Avatar: The Last Airbender
About:
Ang is the last airbender, and also the avatar, meaning he is the only living person that can control all of the elements (earth, air, fire, and water) with the proper training. The fire nation has attacked, and it is up to Ang being properly trained to save the world from the fire nation. He has the help of Kitara and Sokka, both from the water nation. Zuko is after Ang before he can save the world to protect the fire nations. The episodes revolve around Ang's training, him evading Zuko, Zuko's strained relationship with his father (the fire lord), and the future of the world. Can Ang save it?
Review:
I've only watched about 6-7 episodes with my son, but I think the show is great. Aside from the fantastical elements, the show also contains real scenarios that tweens can relate to, such as first crushes, sibling and family issues, friendship, and loss. Add into that the power to bend the elements and you have a pretty cool, addicting show. The show is appropriate for the whole family, and none of the content that I've seen thus far is questionable. There is fighting (and it is based on real martial arts), but nothing gory. If you watch enough episodes, you'll get sucked in and want to watch the entire series beginning to end. Maybe I speak from experience. I also like how Kitara, the female protagonist, is empowered, learning bending from Ang also. The series will appeal to both genders, and tweens younger and older.
