Does Avatar: The Last Airbender get better? - Page 8

So after all this time of ignoring the show I couldn't take the hype online so I finally decided to break down and watch it, with the intention of watching Korra after it.

I only watched the first two episodes so far. Overall, the show is much more lighter in tone than I expected. It almost seems like a kiddie show, with the characters having fun slapstick fights with each other instead of serious fighting. Aang seems like Goku only stupider, and Katara is the typical girl protagonist you see in a million other shows. The fights (at least in the first two episodes) were silly with character poking each other with sticks and making anime expressions when they got hit instead of showing serious damage or being hurt in any way.

It almost reminds me of Teen Titans, just not as funny. I thought this show was more along the lines of Gargoyles and Young Justice? Does the tone/story of the show pick up, or does it remain like it is in the first two episodes? Also I hate the fact that "shipping" has reeked its ugly head already in the first two episodes, with Katara teased about Aang being her boyfriend. Shipping...ALREADY, in the first two episodes. Ugh, guess it gives those girls on tumblr something to post 10 page rants about.
