I've watched the cartoon from beginning to end, and it was very good. I have not seen the movie but thought it would be awful and from what I've heard, it was.
I've heard one of the things they removed were the Kyoshi warriors. In the cartoon, by coming to their island, the heroes learn a few things: Aang learns about a previous avatar (Avatar Kyoshi [a female]), and even though they are an all female warrior clan, they allow Sokka to train with them and he learns not to be sexist. One of them even becomes Sokka's girlfriend. I wonder if lightning bending, metal bending, and even blood bending will appear in one of the movies.
For anyone who has watched the movie, did they explain the cycle of Avatars (Earth - Fire - Air - Water)? Because Aang was from the air tribe, when he dies, the next Avatar will be born in the water tribe. The Avatar before Aang was from the fire tribe.
It is an asian cartoon but LMAO!!
Avatar the Last Airbender was created by two men working at Nickelodeon which makes it not an Asian cartoon.
