... and therefore you should watch it!

Once again I had been staring at my computer screens for half an hour before I decided what to write about. Yeah, I don't get that many great ideas these days. Either way I thought to myself: "Now Sille, remember, you have to watch the next episode of The Legend of Korra today." and then it me - I'll write about the show! Well actually no, I won't. I'll write why should watch the first series Avatar: The Last Airbender since I like it more than Legend of Korra (that show hasn't caught my attention yet but I'm still hoping). So here's a few reasons why you should watch Avatar (and why I love the show, eh)!

Let's begin with the plot: In this world the four elements fire, water, earth and air live peacefully together. Some people can control the elements and they're called benders. But the peace only lasted until the day the fire nation attacked the air nation and hell broke loose. The only person who could stop this madness was the Avatar, the only master of all four elements. But he disappeared the day he was needed most. A hundred yes later Katara and Sokka, sister and brother, finds the Avatar Aang inside and ice bloke.

The rumour of the Avatar's return spreads and Aang, who hasn't completed his Avatar training yet and can therefore only bend air, is in great danger when the fire nation's prince Zuko tries to track him down and kill him to win back his honour. See that is the greatest beginning of a show ever. Yes, only the beginning! I could talk forever about the plot because it's amazing and very original. But now to the characters!

First of all I adore the characters in Avatar. I'm sure of that anyone in the entire would be able to find at least one character in the show that they'd fall in love with. For example we've got Sokka, one of the only main characters who can't bend but simply run around with his boomerang and sword while having the surplus to cheer up everyone. Yes, he's one of my favourites, for some reason I always fall for the kinda useless and amusing characters in TV-shows I really can't help it. Oh and don't get me started on Toph, a blind earth-bending girl who can kick your butt in less than a split second.

So did I forget anything? Yes! Watch it! You won't regret it and if you do, well, at least I convinced you to try. Oh and by the way don't watch the movie, it can't be compared to the show. The movie sucks, I'm sorry to say it, but that's the truth. Stick with the TV-show and you'll be juuuust fine.

Sille is out!
