Hate those fun facts though. SUPER distracting, and usually nonsense.

Jesus Christ, that's forced.

Very similar to pop up video, used to watch before school, was late late night VH1, I caught the bus at 5:45am. These words make me feel old

I’ll just leave this here.

As a Cub Scout leader, can confirm. No fear, inquisitive and smart, plus they question arbitrary rules. I’m not supposed to favour anyone...

If by girlfriend you mean the girl who was promised to mary another guy, whom Soka had a crush on for like two days.

My great grandfather proposed to my great grandmother the night they met, they were married for 60 years.

She pretty clearly reciprocated his interest. It was a whirlwind thing, yeah, but there were sparks there.

Toph: “She turned into the fucking what?”

What do you mean there's a big rock in the sky? I'm going to bend it.

Reminds me of an episode of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT when a character used Ron Howard as an insult... (1/2)

The Narrator (Ron Howard): "(Character) is now officially on thin ice."

who are you? the avatars fan girls?

Watching this show made me want to have kids so I could have them watch it
GreenTeaParty
donate their blue rays to a community center or library. Most won't use but for that kid who does, think about how cool.
ProbablyPoe
I would, but sadly I watched it on Netflix
crusadurus
I remember re watching it with those back when it was airing on TV. some were fun.
bigblindguy
Untrue. Little Girls cannot do anything they put their minds to, they are limited by the same physical realities as everyone else.

Zuko had to grow out of being an asshole.

I mean not really no matter how hard a little girl tries they can’t jump 100 feet straight up unassisted no matter how hard you try 1/2

I've seen a few episodes with those fun facts. favorite that I recall: "The spider-fly is the most conflicted of the Avatar animal hybrids"
TrustNotTreeBone
They confirmed that Jet did indeed die (when Zuko asks while watching the Ember Island Players)

Toph will forever be one of my favorite characters of any media! She's such a badass that put anybody in their place if they crossed her.

I feel like it should be zukko next and then sokka all quenchy

amazing but also Sokka got stiffed

Sokka is indeed a little girl who can do anything she puts her mind to

This sounds like something Suki would say.

Good man
IAmAGoldenGOD
For all its perceived sexism, this show does a WHOLE LOT to dispel the idea of gender inequality. Usually dealing with the sexist ->
GreenTeaParty
I think Avatar did a good job of making every sexist look ridiculous and learn their lesson, like Soka, he starts by underestimating K
GreenTeaParty
But then every woman in his life ends up being stronger then him at fighting, and his strength is his heart and humor.
eadanke
Where would you even find the sort of nut job who would call Avatar sexist? I don't think I've ever heard that.
PedestrianElectrobastard

IAmAGoldenGOD
@vegivamp did a good job of summarizing this: it has to have sexism for it to dispel that sexism. Some people seem to focus only on the have
sturmhauke
I mean yeah, it's kind of hard to talk critically about something if you try to brush it under the rug at the same time.
IAmAGoldenGOD
They actively talk about sexism in the show... what are you talking about?
sturmhauke
I meant that these detractors are being dumb for complaining that some characters are sexist. They're missing the point.
IAmAGoldenGOD
-> characters themselves. Soka is dealt with often, Zuko the same and even Pakku gets a lesson. Despite being old AF.
IAmAGoldenGOD
Along with that, the female characters are often the most powerful. Katara, Toph, Azula +friends, Hama, June to name a few.
IAmAGoldenGOD
And then there’s The legend of Korra.
GadenKerensky
Katara is probably one of the most dangerous characters in the show. The only thing holding her back is she doesn't have a violent heart.
IAmAGoldenGOD
Judging by how bloodbending is perceived in TLOK, she is bar FAR the most dangerous player in the game. Even without it she is hardcore.
bluemagister
If I recall, blood-bending was a rare thing, not just ability wise but when one could do it as well.
IAmAGoldenGOD
Plus, she can heal your broken ass if she needs too, and not only that, SHE IS THE WELL KNOWN BEST AT IT.
Callistan
Zuko is legitimately afraid of her in the AtLA episode "The Southern Raiders".
Kelerain
AtLA has perceived sexism? Doesn't it consistently portray people who make judements based on gender as being in the wrong?
IAmAGoldenGOD
My point exactly. If you were to see only segments, you would think that sexism is a theme, See above, Sokka, etc. But it proves it wrong
GadenKerensky
I do seem to recall Katara call Sokka sexist, and him acting like a dick to the Kyoshi Warriors. Of course, they promptly humiliate him.
LoTRFanatic42
Yeah that part of his personality doesn't last long, fortunately.
vegivamp
It has to have sexism for it to dispel that sexism. Some people seem to focus only on the have.
DangerTrain
That's literally nonsense. You only need it that way if the writing is clumsy and you need to say "sexism bad!" in a literal sense.
07116522718
You'd have to be a complete idiot to think that's sexism. It's like saying a inglorious bastards is anti semitic.
Ulthirm
A lot of these people don't actually watch the show. They see the initial scene with Sokka and their immediate bias begins to filter out the
Ulthirm
rest of the development.
Gremlynn4023
Nickelodeon was heavily against a female action lead for Legend of Korra and the team was like "fuck you, we're doing it anyway"
iamthekmac
I like that attitude!
DangerTrain
LoK had better animation than it had writing. Whoever was there checking the bad ideas and adding the little magic left between shows.
DangerTrain
That show ended with a GIANT ROBOT and KAIJU BATTLES and the characters were all pretty selfish and shallow, compared to ATLA.
PedestrianElectrobastard
Probably not the best example if you're pro that sort of thing.
DarkBusterBaron
I agree the show had awful writing especially compared to avatar. https://youtu.be/QhS4a11jZOg
BaelKor
Good choice of video.
DarkBusterBaron
The title is not that great but the guy actually has legitimate criticisms.
Gremlynn4023
Yo you wanna take this outside?
DangerTrain
Is there a universe where LoK was a good show outside?
LoTRFanatic42
The team also wanted to make Korra gay from the start, and Nickelodeon said, "Fuck you. You're not doing that."
LoTRFanatic42
In the series finale though, the team said, "Fuck you, we're doing it anyways."
JanglesPrime
Did they intend to make her gay or bisexual? I actually laugh a little think that she has dated all of her closest friends. Even though it
JanglesPrime
It was only the one time with Bolin.
LoTRFanatic42
As far as I know, they wanted her to be a lesbian, but since Nick forced heterosexual relationships, she ended up bi.
JanglesPrime
Why would they be against it? It's not like it was the first show to do it?
Treius
Shows and their merch are divided between boys shows and girls shows, anything that crosses over is seen as cannibalizing other shows sales
Grifter9000
Avatar was a cultural touchstone in my generation for years, and they just now committed to continuing it. Stupid executive decisions.
GadenKerensky
Because not everyone in a management position is either smart of unbiased. Just learn about Ubisoft's leadership. Really fucked stuff.
Gremlynn4023
Not the first, but it predates Katniss Fever by a bit, and it was rare for kid's shows.
JanglesPrime
See, I guess I was a weird one because I didn't really think of as having lead characters. I thought more about good guys and bad guys.
JanglesPrime
Even with Superman TAS I thought Lois and Jimmy and Kara were just as important.
bluemagister
"Important" sure. But you're right in that people (kids especially) don't "see" marketing and propaganda, but that's why it's effective.
JanglesPrime
That's kinda opposite they point I was making.
RealScienceMan
Essentially it's the idea that the main income from children's shows is branded merchandise and marketing is highly targeted.
RealScienceMan
They then go with boys like action more and boys are more likely to want merchandise with a boy on it.
boblives
Anything on Cartoon network that gets canceled is because the merch was selling, Megas XLR, symbiotic titan stuff like that
morelikeconsham
Yep. Quality of entertainment is totally irrelevant to nickelodeon execs. That's not the point of their channel.
