A century ago, a 12-year old boy named Avatar Aang, afraid of his new responsibilities, fled from his home and was forced into the ocean by a storm and encased himself in suspended waters in an iceberg near the South Pole. Shortly after, Fire Lord Sozin, the then-ruler of the Fire Nation, launched a world war to expand his nation's empire. He carried out a genocide against the Air Nomads with the help of a comet enhancing firebenders' power. This is due to knowing that the Avatar would be an Air Nomad. One hundred years later, two SOuthern tribe teenagers, Katara and Sokka, accidentally discover Aang and are able to revive him. The goal of the series is to defeat the corrupted Fire Lord and to let all four nations restore balance in the world.
This show has a special place in my heart. Even though it is a children show, it has so much meaning to it. The depth of the character's storyline, the details of the plot, the incorporated spiritual philosophies makes this show amazing to watch. It has lessons for both kids and adults to learn from. The progression of the show is easy to follow. You fall in love with the characters and can feel the connection amongst the protagonists and antagonists. It is a show worth watching that will expand your views of the world and the meaning of life.
