Does Avatar: The Last Airbender get better? - Page 14

Dammit, I just typed in Ty Lee/Avatar on google and this is one of the pics that came up:

And this was from deviantart no less. I knew the Avatar fandom was going to be filled with pics like this.

If you knew it, why did you even bother to look it up?

No matter what the franchise is, you're going to get stuff like that regardless, even if there's no basis. I'm sure turtles fanart exists of like one of the turtles romantically linked with one of the others. To me that's creepy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it exists.

If two characters can be paired you can bet it has a following, be it large or small, fanart, and fan fiction.

I still don't get the issue personally, but I guess it would help if I watched the show...

Found the pic:

This is the pic from the actual episode. Keep in mind this girl is only supposed to be around 14-15 years old or so.

How this passed the Nick censors is beyond me. Had Avatar actually been anime I'm sure this scene would have been censored in the dub. But since Avatar was an American cartoon they let it fly?

There was a girl in my class about her size at that age. She started developing at about 8 or 9. By that age she had to have been a D cup...then again I was too, not at 13, but at about maybe 16 or so...

So...she's in a bikini. What's the problem? Unless you're completely flat you're going to show cleavage which makes me wonder if you know anything about female anatomy. Also, speaking about stuff getting past censors, what about the Nick turtles having a blatant sex joke? I'm shocked THAT got past the censors than a girl on the beach in a bikini.

I just can't think of any other American cartoon with a teenage girl that well endowed. Look at April in Nick's TMNT, she's much smaller and so is every other girl in a cartoon. Even Starfire on Teen Titans whose comic counterpart is huge was modest in comparison.

The emphasis is on the lines of cleavage, that didn't even have to be drawn in.

Hm, I don't remember this. Which episode had a sex joke and what was it?

Ty Lee is wearing a bikini. Ty lee has a fit body
Fit body+ bikini =

also what about this??

and

*plastroncafe* · 09-18-2014, 10:14 PM

Fourteen year old girl has breasts, fic at 11.

But they do exist. Kids are hitting puberty earlier and earlier now. When I was assistant teaching at my former middle school, there were kids there as big as me. I mean this in a general sense. Boys with facial hair. Girls with curves resembling high school girls. It's just normal now. My younger cousins (two if them) were both well-endowed at that age too.

I still don't have a problem. Many girls in general who are in shape and confident wear bikinis. It's a realistic portrayal and no matter what top you wear, cleavage will be shown, unless you're an A-cup.

Unless the character is being sexualized or they're doing close ups of her boobs (or all girls), then I don't see what the prob is. The Nick Turtles zoom in on April's rear a lot. I should not be noticing that she has a Dragon Ball on her shorts. They show it so much and so often you can't help but wonder if one of the animators has a fetish.

*cues Sir-mix-alot's "Baby Got Back"*

I wonder if anyone has made an April fan video using that song.

Maybe shocked is too strong...maybe surprised is the better word.

The ep where Mikey made the "We're not that kind of sub" joke. The whole scene was awkward in a creepy way...well for me it was, but man did I love Leo's expression and Mikey's shocked look. lol

Also, earlier that ep, Donnie asked the guys, "Guess what April and I have been doing" or something like that, and everyone had that awkward silence. What was going through their minds. lol

*CyberCubed* · 09-19-2014, 11:16 AM

Continuing on, I watched the next two episodes. Another Katara/Toph bickering episode? Didn't these two settle their differences 20 episodes ago? I also can't believe they showed Katara taking a bath in the water under the bridge when her brother and Toph were talking. And she was obviously nude in that scene.

The blood bending episode was rather good. The lady being held in chains for decades and being fed through a contained like a filthy animal? This is like Nazi prison camps. I don't know why they arrested her at the end, she deserved a happy ending and to watch the fire people pay.

Katara blood bending should mean she's the most powerful bender in existence.

By the time you get to Korra, Katara's Blood bending would look like a joke!

*MrTMNT2012* · 09-19-2014, 11:34 AM

Also I love how where most people would notice Sokka's deep and heavy psychological development in that scene on the bridge, Cubed only notices naked Katara under the bridge.

You only get what you look out for. Too bad Cubed is looking for hentai in a Nickelodeon show!

*plastroncafe* · 09-19-2014, 11:38 AM

So he can EW GROSS! about it as he looks for more fanart online.

*CyberCubed* · 09-19-2014, 12:43 PM

Katara was also written very annoying in that episode. When did Katara become so motherly and bossy? She wasn't written like that earlier in the series, she used to be much more understanding and sisterly.

Also does anyone else prefer Aang with hair to his bald look? What put me off from watching the show for years was Aang's bald head. I just couldn't get into the cue-ball look, if Aang had hair in the beginning like he did now I might have followed the show back in 2005-2007 when it originally aired. I know Aang's design is based off a Tibet monk from real life, but I don't think having a bald-headed kid as the lead in a show was a good idea.

Holy sh*t. That last post. I wish stupidity was ban worthy.

*plastroncafe* · 09-19-2014, 03:39 PM

So it's not just breasts that are distracting, but bald heads too.
Interesting.

Katara has always acted motherly/bossy sister. If I remember Soka acknowledged her bossy tendency and blames the death of their mother as the reason.

I have to agree that lost post had me scratching my head.

Interesting.

Are you thinking what Im thinking?? Classic Freud symptoms

*MrTMNT2012* · 09-19-2014, 04:18 PM

SERIOUSLY?

Am I out of the loop or something? I mean I only joined this forum 2 years ago so I'm still a noob but CyberCubed IS joking, right?! Like, this is all meant to be an act like that one Shredder account, right?

There's no way anyone is THIS stupid, right? This is not even trolling anymore, this is just plain stupidity.

*CyberCubed* · 09-19-2014, 04:23 PM

I am watching Avatar for the first time, and posting my thoughts as I go. You guys have all finished and likely rewatched the show a few times, but to me I am taking it all in.

I'm surprised I'm almost at the end of the show. I have to say I'm glad this is a short series. There was quite a bit of filler in Season 1 I didn't care for, so I'm glad Seasons 2 and 3 weren't quite as bogged down with it.

I must say, I'm quite disappointed Ty Lee wasn't a "good guy" from the very beginning. She's more interesting than Suki was, and I would have prefered her simply be an Earth or Water tribe character instead of Fire Nation so we could see her more. I understand she's part of Azula's "femme fatale" or "birds of prey" but she doesn't get much screentime with them.

I also don't understand how Uncle could have grown a six pack in jail. He is starving and should be frail and malnourished. Even if he is doing excercizes I don't see how he can build himself up so much while barely eating as the guard throws his food on the floor.
