Chosen by premium patron ToonJay, it's time for us to cover one of the most influential animated series of the last 20 years, Avatar: The Last Airbender! When it debuted on Nick in 2005, it introduced a whole generation of kids to anime-style action, a lore-filled linear adventure, and enough ships to drown the internet. All that, plus a discussion of a fan-favorite story that's full of pro wrestling references. So grab a cabbage and listen!

As a dork-ass with too much knowledge of Pokémon I’m glad Henry pointed out that Rock beats Flying type.

I wanna thank you guys for both finally covering an important show to me, showing some critical thinking skills in not assuming the worst from headlines on the live action Avatar and most of all, not goofing on the shippers, as notorious as we can be. Hope you return to the show to talk about Zuko someday!

For anybody who has not seen this series (my self included) it is now available (in the U.K. at least ) as a pop up channel on Pluto tv

Fun question: what’s your fav ship if you had to pick one? I was always really bothered by Katara and Aang ending up together since she was not into him originally. Weird message for little boys imo… “No means no?” More like wait and weigh her down when you’re powerful enough

If Griffen Newman did the Avatar movie, theyd still be trying to get though filming while Griffen talks to everyone on set about how much more he knows about the subject of Avatar and the same antecdote over and over.

In re: the strangely apologetic tone for the excellent cast...isn't this set in a fictional kingdom? If so, who's to say what exact races the actors should be providing voices of the vaguely Asian characters? Is Filipino ok? Chinese? Laotian? Nepalese? And what of the Water Tribe? Just exactly what native tribe would suffice? And should Toph be voiced by a blind actor only? I appreciate you guys trying to be sensitive, but representational casting is a very slippery slope and paints with a pretty broad brush that can feel racist itself when viewed from certain angles. ('Asian' of any kind will fit the bill, for instance. I know many Japanese who would be offended to be played by a Chinese actor.) How about we just enjoy the fantasy story as it has been provided by the artists without dragging it into the mundane real world.

I'm not looking to do a 23 and Me on the cast of Avatar, but it would be nice to give non-white actors opportunities to play characters wholly based on non-white cultures. No need to play devil's advocate here.
