I loved pretty much every moment of it as not just grand entertainment, but as further proof that this show is doing things that no other TV show (let alone cartoon on Nickelodeon) would dream of doing. But even if that’s the case, tonight’s episode, the first of a two parter entitled “Civil War,” did a pretty phenomenal job of representing a pair of nations on the cusp of war. Granted, that’s just my speculation on the matter-for all I know this brewing Civil War between the Northern and Southern Water Tribe could end up running its course by the end of next episode. And it’s just as fantastic to see as The Last Airbender was. The Last Airbender was truly a show about a world dealing with a long, seemingly never ending war, and so far at least, this season of The Legend of Korra seems to be about the begins of a war that could be just as disastrous.
Aang and his little gang spent a lot of time traveling from place to place in the show’s run, and a lot of those little adventures focused on the way in which the Hundred Year War affected the normal everyday people, be it the repressed citizens of the Fire Nation or the vengeful and desperate gurilla warriors of Jet’s Freedom Fighters. The Last Airbender dealt with some pretty heavy, very adult themes, but one of the most interesting was the way in which war affects people. When Katara first uttered them during the opening to Avatar: The Last Airbender, one thing became very real-this show wasn’t just a fun little romp for kids on Nickelodeon. Those words have gone on to mean a lot of things, especially for hardcore fans. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.” And thus began one of the greatest TV shows I’ve ever had the chance to see in my entire life, Avatar: The Last Airbender. “Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony.
