    Avatar is still on the air, but as with most of its old animated shows, it's been kicked to the premium networks.

    Yep, they're running it on Nicktoons network. Seems like every network's doing that these days- make a spinoff network that's nothing more than reruns of shows that have no chance in hell of running on the flagship station but are too valuable to throw away.

    I think Nickelodeon needs an "adult swim" pretty badly.
    somewhere they can put all these ips they still own that attract an older audience.
    I can't imagine it doing badly.

    So I've decided to make 3 Sokka shirts.

    One will say MEAT another WANG FIRE at your service! and the last will say something I've yet to decide.

    What I need is a decent picture/screencap to use for the first two.

    any suggetions?

    Remember hearing about a long time ago when they were explaining how fire was going to be the last book.

    fire was the last book; it was Book 3: Fire. Or did you mean to say "fire wasn't going to be the last book"?

    They said, fire is last, BUT we might do stuff after.

    oh, your wording was confusing me

    an "it" after "about" would've been great

    Just typing out loud...

    Front: "I stole this shirt"
    Back: "Because it gave me hooooope!"

    Front: Picture of a full, steaming cup of tea
    Back: The logo (if you feel up to designing one) for The Jade Dragon

    Mock pro wrestling ones for the various Earth Kingdom benders. I imagine you could get an entire line of shirts for The Boulder.

    Front: "Toph." Picture of Toph.
    Back: "Bending metal." Maybe a halfhearted attempt at scrawling out "bend", hinting at cussin'? I dunno. The joke was better in my head.

    Alternatively, one for "Metalbender" brand guitars. The first time the phrase was used, I realized how it sounded like some sort of niche guitar producer.

    It's a bit clumsy for a t-shirt, but something like, "Ask me why I'm called The Dragon of the West" would be good.

    Front: Appa being all cool, Momo with his arms crossed and leaning against one of his legs looking bored.
    Back: "Air Nomads"

    Back: A huge White Lotus
    Front: In small print, "Ask me about the order of the white lotus"

    Front: "Just a bear"
    Back: Picture of Boscoe.

    Clearly there needs to be one of a Team Avatar rock band. Aang on the flute with a bunch of those singing gophers, Toph on guitar. Sokka would probably play the drums, and Katara on Glass Armonica. Iroh of course on the Tsungi Horn.

    EDIT: And on the back, a touring schedule of the Avatar World. Something about their smash hit, "Secret Tunnel."

    Please share with the rest of the class your thought when you finish.

    I could evangelize for this show like half the board does for One Piece. I also wish this show was half as long as One Piece.

    61 is not enough. Just not enough. Not that story wasn't well told and given closure, but there is so much more that could be done with the world and the characters.

    So uh, wow. I started watching Avatar on netflix a few weeks ago on the recommendation of this very thread. I thought season 1 was pretty decent, but I didn't really get that into it until the season finale, which was good enough to convince me to keep watching into season 2. Anyway, I just finished season 3 and yeah... that was incredible. Definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen, animated or otherwise.
