Throughout four episodes, we see Aang become the person that he needs to be to defeat Ozai and witness the ultimate redemption of one of the show's original villains, Prince Zuko ( Dante Basco). This story of epic proportions culminated in a four-part finale titled "Sozin's Comet", released in 2008. With the help of his newfound friends, he must learn to control his powers and put an end to Fire Lord Ozai's ( Mark Hamill) reign of terror. A century later, he reemerges, frozen in an iceberg. But, just as the Fire Nation is preparing to engulf the world in a war, the Avatar disappears. In a universe populated by firebenders, waterbenders, airbenders, and earthbenders, this untapped power makes him the Avatar: the person responsible for keeping the balance between nations. Add to that a cast of enthralling characters and some seriously great animation, and you have a series that will live forever in the hearts and minds of viewers all over the world.Īvatar: The Last Airbender tells the story of Aang, a young boy that discovers that he can master all four elements. It does so from a child's perspective, but never in a way that sounds silly or condescending. Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a show that deals with topics such as war, colonialism, and resistance. More importantly, we are still pondering on the series' themes.


And yet, here we are, nearly 20 years, three seasons, one spin-off, and a bunch of comics later, still reliving the adventures of Avatar Aang ( Zach Tyler Eisen) and his friends. At the time, there was no telling that this Nickelodeon kids' show would soon become one of the greatest fantasy series ever made. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked." With these words, viewers were first introduced to the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, all the way back in 2005. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
