Does Avatar: The Last Airbender get better?

[CyberCubed]

So I finished the show!

The action scenes in the finale were really well done. I enjoyed the fights between Aang and the Fire Lord and Azula and Zuko. I also liked that every character played a part in the finale.

I'm a bit disappointed Mei and Ty Lee didn't really do anything and just got out of prison at the end, I was actually hoping for them to appear and help Katara take down Azula, oh well.

I also find it odd the show ended on a cliffhanger, as we never found out what happened to Zuko's mother? Also howcome they didn't show Azula in jail at the end like her father? I was interested to see the aftermath but we don't see her again. Lastly...nobody died. I really assumed either the Fire Lord or Azula would die, I'm surprised neither of them did.

Well I am satisfied. The show had an uneven start but picked up towards the middle and got good by the end. The show left a few things lingering, what they ever finished up anywhere else? I wonder if I should watch Korra now...

...only if you promise not to post your thoughts on it.

about Zuko's mom....they have a comic about it.
it'll either have you feeling satisfied or..."meh"

good luck with Legend of Korra.....you'll need it.

Yeah I saw that there was some comics that continued the story after the show ended, but I'm not sure if I want to read them. I usually don't like comics that try to continue off from a show after it gets canceled, and I don't want to read things that aren't a satisfying conclusion.

If there is one thing I have to say is that the show has no consequences for the villains. The only guy that died was that Admiral in the Season 1 finale, and Combusken man.

You have an evil dictator who was willing to commit genocide on half the planet and he just gets a jail sentence? I know Aang refused to kill him, but he should have wound up falling off the cliff or accidentally killing himself or something.

I think the reason more people were not killed was bc of Aang's morale stand against killing. Also Aang did take away the fire lord's bending and I thought they did show Azula in jail? maybe wrong though. As far as Korra it is fast paced like season 3 of Avatar. The action scenes are better, but the story telling is weaker.

So no love for the TMNTA Archie books, huh?

Avatar wasn't cancelled, it ended.
There's a difference.

I read they pitched a 90 minute movie after the show ended (which would have told the story of Zuko/Aang tracking down his lost mother), but Nick turned it down in favor of Korra.

I'm kinda surprised they never did an movie after the show ended, like Turtles Forever for the 4kids series. Covering Zuko's mother and wrapping up his and Azula's story would have been a good final conclusion to the series.

That's not the same as being cancelled.
I wish more shows ended when the story the writers wanted to tell was over, rather than lingering on.
