43. I feel that way about Sponge Bob. ( Well, I don't lose respect for them. I just smile, chuckle, and shake my head. )

The first episode of Avatar I had ever seen was pretty dark. When I realized I had stopped on Nickelodeon, I seriously was like "WTF? Why is a show like this one a this channel?"

There is a lot of interesting themes and twists in the show that would appeal to an older crowd. The world is amazing and I enjoy the concept. I'm also a 2D whore and love the artwork and finally?

The kids are actually selfish little brats like they should be. I get sick of watching movies or cartoons, even if they are aimed towards my age group and above, and watch all these little kids be so selfless, perfect, and brave. These kids actually ARE childish sometimes and that makes them seem more real than others in movies or television shows you might feel are more "appropriate" for the 20-something crowd.

Yes! You nailed all the reasons I like the show, but especially because the children are actual people. Aang can be all serene and monk-like, but the next second, he's a twelve-year-old boy, being a typical twelve-year-old boy. All of the main characters have such rounded, realistic personalities!

And oh man, the animation is drool-worthy. I mean, the fight scenes, the dance scene (I spazed that they actually remembered that--hey, people sweat when they dance!), the body language. Gorgeous!

Too bad we can't like it to be taken seriously by 43 OP...

I don't think selfish little brats are very good role models for a show aimed at kids, realistic or not. :/ Not all kids talk the way they do.

I never said that I thought this show was a good show for children. That wasn't my point at all. It was about why I find it appealing as a 23-year-old.

If I had a child under the age of 9, I wouldn't want them watching this show with an episode about controlling people through "blood bending". At least, not until I could have a talk with them about certain issues and better explain what was going on.

The kids in the show are selfish in different ways. Most people are selfish in some way. Children are more often than adults. ( Though I know that isn't always true. )

Example: I was delighted to see Aang choose Katara over mastering the Avatar State. If he was completely selfless, was the perfect "super hero", he would have chosen to master the Avatar State knowing that that option would not only be better for Katara, but better for everyone.
