Summary: In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element.

Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic. In each generation, only one bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifested in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony. Then, the Fire Nation launched a war against the other three nations. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world domination. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken. In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The Water tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation.

Season 1 is titled "Book One: Water", and Season 2 is titled "Book Two: Earth." Each of these seasons contains twenty "chapters." Season 3 is titled "Book Three: Fire", and contains 21 "chapters."

The Pilot:

Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days.
The time of peace.
When the Avatar kept balance between
Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads.
But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Avatar masters all four elements.
Only he can stop the ruthless firebenders.
But when the world needed him most,
He vanished.

One hundred years have passed,
and Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war.
Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.

Some people believe that
the Avatar was never reborn into Air Nomads,
and that the circle is broken.

But I haven't lost hope.
I still believe that, somehow,
The Avatar will return to save the world.

Chapters 3+

The prime example of what cartoons should strive to be. It's simple on the surface, yet it contains so many deep and complex themes that a more mature viewer would pick up.

It's simple on the surface, yet it contains so many deep and complex themes that a more mature viewer would pick up. It's the true definition of "for all ages." The characters are truly a joy to experience, my personal favorite being Toph for her punky attitude and charm. The worldbuilding in this show is absolutely stellar. The writers were able to brilliantly create a living and breathing world for the characters to explore. The show's setting, both in setting and in time, is expertly crafted. The show's character building, by far, is the show's best quality. Every single main character and a large amount of side characters have personalities, problems, motives, and satisfying arcs. The shining example of this is Prince Zuko, a scarred prince, who antagonizes the protagonists in order to reclaim his honor from his father. However, he undergoes some immense change that I don't want to spoil right now. Please, just watch the show. You're missing out if you're not.… Expand

It's very fun to watch, most characters are very good, however, being that classic "show that must be on TV everyday", it goes around way too much. There's a main focus on any story point and then there's a episode of the characters doing totally random stuff.
