad Syd, bad! *whacks* No changing sides this late in the game! XD

If I ever do a Kyoshi Warrior cosplay, I'll go all-out and do Avatar Kyoshi.

[nikkiolie]

I am so going to do Azula one day. I love Azula. She is so bad ass, one of the few girls that is amazing ^_^

[Negima]

I just watched The Ember Island Players.  Wow!

As a shipper, that was gold.
"At least the effects were decent." XD

[Higuma]

Next is the movie, the final battle, time to pop the popcorn turn off the lights and glue my eyes to the tv

[LtCommanderRichie]

XD heck yeah, I don't think I've been this hyped for an episode of Avatar since the Book Two: Earth finale.

[Daxe]

They had better bring back uncle iroh back for the movie or I will be pissed... but then satisfied by the series finale. I almost wish it would go on, but sometimes you need to know when the perfect time to stop is.

[Higuma]

I dont think they could bring back uncle iroh cause the actor (Mako) who did iroh's voice is dead.

[Super_Pimp_Kyuya]

i luvs the avatar ^^ i cant wait for the finale..i might miss the movie though

[nikkiolie]

I dont think they could bring back uncle iroh cause the actor (Mako) who did iroh's voice is dead.

wow that is very depressing.....maybe they'll get a new guy and replace him ^_^ *is very hopeful*

I'm going to miss the movie too. I am going to go see Dark Knight at 7. Thank God for DVRs ^_^

They did, his apprentice. He voiced Iroh when he was stuck in prison. If you compare voices, they are different. 

[nikkiolie]

YAY that makes me happy! I couldn't tell the difference, just like I couldn't tell the difference between the two actors that played Dumbledore in Harry Potter x.x

[Syd-chan]

Bad Syd, bad! *whacks* No changing sides this late in the game! XD

If I ever do a Kyoshi Warrior cosplay, I'll go all-out and do Avatar Kyoshi.

Ow! I meant for Halloween or something! XD AVATAR KYOSHI?! ZOMG. DO IT.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Not until I finish Valclav, Yuffie, Angeal and probably Nuada! I'll work on her at some point in all that, but GRAH!

The good thing is that my feet are big enough and I'm certainly tall enough.

[nikkiolie]

I am going to do Azula for Kumoricon. I love Azula. It will be her beach party costume ^_^

[Syd-chan]

DOOD. WTF? WHY THE HJFUSHIDGIJS-ING CLIFFHANGER? But, it was still full of win!

[EmAino]

Wow.  That was AWESOME!

I HAVE to work some version of Sokka into my cosplay schedule at Kumoricon.

[SageBell]

missed it. but has special channels that are also nick and will be playing movie at 4 6 and 9

[LtCommanderRichie]

D: not cool. Well, at least there'll be a new series of it for looking for Ursa'n stuff like that.

But still, kinda wish they'd remained neutral in the pairing department. It all seemed kinda... Stuck onto the end just so the shippers would shut up. Well guess what, betches? Yeah, no. I've stuck with Zutara since 2005, not going back now.

That is all.

[Negima]

Actually, the other guy was even the voice of Iroh as early as the School Shipping episode (one of the chibi episodes).

And wow, I just watched the movie.  That was amazing.  Well worth the wait.
And with that cliffhanger.... could the rumored season 4 be true?  Looks like it.

[Syd-chan]

Wow? Early as School Shipping? o.o FIRE IS THE BEST.  I don't think it's true....>.< But, maybe a spin-off? DX They'll probably butcher it.

[Negima]

Wow? Early as School Shipping? o.o FIRE IS THE BEST.  I don't think it's true....>.< But, maybe a spin-off? DX They'll probably butcher it.

The rumored Season 4, according to the rumors, doesn't follow the Gaang.  From what I heard it's either going to be in the past or the future.

Thanks for enlightening the rest. Iroh has already spoken prior to the finale, he talked to Zuko in "The Avatar and the Fire Lord", and all of Iroh's work was in fact done by a Mako apprentice.

There is, and will be NO 4th season. There is no "Air" book. There are plenty of interviews with Bryke that prove this, and I'll dig them up later when my tummy doesn't feel like it's going to esplode (such are the repurcussions of an endless stream of junk food . Bryke have said that they're working or are planning on making an Avatar movie, so that shoul fulfill our Ursa lnging hearts The 4th season wouldn't really even be a 4th season at all- it would be more akin to a spin-off series.

I'll get really into my thoughts and feelings later (when all of my Avatardian friends take their leave tommorrow, and when I'm not sugar comatised). One of the main things that I would have changed about the AMAZING finale isthe opening monologue, done by Katara during the entire course of the series. I think on the last episode instead of saying "...he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone...", considering the progress that Aang's made I think she should have referenced the journey that they've made and how the circle is coming to a close. But I loved it, and my friends-even the ones that have only seen a few episodes- loved it so I'm happy.

I feel like I did after reading the last Harry Potter book though. Now I need to find a new reason for living

Which is what turned me onto cosplaying/anime. I haven't left!

[nikkiolie]

I was up late watching this movie and I loved it. I got to see Dark Knight and the finale of Avatar all in one night/morning. I thought the ending was really good. I can't believe what happened to Azula.....I guess you really do need friends in this world ^_^ I did feel like the battle with Aang and the Fire Lord was dragged out too long but I was very tired and wanting it to end so I could go to bed, but other then that it was great.

[oslapedo]

I'm opposite of that view nikkiolie, I wished that it was longer My favorite battle was probably the agni kai between Zuko and Azula. The blows of their fire were animated beautifully, and the background music echoed how utterly epic it was. Besides, watching Azula descend into Crazula was interesting.

I was slightly confused though about Aang's ability to trigger the avatar state. I thought that Aang had sealed the chakra needed to release the avatar state, how is it that a lone rock could be capable of awakening it?

I'm stuck an Avatar hangover right now. I can't function at all I'm really curious though, in "Southern Raiders" what was the significance between Sokka tinkering with a garland of flowers?

Which is what turned me onto cosplaying/anime. I haven't left!

Maybe I will find something else to entertain my mind as well, as soon as my brain starts working again...

I have a few questions myself. First of all, the Lionturtle. Did he use some sort of hypnosis to make Aang go on him? It couldn't have been his past lives, because they knew nothing about it. And why would his scent, according to the tracker's nose, be completely taken out of existence? He'd just be over the water.

And my favorite battle was everything with Toph. Her metal-bending skills left me amazed and laughing.  On for the second favorite, it would have to be the Avatar-state that Aang was in with the swirling things that made me impressed tied with the fight with Zuko and the out-of-it Azula.

I was kind of annoyed with the pairings galore, because literally EVERY pairing was there. Well, every sane pairing.

Last but not least, my favorite part of the whole movie was Zuko's reunion with his uncle. I thought that Zuko's voice actor hit top notch with the shakiness of it all. 

[SageBell]

watchin it on Nicktoons channel 126 woo yay me

[nikkiolie]

I liked Toph's life changing field trip XD

That was good. The fight between Zuko and Azula was my other favorite part.

[Darknight2433]

Hahaha poor Toph. No love for her. I love how she went on and on about herself and didn't really care that Aang was gone. XD

I like how the old crazy Earth king was all 'SOMEONE VERY IMPORTANT IS MISSING. WHERE IS...MOMO?!'

[nikkiolie]

I so knew he was going to say that. I knew it all along......to bad no one else was in the room v.v

[Darknight2433]

I watched it with my dad and my best friend. It was kinda funny, because my friend kept complaining about everything...lol

[nikkiolie]

I was alone in my room and all hyped up because I just got back from Dark Knight.

[Darknight2433]

Lucky, I want to see it sooo bad!

But anyway, what did everyone else think of the movie?

[SageBell]

just finished it!! good good. a little awkward when ang took the fire lords powers away though.

[Higuma]

just finished it!! good good. a little awkward when ang took the fire lords powers away though.

I kind of saw that part coming when ang was not willing to kill the fire lord. It was kind of predictable, but Avatar is a kids show.

[chibiroth]

its was really good! i thought that some of the pairings were kinda just shoved together at the end, but i am so glad that zuko's uncle came back and that the white lotus was finally explained.

[Negima]

Meh... I don't fully agree with that.
A kids show that included blood, Jet's death, Zhao's death, Azula, the rose scene, fan service (the beach scenes)... I'm sure I'm forgetting something else.
They probably didn't want the main protaginist to be seen as a killer.

[SageBell]

there were also part where it felt a little dragon ballzee

Oh, thanks so reminding me.

I was really, REALLY surprised that they had Azula be THAT crazy, like struggling so much and breathing pointless fire everywhere. That was really good in the realistic department, but a lot more then Nick would regularly allow.

[oslapedo]

I LOVED Azula's descent into craziness. And I actually enjoyed how Aang found an alternative to killing Ozai. If you think about it, rotting away his life in a cell after being ridiculed by children is probably much worse than death for the "proud" phoenix king

[Higuma]

I never said it was a bad ending, I just said that about half way through I knew what would probably happen and I was right. I Love Avatar and I liked the ending, in no way was I saying anything bad about the show. Also Avatar is intended for kids(or older kids) thats why it is on nickelodeon or go to best buy and see what section the avatar dvds are in. I still love it but as an adult I am not the target audience.

[oslapedo]

I see what you're saying I appreciate Avatar for it's ability to reach beyond the "target audience". It was truly epic, and I'll always cherish the journey of the gAang in my heart.

Pretty much. 

[samalam]

I dont love over-killed shows but I hope they have like a bonus episode like what the heck happends with zuko something.
but nick is know for killing shows before there time but they might come to there senses...
by the way funny as heck to azula lose her mind I always didnt like her. 

[nikkiolie]

sad.....I like Azula.There is something about mean kick ass girls that is really appealing to me. It gives me someone to cosplay as. I don't like whinny girls like Sakura >_< Temari and Azula (well maybe not so much her anymore) can take care of them selves but still need to rely on other sometime. They are independent yet dependent at the same time O.o

[Syd-chan]

Same, same....Which is why I loved Azula. XD My brother was all like 'STILL LIKE HER NOW?' when she was going crazy. I said something to the effect of..."HO, YES! YEAH! LIGHTTTTTTTENING!"

[nikkiolie]

lol that is epic. I do like Zuko more than her so it sucked when he got hit v.v at least she didn't die ^_^

Water tribe here.

[LtCommanderRichie]

FAIYAH NASHUN!

[Negima]

Water tribe
Followed closely by Earth and Fire with Air being a distant 4th (which kinda surprised me)

[Higuma]

Earth kingdom baby yeah!

[Catmegan]

YESH! FELLOW AVATAR FANS!!!

I'm such and avatar nerd. I'm tempted to do an Azula or Ty-lee cosplay.

The ending was really good, it made me happy. ^_^ but I heard that they are going to continue Avatar, but it's going to be a different Avatar. Does anyone know anything about that? Or is it just a crazy rumor?

[Daxe]

wow... actually I hope your right. But can they top the series where the fire nation has almost taken over the entire planet? How can you one up that?

[LtCommanderRichie]

When the next Avatar is a Swamp Waterbender. That would just about blow everything out of the water.

"You think everythin' tastes like opossum-chicken!"

[nikkiolie]

I heard that it was going to be background of Azula and Zuko, or about their mother.....that is just what I heard.

[Catmegan]

Oh that would be so cool! They never told you enough about their mother. I would like to see how they would do that.

But I'm sure that it won't be as good as The last airbender. That was a pretty epic show.

Ok so I love the fire nation. They made me laugh really hard because they were all scary and stuff and then when you saw them off duty they were so silly.

[nikkiolie]

I love the fire nation too. I was working on the quiz but I was also busy uploading pictures from the picnic so that had priority. .....I'm going to finish the quiz now.

[nikkiolie]

I is water tribe, then fire, air and earth in last. It almost looks like I was a point or so off from being fire. It was really close.

[Catmegan]

The fire and water tribes are my favorite. I kinda wish I knew more about Air but all you saw was the monks. I want to know what the normal air bending people were like.

[LtCommanderRichie]

They were all monks, so far as I know. The reason every single Air nation person was a bender was because they had a higher level of spirituality, most likely coming from them all being monks.

[Oniyukai]

Just saw the finale...it was soo good.

[Catmegan]

Maybe I just have a hard time believing a WHOLE race of people were monks. I mean there has to be a few rebels right?

[oslapedo]

You would think that, but I guess since all of the monks were brought up to believe in peace they never considered anything else? I'm kind of curious though as to why they're called nomads when they stay in the same place constantly. Surely a few would have evaded fire nation forces during travels and whatnot.

[nikkiolie]

why would anyone rebel from a peaceful culture? I mean i understand people rebelling from the fire nation.....but the air temples?

[Catmegan]

Maybe the People didn't like having a shaved head?! That would make me rebel!

[nikkiolie]

I guess.......

[Higuma]

YESH! FELLOW AVATAR FANS!!!

Mabey it will be zuko trying to find his mother.

[Super_Pimp_Kyuya]

  i didnt get to see the finale how was it??

[oslapedo]

^ Absolutely amazing. The finale has cinematic esque production values; the music, animation, and everything are absolutely stunning. I think you should watch it as soon as humanly possible

[nikkiolie]

I saw that it was on nicktoons network last night

[Super_Pimp_Kyuya]

T.T i keep missing it ive only seen like 2 mins of it so far T.T

[oslapedo]

Aw  Oh well, just envision fantastical scenes of glory in your mind to hold you off until you can see the real thing.

[Negima]

T.T i keep missing it ive only seen like 2 mins of it so far T.T

Check out avatarchapters.org.  That's what I did when they released the episodes early (like Boiling Rock and such)

[nikkiolie]

It's on all the time. I'm sure it will be on this weekend.

[Aima_Lucavi]

ya, they do whore that thing. but then again it is amazing.

[nikkiolie]

It was amazing and i want to get all the episodes and have a party one day....but it wont be till after school starts.

[Aima_Lucavi]

that sounds kewl

[EveofAbyss]

So Nikkiolie has convinced me to do two things related to Avatar: 1, watch Avatar in it's entirety so I can learn about Combustion Man and 2, cosplay as Combustion Man. So yeah, I've got some studying to do, heh.

[Darknight2433]

Haha, that'd be awesome!

[Aima_Lucavi]

one of the best minor characters EVER

[nikkiolie]

YES! I WIN! I think he is a great character and I would love to see him. I don't think he talks though....and sokka beats him ^_^

[Aima_Lucavi]

true....but in his defense

*looks over there*

[nikkiolie]

yeah you right Sokka is a genius! I like Sokka.

[Aima_Lucavi]

yes, he is relatively amazing....AND A PLAYA 

[nikkiolie]

really I know. Two girls....I thought Suki was going to hit him once he told her to be quiet about Yue during the play.

[Aima_Lucavi]

ya ^^. oh well, the show ending was amazing but the fact that its over is just saddening.

[nikkiolie]

yeah it does make me sad. I want to see new episodes but its best that they ended it instead of ruining it.

[Aima_Lucavi]

well im not going to argue against that. i hate when things get dragged on too long and lose all appeal whatsoever *cough* inuyasha *cough*

[nikkiolie]

yeah inuyasha is really long too. I like very few characters in it......only the band of seven.

[Aima_Lucavi]

A SWORD IS NOT A HALBERD *implodes and laughs (yes in that order, what do you think i am sane or something?)

[Hawkeye]

Sokka is a smart alec as well as being a playa.  :-)  He's one of my favorites from the show, aside from Aang himself.

[nikkiolie]

I love Sokka.....when he drank the juice from the cactus I couldn't stop laughing.

[Aima_Lucavi]

i think the koshi (doubt i spelt that right) reincarnation thingy where hes tricked out with all the stuff was awesome.

[oslapedo]

Sokka's a beast I love everything about Sukka, they are the one true pair to rule all pairs!

[samalam]

I'm so sad in the end toff got no one to love
so sad...

[oslapedo]

I personally think that Toph is only awesome enough to love herself But she did hug that one little kid at the end, the Duke was his name?

[kuri_chan]

um this is only a RUMOr, but I've hear whispers of a movie. This makes me wonder what they could possibly do besides one thing.

If you pay attention the the scene where Zuko speaks to his father in prison then the only probable storyline for a movie is the search for Zuko's mother.

Does anyone else think that might be it, or an I talking out my...you know what.

[oslapedo]

I'm sure they'll expand on Zuko's mama. There are quite a few other plotlines that could be explored though, like Iroh's journey to the spririt world for instance

[pinkrandomattack]

the stuff i read in regaurds to that mentioned that m night shamalan would be directing. **** if i know why, it would be his first time directing both something he didnt write and a "childrens" film (i think avatar has plenty going on that its more of an all ages thing, but you know...nickelodeon) .  also the article kinda implied that it would just be a re- hashing of the series, not that anything is really clear at this point its supposed to be kinda far out, and not some kinda continuation of the story.

(on a small side note even though i think it would have been nice to have a fourth "book of air" season, i think the last few episodes were really well done and didn't leave me wanting much, i felt at piece with the end of the show which doesn't always happen)

also i just cant see how this could be well done live action. the fight scenes in the show were so well done, and you dont have to worry about special effects or stunt people when youre working with animation.  there was like...one or two guys that helped with all the motion capture/choreography.
i seriously doubt they could find actors that would work for the main characters age range that were also ninjas. though i do think the guy who voiced zuko  could almost play him live action, if he were a little younger.

[Spit]

though i do think the guy who voiced zuko  could almost play him live action, if he were a little younger.

i totally agree with you. the kid would voices for aang might be alright i haven't seen much of him, so i don't know what kind of actor he is. i just wish that avatar wasn't intertwined with nickelodeon. T_T because then the show's ending wouldn't have been so rushed feeling...and if they are making a live action they could choose good actors. but thats all just my opinion.

yeah, hes kinda rediculous, he hasent been in much (also apprently hes like 33...he really shouldn't play a 17ish year old).

but this picture of him is hillarious.





also it should be noted there is a totally unrelated movie by the same name comming out soon to, its some kinda sci fi thing.

[nikkiolie]

I love Hook and Rufio. He was one of my favorite characters but he died >_<

I had no idea he did Zuko's voice

[LtCommanderRichie]

RU-FI-O! RU-FI-O! RU-FI-O!

Er... Yeah. We had a counselor at camp that looked JUST like him, and on Pirate night he rode his skateboard around the dining hall while we chanted that.

But yeah, I personally think that M. Night Shamalan proably wasn't the best choice for the director. I don't know about you guys, but I think he should stick to suspenseful horror/thriller/whatever stuff.

[Spit]

what the crap? hes 33? BWAAHAHHAHA! thats so funny. to me he looks like hes 17. kind of creepy.....

[nikkiolie]

Well that movie is really really old so he could have been around 17 at the time.....I think it is about 15 years old >_>

[Higuma]

I saw a recent picture of him and he still does not look that old.

[pinkrandomattack]

I saw a recent picture of him and he still does not look that old.

true he does look rather dashing.  however i dont think he should play a 17yearold.  that would just be silly.

[nikkiolie]

yeah it would look kinda weird.....

[oslapedo]

I really hope they get asian actors for the movie. I realize Avatar is an american cartoon, but it also takes place in an asian setting, so I hope M. Night doesn't mess it up... xD

[nikkiolie]

I don't really care as long as the actors and actresses look good and play the character well.

[oslapedo]

That's true, as long as their ethnicity doesn't detract from the viewing experience. I hope the Water Tribe actors are at least tannish. x3

[nikkiolie]

yeah i think they would look much better if they were tan.

[pinkrandomattack]

I don't really care as long as the actors and actresses look good and play the character well.

while i think thats true, i think they should try to stay ethnically similar within the nations. if zuko is asian, than at least most (if not all) of the fire nation people should be too.  but that doesnt mean that earth kingdom people couldnt be non-asian.

im all for having an open mind. but i dont like genetics to be completely ignored.

like in that version of cinderella with brandy in it that came out a few years ago wherein

this plus equals

maybe they adopted.

there is such a thing as too pc.

[nikkiolie]

I think the earth kingdom should be like Russian....or German >_> (I know that it is a bad stereotype)

[oslapedo]

I don't see how that's a bad stereotype, but it is pretty hilarious to imagine the earthbenders like that XD

I wonder how they'll do the special effects for bending... I cross my fingers for epicness!

[nikkiolie]

Well it is a stereotype saying that all Russians and or Germans as really muscular and masculine looking >_>

[oslapedo]

I've never heard of that being a stereotype! It's a lot better than America's fat stereotypes though ^_^,

I know they won't be able to fit everything that happens in Book 1 into a single movie, so I wonder what events and what characters they'll cut out. Suki better be in it!

[nikkiolie]

I'm sure she will....I mean she shows up in every book.......Yue might not be in it though >_>

[oslapedo]

Hm... I think Yue has a pretty good chance since she's kind of the one who saves the day in Siege of the North And I remember reading an interview (I could try and find it) that said that the Siege of the North will be in the movie.

I'm pretty sure Suki will be in too... but they may rearrange her appearance and scoot her to the 2nd or 3rd movie. She's only in one episode in Book 1 after all

[pinkrandomattack]

but then wouldnt they have to change how/when they met her? since shes kinda important in the last few episodes, in which VAST amounts of plot takes place.

one can assume they wont include material from episodes like...the beach *blegh* or sadly probably not the secret tunnel episode.

[nikkiolie]

I liked the Beach. That was my favorite episode. It was so funny.

[oslapedo]

I liked the Beach too. I kind of like all Avatar episodes, even the Great Divide x3

[nikkiolie]

There are a few I will only watch once and several that I'll watch many many times

[pinkrandomattack]

the beach was perhaps the only episode i thought was just...wrong.  everything up to that point, while sometimes rediculous, made sense.  and then this horrible formula episode shows its head "hay i know, lets make all the characters half nekkid and have them crash a party!" they dont have anything more important to do.

dont get me wrong there was more substance to the episode than many animes "beach episode", like i think it was towards the end of that that azula's chikies really started thinking she was nuts. but still.

yes it was "fun" and there were funny moments...but i dunno.  maybe i just expect to much.

[nikkiolie]

I wasn't expecting anything. I was expecting it to be a vacation episode with a lot of funny parts and that's what I got ^_^
