In about three weeks, I watched all of Avatar: the Last Airbender, and Avatar: the Legend of Korra... and read three of the interquel graphic novels (The Promise, The Search & The Rift).
And strangely, given my hobbies and general maturity, despite being a Briton, the constant use of the word "bender" didn't have me tittering every other microsecond.
In general, AtLA was a superior all rounded package, but I felt that LoK had much more potential... crocked by Nick's corporate meddling that didn't allow some characters to develop properly, the really inappropriate themes (for a kid's show... I mean seriously, whose bright (and it really was, given how well it was portrayed) idea was it to put a horridly well-thought terrorist attack on screen... and are kids supposed to grasp luck egalitarianism(?!), never mind PTSD) that didn't manage to bring their full impact or for certain subplots to reach a sufficient or fitting conclusion. But eh... I enjoyed them both... a lot...
That is all... -__-
