If you don't know I am a christain And recently I have been getting into avatar the last air bender. I have been watching it a lot and etting really in to it. But I am starting to think that it might be a bit evil. Considering that the element bending uses chiness martail arts I thiink that is evil. And the fact that the charactes are using a form of magic. Also, the fire nation are really evil. I think that their capacity for evil is very big for a children's show.
Does anyone get what I am trying to say? If anyone else here think that I have a point please say something.
What a coincidence! I have been getting into Avatar too, lately (that is part of the reason why I haven't been on PokeBeach). As far as it being demonic, I completely disagree with you. Avatar: the Last Airbender is a beautifully-written show that teaches about love, friendship, family, and several other themes. I am also a Christian, but I view Avatar's use of Chinese martial arts as a way of teaching about other cultures. Avatar may look a little violent, but have you actually seen blood in the show? Martail arts as a form of magic? "Magic" is used in several other shows, including Christian stories like
The Chronicles of Narnia. A few characters die in "Avatar" (like Jet and Admiral Zhao), but the writers never announce it directly. I personally think that Avatar is the most developed (in both character and plot) and most well thought-out show on Nickelodeon.
