1. Nothing wrong enjoying good storytelling. Cartoons can be awesome.
2. Don't watch the movie. It really is as awful as everyone says, and is very much a FU to fans of the cartoon.

Don't be embarrassed since like 20 posters on the M/TV board have watched the series and greatly enjoyed it. The good news is Season 1 is the worst season and it only gets better, but to say its the worst season isn't saying much since it is such a good series. The characters are extremely well developed and feel like real people in a ridiculous world. It executes the Hero's Journey almost perfectly (and for multiple characters), and the fight scenes are great as well. They are also making a sequel series about the Avatar after Aang which should be good, and supposedly it will be much more mature than this series was.

And the film is a complete abomination. Everything you enjoyed about the show is completely sucked out. Unless you want to be infuriated, I would advise against watching it.

It gets much better as you get further into it. I felt a little foolish for watching and couldn't get into it after the first 7 or 8 episodes. It quickly won me over though. It's a great series.

The cartoon is great, just like others have said. The movie should be literally shoved up M. Nights arse.

100% true on both counts. I must have watched every episode at least half a dozen times at this point and it is easily one of the best animated series I have ever seen. The movie deserves to be burned to ashes and spread to the wind.

And can't wait for the new mini-series they're developing for Avatar (The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra) that's due out in 2012. Should be amazing.

Everything Landshark says is 100% accurate.

And the cartoon is the best cartoon I've ever seen. Don't be ashamed.

Why'd you have to go and say that. While what he said is correct there is no need to stroke his ego, it's big enough already. Just don;t ask him about Lost.
