Aang, a twelve-year-old airbender, wakes up after a century frozen in ice, found by Katara and her brother Sokka. He has to learn the other three elements before the Fire Nation conquers everything.
Starring Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley
It plays as an earnest, big-budget fantasy for cartoon fans who want it straight, and for newcomers who like watching people bend elements. The fight choreography is strong, and Aang's escape from Zuko's ship, with his staff turned into a glider, shows why. Gordon Cormier gives the part an upbeat charm that carries scenes even when the dialogue turns stiff.
The first episodes spend time explaining the world's rules, then it loosens once the group travels; season two picks up after a time jump.
