This show proves that a kids show doesn’t have to be fluff Avatar the Last Air Bender is unanimously, among millennials and gen z alike to be one of if not the best cartoons on Nickelodeon. I was one of the pioneers of serialized “kids” cartoons. (I put kid in quotes because I believe that this show can be enjoyed at any age). It was 3 seasons of nonstop action and adventure, wonderful characters and was revolutionary for the time. Today we are here to gush about our favorite moments and talk about it’s future.
