Avatar The Last Airbender - The Cartoon That Will Save The World

Listen Later

Avatar The Last Airbender is on paper a kids cartoon show... but it's also so much more than that.

Over three seasons it tells a story that is poignant, thrilling, funny and - above all - hopeful. Pretty good timing of Netflix to get it onto their service in 2020, just when we all needed a dose of positivity.

Hear all about this amazing show, including:

  • A redemption story that beats even Kylo Ren.
  • Uncle Iroh's life lessons.
  • Kickass female characters.
  • What kind of bender Katie and Alex would each love to be... but what they probably are instead.
  • Why the live-action movie sucked so badly.

    • BTWs include:

    • The Aristotelian world view
    • Whatever happened to M. Night Shyamalan?
    • The concept of redemption and the tragic story of an Amish school shooting.
    • Avatar sightings at the recent Olympic games in Tokyo.

      • And yes, we do end up ragging on Game of Thrones. Again.
