Some Traditions should stay...

like the way they used to make cartoons. In my young days, there were some great cartoons. In fact they even ran after I stopped watching, but unfortunately most of them got cancelled, and if they stayed they were changed. When I was young Pokémon was the coolest thing ever (though I never got into the trading card thing.) and back then it was a pretty good cartoon, along with Digimon , which was better, because it had good vs. evil at a bigger scale, as well as the issue of saving the world. However, now the only cartoon I could watch without pointing out flaws was Spongebob Squarepants, and of course the Simpsons (but that's more like an animated sitcom, not a cartoon). Spongebob Squarepants was the greatest cartoons because of its comedy and its lessons, along with the way it was told. Though this blog isn't about Spongebob Squarepants, it's about Avatar: The Last Airbender...

Nickelodeon finally did something right after all, a cartoon with this possibility of greatness, hasn't come along in a long time. The story is based of 4 types of people, each type based on Aristotle's four elements (Actually Aristotle had five elements, but Aether is only in space and in the heavens) . There is the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribe, the Fire Nation and the Air Nomads. The conflict began when the Fire Nation attacked the other three nations. Now Aang (the main character), the Avatar and the Last Airbender, has to save the world.

Now all of you are thinking, "that's great but what is an Airbender?" Well Airbender's are sort of warriors, to fight they bend the air and control it to attack their enemies or defend themselves. Now there are also Waterbenders, Earthbenders, and Firebenders, each controlling their own element. Aang on the other hand has to master all four types of bending, to become an Avatar and save the world.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is a very interesting show with great comedy, I have laughed out loud so many times while watching this show, it is hilarious. I recommend you all try to see it. I bet Nickelodeon is running re-runs of the show, and the new episodes start in September. So try to get into it and enjoy... I know I did.
