Why is Avatar: The Last Airbender so overrated?

Katara a shit. Sokka's jokes are not funny. Aang is not MANLY enough. Toph is too much of a tomboy. Fire Lord Ozai is a shit antagonist, and so is Zhao. Long Feng was a poorly written villain. Zuko is a shitty emo teenager. Azula is a shitty yandere bitch with no real motivations for being "evil" or doing "evil stuff". Ty Lee a stupid bimbo ho'. Appa is an annoying piece of fur. Momo is NOT cute.
Iroh is the only good character in the entire series.
The Legend of Korra is filled with all of Avatar: The Last Airbender's flaws, and multiplied by 10. All of that shipping wars/love triangle shit was already there back in 2006. Anybody remember Zutara and Tyzula?

Its faux anime. Even a middleground actual anime is leagues better thn avatar. Its just that western standards are that low.

Sure, OP. Whatever you say. ^_^

This but with the addition it has some of the best fight scenes western animation and deep lore.

Bump

It doesn't matter if ATLA is good by American cartoon standards, if it doesn't actually rank as high up by world standards in comparison to the kind of stuff it imitates (namely, martial arts shounen manga like Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure).

Much of the hype comes from people being amazed by a westernized serial action cartoon. I recall back in 2006, so many people were going loopy that a show like this could possibly be on Nick. Now nostalgia plays a factor. A lot of the poor storyline development has been forgotten. The entire third season is one huge disappointment. The first season is full of boring episodes. You have to praise the second season for its boldness in the finale. The third season threw that all away.

It's Sup Forums's favorite excuse to watch superior anime.

Here's your (You) OP.

>Now nostalgia plays a factor.

But I watched it for the first time last year all in one go and I absolutely loved it.

It has its charms.

Its still better than Korra.

What is the worst episode and why is it The Divide?

I don't know, user. Why was it The Great Divide and not The Painted Lady, The Fortuneteller, Bato of the Southern Water Tribe, Avatar Day, or The Cave of Two Lovers? Why was it The Great Divide even though other episodes were more flawed and more boring?

Because only The Divide had no bearing on any following episode.

How does it feel to have LITERAL shit taste?
> Sokka's jokes are not funny
> When Wang Fire exist.
Get the fuck out.

Why did the ending suck?

>Iroh is the only good character in the entire series.
At least you got a single thing right.

Divide was a set-up for one shitty joke

It was filler (but then again if Sokka got a love interest in that ep and not in "The Warriors of Kyoshi" opinions would be a lot different)

It was probably the first Pseudo-anime to actually have effort put into it

Season 2 is goat

The joke was about how bad and pointless it was.

It's an ouroboros of shit.

Omedetou gozaimasu! I first watched Avatar: The Last Airbender back when I was a little kid 11 years ago. If I had not watched it back when I was a kid, I would have never watched it at all.

Western animation is flooded with shit, so it shines by comparison. It's a good show, but it's not that good.

If somebody in Japan took ATLA's script, translated it to Japanese, and then made an exact replica of Avatar: The Last Airbender, do you think that Sup Forums would like it? Or would they go all Sword Art Online on it and criticize the fuck out of it?

le epin anime meme

You're more likely to find a good cartoon than a good anime. Shows like Legion of Superheroes and Batman: The Brave and the Bold are far superior to the vast majority of anime.

So what? Amerikanskiy cartoonz don't have cute bug-eyed girls that I can masturbate to desu~

>characters fight by doing silly dances
>best fight scenes

Korrafag detected.

(OP here)
The Legend of Whorra is just as much of a bad animated TV series as ATLA, but lots of other people have already criticized it, so I won't do it.

I never thought how good atla would work as shitpost bait on Sup Forums, I know what I must do.

Iroh's a walking cliché.

Yeah. Go find ATLA, dubbed into Japanese, and then post it on Sup Forums.
Let's see what they might say.

>Sup Forums only likes dick jokes when AtlA does it

>That time Sup Forums fooled Sup Forums into thinking Avatar was an anime from Japan dubbed by 4kids.

>Naruto

It's leagues beyond that shit fest

What really? How clueless can they be?

So far other then people saying my thread is obvious bait they're saying compliments on atla.

May you please give me the thread number?

Deleted and banned for a day, lol.

I guess we forgot to tell you that the Mods on Sup Forums are registered fags.

You mean the mods actually do their job?

They don't mind threads with hentai and stuff like that, but they won't tolerate any non-Sup Forums content, or any shitposting (unless it's Keit-Ai posting).

No fun allowed.

50% of all threads on Sup Forums are stuff like "Post best Keion", "Why are the Yurus so lewd?", "Delicious flat chests vs cowtits", "So why exactly does Sup Forums hate Sword Art Online again?", "I want to bully Renge's womb", "I'm going to post this everyday until you like it", "Why is Chinatsu so shit? She ruined the whole episode.", or "I want to touch Yui's delicious thighs"
The other 50% is seasonal anime shit.
What's more fun, Sup Forums or Sup Forums?

>try to make athread for a older but pretty well known anime
>"no one wants to talk about this, it been discussed to death"
>see 50 waifu threads in the catalog

Which anime did you try to talk about? Toonami and Adult Swim stuff is, for the most part, a no-no on Sup Forums. You might be able to get away with something like Black Lagoon or Steins;Gate, especially if you post lewds.

You are absolutely correct OP. I cannot believe either Avatar show gets any praise at all. The first season of TLA is too cringe-inducing to even watch. The second is closest both series comes to being okay, then the third takes a shit on it with its ending. One deus ex machina is shit enough, several over the course of both TLA and Korra is fucking inexcusable.

I was trying to get a thread on leiji matsumoto stuff (captain harlock and galaxy express 999).

I don't know if you're being dead-serious, or if you're trying to be sarcastic. I think it's the latter.
I hate the way Sup Forums treats Avatar: The Last Airbender like some sort of masterpiece, and then bashes the fuck out of The Legend of Korra and anime as a whole. The reason why I created this thread is because I wanted to see what would Sup Forums think of somebody who bashes ATLA the way most of them bash TLOK, and I wanted to see if there was anybody here in this board who could think of Avatar: The Last Airbender as anything other than "the best cartoon ever made in America". I like Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I do not think that it is perfect or flawless, and I want other people to stop thinking that way. I want other people to see that ATLA is just as flawed as TLOK.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a kids' cartoon, and it does not step beyond previously-touched territory in its domain. It's not Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Hunter x Hunter (2011). It's just a fuckin' kids' cartoon.

Most of Sup Forums is more into moe slice of life anime than late '70s sci-fi anime.

it had its moments.
i dont know what happened after earth book, but the quality dropped a lot while also giving us great episode, its a really inconsistent series.

and first book is not bad, is just meh.

One thing I will say is I feel season 2 as whole of korra was much worse then anything in atla, also I personally how romance was such a few aspect in the storyline. I don't feel korra was that bad, at its best it was really fucking good, I feel though it was not as consistent as atla and at its worst it was pretty bad. As someone who can say atla is their favorite cartoon I admit it has flaws and some shitty episodes, season 1 has quite a lot of filler that going back to is dreadful, however I still feel it personally was better then korra.

Meant to say I hate how romance is a important aspect of korra.

I don't like it, it has silly action and characters, people like this cartoon because it has an overarching plot, and that's rare on western cartoons. But that's not enough for me.

This nigga got it.
What is your favourite animated television series?

(if any)?

Seasons 1-10 of The Simpsons.

ATLA isn't "perfect", just like fucking everything on the God damn planet. Just because "Sup Forums doesn't hate on ATLA as much as Korra" doesn't mean the original was perfect, it means from what the original brought to the table, Korra absolutely fucked it up with what they ended up with, primarily the fucking lesbo shit in the end that had no real correlation to exist the way it was brought up. That's why, among other reasons.
God I hate whiny fucks like yourself. You should have a God damn understanding on why Sup Forums likes x more than y, but you shouldn't fucking bitch about it like the fucker you are. It's fucking stupid. No matter what you say, the original to many brought something nice and comfy to watch and enjoy, while it's sequel fucks up in so many departments, it just ruins any love for its positives it may have and in turn, enhances the love of the original more so, essentially "overrates" the original. It's happened to so many things, yet faggots like you don't understand this.

>It's just a fuckin' kids' cartoon.
This isn't a phrase that I should ever have to see on the cartoon board.

This is Sup Forums, Sup Forums's comics and cartoons board. If you wanna make a thread about either one of those topics, do it here, no matter what it might be.
I wanted to make a thread about an American kids' cartoon, so I did it here because there's no other place on this website where I could do it. Sup Forums doesn't allow Western animation. Sup Forums doesn't give a fuck about ATLA. Sup Forums and /r9k/ are only for shitposting. /aco/ is for cartoon porn only. Sup Forums is the only right place for this thread. It doesn't matter if I say anything that the consensus doesn't approve of, as long as I stay on topic and don't break any of the rules. Kids' cartoons are for kids and immature adults.

>I don't like it, it has silly action and characters
Seasons 1-10 of The Simpsons.
Do I sense some irony here?
This is exactly what I wanted to find. Mission complete.

>Aang is not MANLY enough
But.. he's a monk? A 12 year old monk at that.

This.
That is false.
True.
Tiny Toons/Animaniacs (tied)

I didn't think I'd need to bring this picture up...
Monk, driller, mecha, martial arts, it's all the same Japaneesy shit to me.

(me again)
I'm gonna answer my own question just for the sake of not being left out.
Japanese: Neon Genesis Evangelion, tied with Death Note
American: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Note: the only reason why I put down ATLA is because I have never watched any serious American adults' animated television series.

ATLA is supposed to be a serious cartoon, it has comedic situations but is a serious cartoon overall, however whenever the cartoon tried to be serious, it was silly with all those action sequences that where supposed to be cool or that Deus Ex Machina. Or the romance.

The Simpsons is silly and fun and the first seasons managed to do that pretty well and it was good at what it was meant to be.

Avatar has more comical moments than serious ones

What about Dick... Grayson?

Well I didn't find them very funny.

No, I think it's about the same, but there's a lot of serious moments that get horribly ruined by misplaced humour.

Trying too hard.

That's why I prefer family grade entretainment, something for everyone, and ATLA did that pretty fucking well.

Season 1 was rocky. They built a good world which was always this show's strong suit, but people forget how bland a lot of the plots were. A lame amount of trope episodes and a lot of the characters were pretty flat. It wasn't until season 2 that they gave the characters a decent deal more dimensions to them and raise the stakes of the plot.

>Being butthurt enough about the opinion of complete strangers about Korra that you try (and fail) to bring the same sentiment to ATLA.

ATLA wasn't perfect, but it was good as a whole, Korra just kept shiting the bed during its entire run, and nothing you say will ever change that.

Everything after The Storm is solid in book 1.

>Too much tomboy
Are you gay? You cant never be too much tomboy.

You didn't get the fucking point, did you? ATLA's original target demographic was 9 to 13-year old kids. Then a bunch of edgy pseudo-otaku teenagers and college students started watching ATLA and gave birth to all of that dirty fanart and fanfiction that we know the Avatar fanbase for. Later on, those same kids who used to watch ATLA grew up and became teenagers around the same time that TLOK started airing.
I repeat, ATLA and TLOK are not family-grade entertainment. They're not the kind of stuff that you'd wanna watch with the rest of your family, and neither is stuff like Ren and Stimpy or some other old Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network cartoons. Who the fuck would watch stuff like Naruto and Bleach with the rest of their family?

I don't like tomboys. I like girly girls, traps, and futanari.

Daily reminder that overrated does not mean bad.

Overrated is not automatically equal to bad, but the two terms may sometimes overlap.

Technically, Hideyoshi isn't a trap or a futinari because of his preferred male gender identity corresponding to his gender of birth, I think the common term for him is "genderfucked".
But I could be wrong.

In fact, one could say overrated doesn't mean anything at all.

Superman 64 is the best game of all time. Bam, it's overrated as fuck. We should just have opinions on things, not the opinions of people with opinions on things.

>he thinks target demographic means fuck all.

cute.

Nigga, you seems to think that your opinion is a fact, when it is pretty much faggotory.

fuck you mate

tyzula is canon

You essentially have very shit taste if your idea of "girl" is that stereotype bullshit.
> traps
Annnd fucking gay now. GTFO.

You just lost any credibilitty OP.

Everyone in this thread can fuck right off.

Avatar is unironically the single best cartoon in existence.

I still cringe at the tike we watched naruto with my parents. I was 12 or something and we were all garhered around the tv at 11:00 at night because naruto didn't play during daytime television. It was episode of sasuke leaving the village and we got to sit there for 30 min and listen to sakura's awkward and tearful plea for sasuke not to leave the village. While our parents watched with us.

Those "silly" dances are actualy Chinese martial arts, like the very basis of the show is based off of.

Sure, most of what the martial arts they use is impractical in a real fight, but that's why it's used for bending.

I never wanted anybody to take this thread seriously. I just wanted to do some b8 and ignite some flames, and now I'm revealing everything about me and myself, including the fact that I masturbate to lolis and traps.
Please leave immediately. You may take all of your belongings (including your shit taste and fangirlness) with you.

I'm OP, and I'm here to reveal which posts did I do (in case you couldn't guess all of them):

Shut the fuck up, Famicom
