History WesternAnimation / AvatarTheLastAirBender

A SequelSeries, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', premiered April 14, 2012. The new series takes place seventy years after ''Avatar'' and focuses on the next Avatar, a hotheaded waterbender named Korra -- while learning airbending from Aang's son Tenzin, Korra finds herself in Republic City, a {{steampunk}} metropolis in the former colonies which suffers from rampant crime and an anti-bender revolt.

Nickelodeon has also released a digest graphic novel called ''The Lost Adventures'' (which includes the out of print {{expanded universe}} strips) and is releasing a graphic novel trilogy in 2012 called ''[[AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'', which details the Gaang's rebuilding of the world as a bridge to ''Korra''; both of these projects are being published by DarkHorseComics.

Also known as ''Avatar: The Legend of Aang'' in some countries. ''Avatar'' takes place in a ConstructedWorld divided into four nations: [[EskimoLand the Water Tribes]], [[TheKingdom the Earth Kingdom]], [[TheEmpire the Fire Nation]], and [[PerfectPacifistPeople the Air Nomads]]. Each nation has created a fighting style to control ("bend") their namesake element, but only the Avatar -- one person reincarnated into each race in turn -- is capable of mastering all of the elements. The Avatar's role is to serve as a peacekeeper and protector for all four nations (as well as bridging and balancing the physical and spiritual worlds).

Aang has thankfully found himself in good company with waterbender Katara and her brother Sokka, who were the ones who freed Aang from the iceberg. As the trio works to save the four nations, they gain more allies; take a look at the Character Sheet to get to know more about the characters.

The show's story centers [[TheHero the Airbender Aang]], a twelve-year old ([[HumanPopsicle chronologically 112]]) who is the most recent incarnation of the Avatar, and his quest to master the four bending arts so that he can save the world from [[EvilOverlord Fire Lord Ozai]] and end [[EarthIsABattlefield the century-long war]] that he spent a hundred years [[HumanPopsicle trapped in an iceberg]] accidentally avoiding. Ozai's plans for domination are on a specific timetable, though, meaning that Aang [[RaceAgainstTheClock has until the end of summer to stop them.]]

The first season has been adapted into a live-action film directed by MNightShyamalan -- ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' -- which is the second [[TheSixthSense Shyamalan film]] to be inspired by [[AreYouAfraidOfTheDark a Nickelodeon show]]. It is intended to be the first season in movie form, with the hope that they can make a pair of sequels based on the other two seasons. The film was not generally well-received, nor is it a good entry point for new viewers - watch it after the show, or not at all.
